Ning Xia Qing expressed his doubts to Second Master Ning, Second Master Ning's face immediately became ugly, and after moving his lips a few times in embarrassment, he finally told the truth.

It turned out that the so-called division of Master Ning's family was actually just a rhetoric to the outside world, in fact, it was not that Master Ning wanted to divide it, but that the patriarch wanted to drive Master Ning out.

In fact, it was the patriarch and Master Ning that had a disagreement, so the patriarch was angry and wanted to drive Master Ning out. It's just that Master Ning is the patriarch's own son after all, and in order to save this last face for his son, he didn't explicitly say that he wanted to drive Master Ning away, but said that Master Ning took the initiative to leave.

As for what differences there were between the patriarch and Lord Ning, even Second Master Ning didn't know this.

Second Master Ning guessed that the matter might be related to the Xiao family. According to the second master Ning, he heard a little rumor, it seemed that the eldest master Ning proposed to let the Ning family join forces with the Xiao family, but it completely angered the patriarch, and the father and son had a stiff quarrel, and after arguing for half a year, they finally broke up.

And the two percent of the mulberry garden that Master Ning took away has nothing to do with the mulberry garden that the Ning family used to stand up. Master Ning took away the mulberry garden elsewhere, and the mulberry garden did not belong to the Ning family, but the Ning family bought it from the mulberry farmers a few years ago, although it was also the Ning family's mulberry garden, but it was not so deadly.

That's right, if Lord Ning wants to take away the old mulberry garden that has been passed down from generation to generation of the Ning family, the patriarch will not agree to let Master Ning take it away even if he dies. However, at this juncture, even if the two mulberry gardens that were divided were not the most important part, for the Ning family, this matter was still very fatal.

When Ning Xia Qing heard this, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Lord Ning and the patriarch quarreled for half a year, that is to say, Lord Ning's proposal to cooperate with the Xiao family should be about the autumn time, when Ning Xia Qing had just left the Central Plains and headed for the Northland.

Why was it brought up at that time? Ningxia Qing was puzzled.

Moreover, the Xiao family obviously regards the Ning family as a mortal enemy, and if they don't get rid of it, how can they hope to cooperate? This made her even more puzzled.

The only thing that the Ning family can make the Xiao family interested in cooperating with is the Holy Silk, which is a heaven-sent treasure that the Xiao family has coveted for a hundred years and has not been able to get. Could it be that the Xiao family wants to cooperate with the Ning family for the sake of the Holy Silk? She couldn't help but think so.

Ningxia Qing found a free time and went to his family's mansion.

After she came back this time, she was in a hurry, first she was frightened by Cao's body and lost half of her life, and then she was busy with marriage and business, and she didn't have time to meet the patriarch. Today, I learned that the patriarch was so sick that he was bedridden.

The patriarch of the waning West Mountain's face was as withered as a shriveled yellow cabbage leaf, glowing green, without a hint of ruddyness, and even breathing became very difficult, his hair was long, his beard was gray and gray, an inch long, his eye sockets were deep, and his complexion was gray. On the thin cheeks, two cheekbones bulged high, protruding there like two small hills.

The patriarch still had a lot of bloodshot in his eyes, and a pair of sad eyes were dull, staring at the ceiling blankly, as if he was extremely depressed in his heart.

Ning Xia Qing knew that Master Ning had been making trouble for half a year, and the patriarch was afraid that he had a lot of worries, and last night Master Ning went out again, and the patriarch was so angry that he fell ill.

Ningxia Qing saw that the patriarch was so haggard, so he sat down on the stool next to the bed and asked calmly: "The third uncle takes care of his body the most important, and the clan still needs the third uncle to call the shots." ”

The emaciated and haggard patriarch sighed, "I'm old......"

"Third uncle, don't say that, the clan can't live without you, you must take care of yourself." She said.

These words were obviously words of concern, but when they came out of her mouth, they were not as eager, and the old patriarch's answer was also a little gloomy, which was very different from the patriarch's steady style.

There was a long silence in the room, and as for the reason for the silence, the patriarch and Ning Xia Qing both knew it.

Finally, Ning Xia Qing spoke first, she wanted to verify her idea: "Why does Uncle Lobby suddenly want to cooperate with the Xiao family?" ”

The patriarch's face became even more ugly than before, and there was a little remorse on top of his previous sick appearance.

Although there was no answer, Ningxia Qing had already received an answer. As she expected, the worst happened.

She sneered and said unhappily: "That's what I entrusted to the third uncle, is this how the third uncle keeps it?" ”

Before she left, the patriarch handed her over to the mansion and handed over the heirloom glass left by Ning Wangping to Ning Ningqing. At that time, in addition to the delivery of heirloom glass, a deal was also reached between Ningxia Qing and the patriarch.

Ning Xia Qing agreed to hand over the other half of the notes left by Ning Wangping, and the patriarch promised to return her mulberry garden to her, and no longer interfere in the affairs of her mulberry garden, and only need her to pay dividends to the clan like everyone else in the clan every year.

This transaction between Ning Xia Qing and the patriarch is actually more like a sign that Ning Wangping has returned to the Ning clan again many years after Ning Wangping has established himself on his own.

Unexpectedly, after she left, the patriarch actually showed the notes she gave to the patriarch to Master Ning.

After seeing that notebook, Master Ning saw the method of cultivating the Holy Silk from that notebook, and thought that it was a good opportunity, so he moved a lot of crooked thoughts, and even proposed such a bad idea as cooperating with the Xiao family.

Ningxia Qing couldn't help but be angry.

Although, from the patriarch's point of view, she can somewhat understand this approach. Master Ning is the patriarch's own son, and he has been responsible for taking care of the Ning family's mulberry garden. The patriarch told Master Ning about the method of cultivating the Holy Silk, and he also hoped that Master Ning would start cultivating the Holy Silk on a large scale.

But the patriarch didn't take into account that Master Ning was not a person worthy of trust.

Master Ning believes that he is the eldest son, and he likes to make a tone of voice, because Ning Zhiheng's incident caused Lord Ning's vitality to be greatly damaged, and he lost the qualification to continue to compete with Ning Xia Qing, which made Master Ning depressed all the time.

Therefore, when Master Ning got the method of cultivating the Holy Silk, Master Ning planned to use this to seek a position within the Ning clan for himself, and wanted to be the next patriarch of the Ning clan.

Perhaps in order to suppress the rising star of the Ning Xia Qing clan, or perhaps at the instigation of the Xiao family, Master Ning even proposed to join forces with the Xiao family, but he broke with the patriarch instead.

Now Master Ning wants to seek a position within the Ning Clan, but he leaves the Ning Clan with the method of cultivating the Holy Silk, and he has been involved with the Xiao Clan, which is equivalent to sending the secret of the Ning Sacred Silk to the Xiao Clan.

This is definitely the worst case scenario!

Ning Ningqing's face became more and more ugly, and the patriarch sighed and said, "Don't worry, I haven't shown him the complete method yet, and what he knows is only partial." ”

"Partially?" Ning Xia Qing was angry, and rushed out: "The Xiao clan already knew part of the cultivation method of the Holy Silk, and now Uncle Lobby has taken away some of it, if the Xiao family combines these and studies the method of cultivating the Holy Silk, it is equivalent to the Ning clan's most important secret being stolen by the Xiao family." ”

"With the status of the Xiao clan in the court bureau, where else can the Ning clan fight with the Xiao clan?" Ning Ningqing's eyes became colder and colder, and he looked at the patriarch and sneered: "I don't know if there is really that day, how does the third uncle plan to lead the Ning family to fight with the Xiao family?" ”

The patriarch lay on the bed, as if he was about to die, and said weakly: "I'm old, maybe I'm really old and confused about this incident, but I'm too anxious and want to cultivate the Holy Silk as soon as possible, so I accidentally caused such a catastrophe." ”

Ning Xia Qing took a deep breath, trying her best to calm her emotions, looking at the old man in front of her, she could only suppress the anger in her heart. Knowing that it was useless to be angry at the moment, she could only patiently ask, "What are we going to do now?" ”

The patriarch said helplessly: "The rest of the Ning Clan's Mulberry Garden has been handed over to your Fifth Uncle to take care of, as for the Mulberry Garden in Baoluo Village, according to my previous agreement with you, I will help you get it back from the boss, you can go directly to half of the handover, and you don't have to worry about the previous gambling contract." ”

The patriarch continued: "Also, you have started to prepare for entering the Chamber of Commerce, you have been trying to get familiar with the people inside recently, and I will arrange for you to enter soon." ”

Ningxia Qing was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

She knew what was going on with the Chamber of Commerce right now. Since the establishment of the chamber, the Meigong County Piliu Chamber of Commerce, which has been stripped of its skeleton, is basically an empty shell, and those merchants who did not leave with Tan Wenshi saw that the situation was not right, and they also withdrew from the chamber of commerce, either waiting and seeing, or joining the chamber. The Chamber of Commerce is even more indifferent today than it was when she left.

The Shaw Clan's public office meant that the confrontation with the Ning Clan was put on the table. The Xiao family no longer hid it, and began to openly and openly use all means to suppress the Ning family's business, including the low-price competition that Dong Zizhen said before.

And the Ning clan fought against everyone in the public office almost single-handedly, and the business was getting worse day by day, and it was almost suppressed to the point that it couldn't breathe.

If it weren't for Ning Xia Qing's return from the northern zone with a large order, the Ning clan would not even be able to breathe.

In this difficult situation, the patriarch actually wants Ningxia Qingjin Chamber of Commerce and returns the mulberry garden to her, isn't this tantamount to handing over the mess to Ningxia Qing to deal with?

Ningxia Qing really hates iron and does not become steel.
