Chapter 564 Family Obsession
Ning Hanwang judges right from wrong in a very logical and reasonable manner.
"It's understandable that Feng Zhe Chunzhi couldn't see through Ning Yunxi's character."
"It's a bit unreasonable for Madam to be angry with a child."
He watched the situation develop, waiting for the right opportunity to act, and just at this moment he stood up to judge the situation, pretending to be generous and maintaining his image as a kind father.
Mu Rong was furious when she saw this.
Due to the power of Concubine Xian and Prince Li, she could only swallow her anger and smile.
"Master, you are right. I was indeed reckless."
Ning Hanwang's tone, the rain has stopped and the water is sparkling.
"Madam, it's good that you admit your mistakes. Please advise the children and remember to be patient."
Mu Rong acted reasonable and responded gracefully and modestly.
"Oh, I see."
Ning Hanwang smiled with satisfaction, turned to his beloved son, and kept his word with patience.
"Be good, Fengzhe, listen to your father. If you listen carefully, your father will buy you some candy."
Ning Fengzhe suddenly became irritated and looked unhappy.
"My child has grown up, why does my father still talk to me like he is coaxing a child?"
When facing his son, Ning Hanwang could not muster up any anger, only love.
"In my heart, you will always be a child."
"I still remember the day when your father was demoted and left Beijing in loneliness. You came running to see him off reluctantly. Your filial piety moved the heavens. In your father's eyes, you will always be only eight years old."
Ning Fengzhe curled his lips and emphasized the reminder.
"The child is already old enough to dance with the spoon."
He reads people's expressions and responds accordingly.
"Father, if you have any instructions, please tell me directly. I will obey you."
Ning Han looked at him with pride and couldn't help but touch his son's head.
"Okay, Fengzhe is really sensible."
"As a father, I know that you came up with this false plan because you are filial and just want to relieve your parents' worries, right?"
Ning Fengzhe pursed his lips slightly and nodded.
"Yes."
Ning Hanwang cherishes his beloved son and is generous with his praise.
"Fengzhe's filial piety is worthy of emulation by children all over the world."
"However, Ning Yunxi is extremely cunning. This plan is extremely dangerous."
"It's not that I don't trust you, nor do I doubt that you are not as smart as Ning Yunxi. It's that I am worried about your situation."
He suddenly changed the subject and became serious.
"In fact, I have long seen that Ning Yunxi is not an ordinary person. These few days, it seems that he has fallen into a trap, but in fact he is using the trap to test Ning Yunxi's scheming."
"Since I found out, I have lost my appetite."
Listening to his pretentious statement, Mu Rong quietly rolled her eyes several times.
Ning Fengzhe saw through it but didn't say anything, and cooperated with the question.
"Excuse me, father, why do I not want tea or food?"
Ning Hanwang reached out and patted his shoulders twice.
"I am worried about your safety, my dear son."
Ning Fengzhe's pupils were filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and his emotions were sincere and heartfelt.
"Thank you for your love, father. I am deeply touched."
Seeing that the temperature was just right, Ning Hanwang made a request.
"Then you just listen and stay away from Ning Yunxi, okay?"
Ning Fengzhe acted accordingly and rejected the suggestion with ease.
"In my humble opinion, Ning Yunxi is nothing to worry about."
"Father is very smart and can counterattack others. He is much smarter than her. With her strength, how can she be a match for father?"
In front of his beloved son, Ning Hanwang straightened his back and tried to save face.
"Of course I am not afraid, but I am afraid that you are unable to do it."
Ning Fengzhe took the opportunity to flatter him, making him lose face.
"With my father teaching me, how can I be incapable of doing it?"
"I believe that hard work can make up for one's shortcomings, and dull learning can accumulate success. As long as my father is willing to teach me, it will be as easy as taking something out of a bag for me to outsmart Ning Yunxi."
Ning Hanwang could neither admit that he had no talent nor could he defeat Ning Yunxi, so he was speechless on the spot.
"This...I..."
Ning Fengzhe looked humbled and unhappy.
"Father, do you want to say that your son is a piece of rotten wood that is difficult to carve and cannot be cultivated?"
Ning Hanwang immediately denied it.
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are a teachable kid with great potential."
Ning Fengzhe smiled happily.
"I also think that my father's wisdom is unparalleled and unprecedented."
"Then let's make a deal. You teach me, and we can work together as father and son."
Ning Hanwang looked embarrassed and responded reluctantly.
"That's... okay... it's settled."
During the conversation, Ning Fengzhe had already thought of how to prove that Xier was not good at strategy and just had good luck.
All you need to do is to move their hearts with words and temporarily relax their guard. When Xier grows up a little and his strategies mature, he will be able to deal with them easily.
Before Ning Fengzhe could come up with a plan, Mu Rong suddenly blurted out something.
"Master, I suddenly discovered something strange."
Ning Fengzhe swallowed the words back silently, his eyebrows twitched slightly, and he sensed something was wrong.
Ning Han looked confused and asked.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Rong's comments are very insightful and seem to be able to see the big picture from the details.
"When I think back to Ning Yunxi's every move, it doesn't seem like she saw through Fengzhe or schemed against him. Instead, it seems like she trusted Fengzhe without a doubt and was being controlled by him."
Ning Fengzhe's heart was shocked, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Could it be that if I conceal my cleverness and stick to my simplicity, she would be able to deduce it?
If this is true, all the strategies we have made before will be exposed and all our efforts will fail.
Ning Hanwang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"That's what the lady said."
"From my perspective, Ning Yunxi's treatment of Fengzhe really seemed to reveal her true feelings."
He was puzzled and continued to ask questions.
"This is how the same thing?"
"Could it be that she didn't see through the falsehood?"
"How could she not see through Fengzhe's plan?"
Ning Fengzhe remained silent, his expression calm, but in fact his palms were covered with cold sweat and he was as frightened as a cicada.
Mu Rong judged the situation based on the situation.
"Whether she sees through it or not has nothing to do with her intelligence, it all depends on her thoughts. Obviously, she is attached to the brotherhood and sister relationship and cannot face the reality, so naturally she doesn't want to see through it."
"Considering this reward, in my opinion, Ning Yunxi is soft-hearted and does not respond to hardship, and she is very eager for family affection."
After hearing this, Ning Fengzhe breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, my mother did not suspect that I was being too clever.
Mu Rong twisted her chin lightly and frowned as she analyzed.
"As long as we give her a little sweetness, she will be dizzy and let us manipulate her; otherwise, she will be full of tricks and it is hard to guard against her."
Ning Hanwang suddenly became enlightened.
"What you say makes sense, madam."
"No wonder Fengzhe, who is pure and innocent, was able to deceive her."
Mu Rong was methodical and summarized her experience.
"This time she blamed me. After receiving the silver, she spoke harshly to her, which caused us to fail and we didn't have any money left."
"In the future, we must wait until we succeed before we reveal our intentions."
As he listened, Ning Fengzhe realized that something was wrong and felt something was not right.
"What does mother want to do?"
There was a hint of cunning in Mu Rong's smile.
"I think I can use her kinship obsession..."
Xier's weak spot was inexplicably exposed by her. Ning Fengzhe was extremely anxious and did not care about etiquette for a moment and interrupted her train of thought directly.
"How can an outsider be sincere? Mother, don't be fooled by her. Be careful of her tricks."
The son she had carefully brought up was actually not as good as a five-year-old child. Mu Rong looked at him, spoke earnestly and rebuked him sternly.
"She is clearly sincere, you are really blind!"
After saying this, she had an idea in her mind, and she couldn't wait to get up and go straight to Penglai Residence.
Ning Fengzhe was frightened and stood up in a panic to stop it.
"Mother, mother, please stay!"
Ning Hanwang stretched out his arms and blocked his way.
"Don't worry, Fengzhe. Your mother knows her limits and nothing will happen to her."
Not wanting his son to be in danger, he watched him tenderly and gave him warm advice.
"Fengzhe, listen to me..."
Ning Fengzhe couldn't break free and was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
