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

No one knew how much time had passed, but to the people being beaten, it seemed like time had passed incomparably longer.

By the time they limped out of the Ning Mansion, it was already dark. Men and women, young and old, all had varying degrees of external injuries on their faces and bodies, and they all looked extremely miserable.

But what was strange was that although there were quite a few people in the group, there was no noise, and they didn't even complain or curse to try to save their reputation.

At the moment when they were about to step out of the Ning Mansion's gate, the oldest and most senior old man turned around and swept his cloudy eyes across everyone's faces.

He said in a deep voice:

"Everyone must keep today's events to themselves. After returning home today, do not go out again until your injuries are healed."

"If today's events were to get out, humph!"

Everyone looked at each other, and naturally understood the old man's intention.

There are smart ones and there are stupid ones. The woman with the most swollen face was the first to quit and cried out in a shrill voice:

"No, we can't just get beaten up for nothing. I absolutely won't do that. There are so many of us, and we are Ning Shengan's elders. Let's go to the emperor and file a complaint. I don't believe that we can't punish Ning Shengan!"

The woman's face was distorted as she said these words indignantly. The tear at the corner of her lip became more serious and she grimaced in pain.

The oldest old man had a gloomy face and looked at the woman coldly without saying a word. The woman felt uneasy and opened her mouth to say something.

But the older man turned his gaze away and looked at her husband. The woman just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment she was slapped in the face again.

Then came the man's scolding, "You're just showing off your ability. I'm telling you, don't let a single word of this leak out to anyone. If you dare to say even one more word, I'll divorce you!"

The woman covered her face and dared not say anything, her eyes full of grievance and confusion.

The other women were not stupid and saw things more clearly than her. After killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, they naturally would not behave in any other way.

Not only did he not say anything about leaking the secret, but he also said:

"We all understand the interests involved and will not reveal a single word."

Seeing that the others were sensible, the old man nodded slightly and walked out of the mansion step by step. The moment he stepped out of the Ning Mansion's gate, he quickly lowered his head and stepped onto the carriage. The carriage left without stopping at all.

The same was true for everyone else, as if there were man-eating beasts lurking in the Ning Mansion, and each of them wished they had eight legs.

In the Ning Mansion, Ning Dalang reported everything that happened at the gate of the mansion.

Ning Shengan nodded. Everything was within his expectations.

"Well, these people are not good people. When they encounter temptation, they will seek some excitement. Send someone to keep a close eye on them. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately!"

"Yes, little one understands."

After arranging other things, Ning Shengan stood up and prepared to look for Ning Zhiyi and her daughter, but was stopped by a servant who came hurriedly to report.

"Sir, His Majesty invites you."

Ning Zhiyi, Mu Shi and Ning Yuanyi entered the palace with Ning Shengan. Emperor Mu Wu held another banquet. This time he did not invite too many people. Only people from the Ning Mansion and the Queen, the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Second Prince's wife and the Sixth Prince were present.

"Huaiyuan, we won't go home until we are drunk today!"

Emperor Mu Wu was very happy to receive many "unexpected surprises", especially when he learned that these "unexpected surprises" were seized from the enemy, he was even happier.
