"Mother, I asked someone to send me here. Maybe I was so busy that I forgot about the Bright Frost Garden. There were so many guests in the mansion just now, and I can't stay with the Fifth Young Lady all the time! As for those servants, they were lazy and ran out by themselves. It has nothing to do with me. "
"You've been in charge of this mansion for a while. How can there be an evil servant who bullies the master! Although the Fifth Young Lady lives in a remote place, she is still the daughter of the Lord Protector's Manor. How can I allow others to bully her? Ask someone to add a few more servants to the Bright Frost Garden later. Don't let the Fifth Young Lady be wronged. "Madam Dowager stared at Madam Ling for a long time and said in a low voice after a while.
"Yes, I will listen to you. Just now I was so busy that I made Xueyan feel wronged. Xueyan, I apologize to you."
Madam Ling admitted her mistake quickly this time. She turned to Ning Xueyan and actually prepared to apologize to her.
If she apologized to her, Ning Xueyan would be accused of disrespecting the elders and being arrogant!
Since the hard way didn't work, she used the soft way!
Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart and glanced at Ning Zu 'an who looked gloomy. She didn't have any hope for her father, but her eyes lingered on Madam Dowager Liu's face.
In order to achieve their goal, Madam Dowager and Madam Ling used both the soft and the hard way. They repeatedly made her understand the meaning of sharing glory.
Unfortunately, they made a wrong calculation this time. She already had a plan to deal with it.
With a cold smile on her lips, Ning Xueyan took two steps back to avoid Madam Ling's salute. When she raised her head, the coldness in her eyes had disappeared and she said with some surprise, "Mother, you are a first-rank Marquis's wife and my elder. How dare I accept your salute? Mother, you are going to kill me."
"Madam Ling, don't embarrass the Fifth Young Lady. Now I need to ask what to do next. As a Marchioness, don't you know how embarrassing it is to hold a funeral as a happy event?"
Although Ning Xueyan was surprised, her words were tactful and appropriate, which made it seem that Madam Ling was impetuous and rude. Madam Dowager Liu even disregarded her identity and wanted to salute to the younger generation. She frowned and asked directly.
"I …"
Madam Ling couldn't answer for a while and turned to Madam Dowager.
Madam Dowager coughed. Before she spoke, Madam Dowager Liu turned to ask her, "Sister-in-law, do you also know about this?"
Her words made Madam Dowager cough violently. After a while, she drank the tea in the servant girl's hand and said with hatred, "Madam Ling hid it from me. How would I know?" Madam Dowager said.
Speaking of this, Madam Dowager Liu hated Madam Ling more.
Madam Ming died last night, but she didn't know until this morning that the bridal sedan chairs of the Xia's Mansion had already left. She couldn't let the bridal sedan chairs go back to where they were and get another coffin to carry them!
Madam Madam Madam was so passive because of Madam Ling.
"Now that things have come to this, I have to think of a way to make up for it. The reputation of the House of the Marquis has been ruined, and it does no one any good! Madam. Madam Ling'll Young, Master Madam Young Madam, Young Young Madam, Madam Madam, Madam, Madam Madam, Madam, Young Master Madam I, I, Madam.
At this point, Old Madam didn't want to hide it anymore. She came straight to the point and told Ning Xueyan her purpose.
Someone died in the family. Instead of holding a funeral, they wanted Ning Xueyan and Madam Ming to be the scapegoats. How could Madam Dowager and Madam Ling think it was reasonable to distort the facts!
Only Ning Zu 'an, who was sitting on the side, withdrew his gaze uneasily. He looked a little ashamed.
Sure enough, this was why Madam Dowager, Ning Zu 'an, and Madam Ling called her here!
She clenched her fists in her sleeves and her eyes were full of cold anger! He had to restrain himself to suppress the anger that was rising in him.
They wanted to make her and her mother the scapegoats. It was a perfect plan. Unfortunately, she was here. They couldn't do it!
Ning Xueyan nodded and said with a smile, "Grandmother, I know your painstaking efforts. I am willing to do as you say!"
Hearing Ning Xueyan's words, Madam Dowager felt relieved. She felt that her granddaughter was a reasonable girl.
Seeing the change of Madam Dowager's expression, Ning Xueyan smiled again and changed the topic.
"But now the whole city knows the scandal of the Lord Protector's Manor concealing the funeral and holding a big wedding. If we change the story now, I'm afraid people will think that the Lord Protector's Manor wants to cover up the scandal, and they don't hesitate to pour the dirty water on the dead. If someone with ulterior motives says something carelessly and makes it known to the Emperor, I'm afraid …"
Ning Xueyan knew that she had achieved the effect when she said this. Madam Dowager's face was livid and her eyes were wandering.
Madam Ling saw that Madam Dowager was going to give in. She was anxious and hurried to say with a hollow smile, "How would the emperor know such a trivial thing? Xueyan, don't talk nonsense. Exaggerate and scare your grandmother!"
What she meant was that Ning Xueyan didn't want to take the responsibility for the manor, so she deliberately scared Madam Dowager.
"Mother, do you think the emperor doesn't know? Or do you think this kind of thing can't be heard directly? Could it be that Mother is doubting His Majesty's ability? If these words reach His Majesty's ears … … "
