Chapter 126 The truth emerges, vicious heart

Jiang Ning looked at this personal maid of Nangong Ling, and she had murderous intentions in her heart.

The slave betrayed the master, damn it!

"Hahaha..." Nangong Ya laughed suddenly, startling everyone.

Jiang Ning was wondering what was wrong with him, but found that his eyes were full of coldness and his face was dull.

"These words were taught to you by Yan'er, right? You remember them very well, and they are exactly the same as what you said last time. At first glance, there is nothing wrong, but when you think about it carefully, there are many loopholes."

Dongmei raised her head suddenly, with panic in her eyes: "My lord, I am telling the truth."

"Truth?" Nangong Ya's eyes were full of sarcasm, and his anger was not concealed. He asked in a loud voice: "You said that the third lady told you in person that her life in the prime minister's mansion was worse than death, and she wanted to pursue her own happiness. She also asked you to tell me that she hated me and asked me not to look for her in the future and just treat her as dead... Are these words also true?"

Dongmei lowered her eyes, twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, hesitated for a moment and replied: "...Yes."

Nangong Ya closed his eyes painfully, put his hand on his temples, and said softly: "Yan'er is really my good daughter. You know that only words like this can make a father so confused and make me feel guilty and have no time to think about the clues and believe some nonsense about elopement!"

Hearing Nangong Ya's words, he clearly knew something.

Dongmei bit her lips, feeling uneasy and not daring to speak.

Nangong Ya walked out from behind the desk, stood in front of Dongmei, and looked at her motionlessly: "Butler Ma is already kneeling here. If you tell the truth, I can still spare your life."

The struggle in Dongmei's eyes was clear, and Butler Ma spoke at the right time: "Dongmei, don't be smart, think clearly about who has the final say in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Dong!"

Nangong Ya looked at the person in front of him and knelt down heavily, and then confessed: "Sir, the third lady did not elope, but was taken away by the second lady."

Dongmei trembled all over, and did not dare to raise her head. She shook out everything she knew: "The day after you went to Jiangnan, the second lady tricked the lady into Xiangye Temple, and then took the third lady out of the house with a knockout drug. I don't know where she took the third lady."

"And then you conspired to say that she eloped? Even before I came back, you let the news of her elopement spread everywhere..."

Nangong Ya couldn't continue. His well-behaved second daughter actually had such a vicious mind.

"My lord, I didn't harm the third lady. It was the second lady who taught me to say so. I didn't dare to disobey her order..." Dongmei burst into tears, trying to pretend to be a pitiful person who was coerced.

"You didn't dare to disobey her order, but you dared to deceive me? Hahaha... OK, OK!" Nangong Ya laughed in anger, his eyes were already a little bloodshot.

"Someone come!" Nangong Ya shouted outside the door.

Jin Yao knew that Nangong Ya's order was not just for him, so he quickly walked a few steps outside the study and called two servants to come in.

"Take this slave away, lock her up in the woodshed and keep her under strict watch. Just give her one meal a day and make sure she doesn't starve to death. Wait for Madam and the Second Miss to come back from Xiangye Temple and then we'll settle the score!"

Nangong Ya turned around after giving the order, not wanting to look at Dongmei again.

"My lord, please spare this slave. It was the Second Miss who coerced me into doing this. Spare me..."

Jin Yao vaguely heard the conversation in the room from outside the house and knew that the maid had made a big mistake. Seeing that she still wanted to yell, he quickly took out the handkerchief he carried with him from his arms, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth, blocking her unfinished words.

The servants responded with a "yes", and each of them grabbed Dongmei's arm and dragged her away.

It turned out that Nangong Muyan was not in the mansion. Jiang Ning supported her chin with some regret. It seemed that she had to make another trip.

Jin Yao was about to follow the two men, but was stopped by Nangong Ya: "Go find Jin Hui right away and ask him to hurry to Xiangye Temple and catch up with the lady's carriage, and ask them to return immediately." "

Yes!"

After Jin Yao received the order and left, only Nangong Ya and the kneeling housekeeper Ma were left in the study.

"Where did you sell Ling'er?" Nangong Ya suddenly asked calmly.

But Jiang Ning saw that his hands behind his back were tightly clenched into fists.

Housekeeper Ma had followed Nangong Ya for decades, and he knew what kind of storm was brewing behind this calmness.

Butler Ma prostrated himself on the ground again and told the truth: "I don't know. I just followed the instructions of the Second Miss and found a dealer with some connections, and asked him to sell the Third Miss far away, preferably to a village in a remote area. But..."

"But what?" Nangong Ya's hands couldn't help shaking, there were some things he didn't dare to think about.

"But the Third Miss is already..." Butler Ma hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the female ghost in white, he gritted his teeth and told everything that happened tonight: "Dead!"

"What did you say!"

Nangong Ya's voice suddenly rose, and he could no longer contain his inner excitement, and kicked Butler Ma to the ground.

Butler Ma was about to get up when Nangong Ya rushed over, stretched out his hand to grab his collar and pulled him up from the ground: "What did you say?"

Nangong Ya asked again with red eyes.

Alas~

Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh when she saw this situation.

She was wrong at first, she thought that the only person in the world who cared about Nangong Ling was her biological mother Lan Xu, but it turned out that Nangong Ya also cared about her.

Nangong Ling's life was not too bad. Although her parents did not love each other, they both loved her, which was much better than her being abandoned at birth.

Nangong Ya kicked with full force, and Butler Ma's face wrinkled in pain, but facing the furious Nangong Ya, he did not dare to make a sound, and could only grit his teeth and endure the pain.

"Speak clearly! Wasn't Ling'er sold? How do you know she is dead? Tell me!"

Nangong Ya shook Butler Ma desperately, like a mad beast, completely losing his usual calmness.

"Miss San, her ghost is here to take my life. She killed me four times and saved me four times. I am covered in blood because of her." Butler Ma said, recalling that weird place with fear in his eyes.

"Are you kidding me?" Nangong Ya obviously didn't believe it.

Butler Ma was afraid that Nangong Ya didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, it's true. Miss San died with her eyes open and became a fierce ghost. She is coming back to take our lives. That's why I chose to tell you the whole truth."

But Butler Ma did not tell Nangong Ya about the deal he made with the female ghost. The female ghost really wanted to kill him, but Nangong Ya would not do that. After all, they had been friends for so many years, and he was just an accomplice in this matter.

Jin Yao pushed the door open at this time and reported to Nangong Ya, "Sir, Jin Hui has already set out."

Nangong Ya threw Butler Ma at Jin Yao's feet, looked down at him and asked, "Who is that trafficker? How to find him?"

"His name is Wei Fangxiong, and he lives in Wandong Road. I handed the third young lady over to him on the eighth day of July last year. The third young lady's hands and feet were all broken, and her body was covered with whip marks. Both sides of her face were burned by branding iron, and she was poisoned and mute and unable to speak. The characteristics were very obvious. The trafficker would definitely know who she was after asking anyone who handled her."

"Damn it!"

Nangong Ya was so angry when he heard about Nangong Ling's miserable condition that he stepped forward and kicked Butler Ma a few times.

Even Jin Yao, who was standing by, stared in disbelief, unable to believe that the delicate and shy Third Young Lady would suffer such a fate.

"Someone come!" Nangong Ya shouted hoarsely, and the two servants appeared in the house again: "Lock him and Dongmei in the dungeon together, and give each of them twenty lashes every day until Nangong Muyan comes back!"

Butler Ma stared in disbelief, unable to believe that Nangong Ya would do this to him.

Two servants came forward to pull him away. Butler Ma climbed over and hugged Nangong Ya's legs, crying: "Sir, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again. Considering the friendship that I have followed you for so many years, please forgive me this time..."

Nangong Ya's eyes were full of disgust, and he kicked him back: "You almost died on the street that year, and I took you home because I felt sorry for you. I have never treated you badly for all these years, but you treat my daughter like this. Friendship? Did you calculate that I would not kill you? Ridiculous!"

As Nangong Ya's words came out one by one, the light in Butler Ma's eyes dimmed a little.
