Chapter 63 Taking Back the House
Ning Yunxi was serious but still polite.
"My request is simple."
"First, both houses must be registered in my name..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Hanwang.
"Why do you want to do this again?"
Ning Yunxi's words were full of confidence.
"I paid the money, and the house will be registered in my name. Is there any problem with that? What's more, I have already bought this Ning House in Shengjing once before."
"Father could give it to my fourth sister without hesitation, but he is so stingy with it to me. Why is that?"
"Besides, I am not being greedy. I am protecting these two retirement houses for you. I need not elaborate on my filial piety. Father, do you really not understand my good intentions?"
Ning Hanwang was extremely angry, but he didn't say a word.
Mu Rong hurriedly tried to reconcile.
"Master, Xi'er has always been filial, why are you worried? When we die, won't all these things belong to her? What difference does it make whether we give them to her now or later?"
"Let's just leave it at that."
"Xi'er, what is your second request?"
Ning Yunxi replied seriously.
"My fourth sister is really ignorant. I have to discipline her myself."
"Please ask father and mother to sign a document. Whenever I want to discipline Ning Jiewei, you are not allowed to interfere."
This time, Mu Rong was unhappy.
"Where in the world is there such a document?"
"If we are not bound by the law, even if we sign it, you will have no right to judge."
Ning Yunxi walked to the desk and wrote a promissory note.
"The money for these two houses should be considered as loans from you. If you interfere, the money will be returned; otherwise, it will be a gift."
"Sign it."
Ning Hanwang and Mu Rong were in perfect sync and did not move at all.
After a long time, Ning Hanwang asked the question first.
"Xi'er, what do you mean?"
Ning Yunxi's reply was very logical.
"Didn't father just say that Fourth Sister is immature and it's because I didn't discipline her strictly enough?"
"Since my father has such an intention, I readily agree with him."
"I want to save my parents from wasting their energy. This is also a filial piety. Can you understand?"
Ning Hanwang still wanted to struggle.
"Don't sign the document. Just discipline her. We will never interfere."
"I've given you the house, that's enough."
Ning Yunxi chuckled.
"Father is always confusing right and wrong. Did you give me the house?"
"I bought it with my own money!"
Ning Hanwang felt helpless and could only sigh.
"How can a daughter ask her parents to sign a document? If you tell anyone about this, it's against etiquette. I'm reminding you for your own good."
"Don't worry, we will never interfere. If we violate our rules, at worst you can just kick us out and let us sleep on the streets. Is that okay?"
Ning Yunxi just found it ridiculous.
"Wouldn't it be against etiquette to drive you out? Father, you are too kind. I won't be so cruel."
"I am very filial."
"In that case, then fine. As a sister, there's nothing wrong with me disciplining my younger sister."
"Qiu Bi, go to Huichun Hall to get the banknotes."
Qiu Bi responded first, and then leaned close to Ning Yunxi's ear and asked in a very small voice.
"After all, buying two houses is not a small amount of money. What if it's not enough?"
"After all, the storehouse was empty once before when the girl got married. Until now, we haven't recovered from the shock yet."
Ning Yunxi also responded in a low voice.
"Borrow some from my brother."
"He'll agree."
Qiu Bi nodded.
"Yes, the servant knows."
After finishing everything, Ning Yunxi left Yanxiju.
Ning Hanwang frowned and asked.
"How dare you agree to the house? Have you forgotten that she is not a member of the Ning family at all?"
"What if one day, she gets upset and really drives us out of the house? What should we do?"
At some point, a hint of murderous intent appeared in Mu Rong's eyes.
"Don't worry, sir."
"Since I have agreed, I have naturally thought about how to end it."
Ning Hanwang felt a little curious.
"What do you think."
Mu Rong smiled slightly and massaged his shoulders gently and considerately.
"Ning Yunxi is now assisting King Di Jin, and we can do nothing about it. But King Di Jin is suspicious by nature, so perhaps we can use him to our advantage."
"Master, think about it. If we pretend to be close and act very harmonious with Ning Yunxi, will King Di Jin be suspicious?"
"He and Prince Chen are irreconcilable. His Royal Highness Prince Chen's adoptive mother is the Imperial Concubine's sister."
"If we are on good terms with Ning Yunxi, in his eyes, it is equivalent to Ning Yunxi being on good terms with Prince Chen."
"Plus, she was once the Princess of Chen."
"In this case, wouldn't it be easy to use King Di Jin to get rid of Ning Yunxi?"
Ning Hanwang disagreed.
"Haven't you tried this strategy once?"
"Not only can we not get rid of her, she is still alive and well, showing off her power in Yanxiju, and naturally took away the Ning family's house!"
Mu Rong explained patiently.
"This plan is not that plan. The two are very different."
"The former was caused by the Imperial Concubine who deliberately alienated Ning Yunxi. When Prince Di Jin saw that she had taken a ruthless action against Ning Yunxi, he naturally noticed something."
"Lastly, we took extra care of Ning Yunxi and never hurt her in the slightest. How could King Di Jin not be suspicious?"
Ning Hanwang thought about it and smiled cunningly.
"It makes sense."
"Then give it a try. She's useless anyway. If we keep her, she'll just cause trouble."
……
Xiangzhu Garden.
Returning to the bedroom, Qiu Bi closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why did the young lady take the initiative to ask to discipline the fourth young lady? Aren't you just asking for trouble?"
"It must be troublesome to discipline someone like her who has insatiable desires."
Ning Yunxi smiled gently and sat on the soft couch by the window.
"My original intention was not to discipline her. I just thought that the time had come for the matter of the secret room in Prince Dijin's mansion."
Qiu Bi smiled in surprise.
"really?"
"That's great. I've been looking forward to it for a long time."
Ning Yunxi nodded.
"Well, considering how much trust my brother has in me now, it should be fine."
"But this matter cannot be done too obviously, so as not to arouse my brother's suspicion again."
"So I plan to take a few more detours and use Ning Jiewei to open the secret room of Emperor Jin's Palace."
Qiu Bi was full of expectations.
"When that time comes, the prince will know why you became sworn brothers in your previous life."
"After this, he will no longer randomly suspect the girl, right?"
Ning Yunxi's lips were sweet.
"maybe."
"Anyway, my brother in my previous life believed in me after confirming my identity."
"Besides that, there is another reason for opening the secret room."
"Today, I bought the Ning Mansion. My father and mother are unhappy and will inevitably think about how to get rid of me."
"I think they might use my brother's hand. Their method is nothing more than alienating people."
"I almost lost my life during this trip to Zhaoyi Palace, all because they never tired of playing the game of sowing discord."
"Therefore, it is imperative to open the secret room."
"I just don't know if my brother will believe me in this life."
