Chapter 518: Monthly Allowance Problems Again
The falling maple leaves create a beautiful scene of green and gold.
Wen Jia was jogging, but his foot slipped and he almost fell into a pile of fallen leaves.
"Master, something terrible has happened. The third girl is crying from hunger again!"
Ning Fengzhe saw this and walked over quickly, reaching out to help him up. Unexpectedly, when he heard these words, he instantly felt like crying but had no tears left.
"I give her all my monthly allowance, but it's still not enough for her to eat?"
Wen Jia lowered his eyes, feeling a little embarrassed, as if he had made a mistake.
"Yes. I was just trying to say that Miss San was very greedy."
Ning Fengzhe felt physically exhausted and his thoughts were a little dazed.
"Isn't she sick?"
Wen Jia's eyebrows were drawn into a frown.
"Sir, did you forget so quickly? Several doctors in and outside the palace have examined the third young lady. They say she is in good health and just likes to eat and sleep."
Ning Fengzhe was helpless and gave the order immediately.
"Pawn all my clothes and accessories to buy her food."
Wen Jia was frightened and tried to persuade him.
"No, no, no."
"My lord, you have been hungry and sick for several times. If your clothes are not good enough, you will suffer from hunger and cold. How can you do that?"
Thinking of Xier's lovely appearance, Ning Fengzhe felt a little relieved, and a little sweetness gently pursed his lips.
"She's greedy and blames me for feeding her too much. I should be responsible for solving the problem."
Wen Jia helped the young master sit back on the couch and continued to persuade him.
"My lord, you are extremely smart. Why don't you think of another strategy? This method really won't work."
After hearing what he said, Ning Fengzhe regained some of his rationality and began to ponder.
"I am currently planning to favor my concubine and kill my wife. Perhaps there will be something useful in this."
"Let me think."
Wen Jia smiled and nodded.
"Well, please think about it, sir."
In a blink of an eye, Ning Fengzhe quickly came up with a plan.
"There is."
Wen Jia is always surprised every time he sees something.
"So fast?"
Ning Fengzhe walked to the desk, picked up the brush, wrote down a plan fluently, and handed it to Wen Jia.
"If you write it down carefully, it will be burned."
Wen Jia took it respectfully, glanced at it, and was slightly surprised.
"Ok?"
"Are you going to get Aunt Liu's monthly allowance again?"
Ning Fengzhe gave serious instructions.
"The method this time is different. The timing before and after must be precisely grasped. Remember this well."
Wen Jia responded solemnly.
"Yes."
Just a few days had passed since Zheng Pulian moved out of Ning Mansion. Ning Hanwang was feeling depressed because of being branded as unfilial. Unexpectedly, he also received news that Liu Yan had fainted from hunger during her pregnancy.
He was so frightened that he rushed to visit and inquire about the situation.
As a result, it turned out to be Shui Zhi's doing, just as Ning Fengzhe had planned.
Shui Zhi, who is your order? Ning Hanwang knows it all.
He still kept everything secret, did not announce it to anyone, and did not tell Liu Yan. He returned to Yanxiju alone, asked his wife to talk and asked her the reason.
Mu Rong had no idea and was extremely shocked.
"what?"
"Is there another problem with Sister Liu's monthly allowance?"
"How is this possible? I clearly paid special attention, made proper arrangements, and did it myself."
"How could it go wrong? Who could have tampered with it?"
Seeing her pretending, Ning Hanwang became furious and roared loudly.
"It's more than just the monthly allowance. You will have to cut off all your food, clothing and other necessities!"
"She's still pregnant. You've been pregnant before, too. How can you bear to treat her like this?"
His brows were grim, filled with a hatred that was difficult to dispel.
"Since you said 'again', Madam, you must have remembered what happened last time."
"Before, I took into consideration the relationship between husband and wife and only gave a warning without any punishment. May I ask, Madam, what happened this time?"
Mu Rong was full of grievances and had a lot to complain about.
"Master, I have no idea what happened."
Ning Han looked solemn and gloomy, with dark clouds hanging overhead.
"Don't know? You did it yourself, who else could have done it? Madam, just admit it, it's boring to beat around the bush."
He changed his attitude and became sarcastic.
"The Mu clan has always been lucky, and I've been away from the capital for a year, and they've become even more prosperous. Even if Madam admits her mistakes, I can't do anything, just like my mother, who can't do anything to you."
The shadow of his mother vaguely appeared on the master. Mu Rong curled her lips, extremely unhappy.
"I have explained many times that it is not me who wants to drive her away. She said she wanted to enjoy her life. How dare I stop her?"
Ning Hanwang continued to ridicule, taking the opportunity to express the resentment that had been suppressed for a long time.
"I have no intention of arguing about right or wrong."
"My mother left the house, and my wife took full charge of the household. It's only been a few days, and such a big thing has happened."
"If I had known this, I shouldn't have let my mother go. Madam, you are too generous. You should think about whether you have the ability to do so."
Hearing something was wrong, Mu Rong's eyes suddenly turned dim.
"You are deliberately making trouble, right?"
"What's the purpose? To bring back mother, or to take Fengzhe away?"
Unable to bear the thought of her turning the tables, Ning Hanwang placed his broad palm heavily on the table, making a thunderous sound that was intimidating.
"My only goal is Yan'er's safety!"
"Madam, please hand over the things you have occupied and return Yan'er's monthly allowance."
Mu Rong was on guard and was extremely unwilling to hear someone inexplicably try to covet her savings.
"I didn't take it at all, how can I return it?"
If there is no correction, Ning Hanwang will increase the punishment as a warning.
"I have no intention of arguing about the right and wrong of this matter. Please return it to me, Madam. Then, kneel in the courtyard of Xianyi Residence for a day and a night without food."
Mu Rong's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
"You dare to kneel before me?"
Ning Hanwang responded seriously and meticulously.
"Madam is wrong. As the head of the family, why can't I punish her?"
Mu Rong glared at him, very unconvinced.
"Where's the evidence? Just your one-sided statement?"
I don’t know when it started, but Ning Han felt disgust in his eyes.
"Without any evidence, I will not act rashly."
He took out the evidence he had collected, tapped it with his fingertips, and gestured arrogantly for her to take it herself.
"Ma'am, please take a look."
Mu Rong gritted her teeth and walked over reluctantly. She took it and looked at it unhappily. After just one glance, she was stunned.
"This……"
Who could have planned it so perfectly?
She couldn't believe what she saw, so she pinched her cheek to make sure she wasn't dreaming, and then she repeatedly checked the evidence.
No matter how many times he checked, he couldn't find any omissions, as if it was undoubtedly done by her.
However, this is not the case. How could this be?
Ning Hanwang looked indifferent and disdainful, but his words remained polite.
"The evidence is irrefutable. Even if it is handed over to Yin Sitai, Madam will be unable to refute it."
"The punishment can be elsewhere, or it can be imposed in the mansion. Madam, you can choose as you like."
"Please forgive me for reminding you that if you are punished elsewhere, not only will you be severely punished, but you will also be fined several times the amount. If you are punished in the mansion, it will be different. As husband and wife, I only ask you to return the money in full, kneel in Xianyi's courtyard, and behave yourself for a day and a night."
Mu Rong clenched her hands into fists in her sleeves, rustling them quietly as she tried hard to suppress her anger.
"Thank you for your mercy, Master. I will kneel down right now."
Ning Hanwang is bossy.
"All the money for food, clothing and other necessities should be converted into silver. Please give it to me first, madam, and then go and kneel down."
Thinking back to her husband's tenderness in the past, Mu Rong felt a pain in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Okay, sir, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
