Chapter 523: 1 Taste of Blame
Ning Hanwang was worried and cautious, and knelt down with trepidation.
"Father, please don't misunderstand me. Please listen to what I have to say."
"Did the son-in-law deliberately write such nonsense just to tease my father and mother?"
Mu Huan gave a reasonable explanation.
"Why not? You are a ridiculous person."
Ning Hanwang felt wronged and was very anxious.
"The consequences of teasing are obvious. My father and mother will be furious, and I will definitely be punished. Why should I ask for trouble?"
Mu Huan was reckless and made accusations.
"You have ulterior motives and intend to kill me with one blow, so I can't punish you."
Ning Han looked at him with confusion in his eyes.
"What is my motive?"
Mu Huan's thoughts were racing. He made things difficult for Ning Hanwang and had many brilliant ideas.
"You favor your concubine over your wife, and you are afraid that your concubine cannot defeat my Rong'er, so you took action to eliminate the enemy for Liu."
Ning Hanwang couldn't understand, his pupils were filled with surprise.
"It's just a few pieces of paper. No matter how angry the two elders are, it won't endanger their lives, right?"
Mu Huan covered his heart and lied to everyone.
"How could it be so? I almost couldn't breathe just now."
Ning Hanwang was even more surprised.
"Father's intention is not only to sue me for wronging the lady, but also to sue me for harboring evil intentions?"
Mu Huan looked calm and took it as a matter of course.
"You have been dissatisfied with me for a long time and have been holding a grudge against me for many years. Even a desperate dog will jump over the wall. Is it okay for me to sue you for trying to kill us?"
Ning Hanwang tried hard to suppress his anger and remain polite.
"Father summoned me to see you, is it to clarify the reason and resolve the conflict, or is it just to rant and rant for no reason?"
Mu Huan caught the opportunity and rebuked him harshly.
"Who are you? How dare you question me?"
Ning Hanwang hurriedly lowered his head, softened his tone, and spoke in a gentle manner.
"My son-in-law knows his mistake."
"I just think that as a family, if we sit down and have a good talk, there is no conflict that cannot be resolved."
Mu Huan refused to give in and continued to attack him without missing a single opportunity.
"You still dare to teach me?"
Taking advantage of a moment's pause in the conversation, Mu Erxuan expressed his opinion leisurely, with a relaxed look, but his meaning was full of sarcasm.
"My second brother-in-law is so overbearing, I have to say a few fair words."
"My father was furious and weak, but you didn't try to comfort him but instead argued with him. This is not the behavior of a filial son."
"Just now, my father praised you generously, saying that you are filial to your parents. Could it be that in my second brother-in-law's heart, only the elders of the Ning family are worthy of filial piety, and my father and mother are not your relatives?"
"It's too inhumane for my second brother-in-law to see it this way."
Mur Chen had just gotten married and was very passionate. Before he opened his mouth to speak, he did not forget to gaze intently at his wife, his eyes conveying his feelings.
"I also have a few humble opinions."
"As a junior, my second brother-in-law has no respect for his elders. I would like to remind you that if this situation gets out, others will inevitably talk about the Ningguo Mansion and say that it is not well-educated. Then, it will be your Ning family who will lose face."
Faced with the two people's unreasonable demands, Ning Hanwang felt that speaking too much would lead to mistakes, so he remained silent.
No matter what Ning Hanwang did, Mu Huan was always unhappy and kept complaining and cursing.
"Are you thinking of keeping silent, fooling around and letting it go?"
"Master Ning, you only know how to avoid problems and don't want to deal with them directly. Is this the noble character of your Ning clan?"
Whether you say it or not, everything is wrong. Ning Hanwang feels exhausted.
"You are all complaining and blaming others, which is unreasonable. I beg you to forgive me, my father. It is really difficult for me to deal with this."
Mu Erxuan argued convincingly.
"What my second brother-in-law said is so unreasonable. It was obviously you who talked back to my father first."
Mur Chen echoed.
"What Third Brother said is absolutely true."
"My second brother-in-law was disrespectful and bullied my father at will. As his sons, we risked our lives to protect our father. Is that wrong?"
"Just imagine, if your father were still alive and was bullied by others, would you remain silent?"
Mu Huan pretended to be helpless.
"Xuan'er, Chen'er, please be patient. The Ning family is a famous and prestigious family. Lord Ning is in a high position and has great power. I can understand that he is a bit arrogant."
"I blame myself for being rude and speechless. I will correct it now. Lord Ning, please do not blame me."
"Please respond seriously. What are you going to do about the rumors?"
Ning Hanwang felt uncomfortable all over after hearing this and had no choice but to bow his head.
"I am very grateful to my father for his kindness."
"Reporting to Father, I have been investigating and investigating these days to find the person who caused the trouble. I humbly believe that only by finding the person behind the scenes can we clear the source of the trouble and stop the rumors from getting worse."
Mu Huan's expression made me look a little careless.
"That's true, but with your ability, when will you be able to catch the rumormongers? What if they are endless and their number is endless? What will you do?"
Ning Hanwang kept his promise without hesitation and vowed to do so.
"Please be at ease, father. I will do my best to help you solve the problem."
Mu Huan was very picky and he could always find words that displeased him no matter how much he talked.
"According to your method, we can only wait foolishly for the truth to come out, and in the end we have to thank Lord Ning for his deep affection?"
Ning Hanwang changed the subject and replied earnestly.
"If you can't wait, it's fine for father to check it himself."
Mu Huan showed a hint of disdain and continued to find fault.
"You favored your concubine over your wife, and caused this kind of trouble. In the end, you asked me to help you while you sat back and did nothing. It's just a huge joke."
After just a simple conversation, Ning Hanwang felt exhausted.
"Yes, my son-in-law is wrong. He shouldn't cause trouble for my father."
Capturing the word "wrong", Mu Huan made a rash conclusion.
"So, you finally admit that you favor your concubine and destroy your wife?"
Ning Hanwang was caught off guard and startled.
"The son-in-law is just following his father's words to persuade him."
Mu Huan looked on coldly, indifferent.
"It's unnecessary. Why should I need your persuasion?"
"What I want is for you to come forward and resolve this matter properly."
Ning Hanwang had a wry smile on his face, his expression full of embarrassment.
"Yes, my son-in-law is rude and meddling in other people's business."
Mu Huan's brows were furrowed with sadness, and he looked as if he had suffered some grievance.
"You're just meddling in other people's business by saying a few words to comfort me. Does Lord Ning still treat me as an outsider?"
"You have been pitying me for years, but I can't even get a single bit of warmth from you. You are still as cold and indifferent as before, and you haven't changed at all."
After trying his best to please, the result was not satisfactory. Ning Hanwang was left angry and helpless.
"I...you..."
Mu Huan looked arrogant and refused to give in.
"how?"
"Mr. Ning is not in the right, so he wants to turn the tables and accuse me of deliberately finding fault?"
Ning Hanwang was completely speechless.
Mu Huan held on and refused to give up.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Are you trying to hide again?"
"We are a family, why do you only want to take care of yourself? Humph, in such a big Ning clan, there is not even one responsible person."
It was not right to reply, and it was not right not to reply either. Ning Hanwang was stuck in his current situation and didn't know what to do.
Zou Yuxiu is slow and steady.
"Perhaps the conversation is not going well, and my dear son-in-law does not understand what my master means."
Ning Hanwangmu Ran forced out a humble expression.
"I beg mother for advice."
Zou Yuxiu remained calm and made her request.
"Catching the person behind the scenes is indeed important, but it is a long-term strategy."
"Right now, the most important thing is for the son-in-law to take the initiative to stand up and publicly declare that he values his wife and has no interest in concubines."
Ning Hanwang was shocked.
"what?"
