Chapter 639 I'm Going to Punish You
Ning Yunxi personally saw Ning Xuanfeng and his sister off from Prince Dijin's mansion.
There were many funeral arrangements, and Ning Xuanfeng couldn't bear to see his sister work any harder, so he stopped her halfway and kindly advised her to go back to her room and have a good rest while she had some free time.
It would be disrespectful to refuse her brother’s kindness, so Ning Yunxi followed his lead, looked him aside, and turned back to her room.
After confirming that her third sister had left, Ning Jiewei grabbed her brother's sleeve and motioned him to stop.
"Second brother, are you really leaving?"
Ning Xuanfeng blinked, looking confused.
"If you don't leave, what's the point of staying?"
Ning Jiewei pursed her lips, looking bright and lovely.
"Second brother is so careless."
Ning Xuanfeng was immediately displeased when he heard the bad wording.
"how you said that?"
Ning Jiewei answered slowly and without rushing, and asked guiding questions.
"Just think about it, the mother makes a scene, and then what happens?"
Ning Xuanfeng ignored his own unhappiness and cooperated with his sister, thinking and guessing.
"What happened? How dare mother come to make trouble?"
Ning Jiewei acted like a sophisticated person and described the painting in a very professional manner.
"Second brother guessed wrong."
"Before the official condolences, without the emperor's permission, each person can only pay their respects once at most."
"She's been here before, and according to the rules, she can't come again."
Ning Xuanfeng continued to speculate.
"Could it be that she will ask for permission and cause trouble again?"
Ning Jiewei was proud of her intelligence and threw away a comment.
"How could the prince agree? Second brother is really stupid."
The comments were unkind, but also familiar. Ning Xuanfeng had heard them since he was a child, and he still felt uncomfortable with them, so he couldn't help but feel angry.
"You are the stupid one, don't laugh at your brother."
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me quickly, what will happen?"
Realizing that the joke had gone too far, Ning Jiewei quickly stopped herself.
"After mother, of course it's your father who will make trouble."
"They are the same character. They are always bossy and use words as an excuse to attack the third sister."
The gloom in Ning Xuanfeng's mind dissipated very quickly, and he suddenly felt enlightened when he heard the words.
"Without your reminder, I would never have thought of it."
"Father always likes to punish my third sister to kneel down. Once we leave, my third sister will definitely suffer."
Ning Jiewei was in high spirits and confident of victory.
"Ning Hanwang thought that I was the daughter of Aunt Pan and had always felt guilty towards me. Once I spoke, he couldn't bully Third Sister."
"We will hide in the dark and observe quietly, and then catch him off guard."
Ning Xuanfeng deeply agreed.
"good idea."
"There's no time to lose, let's find a place to hide."
Suddenly remembering something, he stopped where he was.
"Oh, by the way, my brother-in-law and my wife said that they are used to keeping confidants to prevent secrets from being eavesdropped. Xier went back to her room to rest, and they might clear the place or set up a formation, so we can't hide in there."
Ning Jiewei was in a dilemma.
"Ah? What should we do?"
Now, it was Ning Xuanfeng's turn to be outstanding and self-satisfied.
"Hmph, you are at your wits' end, right? You are really stupid."
"My wife has taught me a lot. I have already mastered the skills. It only takes a moment to break through."
"Just follow me and stay in the dark. It's a piece of cake."
Ning Jiewei covered her lips in astonishment, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Second brother is so powerful?"
Ning Xuanfeng is proud and dignified, with an imposing manner.
"That's natural."
"I am the best formation-breaking expert in the world."
"A hidden talent, unrivaled in the world."
On the other side, Ning Yunxi was stopped by Ning Hanwang before she returned to Jinlanju.
"Cough cough."
Hearing the sound of his father's fake cough, Ning Yunxi turned around and saluted.
"Please be blessed, father."
There were people coming and going in the courtyard of the palace. Ning Hanwang's attitude was no different from Mu Rong's. He looked very attentive and helped Ning Yunxi up with both hands.
"Xi'er is now Princess Yuexi. She greeted her father politely and courteously, setting an example for everyone."
"Good boy, please get up quickly."
Ning Yunxi responded in an orderly manner.
"Thank you, father."
"Your Majesty has been so generous and gracious, and has raised me with such kindness and love. I will remember it while I am alive, and I will never forget it after my death."
"My son, I will never betray my loyalty and filial piety."
Ning Hanwang was serious and pretended to be nice.
"Xi'er is polite, and it is an honor for the family."
"I heard that Emperor Yue passed away, so I came here to pay my respects."
Ning Yunxi is respectful in his manner.
"My son will lead the way, please, father."
Ning Hanwang made his meaning clear and asked for a conversation.
"I have already paid my respects to Emperor Yue."
"It's been a while since we last met. I have something to talk to you about."
Ning Yunxi's words and actions were appropriate, and he made a modest request.
"When a father teaches, his children should listen."
"Jinlanju is not far ahead. Please come this way, father."
When they arrived at Jinlanju, Ning Hanwang sat down and looked at Ning Yunxi arrogantly.
"Kneel down."
Expecting this to happen, Ning Yunxi smiled bitterly and knelt down as he was told.
"My child obeys."
Ning Hanwang looked solemn.
"When your father asks you questions, you must not play tricks and must answer truthfully."
Ning Yunxi responded.
"Yes."
Ning Hanwang is intimidating without being angry.
"The emperor said that Fengzhe is the prince, and declared that the eldest son of my house is someone else."
"Let me ask you, is this true or false? Who is Fengzhe's biological father?"
Ning Yunxi answered perfunctorily.
"Father thinks highly of his son. How dare I, a subject, refute the holy words?"
"In addition, father should know Emperor Yue's life story very well."
Hearing the sarcasm in the words, Ning Hanwang became angry.
"There's no one else here, who are you pretending for?"
"Tell me the truth, Madam, have you ever done anything to let me down? When she married me, was she pregnant with Fengzhe? Is Fengzhe my biological son?"
Ning Yunxi continued to be perfunctory.
"Father, please be wise. How could I know about your early life? When mother was pregnant with my elder brother, I was not even born yet."
Ning Hanwang understood her words on his own.
"You are being vague, which means the truth cannot be told."
"Is it?"
Ning Yunxi evaded the question.
"I really don't know."
Ning Han looked at the clear and bright scene and laughed bitterly.
"Oh... Madam, it's hard for me to keep it a secret."
"I was wondering, with so many men wanting her, why would she choose me? Turns out... hehe..."
Ning Yunxi simply pleaded.
"Father, please don't misunderstand mother."
"She is truly innocent."
Ning Hanwang became angry when he heard this.
"She's innocent?"
"Ning Yunxi, don't add fuel to the fire and make me confront Madam."
"I won't fall for your trick."
Listening to the malicious slander, Ning Yunxi did not think about the injustice and treated it calmly.
"I don't mean that."
Ning Hanwang was on guard.
"You expect us to divorce, but I just don't want you to."
Ning Yunxi emphasized.
"I really don't mean that."
Ning Hanwang turned a deaf ear to him, acted superior and talked to himself.
"No matter what happens to Fengzhe, my wife and I still have Feng'er and Wei'er."
"Last year, she accepted Yan'er and doted on Shan'er. I knew that was all false. But she tolerated Ru'er's affairs and accepted Wei'er. I could see that it was all true."
"Madam may have been hypocritical to me at first, but from now on, she must have been sincere and loving."
"So, don't even think about shaking our relationship. My wife and I are not like you, who treat marriage as a joke and divorce whenever you want."
Ning Yunxi was too lazy to explain herself and just agreed.
"That's what my father taught me."
Ning Hanwang was justified and took advantage of the incident to cause trouble.
"It is understandable that Madam finds it difficult to talk about Fengzhe's life story."
"You clearly knew about it, but you deliberately hid it from me. This is a heinous crime."
"Therefore, I will punish you."
