Chapter 519 Who is the person behind the scenes?

The flying dead leaves outline the front yard of Xianyi’s residence, adding a touch of moving charm.

Mu Rong was dressed in orange, almost blending in with the beautiful scenery in the courtyard. From a distance, it was difficult to spot the person kneeling under the tree.

Having lost her savings for no reason, Mu Rong felt only the breeze blowing, and she was filled with heartache.

She was afraid of being embarrassed, so she dismissed all the servants in the front yard. She was alone, thinking quietly about who had plotted against her. Suddenly, she heard the voice of her eldest son behind her.

“Why did mother kneel down?”

She had already given instructions not to allow servants to approach, so no one came to report.

When she turned around, she saw Feng Zhe kneeling beside her. Mu Rong couldn't help but be moved.

"Silly child, why are you kneeling? Your mother is being punished."

Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyebrows and looked into her eyes, showing deep affection and filial piety.

"The child naively guessed that the mother's suffering might be the father's order. The child was powerless and could not save the mother, so he could only accompany her to suffer the punishment to comfort her loving mother."

Mu Rong's eyes were filled with tears and she almost cried out loud.

"My dear child, if you have this heart, your mother will be satisfied. Get up soon."

She moved slightly and pointed to a stone bench on the side, signaling her son.

"Fengzhe, come and sit here."

"Why are you looking for your mother?"

It was just a simple show, Ning Fengzhe stood up and sat down as he was told.

"My child has questions about his studies and I ask my mother to help me solve them."

Mu Rong smiled gently.

"Well, you said."

Ning Fengzhe reached into his sleeve, took out a book and opened a page.

"Mother, please look, how do you dissect this?"

Mu Rong took a glance and had the answer.

"This is not difficult. Mother will teach you..."

Mu Rong told the story slowly and Ning Fengzhe listened attentively.

He was not puzzled, he was just looking for an excuse to come up with a plan. After hearing what she said, he immediately showed an understanding.

"So that's how it is. I understand for sure."

Seeing that her son understood everything immediately, Mu Rong temporarily forgot the pain in her knee, smiled happily and gave her affirmation.

"Fengzhe is very talented. It is my blessing to have you."

Ning Fengzhe sat upright and smiled back.

"The child may be of average intelligence, but he can learn quickly because his mother taught him well."

After the politeness, he got down to business.

"Mother hasn't answered yet, why are you kneeling down? Is it really your father punishing you?"

At this point, Mu Rong felt pain in her knees, and her expression changed, looking distressed.

"Ah."

Ning Fengzhe spoke out angrily and stood up for the injustice.

"Father, why did you give the order quietly without making a sound? It seems like there is some shameful reason."

"Even as the head of the family, he can't be so unreasonable."

"What has mother done wrong? If there is injustice, I will be the first to disagree. I must go to him to reason and give justice to mother."

Mu Rong thought for a moment and then revealed her true feelings.

"To be honest..."

From beginning to end, after finishing the story, she sighed, her feelings conveying a sense of weakness.

"Ugh."

"On the day I drove Zheng away, I noticed that you were pretending to cry. I think you understood my intention and cooperated with me."

"I thought that with the mother and son working together, everything would go smoothly and the fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be over. I didn't expect that she would still refuse to settle down in the Tan Mansion and resist stubbornly, trying to return to the Ning Mansion."

Ning Fengzhe asked calmly without showing any emotion.

"So, mother thinks this was grandma's plan?"

Mu Rong looked confused.

"if not?"

"You have another opinion?"

Ning Fengzhe's argument was reasonable and gave her an idea.

"From what I heard, I think this might be Aunt Liu's plan."

"She made her mother kneel down and won her father's heart. The one who benefited from this should be Aunt Liu."

Mu Rong denied it outright.

"Liu is extremely stupid, how could she have such a scheme?"

She analyzed every detail and came to a conclusion.

"You haven't seen the evidence with your own eyes. The evidence is very clear and leaves me no room for excuse. This plan is quick and efficient, and the person behind it is not a simple person."

"Either Zheng Pulian teamed up with her son-in-law to deal with me; or, it was that Old Madam Tan couldn't tolerate Zheng and was making every move carefully to get us to take Zheng back on our own initiative."

"The only person who has a brilliant plan and is aiming to cause trouble for the Ning family is Tan Peiyou and his mother."

Ning Fengzhe subtly aroused Mu Rong's suspicion.

"The mother's analysis is reasonable, but the child's thinking may not be wrong."

"After all, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. If Aunt Liu is really slow, it's fine. But if she is pretending and is waiting for Mother to let down her guard and then strike a fatal blow, then the consequences will be disastrous."

Mu Rong's pupils lit up, as if she had suddenly realized something.

"That makes sense. We need to take precautions in advance, otherwise if something unexpected happens, we will regret it."

Ning Fengzhe smiled and made a suggestion.

"Mother sees thousands of miles away."

"Some time ago, mother rescued a baby girl from the emperor. In my humble opinion, it is very appropriate to train her to be an insider and hide in Wangyou Residence."

Mu Rong was caught off guard and refused repeatedly.

"No, no, have you forgotten? That was prepared for Ning Yunxi."

Ning Fengzhe refuted.

"Ning Yunxi is still young, why is mother so anxious?"

Mu Rong didn't understand, so she asked.

"Didn't you say that we should make plans early?"

Ning Fengzhe expressed his views in a very logical manner.

"But right now, Aunt Liu's place is more important."

In order to solve Xier's trouble, he has thought of a complete plan.

"Recently, my child has been trying to please Aunt Liu, and it has been quite effective."

"During a conversation, I accidentally found out about her past, and I thought that maybe I could come up with a plan."

"This is a good opportunity, please listen to it, mother."

Mu Rong hesitated a little and pondered for a moment before responding.

"What do you think."

Ning Fengzhe talked incessantly about Liu Yan's life, picking out the useful parts and describing them in detail.

As expected, his mother was moved, and he took advantage of the situation to give her some advice.

"Mother raised an informant and can create the illusion that they share the same suffering based on Aunt Liu's experience. You don't have to tell the informant all the plans, just let her express herself as much as possible, and you will be able to conceal the truth and avoid suspicion."

Mu Rong nodded deeply and agreed.

"Don't miss a good opportunity. This is a good plan."

She changed the subject and explained her concerns.

"But what about Ning Yunxi?"

Ning Fengzhe looked at her with sincere eyes.

"If the mother can be trusted, the matter is all up to the child."

Fearing that her son was too young and ignorant to accomplish anything, Mu Rong raised some questions.

"You are responsible for finding the right person and training him up?"

Understanding her concerns, Ning Fengzhe prescribed the right remedy.

"Yes. If I don't understand something, I will ask my mother to make sure everything goes well."

As he said this, he tried hard to hold back his nausea and acted like a spoiled child.

"I want to do something for you, and I really want to make a contribution. Please, mother, give me a chance, okay?"

Seeing her beloved son showing weakness, Mu Rong couldn't resist at all and immediately softened her attitude and admitted defeat.

"Okay, okay, mother agreed."

"Fengzhe is sensible, so why wouldn't mother respond?"

After that, she got back to business.

"However, cultivating informants cannot solve the urgent problem. We need to send people to get information about who is behind this. Only by understanding the person behind it can we prevent it from happening again."

Ning Fengzhe volunteered.

"They are not on guard against me, mother, please be at ease. I will go and try to find out."
