Chapter 177: Death of Nangong Dao
Chapter 177: Death of Nangong Dao
"You should be quiet for now. Big brother may be soft-hearted, but mother is not. If you really provoke them, the Second Prince won't be able to protect you."
Nangong Ling watched coldly as Nangong Dao jumped up and down there, and attacked Nangong Mu again and again.
Nangong Ling, who had crude methods, didn't even want to say anything. Did he really think that others were fools?
Especially since you failed once and just stopped, but you attacked Nangong Mu again and again.
"I think you are just jealous that I have won the favor of the Second Prince."
Although Nangong Dao used to be a little simple-minded, at least he could listen to others.
But since following Xuanyuan Qing, Nangong Dao has become a little arrogant, and his relationship with Nangong Ling and Nangong Chen is not as good as before.
However, Nangong Dao's departure satisfied Nangong Ling and Nangong Chen.
Nangong Ling and Nangong Chen are more self-aware than Nangong Dao. They don’t think Xuanyuan Qing can pull Xuanyuan Leng down.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Qing’s final ending will definitely not be good. I don’t know if there are any benefits to being too close to Xuanyuan Qing, but there are definitely disadvantages.
"I've warned you, but if you insist on continuing to do stupid things, I can't do anything about it."
If it weren't for the fact that they had been in cahoots for so many years and had some brotherly love, Nangong Ling wouldn't have bothered to care whether Nangong Dao was dead or alive.
Nangong Dao didn't take Nangong Ling's words to heart.
In Nangong Dao's opinion, the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince were standing behind him, so how could Zhong Yumei dare to go against the two princes?
Nangong Mu looked at Nangong Dao who was jumping up and down trying to bribe the people around him.
Nangong Dao thought that no one noticed his actions, but he didn't know that many of the people around Nangong Mu were carefully trained for him by Nangong Tao, and their loyalty was absolutely beyond reproach.
As soon as Nangong Dao bribed someone, Nangong Mu found out.
In addition to bribing Nangong Mu's people, Nangong Dao also went to Xuanyuan Qing's mansion every day. Now everyone in the imperial capital knew that Nangong Dao was Xuanyuan Qing's man.
Xuanyuan Qing even used Nangong Dao to start contacting some of Nangong Tao's subordinates.
Although those people were vague about Xuanyuan Qing's attempts to win them over, if they continued like this, something bad would happen sooner or later.
So, Nangong Mu, who was originally a little conflicted, made up his mind completely that Nangong Dao could not stay any longer.
Nangong Mu could hope that the Holy Father would not care about what Nangong Dao did to him.
But Nangong Mu could not just watch Nangong Dao drag the Duke's Mansion into the abyss.
"Nangong Dao has been abolished."
Nangong Jing didn't expect Xuanyuan Xingyao to bring back such explosive news.
"Nangong Dao was crippled??? Why was he crippled all of a sudden??? By whom???"
Perhaps the news was too shocking, so Nangong Jing asked three questions in a row.
"By your eldest brother."
Xuanyuan Xingyao said in a deep voice.
The news that Nangong Dao was abolished was shocking enough, but unexpectedly, there was something even more shocking: Nangong Mu abolished Nangong Dao? ? ?
"Brother was fine, why did you suddenly destroy Nangong Dao? It won't affect your reputation, will it?"
Nangong Dao is useless. If Nangong Mu doesn't take action, Nangong Jing will find a chance to kill him.
It's not nice to say that he had crippled his own brother for no reason, and Nangong Jing didn't want Nangong Mu to be blamed by outsiders.
"Don't worry, it was Nangong Dao who provoked Big Brother first, wanting to spar with Big Brother. It was also Nangong Dao who struck first, and everyone knows that Big Brother was just fighting back. Who knew that Nangong Dao couldn't dodge in time, and ended up being accidentally hit in the vitals by Big Brother. Although his life was saved, he was crippled."
Xuanyuan Xingyao said it lightly, but Nangong Jing knew that Nangong Mu must have done something.
This is indeed the case. The reason why Nangong Dao provoked Nangong Mu was entirely because Nangong Mu instigated someone.
After deciding to eliminate Nangong Dao, Nangong Mu had been thinking about how to do it without anyone finding fault with him.
In the end, Nangong Mu decided to take advantage of Nangong Dao's impulsive personality.
Nangong Mu knew that, except for Nangong Jing, the other brothers and sisters were surrounded by Zhong Yumei's people.
So Nangong Mu asked Zhong Yumei for help and had someone flatter and instigate Nangong Dao in his ear. Nangong Dao, who was much more arrogant than before, really took the bait.
It was also Xuanyuan Qing and Xuanyuan Xi who, in order to better control Nangong Dao, had been praising him openly and secretly, making Nangong Dao extremely confident and really thinking that he was much better than Nangong Mu.
Therefore, after being provoked for a few times, Nangong Dao proposed to Nangong Mu to have a competition with him while Nangong Mu was practicing magic.
This was originally done by Nangong Mu, so naturally he would not refuse.
Even after the two started sparring, he deliberately attacked Nangong Dao in the open, which directly made Nangong Dao angry and his attacks became more and more fierce.
When Nangong Dao started to lose his composure, Nangong Mu took action and directly injured Nangong Dao's vital points.
Although Nangong Dao's life was not taken, it made him unable to use magic from then on, which means that Nangong Dao was useless.
Everyone actually knew what was going on, but on the surface it was Nangong Dao's own fault, and Nangong Mu was just forced to fight back.
I have to say that Nangong Mu is quite powerful. Not only did he eliminate an enemy, but he also left no trace. No matter who comes, they will not be able to find fault with him.
Nangong Ling and Nangong Chen used to look down on Nangong Mu, thinking that he was too soft-hearted and just had a good family background.
But the way Nangong Mu dealt with Nangong Dao this time made the two realize that Nangong Mu was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
The reason why Nangong Mu was noticed by Nangong Tao and was brought under his care for instruction was definitely not just because he was the eldest son.
"Nangong Dao didn't seem so brainless before, why has he become so impulsive now?"
Nangong Jing muttered in confusion.
Nangong Jing remembered Nangong Dao in his previous life. Although he was a little impulsive, he also had some quick wits. But in this life, he seemed to have lost his brain. He was impulsive, anxious and brainless.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was not familiar with Nangong Dao, so he could not give Nangong Jing any answer.
Fortunately, Nangong Jing didn't expect to get any answer from Xuanyuan Xingyao.
After Nangong Dao was deposed, there was much less noise from Nangong Mu's side. At least he didn't have to have Zhuo Yunsheng accompany him for dinner every day.
But Nangong Mu was quiet, while Nangong Dao started to go crazy.
Ever since he knew that he could no longer use magic, Nangong Dao went completely crazy. Every day he was either smashing things or cursing Nangong Mu.
The curse words were really unbearable to hear.
Nangong Mu pretended not to hear anything about this. After a while, Nangong felt tired and kept quiet.
I don’t know if he finally accepted the fact that he had become a disabled person, but after Nangong Dao went crazy for more than a week, he actually stopped going crazy.
At first, the servants were quite happy, thinking that their ears would finally no longer suffer.
But who would have thought that even after the servants delivered meals several times, there was no movement in the room.
Because Nangong Dao had gone crazy before, no one dared to barge in. They just thought that Nangong Dao was not hungry yet, and thought that if Nangong Dao was really hungry he would always call for help, so they took the food away.
But when there was no movement in the room for a whole day and night, the servants serving Nangong Dao began to panic and quickly reported the matter to the housekeeper.
Even though Nangong Dao was already disabled, he was still the young master of the mansion. The housekeeper naturally did not dare to treat him lightly and hurried over to check the situation.
"Second Young Master, you haven't eaten for a whole day and night. Why don't you open the door and let me bring you some food?"
The housekeeper first stood at the door and knocked, then asked in a low voice. Seeing that there was no movement in the house for a long time, he became more and more uneasy.
The butler thought about it and decided to push the door open and go in to take a look. If something really happened, he would not be able to explain to Nangong Tao.
Although he had a bad premonition in his heart, the butler was still shocked when he pushed the door open and saw Nangong Dao with his eyes open.
The servant beside him even screamed.
The sudden death of the Duke's son is no small matter, and the steward dares not make the decision on his own.
Nangong Tao was not in the mansion at the moment, so the housekeeper reported it to Zhong Yumei.
Zhong Yumei was also shocked when she learned that Nangong Dao was dead.
Zhong Yumei knew that Nangong Dao was deposed because of Nangong Mu's scheme, and she even helped arrange the people.
But Taoist Nangong died suddenly, and Zhong Yumei really didn't know what happened.
No matter what, the illegitimate son died suddenly, and Zhong Yumei, the legal mother, couldn't just stay away without showing up.
So, Zhong Yumei brought people to Nangong Dao's yard.
When Zhong Yumei arrived, Nangong Dao's biological mother was already there, holding Nangong Dao's body and crying heart-wrenchingly.
When he saw Zhong Yumei appear, he stared at her with eyes full of hatred and madness.
It seemed as if Zhong Yumei was the murderer of Nangong Dao.
The other person's eyes made Zhong Yumei feel a little uncomfortable, but Zhong Yumei also understood the other person's pain of losing a child. If the situation were reversed, Zhong Yumei might be even more crazy than the other person.
"It's you, right? I know it must be you. It's you who killed my Daoer."
Nangong Dao's biological mother spoke to Zhong Yumei with gritted teeth, and her expression looked as if she wanted to eat Zhong Yumei alive.
"I understand your feelings, but that doesn't mean you can throw dirty water on me at will. Nangong Dao is already a useless person and can't cause any harm to my son. Why should I dirty my hands to kill him?"
Zhong Yumei said disdainfully.
"If it's not you, then it's Nangong Mu. It must be him, it must be him."
I don’t know if it was because the shock was too great, but Nangong Dao’s biological mother looked a little crazy.
Zhong Yumei was able to remain calm, but once Nangong Mu was involved, she could no longer remain calm and shouted at him angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your son's death has nothing to do with Mu'er."
"Who else could it be besides him? If it weren't for him, would my son be deposed? I know he's just holding a grudge against my son for winning the Second Prince's favor, so he's anxious to get rid of my son so he can secure his position as heir."
"If I remember correctly, your son was deposed because he brought it upon himself. He was the one who provoked Mu'er first. And even if your son won the Second Prince's favor, so what? My son is the eldest son and is also very outstanding. How could the Duke give up my son and choose your son just for the Second Prince?"
What Zhong Yumei didn't finish saying was that Nangong Dao had been completely abandoned by Nangong Tao after he boarded Xuanyuan Qing's ship.
So if Nangong Dao hadn't been courting death and hadn't insisted on attacking Nangong Mu, Zhong Yumei would have long since stopped taking him seriously, let alone thinking of dealing with him.
