Chapter 156: There is some cleverness in him
After Xie Yunqing said this, the slave immediately realized that he had been deceived. The next moment, he lowered his head, and then blood suddenly flowed out of his mouth.
Butler Shen Bo exclaimed: "He bit off his tongue."
Shen Ning smiled and didn't care: "He is quite tough, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether he says it or not."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Chengxi: “Now it’s time to ask my brother, why would the servants in your yard stand up and frame me?”
Shen Chengxi's face turned ashen. Looking at the girl on the ground in his yard who had pointed out that Shen Ning had asked Qi Yue to hurt Xue, he gritted his teeth and said, "Who taught you to do this?"
The girl stammered and refused to be honest: "This servant, this servant, I just saw it wrongly. At that time, Madam Xue was injured, and this servant saw the eldest lady and Qiyue there, so I subconsciously thought... This servant knows I was wrong, young master, this servant knows I was wrong."
After saying that, the maid kowtowed to Shen Ning again: "Miss, please spare my life. I was blind and made a mistake. Please spare my life, please, Miss."
Shen Chengxi was no fool, so how could he not see anything at this moment? Seeing that this girl still refused to be honest at the last minute, he shouted angrily: "Drag this bastard who is talking nonsense away and beat her to death."
"Master, please spare me, Miss, please spare me, Madam, please spare me... Second Miss, please save me, Second Miss, please save this servant..."
Chen Ning uttered a sigh, "Why are you yelling for help to the Second Miss? If someone doesn't know, they would think it was the Second Miss who ordered you to do it."
Shen Nian immediately burst into tears: "How can you say that to me, sister?"
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sobbed, "It's just that I often go to my brother's yard and I'm a little familiar with this maid. She was desperate and wanted me to save her life."
After saying this, Chen Nian pointed at the maid and said angrily, holding back tears, "You are such a rebellious person! Not only did you frame my sister, but even when Xue Shi offended my sister before, I showed no mercy, scolded her severely, and almost kicked her out of the house... Do you think that just because I am easy to talk to, I can't tell right from wrong and plead for you?"
Turning around and hugging Xie Yunqing's arm, Shen Nian sniffed and said angrily: "Such a rebellious servant should be beaten to death, so as not to cause trouble at home and hinder the relationship between me and my sister."
At this moment, the maid who had just opened her mouth to plead with Chen Nian was as pale as death and could no longer utter a word.
She saw the handkerchief in Shen Nian's hand. That handkerchief was a gift she gave to her sister-in-law who was about to give birth when she returned home a few days ago.
She embroidered it herself, so she recognized it at a glance, but now, the handkerchief is in the hands of the second young lady.
Thinking of her expectant sister-in-law who raised her like her mother, and her young nephew… the little maid closed her eyes and fell to the ground, no longer daring to ask Shen Nian for help.
Servants like them are just objects and not human beings in the eyes of their masters. She helped the second lady frame the eldest lady, and now that the incident has been exposed, she can only suffer the consequences.
"I am a good friend of Qin'er... and since I saw that the eldest young master doesn't like the eldest young lady, I thought of framing her to help Qin'er escape. I know my crime... but I beg for death."
She is not a slave and will not be beaten to death at will, but she is bound to be crippled and sold, and may end up as a slave. Rather than that, it is better for her to die immediately.
Shen Chengxi was furious: "How dare you bite me..."
This bitch seemed to be talking about how he hated his own sister and that's why he changed his attitude according to the situation. It's so hateful!
At this moment, Madam Shen, who had never spoken a word, slammed the table fiercely and said, "Come here, drag these two slaves and the servant away. Beat the servant to death and break the slave's legs and sell her off."
The old lady spoke and the housekeeper responded immediately. Soon, the servants dragged the three people out.
Chen Ning smiled and said, "Grandma is the most compassionate person because she eats vegetarian food and chants Buddhist scriptures. My granddaughter thought that Grandma is a kind-hearted Bodhisattva who cannot bear to kill."
Madam Shen snorted coldly: "Even if you have the heart of a bodhisattva, you can't tolerate servants causing trouble in your home. You even dare to frame your master. You should be beaten to death to serve as a warning to others."
Shen Ning smiled and said, “That’s what grandma said.”
Xie Yunqing was still furious: "You lowly servant, you actually bullied your master."
Beside him, Chen Xiuhe soothed him gently, "The truth has been revealed. Don't be angry. Take care of yourself."
Shen Nian was still wiping her tears.
At this time, the old lady asked Shen Ning: "Where is Xue now?"
"Oh, her."
Shen Ning smiled and said, "She was seriously injured and died last night."
Everyone was stunned. The old lady frowned: "Then how do you know it's that slave..."
Shen Ning said innocently: "Granddaughter doesn't know, I just tricked them and they confessed everything. What do you think, Grandma, isn't your granddaughter very smart?"
Madam Shen was silent for a moment, then sighed silently: "He does have some cleverness."
Shen Ning smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, grandma."
The truth of the matter has been revealed, and it is already daylight outside. Shen Xiuhe went to court, the old lady went back to rest, and Shen Ning and Shen Nian supported Xie Yunqing on both sides and returned to the yard.
Xie Yunqing stroked Shen Ning's hand: "I'm sorry for making Ning Ning feel wronged."
When Xie Yunqing thought of this, he was filled with hatred: "Those two bitches should be beaten to death."
Shen Ning smiled and comforted: "Mom, don't be angry, your daughter doesn't feel wronged, it's just some low-level tricks... As long as you always believe in me, no one can frame me."
Xie Yunqing thought about it and realized that this was the case. Others dared to frame her, Ningning, because they thought no one would support her. As long as she always believed in her daughter and always supported her, no one in this family would be able to harm her daughter.
"Mom will always believe in Ningning and support her."
Shen Ning smiled: "Okay...sister, did you hear that?"
Shen Nian forced a smile: "I will always believe in my sister."
It turned out that Xue was already dead. When she was implicated by that girl just now, she was worried that Xue would also blame her, so she deliberately said that she scolded Xue because of Shen Ning and wanted to drive her away. In this way, even if Xue stood up to accuse her, she would have an excuse to defend herself.
But I didn't expect that all this was just Shen Ning's trick...
This sister is much more difficult than I imagined.
As Shen Ning was supporting Xie Yunqing forward, she saw Xie Yunqing's maid Lu Yue hurried in: "Madam, the young master of the Ye family has sent a visiting card requesting an audience."
Xie Yunqing was a little suspicious: "Young Master Ye, who is this?"
Lu Yue reminded quietly: "It's Noble Concubine Ye's nephew, Mr. Ye Heng, who works in the Imperial Hospital."
Xie Yunqing finally came to his senses. Although he didn't understand why a young man came to visit, he still asked Lu Yue to welcome him in.
It was only after a while that Xie Yunqing realized that this Mr. Ye had come to visit her daughter.
Chen Ning had previously saved Ma Cairen and Long Si in the palace, and her miraculous skills had already spread throughout the Imperial Hospital. Ye Heng, under the orders of the Imperial Hospital Director and with the Empress's oral permission, had come to invite Chen Ning to teach at the Imperial Hospital...
