Chapter 392 393. Confrontation
Ning Yuchen felt like his head was about to explode. He kept a straight face and pretended nothing had happened. He wished he could draw a clear line between himself and Xiao Wanyu.
But what did my mother do? She actually took her mother-in-law to Shuntian Prefecture to add fuel to the fire.
After all, Xiao Wanyu is Ning Yuchen's concubine now. Making Xiao's reputation even worse will only add to the jokes.
"My son, I'm really not talking nonsense. I really don't feel comfortable all over my body. I suspect that woman is still determined to get rid of Fang Yuan and me." Old Lady Ning is now completely in Xianglin Sao's state, talking to everyone she sees.
Ning Yuchen, "Mom, you've been walking all over the capital these days, and the doctors have said that there's nothing wrong with your body, so stop scaring yourself.
The most important thing for us to do now is to keep a low profile as a family. Once this matter is over and the chapter is over, you can let your son do whatever he wants."
Old Mrs. Ning felt extremely aggrieved. Why couldn't anyone understand her? Now even her proudest son accused her of making trouble.
The old lady suddenly lost her energy and walked back to her room hobbled on her crutches.
Ning Yuchen looked at the empty courtyard and shouted towards Fang Yuan's room, "Fang, this is how you act as the mistress of the family. You have to take charge of all the big and small matters in the family. How can you let them go like this?"
Fang Yuan calmed the two children down before walking out with a sullen face, "Didn't you say before that all matters at home should be decided by mother? Besides, you're afraid that I'll interfere in Aunt Xiao's affairs, so I'm avoiding you just to take advantage of your wishes."
Ning Yuchen only then remembered what he had said a few days ago, and it took him a long time to find his tongue, "Mother is not feeling well now, you should at least support this family."
Fang Yuan didn't argue with him. He turned around and gave orders to his servants, and order was restored in the whole house in a short while.
Although Ning Yuchen felt that the courtyard was pleasing to the eye, he was still angry, "Mom went to Shuntian Mansion, and you didn't know how to stop her?"
"Can I stop you?" Fang Yuan spread his hands. "You and your son have the final say on everything at home and outside. You only told me to take good care of the two children before. What? Now that something has gone wrong, you blame everything on me?"
Fang Yuan left Ning Yuchen speechless, then he turned around and went back to his room with a sneer.
She admitted that she had done it on purpose during this period of time. If she hadn't let them torment her, Ning Yuchen would never have known how destructive his mother was.
Even if the entire Ning family becomes a laughing stock in the entire capital, she doesn't care. When her children grow up, who will remember who is who?

Xiao Wanyu still insisted on her previous confession. Sometimes, after saying it so many times, she even felt that what she said was the truth.
"Gu Lang and I love each other. If it weren't for the Gu Jin family's intolerance, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"So the only evidence you mentioned is that set of jewelry? Where do you usually meet? Do you have the time, place, and witnesses?" Gao Ning stared at the woman in front of him who had fallen into madness. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that she was a little abnormal.
"I don't remember, I grew up in the backyard, and my stepmother rarely allowed me to leave the house.
Usually, when I go out, I am always followed by maids and women, so I don’t remember the place at all.”
Gao Ning slapped the wooden stick hard, "Xiao, even now, you are still lying here.
Don't forget that I also imprisoned your personal maid. She knows exactly what you do and what you do every day."
Xiao Wanyu bit her lip. "Gu Lang and I are in private, so I have to avoid her when I do things. It's normal for her not to know."
"It seems that he won't cry until he sees the coffin," Gao Ning sneered, "I have already investigated the origin of your jewelry.
Do you think you can get away with it by just saying vaguely that you don't know?
But don’t forget, these craftsmen are still here.”
Xiao Wanyu's pupils shrank. She didn't expect that Mr. Gao would be so serious. After several days' journey, could he really have found out everything?
Thinking of the speed of the trip, she immediately shook her head, "I don't know what people mean? But that set of jewelry was really given to me by Gu Lang.
He said that he ordered two sets, one for his wife and one for me, which meant that in his mind I was his wife just like that Jin. Otherwise, I would not have been so cruel as to poison the master according to his instructions. "
Gao Ning, "That's a real coincidence, the person who went to investigate the case also brought the shopkeeper here.
How about you guys have a face-to-face confrontation? Let's see where this set of jewelry came from?"
Xiao Wanyu had been with Xiao Yunhai for many years, so she was naturally familiar with their methods of investigating cases. She thought that this was another trick by the other party, so she immediately straightened up and said firmly, "I am willing to confront him."
Gao Ning squinted his eyes and looked at her. Suddenly he laughed and clapped his hands. "In that case, as you wish, bring the person in to me."
Soon, a yamen runner came in with a middle-aged man. Xiao Wanyu immediately clenched her hands. She still remembered the man in front of her. The jewelry in her hand was handled by him.
"It seems you recognize it," Gao Ning turned to the shopkeeper, "Now tell me about the top items in your shop. Can you guarantee that they are all unique?"
Shopkeeper Luo knelt in front of Gao Ning with fear and trepidation and replied, "My Lord, headgear is usually made according to patterns. Although they look roughly the same, they are made bit by bit by old craftsmen after all, so it is inevitable that there will be some differences.
But I still remember that the set of headgear that the adults showed us was custom-made by the daughter of the then prefectural governor. She liked it very much and asked that the design should not be leaked and that we should not have another set of headgear made in our shop.
Because the other party is the daughter of the prefect, our boss agreed to it. "
Gao Ning glanced at Xiao Wanyu and asked, "Can you see if this is the person?"
Shopkeeper Luo looked at her carefully for a while. Although the woman in front of her was covered in dust, she could still vaguely recognize her. "It is this lady."
"You're talking nonsense," Xiao Wanyu gritted her teeth and glared at Shopkeeper Luo fiercely, "If I had ordered it for you, it would definitely be a one-of-a-kind piece. How come Jin also has an identical set?"
"This was due to a mistake in our shop," Shopkeeper Luo did not dare to hide it, "because the shop assistant did not know the reason and sold the headgear early in the morning.
At that time, our shop also tried hard to get the headgear back, but we searched the entire Daocheng and couldn't find the person. "
Having said this, Shopkeeper Luo glanced at Gao Ning and found that he was listening quietly, so he quickly continued speaking.
