Chapter 503 Ning Hanwang Returns to Beijing

Time flies like a horse, and the years pass by like a shuttle. Ning Hanwang returns to Beijing after his injustice is cleared.

Ning Fengzhe took advantage of this and released the news at the right time to let Ning Hanwang know that Liu Yan was about to marry someone else.

Upon hearing the news, Ning Hanwang left Pan Xiangru without hesitation, left Tongrou County without saying goodbye, and rushed to Shengjing without stopping.

He originally wanted to fulfill his promise and send Yan'er to marry as his sworn brother, but he didn't expect Yan'er to suddenly express her love and be willing to be his concubine.

How could he resist a pretty girl who was only 20 years old and more than ten years younger than him? After falling into the land of tenderness, he could no longer think of Pan Xiangru.

Mu Rong dressed exquisitely to cover up her postpartum weakness, and looked radiant as she went to welcome Ning Hanwang home. Unexpectedly, she ran into him and Liu Yan, who were talking to each other in front of the Ning Mansion.

She had seen Pan's portrait, and she didn't look like this.

Oh, another new woman?

Ning Hanwang, you are really capable.

Mu Rong bit her back teeth, forced a smile, and walked over slowly.

"The master is back."

She greeted first and then looked at Liu Yan.

"Who is this noble man?"

Liu Yan had admired the master for a long time, so she naturally recognized him as his wife and bowed to him.

"I am Liu Yan, respectfully wishing Madam Ning good health."

"I am a commoner girl, honored to meet your Madam, I hope you will not abandon me."

Mu Rong was very polite and did not behave in the least bit out of decorum.

"Miss Liu is too modest."

"I think you are the master's distinguished guest. Please come in and have a chat."

Liu Yan looked at Ning Han with an inquiring look.

Ning Hanwang understood and whispered.

"Wait for me in the guest room."

The tone sounded familiar, and Mu Rong felt the pain of betrayal, her smile becoming more and more wooden.

Compared with Mu Rong, Liu Yan's smile is more charming and gorgeous.

"Yes, thank you, sir, and thank you, madam."

Ning Hanwang smiled and watched Liu Yan leave, then turned to look at Mu Rong and immediately turned serious.

"You come with me."

Mu Rong was in a bad mood and forced herself to smile.

"Master, please go first."

The couple walked side by side and came to Yanxiju together, sitting down on either side.

Mu Rong drank her tea calmly and asked questions nonchalantly.

"Master, you have known Miss Liu for a long time, right?"

Ning Hanwang sneered and asked back contemptuously.

"Aren't you the same?"

Mu Rong was slow to react.

"This is the first time I met her."

Ning Hanwang exposed it without mercy.

"Madam, why are you playing dumb? I'm not talking about Yan'er, I'm talking about Master Tong."

Mu Rong's heart was shocked.

"What, Master Tong?"

Ning Hanwang was a little jealous and mocked him.

"Madam, it's so boring to pretend like this. Since you and Tong Xinzhen have been in love for a long time, why did you choose to marry me?"

Mu Rong refused to admit it and asked anxiously who had informed on her.

"I don't understand what you are saying. Who are you listening to, Master?"

The warmth of the farewell was still fresh in his memory. As his son was so loving and filial, Ning Hanwang naturally couldn't bear to expose him.

"No one told me, but I can see clearly what you did."

Mu Rong was confident and denied it flatly.

"I have done nothing, how can you see it clearly, Master?"

Ning Hanwang didn't trust him at all.

"Madam, do you like to treat me like a fool and make fun of me?"

Mu Rong was thinking of a countermeasure while analyzing the situation.

"The master is far away from home and does not know the situation in the capital. Someone must have fabricated this slander to deliberately arouse the master's suspicion."

"Since you refuse to reveal the person, I can roughly guess who he is."

"Is it Fang Renshu?"

"The Fang family is plotting against the court, and Fang Renshu is plotting to make the master suspicious of me. This may be just one of the links. No matter who told me, I am sure that it was Fang Renshu who was behind it."

"Please be clear, Master. I don't know any Tong Xinzhen at all. However, I heard that Fang Renshu has a crush on him."

"Fang Renshu was pregnant and showed up at the Yueshengxingliang battle, bringing with her ministers and officials to welcome back Prince Dijin. This is a well-known fact, and everyone in the world is curious about whose child she is pregnant with."

"A few months ago, a major event happened in Shengjing. I'm sure you've heard about it. Fang Renshu announced without warning that the father of his missing daughter was none other than Tong Xinzhen. Even so, Master Tong didn't publicly announce that he was willing to marry her."

"From this, we can imagine how difficult her road to love was. I guess that since she became pregnant and Master Tong didn't want to marry her, she began to imagine a rival in love. I am unfortunate and have been hated by her for no reason. When the master is not in Shengjing, I am always bullied. It is very difficult for me to accompany the children and walk with difficulty."

Ning Hanwang's brows twitched slightly, and Mu Rong took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Just as Master said, I also want to ask, he is still unmarried. If we have been in love for a long time, why don't I just marry him? Could it be that you are deliberately provoking conflicts between husband and wife just to make Master unhappy at this moment?"

"Master, you really misunderstood. How could I be so idle and boring?"

"I've already given birth to two sons. Doesn't that prove my sincerity? Could it be that your two beloved sons are both descendants of Lord Tong? Take a closer look. Do they look alike?"

Mu Rong spoke eloquently and argued for a long time, and finally convinced Ning Hanwang.

It was not even a month after giving birth to Wei'er and Mu Rong was exhausted. After she finished speaking, she made an excuse to leave.

Ning Fengzhe followed closely behind and came to ask for a meeting.

"I am Ning Fengzhe, and I respectfully wish my father good health."

Ning Hanwang was extremely gentle in front of his beloved son.

"Didn't I send a message in advance that you don't need to greet me, just finish your own business and reunite over dinner?"

"Could it be that the servant did not inform you?"

Ning Fengzhe is as innocent as ever, without any impurities.

"I have done nothing wrong. It is just that I miss you so much that I am asking for an hour's leave to go back to your house to greet you."

Seeing that he remained filial and warm-hearted, Ning Hanwang couldn't help but smile with relief and opened his arms, motioning his son to come into his arms.

"Good boy, come here."

Ning Fengzhe stood up as he was told and walked away.

"Yes."

Ning Han looked around at his son and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yeah, Fengzhe has grown taller."

He carefully picked up his son, just like before, and let his son sit on his lap.

"It's also gotten heavier, which is great."

Ning Fengzhe looked at the other children, his tone slightly coquettish.

"As the child grows up, he will naturally grow taller and heavier. From now on, father can rest assured. I can protect you."

Ning Hanwang was amused by him, feeling a little happy and a little helpless.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's too early for you."

After setting the stage for the deep love between father and son, Ning Fengzhe gets down to business.

"I came here specially, firstly because I miss you, and secondly to report an important matter."

Ning Hanwang held his son in his arms, feeling extremely happy.

"Go ahead, Daddy is all ears."

Ning Fengzhe's words are sincere and make people feel like spring breeze.

"Last year, when we said goodbye, the words 'Zhen Lang' were not actually said by my mother."

"Grand Minister Fang taught me that as long as I said those words, my father would be safe. I was young and ignorant, and unfortunately fell into the trap. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it was not good. My father might misunderstand my mother because of this. Therefore, I hurried back to explain it clearly."

Ning Hanwang stared in surprise.

"Did she really teach you?"

Ning Fengzhe nodded.

"It is absolutely true. I dare not lie."

Ning Hanwang's suspicions were gone, and he was left with endless regret.

"Oh, I almost blamed you wrongly, Madam. I'll go and apologize."

Ning Fengzhe called him.

"Father, please wait. I heard that Aunt Liu is waiting in the guest room. Father, won't you go find her?"

Ning Hanwang was filled with guilt and was devoted to his wife with no interest in anything else.

"There's no rush to place her. Just let her wait."

Looking at Ning Hanwang walking away in a hurry, Ning Fengzhe smiled contemptuously.

A game of favoring a concubine and destroying the wife begins...
