Chapter 111 The Spies

Yang Ning asked, “You seem to fear the Duke of Huainan. What? Does he have complaints about our family?”Mao Wenshou answered, “Your Excellency, you don’t know that. When His Majesty chose the crown prince, there were different opinions at the imperial court. Some people even asked His Majesty to let the Duke of Huainan take the throne. Of course, the Duke of Huainan must have been behind the scenes, but there were conflicts when the crown prince was decided and even several officials were punished.”Yang Ning asked, “Oh? The Duke of Huainan always wants to take the throne?”Mao Wenshou answered, “If only the Duke of Huainan has this intention, it is not scary. But as far as I know, many officials at the imperial court side with him. One of the four marquises, the Marquis of Golden Sword has a good relationship with the Duke of Huainan.”“The Marquis of Golden Sword?”Although Mao Wenshou was just a local official, obv

Chapter 112 Confusing the Eye

The fake Qi Cheng replied, “I don’t know…” Seeing the killing intent in Yang Ning’s eyes, he added hurriedly, “I really don’t know. I just followed Judge’s orders and don’t know why we gave the tax silver to the third elder lord in your family.”Yang Ning asked, “Since you controlled the old house, why did you send all the tax silver to us these years? You wanted to calm down the marquis’ mansion?”The fake Qi Cheng answered, “If we didn’t send the tax silver on time, you would come to investigate, and all our plans would be ruined. Only when you don’t know anything can we do something in Jiangling.” He paused for a while and then continued, “After we controlled the old house of the Qi family, we increased the tax in the fiefdom by twenty percent, and Zhao Yuan kept this twenty percent in his pocket.”“The tax for three years is not a small amount of money. What did he use it to do?”The fake Qi Cheng was about to say that he didn’

Chapter 113 Being Disloyal

Although Gu Qinghan had been married to the Qi family, the Gu family still kept her yard, which was kept clean and tidy. After Yang Ning entered the house, he saw Gu Qinghan waiting inside. When Gu Qinghan saw Yang Ning coming in, she got up immediately and stepped forward quickly.Yang Ning was about to say something to comfort Gu Qinghan, but the latter had already raised her hand and slapped Yang Ning. He could have easily dodged, but at that moment, he did not. Gu Qinghan’s hand touched Yang Ning’s face. Obviously she didn’t use all her strength, so it didn’t hurt. Yang Ning smiled bitterly, and Gu Qinghan said with an angry face, “Do you know why I hit you?”“You are blaming me for my leaving alone that day.” Yang Ning sighed gently.Gu Qinghan was about to cry and said, “You knew that? Do you know that if something serious happens to you, how can I live alone?”“Third Auntie…” Yang Ning was touched, and said softly, “You know

Chapter 114 Being Triumphant

When Yang Ning and his people returned to the capital, it had become quite cold. The atmosphere there was also very cold.The gates of the capital had been closed, and the guards of the city had put on white helmets and white armor. Before entering the city, Yang Ning felt the severe atmosphere in the capital.People were forbidden to enter or exit the capital. Only a small door was opened, and Yang Ning showed his identity. Even so, they also experienced the inspection before entering the city.The streets and alleys in the city were all white. When Qi Jing, the Marquis of Honor, died before, several streets were wrapped in white. At this time, when the emperor of the Chu Country passed away, the whole city was in white. There were white flags floating in front of every house. Few people were in the streets, which looked cold and lonely.Yang Ning only felt rather unlucky. This was the second time he had entered the capital. When

Chapter 115 Expel Them

Qi Yu roared, “Shut up! The mansion of the Marquis of Honor doesn’t belong to you alone, and you don’t have the right to speak to my mother in this way.”“If he doesn’t have the right, who does?” A cold voice came, and Gu Qinghan walked in slowly, with frost on her pretty face. “Qi Ning is the heir of the Marquis of Honor, and General has passed away, so everything in the mansion should be under his control. Is there any doubts?” She stared at Lady Qiong coldly with her beautiful eyes and sneered. “Qiong, can you take that seat?”Seeing that Gu Qinghan also showed up, Steward Qiu hurriedly smiled. “My Lady, you suffered a lot on the trip. You finally come back. In fact, there is nothing serious. These days, you and His Excellency were not in the mansion, so these servants were lazy. Young Master and Lady Qiong just came to help manage the domestic affairs.”“Oh?” Yang Ning looked back. “Steward Qiu, didn’t you say that there are no Young Master

Chapter 116 Sound out

Steward Qiu trembled and smiled in embarrassment. “Your Excellency, please stop joking. I wished every day and night that you and the third lady could return to the mansion earlier.” He shook his head and sighed. “Tell you something that I shouldn’t say. If you and the third lady don’t come back, with Lady Qiong here, the mansion wouldn’t be tranquil.”Yang Ning asked, “Steward Qiu, I heard that you took over the position from your father, and he was the steward in the mansion in the past.”“Yes, my father and I worked for the mansion all the time.” Steward Qiu sighed with emotion. “The old marquis and General were our benefactors, and I can hardly repay their kindness to us.”Yang Ning asked with a smile, “Steward Qiu, do you think who is more suitable to inherit the marquis’ title, me or Qi Yu?”Steward Qiu was stunned and then replied at once, “How can Qi Yu compare with you? You are the inheritor chosen by General, and logicall

Chapter 117 Ungrateful

Yang Ning frowned. “What do you mean? Did Gene…Father die for some reason behind it?”Qiu Yi replied at once, “I didn’t mean that. When General went to the battlefield, the third elder lord told me in private. He came to see me that time just to…help Qi Yu inherit the title. Qi Yu and Lady Qiong were present then, and they promised to give me two hundred families in the fiefdom and eight hundred mu of farmland.”“So our young master Qi Yu is really generous.” Yang Ning snorted. “But what does it have to do with the matter that you hooked up with Zhao Yuan and the others secretly?”Qiu Yi hesitated for a moment and then answered, “Just at that time, one day the third elder lord told me to see him and I saw Zhao Yuan. I didn’t know that he had become the accountant in the old house. The third elder lord knew earlier than me about what happened in the old house.”“Why did he see the third elder lord?”Qiu Yi responded, “T

Chapter 118 Make a Clean Break

In the main hall of the marquis’ mansion, there were many people. One elder sat in each of the eight chairs with carve patterns on the left and right inside. Behind each elder, many people stood, including the old and young, filling the hall.The third elder lord sat at the head on the left, dressed in brocade clothes and a fur hat. He looked cold on his old face with wrinkles.The fifth lord was not present, but the sixth lord stood behind the third elder lord with hatred on his face. Qi Yu was next to him and looked cold.There were two light shelves on each of both sides of the hall with four oil lamps, which lit up the hall.When Yang Ning entered the main hall, many people inside put their heads together and whispered to one another, and the hall was noisy. As soon as Yang Ning showed up, all the voices stopped, and countless eyes fell on him at the same time. They showed different expressions. The third elder lord glanced at

Chapter 119 Take Back the Silver

The third elder lord seemed to have not expected Yang Ning to be so decisive. He was stunned for a while, and the hall was deadly silent. All people were petrified.After a long time, the corners of the third elder lord’s mouth twitched. “Can you make the decision?” He sneered. “I advise you to ask the dowager.”“No need to ask.” A voice came from outside the door. All people paid attention to Yang Ning and didn’t notice what happened outside. Hearing the voice, everybody looked at the door at the same time.They saw that Gu Qinghan with a nice figure supported one person to come in, who was short and humpbacked seriously with white hair all over the head. Seen at first glance, it was like a dwarf. But seeing this person, all people in the hall looked stiff. The people who were standing straightened their backs immediately and the elders who sat in the chairs stood up.The dowager in the marquis’ mansion came out in person at this

Chapter 120 The Tiger Came Back

Yang Ning knew that Gu Qinghan needed silver urgently now, so he was determined to get back all the tax silver next day.But today the dowager’s attitude surprised Yang Ning. She told everybody in public that she would let him manage the mansion, which caught him off guard.Although after Qi Jing died, the marquis’ mansion would be left to the heir sooner or later, it made Yang Ning feel curious as the dowager said that without hesitation.After all, not long ago, the heir of the Marquis of Honor was almost an idiot in everybody’s eyes, and the dowager certainly knew that. Just in a few days, she told him to manage the mansion, and any normal person would be astonished.But Yang Ning felt happy after breaking away from the Qi clan.Those people fawned upon the rich and powerful people and had their own ulterior motives. If they were tangled all the time, Yang Ning would dislike the Qi clan more and more, but now they h
