Chapter 393 A loving mother and a filial son

Ning Yunxi suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable.

"In this case, why should we fight? Just wait for one of them to ascend the throne, and then they will pass it on to my brother."

Ning Fengzhe was one part doting and one part blame, and he gave serious corrections.

"What nonsense are you talking about? The emperor's side is not a place to stay for long. Don't you plan to rescue your uncle?"

Ning Yunxi smiled disapprovingly.

"According to what you said, my uncle's family is living comfortably, so what's the danger?"

Ning Fengzhe was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and patiently taught the truth.

"You are talking nonsense again. If the emperor's uncle is really Zhuang Shao, he is naturally safe. But, he is Fang Zhixuan. Do you think the emperor will never discover the truth in his lifetime?"

He considered the overall situation in his mind and quickly made a decision.

"When Feng Zhengtai's plan is over, I will take the opportunity to report the facts to the prince and welcome the emperor's uncle back."

Ning Yunxi gave an obedient smile.

"Thank you for your consideration, big brother."

She had always been concerned about her sister's suffering, so she found the right moment to change the subject.

"Big brother, please also take care of the matter of fourth sister."

Ning Fengzhe quickly returned to an indifferent expression.

"It's none of my business. No need to bother. Just let her be."

Ning Yunxi twirled her brother's clothes and begged in a coquettish manner.

"Big brother, why are you so indifferent? I beg you."

There was sweetness in Ning Fengzhe's eyes, and his tone was like clear clouds and autumn moon.

"If you care, then you can deal with it yourself. Have you forgotten all the strategies I taught you?"

Ning Yunxi sighed.

"What's the point of planning? You know Fourth Sister's temper. I can't control her at all."

Ning Fengzhe looked at his sister and smiled knowingly.

"Earlier you had to fight for it, now you complain that you can't control it."

"You should discipline your sister and not over-indulge her. Don't you even understand this?"

Ning Yunxi refuted weakly.

"Fourth sister is so lovable, how can I bear to be strict with her?"

Ning Fengzhe pulled a trace of contempt on his lips.

"She is very troublesome, and I don't see how lovable she is."

He looked calm and pointed at her hand, indicating her to let go of the corner of her clothes.

"You can ignore her affairs or figure them out on your own, but don't bother me."

Ning Yunxi grabbed the corner of his clothes and kept making a fuss.

"no……"

Ning Fengzhe glanced out the window and gave the order sternly.

"We have arrived at the main gate of Ning Mansion. The carriage will stop in a while. You go in first. I will ask the coachman to set up the carriage, and then I will go in through the side door."

Ning Yunxi turned a deaf ear and continued to act coquettishly.

"Big brother, please help me think of a solution."

Ning Fengzhe changed his expression to a stern one, frowned and warned.

"Don't bother with it, we'll discuss it later."

Ning Yunxi obediently let go.

"It's a deal. I'll wait until you're done with your work and then we'll discuss this matter. Don't make excuses to regret it."

Ning Fengzhe felt helpless.

"Yes, I know. You wait for me at Xiangzhu Garden. I will go to Xianyi Residence to report and then come find you."

Ning Yunxi was quite worried and added emphasis.

"Then you must come."

Ning Fengzhe smiled slightly.

"Ah."

Feeling that he would break his promise, Ning Yunxi left a threatening message.

"If you don't come, it will be considered cheating, and I will never trust you again."

Ning Fengzhe pretended to be impatient and waved his hand.

"Where did you learn all this nonsense? Go now."

Ning Yunxi responded respectfully.

"Yes."

Ning Yunxi got off the carriage as instructed, walked through the corridor and went straight to Xiangzhu Garden.

Ning Fengzhe entered the mansion through the side door, took a shortcut, and arrived at Xianyi Residence.

It was still early. Mu Rong had just woken up and finished washing up when she saw servants and maids fainting on the ground one after another.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Mu Rong became alert and quickly retreated to the side of the bed. She quietly took down the sword hanging on the wall before daring to question the other party.

"Who dares to trespass into the Ningguo Mansion?"

Ning Fengzhe's calm voice came from outside the door.

"Mother, it's me."

Recognizing her beloved son's voice in an instant, Mu Rong lost her guard, turned into a look of surprise, and casually put down her sword.

"Fengzhe, where have you been these days? Why didn't you leave your whereabouts when you left the house? Why didn't you inform your family when you didn't come back for so many days?"

"Do you know that your mother has been looking for you everywhere, worried and crying all day long?"

Ning Fengzhe walked into the room slowly, helped his mother to her seat as usual, and then sat down at the side.

"I have confidential business to attend to, so I left without saying goodbye."

After hearing this, Mu Rong felt relieved and smiled warmly.

"I see. I thought you were concerned about your place of residence and were angry with me on purpose."

Ning Fengzhe lowered his head respectfully.

"Mother's words are important, but the child has no such heart."

Fearing that her son would leave again, Mu Rong was extremely patient and considerate.

"Whether you have this intention or not, mother has already decided to use her savings to buy you a new house. Now that you have entered the Eighth Palace, how can you live in Huixinju?"

"Fengzhe, don't worry. Mother will not treat you unfairly, as other children have. You hold the position of Zhongcheng. Even if you live far away, you can only be called a direct descendant of the Ningguo Mansion. So I thought, why not just choose a new house for you on the side of the Ningguo Mansion and name it Huixin Mansion? Is that okay?"

As she spoke, she took out a key, opened a drawer, took out a few banknotes, and generously handed them to her son.

"There are many houses near the Ningguo Mansion. You can choose one. Even if there are people living there, you can give them some money and ask them to move out."

"Please keep these banknotes. If you don't have enough, come back and ask mother for more."

Ning Fengzhe followed his mother and stood up, readily accepted the banknote and bowed solemnly.

"Thank you, mother."

Thinking that he accepted it as a sign of forgiveness, Mu Rong smiled happily.

"Look at you, why are you being so polite to your mother?"

After she untied the knot in her heart, she finally realized the serious matter and asked in confusion.

"By the way, you came to pay your respects, why did you use drugs to make the servants faint?"

Ning Fengzhe's eyebrows were elegant, with a hint of contempt.

"Reply to mother, I am here in secret, not to pay respects."

Mu Rong was confused and puzzled.

"Hidden?"

"But why?"

Ning Fengzhe opened his misty lips slightly, and every word he said was full of wind and frost.

"To serve King Dijin and take back the Fengzhengtai that originally belonged to Emperor Yan, we have to go in secret as needed."

Mu Rong's body suddenly shook, and her face turned pale with shock.

"what?"

"Be loyal to...King Dijin?!"

"Did it happen by mistake?"

Ning Fengzhe remained calm and responded truthfully.

"Go to Gandong Mountain. The prince risked his life to save me and entrusted me with a great trust. As a minister of Yan, I naturally have no choice but to do my duty."

Mu Rong's pupils trembled slightly, she couldn't believe it.

"But I heard that it was Lord Lou, the Minister of Copper Affairs, who saved you on Gandong Mountain."

Ning Fengzhe raised a hint of disdain at the corner of his lips.

"This is an excuse, not a fact."

He helped his mother sit down again, seemingly politely, but his every word and action contained the chill of breaking glue and dropping fingers.

"By then, Feng Zhengtai will be in trouble, and the power of the Prince of Chen will decline. I advise mother to stay out of it, abandon it as soon as possible, and choose someone else to assist him, so as not to be implicated!"

The word "implicated" was so threatening that Mu Rong couldn't help but tremble with fear.

"You...what do you want to do?"
