Chapter 18 Taking advantage of the situation

Qiong Fu soon received a summons from Mu Rong, hid her whereabouts, and quietly came to Xianyi Residence.

Just as Ning Yunxi thought, Qiong Fu reported the truth, and then left in a hurry.

Mu Rong's eyes were full of doubts, her eyebrows were painted with makeup, and she seemed calm, but her eyebrows were trembling slightly inadvertently.

"Qiu Bi really has returned to Ning Yunxi."

"Fortunately, I didn't believe the letter today, otherwise, I would have missed the big event."

Ning Fengzhe was as suspicious as ever.

"Mother, Qiongfu should not be trusted."

"In my son's humble opinion, this must be Ning Yunxi's plan."

"If my mother falls into my trap, I'm afraid she will become alienated from my father."

"Mother, please think carefully, how could Liu conspire with Ning Yunxi?"

"Ning Wanshan's life is between them."

Mu Rong shook her head.

"otherwise."

"Liu Yan conspired to set fire to Xiangzhu Garden. After that, they were even."

"Sometimes, the enemy of my enemy is my ally."

"You are a man, so it is inevitable that you don't understand the affairs of the harem."

Ning Fengzhe does not agree with this.

"Please think about it again, mother. Even if they conspired together, why would Liu tell Ning Yunxi about her lover?"

"No matter how slow-witted Liu is, she won't hand over her secrets to Ning Yunxi, right?"

"Take a step back and assume that Ning Yunxi discovered the matter of her lover by accident."

"What about the fact that Ning Wanshan is not her biological daughter?"

"It can't be such a coincidence that Ning Yunxi discovered everything at once, right?"

Mu Rong pondered for a moment.

"I also have doubts, but..."

Ning Fengzhe saw through it at a glance.

"Mother couldn't resist the temptation, right?"

"This plan is indeed fascinating."

"Not only will we have a chance to get rid of Liu, but we can also destroy my father's feelings towards Liu."

"In this way, mother can regain father's favor."

"But please, mother, stay awake."

"In the beginning, you and I agreed that it would be best if Ning Yunxi took the lead in getting rid of the Liu family."

“Now, mother not only has to do it herself, but also has to deal with Liu in front of father.”

"If something unexpected happens, not only will my father's favor disappear, but my mother will also most likely fall out of favor completely."

"My child begs me, mother, to think twice before acting!"

Mu Rong was obviously moved.

"What if the lover thing and the blood relationship thing are all true?"

"We can send someone to check it out."

"If this is true, there is nothing we can't do."

Ning Fengzhe was so anxious that he couldn't sit still.

"Even if it's true, the mother should ignore it."

"With my mother's great wisdom, it's impossible for her not to guess that this was Ning Yunxi's plan."

Mu Rong responded while calculating in her mind.

"I can guess, but..."

"It's a good idea to use their own tactics against you."

"Perhaps this time, Ning Yunxi will miscalculate."

Ning Fengzhe was completely anxious.

"Mother!"

Seeing this, Mu Rong quickly comforted her softly.

"Just sit still, what's the hurry?"

"Don't worry, I won't be impulsive."

"This time, if I'm not absolutely sure, I won't do anything."

"Ugh."

"I planned all this for your sister, Wei'er."

"Before, Ning Wanshan used this as an excuse to flaunt her power in front of you and me for many years."

"Now, she is finally gone, and taking Wei'er back home is just around the corner."

"But there is still the obstacle of Liu Yan."

Ning Fengzhe continued to persuade.

"Mother has tried many times, but Liu Yan doesn't know Wei'er's true background."

"You and I have analyzed this many times. Liu Yan is stupid, and Ning Wanshan will not tell her about this."

"If she lets the cat out of the bag in front of her father, Ning Wanshan will lose the leverage she has over me."

"The fire in Prince Chen's Mansion was an unexpected event. Ning Wanshan naturally could not have imagined that she would be buried in the sea of ​​fire."

"Now, you and I are the only ones in the mansion who know about Wei'er's affairs. Even my second brother knows nothing about it."

"Mother, just make arrangements and choose a day to welcome Wei'er into the mansion. Don't worry about Ning Yunxi's ill intentions."

Mu Rong fell silent again. After thinking for a while, she responded, "You are right. Let's end this matter here."

Ning Fengzhe tested it anxiously.

"Did mother really give up?"

Mu Rong blinked and asked in confusion, "I have made up my mind. Why are you asking this?"

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Ning Fengzhe quickly lowered his eyebrows.

"It's nothing. It's just that the child was reckless."

After Ning Fengzhe left, Mu Rong, who had "made up her mind", sent people to investigate the matter related to Yu Ze.

As expected, Ning Wanshan is not of the Ning clan, and Yu Ze is indeed Liu Yan’s lover who is kept outside.

So, Mu Rong fell into the trap.

When Mu Rong pretended to be a good wife and accompanied Ning Hanwang to Jingzhixuan, under the pretext of "wanting to reconcile with Sister Liu", Yu Ze arrived as expected.

Liu Yan didn't expect Yu Ze to come to her so blatantly, and was shocked for a moment.

Yu Ze didn't give her a chance to speak, and asked first: "Is Shan'er gone?"

Liu Yan looked around frantically.

"you……"

Yu Ze followed the plan and was furious.

"Let me ask you, is our daughter Ning Wanshan gone?"

"It's spreading like wildfire in the capital city. There was a fire in Prince Chen's mansion and Shan'er was caught up in it. She has passed away!"

"Why didn't you send someone to tell me?"

"Has it been so long since you've been with Old Man Ning that you've begun to imagine that Shan'er is really his daughter?"

"you say!"

"Why do you hide here and let the perpetrators go unpunished?"

"Why did you ignore Shan'er?"

Liu Yan took a breath and finally stopped panicking.

"Calm down and listen to me."

"I live here not to avoid disaster, nor do I ignore Shan'er."

"I really want to avenge her, but unfortunately, I am not as good as others..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Ze interrupted again.

"Why did you act alone? Why didn't you tell me? Is Shan'er just the apple of your eye, not my daughter?"

With this lead, Liu Yan quickly said what she should say.

"Shan'er is naturally your daughter too."

"But you are an outsider, how can you interfere in the affairs of the Ning Mansion's backyard?"

Yu Ze nodded with tears in his eyes.

“Okay, you still despise my status, which is not as noble as Mr. Ning’s, right?”

"He had injured his body when he married you. The doctor diagnosed that he had lost his fertility and it was almost impossible for you to get pregnant."

"You begged me to give you a child to help you consolidate your power in the harem."

"And now, you turn around and dare to despise me?"

"Do you believe it or not, I can go to Ning Mansion at any time and report you for secretly raising a man outside your family for many years?"

Liu Yan was used to his aggressive look and understood what he really wanted.

So, he happily pulled off the purse from his waist and threw it to him.

"After all, you just want money, right?"

"Give you all."

"Don't bother me anymore."

These conversations were heard by Ning Hanwang and Mu Rong without any omission.

Ning Hanwang stood outside the door, his right hand, which was about to knock on the door, hung in the air for a long time without moving.

Mu Rong found the right moment and broke into the room.

"Liu Yan, you are going too far!"

While he was speaking, Liu Yan had already died.

Yu Ze had been bribed by Yan Yu a long time ago, so he naturally knew that Mu Rong would come. When he heard the noise, he immediately ran away.
