bastard returns

The carriages were full of the carriages of some high-ranking officials and nobles in Jiangzhou. Ning Yuan took a curious look at the rows of carriages. As soon as he stepped through the gate, he saw Ning Mo standing there with the maid beside him.

Seeing Ning Yuan appear, Ning Mo immediately stepped forward, but his face was not very good-looking, "You are finally back."

"Why are you here?" Ning Yuan kept avoiding the relationship with Ning Mo in front of people, but he didn't want Ning Mo to wait for him at the gate, and was a little strange for a while, "But what happened?"

"It's the news that just came back." Ning Mo closed his eyes in the middle of speaking, as if he had collected himself, opened them again, and said word by word: "Ning Xiang is dead."

"The body was discovered by the mountain people the night before yesterday. The carriage rolled down the mountain road halfway up the mountain, and the entire frame of the carriage was disintegrated. With the driver and two attendants, none of the five people was alive, and it was from such a height. I heard that the death was terrible, and the weather was so hot that by the time they were found, they couldn’t even tell the human figure, only relying on the signs on the carriage, they were sure that it was their carriage.”

Ning Mo spoke slowly, and Ning Yuan's expression gradually changed from calm to dignified, "So those carriages outside came because of this incident?"

Ning Mo nodded, "The corpse has been brought back. It is an aunt and a young master. The mourning hall is in the main hall. You can go with me."

075 The First Son Ning Zhan

In the main hall, a huge white paper-tied flower and the word "Dian" hung high above the spirit seat, and behind it were two coffins. The Ning family members in the room were all dressed in white robes. Ning Ruhai and Shen's face sat gloomy On one side, Mrs. Yan wiped tears while talking to the female relatives and guests who came to condolence. As for the other aunts and young ladies, they all had their own expressions, but Ning Yuan could also tell that there was no one in the whole room. Those who are sincerely sad, on the contrary, those who take pleasure in other's misfortunes account for the majority.

It's no wonder that the Liu family has been in the mansion for many years, relying on Ning Ruhai's darling and her own children, she has been arrogant and domineering, not to mention aunts, even many servants secretly hate her, now that she is dead, she is still dead It was so ugly, it was too late for them to clap their hands and applaud, how could they waste their tears in vain, but only Yan Shi, crying so pale and heartbreaking, as if he had really lost some dear relative.

Ning Yuan and Ning Mo took the white robes handed over by the servants at the door and put them on their backs. They went to the coffin and burned two sticks of incense. Then they heard the guests who came to mourn Yan who were sitting on the side whispering, It is said that there have been a lot of incidents in the Ning Mansion recently, and it should be because of the Tai Sui. The mistress Yan asked the mage to come back to practice exorcising evil spirits. It will definitely not be as simple as an ordinary accident.

First Ning Pinger, then Liu Shi and Ning Xiang, three people died consecutively in the Ning Mansion for more than a month, no wonder others think so.

It's just that no one in this family would like to hear the words "offending Tai Sui". Looking at Shen's face, Ning Yuan could guess that Shen's was already very upset after chewing the roots of those people's tongues for a long time. happy.

Ning Yuan didn't like the atmosphere in the mourning hall. After saying goodbye to Shen Shi and Ning Ruhai, he left the mourning hall with Ning Mo. Standing outside, Ning Mo said softly to Ning Yuan: "Do you also think this is an accident? .”

Ning Yuan lowered his head and pondered, "From Jiangzhou to Yongzhou, you have to cross Yuling Mountain, but Yuling Mountain has a wide road, and the mountain is not steep. I have never heard of a carriage on it for so many years, and the driver who drove them Experienced and experienced, the horse is also a good horse, and it is indeed quite strange to say that it fell off the cliff by accident."

"I heard that the officials investigating the case in the yamen thought the same way, but if they hadn't suffered an accident, it would not be easy to find out the truth in the wilderness of the place." Ning Mo said: "At present, only the corpses have been transported back , There are still a lot of wreckage of carriages waiting to be cleaned up in the mountain depression, I think we can find some clues after the officials have finished cleaning up the things."

"What doubts do you have?" Ning Yuan looked at Ning Mo, and said three more words, "Madam?"

"It's not impossible, you and I know what kind of person she is." Ning Mo's face darkened, "In short, you need to be careful these days, this old fox is not as good as the third lady Deal with it, I always feel that she will take advantage of the wind and attack you."

****

In a side courtyard of Ruining Courtyard, there is always a burst of fresh and fragrant medicinal fragrance, which mostly comes from various rare medicinal materials planted in the garden of the courtyard. As long as ordinary people enter this courtyard, they will feel deeply Take a few breaths, and you will feel refreshed. If you can live here for a long time, just by smelling the fragrance of this medicine, you can also strengthen your body and prolong your life.

The yard was quiet, only two maids stayed there, one was carrying a wooden barrel to water the medicinal herbs in the flower garden, and the other was sitting at the door of the side room to decoct the medicine, the service of those two maids was much more gorgeous than ordinary maids, Presumably she is not an ordinary maid, so it can be seen that the identity of the owner of the yard is definitely not low, and the reason why there are only two maids serving such a master is because the doctor who planted the medicinal material back then said that if there are too many people in the yard, It will divide the medicinal gas emitted by the medicinal materials in the courtyard, and these medicinal gasses were originally used to nourish the body of the owner of the courtyard. Other servants are not allowed to step into this courtyard on weekdays.

The maid who decocted the medicine saw that the decoction was almost rolled, so she quickly took out the prepared white porcelain bowl, covered it with a layer of fine gauze, poured the decoction through the gauze into the porcelain bowl, added a large spoonful of honey, covered it The cover was ready, and she was about to carry it into the house, when suddenly she heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, she hurriedly turned around, wanting to scold whoever was so bold as to dare to enter this courtyard, but when she saw the person coming in, she immediately restrained herself He lost his expression, bowed respectfully and stepped back to the side.

Yan Shi has already taken off her mourning clothes, and put on a pink bright skirt, and even her sideburns have changed from the usual dignified headdress in front of everyone, and a dazzling peony has been inserted, not only her, but also Even Xu's mother behind her was dressed in bright red, very happy, as if she was going to match her brows.

At Yan's age, it would be ridiculous to dress up so delicately, but she did not dress up like this because she liked it, but to make herself bright and suppress the sickness in the yard, by the way It can also bring a trace of joy, with a hint of joy in it.

"Is this the freshly decocted medicine?" Yan walked up to the maid who was holding the medicine, looked down at the soup that was emitting bursts of heat in the porcelain bowl, saw the maid nodded, and said again: "I'll come Send it in, you can do other things first."

The maid bowed, handed the medicine to Yan Shi and then withdrew. Yan Shi held the tray and pushed open the door.

The room is hung with thick curtains, even if the outside yard is sunny, only a very small amount of light can fall into the room through the gaps in the curtains, barely breaking the dark atmosphere and allowing people to see things.

The medicinal fragrance in the house is stronger than that in the yard, because no matter on the table or on the shelf, there are all kinds of vases filled with different kinds of medicinal materials.However, due to the lack of light in the room, these medicinal materials can only last for three days at most in the vase, and another batch will be replaced after three days. In addition, these medicinal materials are very expensive, so as long as you change the medicinal materials in the room, it will be once a month. It was a huge expense. If Ning Ruhai and Shen Shi saw this situation, they would have to ask Yan Shi where she got the money to be so extravagant, but first, they rarely came, and second, even if they came once in a while, Yan Shi It is also possible to have people replace all the furnishings in the house in advance, and the people who serve in this yard are Yan's confidantes, so whether it is Shen's or Ning Ruhai, they are all concerned about this daily spending. The medicine yard with flowing water didn't know it.

Yan Shi walked into the room, opened layer after layer of curtains, and finally entered the inner room. There was a large and comfortable bed in the inner room. It could be seen that the fabric on the bed was made of very precious silk brocade, and there was a thin face on the bed. The handsome young man was sleeping there peacefully. The young man's face was sickly pale, but against the backdrop of his impeccable facial features, he was as calm as a person in a painting. This young man's handsomeness was probably no worse than Sikong Xu's. It's just that compared to Sikong Xu's heroic and unrestrained handsomeness, this young man has a feminine taste.

"Zhan'er." Yan sat on the edge of the bed holding the medicine, and touched the young man's face very tenderly, "Zhan'er, wake up, mother is here to see you."

The young man didn't seem to be sleeping deeply. Following Yan's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yan, and said, "Mother."

"Come on, mother helps you get up and drink the medicine." Yan helped the young man to sit up, and took two soft pillows for him to lean on.Even though the young man sat up, his whole body looked weak, as if he would collapse at any moment.

"After drinking this medicine for a long time, it still looks like this. I don't care if I don't drink it." The young man spoke in a low and hoarse voice, which made Yan's heart ache.

"Silly boy, what you have is a heart disease. There is no reason why it will be cured so quickly. Mother looks at you much better than when you first fell ill. Have you forgotten that last year you were struggling to even sit up?" Yan Shi Putting the medicine to the young man's mouth, the young man glanced at her, but obediently finished the medicine.

"Where's Dad?" After drinking the medicine, the young man asked, "It seems like Dad hasn't visited me for a while."

"Your father is busy on weekdays, so he can't come to see you all the time. Besides, you can't even get out of bed to salute and say hello to you. Your father will feel bad when he sees it."

The young man showed a lonely expression, and after a while, the corners of his mouth curled up and he sneered softly: "I'm afraid that father is not busy, but busy loving my second brother. I think so, the second brother is going to participate in Qiuwei this year, since I am sick After he died, he was the most important son of my father, and I thought that with my second younger brother alive and kicking by my side, my father would not be able to remember me."

After listening to the young man's complaints, Mrs. Yan didn't say a word, she just put the empty bowl on the small table beside the bed, straightened her sleeves, and said, "Your second brother is so blessed, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive your father's favor again." beloved."

"What's wrong?" The young man frowned, "Did the second brother make a mistake?"

"He's dead." Yan raised her head, fixedly staring at her son's eyes that suddenly became terrified.

"how come……"

"I've been praising that kid for the past few years, but he just doesn't know how to praise, and he has the guts to curse you for not being able to survive your father. What's the use of keeping such things." Yan said lightly: " What's more, Ning Xiang has already lost the favor of your father and grandmother, so it is not difficult to deal with him."

It took a while for the young man's expression to return to calm, and he sat there silently.

"Didn't you always dislike your father doting on Ning Xiang? Aren't you happy that Mother got rid of him for you?" Yan looked at the young man with surprise.

"No." The young man shook his head, "I just thought that my father must be very sad when my second brother died. Thinking of my father's sadness makes me feel very uncomfortable."

Yan stroked the young man's temples, "My good boy, you are still so filial to your father. If your father knows how much you care about him, he will be very pleased."

"Mother." The young man paused before opening his mouth and said, "I want to go and pay my respects to my father, is that okay?"

"No." Yan's expression immediately turned cold, "The doctor has repeatedly instructed you not to leave this room full of medicine gas until your body is fully recovered, otherwise if the medicine is gone, the root cause of your disease will be suppressed. When will Bao Buqi attack again."

"Could it be that the child is going to stay in this room forever." The young man grasped the quilt covering him tightly with his hands, looking rather dejected.

"Don't worry, you may be able to walk out of this room in a short time." Yan held the young man's hand and comforted him, "Your sister sent a letter, and she found a doctor who specializes in treating heart diseases for you." If you get the diagnosis and treatment with his wonderful hands, you won't need to use medicine to recuperate in the future, no matter how patient you are, mother will not let you suffer."

The young man took a deep breath and nodded.

Yan comforted the young man to sleep, and then pulled the bed curtain for him very considerately, before leaving the room.Standing at the door of the room, Yan raised his head and glanced at the blue sky, and said to Mother Xu beside him, "Are you sure the things are ready?"

Mother Xu bowed, "There is nothing wrong with it. Sun Shan came to report it himself. He put the things in the second young master's carriage with his own hands. I think by this time, the officials of the yamen should have discovered it."

"Very good." Yan nodded, "Ning Xiang will die if he dies, but as long as you use it properly, even the dead will crawl out of the grave to help you. If it is because of the death of the second young master, And it will be difficult to let some low-status guys in the mansion become complacent, Madam Xu, don't you think so?"

"That's natural. Madam planned well. Naturally, no one can escape Madam's Wuzhi Mountain." Mother Xu flattered her very naturally, as if she was used to saying this.

Yan showed an extremely gentle smile, "Let's change our clothes and go back to the mourning hall. If you want others to see the virtue of my aunt, you have to cry again."

Hearing the footsteps outside the door fading away, in the quiet and dark room, the young man lay with his eyes open, without any sleepiness.

"Second brother, are you dead?" He murmured to himself in a low voice, "Since there is no second brother, I guess my father will only like me wholeheartedly from now on."

He gently closed his eyes, Ning Ruhai's rigid face and vigorous body gradually emerged in his mind, he was looking at himself lovingly, and then embraced himself with those powerful arms, Whispered in his ear with a soft voice, "Zhan'er."

"Father..." As if feeling Ning Ruhai's thick and hard chest and the scorching heat, the young man's face blushed slightly, and he couldn't help reaching out his hand, groping between his legs, holding the one that was constantly The thing that became hard and hot was gently kneaded.

"Father...Father..." He moved faster and faster, and his face became redder and redder. He was enjoying the waves of pleasure coming up from under him. Suddenly, his movements stopped suddenly, and his forehead exploded. With blue veins, his hands didn't care about the hard object between his legs, but grabbed the clothes on his chest with one hand, fumbled for a small porcelain bottle under the pillow tremblingly with the other hand, and bit open the cap , struggled to pour out several small pills and swallowed them, and after a while, he gradually recovered.

After the flush on his face caused by the hot flashes subsided, his face became paler than before. After taking a few breaths, he lifted the quilt and found that the thing that was originally vigorously under his body had leaked out at some point , The fishy-smelling mucus stained all the trousers and bedding, and it was very sticky and uncomfortable.He supported himself and raised his hand, and rang a bell hanging over the bed. After a while, the maid who was cooking medicine outside came in. Without waiting for the young man to speak, the maid only saw this posture and immediately understood what happened , not surprised, but skillfully stepped forward to lift off the quilt, cleaned up the young man's messy lower body, put on clean clothes and bedding for him, and then hurried down to wash the dirty things .

"Ning Chen died before, and now Ning Xiang died, that's all, they deserve it." The young man stared at the bed curtain above his head for a long while, as if he had experienced the aftertaste of the ecstasy just now, and then slowly closed it. eyes, and fell asleep peacefully, "I can only blame them for their bad luck. It's not okay to be someone's son, but to be my father's son. My father can only belong to me. In any case, he can only be my Ning Zhan Alone."

Two days later, about the funeral of Aunt Liu and the Second Young Master in Jiangzhou's garrison Mr. Ning's house on the cliff, rumors suddenly arose in Jiangzhou City.

Originally, this was not a big deal. After all, there is no natural or man-made disaster in any family. Birth, old age, sickness and death are perfectly normal. Regarding the occurrence of such a disaster in the Ning family, the common people just sighed and didn't think much about it. Early in the morning, some "informed persons" broke the news from the Jiangzhou yamen, saying that Aunt Liu and Ning Ershao did not die by accident, but committed suicide.

As for the evidence, it is also a matter of black and white. The officials of the government government found a well-preserved suicide note in the wreckage of the carriage. Young Master and Aunt Liu have been persecuted by Third Young Master Ning in all kinds of ways in the Ning Mansion. Although Second Young Master Ning does not want to have the same knowledge as Third Young Master Ning, let alone ruin the brotherhood because of his younger brother's jealousy, Third Young Master Ning Not only did he fail to understand his painstaking efforts, but intensified them. On the one hand, he flattered Master Ning and the old lady, and on the other hand, he tried his best to plant and frame them. Er Shao and Aunt Liu successfully drove them out of the Ning Mansion and wanted to drive them back to their natal home.

It's just that a scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated. How could Second Young Master Ning and Aunt Liu do this kind of humiliation? Still determined to show their ambitions with death, even if they were to fall to pieces under the cliff, they would definitely expose the viciousness of that cunning Third Young Master Ning to the world!

The content of the suicide note was like an uproar, spreading throughout the city at once.Although bureaucrats and aristocrats can't be provoked by ordinary people, gossip about the housework of bureaucrats and aristocrats is what the common people are most passionate about and like to do. In just one day, everyone in the city said that Ning Yuan was jealous of Ning Xiang's talents. Well, it is said that Ning Xiang is greedy for wealth and honor and wants to inherit the title of Uncle Wu An, and that Ning Yuan is just purely vicious because of his humble background and hates his brother with a better background than himself. On the contrary, that is - Ning Yuan persecuted his elder brother, and he was insane, it was simply unbearable.

Especially later, it was revealed that Ning Yuan came out of the mansion to meet him just before Ning Xiang got into the carriage and left, and Ning Yuan was very angry with his elder brother who had been "persecuted" by him and left home. With all the sarcasm and sarcasm, the person who broke the news spoke clearly and clearly, as if they were eavesdropping on the sidelines. In addition, some students in the Jiangzhou school supervisor also revealed that Ning Yuan and Ning Xiang had always been at odds in the school supervisor. Ning Yuan didn't show Ning Xiang any face in front of Master Gao Yu, a scholar.Once such evidence comes out, it is no less than pouring a large spoonful of oil on the already raging fire, and with a stab, the flames rise three feet high. Less——Ning Yuan's scolding almost surpassed the "Ning Ping'er Incident" that just passed.

"Young master Ningxiang is really pitiful. How could he have such a younger brother who is not as good as a pig or a dog!" In the restaurant, a few burly men were laughing and drinking while blowing their noses. After seeing such a scum, Master Ning can still sit still, if it were me, I would have tied him up and sent him to the government office for murder!"

"Isn't it? Master Ning is too confused. If you keep such a white-eyed wolf at home, you are not afraid that one day he will kill his elder brother and come to kill him!" Another person poured a bowl of wine, Then he said: "To tell you the truth, this morning I quietly went to the gate of Jiangzhou School Superintendent to take a look at Third Young Master Ning, and he really looked like a tricky and tricky person, even my own relatives were hurt, so mournful!" If you are as conscientious as you are, you will have retribution sooner or later!"

"Bah! After doing such a thing, that kid actually has the guts to show his face. Aren't we ordinary people spraying him to death one by one!" The big man who spoke first punched the table, "We are all good men in the world. , What is important is to fight against injustice and speak up for justice. The second young master Ning died unjustly, so the third young master Ning really owes a lesson. Since he still has the courage to go out, brothers and sisters, let's go to justice for the sky and go to the Jiangzhou school supervisor Block people at the door, and we will definitely drive that scum so that his father can't even recognize him!"

As soon as the big man responded, everyone at the table immediately applauded in unison, stopped drinking immediately, and left the restaurant with a huff and walked straight towards the direction of the supervisor.

It's just that these people didn't realize that when they got up, the other two men wearing bamboo hats sitting in the corner also got up and followed them quietly.

Those people quickly came to an inaccessible alley. At this moment, the two men who had been following behind suddenly pulled up and beat up the group of big men. The two men were very skilled. That's right, punches and kicks, but in an instant, this group of strong outsiders was beaten to the ground, wailing into pieces, and none of them could get up from the ground.

076 Push the boat with the current

"Young master, don't we strike harder." One of them looked at the wailing scene and asked behind the other.

"You heard it just now. They are going to trouble Brother Ning. Do you want me to ignore you?" The other person raised his head, revealing a chiseled face under the bamboo hat, but the expression of the owner of this face was not there. So pretty, "However, after leaving Jiangzhou for a few days, something like this happened. I don't know how Brother Ning is doing now."

"Young master, I don't think Mr. Ning is easy to bully, and he will be fine."

"If there is anything wrong, I have to see it with my own eyes." The man lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I have to go to Ningfu again tonight."

In the Bamboo Propaganda Hall, Ning Mo walked in with a food box, and saw Ning Yuan sitting at the stone table in the middle of the yard, with brushes, ink, paper and inkstone spread out on the table, as if he was painting.

He took a closer look, the rice paper was painted with light ink and plain color, and the painting was indeed a scene of mountains and clouds. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's going to be noisy outside, but you still have the leisure to paint these elegant things."

"Painting can calm the mind. Since I can't control other people's mouths, I can only calm my own heart." His Excellency Ning Yuan took a pen and sniffed, "Did you come from Shou'an Hall?"

Ning Mo nodded, "As the old lady wishes, I bring you some mung bean cakes." After finishing speaking, he opened the food box and brought out a stack of fragrant green pastries.

Ning Yuan glanced at the pastry and couldn't help smiling, "Grandmother is really considerate, the mung bean cake made by Shou'an Hall is the most exquisite in the whole house."

Ning Mo said: "Can't you see what grandma means?"

"Mung bean, clear the fire and calm down. Grandma asked you to bring mung bean cake. What's the meaning, but it's also for me to calm down and stop listening to the rumors outside." Ning Yuan picked up a piece of mung bean cake and stuffed it into his mouth, savoring it carefully He said with a smile: "This mung bean cake is really delicious, you should try it too."

"It's for you to calm down, but it didn't make you take it seriously." Ning Mo sat down beside him, "You can really eat it."

"What can I do if I don't eat it? Maybe I'll go outside and scold those people." Ning Yuan smiled again, "Besides, those people outside are just a few words, saying that my six relatives don't recognize me. Dead brother, he is a heartless and wicked person, they say it’s not annoying, but I’m tired of hearing it too, I don’t bother to care about it.”

"You really don't care about it at all?" Ning Mo raised her eyebrows, "Don't tell me you don't know who is making trouble behind this."

"Isn't it obvious that there are other people besides our virtuous and virtuous mother-in-law?" Ning Yuan finished eating a whole piece of mung bean cake, took another sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, and said, "I was still here. I doubt why the carriage will fall off the cliff on such a flat mountain road, but after the so-called suicide note came out, I fully understand that what the lady is planning is really a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, I am afraid that in the next few days , She also fanned the flames for me in front of my father and grandmother."

"You can rest assured about this. Since grandma can let me deliver things, it means that she still cares about you in her heart, but it's just on the father's side..."

"I heard that my father has been staying in Ruining Courtyard these days and nights, and the couple's ears will soften when they become deeply in love." Ning Yuan looked at Ning Mo, "I don't need to care about the rumors outside, anyway. I have heard a lot from the supervisor these days, but my father is the head of the family, so I have to care about his decision, do you know how my father plans to deal with me?"

"It's not necessary to use such powerful words as 'disposal'. It's just that I heard that the eldest lady always speaks to her father, saying that rumors are raging outside. Putting on a label of 'protection and connivance' will affect the official career, so even if it's just a show, you should punish you, the person who caused your brother to die, to quell the controversy."

"I thought she was so capable. Tossing and tossing is not an old trick we use to deal with Ning Ping'er, but she can learn and use it." Ning Yuan flicked his sleeves, and at this moment, The housekeeper brought two followers into the courtyard, bowed to Ning Yuan and Ning Mo one after another, and then said: "Third young master, the master wants you to go to the main hall."

Ning Yuan and Ning Mo looked at each other, and they both saw the look of "coming so soon" in each other's eyes. He didn't shirk, and handed over the half-painted landscape painting to Zhou Shi behind him to keep it away. Nodding to Ning Mo, she got up and followed the housekeeper.

In the main hall, apart from the servants, there were only Ning Ruhai, Shen Shi, and Yan Shi sitting there, half-drunk tea was placed on the table, it must be a temporary intention to call him over.Ning Yuan saluted respectfully, instead of going to the side to sit down, he stood still in the center of the main hall.

Ning Ruhai coughed lightly: "My father called you over, it's actually nothing serious, I just have a few questions I want to ask you."

Ning Yuan lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "Father, it's okay to ask."

Ning Ruhai coughed again, looked at Shen's face next to him calmly, and said: "The night your second brother and your aunt Liu left the house, did you go to meet your second brother?"

"It's true." Ning Yuan was also unambiguous, "As the younger brother, knowing that the second brother is going to leave the house, he always wants to give it away out of reason."

"Then did you really sneer at your second brother like the rumors outside?"

"Father, what you have said is 'rumours'. The so-called rumors are easy to spread. These groundless rumors cannot be trusted." Ning Yuan shook his head and denied.

"Then did someone else overhear the conversation between you?" Ning Ruhai asked again.

"Zhou Shi was by my side at the time." Ning Yuan replied, "But Zhou Shi was my personal attendant, so my father probably wouldn't believe his testimony."

Yan looked at Ning Yuan, then at Ning Ruhai, and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, because the rumors outside are too strong now, your father just wants to help you find out this matter, you should think about it carefully, except Except for your personal attendant, is it true that no one heard what you and your second brother talked about?"

"Mother should also know." Ning Yuan looked up at Yan Shi, "Second brother was sent out of the mansion for some reason. He left in an embarrassing way. No one in the whole mansion was willing to send him off. As a younger brother, I went to Sending off to each other is just trying to show brotherly friendship, but it has been misrepresented to this point, and I really feel very disappointed."

The corner of Yan's mouth was crooked, and it took him a while to maintain the smile on his mouth. On the surface, Ning Yuan said that he went to see him off for the sake of brotherhood, but secretly he was accusing them, parents, of not sending off their own children. Wouldn't it be absurd that it would be wrong to go there as a younger brother.

Yan could hear it, and so could Ning Ruhai and Shen, and Shen snorted coldly, "Yuan'er is right, we all know why Ning Xiang was sent out of the mansion, and now But it is unbelievable that Yuan'er should be charged with an unwarranted crime."

"But the official of the government office has the suicide note left by Xiang'er." Yan pressed her chest and made a sad expression, "Xiang'er did make a mistake. The master and the old lady punished him It should be, but as a mother, she didn't fulfill her duty of teaching well, and now she sees him dying so miserably, but she can't help him with anything, I really feel very uncomfortable." After finishing speaking, Yan wiped her face with a handkerchief Wiping the corners of his eyes, he sobbed twice.

"How do I hear what my daughter-in-law means, that she intends to avenge Ning Xiang and punish Ning Yuan for his faults?" Shen frowned and looked at Yan, "Not to mention whether Ning Yuan was at fault is yet to be determined, even if the relationship between their brothers There was indeed a little friction, but it was just a dispute between the children. Ning Xiang didn't cherish his life so much, so he just killed himself, but when he was alive, he didn't seek the well-being of his family and made many mistakes. The elder punished and left home. He thought about it for a few months before he could come back, but he killed himself because of it? This is not called using death to show his will, but using his own life to show the face of our elders! Leaving a suicide note from Lao Shizi and pouring dirty water on his younger brother, it is simply unrepentant, extremely abominable!"

No wonder Shen would be angry. Ning Xiang was suspected of murdering Ning Ruhai, so she had already poked her against the scales, and now the city is full of storms, all because of a suicide note "left" by Ning Xiang, because of his own selfish desires, and Letting the whole family be infamous is a great disobedience. In the eyes of Shen, Ning Xiang is still her grandson, she is simply a sinner of the entire Ning family, but now because of this "sinner", she is the only one who is in good health. Her grandson may be punished, so how can she not be angry or resentful.

"Madam, I am also thinking about our family. Now rumors are raging outside, and the common people are complaining about Xiang'er. Even if Yuan'er is wronged, the matter must be calmed down." Yan clutched her chest. , sadly said: "Yuan'er is also my child, how can I have the heart to punish him, but if I don't give an explanation, I'm afraid not only the reputation of the master, Yuan'er's reputation will also be ruined here!"

Ning Yuan looked at Yan Shi coldly, if he hadn't known her true temperament earlier, he would have thought that she was really heartbroken for these children this time.

"Old Madam, what Madam said is correct, no matter what, we must have an understanding of this matter, and we can't let the outside world go on like this." Ning Ruhai also said.

"End it? How do you want to end it? Is it possible that you really want to punish a child who has no fault at all?" Shen pointed at Ning Yuan incredulously, "You only have such a successful son now!
