The lady is on top, the general is on the bottom

After Zhao Chong'er fell into the water, she passed out because of excessive fright.

At this moment, Nie Xiuqi had just arrived belatedly. He walked up to his cousin with his head held high, and his eagle eyes glanced at Li Juzi. The latter's heart was shocked, and he took a few steps back regardless of being wet. He lowered his head, not knowing what to think in his heart.

Nie Xiuqi saw that Zhao Chong'er was covered with a thin coat, her face was pale, her breathing was a little short, and she pretended to be unconscious.

He didn't intend to expose this fact, anyway, Zhao Chong'er fell into the water today and her reputation has been ruined, even if she didn't marry Li Juzi, she could only twist her hair and become a sister-in-law.Zhao Chong'er has just reached the age of Ji, which is the best time for a girl, no matter what, her grandmother is reluctant to let her be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.

He told the trembling servant girl beside him:

"Go and help your master up, let's go back to the house."

Hearing the indifferent voice of Hushi General, Zhao Chong'er's personal servant girl couldn't help shaking, she didn't take good care of the young lady.What should be done if Mrs. Nie finds out about the young lady falling into the water?

Nie Xiuqi ignored the terrified servant girl, but turned to look at Li Juzi, and said:

"Dare to ask your son Gao's name, today you saved Shemei, Nie Mouhe should come to the door to thank you in person."

Juzi's surname is Li Wei, whose real name is Li Wei.He was not from the capital city, but he failed the imperial examination this time. Originally, he wanted to leave Beijing, but General Nie sent his men to find him, and asked him to enter the water to save the Zhao family with 500 taels of silver.

Li Wei himself has a temperament of arrogance, and when he heard that he could directly climb up to the general of the hussars, he was overjoyed at once, and Zhao Chong'er himself was not bad in appearance, with a slender figure, which meant that he was a beauty. After Zhao's rescue, he can still become the in-laws of Hushi General's Mansion, no matter what, it's a sure-fire deal.

Cupping his hands at Nie Xiuqi, Li Wei suppressed the excitement in his heart and said:

"Returning to the general, Xiaosheng's surname is Li, and the single name has the word Wei. It is a coincidence that he rescued the young lady today. I hope the general will not take it to heart."

Hearing this, Nie Xiuqi's thin lips evoked a slight smile. From the very beginning, he saw that Li Wei was not a kind person. This person was so hypocritical, but because of the influence of the Hussar General's House, He didn't dare to neglect Zhao Chong'er, from this point of view, it was a good match.

With this thought in his mind, Nie Xiuqi didn't even look at Zhao Chong'er who was pretending to be unconscious, he gave Li Wei a little bow, and left Huafang directly.

It is said that Zhao Chonger pretended to be unconscious, and was helped into the carriage by the maid. After getting into the carriage, she suddenly opened her eyes, and hot tears could not stop falling. This girl was really panicked at the moment. She was touched by a strange man. Second cousin?

Seeing that the master woke up, Xing Yi on the side couldn't help showing a gleam of joy, and hurriedly said:

"Miss, you have woken up. If something serious happens, the servant will die!"

Hearing Xingyi's voice, Zhao Chong'er was even more bored, and without thinking about it, she slapped Xingyi, her delicate face was very distorted, and she growled:

"You are going to die! Shut up quickly, if you alarm others. Be careful that Miss Ben skins you alive!"

Zhao Chong'er is not a good-natured person, her father's official position is not high, although she is a concubine girl, but there are many concubine sisters in the back house, intrigues all day long, if a dough is made soft, I'm afraid it would have been a long time ago Was grinded to death.

Pretending to be ignorant of the world in front of Mrs. Nie is completely against Zhao Chonger's nature, because this girl has been raised by Mrs. Nie's side for a period of time since she was a child, and she got away with it.

After being slapped severely by Zhao Chong'er, Xingyi's eyes turned red immediately, but fortunately, she was used to Miss's moody appearance.Even if she was beaten, she wasn't as sad as she used to cry, she just kept her mouth shut.

In all fairness, Xingyi's appearance is pretty and pleasant, and she has a gentle temperament on her body, which makes people happy. It's a pity that Xingyi is similar to Zhao Chonger, and she is also quite scheming, otherwise she would not In front of Mrs. Nie, she will apply eye drops to Lin Ning's eyebrows.

Nie Xiuqi was riding beside the carriage at the moment. He had excellent hearing and could hear the conversation in the carriage clearly.

A trace of satisfaction flashed across the eagle's eyes.With today's incident of falling into the water, Zhao Chong'er is bound to marry Li Juzi, and after this woman is settled, Ning Mei will never be jealous again.

Thinking of his little wife, Nie Xiuqi's cold and hard lines could not help but soften a little. He is already an extremely outstanding figure in the capital.Even though he was young, but because he was in a high position, he added a bit of fortitude, causing women on both sides of the road to stop. Fortunately, because Nie Xiuqi had already married a wife, there was no such thing as throwing fruit and carts. .

A group of people returned to Hushi General's Mansion.At this moment, the old lady Nie who was in the Yi Yuan Hall had already received the news, and the old man's complexion turned red. She is a good person, so how could she not see that this was the trick of her grandson?

With Weijin's martial arts, if he really wanted to protect Zhao Chong'er, this girl would never fall into the water no matter what. Now that Chong'er's reputation has been ruined, even if she is regarded as a common wife, it would be inappropriate.

When Nie Xiuqi entered the mansion, he didn't go back directly to Zhuo Yuxuan, but went to Yi Yuan Hall first, and Sheng's grandmother was very angry.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, a teacup flew towards him and hit Nie Xiuqi's forehead firmly, leaving a bloodstain immediately. On the ground of the city, it looks very strange.

Seeing that Nie Xiuqi was injured, the old lady Nie was so angry that her heart ached, she slapped the golden nanmu table hard, and said angrily:

"Why don't you even hide?"

Hearing this, Nie Xiuqi showed a trace of guilt on his cold face, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Nie, saying:

"Grandmother. Grandson is unfilial. He failed to protect cousin Chonger and let her fall into the water. I hope grandma will punish her."

Punishment?

If old lady Nie really had the heart to punish Nie Xiuqi, that would be fine!Seeing the blood on Nie Xiuqi's forehead at this moment, the old lady Nie had no choice but to sigh.

Pointing at Nie Xiuqi, the old lady Nie gritted her teeth:

"Weijin, you are really crazy! Mrs. Lin is just a little girl, why should she marry her own cousin for such an unfaithful girl?"

Hearing the words 'unfaithful and unrighteous', Nie Xiuqi understood his grandmother's knot in an instant. At this moment, there was no one else in Yi Yuan's hall, and Nie Xiu walked up to the old lady Nie on knees, whispering road:

"Grandmother, you misunderstood Ningmei. She has never done anything wrong to her grandson, so how can she bear the reputation of infidelity?"

Old Madam Nie frowned tightly.She was very clear that Lin's entry into the palace was entirely to save Weijin's life, but she knew it was the same thing, and there was always a lump in her heart, like a pimple in her throat, which made her very uncomfortable.

"You, do you know that she once served a saint in the palace!"

The old lady Nie spoke earnestly, feeling very troubled in her heart. After all, Mrs. Lin is also the benefactor of the Nie family, but the identity of brother Yu made her think about it. It was a coincidence that the child was born, and his appearance Very similar to a saint, this, this is really filthy!

Seeing his grandmother's attitude, Nie Xiuqi also knew that Ning Mei's identity could not be concealed any longer, otherwise his grandmother would have the idea of ​​letting him take a concubine. Started to grind again and again.

Pursing his lips, Nie Xiuqi whispered:

"Grandmother probably doesn't know the identity of Ning Mei. She is not the daughter of the wet nurse, but the daughter of the current Empress Dowager. The Princess Changping back then was the title of Ning Mei."

After hearing this, Old Madam Nie's pupils shrank slightly, and she couldn't believe it no matter what, if the Lin family was really from the Empress Dowager, why would she be reduced to the Marquis of Jinyang?

With a low sigh, Nie Xiuqi briefly explained Lin Ningmei's life experience, and finally said:

"I'm afraid you think Brother Yu's status is inappropriate, but Ning Mei is the saint's direct sister, and the queen mother has known about this for a long time. Otherwise, the queen mother has a noble status, so why would she favor an orphan girl?"

Old Madam Nie was taken aback for a moment, and she realized that what Nie Xiuqi said was very reasonable, and she might have really misunderstood Mrs. Lin.

Seeing his grandmother's expression, Nie Xiuqi continued his efforts and said:

"Grandmother, Brother Yu's appearance is similar to that of His Majesty's. The so-called nephew Uncle Xiao is a very normal thing. Grandma let Yan Zhuohua study with Brother Yu that day. What did she do wrong?"

Old Madam Nie was bitter. She originally thought that brother Yu was not from the blood of the Nie family, so she turned a blind eye. Who knew that it would be her own great-grandson who suffered in the end. It was God's will.

Closing her eyes dejectedly, the old lady Nie seemed to be drained of all her strength at this moment, she pursed her lips and waved at Nie Xiuqi, saying:

"Go back first, let me think about it."

Nie Xiuqi responded, but he didn't stay in Yi Yuantang. Before he left, he told Nanny Yu to take care of Mrs. Nie, and then returned to Zhuoyuxuan.

At this moment, Lin Ningmei was staying in the master bedroom, and the three dolls were sitting on the bed one by one. She was holding the embroidery shed in her hand and was making a pocket for Sister Yu.

When Nie Xiuqi walked into the master bedroom, he saw his little wife teasing the three children. There was a trace of warmth in his usually cold chest. He cleared his throat and met his little wife's smiling eyes. .

"How did you bring all three little devils into the master bedroom?"

Lin Ning rolled her eyebrows and said with a light smile:

"What? The general doesn't want to see his child? Or did he go swimming in the lake with Zhao Chong'er and forget about his wife?"

Nie Xiuqi shook his head, pinched Lin Ningmei's chin with his rough palm, and said with a smile:

"If you are a bad wife, all the women in the world will turn yellow and fish-eyed."

For Nie Xiuqi's sweet words, Lin Ningmei was very pleased, and gave Nie Xiuqi a sweet smile without hesitation.
