The wind and the moon

Chapter 16 Xia Ningxiang's Flirting Causes Trouble

The interrogation was repeated, but nothing was found.Meng Yuxuan, Song Yinsheng and Su Pei returned to Panyue Tower, when Hua Nongying saw them coming in, she knelt down at Meng Yuxuan's feet and cried, "My lord, you treat your slaves very well, but no matter how cruel your slaves are, Don't dare to poison the young master!"

Qiao Hongyao also knelt down and said, "My lord, this servant has the guts to testify for Miss Nongying! She really won't harm you!"

Meng Yuxuan nodded and said, "You don't have to be afraid. I'll find out who poisoned you. Tell me, on the way back from the kitchen, who did you meet and what happened?"

Hua Nongying wiped away tears, choked up and said, "My lord, I didn't meet anyone."

"Think about it carefully, but who did you talk to?"

"No, I just went back to the building and met Sister Ningxiang. She asked me if I still had the lotus powder that the previous girl gave out, and asked me to pack some for her. She said mine was gone, so I put the medicine in the box. On the table, I baked some hibiscus powder for her, and then it disappeared." Hua Nongying said carefully.

"Ningxiang?" Meng Yuxuan repeated softly, thinking: She followed me from the beginning, but I treated her well, and she shouldn't hurt anyone.

At this time, Su Ningxiang came down from upstairs, and saw a group of people standing, kneeling, crying, and even stalemate, she smiled and said, "Mr. Get angry, drink some tea to calm down, and then investigate slowly, just asking this question, who would dare to admit the crime of beheading?" He said, brought tea and handed it to Meng Yuxuan and Song Yinsheng.

Meng Yuxuan took it, took a sip, and said: "Get up!" After finishing speaking, he returned the teacup to Su Ningxiang, turned around and went upstairs.

Mei Ling and Han Shengluan were talking with Mo Yun. Mo Yun didn't know about his poisoning, he just thought that he was suffering from pain and fainted from the pain. It was difficult for anyone to explain to him, so he simply confused him.

Song Yinsheng walked to the bed and asked Mo Yun: "How is it? Are you feeling better today?"

Mo Yun nodded and replied softly: "It's much better, thank you Brother Song for your concern."

"Well, I've asked the storeroom to allocate more of your favorite food for you these few days. You should make up more and take care of your body first. After all, you are too thin to bear any grievances." Song Yinsheng said.

"Well, you're not like me. You can only lose weight day by day. If you take care of yourself and pay attention to your diet, you can make your appearance stronger. When your body is healthy, other things will be good, isn't it?" Mei Ling also said.

Han Shengluan saw everyone talking one after another, full of caring words for Mo Yun, but felt bored, got up and wanted to go back.

Meng Yuxuan stopped him and said, "Master Han, don't go, let's cook here."

"No, the Prince's Pillow Pavilion is also on display, I'd better go back and eat." Han Shengluan said, and he lifted the curtain and went downstairs by himself.

Meng Yuxuan shook his head, and said to Su Pei: "Let someone pass the meal in the outer room. Sheng'er and Ling'er also eat here."

Su Pei nodded and hurried to make arrangements.The three retreated to the outside room to talk, not disturbing Mo Yun's rest anymore.

Meng Yuxuan was still thinking about who was going to harm Mo Yun. If he didn't find out clearly, he might be like what Han Shengluan said, that being fine for a while doesn't mean that he will be fine in the long run.

Seeing his expression, Song Yinsheng knew what he was thinking and worrying, so he briefly said, "Cousin, you don't need to ask any more. I think the reason why you asked so many people and didn't pursue it is because you know clearly. , but you just don’t want to ask for proof.”

Meng Yuxuan seemed to be poked at the center by him, sighed, and said: "Even if Shuang'er is a bit willful and indulgent, he can't reach this point. I just went to his room a few days ago and warned him once. He should restrain himself a little bit. That's right. But in terms of motive, he is indeed the most suspicious."

Song Yinsheng knew the embarrassment and inappropriateness of it, and said: "I see, this matter has to be investigated from the bottom first. On the one hand, there is no evidence, and on the other hand, it is hindered by affection. The people at the bottom are first-class maids. , there are so many second-class maids, servants and mothers-in-law, it is not guaranteed that all of them will be good, and after receiving some benefits, they will strengthen their courage to do some deadly things, and they really cannot be kept."

"That's exactly the reason. If I go to Shuang'er for questioning first, if there is no evidence, he will naturally not admit it. I'm afraid there will be a lot of noise and the city will be full of storms. If there is evidence, I will punish him severely. , but, after all, I can't bear it."

"Brother Meng, according to Mei Ling, this matter should be suppressed for the time being, and Mo Yun's daily diet should be separated from the kitchen, and a few proper people will be found to take charge of it personally, and they will be tested with needles before drinking. It will definitely be fine." Mei Ling persuaded.

Meng Yuxuan shook his head and said: "As you said, separating Mo Yun's food and drink will make it easier, but if you don't check and deal with a few people, I'm afraid these servants will become even more arrogant and lose their size. Sheng Er , I will leave this matter to you first!"

Song Yinsheng nodded and said, "Okay, cousin."

After lunch, Song Yinsheng and Mei Ling went. Just as they walked out of the Panyue Tower, they saw Meng Yushuang head-on. Mei Ling greeted softly, "Where are you from?"

Meng Yushuang pretended not to see or hear, turned her head and walked into Panyue Tower by herself.Seeing him, Su Pei said, "Why is Second Young Master coming here when you are free?"

Meng Yushuang stepped forward, smiled, and said, "Why, Song Yinsheng is free to come, Mei Ling is free to come, good sister-in-law, why don't I have time to come?"

When Su Pei heard the words "good sister-in-law", her cheeks blushed immediately, and she said: "You just talk nonsense, the prince is up there, be careful and listen to him!" After finishing speaking, she turned and went inside.

Meng Yushuang snorted coldly and said in his heart: Hypocrisy!Stepping upstairs, when she looked up, she saw Meng Yuxuan was lying on the other bed inside, eyes closed, as if she was fast asleep, Hua Nongying and Qiao Hongyao were packing the dishes outside, Xia Ningxiang was lighting the incense, Seeing Meng Yushuang approaching, Xia Ningxiang said, "Sit there." Meng Yushuang sat on the table by herself.

The two maids tidied up and went downstairs.Xia Ningxiang brought tea and passed it over.

When Meng Yushuang took the tea, he held Xia Ningxiang's hand tightly, fondled it, and said, "It smells so good!"

Xia Ningxiang spat at him, and whispered: "Go, stay here."

"Let me tell you, tomorrow I'll trade Mingzhu for you, what do you think?" Meng Yushuang didn't let go, just talking nonsense.

"What are you in a hurry for? The golden hairpin fell into the well. If it's yours, then it's yours." As she whispered, she pulled out her hand, and Xia Ningxiang turned around and was about to go downstairs.

Meng Yushuang turned around and pulled her back again, and said with a smile, "Of course other people are not in a hurry, but you are really anxious to drive me away."

"Not necessarily, isn't Second Young Master more anxious about Qiu Jin in the Missy's room?"

"What makes me anxious about her? It's you, how can I not be in a hurry when you treat me well on weekdays?"

Meng Yuxuan was lying in the room, about to take a rest, but it happened that Meng Yushuang came in, so he didn't fall asleep, but was lazy, wanting to wait for him to come over before getting up to talk, hearing the two people outside, there was a nameless anger in his heart, The unresolved anger was instantly ignited and poured out. He grabbed a teacup on the bed table and threw it hard. The teacup passed through the bead curtain and hit Meng Yushuang.

Startled, Meng Yushuang turned sideways and took a step away. With a loud crash, the teacup shattered on the ground. The two of them could not tell each other. They turned around and were about to go downstairs, wanting to avoid it.

Meng Yuxuan shouted: "Stand still!"

Where did Meng Yushuang listen to him?After a few steps, he slipped away like a thief.Hearing the shout, Xia Ningxiang slowed down her steps, looked back, and saw Meng Yuxuan standing at the entrance of the building with a dark face, she couldn't help being startled, so she stopped, turned around slowly, lowered her head, and turned back again .

Meng Yuxuan snorted twice, and said, "Who am I? So it's my maid! It's great to see you every day, I only know that you are the same as Su Pei, but you are a shameless brat who seduces men! Hmph , I see that you are old enough, get the money tomorrow, and get married on your own!"

After Xia Ningxiang heard this, she knelt down on the ground immediately and cried: "My lord, Ning Xiang only joked with the second young master, Ning Xiang, Ning Xiang will never dare again, please, my lord, don't drive Ning Xiang out!"

At this time, Su Pei had heard the movement and rushed over. Seeing Meng Yuxuan, she was so angry and annoyed that she dared not speak up.

"If you don't go out, you still want to move to the Tingfeng Tower! Su Pei, pull her down, don't make her cry here, and disturb Mr. Mo's rest." Meng Yuxuan said, turned and went back to the room.

Xia Ningxiang crawled over, begging.Su Pei only said that it would be useless to ask at this time, it is better to wait for the lord's anger to dissipate before explaining and begging, so she took Xia Ningxiang's arm and said: "The lord is getting angry, go down first, turn around and beg the lord again!"

Xia Ningxiang pulled her away, still begging: "For the sake of Ningxiang's being with the prince for several years, please forgive Ningxiang this time!"

Meng Yuxuan was even more annoyed, and said: "If you don't go down, you will be beaten down!"

After Xia Ningxiang heard the words, she didn't dare to ask any more, so she had to follow Su Pei to retreat outside the building.

Su Pei tried to persuade her a lot, but Xia Ningxiang just cried and begged her for help.Su Pei sighed and said, "When Mr. Mo first came, what did you say to Hui'er in the room, and what did I tell you again? How dare you do it again? After all these years, you don't know , the prince is not Mr. Mo's good nature, let the subordinates talk nonsense, now, I'm afraid it's useless for me to say."

"In the past, I was just joking, but I didn't see the prince getting angry, but now, for some reason, I just..." Xia Ningxiang cried aggrievedly.

"After the prince returned to the garden, you can see how many things you have to do. Of course, you don't need to talk about it. It's just that nothing goes well. The prince has long been depressed! Besides, the second son There is no sun in your mouth, you don't avoid suspicion, but talk to him glibly, as if what you said is true, it's no wonder the prince is not angry!"

"Sister, please, think of a way, don't drive me out!" Xia Ningxiang immediately understood, and she was about to kneel down as she spoke.

Su Pei hurriedly supported her, thought for a while, and said, "I can only ask the eldest lady, Mr. Song or Mr. Mo, maybe you can persuade the prince to take back his life."

"I'm going to beg the eldest lady right now!" Xia Ningxiang said, wiping away her tears.

Su Pei nodded and said, "I'll help you to ask Mr. Song."

Xia Ningxiang thanked her a thousand times and went with her separately.

Mo Yun woke up when Meng Yuxuan broke the teacup, and when he heard him scolding Xia Ningxiang angrily, he felt a little panicked, closed his eyes tightly and pretended to sleep, thinking: I don't know what she did wrong to make Brother Meng so angry To drive her out?Brother Meng, he is a prince after all, he can keep people if he wants to, and if he is unhappy, he can drive them out again.Then will I be kicked out one day if I offend him... Thinking of this episode, I tremble slightly, not daring to think anymore.
