bastard returns

mother. "

"Yuan'er came just in time. Your elder sister Mo'er prepared a lot of rose balls, and you can eat some too." Seeing Ning Yuan, Shen immediately smiled and beckoned him to sit beside her.

Ning Yuan smiled, sat down beside Shen Shi obediently, and said to Ning Mo who was sitting aside: "Sister Mo'er is the most caring, recently my grandmother has some symptoms of thirst, and she hasn't eaten sweets for a long time. But this rose glutinous rice balls are made of fresh flowers, not only tastes sweet, but also has no harm to the body."

"The third brother said that because he was greedy." Ning Mo blinked at Ning Yuan, and put a bowl in front of him.

"Hmph, pretending to be an accent." Ning Xiang snorted softly, and spat out the half-bitten glutinous rice balls back into the bowl, "This stuff is not cooked to my liking, I think I won't be able to eat it anymore."

"Second brother, if you have a bad appetite, you need to take care of yourself." Ning Yuan looked at Ning Xiang with "concern", "It's just that there are many reasons for this bad appetite. After applying the medicine, it will naturally open up the spleen and stomach, but if you have done something wrong and made yourself feel uneasy about eating and drinking, it will be difficult to deal with."

Yan's eyelids twitched as he was eating glutinous rice balls, and suddenly he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he couldn't help but glance at Ning Yuan more, Ning Xiang immediately jumped up, pointed at Ning Yuan and said, "You kid, you are in the middle of grandma and What dirty words are you talking about in front of your father! Who has done something wrong!"

Ning Yuan ignored him, but stood up and said to Ning Ruhai: "Father, Zhou Shi caught a sneaky person outside our mansion this morning. I thought it was just an ordinary thief who wanted to be sent to the government. Unexpectedly, the little thief kept calling for injustice, after a rough interrogation, the boy felt that the matter was quite strange, the boy didn't dare to make a decision, so he brought him here directly, and asked his father to interrogate himself."

"Little thief?" Ning Ruhai frowned, "Bring him up."

Ning Yuan clapped his hands, and Zhou Shi, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately walked in with the flying squirrel tied like a rice dumpling.

The moment he saw Flying Squirrel, Ning Xiang trembled all over, but he still pretended to be calm and sat down slowly, but his face was very stiff.

"Tell me, who the hell are you? You really came to my Ning Manor to steal something out of ambition?" The bowls and plates on the table were all in the air for an instant, and as soon as this formation was displayed, the flying squirrel was also very frightened, and tremblingly said: "Master, please forgive me, the little one is not here to steal!"

Ning Yuan said: "Father, this man has already told the boy just now, he said that a young master in our house owed him money, so he came to collect the debt."

"Ridiculous!" Ning Ruhai snorted heavily, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "It's really ridiculous. How could people from my Ning Manor owe money to a scoundrel like you! Even if you want to make up an excuse, you have to make it up. Be presentable!"

"You bastard, since you said that the young master of our house owed you the money, and now the young master of our house, besides me, is only my second elder brother. I ask myself that I have never seen you before. Could it be what you mean? Did Second Brother owe you the money?" Ning Yuan finished speaking, and pointed in Ning Xiang's direction.

The flying mouse followed Ning Yuan's fingers and looked over, seeing Ning Xiang, immediately revealed an expression of "you are here", nodded at Ning Yuan, "That's right! It's him, that young master! He owes you money." I have exactly 50 taels of silver!"

"You...you are talking nonsense!" Ning Xiang stood up with a pale face, stuttering, "I have never seen you, so how can I owe you money!"

"Master, you are not so reckless if you want to renege on your debts! We are messing around on the road. Although we are not doing good things, we still have to follow the basic rules of the rivers and lakes." The guy who opened the door has always been selfish. Now that he has been arrested, Ning Xiang wants to renege on his debts. Where can he find the reason for his own suffering to be cheaper for others? Young master, you found me that day and asked me to help you with errands, 50 taels of silver as a deposit, and 50 taels of silver as a final payment. Now that the matter is clearly settled, you just refuse to pay the remaining 50 taels of silver. The cheapness of a person depends on the account of a villain, so why do you ask the villain to give it to you for nothing?"

"Who told you to do it for nothing..." Ning Xiang was anxious to distinguish for himself, but in a moment of urgency, he almost slipped his mouth and admitted it himself, and his face flushed immediately.In fact, he didn't intend to rely on the flying squirrel's money, it's just that he forgot it. The result of the dragon boat competition yesterday was really unexpected, because it was completely different from what he expected, and he was angry at Ning Yuan's " A villain succeeds", Ning Xiang completely forgot about the flying squirrel, and the hooligans like the flying squirrel are most interested in money, and they can't even wait for a day. Seeing that he didn't receive the money yesterday afternoon, Immediately unable to hold back, he wanted to block people at the gate of Ning Mansion early in the morning, but was caught by Ning Yuan.

"Father, I don't know this lunatic at all. Don't believe what he says!" Ning Xiang eagerly cupped his hands at Ning Ruhai, but Ning Ruhai's face darkened. Seeing Ning Xiang's nervous and terrified expression, He already guessed a little bit in his heart, but he was also curious about what Ning Xiang spent such a huge sum of 100 taels for Feishu to do, so he asked: "You bastard, since you said that you are under the influence of my master Ningfu If you don’t use the money to do things, what kind of things are you doing, and you don’t really get it!”

Seeing that Ning Xiang actually said that he didn't know him, Fei Shu immediately gritted his teeth and howled, "Okay, young master, you are obviously going to renege! I spent so much effort sneaking into the dock for you , broke the rudder of Dudu Cao’s dragon boat, and made your dragon boat the leader of the big competition. Now it’s good. Your family got the leader, but turned your back on what I did. How can there be such a cheap reason in the world? !"

"You, what are you talking about!" Ning Ruhai couldn't believe his ears, and everyone else in the room also had dumbfounded expressions, sometimes looking at Feishu and sometimes at Ning Xiang.

"Don't spout blood! Father, this is a frame-up! I, I have never even seen this person, how could I let him do such a thing that hurts others and benefits himself!" Ning Xiang was so nervous that his tongue was tied up, and he couldn't stop denied.

"Hmph, young master, don't you think we are people who are wandering in the rivers and lakes, don't you pay attention?" After the flying squirrel stiffened its neck, it seemed that it was not guilty just now, but sneered a few times, and said: "We are talking When buying and selling, I took advantage of your unpreparedness and quietly tore off a corner of your clothes and hid it. When I took out the evidence, young master, if you say you haven't seen me or know me, you are not slapping yourself... ..."

Fei Shu didn't finish his sentence, and he couldn't finish it, because Zhou Shi had already got Ning Yuan's order, and stepped forward to slash the back of Fei Shu's neck with a knife, Fei Shu immediately rolled his eyes and fainted to the ground.

"Father, don't blame Yuan'er for meddling. It's just that I've heard what I need to hear. If I let this guy continue, I don't know how it will tarnish the reputation of our Ning Mansion." Ning Yuan bowed his hands to Ning Ruhai?

Ning Ruhai sat there with a livid face, "Slander?" He sneered, "Is there still a need for slander? I'm afraid our Ning Manor's reputation has been almost defeated by this kid!" After saying that, he raised his hand and pointed Ning Xiang.

Ning Xiang was pointed at by Ning Ruhai, and his expression immediately became flustered. He could clearly sense that Ning Ruhai was really angry, and it was not ordinary anger, but very angry.

"Say! Did you really let this person wreck the Cao family's boat!" Ning Ruhai shouted angrily.

"I...I..." Ning Xiang knelt down with a puff, and stammered: "Father, calm down, I, I really... But I also think about our family, as long as there is a problem with the Cao family, the leader will be our family ..." The flying squirrel said it with a nose and eyes, and now, Ning Xiang also knows that he has no way to deny it. Compared with saying that he did this to frame Ning Yuan, it is better to follow the flying squirrel and say that it is for Ning He would only do this if he is the leader of the mansion, because from this point of view, Ning Mansion can take part of the credit for being the leader. Maybe Ning Ruhai will not only punish him, but also reward him.

It's a pity that Ning Xiang's wishful thinking was wrong this time.

Hearing that Ning Xiang actually did such a thing, Ning Ruhai's temper seemed to add fuel to the fire, and it took him a long time to restrain himself from hitting Ning Xiang's forehead without grabbing the bowl in front of him.

"Hey, second brother, how could you do such a foolish thing." Ning Yuan stood aside and said bitterly: "Do you think you did this for the good of our family? You are so wrong. On the contrary, once this kind of thing spreads, the leader of our mansion this time was obtained through conspiracy and tricks, and the person who will be blamed and infamous will only be the father, do you know that!"

Ning Xiang was taken aback, and couldn't believe his ears, but he wasn't too stupid. When he thought about Ning Yuan's words, he broke out in a cold sweat. Xiang made it, and those people outside spread rumors, probably saying that it was because of Ning Ruhai's instigation, relying on such indiscriminate means to get the leader, not only Ning Ruhai will become the people of Jiangzhou City Even Cao Guichun would never give up with them in Ningfu.

"Nizi!" Ning Ruhai was really anxious. If Cao Guichun found out about this, how would the governor of Jiangzhou treat him in the future? Just thinking about it made Ning Ruhai's spine tingle.

"Unfortunately, if it's just like this, it's just a matter of dragon boat competition. If our Ning family takes the initiative to admit our mistakes and give up the leader's position, the situation can be calmed down after all." Ning Yuan still seemed to have not finished speaking. , holding his heart and shaking his head regretfully, "It's a pity that the Cao family's ship has something to do with treason, because His Highness gave a one-month deadline, I'm afraid that Dudu Cao has already used all his strength to find and frame him." What about their real culprits, if they know that second brother, you have sent someone to tamper with their boat, what do you think Dudu Cao will do?"

Ning Xiang stared at Ning Yuan dumbfounded, and it took him a while to realize, screaming, "I didn't do that!"

After finishing speaking, he threw himself down at Ning Ruhai's feet again and again, and said in a panic: "Father, you trust me! I did let the flying squirrel destroy the Cao family's boat, but I absolutely have no guts to get involved with treason." Ah! Father, trust me!"

"Second brother, you may have made a mistake. In this matter, whether father believes you or not is not important, what is important is whether Governor Cao believes you." Ning Yuan paused, "However, even if Governor Cao believed it, so what?" Well, in order to exonerate myself, even if he believes it, he will just act as if he doesn’t believe it. Hurry up and push you out, second brother, or say, push out our Ning family, so that they can quickly clear their suspicion of the Cao family.”

As soon as Ning Yuan finished speaking, the expressions of everyone in the room changed. Indeed, if the matter continues like this, it will involve more than just a dragon boat leader. Once it has something to do with treason , even if it is not a catastrophe to destroy the family, as the head of the family, Ning Ruhai must be the first to suffer!

"Oh my god, what kind of crime is this?" Shen thumped her chest hard twice, and she almost didn't faint. Ning Ruhai was already turning blue and even turned pale. up.

Ning Yuan continued: "Fortunately, until now, there is nothing outside that can involve my Ning family. Presumably this guy knows that if the matter is exposed, he can't be alone, so he didn't gossip outside. If the matter needs to be remedied, there should be time, everyone will pretend not to hear it, keep their mouths shut, and just act as if they don’t know anything.”

"That's right, Yuan'er is right." Yan took a deep look at Ning Yuan and said, "No matter what, what Xiang'er has done must not be revealed."

"Did you hear me, all of you keep your mouths shut!" Ning Ruhai swept over the other people in the room with a majestic gaze.

"Yes." Everyone in the room lowered their heads in fear.

"Come here." Ning Ruhai pointed at the fainted flying squirrel and said, "Drag this guy down and lock him up. After he wakes up, I will have a good trial in person. As for Ning Xiang." Ning Ruhai His eyes fell on Ning Xiang who was stunned again, "You did such a thing without telling me, it almost dragged down the whole family, from now on in the Songrun hall, you will shut up and think about your mistakes, let others watch carefully, and you are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission !"

Ning Xiang didn't resist or beg for mercy, maybe he knew that it would be useless to argue too much, but just stared at Ning Yuan with resentment, and obediently followed his servant away.

"Hmph, neither of these two mothers and sons has calmed down!" Shen snorted forcefully, and said to Ning Ruhai, "This is the child that the third lady who loves thousands of times taught! It's fine if you are a crazy woman. It also taught me that a granddaughter and a grandson have become useless virtues, what kind of crimes did our family do!"

"Old madam, don't be angry, my son will take care of Liu Huiyi's matter." Ning Ruhai said with a gloomy face, "It was because she saw that she was in poor health and lost her daughter, so I didn't want to embarrass her too much, but Her own words and deeds are shameless, and now even Ning Xiang has become such a temper, and it is because she, a mother, has no ability to raise her, how can such a person deserve to be called a wife, so let her status be reduced to an aunt."

Shen Shi took a look at Ning Ruhai, "Hmph, when such a person is your concubine, it's just to praise her. If she is not the biological mother of three children, even if you don't want her, I will drive her out of the house."

"Wow!" But at this moment, someone seemed to have broken a dish.

Shen Shi turned her head to look, but saw Ning Mo staring at the broken bowl at her feet in a daze, she couldn't help wondering: "Mo'er, what's wrong with you, why did you drop such a good bowl?"

"Grandmother, don't blame it, Mo'er just suddenly thought of a very strange thing, so she was a little lost." Ning Mo got up and saluted Shen Shifu.

074 Death of Ning Xiang

"Strange thing? What kind of strange thing?" Shen asked puzzled.

"It's not a big deal, maybe it's because I'm overthinking." Ning Mo showed a hesitant expression, "I remember that during the dragon boat competition yesterday, my second brother couldn't tell which one was which. One is our family’s ship, which one is Cao’s, and how can we send people to destroy it in advance? Thinking about it now, it’s really strange.”

When Ning Mo said this, Ning Ruhai also remembered that yesterday, at the end of the dragon boat competition, he saw that the dragon boat with the dragon head was out of order and took down Modern. Ning Xiang had confessed to him and insisted that It was their ship from the Ning Mansion, since he couldn't even tell which one was from the Ning Mansion and which was from the Cao Mansion, so why did he act in advance and tamper with the Cao family's boat so that he could take over the matter of the leader? Isn't it contradictory?

unless……

"Could it be that the kid's real plan is not to deliberately destroy the Cao family's boat so that our family can win, but he made a mistake and then got on board the Cao family's boat? Could it be that our family was the one he wanted to destroy? The boat!?" Shen Shi's unbelievable words coincided with Ning Ruhai's thoughts, while Yan Shi on the other side quietly lowered his head, hiding the regretful expression on his face.

That idiot's days are over, it's really useless, Yan Shi thought.

"But why did the second brother do this? He has no reason. Could it be that our boat won the bottom class, so what good does it do him?" Ning Yuan looked at Ning Mo pretending not to know.

"In fact, you might as well think about it the other way around. If our boat takes the last class, it may not be good for him, but for whom will it be bad?" Ning Mo looked at Ning Yuan. At the end of the day, the first to bear the brunt is you, third brother."

Ning Yuan didn't speak.

Ning Mo continued: "Although our mansion has never won the leader before, it has never been behind the top three. If this time not only falls out of the top three, but also takes the bottom for an unprecedented time, this year's dragon boat is the third brother again. You arranged it all by yourself, and if father gets angry, you will definitely not be able to escape punishment, third brother."

"Mo'er, could it be that according to your intention, Xiang'er would do this just to target Yuan'er?" Shen was a little unbelievable, "Why would he spend so much effort to target Yuan'er, it doesn't make sense."

"Grandmother, you should know that jealousy can make all the things that don't make sense. Ning Xiang is older than Ning Yuan, and has always had a higher status in the family. But this year's dragon boat competition, grandmother and father If Ning Yuan is entrusted with this matter but not him, if he is dissatisfied, it is understandable to do such a thing."

"Stupid thing!" Shen slapped the table, "I'm actually jealous of my younger brother!"

Ning Mo saluted Shen Shifu modestly, "Grandmother, don't be angry, this is just my guess."

But Shen said: "No, it must be like this. Only this reason can explain the whole thing. Knowing that the elder valued his younger brother, he didn't work hard to cultivate his own virtue to win the elder's attention. Instead, he felt jealous. Such a foolish thing happened, this kid really owes discipline!"

"Actually, there may be another reason." When Ning Mo said this, his expression became more serious, he shook his head and said, "No, it must not be like that, I must be overthinking."

But Ning Mo's appearance aroused Shen's curiosity even more, "Mo'er, what did you think of?"

"I..." Ning Mo paused, and looked at Ning Ruhai anxiously, "It just occurred to me just now that in case of this matter, the second younger brother is not the third younger brother who he wants to target..."

Shen was taken aback, "Mo'er, please explain more clearly, is it possible that besides Yuan'er, that kid can target others?"

"Grandmother, you might as well think about it, if our house hadn't exchanged bows with the Cao family, would it have become our family if we were contaminated with disrespect for the Tian family this time?"

"Sister Mo'er, you must be overwhelmed." Ning Yuan said: "The one who tampered with the dragon's claws should be the enemy of the Cao family. This has nothing to do with our family."

"What I'm worried about is here. Since things on the rudder can miss the auxiliary vehicle, why can't things on the dragon's claw?"

"Could it be that you mean..." Ning Yuan widened his eyes in surprise, shook his head and said, "Impossible, this matter is too big, the second brother doesn't have the guts, and it's just to target me, so he won't do it." At that point, otherwise, once the Dongchuang incident happens, it will not be me, but my father who will be the first to suffer, no matter how courageous my second brother is, he will not dare to joke about his father's safety."

But Ning Mo didn't take the words, just stared at Ning Yuan fixedly, Ning Yuan rolled his eyes, seemed to understand something, suddenly showed an expression of disbelief, and suddenly turned his head to look at Ning Ruhai, "Could it be possible? ..."

"This is what I suspect. If the person Second Brother wants to target is not you, but Father...then this matter..." Ning Mo also turned his head and looked at Ning Ruhai, whose face was as gloomy as water. .

Ning Mo and Ning Yuan sang and talked about the matter to such an extent that anyone with no brains should understand the key point. Maybe Ning Xiang didn't want to target Ning Yuan from the beginning. He sent someone to damage the rudder, so naturally He could send someone to change the four-clawed dragon into a five-clawed dragon, and the reason why he did this was because he wanted to frame him, and there was only one person who could actually frame him, and that was Ning Ruhai.

"This is too absurd. No matter how confused the second young master is, he won't be planning on his father's head." Aunt Zhang only thought it was unbelievable.

"But it's not impossible. We're not the worms in the second young master's stomach. Who knows what he's thinking." Aunt Zhuang also said, "And the second young master doesn't have no motive at all, sir. Shutting his mother into the ancestral hall, he is far less pampered and cherished than before, and the old lady ordered his sister to be imprisoned, doesn't he have any resentment towards the master and the old lady in his heart?" Speaking of this , Mrs. Zhuang patted her chest in fear, and raised her tone, "Avenge your mother? Avenge your sister? Avenge yourself?"

"That's enough! They're talking nonsense!" Shen slapped the table again, louder than ever before. Yan immediately stepped forward and kept rubbing Shen's palms, " The old lady calm down, the truth of this matter remains to be ascertained, and the daughter-in-law also believes that Xiang'er will not have the courage." After finishing speaking, Yan raised her head and shouted at Ning Mo, "Mo'er, if Don't speak here without evidence, look at what you are saying, make the old lady so angry!"

"Mo'er knows it's wrong." Ning Mo hurriedly gave a blessing.

"That's the end of today's matter. No matter who you are, control your own mouths and the mouths of the servants around you. If you rush outside to chew half a word, you will be dealt with immediately by family law, and you will never be lenient!" Shen said His face was very ugly, "I suddenly feel uncomfortable, you all retreat, Ruhai, you stay!"

The other people in the room immediately stood up and saluted, and left the Shou'an Hall one after another, but Mrs. Yan sat still. She thought that Mrs. Shen let Ning Ruhai stay, so it would be fine for him, his wife, to stay with her, and wait for someone to leave. After it was almost over, Shen Shi also said to her: "You go out too."

Yan made up her mind and had no choice but to get up and leave, but before she left, she glanced at Xu's mother behind her, and Xu's mother understood what she meant, and nodded cryptically.

The people in the Shou'an Hall went to the empty building, not even a servant was left behind, only Shen Shi and Ning Ruhai, left and right, faced the leftover rose balls on the table, silent.

"The old lady asked me to stay, but did you believe Cai Mo'er's words?" After a while, Ning Ruhai spoke first.

Shen Shi said: "So what's the letter? You haven't said anything since just now. Based on my mother's understanding of you, if you didn't have doubts in your heart, you would never be able to sit there and say nothing."

"After all, Mo'er has no reason to frame Ning Xiang, and what she said, if the whole thing is connected and carefully considered, is the only reason that can connect everything smoothly and make sense." Ning Xiang Ruhai sighed, his expression was so dark that it almost turned black, "However, we can't make a conclusion until we have real evidence. Now it's just a guess, not counting."

"Real evidence? I'm afraid the evidence hasn't been found yet. You have already been sent to the guillotine by your beloved son!" Shen's words were extremely harsh. Harming Ning Ruhai, there is no reason to be calm, "I just want to tell you one thing, keeping such a white-eyed wolf by your side will sooner or later become a catastrophe. You can attack your father at a young age, and when you grow up, you will become a big disaster." I can get it."

"Old lady, I have already said that it is speculation, and this matter is not necessarily done by Ning Xiang."

"I only know that it's better to believe it than to believe it. It's always right to plan ahead, and even though the Dragon Claw incident has nothing to do with Ning Xiang, he admitted that he broke the rudder. Once the news leaks out, After being found out by the Cao family, regardless of whether the dragon's claws were caused by Ning Xiang's hands or feet, the Cao family's use of this excuse is already a sure thing. Do you want to watch such a result happen and wait for death? "

"Then according to the old lady's opinion, how to deal with this matter?"

"Anything, if you want the dust to settle in an unclear situation, you can only rely on the words 'death does not tell you'." Still in a hidden gazebo in the back garden, Ning Yuan lightly put the sunspot in his hand In the southeast corner of the chessboard, he continued: "Ning Xiang has already been involved in this matter. In order to prevent the Cao family from taking the blame on our family through Ning Xiang, the father and grandmother, the best way is to let Ning Xiang be the person involved. Disappear, as long as there is no proof of death, then everything will be over, after all, compared with the crime of treason, I am just a bastard, and I don’t feel bad when I am gone, let alone a bastard who 'may frame his father'."

"But after all, he is his own son and grandson. I don't think they can make Ning Xiang follow Ning Ping'er's old path." Ning Mo shook his head.

"I think brother, you have misunderstood me." Ning Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't intend to let them take Ning Xiang's life. Tiger poison doesn't eat children, let alone the son I have loved for so many years. So father and grandmother should think of a compromise, such as..."

"Master!" But at this moment, Ning Yuan's words were interrupted by a long cry, Zhou Shi ran over panting from a distance, and leaned to Ning Yuan's side, with his hands on his knees, gasping for breath, out of breath Angrily said: "I got it! I got it!"

"Speak slowly, don't rush." ​​Both Ning Yuan and Ning Mo turned around and looked at him.

Zhou Shi took the tea that Bai Tan handed him, raised his head and drank it completely, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Master has just quietly ordered the third lady... no, Aunt Liu and the second young master to hide in the Going to Yongzhou's natal family, not allowed to come back without his order, and then said to the outside world that the second young master has traveled far away to travel the world, and the return date is uncertain, and the flying squirrel was strangled to death just now, and dragged to a mass grave to be buried."

Ning Mo showed a "sure enough" expression, but Ning Yuan didn't care about his move, he just asked, "Did you say when you're going to leave?"

Zhou Shidao: "I said I will leave tonight. Now I have sent people to Hexinyuan and Songruntang to pack things."

"Understood." Ning Yuan nodded, "I worked hard on you this morning, go back and rest soon."

Zhou Shi took the order to leave, Ning Mo looked at Ning Yuan's expression, and said, "Look at you, it seems that you are not satisfied with this result?"

Ning Yuan smiled and said: "It's expected, what kind of surprise can there be? I just went back to my mother's house to let them recharge their batteries. Maybe next month they will be able to come back full of energy and continue to sing."

Ning Mo also shook his head with a chuckle, "At the beginning, I didn't understand why you asked Zhou Shi to change the four-clawed dragon into a five-clawed dragon, and quietly asked people to create rumors among the crowd when awarding silver, so that everyone Discovering the mystery on the prow of the boat, I thought it was a calculated step, I'm afraid Ning Xiang couldn't think of it, he sent people to tamper with the dragon boat, in fact, it was the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind."

"I'm just borrowing flowers to present to the Buddha. Anyway, he did it first. If I don't push the boat along, it will be a waste of his painstaking efforts to plot against me."

That night, the Hexin Garden was very noisy. The married daughter-in-law was first demoted from wife to aunt, and then was driven back to her mother's house by her husband. Although she didn't write a letter of divorce, it was a rare humiliation. Liu's temper has always been fierce. , how could he give in so easily, so he wailed and howled for a while in Hexinyuan, and even pretended to commit suicide. It was Yan Shi who went there, and she didn't know what she had said to Liu Shi. After persuading her for an hour, Liu Shi finally calmed down, weeping, and was helped by a few maids into the carriage waiting outside the door.

Compared with Liu Shi, Ning Xiang was much calmer. He simply carried a package, and stood beside the carriage with dark circles around his eyes. This time they walked in an embarrassing way, and even the servants looked at him strangely. Yes, it was the first time Ning Xiang had encountered such humiliation since he grew up.

Although he didn't know why things turned out like this, he subconsciously felt that all of this had something to do with Ning Yuan. Anyway, that kid was always against them, first his sister, and then he and his mother suffered. Ning Qian'er, who had been silent and humble before, was the luckiest one. Not only was she not implicated by them, but because of their departure, she went to live in the second lady's yard.

Ning Xiang thought to himself, when he meets Ning Yuan again, he must let that little bastard who can only flatter his grandmother and frame him everywhere kneel at his feet and beg for mercy. Sure enough, he saw a young man in a blue robe walking slowly from a distance with an attendant.

"Aunt Liu, Second Brother, I know you are leaving today, so I came here to see you off." Walking closer, Ning Yuan smiled and said to Ning Xiang with a sincere expression.

"Who wants you to pretend to be kind!" Ning Xiang was very impatient, he was scolding in his heart, this guy actually came to his door on his own initiative, and he came here specially to ask for a beating.

"Well, even if the second brother doesn't like me, will he still show such a face to me in this field?" Ning Yuan shook his head pretending to regret, "I really came here to see you off with all my heart, How could the second elder brother make my younger brother so cold."

"Bah!" Ning Xiang spit on Ning Yuan's face, but Ning Yuan just turned slightly and avoided it. Seeing that he didn't get sprayed, Ning Xiang couldn't bear to come again, so he pointed at Ning Yuan. Yuan's nose said: "You just wait for me. I will definitely ask you to get back all the debts today and today. As long as I have the day when I come back, don't think that this Ningfu I can let you go crazy!"

"Of course the second brother will come back. I'm still waiting for the second brother to be named on the gold list for the township examination in September this year, and the good news about Jie Yuan in high school." Ning Yuan still smiled gently.

Ning Xiang walked towards Ning Yuan for a few steps, and didn't stop until their noses were almost touching. He stared fiercely at Ning Yuan's dark eyes and said, "Don't think that a bitch born from a prostitute can get it temporarily. Face and identity can fly past your origin, even if you are proud of yourself for a few days today, but you should not think about things that should not be delusional. There is only one real young master in the entire Ning Mansion, who can inherit the title of Earl of Wu'an There is only one, and that is me, do you understand?"

"Second brother, are you confused?" Ning Yuan looked at him without fear, "Eldest brother is still here, it's really out of character for you to say such a thing."

"Hmph, that tuberculosis ghost can still live for a few more years, I'm afraid he will have to go to hell first before his father dies, what else can he have to fight with me?" Ning Xiang snorted hard and stretched out his arms. I pressed my finger on Ning Yuan's chest a few times, "The days will be long, so you should wait for the day when I come back."

After finishing speaking, Ning Xiang spat at Ning Yuan's feet again, turned around and walked towards the carriage, got into the carriage in twos and did not show up again.

The driver of the carriage did not hesitate, seeing Ning Xiang getting into the carriage, he shook his whip, and the carriage immediately swayed forward, and soon disappeared into the heavy night.

"Master, no matter what the second young master said, don't take it to heart. It's late at night, let's go back first." Standing behind Ning Yuan, Zhou Shi persuaded.

Ning Yuan nodded, took another look at the direction where the carriage disappeared, and turned back to walk in the direction it came from.

It's just that Ning Yuan didn't notice that there were also two people standing there silently in the shadows of trees not far away from him. At this time, the moon poked out its face from the clouds, and the moonlight fell on the tree through the gaps in the branches. The faces of those two people reflected Xu's mother's terrified expression, and Yan's expression that had become extremely ferocious.

"Madam, please calm down... Young master, young master will be in good health." Madam Xu said tremblingly. She has served Yan family for many years, and this is the first time she has seen Yan family with such a penetrating expression. Started to tingle.

Yan didn't say a word, and stood there for a long time before saying quietly: "You have the guts to curse Zhan'er...Mother Xu, what should I do, I don't need to tell you specifically."

"Yes, servant girl understands." Mother Xu bowed.

"Go back!" Yan Shi flicked his sleeves, turned around with a cold snort, and left. Mother Xu glanced in the direction the carriage was leaving, and hurriedly followed behind Yan Shi.

In the next few days, the Ning Mansion was very quiet. Without the Liu family and Ning Xiang making troubles, Ning Yuan's life can be said to be boring except for the rules, but he also enjoys this kind of boring. He comes back from the school supervisor every day , either teaching Ning Xiner to practice calligraphy in the Tang family's courtyard, or practicing in her own room, until the afternoon of ten days later, when Ning Yuan came back from school in the supervisor, she saw a lot of people standing at the gate of Ning's mansion.
