The Return of the Demon

"Second brother, are you just going to let this bastard go?"

Ning Mao stared at Ning Chen's back and said viciously.

Ning Xing said: "What has Father not known recently? His attitude toward Ning Chen suddenly changed drastically. If we hurt Ning Chen, we will be scolded by Father if we fail to protect him."

"The most important thing is that big brother will take the palace exam tomorrow, so don't affect him."

Ning Mao nodded, touched the cloak on his body, and asked doubtfully: "Where do you think this bastard got this cloak? This collar should be furry."

The fox's fur is a small piece under the fox's neck. It is the warmest, very precious and expensive.

Ning Xing snorted coldly, "He must have stolen from others. A bastard is a bastard and lacks discipline. He made a living by begging before he was found. Petty theft is normal."

On the other side, Ning Chen sent Uncle Chai to the door of the house.

He quietly gave Uncle Chai four taels of silver and kept one tael for himself in case of emergency.

"Fourth Young Master, this...I can't have this."

"Take it, if you don't want it, I'm going to be angry!"

Uncle Chai declined several times, but in the end he couldn't resist Ning Chen and had no choice but to accept it.

"Fourth Young Master, I'm not here. You must protect yourself from now on and don't conflict with them. You won't get any advantage."

Ning Chen nodded, "I know, don't worry, Uncle Chai... When I leave Ning Mansion and have my own place to live, I can invite Uncle Chai back."

"Okay, this old slave is waiting for you, Fourth Young Master, and I will serve you in the future!"

Uncle Chai turned back three times in one step and left reluctantly.

Ning Chen felt empty and returned to Ning Mansion.

At the same time, Ning Ziming also came out of the palace.

His face was pale and his whole body was cold.

Fortunately, Emperor Xuan just scolded him and didn't punish him too much.

The carriage is not far from the palace gate.

When Butler Wu saw Ning Ziming coming out, he came up to him with a face full of hospitality. Seeing that Ning Ziming's expression was wrong, he asked worriedly: "Master, are you okay?"

Ning Ziming said nothing, got on the carriage and asked Butler Wu to return home quickly.

He is still frightened, his legs are weak, and his whole body is cold.

Ning Mansion, Ning Mao is showing off his cloak to Chang Ruyue.

Chang Ruyue's face was full of joy and she couldn't help but praise: "It looks so good...my son is getting better and better now!"

"Your father told you not to embarrass Ning Chen...but you must not keep this bastard. The Ning family belongs to you three brothers."

"So, when dealing with Ning Chen in the future, you have to use your brains and not act recklessly... You did a good job this time."

Ning Mao became more and more proud.

At this moment, a servant came to report that Ning Ziming was back.

Chang Ruyue hurriedly got up and went to the door to greet her.

Ning Ziming has arrived at the yard.

After entering the house, Chang Ruyue noticed that Ning Ziming's face was pale and his eyes were frightened.

"Master, are you okay?"

While talking, he quickly poured a cup of tea for Ning Ziming.

After returning home, Ning Ziming felt more at ease.

"Is Ning Chen back?"

Seeing Ning Ziming asking Ning Chen as soon as he came back, a sinister look flashed in Chang Ruyue's eyes.

The master has become more and more attracted to Ning Chen recently, and he refused to tell me why. If this continues, how can there be room for their mother and son in the Ning Mansion? Therefore, we must find a way to get rid of Ning Chen... Chang Ruyue thought viciously in her heart.

But his face remained calm and his tone was very gentle: "Don't worry, sir, he's back... I just asked someone to stew chicken soup and send it to him."

Ning Ziming nodded with satisfaction, feeling that Chang Ruyue was really his good wife.

"By the way, starting from tomorrow, Uncle Chai will be transferred to serve Ning Chen."

Chang's mother and son's expressions changed.

Chang Ruyue's eyes flickered and said, "Master, Uncle Chai has left Ning Mansion."

"What? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"

"Master, don't be anxious... Uncle Chai wants to leave on his own. He is old and has inconvenient legs and feet. He wants to leave on his own, and I can't stop him. I can only let him go. He will leave this afternoon. "

Ning Ziming frowned, "Didn't you drive him away?"

Ning Mao said hurriedly: "Father, it's really Uncle Chai who wants to leave... Mother tried to persuade him to stay, but he insisted on leaving."

"Before leaving, my mother gave him some more money."

Ning Ziming glanced at Ning Mao, sighed, lowered his head and took a sip of tea... Suddenly, he froze and looked up at Ning Mao.

Why does the cloak on Ning Mao look so familiar to him?

Ning Ziming tried hard to recall where he had seen this cloak?

Suddenly, his face turned as pale as paper, his whole body began to tremble, his hands shook so much, and the tea cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

He stood up and stared at Ning Mao, "Where did you get this big cloak?"

Ning Mao felt guilty for a while and looked at Chang Ruyue hurriedly.

Chang Ruyue said with a smile: "Master, what's wrong with you? You scared Mao'er... It's cold. I had someone buy this cloak for Mao'er."

Ning Ziming tried to calm down.

He stared at Ning Mao, "Come here!"

Ning Mao came to Ning Ziming with some fear.

Ning Ziming stared at the cloak on his body. The more he looked at it, the paler his face became. In the end, there was no trace of blood at all.

He knew this cloak. It was presented to His Majesty by the Minister of War. It was said that hundreds of embroiderers worked day and night and it took a month to make it.

At that time, the Minister of War was still showing off to him.

Moreover, he had only seen Emperor Xuan pass through it a few days ago.

And now, this cloak actually appeared on his son.

If it was not granted by the emperor, wearing the clothes of His Majesty without permission would be tantamount to rebellion.

Ning Ziming was so scared that his soul almost flew away.

"Take it off quickly!"

Ning Ziming's forehead was sweating, and he screamed in a low voice.

At the same time, he walked over quickly, evacuated all the servants in the yard, and closed the door.

Ning Mao was frightened by Ning Ziming's behavior and quickly took off the cloak.

Ning Ziming returned, with veins jumping on his forehead, "Kneel down!"

Ning Mao was so scared that he fell to his knees on the ground.

Ning Ziming looked at Ning Xing, "You also kneel down!"

Ning Xing looked at Chang Ruyue with a wronged face.

Although Chang Ruyue didn't understand, she saw that Ning Ziming was angry and signaled Ning Xing to kneel down as well.

After Ning Xing knelt down, Ning Ziming held the cloak in both hands, and asked word by word with great seriousness: "Tell me, where did this cloak come from?"

Ning Mao and Ning Xing looked at Chang Ruyue, asking for help with their eyes.

"Master, what's wrong with you? This cloak is mine..."

"Shut up, you're still lying... ignorant woman, do you know how serious this matter is?"

Chang Ruyue was stunned by the shouting, and her eyes suddenly turned red. This is her common trick.

"Master, I don't know what my mother and I did wrong? When you came back, your nose was not a nose, and your eyes were not eyes... Is this mansion really unable to accommodate my mother and son?"

Ning Ziming's chest rose and fell violently with anger, and he could only lower his voice and roar: "Ignorant woman, what do you know? This matter concerns the safety of my Ning Mansion... Tell me quickly, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for killing my relatives for the sake of justice, and hand you two over to the Kyoto government for interrogation."
