But if Master Fan Ning showed this sincerity earlier, what Master Ning asked for would be done now.

But Gu Xuesong has been here, so everything is late.

If Ning Xia Qing went to the government to testify now, saying that she had seen with her own eyes that it was Qi Kaifeng who beat Ning Zhiheng first, it would be tantamount to admitting that she had been by Wanhe Lake for a while last night, and it was just in time for the time when the imperial court official was killed.

Ah Zheng is her buddy, the two naturally can't be treated separately, if she is known to have been next to Wanhe Lake for a while, then what will Ah Zheng think?

Master Ning said disdainfully: "When your useless father was still alive, the mulberry garden came into my hands, and after you took over the family business, in order to snatch back the mulberry garden, you actually swore to recruit money, which is shameless enough!" After that, you are thinking about it, isn't it also for the mulberry garden? Since you want it so much, I will grant your wish today! Satisfied? ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at Master Ning.

Indeed, when she took over the family business, or the reason why she took over the family business, it was all because of this mulberry garden, that she was forced to come to this day by Master Ning. This mulberry garden was left by her grandfather, and she has always dreamed of getting her mulberry garden back.

But now, that's happening......

Seeing that Ning Xia Qing didn't speak, Master Ning couldn't help but be even more angry: "What? Don't tell me you don't want this mulberry garden! At this time, what are you still pretending to be high? The fake model is twisted and pinched, which is simply a shame for the surname Ning! ”

Ning Xia Qing just looked at Master Ning coldly, she didn't even bother to refute Master Ning's customary, high-minded foul language, her eyes glanced at the contract, but it was like a drop of dew across the leaves, she moved away thoughtfully, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Let me think about it." ”

Master Ning became angry when he boarded, pointing at Ning Ningqing's nose and scolding: "I am your elder, I came to talk to you in person today, and you still dare to stand in front of me?!" I think you've taken advantage of the business a few times, so you don't know who your name is, right? Let me tell you, if you are a member of the Ning family, you have to understand and respect your elders! ”

Ning Ningqing finally got impatient, glanced over coldly and replied: "The old and the old, the young and the young, the eldest has never loved the young, so why talk about respecting the old in front of me?" I didn't say I wouldn't say yes, I just had to think about it. Naturally, I can't easily agree to such a thing as perjury. ”

Master Ning was so frightened that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he just wanted to curse a few words, but the feeling of weakness after not sleeping all night was under the technique of anger, but it suddenly made his face pale, and the housekeeper on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Master Ning pat his back and help Master Ning calm down.

Ning Xia Qing looked at the pale Lord Ning indifferently, unmoved.

The housekeeper helped Master Ning to calm down, and said gently: "It's okay if Miss Xia Qing doesn't want to go to the official mansion immediately, then please go to Qi's house with us first." Tell the Qi family this first, so as to suppress the arrogance of the Qi family, so that the Qi family will not come to the Ning family's old mansion all day long and make trouble without saying anything. ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced at the housekeeper and didn't speak.

Master Ning wanted her to come forward to kill the prestige of the Qi family, but she didn't understand. But she can't do that right now.

If she really went to tell the Qi family this kind of thing, it would be equivalent to showing out that she had appeared next to Wanhe Lake at the time of the murder, and sooner or later she would still implicate Ah Zheng in that murder case.

Ning Xia Qing said calmly: "Since I can't give an answer now, naturally I can't go to the Qi family to make such perjury." The eldest lord wants me to kill the prestige of the Qi family for you, but I can't obey my fate. ”

Master Ning was so angry that he coughed non-stop, grabbed the tea cup in his hand and was about to throw it on Ning Ningqing's forehead, but fortunately he was stopped by the housekeeper.

While comforting Master Ning, the housekeeper persuaded Ning Ningqing bitterly: "Miss Xia Qing, don't embarrass Master Xia." The eldest lord really wants to negotiate terms with you this time, and even the contract has been brought, why do you continue to force the eldest master? ”

Ning Xia Qing glared at the housekeeper, too lazy to refute, and pondered about Ah Zheng's affairs.

Seeing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but threaten: "Miss Xia Qing, let me tell you the simplest reason, if something really happens to Young Master Zhiheng, the Ning family will be implicated, and then do you think you can be alone?" Miss Xia Qing, the lost dog will never end well, do you understand this truth? ”

Ning Xia Qing glanced at the past quietly, and her heart was also extremely hot, she was not a person who liked to get angry in her life, but she was really upset at the moment, and choked impatiently: "In this case, it's a big deal that the ship sinks and dies." ”

The housekeeper was stunned, and Ning Ningqing left a sentence impatiently: "I have already said that I need to think about the time, but you are persecuting me like this, I warn you, if you really force me to be anxious, just wait with me to bury Ning Zhiheng!" Ningxia Qing got up and shouted: "Dong shopkeeper!" ”

Dong Zizhen ran in with his hands, and was so afraid to speak because of the oppressive atmosphere in the room, Ning Xia Qing said, "Send off the guests." Then he left Master Ning with Dong Zizhen and went back to the backyard by himself.

It was easy to persuade Master Ning to go out, and Dong Zizhen, who was scolded by Master Ning, walked back to the living room in frustration.

Seeing that Cuiyu was cleaning up the tea cup with Cuizhi, Dong Zizhen couldn't help but walk to Cuiyu's side and complained: "This old man is really, when he is the king of heaven, he obviously wants to be in charge, but he is so commanding, of course the master is not happy." ”

Cuiyu was stunned for a moment and said, "But the girl is not the kind of person who will be easily provoked, and the interests in front of me are so big, I really don't understand why the girl didn't agree to this." The girl is careful and calculates step by step, isn't it just for the mulberry garden left by our old lady? ”

Cuiyu put the teacup on the tray, watched Cuizhi take the tray out, and couldn't help muttering to Dong Zizhen again: "And now if you take it back to the mulberry garden, you don't have to pay the eldest master 50,000 taels!" That's 50,000 taels! ”

Jade frowned. How much Ningxia Qing has paid for this family, Jade has been seen in his eyes bit by bit, and every bit has accompanied Ningxia Qing to the present. Cuiyu reported how many grievances and grievances she had for Ningxia Qing in her heart, and even Ningxia Qing herself didn't know.

Cuiyu knew that her own girl could have had a stable and happy life, but she had put her own life on the line for this family, and her own girl was not yet twenty years old. Cuiyu knew that Ningxia Qing worked so hard for the mulberry garden from the beginning, but now, a great opportunity is in front of her, how can Ningxia Qing ......

Dong Zizhen thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Actually...... I can probably guess why the boss didn't say yes. ”

Dong Zizhen told Cuiyu in detail, and Cuiyu couldn't help but sigh, and she didn't know what to say.

Dong Zizhen was also full of sadness.

Fifty thousand taels, not only Cuiyu felt a pity, but Dong Zizhen also felt a pity. Although Ningxia Qing's business is going smoothly, 50,000 taels is still not a small amount, if Ningxia Qing really gives the eldest master 50,000 taels after two years, even if Ningxia Qing can get it, it will still cause a lot of deficit for Hua Caiyuan's accounts.

Those who do business are afraid that there is no turnover of silver, and Miao Laosan was out of stock because of lack of silver, so he walked into the bureau set up by Ningxia Qingjiang step by step, and finally lost ninety percent of the shops on the lane.

If Hua Caiyuan's accounts are really empty in the future, according to the sinister nature of the business field, Hua Caiyuan is not careful, I am afraid that it will follow in the footsteps of Miao Laosan.

Cuiyu was worried, and as soon as she finished cleaning up the living room, she planned to go back to serve Ningxia Qing, but at this time, someone came to Ningxia Qing again.

Cuiyu frowned, Dong Zizhen hurriedly went outside to answer, and saw that it was the patriarch of the Ning clan who sent someone to summon Ning Xia Qing. Cuiyu couldn't help but be even more worried in her heart, and went to the backyard to report the matter to Ningxia Qingyu with a worried face.

The patriarch of the Ning clan specially sent a carriage to pick up Ning Xia Qing, and the people who came to invite Ning Xia Qing were extremely polite, compared to the attitude of the eldest lord and the eldest lord's butler just now, it was a world of difference.

The carriage directly pulled Ning Ningqing to a teahouse, which was the same teahouse where the patriarch and Ning Ningqing talked last time.

The wrinkles on the patriarch's face seemed to be a little deeper than usual, and the sunken eye sockets were obviously the result of a night of sleeplessness, but the deeply sunken eyes in the eye sockets were still sharp and bright, not like ordinary old people, but Ning Xia Qing always felt that he was still an old man after all, and a tired old man.

Ning Ningqing sat down, his tone was much calmer than when he faced the eldest lord just now, and asked, "The third uncle and the eldest lord should be the same intention." ”

The old patriarch didn't answer, but just took out a small thing from his sleeve, put it on the tea table, and quietly pushed it in front of Ning Ningqing.

It was an ornament placed in a bonsai, made into the shape of a riverbank and waves, this ornament looked a little old, and the appearance was very ordinary, but there was a seven-pointed pavilion carved on the side of the desk.

There is only one seven-pointed pavilion in the world, which is located in the east of Yunshan, the south of Songfeng, and the bank of the Hongjiang River.

Thinking of Ah Zheng's words, Ning Xia Qing raised his head violently and stared directly at the patriarch.

The patriarch seemed to have expected her reaction, and said calmly and in a low voice, "Do you know that Hong Jiang is my man. ”

Ning Xia Qing looked at the patriarch in a daze, even she couldn't tell whether she was vigilant, guarded, distrustful and suspicious in her heart at the moment.

But she suddenly wondered if her grandfather was still alive, would he look very similar to her third uncle.

She didn't know why she thought that, she didn't really know what her grandfather was born like.

The patriarch seemed to see the thousand turns in Ning Ningqing's eyes, and suddenly sighed, and said with emotion: "Actually, the half of the fragment that your grandfather handed over to Hongjiang back then has always been with me. ”

At this moment, Ning Xia Qing only felt that his breathing had stopped.

The patriarch calmly explained: "Don't get me wrong, Hong Jiang is not a spy, he was sent by me to help your grandfather." ”

Many years ago, the third and fourth children in the Ning family were the two most outstanding in that generation, but their styles of action were very different, the third was full of businessmen and copper, and the fourth was quite literati because of his extensive reading.

The two are completely opposite, but they also use different means to dominate the market, but the contradictions are becoming increasingly intensified because of competition.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, the two eventually went against each other, and the fourth child finally left the Ning family to stand on his own, and did not get along with the old and dead of his own family, which can be regarded as a rare good ending, after all, it is better than fighting to the death between the two.

This is a fact in the eyes of everyone, except for the two brothers.

And the fourth died suddenly in the end, and before he died, he secretly handed over half of the notes to the third child.

Ning Xia Qing took a deep breath, pinched the corner of the table with trembling fingers and asked, "What does the third uncle mean when he told me about those old things today?" Is it for the sake of the half notebook in my hand? ”

The old patriarch looked at Ning Ningqing, who was forced to be calm, and changed his words: "Some people outside the clan have been eyeing the Ning family for a long time, although I really had a falling out with your grandfather back then, it was also for acting for those people." But unexpectedly, your grandfather was too sharp in the end, causing disaster. I hated him, but I also felt so sad. ”

The patriarch persuaded bitterly: "Young girl, if you agree to the boss's conditions, don't worry, even if he wants to use any villain tricks, I will definitely make decisions for you and let you take back your grandfather's mulberry garden." Young girl, your grandfather died for the Ning family's mulberry garden, and now, as long as you agree to the boss's conditions, you can get the mulberry garden back and inherit your grandfather's legacy. ”

Ning Xia Qing suddenly sneered, but he didn't feel annoyed, but an indescribable sneer, no wonder people said that ginger was still old and spicy, it can be seen that it is still the most important condition for the old man.

Ning Ningqing's lips were trembling desperately, she bit her lips to prevent herself from shedding tears, her heart was unwilling and sour, and all the most intense emotions were mixed together at this time.

"The people who killed your grandfather back then are now gone, and the Ning family has this incident again, outsiders think that the Ning family is going to collapse, and now is the time when outsiders are the least wary of the Ning family, and it is also the time when they are the most negligent. If you really want to carry on your grandfather's legacy and let the heirloom glass reappear, now is the best opportunity. ”

——The patriarch left such a sentence and left, letting Ning Ningqing ponder for himself.
