When Mingzhi appeared in public the next day, his face and the corner of his mouth were bruised.
What's wrong with you?
Lady Hou looked worried; how could her face turn pale all of a sudden?
"I had a nightmare last night because I accidentally bumped into something."
Mingzhi said embarrassedly.
He was beaten up by his brother.
However, this was the first time he had ever experienced being beaten by his older brother, and the feeling was somewhat complicated.
Ning Anuo glanced at Ming Zhi silently.
He must have bumped into something; his brother must have beaten him up.
His yard was right next to Mingzhi's, and he heard Mingzhi suddenly screaming last night.
Honestly, if his brother hadn't gone there first, he would have wanted to beat him up too.
What nightmare did you have?
Lady Hou couldn't help but touch his face and asked a maid to bring the medicine over.
"Is it that nightmare again?"
Ever since Mingzhi had that dream, it would replay every few days, making him extremely haggard. It was only recently, after things were resolved, that he began to recover somewhat.
The nightmare only stopped after I returned from the mountain village.
I can finally sleep well at night.
"No, it can't really be called a nightmare, it's just that I saw another ending."
Mingzhi smiled and said, "Sometimes, many things have two sides. I misunderstood something before."
But now, the misunderstanding has been cleared up.
He shouldn't have misunderstood Ningzhu; Ningzhu isn't that kind of person.
She was able to fight alongside him on the battlefield and stand guard with him on the border. After so many years of ups and downs, how could she give up on him so easily?
Thinking of this, Mingzhi's gaze softened a bit.
Wait a minute, after hearing Jiang Yun and Ming Zhi's conversation, Ning Hong suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
That said, how did they know the two families' children had been switched at birth?
The original owner of this body was from God's perspective and could see things clearly, so how did this family find out?
"Host, are you out of your mind? You only realized this now?"
Ning Hongze: "..."
Seeing Ah Cha so happy made me forget many of the doubts.
Why did Acha go to Dashan Village?
How did they know the babies were switched at birth? Just by their appearance?
Ning Hong lowered her eyes, and Mingzhi—she must have been reborn.
So what happened next?
Madam Jiang kept mentioning nightmares, so it's likely that Mingzhi used those nightmares to bring up the matter.
"0321, what happened next?"
"I'm not quite sure either. Although there is a world storyline, the story is never static. The flapping of a butterfly's wings could change the whole world."
"Oh, so a little butterfly appeared in this world and then turned the whole world upside down?"
When Mingzhi mentions her past life, describing it as a nightmare, it's clear that her previous life must have had a terrible ending.
And it is highly likely that this is because the babies were switched at birth.
So the first thing he wanted to do after regaining his senses was to set things right.
However, he probably didn't expect that neither of the two families would be willing.
"Do you want to ask him?"
The system asked again.
"I won't ask anymore. What's the point? He's not on our side anyway." Since he's reborn, we might as well just follow him.
I suppose he should be able to avoid all the storms quite accurately.
Wouldn't it be better to just sit back and win?
Thinking about this, Ning Hong felt even more at ease.
Ning Hong always felt that her life from now on should be peaceful. She had taken her revenge, and her younger brother, grandmother, and Qian Duo were all safe and sound by her side.
Because his grandmother wasn't used to living in the Marquis of Dingyuan's mansion, he originally wanted to buy all the houses next door. But he didn't know how the Emperor heard about it.
They directly bestowed upon him a house in the vicinity.
A large house with five courtyards.
"My God, this really is our home now!" Grandma Ning asked happily. "It feels like a dream."
"This really is our home."
Ning Anuo was also very excited.
Looking left and right, running around looking.
Jiang Yun felt both happy and a little sad.
Looking at the excited family, Ning Hong suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
Why give him a house for no reason?
He only wants a hollow title.
He has absolutely no desire for real power.
Isn't the Emperor being a little too nice to him? This fawning from the Emperor is making him even more uneasy.
Hmm, he's probably overthinking it.
However, it turned out that he hadn't thought it through.
When he received the imperial edict, he was completely frozen.
What the hell?
Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
He—a commoner, appointed as Vice Minister of Revenue? Has the Emperor made a mistake?
Or has he gone mad?
Ning Hong really wanted to slap the imperial edict in the face of the messenger.
But the messenger was his future father-in-law, so how could he dare to disrespect him?
He could only accept the imperial edict with a frown.
"Speaking of which, I owe my position to you. Now I am the Minister of Revenue. We, father-in-law and son-in-law, should work hard to serve the Emperor."
Ning Hongze: "..."
No, he doesn't want to do it at all.
But seeing his father-in-law's expectant gaze, he couldn't bring himself to utter a sound.
"I'll do my best."
I feel like I've lost out big time—
