Chapter 377: Never forgive!

Wen Juexia was so angry that he wanted to go to Cao's house immediately, chop off the heads of those things in the Cao family, dig them open to see if they were covered with grass.

Tamamo and Tamazuki felt extremely desperate and angry just by listening.

They couldn't imagine how Wen Ge managed to survive.

No wonder Wen Ge would rather pretend to have amnesia than mention the Cao family.

A family like that is simply hateful and disgusting.

Xie Yingmian asked Wen Ge: "Who did you meet yesterday? What happened?"

Wen Ge bit her lip and picked up the pen.

Xie Yingmian frowned as he looked at what Wen Ge had written.

Yesterday at noon, Wen Ge and Yumo separated and went into a store.

She ran into her adopted daughter and her mother in the store.

The adopted daughter used the same trick again and framed Wen Ge.

The mother slapped Wen Ge angrily and asked her very disappointedly why a bad person like her was still alive. She should die and die quickly.

Wen Ge didn't expect that after so many years, her mother still had the same attitude.

In fact, her mother hated her more than before.

Her mother said many harsh words, and those words were like knives, cutting her flesh again and again.

She recalled her experiences over the years and felt so desperate that she didn't want to live anymore.

Xie Yingmian already understood the whole story.

This is not a difficult matter.

What’s difficult is Wen Ge’s attitude.

"Wen Ge, let me ask you, will you forgive the Cao family?"

Wen Ge clenched her hands and shook her head.

Xie Yingmian asked again: "If the Cao family knelt on the ground and begged you, used their kindness to kidnap you, and told you that they were wrong, would you forgive them?"

Wen Ge still shook his head.

Xie Yingmian: "Are you sure you won't forgive the Cao family no matter what the price?"

Wen Ge bit her lip.

Before yesterday, she might have been soft-hearted.

After yesterday, her last remaining desire for family affection disappeared.

She wrote four big words on the paper: Never forgive!

Xie Yingmian narrowed his eyes.

As long as Wen Ge refuses to forgive me, that’s fine.

If Wen Ge doesn't forgive me, everything will be fine.

Xie Yingmian asked Wen Ge: "Do you want revenge?"

"Do you want the Cao family and their adopted daughter to pay the price?"

"Do you want the Cao family to regret it?"

Wen Ge was stunned.

Wen Juexia patted Wen Ge's shoulder heavily: "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and agree to Sister Mianmian."

"I'm telling you, don't be a coward."

"If you're a coward, then I don't want to see you again. I hate cowards."

Zhu Yue frowned: "Xia Xia, don't talk nonsense, let Wen Ge think about it carefully."

"We are not Wen Ge, so we can't easily make decisions for Wen Ge."

Wen Juexia touched his nose: "It's because I'm too angry."

If Wen Ge herself is unwilling to seek revenge.

If they go to help, the Cao family will be in trouble, and Wen Ge might even blame them.

Anyway, she hates people who can't figure things out.

Wen Ge nodded heavily: "I do."

Xie Yingmian smiled and said, "That's easy."

"We will help you avenge your hatred."

"So, first tell me, who was the noble person that the Cao family saved?"

Wen Ge wrote a name on the paper.

Xie Yingmian was relatively unfamiliar with this name.

Instead, Wen Juexia asked in surprise: "Duke?"

"Sister Mianmian, don't you know him? He is the Duke of Ningguo."

Xie Yingmian had heard of the title of Duke Ningguo.

On the birthday of the old lady of the Xie family, the Xie family took great pains to invite the wife of Duke Ningguo.

She intervened and made Lady Ningguo angry and she ran away.

Later, the Xie family went to invite them again, but were driven out by the wife of Duke Ningguo.

Xie Yingmian had some understanding of the distribution of the aristocratic circles in Shangjing.

The late emperor was still quite merciful at that time. In addition, the late emperor was appointed crown prince since he was young, so the position of crown prince was stable, and many royal brothers survived.

After the current emperor ascended the throne, these old princes either died or those who survived were relegated to the margins, spending their days eating, drinking, having fun and enjoying their retirement. They hardly took care of anything and did not hold any real power.

The current emperor had a very difficult journey to becoming the crown prince. In order to ascend to the throne, he almost murdered all of his brothers.

Currently, there are only two brothers left: Zhe Wang and Yu Lingye.

King Zhe was the emperor's man and always obeyed the emperor's orders.

In addition, King Zhe had suffered a brain injury when he was young, and had some intellectual problems. He had brute force but could never become emperor, so the emperor was more confident in him.

As for Yu Lingye.

Yu Lingye is protected by the late emperor.

Even though the late emperor has been dead for many years, the power he left behind cannot be underestimated.

This is also the reason why the emperor disliked Yu Lingye but couldn't get rid of him.

In general,

People in the royal family do not hold real power.

Instead, it is Duke Ningguo who holds the power.

Duke Ningguo holds a very high status in Shangjing City, and the Ning family is the most prominent family in Shangjing City. Duke Ningguo has countless disciples.

In the capital, besides the emperor, Duke Ningguo is the most powerful.

No wonder the Cao family became so successful after marrying into the Duke of Ningguo family.

Even if you are a pig, if you can climb up to the Ningguo Mansion, you can fly to the sky.

Xie Yingmian said, "Wen Ge, leave this matter to me."

"But let me be clear in advance. I can only pave the way for you. You need to seek revenge yourself."

Wen Juexia raised her hand: "I can help."

Tamamo and Tsumugi followed suit, "So can I."

Wen Ge's eyes were filled with tears and she nodded continuously.

Xie Yingmian went to find Yu Lingye.

After listening to Wen Ge's experience, Yu Lingye was silent for a long time and was speechless.

He said, "The Cao family did gain a foothold in Shangjing through the protection of Duke Ningguo."

"However, there are many noble families in Shangjing, and the Cao family is just a low-ranking family in Shangjing."

"If you want to punish the Cao family, you don't have to do it yourself. Just find some fault with them."

Xie Yingmian said, "I would rather treat them in their own way."

"The Cao family saved Duke Ning's life, and Duke Ning supported the Cao family. This shows that Duke Ning is a man who knows how to repay a favor. Wen Ge is Duke Ning's true benefactor. I think Duke Ning should be made aware of the Cao family's actions."

Duke Ningguo despised the Cao family's lethality, which was greater than that of any of them.

The Cao family rose to prominence because of saving Duke Ningguo, but they could also fall from grace because of Duke Ningguo.

This is the only way to feel revenge.

Yu Lingye nodded and asked Zang Song to deliver the visiting card to the Ningguo Mansion.

"Duke Ningguo is the first of the Three Dukes and holds an exceptional position."

"Unlike other children of aristocratic families, Duke Ningguo never sought pleasure. He was concerned about the country and the people, and he cared deeply about the world. It's no exaggeration to say that he devoted himself to his work until his death."

"Back then, the support of Duke Ningguo was crucial for the emperor to secure his position as crown prince."

"In order to win the favor of Duke Ningguo, the emperor did a lot of practical things for the people. All of these things touched the heart of Duke Ningguo."

"It is precisely because of this that when the late emperor wanted to change the crown prince, it was Duke Ning who, together with the ministers in the court, threatened to commit suicide in order to preserve the crown prince's position."

"After successfully inheriting the throne, the emperor slowly put away his disguise."

"Duke Ningguo has advised the emperor several times. The emperor is somewhat wary of him, but he has listened to many of his suggestions."

"However, it is precisely because Duke Ningguo is too upright and noble that he is disliked by the Emperor and has been gradually marginalized over the years."

Xie Yingmian nodded slightly.

The Duke of Ningguo that Yu Lingye mentioned was pretty much the same as what she knew.

Yu Lingye said: "Oh, there is one more thing."
