Everyone sat down and talked about their feelings of separation. There were so many things to talk about that they couldn't stop.

Ning Zhiwei talked a lot about things on the battlefield. Ning Qishao listened very attentively, but he couldn't sit still for long, so he went back to rest after listening to what happened on the battlefield.

The Seventh Young Master's wife did not leave. She kept staring at Ning Zhiwei, and no one knew what she was thinking.

One quarter of the women in the Ning family take care of the children at home, one quarter take care of the housework and the Ning family's businesses, one quarter are in charge of the operation of the orphanage, and one quarter are in charge of the youth school, each with their own responsibilities.

Only Mrs. Ning was old and enjoying her grandchildren, while Mrs. Ning Qishao was concentrating on taking care of her injured husband.

Zhou Hongye is in charge of the city affairs and military logistics in the rear area, Ning Wenyin and Ning Liu are in charge of several caravans under Ning Zhiwei's name, and Ning Si takes over several farms under Ning Zhiwei's name. Everyone is busy every day, so how can they have time to feel sad about the passing of time?

Listening to Ning Zhiwei's sharing of this year's experience, everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This year has been so difficult. I'm back to take a good rest and adjust myself this time."

Madam Ning smiled and said, "Xiaowu, I have cleaned your Zhaixing Tower. The quilts and sheets are all new. I have also prepared a small kitchen. If you need anything, just let me know."

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly, "Thank you for your care, Madam. However, I live in the government office at the back, which is convenient for me to work. It's a rare opportunity for me to come back, and I have too many official business to deal with."

Now, Zhou Hongye is alone there.

Madam Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Is that so? I'll have someone arrange the arrangements."

Ning Zhiwei always likes to plan ahead, "No need, I've already sent someone over."

Madam Ning knew that she was a strong person, so she would listen to whoever was stronger. It was nothing. "What about Lord Rong?"

Rong Jing smiled slightly, "Wherever Zhiwei is, I will be there."

Madam Ning was stunned for a moment, and could not help but advise, "You haven't gotten married yet, so you should avoid suspicion."

She meant well and everyone could understand that.

Unexpectedly, the Seventh Young Master’s wife said, “Why are you avoiding her? She’s been hanging out with men all day, and she’s lost her good reputation…”

Madam Ning's face changed, "Little Seven's wife."

Before she could finish her words, the Seventh Young Master's wife was grabbed by the guards and slapped twice, "Pa pa."

It happened so fast that everyone was shocked. They started fighting over a disagreement?

The Seventh Young Master's wife reacted and covered her burning face with anger, "How dare you hit me? Huh? Come on, take this traitor out and beat him to death."

The servants in the house looked at each other and did not move. This was Ning Zhiwei's confidant.

The Seventh Young Master's wife was furious. "What are you standing there for? Do something."

However, no one dared to move.

The Seventh Young Lady was shaking with anger, "Ning Zhiwei, you just watched your men humiliate me? I'm your sister-in-law!"

Ning Zhiwei played with the teacup, her eyes were extremely cold, "Sister-in-law? I thought she was an enemy. Which sister-in-law doesn't speak human language?"

The Seventh Young Master's wife was slapped twice. She lost all her rationality, her face flushed and she yelled loudly, "What did I say wrong? You are a girl who hangs around in the military camp all day. Your reputation has long been bad. You can do it, but you don't allow others to say it?"

Ning Liu couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "What the hell are you talking about? If it weren't for the fifth sister who stepped forward, you would have died hundreds of times. The fact that you can sit here and eat peacefully is because she fought to the death on the battlefield, you ungrateful bastard."

Ning Si was also very angry. Although he had known that the Seventh Young Master's wife had her own little thoughts, it was really chilling to see them exposed so quickly.

"You depend on others for your survival, and yet you complain about their bad reputation. This is a heartless person with no sense of shame."

Ning Wenyin's tragic experience made her hate people like the Seventh Young Master's wife. "How can leading an army to fight a war be considered bad reputation? People with a heart of heart will see everything as dirty. You eat someone's food, but you smash their pot. Who gave you this face?"

The Seventh Young Master's wife cursed angrily, "You are just sycophants who only know how to flatter her. I look down on you."

Ning Zhiwei had a calm expression, showing no emotion, "Old Madam, how should we punish those who are rude to the head of the family?"

She simply disdained a war of words, and whenever she struck, she would just take advantage of the weak spot and attack with thunder.

She is the head of the Ning family. As long as Mrs. Ning Qishao is a member of the Ning family, she has to obey her will.

Madam Ning's heart trembled, and she was silent for a long time. "Ten strokes of the cane."

Ning Zhiwei's eyebrows were extremely indifferent, "Drag him out and beat him."

The guards pounced on her like wolves and tigers. Madam Ning Qishao's face changed drastically. "I am the wife of a great general appointed by the court. You can't do this to me. Let me go, let me go."

"Ning Zhiwei, if you dare to touch me, I won't let you go."

Ning Zhiwei looked at her coldly. She was obviously not that kind of person when they first met. How long has it been?

People's hearts are changeable.

"Just you? You won't be able to reach me in your next life."

The Seventh Young Master's wife was dragged out, and soon a shrill scream was heard, "Ahhhhh."

The women showed expressions of pity on their faces. If these ten strokes were given, someone would die.

Madam Ning Si Shao pleaded in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, she is indeed ignorant and can't speak, but for Xiao Qi's sake, please forgive her this time."

Ning Zhiwei took a sip of tea and said, "I am doing this for her own good. I want her to learn a lesson and to learn what to say and what not to say, so that she won't cause a disaster that will wipe out her entire family and affect everyone."

Since she said so, it was difficult for others to plead for mercy and they exchanged glances with each other.

A sharp voice came from outside, "Stop."

Mrs. Ning Qi, who was beaten to death, was overjoyed. Her savior had come. "Eunuch, save me."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes slightly, it was becoming more and more interesting, so he decided to go and see what was going on.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict looked at the woman who was being held down and executed, and his face was not good. "Why don't you let go of the general's wife?"

Who knows him? The execution continued, one after another, slapping the eunuch in the face, "What? My words don't work?"

A cold voice sounded, "The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. The palace does not need to worry about our Ning family's affairs."

The eunuch who delivered the decree was arrogant, "Princess Jingning, on behalf of the emperor, I order you to release the general's wife, apologize to her, and ask her to forgive you."

Did the two of them form an alliance? Did this woman surrender to the palace? Ning Zhiwei didn't even blink, "Keep fighting."

The eunuch who delivered the imperial edict could not help but get angry, "Ning Zhiwei, are you planning a rebellion?"

He just said it out of anger, but Ning Zhiwei replied lightly, "It's a rebellion, so what?"

The whole place was silent, everyone looked at her in disbelief, what was she talking about?
