Chapter 420 Debunked
Madam Meng lowered her face just as she was about to speak, Madam Ning stood up immediately and said angrily, "Zhener and his wife are serious people, and they won't make up nonsense to fool people. If my sister-in-law doesn't believe me, I'll call Zhener's wife in. As soon as you ask, you'll know. Go, call Zhen'er daughter-in-law over!"
Before Mrs. Meng had time to stop her, Madam Ning turned around. Seeing Mrs. Ning's posture, and seeing her granddaughter's guilty conscience, Mrs. Meng felt that something was wrong and tried her best to recover, "Brother Zhen and his daughter-in-law have to take care of Zhen Ge'er, so we don't have to..."
"Mother, Aunt Meng." Before Mrs. Meng could finish speaking, Mrs. Zou had already entered, bowing her head and saluting.
Mrs. Ning nodded, "Zhen'er daughter-in-law, Jiaojiao said that someone pushed her into the water, tell me what happened before and after Zhen'er and Jiaojiao fell into the water, and see if you can find some clues, so that the yamen can solve the case as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zou, who covered her face with a thick powder of powder, raised her head and looked at Meng Yajiao on the bed. Her white face made Meng Yajiao shiver and did not dare to look at her. Zou said calmly, "Aunt Meng, niece and husband went to the God of Wealth Temple to enjoy the flowers after dinner, and saw Jiaojiao's sister talking to a man in front, and led the man to the depths of the peony garden in the West Hall of the God of Wealth... "
Hearing her say that, Meng Yajiao's face suddenly turned whiter than that of Zou's, "Sister-in-law, don't make any random arrangements. Someone asked me for directions at that time, and I just showed him the way."
Mrs Zou nodded and said gently, "So that's the case. I only heard my sister say, 'It's over there, please come with me, Mr. Huang,' and thought that my sister was going to take the eldest son of Princess Renyang's mansion to Xiaoqiao for a reward. Where is the king of peony from the west hall?"
Mrs. Meng frowned immediately. Mrs. Ning asked, "Daughter-in-law Zhen, do you mean the eldest son of Princess Renyang's mansion?"
"Yes, it was Mr. Huang Jianyun who asked Jiaojiao's sister for directions." Mrs. Zou replied, "It just so happened that Mr. Huang was wearing a robe of the same color as Brother Zhen. He walked to the middle of the bridge. Afterwards, Sister Jiaojiao suddenly turned around and dragged Brother Zhen into the water, and after being rescued, she asked 'what is it about you', I was thinking, maybe Sister Jiaojiao mistook Brother Zhen for Young Master Huang?"
"I didn't, grandmother, granddaughter didn't, someone pushed the granddaughter into the water." She was skinned by the Ning family in front of everyone, and Meng Yajiao was beaten to death without recognizing it.
Without giving Mrs. Meng a chance to interject, Mrs. Zou continued, "It turns out that someone pushed my sister, and that's why she fell into the water? The lights on the bridge were dim at that time, and I didn't see it clearly, but Mr. Huang was behind my sister. Let's You might as well tell the Xicheng Yamen about this, and let the Yamen send someone to the Princess Renyang Mansion to ask Mr. Huang, he must have seen it clearly, and my sister said yes or no?"
don't want…
Meng Yajiao shook her head subconsciously. She was still young, how could she speak to the Zou family, and she didn't know how to deal with it. Standing next to him, Mr. Zhao could not wait to lift the quilt and cover his niece, lest she continue to be embarrassed.
Mrs. Meng didn't understand anything when she heard this. She insisted and said, "Brother Zhen's daughter-in-law is right, you go back to take care of brother Zhen first. As for how to catch the culprit, I will discuss with your mother."
Seeing her mother-in-law nod her head, Mrs. Zou quit and went back to the quiet room where her husband was "recuperating". As soon as she entered the room, Ning Zhen, who was sitting on the bed eating snacks, immediately asked, "How is it?"
"I only told what happened, and my mother asked me to come back." Zou raised her hand to cover her face lightly. She had just said so many words, and her face hurt even more.
Ning Zhen immediately pushed away to eat, pulled his daughter-in-law onto the bed, and blew her swollen little face, "It doesn't hurt, let me see."
Mrs. Zou squinted her husband angrily and resentfully, and gently tore the veil, ignoring him. Ning Zhen was trembling at the sight of her, and quickly coaxed her heartily, "Mother is also impatient..."
Mrs. Zou said, "I don't blame my mother, I blame my husband! If you have any plans, you don't say hello to the concubine in advance, so that the concubine thinks that the husband...you..."
"If I tell you, we won't be able to fool the Meng family." Ning Zhen said proudly, "If this happens, half of the credit will be given to Madam."
"What do I want to do?" Can it be worth the face she was beaten by her mother-in-law!
Ning Zhen hugged Mrs Zou and smiled, "This half of the credit is at least two thousand taels."
Mr. Zou was shocked, "How could the Meng family give so much?"
"If they don't give it, let's report to Princess Renyang. Princess Renyang and the concubine Huangma know that someone is going to plot against their son. What do you think they will do?" Ning Zhen said proudly.
With the abilities of Princess Renyang, Huang Gelao and General Huang, it would be a piece of cake to clean up Meng Huizhou and Meng Yajiao! Zou's eyes lit up, and he asked worriedly, "Can the Meng family get so much money?"
Ning Zhen said sourly, "Don't underestimate Meng Huizhou's old man. The thin dead camel is bigger than a horse. He has made a lot of money in the punishment department over the years.
Mr. Zou said greedily, "Then why don't we take the opportunity to shave a few more hairs on him?"
"Stupid stuff." Ning Zhen pinched his daughter-in-law's waist, "If you want more, they will give up Meng Yajiao and won't give you a penny, then we're not going to be beaten with eggs!"
"Husband is right. For Meng Xunli's future, they are willing to give Meng Yajiao to Liu Juncai, and the first daughter of Meng's family is worth 4,000 taels of silver." Zou thought for a while, and then said, "Husband, let's do this. , will the Meng family ask us to settle accounts in the future..."
"Jiang Er lunatic is a villain who has vengeance and will avenge him. He will not let the Meng family have a future. If you don't believe it, just wait and see. Next year at the latest, the Meng family will definitely be driven out of Kang'an City by Jiang Er lunatic." Ning Zhen Promise. He used to hang out with Meng San, and the one he despised the most was Jiang Er.
Zou looked at her husband admiringly, "Husband devised a strategy, it's amazing."
Ning Zhen snorted, "I just don't have the face of Jiang Er's madman, otherwise he would be able to show off his power in Kang'an City."
"Husband is also going to take the martial arts exam, okay? Jiang Er can be a jinshi, my husband must be better than him!" Zou said with longing.
…%
When Ning Zhen was speechless, Mrs. Ning pushed the door and came in. Zou immediately stood up and stood there respectfully, Ning Zhen quickly asked in a low voice, "Mother, how are you?"
Mrs. Ning gave her unruly daughter-in-law a hard look and said, "Meng Er's daughter-in-law went back to the house to get the money."
"How many?"
"Five thousand taels."
"So many?" Zou couldn't help but be overjoyed. Her 2,500 taels were so easy to get. This slap was so worth it.
Mrs. Ning said proudly, "Zhen'er is ill and can't earn enough money to support her family, buy a house for her to marry a wife, Kang'an City is expensive, how little is it enough to buy a house?"
Hearing that the money that was coming was going to be used by Ning Zhi to buy a house and marry a wife, the corner of Zou's mouth pulled down, and his face hurt even more.
