Chapter 468
The Marquis' eyes tightened and he said sternly: "Jinning, do you know what you are talking about?"
Jinning's eyes were dark, "Father, I know."
The Marquis looked at the old man. His whole face was gray, his lips trembled slightly, and his hands kept holding the Tom Pozi.
"Speak!" The old man took a breath with difficulty and said.
Jin Ning couldn't bear it, but this matter was always open. She said, "To be honest, in fact, before this, I had already suspected her. At that time, my aunt was retired and couldn't get along with her all day long. I thought it was strange. No matter how arrogant my aunt was, I dared not get along with the old lady. So I pretended to approach my aunt and realized that the old lady had looked for Chen Mu before He Li, and told Chen Mu that there were many bad things in the Hou Mansion in front of Chen Mu, which prompted Chen Mu and his aunt to break up with the Hou Mansion. After knowing this, I was still puzzled.
Her intention, why did she break up with Chen Mu and the Hou Mansion? What good is this for her? Until she gave me a hairpin and repeatedly told me to take it with me. Before I was caught, she came to Ningse Pavilion in person to comb my hair and put on this hairpin. After I went out, I met an assassin pretending to be a sick woman, intending to hurt my shoulders. I reacted in time and only injured my palms and covered my shoulders with my palms. The assassin thought I had injured my shoulders. When he was interrogating me, he knew that he had carefully identified me as an assassin, and Xiao Hou had injured the assassin's shoulders."
After Jinning finished speaking, he looked at the old man, "Grandfather, if I was not wrong, the old lady has an injury on her shoulder, right?"
The old man was a little stunned.
Finally, his eyes were covered with a layer of rage, "That's right."
"Father!" said the marquis in surprise.
The old man's whole face fell apart, and he suddenly seemed to have a few years older. His lips trembled slightly, and he looked at Jingting, "Continue to investigate, I want evidence."
"Yes!" Jingting responded.
"Father, if you check it out, what are you going to do?" Jiang Ninghou asked in a complicated tone.
The old man looked at him for a long time.
Jinning and Jingting looked at each other, and they could only look at the old man's meaning first.
The old man said slowly: "If it is confirmed, I will report to the emperor."
"Father!" Jiang Ning Hou said anxiously: "If this is the case, your reputation will be ruined forever."
If you marry a house in detail, the emperor trusts him, but will the civil and military officials in the court trust him?
"Just seeking peace of mind, how can reputation be more important than the Great Zhou dynasty?" The old man smiled miserably, "People should be responsible for their own choices and bear all the consequences."
"My grandson understands." Jingting said softly.
"I hope my grandfather will endure this matter first. Don't reveal a word in front of the old lady. Since she has been lurking for many years and has never shown any flaws, it shows that she is very smart and cunning."
"Yes." The old man looked at her in a complicated way, "This time, the young lady was asked to suffer for nothing."
Jinning said: "I didn't suffer in vain, I just told them to work hard for nothing."
The old man has always had a lot of eyes for this granddaughter-in-law. Now, seeing that she was still calm and could not help but admire her even more when she saw that she was in prison due to the frame-up of Cui.
However, when he thought of Cui, his mood was very complicated.
He has never been beautiful in his life, and his sex was delayed. Cui is not a stunning woman. He would marry her because he saw that she was different from ordinary women. Although she was widowed, she was self-improvement and supported her children. Looking at her eyebrows and expressions, she had no sadness and complaints at all, which showed that her temperament was optimistic.
After the old man returned to the house, Cui waited for him to change his clothes and asked casually: "Is it for Liangsheng's business?"
The old man didn't look at her, but just replied lightly: "Yes."
"Go to sleep." Cui smiled and didn't ask any further.
The old man fell down and closed his eyes, but his mind was in a mess.
The next day, after the old man went out, Jinning came to pay tribute to Cui.
Cui has just started, and she didn't know the news that Jinning came back last night.
The old lady came in with a frightened look on her face and said, "Mrs. Come here to pay your respects to you."
The cup in Cui's hand slid down and he suddenly stood up, "What?"
"Why is grandmother so shocked? Don't you want to see me come?" Jinning poked out from behind the old lady and asked with a smile.
Cui looked at her, her heart was trembling with shock, but her usual calm expression remained unchanged, and then immediately raised a surprise smile, "Why don't you want to see you come? I'm worried when I hear something happened to you."
"Jinning is unfilial, which makes her grandmother worried." Jinning walked in and sat down as usual.
Cui glanced at the old lady quickly, and the old lady smiled and said, "Old slave makes tea, young lady sits slowly."
She immediately stepped out and asked the maid to make tea, and she went out of the house to inquire about the news.
Cui suppressed the shock in his heart, sat down, reached out to get the cup, and found that the cup had just broken. After snatching it, he touched the teapot and took it back unnaturally, guessing that Chen Jinning was coming. Do she know or don’t know? Or did she pretend to not know?
Thinking of this, she quickly glanced at Jinning and was surprised to see that she was carrying the hairpin above her head.
This hairpin...
Seeing her staring at the hairpin, Jinning smiled slightly and reached out to press the hairpin head, "Grandma can't bear to bear this hairpin?"
She reached out and pulled it down, took out a replacement from her sleeve bag, and pushed the jade hairpin in front of Cui, "Jinning is not short of it, this hairpin is returned to you."
Cui must have a clear idea of her ability to escape unstoppably.
So, she was not afraid of saying things out of the way and pretending to be confused with clarity. She felt that there was no need.
Cui was in a mess and subconsciously looked at the door.
"Don't worry, grandma, I'm here alone." Jinning knew what she meant and said lightly.
Cui reluctantly smiled, "Since this hairpin has been sent out, it is the young lady's. How could I take it back?"
Jinning smiled, "Then my grandmother will give it to the servants."
Cui's mind was spinning quickly, and she understood what this sentence meant very well.
However, she didn't understand why Chen Jinning could escape unstoppable.
The confession made in detail, this fire talisman hairpin, and the wounds on the shoulders were also issued by the emperor personally to investigate, and the Nanjian was blocked again. Even if she had the ability to be invincible, she could not use it.
"Does my grandmother know what crime I was arrested for?" Jinning asked.
Cui raised his head, "What's the charge?"
"Assassinate Xiao Hou and collude with the enemy and treason." Jinning's voice was cold.
Cui also aptly raised his shock, "How could this happen?"
"Just just accusation." Jinning said lightly, "Nanjian arrested two memorials and confessed that I was the murderer of assassinating Xiao Hou. He even said that I had an affair with the Xianbei and was willing to be a fair work of the Xianbei. How nonsense? The emperor naturally doesn't believe it."
"That's good!" Cui said, pretending to be relieved and smiled: "The young lady is smart, so naturally no one can frame the young lady."
"I dare not be smart, but the villain is too disturbing. He set up a plan and cut off his own arms. A few Xianbei's careful work was killed. If I hadn't learned about this, I would have been fooled."
Cui raised his eyes and said, "Oh? The young lady learned about it in advance?"
"Some people, no matter how meticulous they act, they will leave clues. If someone hadn't told me, how could I know that the fire talisman of Mr. Hongye would be engraved on the hairpin?"
Jinning stood up with a smile, "I have something to do, so it won't stop the old lady."
