Chapter 609: Rub It to Show Your Power
"Miss, you haven't been back for a long time, but you should have heard some news, right? Our master ordered the city to be sealed off in order to catch the treasonous spy. I heard that he used to be one of General Peng's men, but now he has stolen the military plane. Now the master is searching vigorously.
Shen Ningning looked at Mo Lingwei out of the corner of her eye. When she heard General Peng's name, the folding fan in her hand paused slightly, and then closed it calmly, with no unnecessary expression on her face.
"General Peng's people? How could it be possible? I heard that the people around General Peng are all descendants of three generations of good generals, and they are all loyal."
"Who knows? Miss, you know people but don't know their hearts. You are a woman. There are certain things that I am not as clear-minded about as I am. Besides, General Peng may not have clean hands and feet."
When the wet nurse finished speaking, a look of disdain appeared on her face, but when she turned her head, she saw two people in the carriage looking at her with dark eyes.
Only then did she realize that she had said too much, so she quickly apologized and said, "It looks like we are almost here. Miss and uncle must have worked hard on the journey. We will have a good rest when we get to the house later. I am looking forward to your coming back soon." Woolen cloth."
Shen Ningning responded casually, and secretly looked at each other at Mo Lingwei, their moods changing over and over again.
Hearing what the wet nurse meant, General Peng was most likely accused of unwarranted charges by Prefect Ren and then imprisoned.
So, the city was closed to seize power, and the so-called spies were probably an excuse made up by Prefect Ren?
Shen Ningning felt that she really came to the right place this time. If she didn't investigate in depth, how would she know what happened inside.
At the same time, in the Ren Mansion, several ladies from the Ren family gathered together and chatted cordially.
It turned out that the second young lady of the Ren family also returned home with her husband today. She was married to the only son of a local wealthy gentry. Pearl jewelry was sent to the mansion in batches and boxes, making Mrs. Ren smile from ear to ear.
Miss Ren San and Ren Si had not yet grown hair and were not married yet. Their eyes lit up when they saw so many jewelry and clothes.
They stroked the fine silk, their eyes filled with envy.
"Sister, these things cost a lot of money, right?" Ren San was curious.
Ren Er smiled and said: "Probably, it's your brother-in-law who spends the money anyway. He treats me generously, and he treats our family well. You two can pick and choose at will. If you like it, take it back."
Ren Si and Ren San fell in love with the same handkerchief.
The two started fighting over this. Ren San was no stronger than Ren Si, so he stamped his feet anxiously: "Sister, look at her!"
Ren Er took a glance. She and Ren San had been close since childhood, but they were not so close to Ren Si, the slightly younger sister.
Because in the family, Ren Si is the most beautiful among the sisters, and he is not as good at fawning over Miss Ren as Ren San.
"Okay, fourth sister, you can give it to your third sister. Look, there are other silks and satins in this box. Why keep fighting for a handkerchief?"
Ren Si was displeased and gritted his teeth: "I just like this veil!"
Unexpectedly, with Ren Er taking charge, Ren San became bolder, stretched out his hand to push Ren Si away, snatched the veil away, and hid directly behind Ren Er.
Ren Si couldn't catch her, and his teeth itched with hatred.
"You! You are really cheating."
"I'm not cheating. Didn't you hear what the eldest sister said? She asked you to give up to me."
Ren San said, stroking the snatched handkerchief. It was like silk, smooth to the touch, and the color was bright sapphire blue. She liked it very much.
Ren Er smiled and said: "Third sister has really good taste. Do you know that the material for this handkerchief comes from the capital. It is the leftover satin from the palace making clothes for the princess, and it was cut into this handkerchief."
When Ren San heard this, his eyes lit up. He put the handkerchief on his face and covered his head, no matter how much he played with it.
She continued: "Then am I just like a princess? Sister, you are so kind to me!"
Ren Si was on the side, looking at their close relationship as sisters, and his teeth itched with anger.
She clenched her fists and sneered sinisterly: "What big sister? Third sister, don't call me the wrong one. The real big sister will be back soon! Our sister, line 2, if you call the wrong one, we all have to move forward." ”
Ren Er's expression changed, and Ren San had already shouted: "Fourth sister, how do you talk? Is that person worthy of being called our eldest sister? We are just born from a mother. If you dare to turn your elbows outward, be careful." I'll tell my mother how she will punish you."
Ren Sicai was not afraid and snorted coldly: "Mother punishes me? Mother is the most reluctant to punish me! Mother said I am good-looking, and she loves me when I cry. Unlike the third sister, who often gets slapped on the hand, right? Even so. It’s useless to ask for this veil. The princess uses the leftover materials. You care about it, but I don’t care about it either!”
Ren Si turned around and left.
Ren San was so angry that he wanted to catch up and scold her.
Ren Er immediately grabbed Ren San, with a cold look in his eyes: "Forget it, let her go. I already knew that this fourth sister is not well-raised and is the white-eyed wolf of our family!"
Ren San: "Sister, she is so annoying. How can she talk like that? You are usually not at home, and your parents indulge her. See how spoiled she is."
Ren Er pursed his lips, feeling unhappy but unable to show it on his face.
Because her husband also came back today, how could she care about her sister if she pretended to be generous and virtuous?
So she tried her best to smile: "That's all, she doesn't know what's good and what's good. Let's not be as knowledgeable as her. She doesn't want these things, so just accept them."
Ren San got so many good things, his smiling eyes narrowed into slits.
"Big sister, you are so kind to me, then I won't be polite with you, I'll take it all."
She told the maid to carry it to her room, and said: "No matter what the fourth sister thinks, I will definitely stand on your side. Even if Ren Liuyue comes back, I won't call her big sister."
Ren Er smiled: "Why bother with her? I heard that she is living a bad life."
"More than that!" Ren San looked around and lowered his voice: "I heard from my mother before that she had smallpox when she was a child. She finally survived, but there were many scars on her face and body. I heard that because of this, it was difficult to get married, so she found a poor teacher to marry."
Ren Er pursed her lips: "Really? That's really pitiful."
However, there was no pity in her tone. Instead, the two sisters were waiting to see Ren Liuyue's joke.
Ren Er was really full of resentment towards Ren Liuyue. She was obviously half a year older, but according to the order of their mothers entering the house, she still had to call Ren Liuyue sister.
At this time, the maids outside the yard heard a voice--
"The eldest lady and her husband are back, go tell the master."
Ren Er stood up immediately: "Sister Yue is back, let's go see her?"
Ren San was looking at the treasures in the box and shook his head: "I'm not interested, I'm afraid she will be scared by the pockmarks on her face."
Ren Er stood up: "Then I'll go."
Ren San has always been her follower and always gets some benefits. Now, even if he doesn't want to leave, he can only stand up reluctantly: "Sister, I'll go with you, I just want to rub her prestige!"
