“Besides,” he pursed his lips, the hope of living made him speak without thinking. “At your age, you’re already on the verge of death. Even if something really happens now, you’ll die of old age. If you let me stay, at least you’ll have someone to offer incense to you, right? Moreover, I’ve studied for so many years. I might be able to take the imperial examination again after I’m free. Wouldn’t you be relieved to know in the netherworld?’

“Bullsh*t!” Old Sir Ning roared and slapped Third Brother Ning. “Unfilial son!

You beast!”

Third Brother Ning was indeed as delicate and weak as he said. He saw stars from his father’s slap.

Ning Ansheng looked at them coldly and asked, “But what should we do? Little Aunt is making trouble because she wants to save Old Madam’s life.

Old Madam Ning immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, yes! Good daughter, I didn t dote on you for nothing!”

Ning Ansheng sighed. “Then…”

Old Sir Ning immediately interrupted, “No, Fengnian. You can’t choose this vicious woman!”

Afraid that Ning Ansheng would give away his hard-earned chance to live on impulse, Old Sir Ning quickly revealed something. “She’s the person who killed your biological mother!”

Old Madam Ning was stunned. She looked up at her husband in disbelief.

Old Sir Ning had already thrown caution to the wind. “Back then, your mother’s illness was strange and she died suddenly. However, I remember that the day she died, she died in the same manner as your second brother when he was poisoned. That poisonous grass was already tall when she married him!

Moreover, I clearly remember that your mother fell ill after this vicious woman came to our house!”

Ning Fengnian suddenly turned to look at Old Madam Ning. The latter seemed to see the King of Hell approaching step by step. She knew that Ning Fengnian definitely wouldn’t save her! Even if Xiao’e was crying and begging, it wouldn’t do. If this d*an old thing cut off her life, he wouldn’t have a good life either!

“If you hadn’t sweet-talked me and seduced me, I wouldn’t have done such a thing.”

“You’re the one who said that you couldn’t stand her prudeness long ago. You’re the one who said that you like my sluttyness. You’re also the one who said that you want to replace your wife with me whenever there’s a chance. Why? Shouldn’t you thank me for fulfilling your wish for you?”

“Don’t forget that you were in the bed with me on the day she died!

The more she spoke, the worse her words became. The hidden truth became dirtier and scarier. Ning Fengnian roared, “Enough!”

He looked at Old Madam Ning. “The hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable. Not to mention that I don’t have the ability to save you, even if I do, it’s impossible!”

After saying that, he looked at Old Sir Ning. “From today onwards, pretend that you don’t have me as your son. I won’t have you as my father either!

Third Brother Ning, who had recovered from Old Sir Ning’s slap, immediately got up impatiently. “Big Brother, Big Brother, compared to Father and Mother, I’m the most innocent one. Save me, save me!”

Ning Fengnian was speechless. “Don’t call me Big Brother. I don’t have parents now, let alone a younger brother. To me, you’re just the son of the enemy who killed my mother. So, why should I save you?”

Third Brother Ning was stunned on the spot. What Big Brother said seemed to be right. However, he had agreed to everything he asked for for so many years. Third Brother Ning was already used to it. “Anyway, you have to choose someone to save. It’s much better to choose me than them, right?”

When Old Sir Ning and Old Madam Ning heard this, they were naturally very unhappy. “What are you saying? You also know that your brother used to dote on you the most. Why didn’t you think about that when you stole his son’s name and impersonated him? You repay kindness with ingratitude. You’re even worse than us!”

Third Brother Ning looked at Ning Fengnian nervously and hurriedly retorted, “That’s just a bastard thing I did when I was young. It’s my fault for not being raised properly. To put it bluntly, isn’t it because you didn’t teach me well? Besides, I didn’t participate in your bullying and exploitation of the eldest branch later on!”

Old Madam Ning sneered. “You didn’t participate? Didn’t you spend the money we took from the eldest branch? Didn’t you eat the meat we bought at home? How do you think you’ve been eating, drinking, and reading all these years? Whose money did you get by casually buying brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone?”

Third Brother Ning was speechless. “B-but at least I didn’t take the initiative to harm them. I’m not like you, Mother. You harmed his biological mother and caused the death of the child in Big Sister-in-law’s stomach. Now, you even killed your own son. If an evil woman like you can get away with it, then the heavens really can’t see!”

He glanced at Old Sir Ning again. “Father, don’t pretend to be stupid. Don’t say that you don’t know what Mother has done all these years. Without your tacit approval, would she have done so much?

The three of them were engrossed in exposing each other for a moment and did not notice that the people around them were looking at them strangely. When they were tired of arguing and had no more words, Third Brother Ning turned around again and said, “Brother, Dalang, think carefully. How precious is His Majesty’s grace? Is it worth it to use it for these two people?

Ning Fengnian frowned and looked at his son. He had thought it through. If his son was soft-hearted this time, he would play the bad cop.

However, Ning Ansheng looked up at the three ugly people and squeezed out a smile slowly. “Of course it’s not worth it.”

With a smug smile, Third Brother Ning continued, “His Majesty’s grace is vast and mighty. If we still bargain, it will seem like we’re pushing our luck and don’t know who’s superior.”

Third Brother Ning felt that something was wrong. “What do you mean?”

Ning Ansheng stopped smiling. His cold expression actually had an aura that made the people in the old residence not dare to look at him directly. He said, -What I mean is that I have no intention of pleading with His Majesty on your behalf.”

“Ning! Da! Lang!”

Ning Ansheng interrupted their shouting. “I have a proper name. My name is Ning Ansheng.”

“No matter what reward His Majesty gives, it’s all because of the emperor’s vast kindness. We can’t, nor can we be arrogant just because we received the favor of the emperor. Moreover, are you worthy?”

“You killed my biological grandmother, caused my mother to miscarry, and even tried to kill my adopted sister. What do you think is wrong with me? It’s fine if I don’t kick you when you’re down, but I actually have to save you?

He cupped his hands at the county magistrate who had just appeared. “The officials will decide what punishment you should receive. The county magistrate is fair and strict and will naturally deal with it impartially. Are you ignoring the officials or looking down on the law by causing trouble again and again? It’s no wonder that such an insensible person treats human lives as grass and etiquette and integrity as nothing.”

“If people like you can escape the punishment of the law, won’t those villains who kill and rob others in the future be treated the same? How can the commoners live in peace in the long run? How can Great Xia be stable?”

How did it rise to such a height all of a sudden? Third Brother Ning was confused. He couldn’t understand the deeper meaning in his big nephew’s words, but he understood one thing—they had been tricked!

Ning Dalang was deliberately lying to them, giving them hope for survival and then provoking them to frame each other. Now, the commoners who were gathered by his younger sister did not become their help.. Instead, they became witnesses to prove their crimes…
