I'll tell you the secret and let's laugh together!

Alimu Duoduo's attention had already shifted away from this matter, and he asked, "Yaoyao? Are you still hanging out with that girl from the Bai Mansion?"

"Think carefully, if it weren't for her, you wouldn't have clashed with Prince An. Until now, you are still the son-in-law of the distinguished Prince An. With the status of Prince An's son-in-law, you will be more legitimate in the future."

Su Yunyu was stunned. He didn't expect his mother to bring up this matter again. When he first heard about this outrageous thing, he was also passionate and impulsive, but that was only a momentary courage. After careful consideration, he still backed down.

"Mother, this is a serious matter, and we need to think about it carefully. Not to mention that my son is not legitimate, if we really want to take action, we don't have so many people, and the emperor is the people's favorite, so we can't do anything. Let's maintain the status quo."

Alimu Duoduo had not yet made Su Yunyu completely stand in his camp, and naturally had not revealed his true identity. When he heard that he had retreated again, he felt annoyed.

But he still patiently comforted her:

"My son is right. We still need to think about this matter carefully. I just made a slip of the tongue that day. You don't have to take it to heart. I love my son. I just can't bear to see you being wronged. How about this? You go back first. I will think of a way to end this matter. I will definitely not let Prince An find out about us."

Su Yunyu stood up and suddenly remembered another thing.

"Mom, I remember that Jiang Sinian was rescued by us, right? We can put the blame on him. We rescued him with so much effort, so it's not too much to let him take the blame for us, right?"

"Well, you are right. I will leave the rest to you. You can go back soon."

Su Yunyu nodded happily and felt that it was better to stay with his mother. No matter what he said, his mother would support him.

Only after Su Yunyu completely left did Alimu Duoduo's face turn gloomy.

The subordinate waiting on the side said carefully:

"Master, don't be angry. The young master is still young, and no one has taught him strategies for so many years. If you teach him, he will definitely be better than you in time."

"He is indecisive, hesitant, soft-hearted, and shallow-minded. He has many flaws, but this is the kind of son I need. This is great. I like him very much!"

After the subordinate finished speaking, the gloomy look on Alim Duoduo's face disappeared and was replaced by a smile.

The subordinate's name was Kashi. He had stayed with Alim Duoduo for a long time and was very good at guessing his master's thoughts. After understanding the ambition in her words, he immediately lowered his head and pretended that he had heard nothing.

"Haha, Kashi, you are a smart person, and you are also an old man who has always been by my side. My brilliant light will surely shine on you in the future."

Kashi knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed several times, "I swear to follow you till death!"

A few days later, Ning Mansion.

"Wow, mom, it's so high. It's so fun."

Ning Zhiyi was sitting on the swing, and Mu stood behind the swing, looking at her little daughter on the swing with a smile on her face.

Ning Shengan and Ning Yuanze were practicing martial arts, the second brother Ning Yuanting was painting at the desk, the third brother Ning Yuanyi was playing the flute, and Ning Yuanzhi, who had nothing to do, was strolling around.

Sometimes he cheers for his father and eldest brother, sometimes he hands the paintbrush to the second brother, and sometimes he goes to make trouble for the third brother. Anyway, he is a professional when it comes to tricking the third brother.

He made a face and successfully made Ning Yuanyi laugh, and the sound of the flute became disordered for a moment.

Ning Yuanyi: "Get lost!"

"Don't make me slap you when I'm having so much fun!"

Ning Yuanzhi made another face and ran happily to find Ning Zhiyi and Mu.

"Mom, sit here and take a rest. I'll push my sister."

"Okay, sister, you are a girl, so you can't push too high, Yuanzhi, you have to be careful with your strength."

"Okay mother, I know, dear sister, I will push the swing for you next, haha, are you ready?"

Over the years of being siblings, he knew that Ning Zhiyi was a wild type when it came to playing on the swing, and Mu Shi didn't let him push it too high, which was a common mistake made by old mothers.

No matter how old a child is, he or she is still a child in the eyes of his or her parents, and naturally they do not want their children to try dangerous activities.

"I'm ready, brother, get ready to take off!"

Hearing the brother and sister's tacit understanding of each other's words, Mrs. Mu closed her eyes on her own initiative. That was a height that the old mother could not bear to see.

Knowing that her daughter would not be in danger as her husband and sons were there, Mu no longer spoke up to spoil the fun.

"Wow, I'm taking off!"

The height of the swing was really high, and Ning Shengan, the old father, couldn't bear to watch it. He stopped sparring with his eldest son and started to approach his youngest daughter.

Ning Yuanyi put down the Xiao in his hand and walked over. Only Ning Yuanting's hands were still moving.

The painting shows a family playing in the afternoon. Everyone has smiles on their faces, and with the warm sun hanging in the sky, the whole picture is very warm.

After playing for a while, Ning Zhiyi felt a little dizzy, so he got off the swing and went to Ning Shengan to ask curiously.

"Father, what did you say to the Emperor and Prince An in the study room of the other courtyard that day?"

"I've told you to lure the snake out of its hole, so use your smart brain to think about the rest." Ning Sheng'an didn't hide anything and said it directly, but he didn't go into too much detail.

Ning Zhiyi nodded thoughtfully. This snake must be referring to the villain hiding in the dark.

At present, everyone who should make a move on the chessboard has already done so, and the only thing left is to see who has the better move.

Ning Yuanze hesitated a little and looked at Ning Shengan, "Father, have you heard Uncle Ning mention the rumors about the market these past two days?"

"Let's go to the study and talk."

When she was in the back house, Mu never worried about the affairs of the previous dynasty, and said to Ning Zhiyi:

"Zhiyi, did you say this morning that you wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs? Mom will prepare the ingredients and make it for you tonight."

"Okay, mother is the best!"

He acted like a spoiled child around Mu and gave her a big kiss.

"Fourth brother, Dad and the other brothers have gone to the study, how about we go to the market?"

"Let's go."

These days, the brothers all wanted to stay with their parents, and tried not to leave the house if possible. He really didn't know what new rumors there were in the market.

The brother and sister got on the carriage. After the carriage had been moving for less than half a quarter of an hour, they heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

"Ning Yuanzhi! Sister Zhiyi!"

Ning Zhiyi opened the car curtain first, "Brother Du, what a coincidence, you are out to play too?"

Du Shaofeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "What a coincidence! I came here specially to see you guys."

The coachman slowed down, Du Shaofeng handed the horse to the servant, and jumped into the Ning Mansion's carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he drank three bowls of tea in a row.

He said angrily, "I'm so mad, have you not been out these days?"

Ning Yuanzhi poured him another glass of water. "We have been staying in the mansion these days and have not gone out. What's going on? Is there any rumor in the market?"

"That's right. There is a ridiculous rumor spreading in the market that defames General Ning. It's said... never mind, I can't say it. You can go and listen for yourself. I was so angry just now that I smashed a storyteller's stall."

"But I heard from Lai Cai that most of the storytelling places in Beijing are talking about this matter, and there is no way to stop them all!"

[Tong'er, what's going on? ]

[Someone is spreading rumors to discredit your father, saying that he and his wife died in battle because of a mistake in the battle plan. Although they won the war, they also paid a heavy price, so they said that there was a major mistake in command.]

[The two men died in battle not to buy time for the soldiers to evacuate, but because they committed suicide out of fear of punishment! ]

What people in the community said was much more unpleasant than this, and the systems only said a few brief words to each other.

Ning Yuanzhi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

[This group of idiots who just follow the crowd and have no opinion of their own! ]

System: [Host, don't be angry. The people behind the scenes just want to irritate you. Some time ago, we confronted Lu Mao, Bai Yaoyao, Su Yunyu and others, and they held a grudge afterwards. This incident is revenge from them.]

[The latest news is that the King of Zhenbei has begun to take his place. He was also responsible for this incident. He wanted to use the slander against my parents to increase his influence. What they want is for you to be cautious. If you dare to do anything extreme, it means that the Ning Mansion is guilty.]

Ning Zhiyi pulled out a mace from his waist, and with a thought, the mace immediately turned into combat state.

[This is a blatant conspiracy. Since they want to play like this, I will just flip the table over and let everyone go off the table and play.]

“Go to the biggest storytelling spot!”

"It's Miss!"

"Brother Du, how many storytelling spots are there to discuss this matter?"

"It's hard to say. I know of more than a dozen, and I don't know how many there are."

Ning Zhiyi nodded and exhaled, "Okay, I understand. Fourth brother, let Jinbao call all the servants in the mansion over, take my token, and go to the An Mansion, Xiong Mansion, Prince An Mansion, Second Prince Mansion, Princess Mansion, Shen Mansion, and Mo Mansion to borrow some people. Fourth brother, today we brothers and sisters are going to overturn the table!"

If they were playing tricks, then she would confront them head-on with her open schemes!

With the help of the system, she will never wrongly accuse anyone, and will never let anyone go!

The largest restaurant in the city center was unusually popular today. The first and second floors were packed, and even the temporarily added seats were full.

The storyteller on the stand was spitting all over the place as he spoke, and he looked as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"You all don't know, a general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of lives. General Ning has a very high reputation in the army. Of course, his reputation among the people is even higher, but think about it, all of his reputation was built with human lives!"

"If one soldier is cowardly, the whole army will be cowardly. Without a good leader, it will only cause unnecessary casualties among the soldiers. Looking back at the wars in the dynasty over the years, the soldiers under General Ning died the most in every war. The piles of corpses were as high as a hill."

"General Ning has gone crazy for the so-called military merit. I don't even know whose sons and husbands these poor soldiers are. They are so pitiful."

"But the King of Zhenbei is different. His Majesty is wise and brave, and the number of casualties among his soldiers is not high. This is the hero we should respect!"

Some people thought carefully about the number of casualties in the wars over the years and actually nodded in agreement.

"That's right. It's true that the most deaths were among those under General Ning's command."

"Oh, that's right. My aunt's cousin's cousin's wife's brother followed General Ning to the battlefield and died. Even his body was not found. The poor little child lost his father at an early age."

Once someone started something, others followed suit. However, some of these people were hiding in the crowd and trying to lead the trend, while others were ignorant of the truth and had weak wills. They did not know the truth of the matter.

But when I heard people around me say this, I felt that this was the truth of the matter.

Some people are ignorant, while others are not easily misled by others.

"Nonsense, complete nonsense!"

"This is pure bullshit. You old man, you don't know the truth of the matter at all. How can you make up such lies? Do you know that the army led by General Ning is the main force directly confronting the enemy? Casualties are inevitable!"

Generally, those who can understand the situation on the battlefield are mostly military generals. Their words are a little rough, but their logic is sound. In the past few days, many military generals have come to cause trouble, and the storyteller has already prepared words to respond.

"Humph, you are all General Ning's subordinates, right? You are all leaders, and you are the ones who drank the meat soup with General Ning, so you will naturally speak in General Ning's favor."

"Everyone, don't believe what they say. They are here just to clear General Ning's name!"

"This group of blood-sucking people came to this world by stepping on the corpses of countless soldiers!"

After hearing what the storyteller said, the people who had originally remained neutral immediately glared at these people, and some irrational people were ready to take action.

Those who came down from the battlefield were all rough people who were not good at arguing. Although they tried their best to explain, they were still defeated by the people around them and soon they were pushed into a corner by the angry crowd.

"To avenge the dead soldiers, even if General Ning and his wife committed suicide out of fear of punishment, there are still a few young men in the Ning Mansion. We must not let these parasites go. Please follow me, all righteous people, and we will seek justice for the soldiers together!"

The insider hidden in the crowd saw that the time had come, came out, raised his arms and shouted, and led everyone to Ning Mansion to cause trouble.

Led by these people, a large group of people slowly walked out of the restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was so happy that his mouth was almost stretched to his ears. He definitely exceeded the task assigned by his master.

"Hurry up and invite the next group of people in. This wonderful story needs more people to come and listen to it!"

"Boss, are you still talking about this today? It's not right for us to slander General Ning like this. After all, he is a hero who sacrificed his life for his country."

The storyteller paid close attention to the soldiers on the front line, and naturally understood that each casualty had nothing to do with General Ning. He said that just to arouse public anger.

Originally we only had three storytelling sessions a day, so why are we adding an extra one today?

He sighed, the silver was too hot to handle, but he had already boarded the pirate ship and had no choice.

The shopkeeper sneered and patted the storyteller on the face. "Why, now you feel guilty? Have you forgotten how you tried so hard to discredit General Ning on stage? I'll give you another fifty taels. Speak to me properly today!"

Throwing a banknote in the storyteller's face, the shopkeeper was very arrogant and deliberately asked:

"Now, do you still have any questions?"

The storyteller swallowed his saliva, his eyes fixed on the silver note on the ground. There were fifty taels of silver in total, which was his income for several years!

A glimmer of greed flashed across his eyes, and in the end, greed prevailed. He used his hands and feet to pick up the banknotes and stuffed them into his arms.
