Watching a group of people, carrying their belongings, leave behind the girl.
Ning Hong's lips curled into a cold smile.
These people are all bad news. Let as many as they can leave. His estate doesn't need too many people, especially those who are loyal to the enemy while serving Cao Cao.
"Brother, there are only about ten people left in the manor now." Among these ten people, there are four or five elderly, weak, women and children, who are basically unable to work.
"It's alright. Just look at the expressions on the faces of the remaining people, and you'll know whether my decision was right or wrong."
Surprisingly, those people who were initially frowning suddenly showed a glimmer of hope after Old Wu and the others left.
It was as if I had regained the motivation to live.
"Brother?" Ning Feng'er asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It's very simple. Look at the clothes of those people just now. Although they weren't all new clothes, there weren't many patches on them, and they looked quite presentable."
So, although they were driven away, they had money, so they weren't in despair.
Some people, like the Wu family, would have been better off if their son hadn't been beaten into a cripple, since they had made a lot of money over the years.
"As for those who stayed behind, look at their ragged clothes. They must have been bullied a lot in the village. Now that those who bullied them are gone, they won't have to be bullied anymore."
"Brother, those people went so far, are you just going to let them get away with it?"
"There's no way around it, this is their territory. If so many people were to swarm us, it would be a very troublesome situation."
Only by driving away these restless people can they live in peace.
"Furthermore, there is the most important point: these are all Madam's people. It's one thing to drive them away; they probably won't cause any trouble. But if we really deal with them, it won't be long before they start causing trouble at Jiuxiao Manor."
Of course, the safest approach is to eliminate them all.
But their crimes didn't warrant death. He also disliked indiscriminate killing.
Ning Hong's plan was quite good, but she forgot that this was a martial arts world...
Ning Hong then packed up all the things, because since there were no servants, she had to do everything herself.
Those cheapskate parents are really too stingy. They didn't even give them a servant. Who knows, they might even want him to die in this manor.
Thinking about it, it's actually quite possible.
If he hadn't suddenly caused a scene, gotten his hands on these people's indentures, and driven them away...
If he had come to this village alone, with little money on him, and was physically weak, the more he thought about it, the more terrified he became.
Given the Wu family's temperament, I'm afraid that two days after they moved in, news will spread that he had fallen ill and died.
Ning Hong smiled helplessly.
Having traversed two worlds, and now this third, it seems they were all abandoned by their parents.
However, they all have a lovely younger sister.
"Hey, System, are you a system that protects your little sister?"
"No, I am the guardian cannon fodder system."
"It's the same, all my sisters are cannon fodder."
So, in every world there will be a cute and adorable little sister. Thinking about it this way made him feel much better.
The next day, Ning Hong got up early. Since he couldn't afford the martial arts manuals in the system, he could pick up the ones his cheap father had taught him.
This system is such a rip-off; the body it gave me is absolutely terrible.
If he were Ning Chengze, with a good body, he would be able to enjoy the benefits of flying over rooftops and possessing martial arts skills right now.
Unfortunately, no.
He is Ning Hongze, a good-for-nothing. The entire martial arts world knows he is a good-for-nothing, and almost everyone believes that Ning Chengze will inherit the Nine Heavens Manor in the future.
The martial arts of Jiuxiao Manor are profound and extensive; otherwise, it would not have become one of the six great manors in the martial arts world.
That's why his adoptive father disliked him so much. It was a huge blow to a manor lord with high martial arts skills to have a useless son.
Of course, he wouldn't take the blame himself; he only felt it was his mother's problem.
This is why his mother particularly disliked him. Because of him, his mother's standing in his father's eyes changed.
Ning Hong recalled the martial arts moves his father had taught him, his movements flowing smoothly like clouds and water.
But as he was practicing, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
He convulsed and collapsed to the ground.
What happened? Why is this happening?
"Brother?" Ning Feng'er rushed over in a panic when she saw her brother vomiting blood.
"Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Ning Hong stood up and patted his clothes. He suddenly had an idea.
I just don't know if this idea is correct.
"Feng'er, have someone secretly fetch a doctor."
“If my brother is feeling unwell, Yuan’er, who is by my side, knows about medicine.”
"No, keep it from Yuan'er. Have someone go find a doctor outside. When the doctor arrives, have him take your pulse too."
"elder brother……"
Has something happened? Why would my brother say that?
Ning Feng'er's beautiful face showed even more panic.
She believed that her brother wouldn't speak carelessly; he must have his reasons for doing so.
She only had Yuan'er and Xing'er with her, and no one else. If Yuan'er was not trustworthy, she naturally had to be wary of Xing'er as well.
She thought for a moment, then took out five taels of silver and called over a woman from the estate. The woman was not old, but the hardships of life made her look older.
However, she was dressed very cleanly, with no mud between her fingers, which made her slightly different from other peasant women. Yet, her brows were furrowed, and her face looked sorrowful.
"Miss," the woman called out.
"Can you read?"
“The young woman recognizes some.”
"I want to buy some candied fruit and desserts, but I don't know where to buy them. Can you help me buy them?"
“Little woman…”
She really wanted to refuse, because her elderly relative was sick and lying in bed, needing someone to take care of them.
"I have five taels of silver here. If you can buy what's on the paper, the rest of the silver is yours."
"What?" Feeling a piece of paper being stuffed into her hand, the woman opened it in confusion. There were only two words written on the paper: Doctor.
The woman was overjoyed and immediately turned around, kneeling before Ning Feng'er.
"Auntie, what are you doing?"
"Please forgive me, Miss, but please save my mother-in-law's life."
This woman was quite clever. The young lady had two maids, but she bypassed them and sought out the woman herself, suggesting she didn't trust those around her. Therefore, this matter couldn't be discussed directly.
