After Wen Zhongtian recovered from his injuries, he took Jiang Hanyi and left the Ning family.

Before leaving, he knelt down in front of Ning Yunxiao and kowtowed three times.

"Master Ning, wait until I personally kill my enemy..." He hesitated, actually doubting whether he could bring himself to do it.

Although Wen Xiaodie wasn't particularly good to him, she still raised him.

He wouldn't feel good about actually killing her.

But if I don't kill her, how can I face his parents?

The deep-seated hatred made him suddenly feel somewhat powerless.

"After I've taken my revenge, I'll come back here and call you Uncle. I hope you won't refuse me then," Wen Zhongtian said, his eyes red.

"Alright, I'll wait for you. We'll recognize each other again after you've taken your revenge." Ning Yunxiao patted Wen Zhongtian on the shoulder.

What was disliked at the time has now become a bond.

Ning Yunxiao sighed and watched him leave.

Ning Hong, on the other hand, remained expressionless.

Wen Zhongtian is gone; it's time for him to take action.

He didn't need to take action himself to deal with Ning Chengze; he only needed to show Madam Ning the things that Bai Xiaosheng had given him, and she would know.

Although Bai Xiaosheng is very demanding, he is worth the money.

"Are these all true?"

Madam Ning flipped through the documents in her hand, her face turning pale and then flushed, as if she was angry but forced herself to suppress it.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Although Madam Ning was furious, there was a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

It seems that they suspect him of framing Ning Chengze.

"Your health has gradually recovered."

Madam Ning uttered these words.

"So? You don't believe me because my health has recovered, and you think I want to compete with Ning Chengze for the position of heir, that's why you don't believe me?"

“Yes.” Madam Ning glanced at Ning Hongze and nodded.

"Tch." Ning Hong's face showed a mocking smile. He really felt wronged for the original owner. The original owner still cared about these people until his death, but his mother didn't even have the most basic trust.

"If you don't believe me, that's fine. Anyway, I'm just passing on what Bai Xiaosheng gave me to you. I'll also show these things to Father. If Father doesn't believe me either, I have nothing more to say." Ning Hong sighed softly. "Let me emphasize one last time: I don't want to inherit this manor." He has his own career to attend to. If he wanted to, he could easily create another manor.

Madam Ning remained silent, staring intently at Ning Hongze. Seeing Ning Hongze's composure and the complete absence of anxiety, Madam Ning's previous suspicions began to waver.

Could all of these be true?

What if they're all true?

Madam Ning's eyes dimmed, and her face became even more unpleasant.

Seeing Madam Ning's reaction, Ning Hong directly handed the information to her father.

Ning Yunxiao was decisive and efficient, immediately ordering people to monitor Ning Chengze.

What he wants to know most right now is whether Ning Chengze knows about this.

If he didn't know, it would be understandable; but if he did know, a murderous emotion surged in Ning Yunxiao's eyes.

Once ignited, it could explode.

Ning Chengze has been somewhat irritable lately.

He felt that his parents' attitude towards him had changed slightly, becoming much colder.

"Granny Qiao, tell me, why are Father and Mother so cold to me? Could it be because Ning Hongze has recovered her health? Do they want Ning Hongze to become the heir and inherit the Nine Heavens Manor?" Seeing Ning Hongze's health getting better and better, and his business expanding more and more, Ning Chengze was really panicking.

When he first asked for the distillery, his mother refused.

Normally, no matter what he wants...

His mother would give it to him.

"This isn't his biological child, he's definitely not his biological child." Granny Qiao whispered in Ning Chengze's ear.

"Granny, what did you say?"

“Child, hesitation will only lead to more trouble. Since they no longer love you, in order to maintain your position as heir, the only option is to strike first.”

"What's the meaning?"

"Eliminate Ning Hongze first, or kill Master Ning and Madam Ning first."

"Are you crazy? Those are my parents?"

Ning Chengze took a step back.

Looking at Granny Qiao in disbelief, she said, "Granny Qiao, how could you be so heartless? My mother was so good to you, how could you come up with such a plan?"

Granny Qiao was his mother's confidante. He always thought that Granny Qiao was loyal to his mother and that she loved him so much because of her love for his mother. But she actually said such a thing.

"Child, I've done all this for you." Granny Qiao suddenly reached out and grasped Ning Chengze's hands, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"you?"

“I’m already so old, why should I suffer? As long as I stay with you, you will take care of my old age. But I can’t let you go.”

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

Ning Chengze had a terrible suspicion creeping into his mind. No, it couldn't be like that.

"Me, you, it's impossible?"

“Nothing is impossible. You are my child, Chengze, you are my own son,” Granny Qiao said excitedly.

She has waited all these years for this day.

Once Chengze becomes the heir and the undisputed head of Jiuxiao Manor, she will then recognize him as her new lover.

She would naturally become the old lady of Jiuxiao Manor.

It was no wonder that she had been slowly poisoning Ning Hongze's food every day, eroding his body.

He also frequently whispered Ning Hongze's shortcomings to Madam Ning day and night, making the master and his wife increasingly disgusted with him, so that her son could become the rightful heir.

"Nonsense. Impossible. How could I be your son? My father is the master of Nine Heavens Manor, my mother is the master's wife, and I am the young master. I can't possibly be your child."

“Chengze, even if you are my child, you can still be the master of this manor.” Seeing that Ning Chengze refused to acknowledge her, a bitter look appeared in Granny Qiao’s eyes, but she became even more determined. They had to acknowledge each other. If they delayed any longer, Chengze would definitely not accept the truth in the future. “As long as you listen to me, you can still become the master of Jiuxiao Manor.”

“I am the young master of the manor, and it is only natural that I will inherit the position of manor master in the future. I don’t need to listen to you at all.”

"No, you must listen. You yourself said that recently, the master and his wife have relied more on the eldest young master. The eldest young master's health has recovered, and he has already threatened your position."

A hint of resentment flashed in Granny Qiao's eyes.

The young master was already on the verge of death, so how did he manage to turn things around?

If I had known, I should have just pinned him down.

Now, it's become a threat to her commitment.
