The Return of the Demon

As soon as Ning Ziming returned home, he heard the noise in the west courtyard, so he came to take a look.

But when he saw Ning Chen, who was unconscious with a bruised nose and swollen face, his expression suddenly changed.

A chill ran down Ning Ziming's tail bone and rushed to the back of his head, making him dizzy.

Emperor Xuan had just warned him to treat Ning Chen kindly, but now that something like this happened, wouldn't it cost him his life?

If Emperor Xuan comes to know about this matter, not only him, but everyone here will not be able to think about it.

"Father, you are finally back... This Ning Chen is getting more and more outrageous. He injured his second brother's head two days ago, and today he stole his elder brother's money."

"We came to confront him, but he not only refused to admit it, but also hurt others... Look at my arms, they were all bitten by him."

"Father, you have to make the decision for me!"

Ning Mao immediately cried and complained that he had used this trick many times and it always worked.

But this time his trick didn't work. Ning Ziming turned around and slapped him hard on the face.

Ning Mao couldn't stand still and fell directly to the ground.

Ning Gan was stunned.

A group of servants were also shocked.

Ning Mao felt a burning pain on his face. He covered his face and looked at Ning Ziming in disbelief... He couldn't believe that his father would beat him?

"You bastards, you bastards... You are so cruel to me, my blood relatives. How could I give birth to such a vicious son like yours?"

Ning Ziming's fingers trembled in anger, and he pointed at Ning Mao and cursed.

When he thought about the consequences of Emperor Xuan knowing about this matter, he couldn't help but kicked Ning Mao again.

Ning Gan looked stunned and even wondered if his father had taken the wrong medicine.

"Father, calm down! We are not to blame for this matter. It was Ning Chen who stole first and then hurt others. Look at these servants and the third brother's arms. They are all Ning Chen..."

Ning Gan's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Before he could finish speaking, Ning Ziming stepped forward and slapped him hard.

The Ninggan people were all stunned, covering their faces and their eyes were dull.

His father dotes on him the most. He has never touched him since he was a child. Today, he beat him because of Ning Chen?

"Bastard, bastard...you're such a bastard, you're still quibbling? Do you want to die?"

Ning Ziming roared.

Emperor Xuan had just warned him, but in the blink of an eye Ning Chen was beaten until he fainted. This was a knowing and deliberate act to provoke Tianwei.

If Emperor Xuan is angry, Prime Minister Zuo will not be able to protect him.

"You evil slaves, how dare you attack your master? Well, well...does this family have any rules left?"

"Come here, take these evil slaves down here, give each of them thirty sticks, and drive them out of the house."

Ning Ziming was furious.

"Master, have mercy!"

"Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me..."

"Eldest Young Master, save me, Eldest Young Master, save me..."

The few servants who had just taken action were so frightened that they knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Thirty sticks is easy to say, but not many people can bear it.

Those Xing sticks are all made of solid wood, with uneven tops... let alone thirty, it would be pretty good if an ordinary person could withstand ten sticks.

Thirty sticks, either death or serious injury.

A group of servants rushed in from outside the courtyard.

The servants who attacked Ning Chen were dragged down.

"Come here, carry Ning Chen to the east wing quickly. Also, find the doctor immediately. Go quickly!"

The east wing is where the owner should live, and the west courtyard is where the lower ones live.

Ning Chen was carried away.

Ning Gan and Ning Mao covered their faces and looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.

"Brother, is father crazy? Why would he turn towards Ning Chen, a bastard?"

"Father just beats me, but he always loves his eldest brother the most, and he even beats you?"

Ning Gan also had a question mark on his forehead at this time.

He even wondered if this father was fake?

"Father wouldn't do this for no reason? There must be a reason... Let's go and find mother!"

"Brother, my arm hurts."

"Hold on, just let mother see."

The brothers covered their faces and went to find Chang Ruyue.

...

In the east wing, Ning Chen was still in a coma.

"Doctor, is my son okay?"

The doctor leaned over and bowed, "Mr. Ning, the young master's condition is not very optimistic. He can be cured for his external injuries, but he has two broken ribs and will have to recover for a while."

"Also, the young master has been malnourished for a long time and is weak in energy and body. I am afraid that the recovery time will be longer than that of ordinary people."

Ning Ziming frowned.

"Doctor, we must try our best to treat him and use the best medicine."

The doctor nodded, "Don't worry, Mr. Ning, I will do my best to treat you. I will write out the prescription in a moment. Please, Mr. Ning, please send someone with me to get the medicine."

"However, Mr. Ning is weak in energy and body. He must replenish his body during this period. This will be of great benefit to his recovery from injuries."

Ning Ziming nodded and told the steward of the Ning Mansion beside him: "Steward Wu, you and the doctor will go get the medicine in person later."

"yes!"

Butler Wu is a fat man with fair skin. He has been in Ning Mansion for a long time and has Ning Ziming's trust.

But at this time, Butler Wu also had a question mark on his forehead, why did the master suddenly treat Ning Chen so well?

Ning Ziming added: "By the way, tell the kitchen to choose a good old hen, stew the soup and deliver it."

"Yes, sir!"

Ning Ziming thought for a while and said again: "Also, let me inform you. If anyone dares to spread the word about today's events, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Doctor, please keep today's matters confidential."

The doctor hurriedly leaned over and bowed, "Don't worry, Master Ning, I understand!"

Ning Ziming rubbed his brows, he must not let Emperor Xuan know about this matter, otherwise he, the minister, would be in trouble.

At the same time, Chang Ruyue was leading the Ning Gan brothers towards the east wing.

After Ning Gan and Ning Mao went back, they told the story in a more embellished way!

Although Chang Ruyue was full of doubts, she couldn't bear it anymore when she saw the slap marks on Ning Gan and Ning Mao's faces, and the fact that a piece of meat was almost bitten off Ning Mao's arm.

She must ask Ning Ziming to find out.

Ning Ziming got even more headache when he saw Chang Ruyue.

If Chang Ruyue is just her wife, is it okay? But Chang Ruyue is still the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and it is thanks to Zuo Xiang that he is in the position he is in today.

"Master, I don't understand. It was Ning Chen who stole first and hurt others later. The fault is entirely his... Even if the master wants to protect him, he can't do it indiscriminately, right?"

"Look at Mao'er's arm. He almost bit off a piece of flesh. He is your biological son. Don't you feel bad for him?"

Chang Ruyue complained, tears falling down.

As a smart woman, she knew not to act too strong. It was better to play the emotional card while questioning and pretend to be weak.

"Madam, it's not what you think. Do you know..."

The words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.

He remembered Emperor Xuan's words that no fourth person was allowed to know about today's conversation.

Although Emperor Xuan was known as a benevolent king, he never showed mercy when it was time to strike.

Last year, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance got drunk and leaked Emperor Xuan's words. As a result, everyone in the family was copied and executed.

Ning Ziming is in trouble now.

"Madam, I still don't understand many things... You take Mao'er down to bandage it first. Will you understand why I did this later?"

"I can only tell you now that Ning Chen's life and death is related to the survival of my Ning family."

Chang Ruyue, mother and son, were shocked when they heard this.
