Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Little Aunt Ning choked. Seeing that her nephew, who was very different from before, had a look of non-negotiability on his face, she looked at Ning Fengnian for help. “Big Brother, are you so heartless?”

Ning Ansheng asked her back, “Your mother almost killed my sister and even killed your brother herself. Don’t you think that she’s heartless enough? Yet, you want to blame us for killing her? What kind of logic is that?”

Little Aunt Ning gritted her teeth. “I’m talking to your father. Why are you interrupting!”

“Look, everyone, take a good look. With him like this, why is he still studying the sages’ books?! I think even if he gets into the High Scholar Examination in the future and becomes an official, he will definitely be a corrupt official!”

It began. The Lei Family looked like they were watching a good show, but Ning Fengnian’s heart turned cold. He had no intention of agreeing to Little Aunt Ning’s request to begin with. Now, he hated her even more.

“Shut up!”

Little Aunt Ning had never been shouted at by Ning Fengnian in her life. In her impression, Big Brother was a sucker and a softie. Anyone in the family could step on him. She had never seen him so tough. She immediately felt extremely aggrieved. “Big Brother, how can you treat me like this?”

Ning Fengnian took a deep breath. “Why can’t I?”

“You know very well how you’ve treated our family all these years. Even if I don’t care about your bad words, we barely have any grudges and are like strangers.”

“Reasonably speaking, I’m your big brother. The eldest brother is like a father. You’re not doing well. What’s wrong with me scolding you?”

How did her silly big brother become so eloquent?

How could she have known that Xiaoxiao had prepared a lot of books for Ning Ansheng before she left? From beautiful essays to unusual literature, there was everything she needed. Ning Fengnian flipped through them carefully and realized that there were even introductory books that taught one how to read.

Based on the principle of not wasting anything, Ning Fengnian read books when he had nothing to do. After reading them, he even repeated them to Madam Song’s tummy. Now, he was no longer the ignorant and filial farmer from before. He naturally knew more words and logic.

As she was at a loss for words, Little Aunt Ning’s sharp eyes saw a few familiar figures not far away. She snorted and placed her hands on her hips. “My father is still around. You don’t have the right to control me. Moreover, we’re not born from the same mother. What’s the point of a brother being like a father!”

Following her gaze, everyone saw Old Sir Ning and Third Brother Ning, who were still wearing their prison uniforms.

The two of them were also much more haggard than before. Their clothes were tattered, and their expressions were dazed. It was only when they saw Ning Fengnian and Ning Ansheng that hope suddenly rose in their hearts.

The day Old Madam Ning was executed was also the day the two of them were sent away. Just now, they heard a message that there was no need to suffer at the mine as a good opportunity had emerged. The two of them followed eagerly. When they saw Ning Fengnian, the two of them rushed over quickly and said,

“Big Brother! Save me! I don’t want to go to the mine. I don’t want to go!”

“Fengnian, Fengnian, look at me. I’m already so old. Won’t I die if I go there?”

“Big Brother, Big Brother, you dote on me the most. I can be considered to have been raised by you. You can’t watch me and Father die!”

“Fengnian, I’m your father, your biological father!”

Ning Ansheng turned to look at the bailiff who had brought them over. The latter pointed at the Lei Family helplessly, indicating that they had instructed them to bring the prisoners over.

Ning Ansheng had long heard from Dean Lu that the Yan Family controlled everything. This was his first time experiencing it personally. Magistrate Shen was able to suppress the Lei Family when he was still around because of his father, Premier Shen. The current county magistrate without any backing was no different from a commoner in Lei’s eyes.

The Lei Family was just a dog of the Yan Family, but it was already like this, let alone those people with the actual surname “Yan”? He also knew that the Yan Family had sent people to buy the food from General Xiao a few days ago. Although General Xiao repeatedly clarified that she agreed not because she was coerced, but because Xiaoxiao had other ideas, Ning Ansheng still felt a ball of fire burning in her heart.

Little Aunt Ning was very proud. She couldn’t win against them alone. Now, she still had Father and Third Brother, and the two noble Lei Family members behind her.

Father and Third Brother were guilty, but didn’t they bring them here just like that?

“Big Brother, think about it carefully. If you’re still so selfish and don’t care about Mother’s life and death, Third Brother, Father, and I will announce your scandal to the world!”

Ning Fengnian’s face was cold. “How? It’s only right and proper to pay with her life.”

Even Ning Ansheng was very surprised by his father’s performance. It was a pity that his younger sister was not around. Otherwise, she would definitely be very gratified to see that Father could already take charge.

He didn’t realize that there was something wrong with his thoughts at all. He asked Little Aunt Ning, “Are you going to save your mother or Father and Third Uncle?”

He couldn’t even be bothered to call her “Grandma” anymore, but Little Aunt Ning had no time to care about that. “What do you mean?”

Ning Ansheng’s tone was calm. “We’re just ordinary farmers. We only received some rewards because of Xiaoxiao. Don’t tell me you really think we have the face to change the punishment of three people at the same time?”

Did that mean that they could only save one person?

Ning Fengnian was very surprised. He wanted to save them?

Ning Ansheng whispered in his ear, “Father trusts me. Calm down.”

Little Aunt Ning thought about it carefully. Father and Brother wouldn’t die. If Mother couldn’t get away with it today, she would be dead!

Hence, she said, “Save Mother!”

The other two voices spoke at the same time as her, “Save me!”

Shopkeeper Lei and Lei Shaoming continued to sit and watch the show. They didn’t care who benefited today. As long as the Ning Family dared to say this, they could immediately fabricate the crime of them relying on the Emperor’s kindness to commit evil. At that time, not to mention that Xiao Ran couldn’t protect them, she would probably also be implicated!

Aiyo, they were looking forward to it.

Little Aunt Ning met her brother and father’s eyes and tried to persuade them. “Father, Third Brother, you’re just going to the mine, but Mother will be beheaded. Of course, we should save Mother first!”

“Just to go to the mine?” Old Sir Ning, who had been in prison for many days, felt that his favoritism for his daughter all these years was in vain. “Do you know how difficult it has been for me these days? I don’t even dare to close my eyes every night, afraid that I won’t be able to open them again. Now, you’re telling me that it’s just to go to the mine?”

“Do you know what kind of place a mine is? It’s dark there. They mine in the underground cave all day long. They can’t eat their fill and can’t rest well. What if the heavens don’t treat them well and the mine collapses…”

He did not want to go! He was supposed to be at the age where he could live comfortably. It was already bad enough for him to become like this. If he died in another county and became a lonely ghost, wouldn’t he not be able to die peacefully?

“Your third brother is young and strong. He can hold on for a while, but how can I do that?”

Third Brother Ning was unhappy when he heard that. “Father, what are you talking about? How am I strong? It’s not like you don’t know that I’ve never done heavy work since I was young. At least you work in the fields to train your body.. I stay in the house all day to study and fight for glory for you!”
