Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

After the wedding date was set, the eldest lady of the Ning family began to prepare for the wedding and was busy every day.

This is a double marriage granted by the late emperor. She is also the legal wife and cannot be neglected.

This is also the Ning family's first happy event after the mourning period, and the first large-scale social event after returning to the social circle, so no mistakes can be made.

Ning Wenyin came over and said, "Mother."

Madam Ning looked at her beloved daughter lovingly, "Why are you here?"

Ning Wenyin handed over a few boxes of things with a smile, "I just got a few boxes of blood swallows, and I brought them for you to try. Drink one every day, it's very good for your health."

After arriving at the border, the material conditions cannot be compared with those in the capital, and things like this cannot be bought.

"Where did it come from?" Madam Ning was a little surprised. The quality of this blood swallow was very high and it was truly a rare treasure.

Ning Wenyin blushed, and Madam Ning realized what was happening. She was a little surprised. "Is it from Mr. Zhou? When did he come to propose marriage?"

She has always been worried about her daughter's lifelong affairs. If a woman marries the wrong person, it will be a lifelong disaster. Fortunately, Wen Yin is lucky and has a second chance.

Ning Wenyin said shyly, "Wait until my seventh brother's wedding is done."

Madam Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, I'm relieved that you'll have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."

She didn't ask for her daughter to be rich and powerful, she just wanted a stable life and to meet a good man.

Mr. Zhou is good in every way, except that he is too good.

"It's just that you, don't be too obsessed with love and think more about yourself."

She said it in a subtle way, but Ning Wenyin understood it. "Mom, don't worry, I know what's going on. Besides, I have a fifth sister."

Madam Ning felt completely relieved when she heard this. That's right, Ning Zhiwei was their biggest backer.

Even if her beauty fades and her love wanes in the future, as long as Ning Zhiwei is around, no one will dare to neglect Ning Wenyin.

"That child has been without a father or mother since childhood, and doesn't have any close elders. You are sisters, so you should visit each other more often and take care of each other in life."

She knew very well that although Ning Zhiwei was very respectful to the women, in fact, he had no weight in her heart and was not even as important as Mr. Zhou.

Ning Wenyin smiled slightly, "I know, she is my savior, I will never forget this kindness."

She still remembered the helping hand Ning Zhiwei extended to her when she was dying, which warmed her desperate and cold heart.

"Mom, you don't look well. Take some time to rest and don't tire yourself out."

Madam Ning smiled bitterly, "In the capital, we had to plan the wedding at least a month in advance. How could these few days be enough? Madam...actually, I attach great importance to this marriage."

At this moment, a servant came in and reported, "Madam, the Seventh Young Master's wife has gone on a hunger strike."

Madam Ning is having a headache. She was crying, making a fuss, and smashing things in the past two days, and now she is on a hunger strike.

"Let the Seventh Young Master go and persuade them."

The servant reported cautiously, "We went there, but it was useless. Several ladies took turns to persuade him, but it didn't work."

Ning Wenyin frowned slightly and stood up, "Mother, I'll go take a look."

Madam Ning held her back and said, "Don't go. This is your sister-in-law's affair. It's not your turn as a married aunt to take care of it. She is... easy to think wrongly. Don't let her hate you."

This made sense, and Ning Wenyin had no choice but to mention it when she saw Ning Zhiwei.

Ning Zhiwei lowered her eyes, as if she didn't hear anything. Ning Wenyin didn't say anything more when she saw this.

Rong Jing walked in quickly, "Zhiwei, there are new developments in the capital."

Hearing his tone was wrong, Ning Zhiwei's heart tightened, "What's wrong?"

Rong Jing glanced at Ning Wenyin, and Ning Wenyin immediately found an excuse to leave.

Rong Jing then said, "The emperor suddenly fell into a coma..."

"Comatose?" Ning Zhiwei couldn't believe it. "Why would he be in a coma?"

If he falls into a coma at this critical moment and the new king has no children, it will be a huge trouble.

Rong Jing looked a little strange, "What happened in Concubine Xian's palace was said to be poisoning."

Ning Zhiwei groaned for a while, "The virtuous concubine is the daughter of Marquis Jingping, right?"

"Yes, Jingping Marquis is also a founding marquisate, guarding the southeast coast."

The southeast is where Su Mingjin is based in Dingguo, and it is also the territory he seized after defeating Marquis Jingping. The two sides are still fighting.

“That’s interesting.”

Rong Jing smiled meaningfully, "What's even more interesting is that the concubine of Marquis Jingping became Su Mingjin's concubine."

Ning Zhiwei: ...

"Even in such a situation, why is the new emperor still going to the palace of Concubine Xian?"

In her impression, the new emperor was still a little kid. She was quite shocked that he took in so many concubines all of a sudden in order to consolidate his imperial power.

Although Rong Jing was in the northwest, he was aware of what was going on in the world. "The virtuous concubine was the legitimate daughter who was detained in the capital, and the noble concubine was the favored concubine's daughter who grew up with the Marquis of Jingping. The legitimate and concubine daughters were naturally opposed, and it was said that the virtuous concubine was very good at coaxing people."

Ning Zhiwei tapped the table lightly, his mind racing, "Is the chance of him waking up high?"

Rong Jing rubbed his brows and said, "It's hard to say. The news is still under surveillance and only a few important officials know about it."

The two looked at each other and exchanged glances. Ning Zhiwei chuckled and said, "Leaking it to all parties will make the mess even more muddy."

The more muddy the water is, the less likely they will be targeted. Let them fight it out first.

"Okay, let's do it." Rong Jing picked up the tea and took a sip. "The court holds the name of legitimacy. The Ning family has been loyal for generations and has sworn a solemn oath to be loyal to the royal family. Therefore, we cannot openly oppose the court, but we can start an uprising under the banner of revenge for the new emperor."

By then, the new emperor was already a dead man.

"We can't use the knife openly, so let's borrow the force and let others do the work."

The reason for starting an uprising is too important to convince the people.

The reason that the Ning family generals died unjustly is not enough. If the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die. What's more, the late emperor has already rehabilitated the Ning family and posthumously conferred titles on the generals who died in battle.

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly, "Yes, the Ning family's reputation for loyalty and righteousness is too deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is an honor, but also a shackle."

Therefore, we can only add fuel to the fire and let others do it faster.

The two were busy with the layout until late at night. Just when Ning Zhiwei put down his brush and prepared to rest, a servant ran in and said, "Master, the Seventh Young Master's wife wants to see you. Please come over."

Ning Zhiwei paused and said, "Say I'm asleep."

The servant looked anxious, "She said that if you don't go, she will go to the ancestral hall and commit suicide."

Ning Zhiwei sneered. No one dared to threaten her yet. "Did Madam Wu go there during the day?"

"Yes, everyone has tried to persuade them."

Ning Zhiwei drank a cup of tea, washed his face, and woke up completely. "Go, call all the Ning family members over. Let the children wake up. If they sleep too late, they won't grow tall."

Being biased also has the justification to do so.

Ning Zhiwei's order made everyone in chaos.

It was already late at night, and Madam Ning was awakened by a maid while she was sleeping soundly. She was startled and asked, "What happened?"

The maid looked uneasy, "The head of the family has ordered everyone to gather at the ancestral hall."

Ancestral hall? Madam Ning was completely shocked and woke up. "Now?"

"Yes."

Old Madam Ning’s face turned pale. Something big was about to happen!
