Chapter 100 Taking risks

A look of surprise flashed across Zhuang Xianhui's eyes.

"I heard that the magistrate of Shanchang County easily detained him before."

"Father said that the magistrate of Nanluo County was the Beizhaoshi of Beizhaotai before he was demoted. Naturally, he is better at strategy than the magistrate of Shanchang County."

"If that's the case, how can we not hold him back?"

Ning Yunxi was worried and depressed.

"It can only mean that he was just pretending when he was in Shanchang County. It wasn't that the county magistrate held him back, but that he chose not to come back."

"He expected that I would plead for mercy, hoping to drive a wedge between my brother and me, so he deliberately did not return to Beijing."

"Alas, he has counted me in again..."

Zhuang Xianhui finally reacted after hearing this.

"I see."

"No wonder my father said that he is very scheming. Sometimes, even my father is no match for him."

"What should I do?"

"My cousin captured Prince Chen's men and originally planned to replace them with Madam Ning and Uncle Shao after they entered the palace."

"Now, Lord Ning is going back to the capital. I'm afraid this move can't be hidden from him, right?"

Ning Yunxi frowned and thought deeply.

"not only that."

"Even if you don't fall for his trick, he will figure it out."

Zhuang Xianhui's pupils suddenly trembled.

"What should I do?"

"Is it too late for us to pretend to tease you now?"

Ning Yunxi sighed in distress and shook her head.

"He must have been sending people to monitor the movements of Shengjing. He hurried back to Beijing this time because he received news that you did not fall into his trap."

"It's definitely too late to play a prank now."

"You can't fool him by pretending to fall into his trap."

"After he returns to Beijing, he will probably persuade his mother to give up the plan to murder his uncle."

"Of course, he will find a way to cancel your marriage with your second brother."

Zhuang Xianhui was worried.

"Then, will my cousin's plan to control the second young master Ning be wasted?"

"This plan is also related to alienating the emperor and Lord Ning, and helping my father consolidate his position."

“It’s a pity to miss this opportunity.”

"I wonder what sinister plan he will come up with next time. What if we are caught off guard and he wipes out our entire family like he did in our previous life? What should we do?"

Ning Yunxi already had an idea.

"It is not appropriate to use the King of Chen's men anymore, as they would be mistaken for the real ones."

"We have no choice but to take a risk and ask Mr. Zhuang to join the game personally."

"When you return home, tell your uncle to be on guard against the elder brother's assassination and think of a way to ensure the safety of Mr. Zhuang."

"I'll go tell my uncle that there's a change of plan."

Zhuang Xianhui's thoughts raced, and she gave a reminder.

"Lord Ning has become suspicious."

"We can take risks and seize opportunities; he can also wait and see and ensure that he will not suffer any losses."

"I guess that even if Uncle Shao's father joins the game, Lord Ning will still put the matter on hold and not implement it for the time being, and will not fall into the trap at all."

Ning Yunxi looked serious and let out a long sigh.

"I know."

"Letting Master Zhuang personally join the game is not to dispel Big Brother's suspicion, but to lure Mother into the trap."

"I'm afraid this is the only way he can persuade his mother to stick to her own opinion and not believe what he said."

"Besides, you didn't fall for the trick, but instead ridiculed me. Besides not having to tease me, there's another benefit, which is that mother began to doubt big brother's ability. Plus, big brother usually pretends to be stupid and hides his cleverness."

"This plan may work."

Zhuang Xianhui followed her words and began to meditate on what might happen next.

After thinking it over, he confirmed that there was no mistake, so he responded.

"Then I will return home immediately and report this to my father."

Time passed quickly in the anxiety.

Before I knew it, night had fallen.

Ning Fengzhe returned to the Ningguo Mansion, and after simply paying his respects to Ning Hanwang, he went to Xianyi Residence.

"The child greets his mother."

Originally, Mu Rong had forgotten about the ridicule, but after seeing Ning Fengzhe, she couldn't help but remember it again, and her face fell into the abyss in an instant.

"Well, you've had a hard time out there."

"Go and rest."

Ning Fengzhe stood up and sat down, but did not leave.

"I heard that the people in the Zhuang Mansion did not fall into the trap."

"Mother, what is going on?"

When Mu Rong heard this, she was furious.

"I didn't blame you, but you questioned me instead?"

"I followed your bad idea and did everything perfectly step by step. In the end, Ning Yunxi was safe and sound, but I was the one who was ridiculed for no reason!"

Anger surged up her body, and she felt a little dizzy. She quickly adjusted her breathing and tried her best to calm down.

"I don't want to argue with you about this, just go back and have a rest."

Ning Fengzhe remained motionless.

"The person I arranged only got some superficial information, but I don't know the specific situation."

"Please tell me clearly, mother. Otherwise, I will be kept in the dark and how can I analyze the pros and cons?"

After all, he was her biological son, so Mu Rong suppressed her anger and repeated what he said.

"That's just the way it is."

"I really tried my best. It's true that your plan didn't work."

Ning Fengzhe was shocked and almost speechless, unable to figure it out.

"Why did mother insist on following their wishes and saying these words in person to protect Ning Yunxi?"

"If they use this as an excuse to cause trouble, how will mother deal with it?"

Mu Rong was even more furious.

"Why do I have to say those words?"

"They used a trick to force me!"

"If it were you, what would you say?"

Ning Fengzhe felt so uncomfortable that he felt a dull pain in his chest. He took a deep breath and almost fainted.

"Such a simple matter, do I need to explain it to you?"

Mu Rong glanced sideways, full of dissatisfaction.

"Mysterious!"

"Act like you really know how to handle this."

"Well, today I have to be serious with you."

"Just think of me as them and you as me."

As she spoke, she acted out the scene.

"What does this letter mean?"

"I hope Madam Ning can give us a reasonable explanation."

"We found out that the maid who delivered this letter to Earl Hongshun's mansion was a servant of yours."

Ning Fengzhe said a few words casually and did it with ease.

"is it?"

"I see."

"Leave the letter with me for now. Once I find out the truth, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Mu Rong was stunned. She didn't expect that the problem could be solved so easily.

She was not discouraged and continued to act.

"That depends on how Madam Ning wants me to view this matter."

"All right and wrong depends on you."

Ning Fengzhe handled it with ease and grace.

"As a mother, I naturally want to believe that Xier never wrote this letter."

"But I dare not jump to conclusions about the facts."

"I'll give you a satisfactory answer once I find out the truth."

After saying this, he turned to explain.

"That way, my mother won't be mocked."

Mu Rong forgot her anger and was left with only confusion.

"It is true that you will not be mocked."

"But if that's the case, will they still go after Ning Yunxi?"

Ning Fengzhe responded truthfully.

"Of course not."

Mu Rong's face became angry again.

"If that's the case, isn't it just a bunch of nonsense?"

"Just like what I said, it won't achieve the goal at all!"

Ning Fengzhe stroked his forehead and sighed.

"Since we have come to Xianyi Residence, we have not fallen into the trap. No matter what we say, they will not deal with Ning Yunxi."

"My child, these words can not only protect your mother from being ridiculed and mocked, but also prevent endless troubles in the future."

Mu Rong didn't quite understand and snorted disdainfully.

"Those involved are confused. Who would fail to react afterward?"

"What consequences can this have? Don't pretend to have foresight in front of me."

Ning Fengzhe suppressed his anger and acted respectfully.

"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, mother."

"It is not appropriate to continue exposing Fang Zhixuan. Mother, please put it aside for now."

Mu Rong was extremely shocked.

"what?!"
