The person he was trying to save wasn't a cute and adorable girl, but a man.
The original owner's younger brother, Ning Qingfeng.
When Liu was pregnant with her second child, Wei Qing's mother, Wang, also happened to be pregnant.
The Ning family was well-off back then, and Ning's father had a good relationship with Wei Er, who was also Wei Qing's father.
The two often got together to drink and chat.
When the two got excited from drinking, they arranged a marriage between their unborn children.
The saying goes that if it's a man and a woman, they will get married.
They also exchanged tokens of affection in person.
Once they both sobered up, they didn't regret it.
Ning's father was cheerful, generous, and capable. Although Wei Er was also capable, he was simple and honest. Moreover, the Wei family had not separated from the Ning family, and their family conditions were quite different from those of the Ning family. From beginning to end, it should be said that the Wei family was marrying above their station with the Ning family.
Unfortunately, things changed later.
Ning Hong was pushed into the water by Wei Da's son and caught a cold. Since then, her health has been poor. Ning's father was heartbroken to see his son like this, but because Wei Er pleaded so earnestly, he let Wei Da's son go for the sake of his future in-laws.
However, a rift has already formed between the two families.
Later, Ning's father died unexpectedly, leaving the Ning family with only a widow and her children.
Fortunately, Ning's father left them a considerable fortune.
However, for an orphan and a widow to possess so much wealth is like a crime, and the villagers couldn't help but be tempted.
Then a matchmaker came to propose marriage, hoping that Liu would marry him.
How could Lady Liu possibly agree?
They refused outright.
One after another, he offended quite a few people in the village.
Among them were relatives of the Wei family.
The Wei family also encouraged Wei Er to visit as a future in-law, saying he could help the Ning family safeguard their property.
Madam Liu was even more displeased. She already harbored resentment towards the Wei family, and immediately said that she wanted to dissolve their engagement.
The Wei family was naturally unwilling, and in the ensuing scuffle, they pushed Ning Hongze to the ground, causing her to bleed profusely from her head. She managed to hold on for two days, but ultimately succumbed to her injuries and died.
Because of the murder, those who wanted to fight over the property scattered in all directions.
Liu harbored deep hatred for the Wei family.
Liu originally wanted to report the matter to the authorities, but the village chief gave her a severe threat.
The village chief told her that if Liu dared to sue the authorities, Ning Hongze's body would not be allowed to be moved into the Ning family's ancestral graveyard.
This matter involves far too many people.
If things get too out of hand, it will be difficult to manage.
The village chief offered these words of comfort, but Liu's eyes turned red with hatred.
The Ning family had kindly leased their land to these villagers at an extremely low price, but now, these people not only showed no gratitude but also took advantage of their misfortune.
Liu knew that she would definitely not be able to keep these properties.
She pondered all night, then went to the Wei family's door to retrieve the token and dissolved the engagement.
She stated bluntly that if the Wei family did not agree, she would sue the eldest son of the Wei family for murder for money.
The Wei family immediately backed down and made Wei Qing return the token.
Wei Qing was unwilling; she actually quite liked Ning Qingfeng.
On that very day, Liu took the family's land deeds, house deeds, and all their property to town and sold all of their assets.
He took the silver and the ashes and memorial tablets of the Ning family father and son, and left Liuxia Town under a different name.
As for those fields, they will naturally be taken back by their new owners.
Since those people don't care about the life or death of her and her son, why should she repay evil with kindness?
She found a village some distance from Liuxia Town, spent money to re-register her household registration, and the two of them lived cautiously, never daring to flaunt their wealth.
Three years later, Ning Qingfeng passed the county-level imperial examination and became a student of the Imperial Academy. Three years later, he passed the provincial-level imperial examination and became a second-class Jinshi.
When they returned home in glory, they made a special trip to Weihe Village.
By this time, the Wei family had already split up.
The second son of the Wei family had nothing. Even his daughter, Wei Qing, was sold by the Wei family couple to a cripple in the village, all so that the eldest son of the Wei family could pass the imperial examination.
Seeing Ning Qingfeng so successful and glamorous, Wei Qing's eyes were filled with tears.
If the Wei family hadn't fallen out with the Ning family back then, she would be the wife of a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations) by now.
The rest of the Wei family also deeply regretted their actions.
Ning Qingfeng returned, naturally seeking revenge. He wanted them to witness his glory firsthand, yet remain unable to even get a piece of it.
He will take revenge on everyone who wronged them back then.
Ning Hong let out a soft sigh.
If the story really ended like that, it would still be a pretty good inspirational story.
However, that is not the case.
After all, the male lead isn't Ning Qingfeng.
The woman who traveled from another time had read this story before.
Thinking about it this way, she must have transmigrated into the book.
Fearing that Ning Qingfeng would become addicted to gambling in the future, she asked her business partner to help her by having someone lure Ning Qingfeng into gambling.
May they be ruined and their family bankrupted.
The original owner of this body was beaten to death by thugs from a gambling den. Liu committed suicide, leaving Ning Qingfeng alone. He had one leg broken and his whereabouts became unknown.
The original owner was only lamenting her younger brother's lack of ambition, but after learning the original plot, she became furious.
His younger brother should have reached the pinnacle of his life, but because of this unknown person, his life was ruined, and his Ning family was destroyed.
If this transmigrated woman were a little more rational, she could persuade the Wei family not to attack the Ning family. In the future, when the Ning family is successful, they will naturally not forget the Wei family.
