"Young Master, you are too cruel. I will definitely report this to Madam." Old Wu glared at Ning Hongze with red eyes.
"Go and tell her, make sure it's clear. Tell her that your son wants to marry Feng'er, and see if your wife will agree to marry Feng'er to your good-for-nothing son for the sake of your years of friendship."
"Why are you like this?"
Just then, a carriage stopped at the entrance of the manor, and a woman angrily jumped off her horse and lashed out with her whip.
Ning Hongze originally wanted to dodge, but Ning Feng'er was behind him.
Ning Feng'er has no martial arts skills, so she probably can't dodge the whip's attack.
Thinking of this, Ning Hong turned around directly to face the attack of the whip.
The whip struck Ning Hongze's face hard, leaving a bloody welt, but the next moment, Ning Hongze grabbed the whip and pulled it into his hand.
"elder brother."
Ning Feng'er exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward.
"Brother, how are you?"
Ning Feng'er saw Ning Hongze's movements most clearly. She clearly saw her brother's footsteps moving. Her brother could have dodged the whip's attack, but he refused to. She naturally knew why. It must be for her. Her brother blocked the whip's attack for her sake.
"Let go." Ning Hongze grabbed one end of the whip.
The girl tried to pull the whip back, but couldn't budge it. "What kind of hero are you, a grown man, bullying a woman like me?"
She turned to look at Old Man Wu and Wu Youcai, who was wailing incessantly, and said, "They're bullying the old and weak, it's utterly shameful."
Ning Hongze does not have the habit of hitting women.
In his view, some women are more vicious than men. When dealing with ordinary women, one should naturally be a gentleman and give way to them, but there are some women who cannot be given way to.
Especially women who, right from the start, brandish a whip in front of others.
He immediately pulled hard, grabbing the woman's whip and even pulling her along with him because of the force.
The woman lost her balance and fell towards him.
Ning Hong then pulled Ning Feng'er around and avoided her, causing the girl to fall to the ground in a very disheveled state.
"Miss."
The maidservant who was with the young lady rushed over and helped her up.
"You, how dare you throw me like that?"
"Since you've already laid a hand on me, why should I give in to you any longer?"
Ning Hong then said without any politeness.
"You attacked an old man, and I saw that the road was uneven, so naturally I had to help you." When the girl fell, she deftly covered her face. There were no marks on her face, but because she used her hand to protect herself, there were some marks on the back of her hand.
"You're being unreasonable! You hurt people without asking why. Aren't you worried you might have hit the wrong person?"
"I clearly saw him bullying people." The girl also stood firm. "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely stand up for you and will not let this despicable and shameless person lay a hand on you again."
“Young lady, you are such a kind person, but we…” Old Wu looked up at Ning Hongze, then at Wu Youcai, tears streaming down his face. “The story between us is too complicated to tell.”
"Don't be afraid, I will definitely stand up for you."
The girl raised her chin high, "My father is the owner of Yunshan Manor."
Like Jiuxiao Manor, Yunshan Manor is renowned in the martial arts world.
Ning Hong searched her memory for information about Yunshan Manor. She hadn't heard that the manor owner had a daughter.
It is common knowledge in the martial arts world that the owner of Yunshan Manor has only two sons.
One is a good writer, the other is a martial arts enthusiast.
One is a scholar, the other a warrior; their talents are the envy of many in the martial arts world.
"Speak up, what exactly caused you to beat this poor old man, and give me back my whip."
"If you want the whip back, let me whip you once, and I'll give it back to you." Ning Hong then vigorously swung the whip in her hand.
The whip's tail instantly left a mark on the ground.
The deep marks made the girl's heart skip a beat.
If that whip had landed on her face, she would have been disfigured.
The woman immediately took two steps back in fear, but since she had already spoken, she couldn't very well ignore the old man. So she could only grit her teeth and ask, "If they have offended you, I'm willing to pay money to apologize on their behalf. How much do you want?"
"Get lost, I don't need your filthy money, you hurt my brother."
Ning Feng'er almost screamed.
I wonder if my brother will have a scar on his face.
Her brother is so handsome! Even though her friends don't like him and think he's useless, they still can't help but secretly tell her that he's incredibly good-looking.
Unfortunately, he lacks any masculinity.
"Feng'er, don't panic. It's just a small wound." After comforting her sobbing sister, Ning Hong pinched the bridge of her nose and reached into her bosom to take out several indentures.
"Since you're so eager to meddle, then I won't stand on ceremony."
"What?"
"The old man you mentioned is a servant of our Ning family, and he's under a contract with a death sentence. Of course, I won't take advantage of you. I'll sell them all to you for fifty taels of silver each."
"What? Fifty taels of silver? You're robbing me!"
The girl screamed. "I could sell ten people to a slave trader for fifty taels of silver, and you, an old man, are selling me fifty taels of silver?"
“Fine, since you think they’re not worth fifty taels of silver, then ten taels it is. You’ve hurt me.” Ning Hong pointed to the wound on his face. “What about me? I’m so weak, so my marriage is a problem. I was hoping to use my face to win over a girl to be my wife, but I never expected that you would ruin my face.”
"What does this have to do with me?"
"Did you inflict this wound?"
"It's me."
"Or did you hit me without asking any questions?"
This is the kind of woman he hates the most.
This kind of woman should be given a good beating so she'll learn her lesson; otherwise, she'll suffer in the future. However, this person is neither his relative nor someone he should protect. What does it matter to him what happens to her in the future?
