Chapter 101: Strong Guidance

Ning Fengzhe performed the ceremony meticulously, holding his breath and concisely speaking.

"Please forgive me for speaking rashly."

"This plan is not appropriate. There are potential loopholes and it will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it. Please put it aside for now, mother."

Mu Rong frowned and started muttering unwillingly.

"I'll pretend that the third daughter of Zhuang is dignified and virtuous, and persuade Feng'er to accept this marriage, and take the initiative to ask for marriage."

"In fact, Miss Zhuang is not really virtuous. With her willful temper, Feng'er will definitely suffer if he marries her."

"I intend to seize the Zhuang family's property, so I carefully planned this plan."

"I first found the guard who was responsible for driving the labor when the Zhuang clan was exiled, and proved that Fang Renshu had secretly replaced the real Lord Zhuang."

"Then, we found several drug store owners and obtained evidence to prove that Fang Renshu had bought drugs that caused people to fake their deaths."

"I have learned many things from Lord Zhuang, and I can tell you all about them one by one."

"You have heard the emperor talk about the scars on Lord Zhuang's body, and he has already confirmed them with his own eyes."

"Fang Zhixuan faked his death and hid for many years. He then borrowed Zhuang Shao's identity and lurked beside the emperor. I will report his evil intentions to the emperor in detail."

"Once the conspiracy of Fang Renshu and his brother is exposed, Fang Zhixuan's family will be wiped out."

"I will transfer the money from the Zhuang Mansion's treasury in advance, inform Feng'er, and set fire to the Earl Hongshun's Mansion. People will think that Fang Zhixuan got wind of it in advance and didn't want his property to be confiscated, so he burned the treasury himself."

"In this way, we can take possession of the Zhuang family's wealth."

"I have done a great job in exposing the crime, and you have received great favor from the emperor. With our intercession, Feng'er will be able to escape unscathed."

"Feng'er lost his wife in a short marriage, innocent and pitiful. You should take this opportunity to ask the emperor for mercy and annul the marriage certificate, and just treat Feng'er as if he had never been married."

She continued to talk about the strategy she was proud of, and her overwhelming anger surged like a flood, rolling over and sweeping over.

"This plan is brilliant. I can't find any loopholes in it. Why should I give up halfway just because you said to put it on hold for now?"

"Tell me, what's wrong with my plan?"

"How is it different from your bad idea?"

Just now, after listening to their conversation in Xianyi Residence, Ning Fengzhe secretly guessed that Ning Yunxi was Fang Renshu's daughter.

Moreover, she and Fang Zhixuan had already recognized each other, so the people from the Zhuang Mansion did not fall into their trap.

However, such details are hidden in places that are difficult to detect. If he were to state them clearly, he might reveal his talent.

Considering that he wanted to keep his skills secret and do things in a convenient way, Ning Fengzhe could only give guidance and hints.

"The mother's plan was perfect. Even if there were any omissions, it was the child's fault."

"correct,"

"When the guilty minister Fang Renshu was alive, my child was still young. I only met her once, so I can't remember what she looked like."

"Mother has fought against her for several years and has had close contact with her. She must remember her appearance clearly, right?"

Mu Rong was confused by the question.

"I was discussing strategy with you, but you avoided talking about something else?"

"do not remember!"

"I forgot all about it!"

After saying that, she turned her head and completely misinterpreted his meaning, and spoke even more harshly.

"You want to use Fang Renshu's talent as an example to despise and ridicule me?"

"She is just seeking fame and reputation, but it is all just empty reputation. How can she compare with me?"

"If she hadn't intentionally seduced Zhenlang, why would the emperor have suspected her and convicted her?"

"If she hadn't interfered, I would have married into the Tong Mansion long ago. Why would I need to plan to bring back the Duke and live my life in such a cautious manner?"

"She has brought us to this point, and you're bringing her up for no reason, and you're even using her to make fun of me!"

"Isn't that reasonable?"

Ning Fengzhe quickly explained.

"When I mentioned Fang Renshu, it wasn't..."

At this point, he was suddenly interrupted by Mu Rong.

"Don't mention Fang Renshu again!"

"You only met her a few times. I am the mother who gave birth to you and raised you."

"Ning Fengzhe, you must always remember to repay your parents. Don't let me feel that I raised an ungrateful person with my sincere love!"

Ning Fengzhe was at a loss for a moment and could only respond.

"Yes."

Seeing that he was respectful, Mu Rong gradually calmed down.

"Let's talk about the matter at hand. Tell me, what is wrong with my plan?"

Ning Fengzhe thought for a moment and then answered.

"Mother knows very well that Fang Zhixuan's wisdom and strategy should not be underestimated."

"I guess that the people in the Zhuang Mansion didn't fall for the trick because the secret of the secret room was leaked. Fang Zhixuan had already met Mr. Zhuang and told him the plan to expose the secret to his face."

"They are sworn brothers. Master Zhuang will never betray them."

"My mother originally planned to make Mr. Zhuang mistakenly believe that he was only looking for his relatives, and inadvertently confirmed Fang Zhixuan's fake identity."

"Now that Lord Zhuang knows everything, how can he be willing to help us succeed?"

Mu Rong burst into laughter, full of sarcasm.

"You guess?"

"The secret room plan is watertight. How could Fang Zhixuan find out?"

"I imitated Lord Zhuang's handwriting and left a letter for the people in the Zhuang Mansion. I was suffering from an epidemic and it was inconvenient to meet them. I asked them to bring food and medicine and not to come near me. I could only enter after I recovered."

"I also arranged for a plague patient whose voice was similar to that of Master Zhuang to stay in the secret room after careful training."

"On ordinary days, they would just exchange pleasantries and wouldn't notice anything unusual. Even if a doctor was arranged to treat him, he wouldn't be able to see anything wrong."

"It will take some time for the epidemic to heal. As long as we go into the palace and expose the truth before then, we can be sure that nothing goes wrong."

"How could someone discover this?"

"Even if, as you said, they learned that Master Zhuang had left the secret room, how could they guess where Master Zhuang was hiding?"

Ning Fengzhe was extremely depressed.

"Mother, do you think it's hard to find you hiding in the inn?"

Mu Rong's tone was cold to the core.

"They will never be able to find the place I arranged!"

"Since you are so determined, let's go to the inn and take a look."

"If Master Zhuang knew the truth and was unwilling to help, I think he would have left the inn by now, right?"

Ning Fengzhe felt like a thorn in his throat.

"What if Fang Zhixuan takes advantage of the situation and asks Master Zhuang to stay for a while, so as to avoid mother's suspicion?"

Mu Rong disagreed.

"How much risk is it to take and what benefit can it gain?"

"Besides, I have solid evidence in my hand, and he can't deny it."

"If I were him, I would directly rescue Mr. Zhuang and hide him somewhere else to let this matter go. That would be the best strategy."

Ning Fengzhe sighed deeply.

"Naturally, the benefits outweigh the risks, so he chose to take advantage of the situation."

Having said that, he was still trying to remind.

"In fact, there is no need to do this. They rescued Ning Yunxi and were unwilling to deal with her. Such behavior easily made us suspicious. I expected that they did not fall into the trap."

"Don't you think it's weird, mother?"

Mu Rong quickly found a reason.

"Of course I don't think it's strange."

"Fang Zhixuan seems to be assisting the emperor, but in fact he is attached to Prince Dijin."

"Ning Yunxi is a trusted minister of King Di Jin. He doesn't want to target her. What's the problem?"

Ning Fengzhe felt as if he had been hit hard in the heart.

"Prince Dijin is very suspicious. Fang Zhixuan secretly intends to submit to him, but he has not agreed so far."

"Without ever being there, how can Fang Zhixuan be sure that Ning Yunxi is truly following King Di Jin?"

"First, Ning Yunxi is a member of the Ning family and was raised by us. Second, Ning Yunxi originally assisted the emperor and was loyal to him. In his opinion, Ning Yunxi is likely to be just pretending to surrender like he did."

"If that's the case, how could he not be willing to hurt her even a little bit even when teasing her?"
