NFBE Chapter 902 Follow-up
Chapter 902 Follow-up
Today, the Lin family welcomed an unprecedented bustle, and the door that had been closed for seven days slowly opened to welcome guests in.
It was also the first time that little Yining appeared in front of those ladies. She received countless beautiful compliments and greeting gifts. She went to entertain the little sisters in a happy mood. Behind her, she could hear the ladies praising her fellow villagers.
She looked back and saw her grandmother sitting at the top, looking at her parents with a little disdain as they raised their worthless sincere smiles and pulled Pei Yi to respond one by one.
Pei Yi: →_→, another day of being a tool.
"Sister Princess, come here quickly!"
Xiao Yining walked around the screen and was pulled forward by the impatient Liu Zhenying to sit on the chair.
Through the crack in the screen, she glanced at the bustling hall and whispered a big news: "Sister Princess, something happened to Sister Cui's family. His Majesty has issued an order prohibiting the Cui family from practicing medicine for generations. He has also confiscated all medical belongings from the family. Do you know what happened to Sister Cui's family?"
Xiao Yining: ⊙▽⊙, what?
The little kid's face immediately showed a sense of bewilderment at the delayed news, and he asked blankly, "Why doesn't my uncle allow Sister Cui to practice medicine?"
Liu Zhenying: ...
A soft laugh echoed in their ears, and Jin Xingman reminded them, "Sister Liu, we've all been confined to our homes these past few days, and we've heard very little news. How could the princess know more than us?"
Xiao Yining nodded quickly and agreed, "Sister Liu, I only know that my cousin saved you. I don't know anything else."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhenying said "Oh" with regret and slowly sat back in her seat.
However, the little kid's words also gave them something to talk about.
She glanced into the hall again and whispered, "I'm afraid Jiaojiao's family will be punished by His Majesty this time. Fortunately, Uncle Pei loves Jiaojiao and used his merit in saving us to plead with His Majesty, thus saving her."
"I heard from my mother that after Madam Chen learned that General Chen was planning a rebellion, she divorced him and settled down in a farm outside of Yanjing. She was afraid that Jiaojiao would worry if she knew, so she never mentioned it in her letters."
Jin Xingman replied nonchalantly, "Sister Liu, didn't you tell Sister Chen that your father wanted to impeach her family? My father said that your father led the entire Censorate in submitting memorials, and he was about to bring down the Dragon Case."
Liu Zhenying: ...
The little girl smiled awkwardly and lowered her head dejectedly.
Shi Wanwan quickly tried to smooth things over: "Manman, don't say anything. Now that Jiaojiao sees Sister Liu, I'm afraid she will treat her as an enemy."
"You just like to be a good person!" Jin Xingman sneered and finally shut her mouth.
Little Yining blinked her confused eyes, which moved around the faces of the three little sisters, and finally fell on the silent Xu Niannian.
The other party noticed her gaze, grinned, and said: "County, county, county, county...Princess..."
Everyone:......
Shi Wanwan quickly helped her and said, "Sister Princess, Nian Nian wants you to thank Uncle Pei on her behalf!"
Xu Niannian's eyebrows curved, and she smiled innocently, "Yes!"
Xiao Yining: (￣_￣|||), this sister’s stuttering cannot be cured!
The other two little sisters couldn't help but burst out laughing when they saw this. They looked at each other and asked the little kid to help them convey the message. They also took out the thank-you gifts they had carefully prepared.
The subtle atmosphere behind the screen dissipated and returned to its former harmony.
Just at this moment, a lady's hearty and indignant voice was heard in the hall.
"Princess Jiahe, you don't know that if Master Pei hadn't disguised himself as the thief's son and lurked by his side, I'm afraid I would never have returned, just like the noble lady who disappeared more than twenty years ago, perishing in death."
Hearing this, the five little ones fell silent as if they had telepathy, quietly poked their heads out from behind the screen and looked into the hall.
Xiao Yining glanced at the lady who spoke, and saw that her eyes were full of admiration and indescribable emotions as she looked at her fellow villager.
She let out a small exclamation inwardly, and looked around the hall again, only to find that all the men who came here today had similar expressions.
At this time, another lady, Madam B, sighed and continued, "Indeed, seven days ago, the Ministry of Justice went to search the Marquis Xuanping's mansion and discovered the remains of countless women beneath his plum grove. The Minister of Justice recognized the jade pendant on one of the corpses as belonging to his eldest sister who had disappeared that year. It was also a birthday gift he had given her."
"Then he ordered the family members of the missing women to come and identify the bodies. Without exception, they all recognized the belongings."
As he spoke, the voices calling for an attack on Marquis Xuanping were heard in the hall.
Wang and Lin stood behind Li Anhe, their eyes flashing slightly, and they looked at each other subconsciously.
Wang Cheng: (?_? ), in the end, you are just making wedding dresses for the old man!
Lin Yuzan: ╰(艹皿艹 ), humph, he had long expected that this treacherous old man would do this!
After an unknown amount of time, these ladies finally calmed down a bit and got back to the topic.
Madam C choked up and said, "This abominable Marquis Xuanping actually tried to use his old tricks again and kidnap our daughter. He is completely devoid of conscience and worse than an animal! And his sister Song Lanyin, also known as Madam Leng, is not a good person either. When she heard that her eldest brother was defeated, she was so scared that she went crazy and stabbed her son who had just returned from the battle. When the officers and soldiers came to find her because of Marquis Xuanping, she actually said..."
At this point, her eyes fell on Lin Yuzan, "Miss Lian's disappearance was orchestrated by her and Lian Zhiyou, and she also said..."
Before he could finish his words, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded in the hall.
The five little ones standing behind the screen eating melons appeared in front of everyone.
The little kid glanced speechlessly at the "culprit," and saw her smile awkwardly, "I was just joking with the princess's sister!"
Xiao Yining:..., Liu Zhenying, doesn’t your conscience hurt?
