bastard returns

Perhaps the Ning family's nuns are all in the same line - at least from Ning Yuan's point of view, it is true. When he was in Ningfu, Jiangzhou in the early years, the nuns in the ancestral hall were notoriously powerful. This reputation applies But it was also difficult to go to Ningguo Duke's Mansion in the capital, because there was not even time for a cup of tea, and the things that were taught to make the maid spit out had already filled a piece of paper, which was different from the dying maid who had been tossed to death. was brought up.

"Have you spit out everything you need to vomit?" Wu Shi took the paper, glanced at it, and immediately showed an angry expression, but she didn't jump as before, but changed hands and handed the paper to Ning Guogong said, "Master, you can see for yourself."

Ning Guogong frowned, read the confession on the paper carefully, and asked the confession to be forwarded to Jing Zhaoyin for review, and said to the maid: "Is everything written on it true? "

"Slave, this is all I know about this." The maid's voice was full of tears, "Madam just asked me to help him find someone, and this servant just obeyed orders. As for the rest, this servant also doesn't know anything about it."

"Ning Huayang, what else can you deny?" Mrs. Wu sternly shouted at Ning Huayang: "Now this girl has admitted that she was instructed by your daughter-in-law to go to those gangsters. Chu, do you still want to deny that this is a false accusation!"

With a gloomy expression, Ning Huayang took a step forward and took the confession from Jing Zhaoyin's hand, looked at it hastily, then his expression changed, and he turned angrily to look at Rong behind him.

"Husband, I don't have a concubine! I don't have a concubine!" Rong Shi was already paralyzed from fright, and she was counting on Ning Huayang to save her. Now that she saw Ning Huayang's expression, she didn't have time to think about it. Climbed down and hugged Ning Huayang's leg and shook violently, "My husband saved me, I never let those people attack Zhongkun, no matter how stupid I am, why would I do such a thing? You have to believe in the concubine, believe in the concubine!"

"No!?" Ning Huayang slammed the maid's confession onto her face, "Then what's going on with this thing!"

"This...I..." Rong Shi got stuck for a moment. Ever since the maid was recognized by Treasurer Qian, Rong Shi also understood that she couldn't resist this matter, but how could she admit that Ning Zhongkun had already After turning into that appearance, do you want her to say that she never thought of attacking Ning Zhongkun, but just wanted to punish Ning Yuan, how could those hooligans mistaken people, even if she Speaking out, those gangsters have already run away. Will others believe her one-sided words?

What's more, if someone asked her, what kind of quarrel does she have with a commoner like Ning Yuan, as a wife of an official, to use this method, how should she answer?She couldn't say that it was because Ning Yuan and Ning Zhongkun got close, and she was eager to cut off Ning Zhongkun's wings for the sake of her husband's status as the son.

Rong's dilemma is neither right nor wrong, and he can only look at Ning Huayang with tears in his eyes, repeating, "I'm wronged, I'm wronged, my husband save me!"

"Save you? Do you think he can get you?" Wu said with a sneer, "Second daughter-in-law, you are a housewife, why did you suddenly attack Zhongkun? I would never believe it if you join forces to make trouble. I advise you to act honestly. Since you are not the principal offender, maybe I will help you to plead with Mr. Jing Zhaoyin and ask him to forgive me. Don't be too harsh. you."

Ning Huayang's face turned pale with fright. Mrs. Wu made up her mind to put this matter on him, saying that Mrs. Rong was instigated by him?

"Father, I really don't know anything about this matter. Father believes me!" Ning Huayang didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly defended Ning Guogong. The situation is already very unfavorable to them. If Ning Guogong believed Wu Shi again , then the image of Chen Ken's filial piety that he has managed for so many years will be destroyed immediately.

But Ning Guogong didn't speak, just frowned, and looked at Ning Huayang fixedly, that gaze made him feel chills in his heart, he knew that Ning Guogong must already be suspicious, after all, the facts are so obvious now, Under the testimony of repeated witnesses, it is already a certainty that Rong's involvement in today's incident is a certainty, and it is clear that Ning Zhongkun's disaster will benefit most from him, Ning Huayang, and he and Rong are husband and wife , it will naturally make people think that all this is just what he instructed Rong to do.

Ning Huayang looked down at Rong Shi's face. Although Rong Shi was still defending herself, her voice became smaller and smaller. She was obviously frightened, her face was covered with snot and tears, which made her not very pretty at first. His face looked even uglier.

Although this woman is his wife, besides lusting for vanity, what else does she know.Ning Huayang thought that he would marry her at the beginning, but because she was honest and timid by nature, would obey his orders, and would not spoil his affairs. Otherwise, with Ning Huayang's background, why would those officials and eunuchs Daughters don't want it, why marry the daughter of a hotel owner who wants status but no status and looks?

It's just that after following me for these years, with the improvement of my status, this woman has gradually changed. The original honesty and timidity have become vanity and arrogance. The only thing that has not changed is stupidity.Ning Huayang didn't know that this woman took the wrong medicine to cause this incident. He only knew that if he continued to entangle with this woman, one day her stupidity would harm him.

Thinking of this, the face of Rong who kept begging for mercy became more and more disgusting in his eyes. Suddenly, he raised his foot and kicked Rong's shoulder. Rong was caught off guard and kicked out A full half a zhang away, his head hit the foot of the mahogany chair in the hall, and the skin was torn, and blood flowed half of his face.

But Mrs. Rong didn't seem to feel the pain, she just lay there and looked up at Ning Zhongkun in a daze, her lips trembling: "Sir..."

"Shut up, I don't have a vicious wife like you!" Without waiting for Rong to speak, Ning Huayang started to shout and curse, "Zhongkun is the only son left by my elder brother. My elder brother has been kind to me since I was a child. After my eldest brother passed away, I swore to take good care of his two children, but now because of you, a stupid woman, look what Zhong Kun has become!" Ning Huayang scolded, as if he was still angry , stepped forward and waved his hands left and right, and gave Rong two slaps.

The wound on Rong's face that was hit by Wu before hadn't fully healed, and now he was hit by Ning Huayang twice, and suddenly showed signs of swelling, "Sir, why..." She looked at Ning Huayang. He stammered and said: "This concubine will do this for you, no matter what this concubine does, it is all for your husband!"

"That's enough, you put me in such an unkind, unrighteous and unfilial place, and you still say it's for me? As an elder, but you have such a vicious hand on the junior, I think you are not only vicious, but also devoid of conscience. If you keep people like you by your side, you will completely destroy my fame throughout my life, and I am afraid that the whole Ning family will also be defeated by you alone!"

Rong Shi was really frightened this time, and stammered, "Msgrand...you...what do you mean..."

"Housekeeper, bring a pen and paper!" Ning Huayang ignored her, "I want to divorce this poisonous woman!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the room was shocked.

"Lord Ning, please think again." Jing Zhaoyin was watching the excitement, but when he suddenly saw Ning Huayang making such a fuss, he couldn't help persuading: "Master Ning and his wife have always been deeply in love with each other, and they even have a concubine for so many years. I don't even have a room, I see that Madam just made a mistake on a temporary errand, why did she get into a situation where she divorced her wife?

"Hmph, since she was so conscientious and wanted to be unfavorable to Zhong Kun, I have broken up with her!" Ning Huayang shouted again, "Housekeeper, hurry up and get the pen and paper!"

Seeing Ning Huayang's insistence, Jing Zhaoyin could only shake his head helplessly, thinking in his heart, where did this come from?

Ning Huayang naturally had his own ideas. Rong Shi did such a stupid thing, and Wu Shi was aggressive there. If she hesitated for a moment, she would definitely be caught by Wu Shi and chased and beat her all the way. Her identity is anyway It is my aunt, if I want to take the opportunity to punish myself at that time, if Ning Guogong ignores me, I will suffer disaster in all likelihood, so I can only act first, before she starts to embarrass myself, everything will be done. push out.

After all, he was right, this was originally a moth created by Rong Shi, he was kept in the dark, and Rong Shi can only bear the responsibility alone, a letter of divorce can not only make himself and herself Rong's drawing a clear line and showing his innocence can also highlight his love for Ning Zhongkun, making it appear that Ning Huayang is a loving and righteous person.

Anyway, he has seen enough of Rong's old face over the years. Instead of tearing his face up when he wants to marry a new wife when he becomes the Duke of the State, he might as well just kick it off now.

"Looking at it this way, the second daughter-in-law really did this alone. You don't know the slightest bit?" Wu Shi also didn't expect Ning Huayang to be so straightforward, and said calmly.

"If I knew about it, I would absolutely not tolerate her doing such stupid things!" Ning Huayang took the pen handed over by the butler angrily, gesticulated on the paper for a while, and finally signed his name, picked it up and threw it on the paper. On Rong's face, he said coldly: "From today onwards, I will make a clean break with you and have nothing to do with you!"

Wu looked at this scene strangely, did Ning Huayang really want to divorce Rong by doing this in front of Jing Zhaoyin?Anyway, the matter of those two people has nothing to do with me, and I am happy to watch them dog-eat-dog, but what makes Wu Shi strange is Ning Guogong, the matter of divorcing his wife can be big or small, not to mention that Rong is still the biological mother of Ning Huayang's two children Well, now that Ning Huayang has even written the letter of divorce, Duke Ning still doesn't say a word, which is too abnormal.

Wu turned her eyes sideways, and carefully looked at the expression on Ning Guogong's face, only to find that Ning Guogong's eyes didn't stay on Ning Huayang, and he didn't even care about what Ning Huayang was doing. Leaving Ning Huayang, he landed in the corner of the hall.

Standing there was a young man in a blue gown, with his back straight and his head slightly lowered. His jet-black hair was tied behind his head with a blue ribbon, and only two strands were hanging down softly from his temples. Putting it on the shoulder, it looks very warm and moist like jade.

When Ning Huayang finished writing Xiu and threw it on Rong's face, Ning Guogong turned his face, looked at this couple who seemed to be singing an opera, and finally opened his mouth, but he didn't try to persuade him to fight, but said: "Since it's a matter between your husband and wife, you can handle it however you want, just one thing, I don't want to see Zhong Kun's injury today again." Immediately, he slowly He said to Jing Zhaoyin: "Please, my lord, take a trip, but since the investigation is now a matter of my Ningfu's family, please leave it to us to handle it ourselves."

"It should be, it should be, Lord Guo, don't mind." Jing Zhaoyin couldn't sit down for a long time, and when he heard what Ning Guogong said, he immediately got up and said: "It's getting late, since the matter has been investigated clearly, then The next officer said goodbye."

"Your Excellency, let's go." Ning Guogong and Wu Shi both stood up and watched Jing Zhaoyin go all the way outside the house. As witnesses, Wang San and Qian Treasurer were also taken out by Jing Zhaoyin. Apart from Ning Yuan and the family members of Ning Mansion, there are no outsiders here.

"No! You can't do this to me!" Only then did Rong seem to react, screaming and roaring at Ning Huayang: "I don't do everything for you, how can you treat me like this?" Divorce! I have been your wife for so many years and gave birth to you two sons, how could you do this to me!"

"You have done a lot of unrighteousness and entrapped your family. Do you still want to stay here again? If Lie'er and Yi'er knew about it, they would feel ashamed to have a mother like you who entrapped their brothers." Ning Huayang flicked his sleeves. , coldly said: "You have received my divorce letter, and now you have nothing to do with my Ning family. I will give you enough money, and you can go out of the house tonight!"

"I haven't done that kind of thing, I haven't done that kind of thing, you can't divorce me! You can't divorce me!" Seeing Ning Huayang's firm attitude, Rong scrambled forward and threw Ning Guogong and Wu shi down At the foot, "Father and mother, my daughter-in-law has been diligently serving the two of you these years and has fulfilled her filial piety. Is it true that because of a small mistake, she will drive me away like this despite the fact that I am the biological mother of Lie'er and Yi'er?" !"

"Second daughter-in-law, it's not us who want to drive you away, but your husband-in-law." Wu said nonchalantly: "Although I am an elder, it is inconvenient for me to interfere with the younger generation's housework, let alone you murdering the grandson of the mansion. Both the Yu family law and the criminal law are serious crimes, but to divorce your wife without handing you over to Jing Zhaoyin is already extra merciful." After speaking, Wu looked at Ning Huayang again, with a smirk on his face. He said with a smile: "Looking at it this way, I really misunderstood you. I didn't expect you to value Zhongkun so much. Because of him, you can even give up your own wife. Zhongkun has an uncle like you. It's true that Zhongkun has been cultivated for eight lifetimes." luck."

Ning Huayang hastily bowed and said yes, as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm and suspicion in Wu's words, he turned his head and pointed at Rong and said to the housekeeper, "What are you waiting for, take him away quickly."

With a troubled expression, the butler greeted two servants to pull Rong Shi out. It was only then that Rong Shi finally realized that all of this was true, that he was really divorced, and those sweet dreams he had before, The dreams of the Duke and Madam, the dreams of the wealthy and nobles, and the dreams that everyone admired were all shattered into pieces like a dream in a mirror. No, she was not willing to do so. That day has not yet arrived, but she has already become an abandoned child, she is not reconciled, how can she be reconciled!

"I'm not leaving!" She shook off the butler's hand, the blood on her forehead had already solidified, and she looked a little gloomy with her anger mixed with a ferocious expression at the moment, she staggered up from the ground, stretched her fingers Watching Ning Huayang scolded: "Ning Huayang, don't forget what you told me before! If you dare to divorce me, I will immediately..." Before she could finish speaking, Ning Huayang had already He rushed forward and covered her mouth, completely cutting off the second half of her sentence in her throat.

"You still dare to talk nonsense in front of your parents, you are really a crazy woman!" Covering her mouth forcefully, Ning Huayang ignored Rong's angry eyes, and suddenly knocked on the back of her neck, and Rong rolled his eyes Turned over and passed out.

"This crazy woman looks really crazy, she made the elders laugh." Ning Huayang bowed to Ning Guogong and Wu Shi with a smile, and pushed the person in his arms to the butler, signaling the butler to take her away immediately. He left, and then said: "I don't know how Zhong Kun is doing now, I want to go see him again."

"Since Imperial Physician Zheng said that he can't die, I don't need to bother you to go see it." Wu Shi immediately refused, "When Zhong Kun can get out of bed, you can see it yourself, so it's better to avoid it now, so as not to save Zhong Kun. Kun became a real cripple because of seeing you, so what's the matter." Wu's words really didn't save Ning Huayang at all, so he stood up, brushed his sleeves, and said to Ning Guo: "I'll go to Zhong Kun is watching by the bed, do you want to go with me, Master?"

"No need." Ning Guogong also stood up with a cane. Wu nodded, thinking that Ning Guogong was going back to the bedroom or study, and wanted to send him there first, but which Ning Guogong pointed at Ning Yuan in the corner and said : "You come with me."

Ning Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head with a puzzled face.

From the very beginning, Ning Yuan was thinking about finding an opportunity to leave. After all, most of the show was over, and most of his goal had been achieved.He thought that he was the least noticeable since he had been shrinking in the corner, but he didn't know that Duke Ning would actually target him at this moment.

It was only then that Wu Shi noticed that Ning Yuan was still standing here. She glanced at Ning Guogong for some reason, thought about it, and left without asking any further questions.

Ning Huayang also looked at Ning Yuan, seeing that he was really walking out behind Ning Guogong, after thinking about it, he also followed, but before he left the house, Ning Guogong suddenly turned his head and said to him: " You don't have to come, just do what you have to do."

Ning Huayang was taken aback, and immediately bowed and said yes.

Ning Guogong walked slowly all the way with a cane, but there was no one to help him. Ning Yuan thought about whether to go forward to help him, but after thinking about it carefully, he was an outsider after all. In order not to let others I felt that I was too obsequious and there was no need to join in the fun of some things, so I just followed behind so leisurely.

The two slowly circled from the front yard to the back yard, passed through a garden with a small bridge and flowing water, and finally stopped in front of an elegant attic.

The attic is not big, and it has a bookish atmosphere. There are only two or three servants inside. Seeing that Ning Guogong came back, they immediately opened the door. After sitting down on one of the grand master's chairs in the room, all the servants retreated out, and even closed the door, leaving the whole room to him and Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan took a glance at the layout of the room. The room was very similar to Ning Ruhai's study, but it was much larger. In addition to the rows of bookshelves, there was also a wall to hang several portraits. Ning Guogong's His gaze stayed on one of the portraits, and he stared at the person in the portrait for a long time by the flickering candlelight in the room, then turned his face and set his eyes on Ning Yuan's face, suddenly Suddenly spit out four words: "It's really similar."

"My lord, I don't quite understand what you mean." Ning Yuan saluted respectfully.

"Come closer and look at the person in the portrait." Ning Guogong stretched out his hand, pointed at the portrait he just looked at, and motioned Ning Yuan to take a closer look.

Ning Yuan walked over, and when he got close, he saw clearly that it was a portrait of a person. In the portrait, the young man in a white shirt was fluttering, holding a book in his hand, and was studying carefully while standing under a willow tree. Then, the painter who drew this portrait was very skilled, and he completely portrayed the expression in the young man's brows, and Ning Yuan found that his handsome appearance was [-]% similar to himself.

But this is certainly not his own portrait.Ning Yuan moved his eyes to the signing place of the portrait, only to realize that it was already a painting 50 years ago, and the artist who signed it was named Ning Quan.

"This is my father's authentic painting." Ning Guogong said at this time, "The person in the painting is my brother, in other words, also your grandfather."

"Grandfather?" Ning Yuan repeated in a low voice. Ning Yuan is very unfamiliar with the word "grandfather", because as far as he knows about the history of his family, before Ning Ruhai left the capital, his grandfather was already a wisp of The dead soul is dead, and it is said that the cause of death is... Ning Yuan thought of this, and took another look at Ning Guogong.

Ning Guogong suddenly laughed, "Are you thinking in your heart, how can I, the guy who pissed off your grandfather to death for fighting for power, have the nerve to let you see this portrait?"

"The villain dare not." Even though he knew that Ning Guogong was probably joking, Ning Yuan still pretended to salute in fear.

"It's okay even if you really think so, because it's true after all." Unexpectedly, Ning Guogong said it so calmly, "I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye. Time flies, and it is really merciless."

Ning Yuan was a little inexplicable for a while, and Ning Guogong suddenly called him here, maybe it was just to express his feelings with him.
