The Duke of Zhenguo pursed his lips for a few times, his expression changed, and he finally couldn't help asking:

"If I want you to come back home, what are the conditions?"

Ning Weizhou's eyes became colder. After a moment, just when everyone thought he would force his way out, Ning Weizhou spoke:

"You broke his hands and feet and locked him up in the ancestral hall, not allowing him to eat, drink, or sleep, and making him confess in front of my mother's tablet every day until he died!"

The direction Ning Weizhou was looking at was Ning Nanshun!

Ning Nanshun's eyes widened, and the first thing he said was: "Beast!"

The Duke of Zhenguo kicked him to the ground and asked, "Is that all?"

Ning Nanshun's hairs on his back stood up instantly!

He couldn't believe that his son wanted to kill him and his father actually agreed!

Ning Weizhou turned his gaze and looked at Madam Ning Er.

Madam Ning was horrified and waved her hands vigorously: "It's none of my business. I didn't do anything. I am willing to guard my mother's tomb. Let me go. I don't want to die!"

"I don't want your life!" Ning Weizhou paused and said, "Send her back to where she came from!"

"No, I won't go back!" Madam Ning II yelled frantically, "How can you be so vicious? I am your stepmother after all, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"If there really is retribution in this world, how could you still be so carefree until now?"

Ning Weizhou finished speaking and looked at the Duke of Zhenguo with cold eyes.

The Duke of Zhenguo did not hesitate at all: "That's easy, I'll tie her up and send her away immediately."

"Husband, save me!" Madam Ning II rushed to Ning Nanshun: "Husband, save me, I won't go back! How can I go back? I would rather die than go back!"

Ning Bei'an crossed his arms, looked left and right, not knowing who to persuade, and could only repeat himself:

"We are all family, why make such a fuss? We can just take a step back..."

Madam Ning stood aside with her head lowered, holding her injured arm, and did not say a word from beginning to end.

"What are you doing? Go away! Don't bully my mother!" Ning Ziqing, who rarely appeared at funerals, stumbled into the ancestral hall and waved his hands to drive away the palace soldiers who were about to tie up Madam Ning Er.

"Ning Weizhou, don't think you can be tyrannical just because you are a great general! If you want to send my mother away, I will file a complaint with the emperor! I will go to the streets and kowtow as I take every step to seek justice!"

Veins throbbed on Ning Ziqing's pretty forehead. She had never suffered such an injustice in her life.

She was obviously the most favored girl in the family, but it seemed as if overnight, the second wife became a rat crossing the street, and even the servants dared to give her the cold shoulder!

"Grandfather, what terrible mistakes did father and mother make that you had to listen to outsiders and beat them to death? Isn't father your biological son? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. How could you be so cruel?"

Madam Ning Er hugged Ning Ziqing, and the mother and daughter cried bitterly.

The Duke of Zhenguo used to dote on Ning Ziqing because Ning Ziqing's temperament was somewhat similar to his when he was young.

Outspoken, lively, unyielding, and daring to challenge,

The men in the family are either idiots or useless, which makes Ning Ziqing look particularly lively and energetic.

But challenging outsiders is different from challenging yourself, so the Duke of Zhenguo looked fierce and said, "Drag her back to the room!"

Ning Ziqing is used to being stubborn, so how could he be willing to follow me obediently?

The palace soldiers did not dare to use force because she was a distinguished lady in the palace. They dragged their feet and somehow, Ning Ziqing rushed to Gu Feiwan.

"It's all your fault, you evil woman. Ever since you married Ning Weizhou, we have never had a peaceful life in the Zhenguo Mansion!"

"You are just a demon. Not only did you bring disaster to Marquis Weiwu, you also brought disaster to our family. My grandmother was killed by you. Why don't you just die?"

"Ning Weizhou, you are also blind. You are willing to marry this bitch. You have brought shame to the Zhenguo Mansion!"

Ning Ziqing pushed Gu Feiwan on the shoulder with his fangs and claws bared. Gu Feiwan lost his balance and stumbled back, startling An Ran at the door and shouting, "Mother!"

Qinglin dropped the basin of water, flew over, and finally managed to hold Gu Feiwan in his arms.

Gu Feiwan was still in shock, patting his chest and panting as he asked, "It was your parents who did something wrong, why do you blame me?"

"What did my parents do wrong? They just asked a few questions about the cause of my grandmother's death. Is this such a huge sin?"

"You can lock me up today, but you'd better lock me up for life. Otherwise, one day I will seek justice for my parents!" Ning Ziqing stiffened his neck, looking extremely resolute.

She is a junior, no matter how domineering she is, the grudges of the previous generation cannot involve her.

The Duke of Zhenguo could break his son's legs and keep him in the ancestral hall for life.

You can send your daughter-in-law away and tell others that she died suddenly of a serious illness.

But this little granddaughter really can't be dealt with harshly.

It is definitely not possible to lock her up for life. Ning Ziqing must get married. Otherwise, the speculations and rumors outside will make the other girls and wives in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion lose face.

"What other big mistakes did my parents make? If you can't tell me, I will make a fuss for the rest of my life. I will make the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion restless for the rest of his life!"

Seeing that the Duke of Zhenguo was silent with a sullen face, Ning Ziqing thought he had caught him in a guilty conscience and became even more unforgiving:

"Grandfather, although Ning Weizhou is promising, you can't kill my parents just to make him recognize his ancestral roots! If he doesn't like my parents, we can just live separately!"

The Duke of Zhenguo's face darkened. No one had ever dared to mention the issue of dividing the family in front of him.

Ning Nanshun was so frightened that he wanted to cover his daughter's mouth, but Madam Ning raised her eyebrows, took two steps on her knees, and pulled the hem of the Duke of Zhenguo's clothes and begged:

"Father, we are willing to leave the house and live elsewhere. If anyone asks us, we will just say that we made a mistake and will never say another word! Father, please forgive us for the fact that I have taken care of mother. In the future, Nan Shun and I will live a peaceful life with plain porridge and white rice. If there is any surplus food, we will also think of honoring you!"

Although Ning Nanshun couldn't figure it out, since his wife said so, there must be a reason for her, so he crawled over to ask for advice:

"Father, I am your biological son. Please forgive me and let me go. I will definitely fight for my reputation and come back to win your respect!"

The couple begged repeatedly, but the Duke of Zhenguo said nothing, his face as dark as water.

It was Madam Ning who reacted first. She turned around and kowtowed three times to Ning Weizhou:

"It's all my fault. I was wrong. I kowtow to my sister to make amends. From now on, I will burn incense and kowtow to her every day. I only ask the general to show mercy and forgive us!"

"Yan'er!" Ning Nanshun felt distressed again, but before he could say anything caring, Madam Ning pulled him over:

"Hurry up and kowtow to your sister and tell her that it is all our fault. We will sincerely repent and pray for your sister and the general every day!"

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Ning Ziqing said anxiously, "Why are you admitting your mistake? What did you do wrong? It was all because of Ning Weizhou..."

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap landed on Ning Ziqing's face!
