Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

Although General Xiao did not mind that Xiaoxiao still treated them as family, they all knew in their hearts that the precious girl they had watched grow up would walk towards a wider world in the future. They had no intention of restraining her, but they were still a little disappointed.

The appearance of the child gave them comfort and anticipation. It would be great if it was a girl like Xiaoxiao.

Madam Song knew Little Aunt Ning’s behavior. After thinking about it, she still couldn’t feel at ease with her husband’s soft heart.

Ning Fengnian was helpless but couldn’t refute. At this moment, Ning Ansheng, who had been in the house for half a day, walked out. “I’ll go with

Father.”

Madam Song immediately rolled down her sleeves. “Then I’ll cook for you at

home.”

Ning Fengnian:… Was he that worrying? Was he inferior to his son?

Ning Ansheng had always been a calm person. Now that he had a scholarly aura on him, he was wearing the new clothes that Xiaoxiao had prepared for him before she left. When he walked out, he attracted all kinds of gazes.

“Which family’s young master is this? He’s too good-looking.

“It’s not just good-looking. Look at his imposing manner. One look and you can tell that he’s a scholar.”

“I think he must have been born well. One look and you can tell that he’s a rich young master raised by a rich family!”

“You know so much at a glance?”

Ning Fengnian suddenly understood the meaning of his son coming with him. There was a congestion beside the guillotine. The bailiffs were annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.

“Shopkeeper Lei, Young Master Lei, why do the two of you have to get involved?” The commoners were fine, but the Lei Family was powerful and had countless connections with the Yan Family. Previously, when Lord Yan Lu committed a crime and was punished by the Emperor, they thought that the Yan Family would restrain themselves. They did not expect… Sigh, but why did they get involved in the Ning Family’s matters?

Shopkeeper Lei and Lei Shaoming chuckled. It was at such a time that they could not tarnish the Yan Family’s reputation. Otherwise, wouldn’t it make them look afraid? They could not afford to lose face, let alone the Yan Family. Even Xiao Ran, that martial artist, was eager to express goodwill to the Yan Family. Who did the Ning Family think they were?

Before, without the support of the General’s Residence, the Ning Family dared to use the courage given by County Magistrate Shen to go against the Lei Family. Now, Xiao Ran’s wild girl wanted to enter the East Palace and Shen Congjun was impeached by the officials.

They wanted the Ning Family to know that even if they knew the General’s Residence, they were still nothing in the eyes of the Lei Family!

Others might not know, but they knew that the Ning Family had been rewarded with the best quality land and money by the palace because they had raised the lost child for the General’s Residence. Hmph, those short-sighted people might be so smug now. It was a good opportunity to kill their drive and let them see their status.

Little Aunt Ning glanced at the tall and well-dressed Lei Shaoming and squeezed out a look that she thought was enchanting and beautiful. “Young Master Lei, do you think I’m good at it?”

Lei Shaoming retreated and avoided her blatantly. “Continue making a scene. I believe your ‘good¹ brother will come.

Little Aunt Ning giggled shyly, but she did not know that her hoarse voice was only disgusting to Young Master Lei who was a frequent guest of the brothel. She thought that she had finally found a good person and swaggered to find trouble with the bailiffs.

The bailiffs were simply aggrieved. In the past, they had never been put in a difficult position. However, this shrew relied on the power behind her, the Lei Family. She even said, “Let me tell you, everyone in the surrounding villages knows that my brother is a filial son. He only has a small conflict with my parents. Who knows when he will figure it out? He still has to be filial in front of my parents’ beds. At that time, be careful that my brother complains to His Majesty and takes off your county magistrate’s hat!”

The bailiffs felt that she was spouting nonsense to scare them, but there seemed to be a trace of possibility in her nonsense. After all, didn’t the former county magistrate, Lord Shen, specially instruct their Master to take care of the Ning Family before he left?

Moreover, the Ning Family could be considered to be known by the Emperor now. General Xiao had just led troops to support the border a few days ago. It could be seen that these two families were at their peak. What if, that was to say, this farmer’s family was muddle-headed and really repaid kindness with ingratitude…

The commoners were stupid. It was not that they had never been instigated to become ingrates. The officials above were used to flattering their superiors. If something really happened, their superiors might not investigate the truth. At that time, they would be the unlucky ones.

It was too difficult for them.

As they were thinking, they saw Ning Fengnian and Ning Ansheng from afar. They heaved a sigh of relief and went forward to welcome them.

Ning Fengnian’s gaze landed on the crowd waiting for the execution. He immediately saw the white-haired Old Madam Ning.

Although her life in the past was not that lavish, his stepmother always took care of herself in high spirits and would never let outsiders see her old and sloppy side. However, at this moment, her white hair was scattered and she was dirty. Her eyes were turbid and her entire body was trembling.

She was afraid of death. She was so afraid that she was frightened all day long. Every person who walked towards her made her feel that they were going to chop off her head. Before today, she still had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that stupid Ning Fengnian would save her life on account of the many years of nurturing…

However, she didn’t think about what she had done to Ning Fengnian’s family all those years.

Old Madam Ning was already old and dizzy, but she still recognized her stepson from the crowd.

“Fengnian! Fengnian! Save me, save me. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die!”

“I raised you up, cleaning your shit and urine. Even if I don’t have any credit, I have worked hard. You can’t treat me like this!”

“You’re killing your mother. You’ll be punished by the heavens! You’re heartless!”

Ning Ansheng turned his head and glanced at his father. Seeing that he didn’t have much of an emotional fluctuation, he walked towards Little Aunt Ning.

“I originally thought that you were just stupid and hadn’t really participated in the dirty things in the old residence, so I planned to let you off.”

Little Aunt Ning felt a chill run down her spine and inexplicably had goosebumps all over her body. Was this person really her honest and silent big nephew from before?

However, after looking at the Lei Family members who were supporting her, she returned to her high and mighty self. “What are you talking about? I’m the one who doesn’t want to let you off now!” She even reminded softly, “Do you see that? These are Young Master Lei and Shopkeeper Lei. Do you know the Lei Family? They’re with the Yan Family. You’ve heard of the Yan Family, right? They’re the Empress’s maternal family! Let me tell you, you can’t afford to offend me now!”

Ning Ansheng looked at Shopkeeper Lei and Young Master Lei, who were sitting on chairs. He asked Little Aunt Ning, “What are you doing here?” Little Aunt Ning did not expect him to be so straightforward. She was stunned for a moment before replying, “I want my mother to be exempted from the punishment of execution!”

Ning Ansheng sneered. “Dream on..”
