Leng ruoxue nodded her head. Indeed, she should inform her master about this incident. However, she could not understand why the guards at the door did not report this to their master.
Actually, this was something that Leng ruoxue did not know. When they were locked up together, the elders had made it clear that as long as they were not allowed to escape, there was no need to report anything else. This was enough to prove that the head butler had been abandoned by the higher-ups of the ning family.
After Ning Yan, Leng ruoxue, and the others left the room where the head butler and his sister were locked up, they had specially found a guard to inform the second elder of this matter. Who knew that after the guard heard their orders, he actually had a difficult expression on his face, as if he was extremely unwilling.
“Young miss, young miss Leng, can you find someone else to do this?” The guard discussed pitifully. He was afraid that second elder would vent his anger on him if he went.
“Hey! Are you even a man! What was there to be afraid of? If I wasn’t a member of your ning family, I would’ve gone to tell that second elder. ” Grape, who was standing at the side, couldn’t take it anymore. She glared at him with her clear and bright eyes and roared with a look of disdain.
Grape, who was getting more and more hot-tempered, shouted directly. Lotus seed and the others looked at the timid guard with disdain, causing the guard to lower his head in shame. He was just short of finding a hole to hide in.
“You don’t need to be put in a difficult position. Just tell the second elder that something has happened to the head butler. Don’t say anything else. As for whether the second elder will come or not, that’s his business.” Leng ruoxue sighed softly and said helplessly.
“Yes!” After the guard heard this, although he was still a little hesitant, he did not reject it as much.
After the guard left, Leng ruoxue and Ning Yan immediately returned to the competition grounds.
However, before he could sit down, the second elder went to Leng ruoxue angrily.
“Dammit! What a good thing you’ve done!” The second elder’s face was ashen. His eyes were wide open as he glared at Leng ruoxue.
“What good thing did I do?” Leng ruoxue was a little surprised.
“You’re still playing dumb, aren’t you? You almost killed the head butler. ” The second elder was so angry that his chest was trembling and he was panting heavily.
“You mean the head butler? Second elder, I didn’t do anything to the head butler, so you can’t blame this on me. ” Leng ruoxue furrowed her brows and said impatiently.
“You dare to say it wasn’t you? You weren’t the one who drugged ning Lihua?” The second elder shouted at the top of his voice, not caring about his image.
“I was the one who drugged ning Lihua, but the aphrodisiac wasn ‘t.” Leng ruoxue was very clear why second elder had come to find her. However, she was a person who dared to admit to her actions. If she did it, she would not deny it. If she didn ‘t, then others could forget about pinning the blame on her.
“You said it wasn’t you, then who did it? Other than you, no one else has drugged her. ” The second elder said unyieldingly. He was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
“It’s her, or rather, it’s them. ” Leng ruoxue said calmly.
“You, you still dare to quibble!” Second elder was even angrier after hearing Leng ruoxue’s words.
At this time, the ning family’s master, elders, and others sitting there knew that something had happened to the head butler again. Then why couldn’t the head butler stop? I haven’t even been convicted of my own crimes, and I actually caused trouble again. It’s really troublesome! Everyone couldn’t help but think to themselves, and they looked at the second elder with a hint of disapproval in their eyes.
After all, from their point of view, the head Butler’s crime could not be exonerated. Furthermore, the master had confirmed Leng ruoxue’s position in the ning family. Hence, it was an extremely unwise decision for a head butler who was about to step down to go against Leng ruoxue. Hence, second elder had to fight this battle alone.
“I’m not quibbling, I’m just telling the truth. Second elder might not be able to accept it, but it’s the truth! I put a few drugs on ning Lihua’s body, but there was no Aphrodisiac in it. The purpose of the drug was only to make her suffer a little so that sister Yan could get back at her. I didn’t want to take her life, and those drugs all have a time limit. As long as she endured for a few days, she would naturally recover without any drugs. Unfortunately, she took an antidote. ”
“The medicine I gave her wasn’t really poison. After she took the antidote, it just happened to react with the other medicinal properties, so it became a slow-acting aphrodisiac. However, even if it’s a slow-acting aphrodisiac, the effect isn’t very strong. As long as she has enough self-control, it’s nothing. ”
“As for the head butler, I wasn’t the one who put him in the same room as ning Lihua. Even though his body isn’t as strong as ning Lihua ‘s, he shouldn’t have been unable to resist when faced with such a situation. How could he have been … This is indeed interesting. Perhaps second elder can investigate this properly.” Leng ruoxue’s beautiful eyes revealed a faint smile as she suggested.
“You, you’re clearly being unreasonable!” The second elder was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He pointed at Leng ruoxue and stuttered.
“Second elder! Miss Leng has made it very clear that this matter really has nothing to do with her, so don’t hold on to her, AI! This can only be considered an accident!” At this moment, the seated third elder opened his mouth to speak. This was also considered his way of expressing his goodwill towards Leng ruoxue. After he had finished speaking, many other elders also expressed their goodwill towards Leng ruoxue and spoke up for her.
Seeing this situation, second elder was so angry that he could not say a word. Leng ruoxue’s clear and beautiful eyes looked around at the elders who had spoken out for her and expressed her gratitude with her eyes.
“Second brother! The matter of the head butler ends here. You should quickly choose a new head butler. The clan’s miscellaneous Affairs can not be left unattended. ” The master of the ning family frowned and made his decision. He was more and more disappointed with his second son, but at the same time, he was more determined to his original idea.
“But master, the head butler hasn’t woken up yet. Didn’t you agree to give him a chance to defend himself?” The second elder lowered his head and reminded him in a low voice.
“Forefather, second elder, these are the crimes of the head butler that I’ve sent people to collect. Please take a look.” Ning Yuan found the right time to speak. He handed two thick piles of evidence to the ancestor and the second elder.
In fact, he had already planned to replace the head butler. Unfortunately, the head butler had the second elder’s support. Therefore, he did not dare to make a move on the head butler without sufficient evidence. Now was a good opportunity, so he would not let the head butler have a chance to make a comeback no matter what.
The master of the ning family skimmed through the book and finished it in a few minutes. After reading it, he suppressed his anger and said,””Don’t give him any more chances. Tomorrow, send his entire family to Biancheng. They’re not allowed to leave for life.”
No one dared to object to the words of the master of the ning family. After the second elder saw the evidence, he didn’t dare to speak up for the head butler. There was a lot of evidence. Although the things above were not very serious in his opinion, the number of mistakes made was too large. When added together, it was enough to make the people of the ning family angry.
