I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

The Sixth Prince stood straight, looking down at Duke Dingguo, "Duke, do you know why you have to suffer this punishment today?"

Duke Dingguo's expression changed. Yes, my mother has never had any contact with the Ning Mansion. Why did she confront the Ning brothers and sisters yesterday?

"It just so happens that the Duke has been suspended from his duties. He will have plenty of free time in the future. I believe that the Duke will be able to get to the bottom of this matter!"

"Farewell, Sixth Prince!" Duke Dingguo stood there thinking for a long time, then flicked his sleeves and went back home. If he found out that today's disaster was caused by someone in the mansion, humph!

In the Princess's Mansion, Zheng Wangyan locked himself in the room. After he dealt with Lu De and returned home, it was too late when he learned that Ning Zhiyi was being bullied by the Imperial Concubine. After learning that his mother went to the palace to rescue people, he felt relieved, but he still felt sad in his heart.

He was not around when his benefactor needed help, so when he learned about what the old lady of Duke Dingguo had done, he added fuel to the fire. The situation in which hundreds of officials in the court joined forces to criticize one person today was caused by Zheng Wangyan and Ning Yuanze.

The matter was far from over. More than a dozen military generals spontaneously brought their personal guards to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion and lined up in a row. One of them recounted General Ning's achievements on the battlefield, while another scolded those who looked down on General Ning for being blind.

Several people cursed for two hours, and the door of Duke Dingguo's Mansion was tightly closed. There was no response. The mighty general thought it was enough, and laughed:

"Haha, I haven't had such a good time cursing for a long time. I'll treat you guys, let's go have a couple of drinks!"

The group came and went in a hurry, making the old lady of Duke Dingguo so angry that she rolled her eyes and even took heart-saving pills.

Ning Zhiyi knew nothing about all this, as she was still asleep at this time. After waking up, Tanchun told Ning Zhiyi about this incident as a joke, "Miss, everyone outside is clapping and cheering now."

"This is called the cycle of justice, retribution will come, but I am a little curious about the death of the former Duke's wife Shen. Based on my many years of experience, there must be something fishy about this matter. I will arrange someone to find out the news."

Ning Zhiyi sat up straight and let several maids wash her.

"Miss, my brother is a good at getting information. Why don't we let him do it?" Zhixia, the youngest maid, suggested carefully with her eyes blinking.

"Well, let him go."

"I obey your command," Zhixia put down her clothes and ran away.

Tanchun took the clothes and helped Ning Zhiyi put them on. She asked, "Miss, tomorrow is the banquet hosted by the eldest princess. Do you want to try on the clothes and jewelry for tomorrow?"

"Ok."

Ning Zhiyi agreed with Tanchun's suggestion since she had nothing to do anyway. The day passed very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the second day. One luxuriously decorated carriage after another was parked in the alley outside the princess's mansion.

When Ning Zhiyi arrived, there was no place to park the carriage. After the steward of the princess's mansion saw the Ning Mansion's carriage, he immediately trotted forward and arranged a place to park the carriage.

"Zhiyi, you're here." Zheng Wangyan hurriedly came to pick up Ning Zhiyi and bring him into the mansion in person.

"Today is your lucky day, I must not be absent. This is the gift I prepared for you."

Zheng Wangyan's hand was one step faster than the steward's. He took the box before the steward and pointed:

"Thank you. Let's go to the mansion first. Mother has mentioned you several times. She said that she has just got some tribute fabrics from Jiangnan. She thinks they are more suitable for you. She wants to measure your size and make clothes for you."

No girl can resist the temptation of beautiful clothes, and Ning Zhiyi is no exception. She walked into the mansion with bright eyes. Most of the guests had arrived, and some were on the way because the mansion was far away.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but after Ning Zhiyi approached, the voices of the ladies and young ladies became much quieter.

At this time, Ning Zhiyi didn't know that she had become famous again in the battle yesterday. Now no one dared to look down on her or the Ning family.

The eldest princess was surrounded by a group of ladies. Ning Zhiyi didn't want to go forward and listen to the ladies' insincere compliments, so she greeted the eldest princess and hurriedly retreated. Xiong and the second prince's wife had not arrived yet, so she found a place to sit down. After a while, Zheng Wangyan was also called away, leaving Ning Zhiyi alone.

[System, this is a bit boring, is there anything new? ]

Everyone was shocked and came.

System: [Of course it is. This melon is related to the prince. It is very interesting.]

Some people glanced around stealthily, and were relieved when they didn't see the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. These nobles would arrive later, which was just right, giving them enough time to enjoy the view.

[Anything related to the prince's gossip? Tell me about it.] Ning Zhiyi had forgotten what gossips the prince had, and she didn't remember eating much of the prince's gossip.

System: [Host, have you seen the plump lady sitting next to the red coral tree? ]

[I saw a lady who looked very kind. I felt that she must be soft and fragrant.]

The wife of the Minister of Works looked around. There were many rare trees in the entire banquet hall, but the only red coral tree was the one next to her. Could it be that he was talking about her?

The system continued: [Don’t be fooled by her kind face. She was very cruel last night. She was not gentle at all to the Minister of Industry! ]

Wife of the Minister of Works, Mrs. Ji: ???

No!

She didn't!

Don't talk nonsense!!!

The eyes of others looking at the Minister of Works and Ji became very subtle. Last night, he was so cruel and unkind to the Minister of Works. Oh my God, was it what they imagined?

Ji had a determined look on his face, trying to make everyone believe him with his sincere eyes.

A lady beside her tugged at her sleeve and whispered:

"Come on, even if you are anxious, you can't treat your husband roughly."

"No, I didn't. He's a grown man, how can a weak woman like me shake him? Don't be ridiculous. This is illogical. You must believe me."

Ji grabbed the lady's hand and tried to influence her with her sincere eyes.

Who would have thought that the lady would pull back her hand and point at the Minister of Works and say:

"Don't be ridiculous, can he resist?"

Following the direction of the lady's finger, I saw a thin and weak adult surrounded by a group of people, like a lamb caught in a pack of wolves.

Ji:......

Glancing down at her slightly plump body, and then at her skinny husband, Ji silently swallowed back tears.

Woo woo, even jumping into the Yellow River can’t wash it clean.

Ning Zhiyi: [System, please tell me in detail, what exactly is going on? ]

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who was talking about the mystery shut up, and the answer was about to be revealed.

Ji was very excited. Great! She would finally be able to clear herself of the grievances!

I am obviously a kind and gentle person, so I am not so impatient as to treat my husband harshly!

Clear your name quickly!
