“Really? Where is he?” Ning Yuan was overjoyed. Ever since the soul-forgetting incident, some of the clan members had been criticizing Hao LAN in private. Some said that he had not been strict enough to keep things under control. Some felt that he was not innocent because Ning Wen, who had been to the storeroom, had gone missing. As a result, Hao LAN had no evidence to prove his innocence. Although most of them believed in Hao LAN, gossip was a fearful thing after all!
“I’ve already sent people to keep an eye on him, acting patriarch, elder! Ning Wen has already told me everything. ” Ning haolan spoke frankly, then repeated what Ning Wen had said earlier.
When the elders heard this, they were all shocked, because this answer was too unexpected. None of them had thought that Ning Wen’s soul-stealing was actually under Ning Xi ‘er’s instructions.
“How is this possible?” Ning Yuan was especially surprised. Why would Xi ‘er, who was usually very obedient, do such a thing? This was too unacceptable.
In his eyes, Xi ‘er had always been someone to be cherished. Although she was a little willful sometimes, it was not a big deal. Moreover, he also believed that this was because she had lost her parents when she was young, so he doted on her even more. In addition, Xi’ er had always lived very carefully, as if walking on thin ice. What was the purpose of such a cautious Xi ‘er doing such a thing? He could not understand.
“Acting clan head! Nothing is impossible. You’ve never really understood her. If you knew what the people below were saying about her, you wouldn’t be so surprised. ” Ning haolan helplessly reminded him. He knew that his first uncle would not believe him so easily. Besides, this would hurt his first uncle quite a bit. How would he feel if the junior he had always doted on and loved like a Pearl had been playing with him?
“This ...” Ning Yuan was speechless. Was what Hao LAN said true? Had Xi ‘er been lying to him all this time and acting with him? He could not believe it. How old was Xi ‘er? If she had been trying to please him since she was young, then how deep was her shrewdness?
“Acting clan head! Everyone says that Ning Xi ‘er is our ning family’s most favored young lady, and fifth miss has always been arrogant and domineering. Even fifth miss’s maidservants and attendants are superior to the others. ” At this time, the third elder slowly spoke.
“There’s such a thing? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Ning Yuan’s eyes widened as he asked in disbelief.
“I’ve only heard of it, and I don’t have any concrete evidence, so how am I supposed to tell you? Moreover, what you hear is false, and what you see is true. It’s useless to just listen to others, the key is that you have to see it for yourself. ” The third elder said helplessly.
When Leng ruoxue saw third elder’s expression, she could not help but curse in her heart. What a cunning old fox. All the elders present, except for Ning Yuan, probably knew what kind of person Ning Xi ‘er was. Yet, she did not tell anyone. Clearly, the drunkard’s intentions were not in the wine!
They didn’t care about Ning Xi ‘er at all. Just Ning Xi’ er alone wouldn’t be able to cause much trouble! The people they were worried about were Ning Yuan and ning haolan. The reason they had left Ning Xi ‘er alone was probably to create an opportunity for Ning Yuan and ning haolan to make mistakes. However, although Ning Xi’ er was willful and pampered, she had done a good job of keeping up appearances. At the very least, she would not let anyone find any real evidence against her! Even if he was caught, he could just find an excuse that he was young and insensible.
It was precisely because of this that Ning Yuan and ning haolan had never encountered any major problems. However, ning haolan was the one who had picked the fight, so she was really curious about the elders ‘reaction.
“You’ve also heard about it?” Ning Yuan turned his gaze to the other elders present.
“I’ve heard about it. ” All the elders said in unison. This was no secret, so how could they not know? Only the acting Master would be so silly as to think that Ning Xi ‘er was an honest and obedient girl!
“Dammit!” Ning Yuan gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and the anger in his heart was slowly rising. His hands that were holding the chair’s handle were holding it so tightly that his nails were sinking in.
“Please don’t be angry, acting patriarch. This is the evidence I’ve collected regarding Ning Xi ‘er’s crimes! Please take a look!” Ning haolan handed over a palm-sized booklet.
After Ning Yuan took it, his hands trembled as he opened it and browsed through it. His face turned from white to red, from red to green, from green to black to purple, and from purple to black. The colors alternated one after another, like a palette, and it was not exciting.
While he was watching, Leng ruoxue and the rest were silently drinking their tea, and no one disturbed him.
Suddenly!” Bang!’ With a crisp sound, Ning Yuan slammed the booklet on the table. With a dark face, he ordered the guard,””Men! Bring the fifth young lady here!”
“Yes!” The guards outside the hall responded and quickly left.
After waiting for a while, fifth miss was brought in by the guard.
After entering the meeting hall and seeing the crowd in front of her, a hint of impatience flashed in Ning Xi ‘er’s eyes, but her beautiful face still had a smile.””Uncle! Why did you call Xi ‘er over?”
Ning Xi ‘er’s voice was extremely sweet. If Leng ruoxue did not know what kind of person she was, she might have thought that she was a pampered girl! Unfortunately, Ning Xi ‘er was a vicious Wolf in the coat of a delicate woman! She was pretending to be weak.
“There’s something I want to confirm with Xi ‘er,” The other elders sipped their tea gently and p.r.i.c.ked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Ning Yuan and Ning Xi ‘er.
“Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it. Xi ‘er will definitely tell you everything I know.” Ning Xi ‘er said obediently. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw Leng ruoxue sitting in an inconspicuous position, and the anger in her heart rose.
Why was this d.a.m.ned woman here? Ning Xi ‘er’s heart was filled with anger. She did not want to see Leng ruoxue, but this woman was everywhere.
“Look at what this is!” Ning Yuan threw the booklet he had thrown on the table at Ning Xi ‘er. The booklet hit Ning Xi’ er and fell to the ground with a thud.
Ning Xi ‘er didn’t know what was going on, but she could feel her uncle’s displeasure. As such, she carefully picked up the booklet on the ground, and with one look, her beautiful face turned pale!
It turned out that this book actually recorded all the things she had done over the years, and all of them were bad things!
What should he do? Ning Xi ‘er’s heart was burning with anxiety. She didn’t know how to get away with it. Moreover, Leng ruoxue was here, and she didn’t want her to make a fool of herself!
After thinking about it for a while, Ning Xi ‘er forced herself to calm down. She still didn’t know who had given this book to her uncle, so she couldn’t panic.
“Uncle! I don’t understand what you mean. Did Xi ‘er do something wrong?” Ning Xi ‘er looked aggrieved, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes.
