“Chengze, child, listen to me. It’s not just the eldest young master, but also the eldest young lady. If the eldest young lady is willing to marry into the family, the master of the manor might just hand over the Nine Heavens Manor to her husband.”
Granny Qiao spoke again.
Her meaning was clear: if Ning Chengze wanted to become the head of the manor, he would have to kill Ning Hongze and Ning Feng'er first.
Of course, there is an even safer method, which is to kill Ning Yunxiao directly.
Ning Chengze is now the young master of the manor. As long as Ning Yunxiao dies, he can naturally inherit this position.
Of course, Granny Qiao would prefer that Madam Ning and Master Ning die together, so that she could become the real old lady.
"Me? I can't do it? What's going on? Why did I become your child?"
Ning Cheng asked with difficulty.
“I know it’s hard for you to accept this fact.” Granny Qiao rubbed Ning Chengze’s head again, memories flooding back.
That incident happened almost twenty years ago.
Although she didn't like Madam Ning, she had to admit that Madam Ning had indeed taken good care of Chengze.
He was handsome and tall.
That year, because she and Madam Ning were pregnant at the same time, Madam Ning was worried that pregnant women would clash with each other, so she let her rest at home.
Who knew that when her child was eight months old, her husband was killed when he went out with Master Ning.
Upon receiving the news, she was overcome with grief and went into premature labor.
A month later, she returned to work for Madam Ning.
Looking at Madam Ning's sweet appearance with her pregnant belly, I suddenly felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
They're both women, so why is she so happy? I'm a widow, raising a newborn child all by myself.
As if by some strange twist of fate, when Madam Ning inquired about her child's condition, she subconsciously concealed the child's whereabouts and told Madam Ning that she had miscarried due to excessive grief.
Madam Ning took pity on her and asked her to continue recuperating at home, but she refused.
Looking at her belly, she suddenly had an idea.
She poisoned Madam Ning's food every day.
All the toxins accumulated in the child's body.
On the day of delivery, she conspired with the midwife to switch Madam Ning's stillborn child with her son while Madam Ning fainted after giving birth.
Her son was premature, and after raising him for so long, he's only about the same age as a full-term baby, which is enough for him to get by.
As for the stillborn child, it was collected and buried by the midwife.
The midwife was actually unwilling to do this kind of thing, but because Qiao's husband had been kind to her, she agreed to repay the favor.
After doing this, the midwife left and never delivered another baby.
She spent the rest of her life in guilt.
He died of depression in just ten years.
On the contrary, Granny Qiao was doing very well by Madam Ning's side, and her son Ning Chengze also became the young master of the manor.
After hearing what Granny Qiao said, Ning Cheng's expression became inscrutable.
"Don't blame your mother. I didn't mean it. If it weren't for this, you would have no life to speak of. From the moment you were born, you were a servant of the Ning family, and you could only live a life of being bullied."
"I?"
Upon hearing the word "slave," Ning Chengze's expression became even more complicated.
He certainly didn't want to be a slave; he wanted to be someone superior. What if he really became Ning Hongze's slave? No, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
If his parents found out about this, Ning Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
Their coldness towards him, could it be that they suspect him?
Everyone looks out for themselves, and besides, all these wrongdoings were done by Granny Qiao. He doesn't know anything about it? He doesn't know now, and he won't let anyone know in the future either.
"Granny, does anyone else know about this?"
"Silly child, this is something only you and I should know. How could your mother let others know?" As for that midwife, she's long dead.
Of course, if she hadn't died earlier, she wouldn't be alive now.
Granny Qiao wanted to step forward and hug Ning Chengze.
But Ning Chengze took a step back with a cold expression.
"Acceptance?"
Granny Qiao looked at him in surprise, "Can I hold you, Mother?"
"No, Granny Qiao, since you have made me the second young master of the Ning family, then I will always be the second young master of the Ning family, and I will never be your son."
"What's the meaning?"
"Granny, if you really care about me, you should leave here as soon as possible and never appear in front of me again. Only in this way can this secret be kept forever."
"You want me to leave." The smile froze completely on Granny Qiao's face. She looked at Ning Chengze in disbelief. "I've done so much for you, and you just want me to leave like this?"
"You've already done so much for me, and you don't mind doing more? Didn't you say it was for my own good? Now, it's best for me if you leave."
If he could, he would actually like Granny Qiao to disappear from this world completely, but he felt a little strange about it, so he wanted her to leave.
As long as he never sees her again, he will always be the young master of the Ning family, not a lowly servant.
"Fine, I've given birth to an ungrateful wretch. He's truly surpassed his master." She herself betrayed the master who had always taken care of her, and now, her son doesn't even recognize the mother who cared for him so much.
Granny Qiao's eyes stung a little.
She had longed for this for so many years, but she never imagined it would turn out like this. She did have her own selfish motives, but she was genuinely good to Ning Chengze. She never expected it, she really never expected it.
"I'll leave, fine. So what do you plan to do next?" Granny Qiao asked dejectedly.
"I naturally have my own ideas."
If he wants to inherit Jiuxiao Manor, he must secure his position as heir.
Therefore, Ning Hongze still has a father, so he can only feel sorry for them.
"So, I also want to know, what exactly do you want to do?" Just as Ning Chengze was thinking about how to secretly get rid of Ning Hongze and Ning Yunxiao, the door was suddenly kicked open.
Ning Yunxiao, Madam Ning, and even Ning Hongze and his sister were all standing at the door.
Madam Ning's eyes burned with anger. As soon as she stepped into the room, she rushed over and slapped Granny Qiao twice.
"You bitch, have you lost your conscience? How could you do this to me?"
Listen to what she just said.
They drugged her every day, causing her to give birth to a stillborn child.
Her child was killed because of her selfishness.
Even if she only swapped her child, it would be better than killing him.
