Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 29 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Ning Zhiwei looked at everyone and raised an eyebrow, "Who is willing to share my worries?"

"I'm willing." A middle-aged man stepped out, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a simple and honest face.

He got a carrying pole from somewhere and hit Qiao hard without showing any mercy.

Qiao reacted very quickly and hid behind Ding Youliang. Ding Youliang was hit hard and saw stars, but he still protected Qiao.

The middle-aged man frowned and signaled others to help. Several men dragged Ding Youliang away and pressed Qiao to the ground.

Qiao struggled desperately and finally realized that Ning Zhiwei was not a soft-hearted and thin-skinned girl, and it was a daydream to try to control her.

"Don't touch me, let me go, help me."

When the carrying pole hit Qiao's back, she screamed in pain. Ding Youliang felt so distressed that he wanted to rush over to protect her, but he was held back and couldn't break through the obstruction.

He started swearing loudly and using very dirty language. Everyone present was scolded by him, and even Ning Zhiwei was not spared.

He also took his anger out on Ding Zhuangtou, "Father, don't just stand there, go and help."

Ding Zhuang looked as if he had been greatly shocked. His eyes were wide open and he ignored what his son said.

Ding Youliang had nowhere to turn to, so he could only hold back his anger for the time being, "Please, Master, please spare Qiao. I am willing to work like a slave for you."

He did have deep feelings for Qiao, but unfortunately, he was a disloyal, unkind and unfilial person.

This aggrieved tone made Ning Zhiwei laugh.

"The entire Villa has people at my disposal, and you are the only one left?"

We must build the villa into a base camp that can be used for attack or defense, and we will never let a bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

She looked at Ning Si beside her, "Ning Peilan, are you willing to share my worries?"

Ning Peilan was a little nervous when she was called by her full name. "Of course I am willing."

Ning Zhiwei nodded slightly, "Very good, from now on, you are the head of Qingluo Villa, responsible for all affairs of the villa."

The sudden appointment shocked everyone, and Ning Peilan couldn't believe it. "Ah, I'm afraid I can't do it well."

She was just a girl in the boudoir who only knew needlework and housekeeping, and had no idea about farming.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Ning Zhiwei was determined to take control of everything in his own hands. In an era of collective responsibility, blood-related relatives were the best choice.

Brothers fighting tigers, father and son go into battle.

The crackling sound continued, and Qiao fainted after just a few hits, no longer having the arrogance he had just now.

"That's enough." Ning Zhiwei gave an order and everyone stopped.

She looked at the first man who stepped forward. "What's your name?"

"I have a lot of money and have been a servant of the Ning family for generations." He is very good at reading people's expressions and also very good at expressing himself.

Ning Zhiwei's mind flashed with information about this person: Qian Duoduo. He had been a classmate of Ding Youliang since childhood. He had a good reputation for being righteous and smart. However, he overshadowed Ding Youliang, which made the Ding family unhappy and he was suppressed by the Ding family.

No wonder he jumped out to beat the man when he was down.

She is not afraid of smart and capable subordinates, but she is afraid of fools who act on their own.

As long as he could carry out her instructions perfectly, nothing else mattered.

"From now on, you are the deputy head of Qingluo Villa and will report directly to the head of the villa."

Promote the people first, and then replace them if it doesn't work. Qingluo Farm doesn't have much else, but it has the most people, so she can always cultivate a group of confidants to serve her.

Everyone's eyes were red with envy, but Ding Zhuangtou's heart was chilled and filled with despair.

Qian Duoduo was overjoyed. He fell to his knees with a plop and kowtowed. "Thank you, Master. From now on, I will be loyal to you and follow your lead."

He expressed his loyalty directly, without any distinction between men and women, and did not think it was shameful to listen to a woman. This alone made him better than Ding Youliang.

"Take a few people with you to search the Qiao family."

This is the first task, Qian Duoduo said excitedly that he would complete it perfectly and would not be greedy for a penny.

Ning Zhiwei only felt her clothes being pulled twice. She looked down and saw Ning Liu, who looked unhappy.

"Fifth sister, why do you only let Fourth sister help you? How am I not as good as her?"

Ning Peilan was still hesitant at first, but when she saw her sixth sister fighting for it, she immediately felt that she could do it.

Isn't it just planting crops? She learns!

Ning Zhiwei patted Ning Liu's hand and comforted him softly, "You follow and study first. I have more important things to give you."

Ning Wuhua's eyes lit up, "Okay."

She easily believed Ning Zhiwei's words and couldn't wait to show off.

Ning Zhiwei did not kill anyone, but sent Ding and Qiao's families to the government to leave it to them to decide their fate.

According to the law, slaves who rebelled against their masters were guilty of a serious crime, especially when so many people were involved.

The government directly ruled that the confiscated property of the two families would be returned to their original owners, the Qiao family and Ding Youliang involved in the case were sentenced to immediate execution, and Ding Zhuangtou and other family members were exiled 3,000 miles away.

This move of killing the chicken to scare the monkey made all parties quiet down, and no one dared to underestimate the new head of the family who was decisive and ruthless.

Although she is young, she is not lacking in character and means.

Although she is a woman, she is as ruthless and cruel as a man, which makes people have to admire her.

Ning Zhiwei took the opportunity to push Ning Si and Ning Liu forward, letting them learn and practice their skills so that they would be able to stand on their own in time.

Madam Ning is in charge of the household affairs, while the other sisters-in-law are in charge of their own affairs and perform their own duties.

As for Young Madam Ning's generation, they are responsible for raising the children and taking care of Old Madam Ning.

Everyone has something to do, and there is less sadness about autumn and spring.

Her main goal is not to keep a single idler.

The wind blows gently, and golden waves of wheat roll in the fields, making people intoxicated in the sunshine.

In the sky, the sunset glows golden, the blue sky, white clouds, wheat waves, green mountains, everything is so beautiful.

The evening breeze blew gently, the air was very fresh, and the Ning Zhiwei sisters walked hand in hand in the fields, enjoying a rare leisure time.

Ning Zhiwei took a deep breath, and his restless heart slowly settled down, feeling an unprecedented peace.

"Fourth sister, can you be self-sufficient?"

Ning Liu quietly pushed the fourth sister aside and took Ning Zhiwei's arm affectionately, "Yes, we used to have vegetables and fruits all year round, and pork, mutton, goose, fish, eggs, etc., which were sent to the capital and eaten up by our family. There was still a surplus at the end of the year, but that couple secretly embezzled most of it. Their appetites kept getting bigger and bigger, and they treated our Qingluo Villa as their own."

"Of course, we also failed to supervise properly. Fifth sister, you should teach me more in the future."

Ning Si looked at his sixth sister who was vying for favor and pulled her away in annoyance. Has she forgotten how he excluded her before?

"I have calculated carefully that I can make about five thousand taels of profit every year. Once I have learned everything, I will re-plan and try to double it."

She tried hard to learn farming skills from the peasant women, such as when to plant what vegetables, when to plant what fruit trees, and which crops had the highest economic benefits.

The more she learned, the more she felt that this was a science.

Ning Liu, unwilling to be outdone, hugged Ning Zhiwei's other arm and rolled his eyes at his fourth sister as if to protest, "Brother, don't talk about the second brother. We are almost the same."

"Fifth sister, do you have any ideas? I can help you. I can probably do it. I can do anything."

Ning Si couldn't help but joked, "Who blew up the kitchen?"

Ning Liu's face turned red with embarrassment. "I just wanted to make a nourishing soup for my fifth sister. Who knew that the pot would be so ignorant?"

Ning Si: ...

Ning Zhi smiled and watched the two sisters bickering. It was great that they were still alive.

At this moment, a servant came running in, "Master, the eldest lady asks you to go to the hall quickly. Something big has happened."
