An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

Someone in the room seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Nie Guang was relieved from his tense mood. Even though he was still very confused, he quickly responded, "Yes." As he spoke, he looked at Grandpa Nie, "That day Xuanwen said he liked it, and I said I would give it to him. Who knew he would refuse to take it, and insisted that he only wanted the same one as mine."

Although the cooperation was very good, the change of facial expression just now, which was like singing a variety of operas, was clearly seen by Master Nie.

However, he didn't say anything.

Nie Ce continued, "Grandfather, Sang and I usually play in the room and like to exchange jewelry. She mistook this item for mine, so she put it on. This caused Fourth Aunt to misunderstand."

Hearing this, Grandpa Nie leaned back, not rushing to make a conclusion. He saw Zhang sneer at him, "I didn't expect you to be so magnanimous that you would rather make up such a lie to protect her. But if you do this, she may not have you in her heart."

Nie Taigong then turned his attention to the two of them. Nie Ce also smiled softly, "Some things, I just don't hesitate to make it even more ugly."

What is this saying? Of course Zhang understood.

Do you think that just because Nie Guang has a relationship with her, he has no relationship with Sang Ling?

"Xuanwen." She narrowed her eyes meaningfully, "How do you know that the feelings of a heartless person can also be placed on several people at the same time."

The afterglow in front of the hall was blocked by the night, and in the end, Yang Xian had to come and add the lamp oil himself, but he was very careful and tiptoeed throughout the process, trying to avoid appearing in the sight of any of the owners. Unfortunately, only Nie Taigong in the room glanced at him, so how could the others have the leisure to care about these things?

"This is just nonsense!" Nie Guang's face flushed. "Fourth aunt, I don't know how I have offended you that you have to fabricate these words to frame me and my sister-in-law."

After watching for a while, he had guessed most of it - regardless of whether Nie Ce noticed it or not, judging from the current situation, this kid might also hide it from the old man. As long as he didn't make a scene in front of the grandfather, everything would be easy to talk about later. Nie Guang also knelt closer, "Grandfather, my brother's wife and I don't even talk a few words on weekdays. It's really ridiculous to hear such a rumor."

Zhang was still panicking, but after hearing this, she was also reminded. "And the cat." The dispute between the two was caused by the cat, which was also solid evidence. Her voice became more excited, "Grandpa, that beast has never been close to strangers. If A Guang has no contact with Sang, bring the cat here and try it out!"

Sang Ling was still leisurely enjoying the drama when he unexpectedly met the gaze from the master's seat and was stunned.

Nie Da was looking at her.

As one of the people who were "wronged", it seems that she should say something.

"My grandson's wife has also seen that raccoon."

Zhang raised her head when she heard this.

"I originally had a cat at my mother's house, so I've always liked these. I've played with them a few times when I saw one in the back garden of Jingsi Residence."

Nie Guang followed closely behind, "Grandfather, I have always let the cat roam freely. After all, it is in the mansion and can't run far. It is the servants who take it around the mansion to play." After saying this, he pretended to be in deep thought and added, "There is a misunderstanding here. It is really Fourth Aunt who misunderstood."

If there really was a misunderstanding, he would have kicked Zhang down right after hearing the first sentence. This was unlike Guang's usual temper. Besides, didn't Xuanwen also beat Sang two days ago? It might be because of this matter. Nie Da actually had the answer in his mind, but he had to wait until they had a few more rounds.

It’s hard to say who is right or wrong, but Zhang Shi——

Then he threw a look at Yang Xian.

"Did I misunderstand?" Zhang was about to explain, but Yang Xian had already stepped forward and made a "please" gesture in front of Zhang.

She looked back in confusion, only to hear Grandpa Nie clear his throat and say, "You can't tell right from wrong. Go to the kitchen in the backyard for a few days to reflect on yourself."

"Grandpa!" Zhang was stunned.

Sang Ling lowered her eyebrows and eyes, but she didn't expect that Master Nie would solve the case so quickly. She glanced at Nie Ce beside her and saw that he turned his head slightly and was also looking at her. His face was cold, and it was possible that when he left later, there would be a storm.

But she had no time to care about this man. The voice in her heart almost immediately shouted, "Not enough, not enough, Zhang can't be taken away immediately."

After thinking about it, he glanced at Nie Guang, who was still in shock, and then turned to look at Zhang. She seemed to be brainstorming, wanting to say something more in front of Master Nie.

"Fourth Auntie—" Then she forced a smug smile, "Goodbye."

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt her sleeves being pulled. She looked back and found that it was Nie Ce. Her brows were knitted tightly, obviously not understanding what she meant by saying such a frivolous thing at this time. Nie Guangxian was also not expecting this. He rolled his eyes and dared only glance at her with his peripheral vision. Zhang was slightly stunned, and then she uttered a clear sneer, "Nie Guang, seeing me like this today, are you also very proud in your heart?"

She frowned and smiled bitterly, "Even if we are not husband and wife in name, we have been husband and wife for many years. How could you, how could you be so cruel?" She stood up from her kneeling position and pointed at Sang Ling, "It's just a temporary novelty, coveting her beauty, and you forced me to this. I have been following you wholeheartedly for all these years in vain -"

Nie Guang closed his eyes and bent over, and he could no longer maintain the kneeling posture.

The situation that was thought to be salvageable collapsed in an instant.

"We have done so many bad things for you, and even our brothers have killed each other..." Zhang's crying voice came. Nie Da frowned and finally helped himself to the chair and sat up straight.

The candlelight on the table by the wall flickered violently, which was caused by the wind created by the crimson dress that brushed against the edge of the long table. Nie Guang covered Zhang's mouth and without caring about anyone else, he dragged Zhang out.

Yang Xian followed the leader with his eyes, looking at the main seat in fear. In fact, the old man's expression was quite calm just now, he was just a little irritated. After all, there were a lot of small troubles in the family since the previous generation. The old man was used to the ups and downs. As long as his family members did not move, there were many ways to solve the problem.

But now his face was gloomy and scary.

His whole body trembled, and he wanted to go forward and say a few words, but he heard a few words shouted intermittently by the fourth lady at the door.

"Poisoning - murdering my uncle -"

Yang Xian paused in the hall and had no choice but to kneel down with a thud.

Nie Da's expression was of course solemn, and he did not speak for a long time. Nie Ce and his wife who stayed in the room did not dare to move either.

Sang Ling knew this was going to happen, but she couldn't control her shock at this moment. What was Zhang talking about when she said "murdering uncle"? Nie Guang's uncle, the third uncle or the fourth uncle? Or Nie Ce's dead father? When Nie Bozhe died, Nie Guang should have been quite young. She paused in her thoughts, and saw Nie Taigong looking up at her. His eyes were like a sharp sword, as if they were going to pierce her flesh.

However, just as he avoided his gaze, Nie Ce grabbed his hand.

"Grandfather, if there is nothing else, my grandson and Sang will take their leave."

Nie Da pursed his lips, just looked at Sang Ling for a while, and nodded silently.

With this last glance, Sang Ling already understood everything - he definitely guessed everything.
