When the sky was getting darker, Ning Ting returned to Ning Mansion as Ning Yu said.

When Ning Ting was walking towards the living room, the housekeeper had already told him about Zhu Qingxia's arrival at the mansion. Ning Ting frowned. They had never seen each other since he divorced Zhu's family.

Ning Zhenru said before that this matter has been resolved, and Ning Ting didn't care much after hearing it. Why did Zhu Qingxia come to the door today?

When they entered the hall, Ning Yu and Zhu Qingxia were chatting happily, both of them had smiles on their faces, and when they saw Ning Ting came in, they stood up at the same time.

Ning Ting first greeted Ms. Zhu, and then walked towards Ning Yu. He saw Ning Yu's cheeks were rosy because he was in a better mood, and he pinched Ning Yu's face affectionately, and gently asked him about his day today. How are you doing.

Ning Yu also raised his head, happily talking about the interesting things that Zhu Qingxia was telling him about Feiyang City in recent months.

In the hall, Ning Ting stared at Ning Yu with such concentration that Zhu Qingxia who was beside him was surprised.

Zhu Qingxia was very happy to greet Ning Ting when she came in, but just as she was about to respond politely with a smile, Ning Ting greeted Ning Yu directly, and Zhu Qingxia's smile could only stiffen on her face.

As he was talking, Ning Yu remembered that he had invited Miss Zhu to stay for dinner just now, and when he turned his head to see Miss Zhu was still standing there, Ning Yu hurriedly called her a few times, Zhu Qingxia came back to his senses.

The servants prepared meals early every day at meal time, and the table was ready as soon as Ning Ting came back.

At the dinner table, Ning Ting kept picking up food for Ning Yu, and Ning Yu would also pick up some food for Ning Ting from time to time. Seeing that Zhu Qingxia was staring at the food in his bowl, he also picked up a few chopsticks for Zhu Qingxia, which made Zhu Qingxia a little surprised look.

During the dinner, Ning Ting and Zhu Qingxia also chatted a few words, Ning Ting's performance was normal, but Zhu Qingxia hesitated to speak.

Ning Yu was not without winks either, since dinner was almost done, he used the excuse of going to digest food and asked Ning Ting to talk to Miss Zhu for a while.

Ning Ting wanted to accompany him, but Ning Yu shook his head and refused, and looked at Zhu Qingxia,

"Girl Zhu, if you have anything to say, just talk to your brother directly."

Then quickly left the house.

Ning Ting ordered someone to clean up the dining table, served two cups of tea again, and the two returned to the living room.

The night covered the earth, stars were already hanging outside the window, Zhu Qingxia came to Ning Mansion in the afternoon when it was approaching dusk, it was already Xu time.

A few voices came from the living room of Ning Mansion, but Ning Ting and Zhu Qingxia didn't chat alone for long, Zhu Qingxia left Ning Mansion, and the maid and carriage she brought had been waiting outside Ning Mansion for a long time.

She was a little staggering when she left, and her face was slightly pale. If you look carefully, there are even faint traces of tears on her face.

In the Ning Mansion, Ning Yu, who was still walking on the rockery in the garden, was thinking about what Ms. Zhu who visited today would talk to her brother. He looked up at the moon covered by dark clouds in the sky. Ning Yu had a premonition that a winter The rain is coming.

After Ms. Zhu left, Ning Ting found Ning Yu in the garden. Ning Yu blew the cold wind for a while, and his whole body was cold. Ning Ting quickly took Ning Yu back to the room and ordered people to prepare charcoal fire and hot water.

They chatted for a while, and Ning Yu asked after a few minutes of confusion;

"Brother, that Miss Zhu..."

"Ayu, I have nothing to do with Miss Zhu. I have already made it clear to her."

"But brother, Ms. Zhu told me that their family has always been the raw material supplier for the Ning family's silk. The last time you went to Zhu's mansion to withdraw from marriage, will it affect you..."

"Don't worry, Ah Yu, you don't have to worry, Master Zhu is a sensible person. Dad also went to explain to them before he was alive, and everything will be fine."

"But I still feel a little uneasy."

"Okay, Ah Yu, you finally came back, don't worry about these things."

Just when hot water was brought up, Ning Ting wrung out the handkerchief to help Ning Yu wipe his hands.

They talked a few more things about what they were doing today. Ning Ting heard that Ning Yu said that he had written to the brothers of the Zheng family. He also said that it was so cold that he didn't know how brother Zheng went out to hunt. Where did Zheng Xiuyuan go now? Oh, has the third child of the Zheng family sold out all the fruits?

"Brother, next month will be the Chinese New Year, when the time comes, take me back to see if they are okay."

The movement of Ning Ting's hands paused, but then returned to the original state, and he mentioned to Ning Yu;

"Ayu, I went out to talk about things today. I heard that the Pingyue Kingdom in the north has plundered several cities on our border. Many refugees who were forced into exile began to go south. Now the imperial court has started a large number of conscriptions, and various cities have also begun martial law. You can't leave the city at will. .It's not peaceful outside at all now."

"I will send someone to send them New Year's gifts, but Ah Yu, it's better for us not to travel far recently."

Ning Yu was very shocked when he heard that, remembering that he also heard the third child talk about war some time ago, he always thought that war was far away from him, but he didn't expect the war to start so silently.

"Ah."

After listening to Ning Ting's words, Ning Yu knew that his brother had considered everything carefully, and he didn't want to cause trouble for his brother, so he didn't force him anymore.

Zhu Qingxia here, after returning home, met her mother face to face, she couldn't bear it anymore, threw herself into her mother's arms and wept aggrievedly, Mrs. Zhu asked what happened to Zhu Qingxia distressedly, but Zhu Qingxia kept crying, He didn't say anything until Mrs. Zhu called the maid who accompanied Zhu Qingxia today.

She went to Ning Mansion and met the two sons of Ning Mansion.

Now Mrs. Zhu doesn't need to guess, she must have something to do with Ning Ting.She was suddenly out of breath, it was that Ning Ting again, last time it was because of their Ning Mansion, Xia'er was bored at home for several months, now she came back from Ning Mansion and cried like this again, don't think it was because of that Ning Ting.

I don't know what ecstasy soup Ning Ting gave Xia'er to make Zhu Qingxia so unable to let him go.

Mrs. Zhu comforted Zhu Qingxia, while thinking about how to tell Master Zhu later.

Zhu Hong heard that Zhu Qingxia was crying because she went to the Ning Mansion, and came to care for her daughter, but Zhu Qingxia didn't say anything, and said that it was her own fault, so that her father should not blame the Ning family.

Hearing his daughter's words, Zhu Hong was very angry. This Ning family is really deceiving people too much, and he must make them pay the price.

Master Zhu asked his wife to accompany his daughter, comfort her well, and went out with the housekeeper.

Miss Zhu kept paying attention to her father who said harsh words from the corner of her eye. When she saw him leaving the door angrily, a glint of light flashed in her tear-filled eyes.

The next day, Ning Ting received the news that all the weaving workshops under the Ning family's name had stopped working because there was no silk thread for weaving.

The raw materials of the Ning family have always been provided by the Zhu family. Regardless of seasons, those high-quality silk threads have never been broken, but why did they suddenly stop today?

Ning Ting first found the silk thread supply point of the Zhu family and the director of the Zhu family he was familiar with, but he didn't expect that the reply he got was that the people above had ordered that they could no longer supply thread to the cloth workshop of the Ning family.

"Director Du, it was fine yesterday, why is it so early this morning..."

"Master Ning, you've always taken good care of me, and I won't hide it from you. It was our master who came to give orders in person last night. From now on, we will never supply thread to the Ning family's cloth workshop."

"what?!"

Ning Ting frowned when he heard Supervisor Du say that Zhu Hong personally ordered it. He suddenly remembered Zhu Qingxia who came to visit Ning Mansion last night. "Thank you Director Du, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Ning Ting, who got on his horse, drove straight to Zhu's Mansion.

The door boy of Zhu Mansion saw a person galloping on a horse from a distance, and when the person got closer and closer, the door boy realized that it was Mr. Ning.

He hurried to report to the butler.

Ning Ting didn't have time to tie the horse, nor could he wait for the doorman's notification, so he broke into Zhu's mansion directly.

Zhu Hong, Mrs. Zhu, and Zhu Qingxia were preparing to have breakfast when they heard a loud noise, and several servants tried to embrace the person who broke into the main hall of Zhu's mansion.

"Young Master Ning, Young Master Ning, Master ordered you not to come in..."

"Young Master Ning, you..."

"Step aside!"

Ning Ting pushed away several domestic servants who blocked him, and stepped into the Zhu Mansion hall after a few steps. Zhu Hong and Zhu Qingxia both looked at the door.

"Master Zhu, please forgive me for being reckless, the visit at this time is really important."

Zhu Hong signaled the servants to step back, nodded to Ning Ting, and asked him to continue. He picked up a bowl and calmly scooped up a bowl of white porridge.

"Excuse me, did you order not to provide silk thread to the Ning family?"

Zhu Hongsheng filled a bowl full of porridge, he turned to look at Ning Ting who was standing at the door with a questioning tone, and said;

"Yes."

"Master Zhu, our two shops in Zhu Ning signed a ten-year contract, and now you break the contract ahead of time, you." Ning Ting tried to persuade Zhu Hong, but Zhu Hong directly interrupted him.

"There are only two years left in our contract. I can pay you as much liquidated damages as you need. However, it is impossible for Ning's cloth shop to receive silk threads from Zhu's family anymore."

"unless……"

Before Zhu Hong finished speaking, he put the bowl of porridge in front of Zhu Qingxia.

"Unless you marry my daughter Qing Xia."

Ning Ting stared slightly, and Zhu Qingxia also looked at her father in surprise.

"If you promise the Zhu Ning family to get married, the Zhu family will immediately re-supply silk thread raw materials to the Ning family."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Then your father's years of hard work will be ruined in your hands."

"Father, Mr. Ning didn't do anything wrong, it's all my fault, don't blame him!" Zhu Qingxia's clear voice sounded a little anxious.

"Xia'er, stop talking, you know dad, the decision dad made will not be changed..."

"Is the daughter of my Zhu family not worthy of Mr. Ning?"

"Ning Ting, you are my favorite junior. If Xia'er hadn't been speaking well to you in the Ning Mansion last time, I...but I won't pursue it after the matter has passed. But this time, Xia'er went to the Ning Mansion yesterday. You Ning Manor, she has deep affection for you, and you should give her an explanation."

"Now, it depends on Mr. Ning's choice."

Zhu Hong stopped Zhu Qingxia's words, and everyone in the room looked at Ning Ting instantly.

Ning Ting's frown just now was relaxed now, he looked at Zhu Hong calmly and said;

"Master Zhu, I don't want to delay Miss Zhu's life because of this incident. I think I made it very clear a few months ago."

"Since Master Zhu insists on this, Ning doesn't force it, I will find a way to maintain the shop my father gave me..."

"Thank you, Master Zhu, for being so thoughtful about Ning."

"I say goodbye first."

Ning Ting declined Master Zhu politely, said his farewell in a neither humble nor overbearing way, and left Zhu's mansion without looking back.

Afterwards, he first went to the various weaving workshops of the Ning family, instructing the weavers to use the silk thread in stock before weaving, and then contacted the major silk thread suppliers, but learned that the Zhu family almost monopolized the entire Huizhou. As for the silk thread industry, since he ordered not to supply silk thread to the Ning family, almost no one can violate his order.

Ning Ting, who had been away for a day, found nothing. News came from the weaving workshop that the silk thread in stock was only enough for half a month's output at most, and there was still a batch of silk that had not been completed. If there was no silk thread, the construction period would definitely be postponed.

The busy Ning Ting returned home, had a hasty meal and went back to the study to find a solution.

Ning Yu didn't know how he could help his brother, so he could only stay with Ning Ting in the study and clean up the desk he usually used. There were many letterheads on it.

Ning Ting looked at the stationery that Ning Yu was tidying up, and suddenly thought,

write a letter……
