Seeing that the situation was not good, the Cui brothers and sisters hurriedly protected the person.

"Brother-in-law, my seventh brother has always been outspoken. This morning when he went out, I saw him drink two more bottles of wine. He must be drunk. Please don't bother with him!"

No matter how much the eldest brother of the Cui family hates his younger brother, they are still brothers from the same mother. What is the temper of the Duke of Zhenguo?

He is a ruthless character who kills without blinking an eye!

It's not good to just watch my own brother accompany my own sister to the funeral!

The other brothers and sisters also put on a smile and scolded Cui Qi for being unreliable and mischievous, but then they changed the subject and hoped that the Duke of Zhenguo would take it easy and not take it to heart.

Cui Qi was used to being a bad boy in the past and never listened to his brothers and sisters, but at this moment he lowered his head and looked like a well-behaved little brother.

The look in the Duke of Zhenguo's eyes became colder and colder. It turned out that there had never been a single reasonable person in the Cui family from the beginning to the end!

Ning Nanshun made a big mistake back then. If the people around him hadn't helped to conceal and make excuses, he wouldn't still think he was innocent until now!

My own son was ruined by people like them!

"From today on, there will be no marriage with the Cui family in the Zhenguo Mansion!" The Zhenguo Duke said loudly.

Such words of breaking off a relationship, in such an occasion, made everyone sigh.

The Cui family was sad, but they were relieved that Cui Qi was finally saved.

After all, except Cui Qi, other people in the Cui family rarely interact with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Now that the eldest sister is gone, there are actually even fewer reasons to interact with them. It's good this way!

The eldest brother of the Cui family wanted to say a few polite words, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the Duke of Zhenguo raised his hand to stop him:

"You can all go!"

"Come here, arrest Cui Qi! Take him to the Jingzhao government office and tell them to interrogate him. I want to know who is behind the dirty work of Ning Zhi!"

The soldiers took the ropes in their hands and pounced on Cui Qi like a hungry wolf, and tied him up tightly in just three or five moves.

Cui Qi wanted to scream, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a ball of cotton cloth was stuffed into his mouth. A force of air pressed back into his chest, choking him and making him roll his eyes!

The rest of the Cui family panicked: "Brother-in-law, what...what are you doing? We didn't say anything about breaking off the relationship, so why are you arresting someone?"

"Yes, besides, this was Nan Shun's fault, so we can't just blame it all on my little brother!"

"Please forgive me, Zhenguogong. I am a jerk, but I am sincere to my elder sister. Please forgive him for his sincerity!"

"We will definitely keep him under strict control in the future and won't let him cause trouble at our house!"

In just a few words, Cui Qi was dragged out of the yard.

The eldest brother of the Cui family was anxious. The ancestors of the Cui family had earned a good reputation. Now Cui Qi was sent to the Jingzhao government office, and there was pressure from the Duke of Zhenguo.

By then, who knows what crime Cui Qi will be charged with?

How can the Cui family survive with such a crime on their shoulders?

"Brother-in-law, do you really have to hold a funeral for the eldest sister and her beloved brother?" The eldest brother of the Cui family stamped his feet, his face full of grief:

"When my eldest sister was alive, she loved me the most. If she knew that I would be sent to prison by my brother-in-law the moment she closed her eyes, she would never be able to rest in peace!"

In the mourning hall, some people nodded. What the eldest brother of the Cui family said was true. Then someone advised:

"How about just forget it? We are all family, why make such a fuss? Let Cui Qi come over and kowtow, admit his fault, and that'll be it!"

"Humph!" The Duke of Zhenguo said with a sneer on his face: "If anyone persuades me again, I will move the mourning hall to that person's house!"

The whole place was silent and the air was stagnant!

The Duke of Zhenguo said such rude words with a clear conscience!

Glancing at the person who wanted to be a peacemaker, the Duke of Zhenguo's sneer became even more chilling.

They all want to be saints, so he will give them a chance and let them be saints to their heart's content!

The Cui family saw that things had come to this point and knew that they were powerless to change the situation. They could only leave the Zhenguo Mansion muttering to themselves,

As this incident became public, families that had little relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion said goodbye and left, leaving half of the mourning hall empty.

"Father, what happened?" Ning Beian stumbled over and saw Madam Ning who was supported by everyone. His swollen eyes widened into a circle!

The Duke of Zhenguo frowned. He had never liked his eldest son, who was so young but so decadent.

Seeing how worried Ning Beian was about his daughter-in-law, and thinking that although his eldest son's family was not promising, they were united and friendly enough, the Duke of Zhenguo's expression finally relaxed a little.

"Your brother is talking nonsense, and your wife is also a fool, but now that it has happened, help your wife down and have a rest. There is no need for her to come again today."

Although the Duke of Zhenguo's words were nonsensical, Ning Beian did not dare to ask more questions. He carefully helped Madam Ning out of the mourning hall. Only when he passed by Ning Nanshun, his eyes were gloomy and his lips were tightly pursed.

Under the watchful eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo, Ning Nanshun and his wife picked up the scattered paper money, knelt in front of the coffin with a wronged look on their faces, burned incense and paper, and received the unsuspecting guests who came later.

Ning Weizhou picked up An Ran, held Gu Feiwan's hand, and without saying hello to anyone, the family went to the warm room.

"Don't blame me for being nosy!" Gu Feiwan was a little nervous and kept leaning his head to check Ning Weizhou's expression.

Ning Weizhou didn't say anything, just walked forward. Gu Feiwan couldn't tell whether he was angry or not, and became more and more anxious.

"If you're angry, I'll ask them to stop what's going on. I promise I won't cause you any trouble."

Gu Feiwan was a little annoyed. She just hated the Ning family for plotting against Ning Weizhou again and again.

When Gu Feiwan heard that Ning Weizhou's request to go to the Ning Family Ancestral Hall to worship his mother every year was repeatedly accompanied by many harsh conditions, she felt very sorry for Ning Weizhou.

The Zhenguogong Mansion is really abominable. On the one hand, they pretend to be wronged and beg Ning Weizhou to recognize his ancestral roots in front of the world, but on the other hand, they use the tablet of Ning Weizhou's mother to control him.

Gu Feiwan thought about how good Ning Weizhou had been to her, and on impulse, she came up with this plan.

How could Ning Nanshun hire a smart guy like Cui Qi?

Cui Qi is very comfortable in this world, so how could he easily believe the words of a dissolute nephew without some tangible and huge benefits?

It was Gu Feiwan who had someone find him, promised him a large sum of money, and tempted him with the Cui family's heirloom that was lost outside, which made Cui Qi willingly cause this scene.

The nanny who hit her head and died once had an only daughter. She protected her like the apple of her eye since she was a child. The daughter lived up to everyone's expectations and grew up to be a beautiful girl.

Unfortunately, before she reached the age of 15, she was harmed by Ning Nanshun. The girl was so depressed that she jumped into the well without even seeing her mother for the last time!

How could Mammy bear this?

The nanny knelt in front of Madam Ning and begged for justice, but in the end this justice was only worth ten taels of silver!

Madam Ning used both soft and hard tactics. On one hand, she gave him ten taels of silver, and on the other hand, she threatened that if he made trouble again, she would have someone tell him outside.

It was the nanny's daughter who seduced the young master of the family, but it was discovered that she was no longer a virgin. In her shame and anger, she did not look carefully and accidentally fell into the well and drowned!
