Chapter 269 Changqing’s Injustice
Jiang Ning was dumbfounded, "How long have you been in the hands of others?"
Ayana counted on her fingers for a long time and replied quickly: "No more, no less, exactly two winters."
Jiang Ning suddenly realized that this girl had been in the hands of Ren Yazi for two years. At that time, she was only about eight years old, not much older than when she took Zhong Mianmian in.
“Then where is your home?” She naturally held the broken hair around Ayana’s ears, her eyes were gentle and loving.
Ayana was stunned for a moment, staring at Jiang Ning. She kept staring at her, and then threw herself into her arms, "Mom! Can you be my mother?"
Jiang Ning: “??????”
Mammy Yu was a little panicked and stepped forward to pull Ayana away. "You kid doesn't know the rules. How can you hold my wife like this? Let go quickly."
"Mom, it's mom!" Ayana kept insisting. The hand holding Jiang Ning not only did not loosen, but also tightened a bit.
Jiang Ning probably guessed what Ayana meant. Seeing that Ayana didn't want to say more, he waved his hand and asked Aunt Yu to step back. He advised her in a gentle voice: "You stay at my house first, and I will tell you when you want to say something." "I, but before that you have to follow some rules, okay?"
Ayana nodded vigorously and stayed close to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning asked Aunt Yu to take her down to learn the rules, then turned to Changqing to inquire about Ayana's situation.
I thought that with such a good relationship between the two of them, Changqing would know something about Ayana, but I didn’t expect that this guy not only didn’t know everything about Ayana, but he even knew Ayana’s name only now.
Jiang Ning was dumbfounded, "Aren't you two together?"
Changqing looked around blankly, "The little one doesn't know Ayana. When she was in Renyazi's hands, Ayana would follow whoever she saw as honest. Renyazi asked us to work, and she would play there. If the little one is If she doesn't help her, the younger one will be hurt by her, so in the past six months, the younger one has been forced to do a lot of things for her. "
Jiang Ning swallowed and blinked hard, "So... your relationship with her is not good! Then why did you speak for her just now?"
Changqing lowered her head in embarrassment, "Xiao Xiao, I think she is a pitiful child. If she is sold again, I don't know if she will be able to meet someone like Xiao Xiao who is willing to help her. If she meets a bad person, no matter how powerful she is, she will not be able to help her." It’s just a child, I’m afraid it’s a bad thing.”
Jiang Ning was speechless, "You are living such a difficult life, yet you still care about a child of unknown origin! I don't know if you are kind or heartless! Tell me, what did your parents commit?"
"They didn't commit any crime." Chang Qing suddenly became excited, "Uncle, my parents were wronged. Last year, when the old lady of Dingguo Palace celebrated her birthday, she went to Yunze Winery and ordered a batch of Yunze Meng.
The order was taken by the head of the family, and the second master and the third master were responsible for making wine. The younger brother and his mother were just workers in the workshop. As a result, something went wrong with the batch of wine. Many people who dined at Dingguo Gong that day suffered from vomiting and diarrhea.
After investigation, the governor said there was something wrong with the wine, but no one poisoned it. The governor and the Dingguo government held the Dong family responsible.
The head of the family interrogated the second master and the third master. They shied away from each other and said that it had nothing to do with them. They passed the blame layer by layer. But in the end, it was my parents who were pushed out to take the blame. Everyone knew that my parents were unjust. The master of the family knew that, The second master and the third master knew it very well.
There are also the Duke of Dingguo and the governor. They must also have suspicions, but there is no evidence. The head of the family threatened the little one's parents with the little one's life and forced them to confess. As a result, the little one was sold by the head of the family as soon as they confessed. "
This is the grief and resentment that Chang Qing has been suppressing in his heart without telling anyone. When he first came into the hands of Ren Yazi, he would scream at the top of his lungs that he was wronged. Every time he cried out, he would be beaten severely by Ren Yazi. The most serious one was He was almost beaten to death, but Ayana helped him.
At that time, even if he knew that Ayana was following him to make him work, he still admitted it. Hearing this, Jiang Ning became furious and shouted, "That's unreasonable! If the governor is suspicious, why doesn't he investigate it carefully?"
Changqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It was the little one's parents who took the initiative to plead guilty. The governor even reminded them at the time, but they were worried about the little one and would rather die to protect him.
Because they took the initiative to confess, although Duke Dingguo was angry, he did not let the governor punish them severely. The governor had rebelled against them for ten years, and he didn't know what they were doing now. "
Jiang Ning was furious when he heard this.
King Xiaoyao came from outside with Chi Kang. When he saw Jiang Ning, he immediately asked in a carefree manner: "Where is my uncle? Did you stay at your house honestly yesterday?"
Jiang Ning sneered and stretched out his slender palm.
“What are you doing?” King Xiaoyao was a little confused.
Jiang Ning began to settle the accounts, "Yesterday, the two of them had a big banquet at my house. They had all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and the sea. The meal cost twenty or thirty taels no matter what. At the end of the day, it will be calculated as one hundred taels. You pay for one month first. Three thousand taels, small business, no credit."
King Xiaoyao was so angry that his hair stood on end, and the hand he pointed at Jiang Ning was trembling, and he cursed from the bottom of his heart: "Profiteer! I can give my uncle the money, but isn't Ah Yi your eldest brother? He eats yours." It's your duty, why should I pay? Even if I have to pay, I will only give you one thousand five hundred taels!"
Chi Kang looked at his master in shock, as if he was looking at someone who was taken advantage of.
Jiang Ning shook his head and denied, "That man has not recovered his memory yet, and he is the godson of the old prince. The old prince should be responsible for it. If he regains his memory and is sure to be my eldest brother, then of course I will pay for it.
Oh, right! You reminded me just now, and I almost forgot to calculate the cost of their accommodation. You see, our family doesn't have many servants, and the old prince is picky. He doesn't like the dishes made by my cook, so I have to cook them myself. Kitchen, and "
Jiang Ning took into account all the money he spent pouring Yexiang, and Zhou's ruthless appearance made King Xiaoyao stay where he was, unable to close his mouth for a long time.
When Jiang Ning finished speaking, he silently took out five thousand taels of silver notes and looked at her with a complicated expression, "Have you taken any medicine? Who provoked you again?"
Chi Kangchen was completely speechless. His master was not angry even after this. He was still worried about Uncle Guang En. Could it be that he was possessed by evil spirits?
Jiang Ning's eyes slowly fell on Chang Qing, and he said angrily: "If you have any grudges, just say it, this is Xiaoyao King, the Dong family is nothing!"
Hearing these foul words, King Xiaoyao became inexplicably nervous.
Wait for Changqing to tell the whole story about what happened to him.
Before King Xiaoyao could say anything, Old Prince Rui who had just entered the door warned him first, "How can this not be so reasonable? In broad daylight, the world is bright, so do the Dong family want to go to heaven? The old man will go to Fu Yin and talk to him!"
King Xiaoyao wanted to stop him, but found that the old man couldn't hold him back when he was angry, so he quickly chased after him with Chi Kang.
At the same time, a wave of people came to the backyard of Yunze Winery.
The shopkeeper Dong Maojie went over to receive him in person.
