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

Three days passed very peacefully. Ning Zhiyi was bored at home when Ning Yuanyi came over dressed in a flashy red dress.

"Come on, Third Brother will take you to the temple to listen to the master's lecture."

This was a habit Ning Yuanyi developed after the death of General Ning and his wife. No one knew what wish he made in front of the Buddha, but they only knew that he went there every month, rain or shine.

"Third brother, where have you been these days? I haven't seen you at home."

Ning Yuanyi raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "Of course I have something important to do. I am not like some people who do irrelevant things all day long."

"Humph, why are you making personal attacks again? I'm so angry!"

The little girl crossed her arms over her chest, turned away angrily, and refused to speak again.

"Hey! Are you really angry?" Ning Yuanyi held the handle of the fan with his slender and broad hands and gently poked the little girl's shoulder. He was worried that she wouldn't really do it.

His mouth is like that, it's not intentional.

"Then if you take me out to play tomorrow, I won't be angry."

Of course he wasn't angry. Ning Zhiyi was just teasing him on purpose. It was because his third brother was becoming less and less willing to get close to him.

"Tsk, no, if it wasn't for my brother's request today, I wouldn't take you out."

"Then I don't care. I just know that it was Third Brother who took me out today. If you don't agree to me, I will complain to Big Brother and say that you bullied me."

"Childish." Although Ning Yuanyi looked impatient, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Ning Zhiyi smiled ingratiatingly. She was not being unreasonable. She just noticed that her third brother was becoming increasingly distant from her and wanted to do her best to mend their family ties.

She still doesn't dare to ask the system whether she did anything to hurt her brothers when she was controlled by the plot. Well, she should deal with the matter of the Flower Thief and Zheng Wangyan first, and then ask the system.

She must stand at attention when being beaten. If she really did something to hurt her brothers, she would be beaten or punished without hesitation.

I just felt depressed and had a stabbing pain in my heart.

Try to ignore the pain in your heart and divert your attention. [System, is there anything new to reveal? ]

System response: [Yes, the princess has captured Xu Shen and is torturing him now.]

[Xu Shen's tendons in his hands and feet were all torn, and the princess personally watched as she pulled out his nails.]

Ning Yuanyi's lazy expression changed and he subconsciously touched his chest. Afraid of missing any information, he brought paper and pen with him so that he could find a chance to write it down quietly.

[System, please explain in more detail. It has taken us so long to get here. Please speak slowly.]

The story began the day before yesterday, when Dashan suddenly stopped Xu Shen on his way home.

"Go to the study and put away my calligraphy and paintings." Xu Shen sent the servant away with a cold face and took the man to a remote corner.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Dashan looked at the elegant and handsome man in front of him. If his memory could not deceive him, he really couldn't believe that this man was his father!

He and his younger brother Xiaoshan look like their mother. Their faces can only be described as delicate, not handsome at all.

"Dad, I want to get married, and you're just going to watch Mom find those vulgar women for me?"

"I don't want to marry those lowly women. Can you marry me a lady from an official family?"

Xu Shen's eyebrows were gloomy, and his expression showed no concern for his son. He scolded, "Shut up! How can I marry you a lady from an official family? Don't you consider your own status?"

"My status? Dad, you can marry a princess, why can't I marry a girl from an official family?" Dashan said sarcastically, "If you hadn't abandoned the three of us for Princess Shang, I would never have abandoned my studies!"

"Do you know how much hardship mother and I went through to find you in Beijing? In order to fill our stomachs, mother and I worked day and night to help people wash clothes and empty chamber pots. We thought we would have a good life after finding you, but in the end, we found a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children!"

"Shut up!" He slapped her with all his strength. "Do you want to die? Don't think that I won't kill you just because you're my son. If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being cruel!"

The man's brows were furrowed, his eyes were full of ferocity and murderous intent. Although Dashan did not look like Xu Shen, his sinister and vicious temperament was exactly the same.

After being beaten, Dashan not only did not calm down, but became even crazier. "I won't. Why can you live a life of luxury while we are just lowly servants who are ordered around by others? This is not fair!"

"You are my father! My biological father, but have you ever taken care of me and my brother in these years? Never. Not to mention taking care of me in public, you haven't even taken care of me in secret. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Xu Shen, you are more cruel than a tiger!"

Xu Shen suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes and did not want to get involved with him anymore. "If I hadn't cared about you, you would have been hacked to death by the debt collectors from the gambling house!"

"Your marriage is arranged by your mother, so don't come to me if you don't have anything else!"

A few days ago, Feng Niang asked him to meet her at the rockery because she wanted him to find a good marriage for Dashan, but they were almost discovered, so he didn't dare to take the risk now.

The eldest son was smart when he was young, but since he neglected his studies, he got addicted to gambling. He is a useless chess piece and it is not worth planning for his future.

His second son, who is studious and ambitious, is his hope.

"It seems that my original decision was right. If I hadn't strangled your child with the princess, you would have no place for me and my brother in your heart!"

"You would not dare to treat the princess's child like you did to me, haha. If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"

"Do you think you can still keep your current wealth and glory if I tell the princess about this?"

Xu Shen turned around suddenly, his face ferocious, like a wild beast ready to devour anyone at any time.

But Dashan was not afraid at all, and the look in his eyes became more and more crazy, "Haha, if you don't let me live well, then you can't live well on your own either!"

"Who allowed you to mention that child, you beast!" Xu Shen felt extremely sad when he mentioned the child who was killed by his eldest son.

If that child were still alive, my position would definitely be more secure!

"Have you taken Wu Shi San?" Xu Shen stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and asked harshly.

Although the eldest son is a bastard, he would never dare to offend me repeatedly.

"Yes, I just discovered this good thing, but it's too expensive. Hurry up and give me a few hundred taels of silver, otherwise... don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son."

"You don't allow me to mention that child. Why, are you afraid?"

"Haha, you are scared now, but it's too late. After I killed that child, thanks to you, Dad, for cleaning my ass. What do you think the princess would do if she knew about this?"

"Crack." The sound of branches being crushed was heard.

"who!"

Xu Shen rushed towards the direction where the sound came from.
