"Ning Hongze, you're still alive?" Seeing Ning Hongze walk in through the door, Uncle Ning screamed. Ning Liu was so frightened she stumbled back. Ning Hongze?
Why is Ning Hongze here?
Why can't I live?
"I watched you breathe your last, and then you were buried...?"
"And then? Go on."
Ning Hong sneered, his eyes fixed on Ning Da Bo and his wife with a sinister gaze that sent chills down their spines.
"You're not dead?"
"No, I died, but because I was worried about Nuonuo, I crawled out of my grave."
Ning Hong deliberately lowered her voice, which was slightly sinister. Coupled with her eerie expression, Ning Liu's eyelids rolled back and she fainted.
The two of them were already feeling guilty, and when they suddenly saw Ning Hong, who should have been dead, they were even more terrified and trembled.
Uncle Ning was a man after all; he dared to suggest killing Ning Hongze and sending her to be married off, which showed he was bolder than Ning Liu Shi.
He gritted his teeth, trying to calm himself down.
He then stepped forward and grabbed Ning Hongze's hand.
My hands are warm.
"You're alive, you're a living person."
"Of course I'm alive. After all, you're not dead yet, so how could I dare to die?"
"You're not dead, why are you scaring people?"
Now that Ning Hongze wasn't dead, Uncle Ning's courage returned. "Was she trying to scare us on purpose?"
He suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand, and tried to hit Ning Hongze.
Ning Hongze grabbed his wrist. "What, you want to hit me?"
“You, I’m your uncle, so what if I hit you? It’s only natural.”
"But I don't want you to hit me anymore." Back then, he was too young in this body and had just recovered from a serious illness, so he couldn't muster the strength, which is why his uncle Ning beat him so badly. But things are different now.
He's grown up, eating and drinking well. Although he looks thin, he's quite strong. Anyone who wants to beat him up like they used to would have to think twice before doing so.
"You assaulted a scholar who passed the imperial examination? That's against the law!" Han Tianbao shouted angrily when he saw Ning Dabo's arrogant demeanor and Ning Hong grabbed Ning Dabo's wrist.
"What kind of scholar?"
They've been talking about scholars who passed the imperial examinations, but where did they get these scholars from?
“Let me tell you, my brother is now a scholar who has passed the imperial examinations. He is no longer someone you can beat up at will.”
Ning Nuonuo snorted at the two of them and raised her chin high.
Since she was a child, she had hoped that one day she could hold her chin high in front of her uncle Ning, just as they had done to her when they were children. Now, she had finally achieved it.
My brother is definitely the best.
Ning Nuonuo looked at Ning Hongze with admiration.
Han Tianbao: "???????"
What should I do if I suddenly feel a bit sour and bitter?
Uncle Ning was completely lost all day.
When he heard that Ning Hongze had passed the imperial examination and become a Juren (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations), his heart sank as if into a cellar, feeling icy cold.
How come that bitch is so lucky?
His son has been studying since he was a child, but he still hasn't passed the imperial examination to become a scholar.
He had already become a Juren (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations).
The Ning family actually produced a scholar who passed the imperial examination, but he had completely offended him. Not only could he not benefit from Ning Hongze's status as a scholar, but he also had to be extremely careful, hoping that Ning Hongze would not think of retaliating against him.
But is it even possible?
Not only did he offend Ning Hongze, but the entire Ningjia Village did as well.
I'm afraid the only person who hasn't offended Ning Hongze is the village chief.
I wonder if Ning Hong would be willing to let them off the hook out of respect for the village chief if he intervened?
Back at the Ning family mansion, Ning Nuonuo hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Speak your mind. Is there anything we siblings can't talk about?"
"Brother, were you really buried back then?"
"Yes, I really did crawl out of my grave. You are my only sister, and I'm afraid that if I die, no one will take care of you."
Ning Hong looked at Ning Nuonuo with a slight smile.
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Nuonuo flew into his arms like a cannonball, "Brother???????"
Ning Nuonuo felt incredibly lucky.
I'm so grateful to have such a brother in my life.
"Brother, you must stay with me for the rest of your life."
"Silly girl, I don't want to stay with you for the rest of my life. I still need to get married." Ning Hong smiled and rubbed Ning Nuonuo's head. "Besides, the person who will stay with you for the rest of your life is right there."
Ning Hong then pushed Ning Nuonuo next to Han Tianbao.
"Brother is so mean, how could you say that?" But seeing Han Tianbao looking at her with such affection, Ning Nuonuo couldn't help but blush again.
"Nuonuo, I swear, I will love you for the rest of my life, and I will love you even more than your brother."
Han Tianbao reached out and grasped Ning Nuonuo's hand.
Oh, his little hands are so soft and tender, so nice to touch.
"That's enough! We're not even married yet. If you keep touching me, I'll lose my temper." Seeing Han Tianbao holding onto her sister's hand, Ning Hong finally couldn't hold back and pulled Ning Nuonuo to her side. "If you touch me again before the wedding, I'll cripple you."
Han Tianbao: "???????"
For a fleeting moment, I thought my brother-in-law was a good person; I must have been out of my mind.
For the next three days, Uncle Ning was restless, worried that Ning Hong would take revenge on him.
However, Ning Hong remained completely silent, which put his mind at ease somewhat.
Actually, he wasn't so afraid anymore. Ning Hong was a scholar who had passed the imperial examinations, and his daughter had married a scholar who had also passed the imperial examinations.
They're all scholars who passed the imperial examinations, what's there to be afraid of?
But before he could fully relax, officials from the government arrived.
Several constables arrested Uncle Ning and Madam Ning and brought them to the courtroom.
Uncle Ning was wondering what was going on when he saw Ning Hongze and Ning Nuonuo standing in the courtroom.
Ning Hong even turned around and gave him a sinister smile.
"Ning Hongze, what do you want to do?" Uncle Ning never expected that Ning Hongze would actually file a lawsuit against him.
"What do I want to do? Naturally, I want to sue you for disregarding human life."
Back then, he was young and powerless, and had no ability to avenge himself. Now that he has passed the imperial examination, he naturally wants to seek justice for himself and his sister.
He didn't want to let any of the people who had harmed them get away with it.
The village chief mingled in the crowd, watching Ning Hong stand upright in the courtroom, and felt a surge of emotions.
I wonder how the people in the village are feeling?
If I had helped Ning back when he was down on his luck, Ning would have been grateful and repaid the favor. I only took care of him out of a sense of responsibility. Ning then found his son a job at a restaurant so that he would no longer have to toil in the fields.
One cause, one effect.
Why???????
