Chapter 630 I don’t need it
After Gu Yuanqiong passed away, Ning Hanwang attached himself to Mu Rong and changed his mind to serve Gu Nianting.
Seeing Ning Fengzhe gradually gaining power in the court, Ning Hanwang began to have other ideas; upon learning that Ning Fengzhe intended to recognize the enemy as his mother and replace Gu Nianting's identity as the second prince, Mu Rong decisively chose to stand with Ning Hanwang.
The couple planned to gain power over their son to protect themselves.
Ning Fengzhe was dismissive and used a random trick to eliminate the two.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fengzhe's plan failed.
After finding out the reason why the plan failed, Ning Fengzhe came to Liyongju in anger.
"Xi'er, was it you who figured out my plan and reminded father and mother to protect themselves?"
"I used a trick to eliminate them. Did you secretly help them?"
Ning Yunxi stood up, humbly lowering her brows and looking submissive.
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhe was furious after being indulged in everything and getting such a result.
"Since you're pregnant, you should just take care of the baby. What are you doing?!"
Ning Yunxi felt guilty and distressed, and gave advice in a bitter way.
"Big brother, you know how to address your father and mother respectfully, but why are you asking me?"
"You are the most filial son in Yuesheng. How can you be so cruel and scheme against your filial piety?"
"Big brother, wake up, they are our parents."
Seeing that she was still stubborn, Ning Fengzhe became anxious and angry.
"I told you before, they are not your parents."
"Didn't you also say that the paternity test of Prince Di Jin has confirmed this?"
"They adopted you just to use you. Why should you protect such parents?"
"I have spared no efforts and cherished you for so many years. How can you go against me?"
The love of parents and the kindness of brother suddenly stood opposite each other. Ning Yunxi was caught in a dilemma and burst into tears.
"How can I give up a kinship relationship that spans thirty years?"
"The reason why I reluctantly gave up my brother is because I couldn't bear to leave you."
"Brother, how can I live without my family?"
As soon as she cried, Ning Fengzhe immediately softened his heart, and considerately supported her and sat with her.
"You have children and me, isn't that enough of a warm family?"
Ning Yunxi told her worries.
"I don't want to lose any of you."
Ning Fengzhe was filled with helplessness.
"But we cannot coexist. You must give up one side."
"You hesitate at your own peril."
Ning Yunxi suddenly had an idea and thought of a solution, so he proposed it.
"If I am gone, can you make peace?"
"If possible, I will commit suicide as soon as I give birth to the child."
Ning Fengzhe's elegant expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"If you are gone, I will bury the whole world to accompany you in your burial."
"If you dare to die, the world will not exist. You might as well give it a try."
Ning Yunxi felt lost and at a loss.
"Then what should I do to get you to show mercy?"
Hearing her questions, Ning Fengzhe felt upset and distressed, but he still kept giving her advice.
"Xi'er, why can't you figure it out?"
"They intend to harm you, they are not good people."
"I may seem cruel, but in fact, I am saving you."
"Knowing that they are in control of the situation, how will you be harmed?"
Not wanting to see the family split apart, Ning Yunxi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"My death is not worth it. I beg you, big brother, to let them go."
Ning Fengzhe showed a hint of impatience.
"How can I let them go when you are so ignorant?"
Ning Yunxi raised her eyes and tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Once our parents are gone, it will shock the Ning and Mu clans. With my brother's methods, they won't be able to protect us."
"Big brother, being alone is interesting, isn't it?"
Ning Fengzhe looked away indifferently, not wanting to face her, and not in the mood to help her up.
"I'm not like you."
"With you and the children, I am very content and don't feel lonely."
Persuasion failed, Ning Yunxi had no choice but to make the decision.
"I have already given in to my father's old illness; this time, I will not watch my brother do something foolish."
It was rare to hear her say such harsh words, Ning Fengzhe still felt it was novel and smiled knowingly.
"how?"
"Madam Yuexi, do you intend to have a duel of wits with me?"
"Just based on your current status?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were determined.
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhe was genuinely happy to have the opportunity to play and learn from her.
"Heh, interesting."
"We, brother and sister, have never had a head-on confrontation."
"I've been free lately, so I might as well have some fun."
"I will give you the power, and see if you can protect them."
Xier was weak during her pregnancy, so everything was done to please her.
With this in mind, Ning Fengzhe, as always, kept his cleverness to himself and gave in to his sister.
In just two days, the winner was decided. Ning Fengzhe was overjoyed and went to Liyongju.
"You won, very impressive."
"How does it feel to take their lives and play with them at will?"
"You feel comfortable, too, right?"
"I knew you would like it."
Ning Yunxi didn't feel any joy at all.
"I do not like."
Ning Fengzhe was slightly startled.
"Don't like it? How could that be?"
"Seeing them like headless flies, panic-stricken and helpless, I thought you were enjoying it, too."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were dull.
"Big brother, you've had enough fun, can you let them go?"
Seeing that his sister was unhappy, Ning Fengzhe spoke out his true feelings to comfort her.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were pregnant, I would never have tolerated it."
Ning Yunxi was neither cold nor indifferent.
"Thank you big brother."
Ning Fengzhe spoke softly.
"Be at ease and take care of your baby. Do you hear me?"
Ning Yunxi said calmly and seriously, and asked him to sit down.
"Yes."
"Little sister, I want to speak from the bottom of my heart, please listen to me, brother."
He knew without thinking that she was going to persuade him to be good again. Ning Fengzhe sighed in frustration but was still willing to listen.
"Ah—you say."
Ning Yunxi asked out of confusion.
"I have practiced all the filial piety you taught me, but why has my brother changed?"
Ning Fengzhe sat next to his sister, telling her his innermost thoughts in a very serious manner.
"I was completely hypocritical to them. Can't you see it?"
"When did I ever teach you to be like this, to be so close to each other?"
"They won't feel sorry for you at all if you suffer like this."
Ning Yunxi is stubborn.
"Everything depends on human effort. As long as you work hard, good results will come."
Ning Fengzhe discusses matters of truth.
"Everything depends on human effort, which means that it is up to human effort to plan things, not you, who are so foolish as to only use your true heart."
Ning Yunxi looked him in the eye, questioning him solemnly.
"Are you also being false to me?"
Ning Fengzhe was filled with surprise, shock and anger.
"You actually asked such a question, you...I..."
"Ning Yunxi, you really have no heart."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were confused.
"I really don't know, that's why I ask."
"At this point, I am completely confused."
"You never told me you didn't care about them."
Ning Fengzhe looked displeased.
"But I've said it many times, I only care about you."
"Don't you understand that?"
Ning Yunxi frowned and shook her head. Wherever she looked, she felt that her brother was getting farther and farther away from her.
"I can't understand what you are saying, and I can't understand you either. Family members are the most important people in this world. Why would you abandon them?"
Ning Fengzhe explained carefully.
"I didn't abandon them on purpose, they abandoned you first."
"I'm speaking up for you, what's wrong with that?"
Ning Yunxi keeps people at a distance.
"I do not need."
I never thought that after thirty years of selfless dedication, I would only get a cold comment: I don’t need it.
These four short words shocked Ning Fengzhe's heart.
"You are hopeless."
