Chapter 113 I’m leaving

Ning Xuanfeng's expression froze instantly, his eyes were complicated and confused with disbelief.

"In order to deceive me, you even disowned your own daughter and made up such an outrageous lie."

"I've never heard of any noble family that had to sell their children in order to pay for the betrothal gifts and dowry. Even among ordinary people, I have never seen such a ridiculous thing!"

"If I'm not mistaken, when my brother gets married, you will use the same tricks to cheat him of money and lie to him, right?"

"By then, you won't want to acknowledge me, and you'll use this as an excuse to deceive him, saying that my third sister and I were both adopted."

"I finally recognize you."

"It is unfortunate for us three siblings to have a mother like you. From now on, you and I will go our separate ways!"

"But please rest assured, mother. I will do my duty and be filial and respectful. I will never fail to do so. As for the rest, don't think too much. I will not give up even a little bit of affection!"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Mu Rong grabbed his hand even tighter, tears streaming down her face, unable to control herself.

"Feng'er, please don't leave. Mother can't live without you."

"You really fell into the trap."

"Wait a moment, I'll send someone to summon Fengzhe over. He can prove that what I said is true."

"The deposit is real. I have already gone to the palace to expose and try to save you. Ning Yunxi was indeed adopted. Can you please believe me again?"

Ning Xuanfeng wanted to shake her off, but the more he struggled, the tighter she held on.

"I went to the palace to inquire, and there is no record of you entering the palace."

"Where is your conscience if you continue to deceive people?"

Mu Rong explained while sobbing.

"That was done intentionally by the Emperor. He was teased by Fang Zhixuan and couldn't save his face, so he used this as an excuse to erase the record of my entry into the palace."

"These are all Ning Yunxi's schemes. We have all been tricked by her."

"Even if you don't believe me, you can't not believe in Fengzhe, right?"

"According to what you said, you two share the same suffering. He will never lie to you."

"Would you listen to what he says?"

Seeing her crying like this, Ning Xuanfeng was slightly moved.

"Since you insist, then fine."

"I'll stay for now and listen to what my brother has to say."

"As long as you both agree with each other, I will trust you one last time."

Hearing him agree, Mu Rong couldn't wait to give orders.

"Someone, come quickly, call the eldest master over!"

After saying this, tears fell like a torrential rain, and the sadness almost tore the sky apart.

She held her son in her arms, trembling all over, and a heart-wrenching helplessness immediately swept over her.

"Feng'er, thank you, thank you for giving me another chance."

"I've hurt you. It's all my fault. I'll save you even at the cost of my own life. Please don't leave me."

"How can I live without you?"

Ning Xuanfeng couldn't bear it, so he subconsciously reached out and patted her back gently to comfort her.

At this moment, he began to believe it.

Because this was the first time his mother cried so sadly in front of him.

He knew his mother, and she was a very proud person.

It's so heartbreaking, I guess there must be a reason for it, right?

Third sister, is this really an adopted child?

While he was thinking, Ning Fengzhe had already arrived at Xianyi Residence.

After receiving Ning Xuanfeng's comfort, Mu Rong's mood had eased a little, but her tear-swollen eyes still looked pitiful.

She turned her back and wiped her tears, unwilling to face Ning Fengzhe in such an unbearable state.

Before coming, Ning Fengzhe had roughly guessed what had happened in Xianyi Residence, but he still pretended to be confused and asked with concern.

"What's going on here?"

"Mother summoned me. What can I do for you?"

Ning Xuanfeng asked directly.

"Brother, was the third sister adopted?"

Ning Fengzhe pretended to be surprised and even had a hint of anger in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could Xi'er be adopted?"

"When mother was pregnant with Xi'er, you were at the age when you loved to play around. In order to prevent you from accidentally hurting the fetus, mother asked you to live in the Mu Mansion for a while. Don't you remember?"

"I was with my mother during her pregnancy, and I still remember it vividly."

"I witnessed with my own eyes the mother who carried Xi'er for ten months before giving birth to her."

"I never left the delivery room door. After Xier was born, I handed her the quilt with my own hands. How could she be adopted?"

Mu Rong was startled, turned around suddenly, and stared at Ning Fengzhe with horror.

"When was I pregnant with her?"

"I……"

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Ning Xuanfeng.

"Don't try to hint at me, mother. I know how to ask the question!"

As he spoke, he stared at Ning Fengzhe with an extremely serious expression.

"Brother, we are brothers. I want to know the truth. Please tell me the truth."

Ning Fengzhe gave him a firm look.

"What I said is the truth."

Mu Rong instantly became furious.

"Ning Fengzhe!"

Ning Xuanfeng stopped him again.

"If mother tries to hint at it again, I won't even believe my brother's words."

Mu Rong was unable to fight back. She was so angry that her breathing became heavier and she almost fainted.

Ning Xuanfeng ignored him and continued asking questions.

"Mother said that you were involved in the plot to steal the Zhuang family's wealth. Is that true or not?"

Ning Fengzhe was completely shocked, his expression was full of disbelief.

"Plotting to seize the wealth of the Zhuang family?"

“I have never heard of this.”

Ning Xuanfeng asked again.

"How do you discipline your third sister? How did your mother teach you?"

Ning Fengzhe answered firmly.

"My mother asked me to care for Xi'er and do my best to treat her well."

Ning Xuanfeng imagined the life his third sister lived, smiled bitterly, and his eyes became red again.

"Using our combination of leniency and strictness, mother can manipulate my third sister into doing whatever she wants."

"What a good plan."

"If Third Sister is really as you said, with evil intentions and cunningness, how could she have suffered for so many years and been schemed by you to this point?"

"You have tricked me, too."

"You will also include my brother in your calculations."

"None of us three siblings can escape."

Ning Fengzhe laughed secretly, but on the surface, his face was full of worry.

"Why would you think so, second brother?"

"My mother is not that kind of person."

"Don't misunderstand her."

Ning Xuanfeng burst into tears again.

"I have said this, and I once believed that my mother was not that kind of person."

"But the reality hit me hard."

"Why do other people's mothers have loving hearts, but our mothers have only evil intentions?"

“Why were we born into such a family?”

"How can anyone not love their own children?"

Ning Fengzhe frowned and looked terrified.

"You must have misunderstood."

"How could mother not love us?"

“There is no parent in the world who doesn’t love their children.”

Ning Xuanfeng shook his head in deep sorrow.

"Brother, you are wrong."

"There is a cruel mother right in front of me."

"I'm leaving. I don't want to stay in this house any longer."

"Will you come with me?"

"Otherwise, she will scheme against you miserably."

Ning Fengzhe refused with great righteousness.

"How can there be no one to show filial piety to my father and mother? I will not leave."

"Go out and calm down, and come back to apologize to your mother when you've figured it out, okay?"

Ning Xuanfeng's trust completely collapsed.

"I can't possibly figure it out."

"I have never been schemed against by her, so I am still in the dark. I can understand that."

"When my third sister was suffering, I was just like you. I only knew how to speak for my mother and didn't understand her feelings."

"Once you experience it, you will understand it naturally."

"Then it won't be too late for you and me to get together again, brothers."

"Now, I can only say goodbye. I'm leaving."

After saying that, Ning Xuanfeng walked away.

Mu Rong tried her best to stop it, but failed. In the end, she could only shout weakly.

"Feng'er! Feng'er, don't leave! Mother really can't live without you..."
