Chapter 22 Living Mouth (on October 1st)

Not to mention how restless the other people present were, the old lady narrowed her eyes anyway.
How many people paid attention to her words and were intrigued by her words, waiting for her generous answer, but she was as light as a willow catkin, with a gentle smile on her lips and teeth.
"You can't find it, right? Even the people sent out to investigate didn't come back. They were all assassinated by my father. You were so scared that you didn't dare to spy anymore."
Ming Jin spoke slowly, not paying attention to the restlessness around him as if he had been cut with a knife, and the old lady's frozen face.
Sure enough, mentioning her father had such a vicious reputation that even Xie's family was frightened.
"Are you proud? You dare to expose your shortcomings in front of so many people. Do you want to tell others that your father still cares about you, so you can do whatever you want? To threaten me? When will you learn to use one trick repeatedly to ask for help?
It’s so cheap, it’s so incompetent, it’s so ridiculous, it’s not as good as your ignorance and rampage back then.”
The old lady's words were sharp, just like the sharp light in her eyes.
"If there is a bad relationship between me and my grandmother, my grandmother has always been most afraid of involving my father, so there is no need to keep using him to speculate on me at this time, unless you yourself care most about his attitude."
The old lady changed her face slightly, and Mingdai thought to herself that this kind of speculation on one's character was similar to the care she put into her skin and makeup in order to win over her opponent.
The more you care, the more you expose your shortcomings and the more you fall behind.
But Xie Mingjin just acted like he didn't care. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least he was higher than you in posture, which made you sick.
"When I mentioned the incident just now, I just wanted to ask my grandmother - since she didn't know my biggest excuse and couldn't kill her with one blow, why did I resort to such unscrupulous methods today? I have thought about it for you. If you succeed, the most you can do is let me
I have once again lost the prestige of my eldest daughter, but such prestige is indispensable in my current situation, and I won’t lose my life, so why bother. In comparison, I appreciate you even more for sending your grandma to go all the way to give me gifts.
This method is tonic."
"It's clean and aboveboard, it sounds nice to say, and there's no clue about it."
Ming Jin's words were very candid and did not sound sarcastic, because she really admired this style of fighting.
Mingdai remembered in a daze that when she was a child, young ladies in aristocratic families had to be careful if they were competing for favor, either slandering or suppressing them. They had to cultivate their abilities, temperament, reactions, and endurance from a young age, and hone their talents in this kind of evil.
However, she always understood that truly outstanding and powerful talents were brought up by orthodox education - such as Xie Mingjin.
The pattern of vision determines the level of advancement.
Therefore, in those fights for favor when she was a child, whenever she fought or was targeted, she would verbally fight back and win on the spot, but she would not take it too seriously and would not bear any grudge or revenge.
The attitude towards these sisters and brothers is the same.
But they separated later. Once people grow up, they change a lot. Mingdai never understood what kind of person the other person would become.
When they met again this time, she vaguely caught the tip of the iceberg - Xie Mingjin was still the same as when he was a child, disdainful of playing tricks with others.
If you want to play, just play big?
Ming Dai inexplicably guessed and expected.
————————
The house was bright and airy, and the wisp of wind blew her hair, and the sleeves of her robe moved slightly. Amidst the silence and suffocation of others, the old lady who was the only one to talk to Ming Jin looked more and more gloomy, but she smiled, "Sharp teeth, sharp mouth, stubborn
If it doesn't work, I don't have to waste time with you talking nonsense, someone will come and give you a penalty."
As soon as she said this, Xie Mingyue panicked and couldn't help but say, "Grandma."
Mrs. Lin knew very well how powerful those nanny's boards were. Just a few boards were used, and the delicate girl Jin's hands were in great pain. She saw two strong nuns who had already prepared them from nowhere.
On the board, thinking of her husband's instructions, she couldn't help but grit her teeth and softly said: "Mother..."
This sound was suppressed by Ming Jin's words.
"My grandmother doesn't know anything about me, but I know why my grandmother was sent back to the county by my father five years ago."
The two nuns who were charging towards me were stunned and stopped in their tracks.
Under the eyes of everyone, the astonished old lady slammed the table and shouted angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
This rage frightened everyone, and the Dong family was startled. Dong Yushuang, who was held by the old lady in one hand, suddenly felt pain. After taking a breath, he looked up and saw only a ferocious face.
The old lady was indeed very angry, and this anger also had a kind of panic.
"What else are you looking at! I'm afraid this evil creature has been locked up in Zhuangzi for too long. She has lost her mind and been haunted by evil spirits. She is so crazy. Let me capture her and send her to the woodshed..."
Before the old lady finished giving her stern instructions, the nuns reacted and were about to rush over and hold Ming Jin down.
But with Mingjin's indifferent look, these nuns were frightened and did not dare to move.
Because they found that Ming Jin looked too much like the same person at this moment.
As majestic as a lord.
They didn't dare to move, and Ming Jin didn't move either. He just lowered his head and lowered his eyes, gently touching the edges of the hanging soft gauze sleeves with his fingers. There were not many luxurious embroidery patterns, and what his fingers touched was just gauze.
Simply keep the cyan color and remove the carving and dyeing.
"Five years ago, in March of Yangchun, after the case of Zhang Chun, the governor of Dongyang County, there was an official report to impeach my father. The content of the play was that his mother was extravagant, accepted Buddhist scriptures as birthday gifts from Zhang Chuncheng, and used his father's power to interfere in the administration of the household department.
Judiciary, to cover up the stain on his political performance, promoted Zhang Chuncheng to the state capital, and the emperor suppressed the impeachment. However, when the court asked his father, his father participated in the investigation and asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to internally investigate him.
Master Mingde, the eminent monk of the temple, learned from a businessman who came into the temple to offer incense that the Buddhist scriptures he offered were in the hands of his grandmother. He was shocked. He checked the pagoda and found out that the Buddhist scriptures had been replaced with false scriptures. It was someone in the temple who was in harmony with Zhang Chun, and he was furious.
He wanted to report to the imperial court, but was assassinated on the way. At this time, the merchant's family was also silenced."
"When the news came back to the capital, the government and the public were shocked. The inspector general of the inner province went to Dongyang County to conduct a thorough investigation, but found no evidence and all evidence was cleaned up."
"Later, Zhang Chuncheng was arrested and confessed to the crime he had committed. He also admitted to the crime of assassinating Master Mingde and the businessman's family. He then drank poison and hanged himself in prison that night."
"At this point, my father's introspection order was passed, all the accusations were dropped, and my grandmother was sent back to Wuling County a few days later."
"The game in the court and the methods used in the game are probably unknown to ordinary people."
Just like a story, none of the stories in the book are as emotional as the storyteller. She tells it calmly and without emotion, which makes people fascinated and frightened. She is the only one who is harder and colder than the rocks. After she finishes speaking,
The storyteller didn't have time to digest it, but he gave one of the protagonists, the old lady with a cold look on her face, a meaningful look.
The old lady, stung by this look and flustered, was about to repeatedly order all the nuns to cover her mouth.
"It seems that no one knew that the merchant family had a lot of people back then."
Ming Jin responded to the old lady with these words.
Old lady: "...."
"No one knows whether this life is in the hands of my father, my father's political opponents, or... in my hands."
Ming Jin looked at the old lady with a smile.
The soft knife penetrated deeply, and the old lady's cheek twitched and her palms trembled, but she still forced out a sentence, "You evildoer, you are really evil. Are you going to destroy the Xie family? You..."
At this time, it is not unreasonable for her to equate her fate with that of the Xie family.
In fact, she could have simply denied it.
But if Ming Jin really has a living mouth, denying it is meaningless. The old lady can't control her way at all, and is even more afraid that she will break the pot, so she will do everything in order to get revenge.
They have not fought each other once or twice. The old lady still understands Ming Jin to some extent - if she was not sure, the other party would not be so quarrelsome today.
"Yes, why bother to bring up things that have already been suppressed? You feel that you are also innocent. You are just worshiping the Buddha and just want to get a Buddhist scripture. How could you be so unlucky? How innocent can you be involved in such a disaster?
"
He was willing to respond to her words, but he didn't follow her heart. Every word was soft and every word was heart-breaking.
The old lady's face turned even more ugly, her body was trembling, and she didn't say anything for a while. Dong Yushuang beside her seemed unable to bear it, and couldn't help asking Ming Jin: "Sister Jin, my grandmother is also innocent. You are also a junior, and what the hell?"
We are all from the Xie family, how can we be like this, like this..."
Xie Mingjin looked at her with a tolerant and gentle look, "What would you do if something like this happened to your clan?"
Dong Yushuang was suffocated for a moment, but he quickly calmed down and said honestly and honestly: "My boss knows the law and abides by it, restrains himself and returns to etiquette, there is no way..."
"When my grandmother was in the county, her power was limited and she had no right to coordinate the power of my Xie family. If she wants to do something, do you think whose path she will take is the most convenient?"
The sincere, kind and knowledgeable cousin seemed to be frightened, and the host family members were also confused.
Chapter completed!
