They were all arrested at once and sent to jail.

At the same time, an announcement was made to the world, and overnight, the reputation of Baihe Academy was ruined.

The punch was delivered so fast and so hard that Shang Yi's group was unable to defend themselves and the people behind the scenes had no time to react.

We lost in the first round, badly, and it also warned everyone.

Even if someone pretends to be a great scholar and uses ethics to justify his actions, this will be the outcome.

An inconspicuous large courtyard in the south city is filled with the city’s poor people.

One of the small rooms was emitting a foul odor. An old woman with white hair was lying on a narrow bed. She looked sick and was covered in dirt.

She held the hand of a woman in brocade clothes, boasted about the former glory of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and showed off that her granddaughter was the Princess of Jingning County.

The lady in brocade clothes was restless and felt uncomfortable all over, but she endured it, "Why hasn't your little grandson come back yet? Did he run away?"

She is the daughter-in-law of a branch of the Bai family, the richest family in Jiangnan. She followed the arrangement of the main branch and came here to meet an old woman.

The former lady of Dingyuan Marquis and grandmother of Jingning County Princess.

However, this old woman no longer looks like the noble lady she once was, instead she only looks destitute and miserable.

This place is so run-down that even dogs won't want to stay there.

The problem is, the owner of Jingning County is in the capital, but her closest family members are living in such poverty. This is unreasonable.

"How is that possible? He went to look for his biological sister. His biological sister Ning Zhiwei is going to be the empress. Jingyuan is her only biological brother. He can't escape the throne."

The old woman was complacent and immersed in joy, completely forgetting all the past grudges.

"When the time comes, I will let Jingyuan marry and have children. I will send a few more children to the palace and let Ning Zhiwei train them well. Maybe an heir will emerge."

The woman's eyebrows jumped, "You mean, there is a possibility of becoming the crown prince?"

The old woman said proudly, "Yes, Ning Zhiwei has been in the military camp for these years, and has had affairs with so many men. She has had several abortions and can no longer bear children. My Jingyuan gave her several children. It's a good thing for her. She should be grateful."

Her heart was filled with resentment towards Ning Zhiwei. If it weren't for her, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion would not have collapsed, her son would not have died, and she would not have been plagued by illness and lived in such a hellish place, lingering on and in danger of her death.

Upon hearing this, the woman became excited.

"My Shu'er is gentle and kind, beautiful and generous, and she is a perfect match for your Jingyuan. Why not settle this marriage as soon as possible?"

The old woman was arrogant and trembling, "We were a good match before, but now, my Jingyuan is a prince. Which woman in the world can be worthy of him?"

The woman thought about her future wealth and glory, so she had to try her best. "My family will give you 100,000 taels of silver as a dowry."

The old woman rolled her eyes and said, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver and a concubine's position."

"Old lady, you are going too far."

The old woman snorted coldly, "Even if your family is the richest in Jiangnan, they are just merchants. How can they compare to the daughter of a prince? I have already thought about it. The mistress of my Lin family must be of noble birth, prominent family background, gentle, sensible and filial."

She wants it all, but she has a sister who is about to become an empress.

If you don't hug your thighs now, when will you hug them? If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late.

The woman felt aggrieved, but she had to endure it. "Okay, I..."

"Bang." The door was slammed open.

The old woman was shocked. "Who dares to be so presumptuous... Jingyuan, what's wrong with you? Who dares to hit you?"

She was terrified when she saw her grandson covered in blood.

This is her only grandson, the one who will take care of her in her old age.

She glared at the soldiers, "Who are you? Do you know who my granddaughter is? I'll tell you and scare you to death. She's the Princess of Jingning County, Ning Zhiwei."

The soldier looked extremely cold. "Following the commander's order, send Lin Jingyuan and his grandson to the pseudo-Jiang Dynasty where Lin Jingshu is."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, "Jingshu is in Jiang Dynasty?"

The soldier stepped forward and pulled him, "Yes, I heard he's doing well, he's Su Mingjin's favorite, let's go quickly."

When the old woman thought about how she had once wanted to sell Lin Jingshu to the Bai family as a concubine, the two of them became enemies.

"No, no, I won't. Let Ning Zhiwei come to see me."

The soldiers all laughed. Who did she think she was to have the commander come to see her?

"My coach said, either get out or die, choose one."

The old woman didn't expect Ning Zhiwei to be so tough. Wasn't she afraid of public criticism? Did she not care about her reputation?

"If you have the guts, let Ning Zhiwei kill her grandmother with her own hands."

The soldier smiled slightly and punched Lin Jingyuan in the stomach. Lin Jingyuan screamed in pain, "Ah ...

Lin Jingyuan was beaten with twenty sticks, which shattered his wishful thinking.

"Grandma, let's go, leave now. Ning Zhiwei is a devil, and she still hates us. If we don't leave, she will kill us."

The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "She wouldn't dare to do that, unless she wants to be charged with parricide."

Seeing this, what else did the woman not understand? Ning Zhiwei did not recognize this marriage at all.

Yes, who would want to live under the rule of a tyrannical and overbearing elder?

"Why would she do anything? If she lets out even a hint that she doesn't like you, you won't live to see tomorrow. There are plenty of people willing to sacrifice your lives to please her."

The faces of the grandparents and grandchildren turned completely pale.

The soldier looked over and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said cautiously, "I was just a passerby who accidentally wandered in."

The old woman refused to accept this. "She is my Jingyuan's future mother-in-law, from the Bai family, the richest family in Jiangnan."

The woman waved her hands desperately. Without Ning Zhiwei as a relative, this pair of grandparents and grandchildren were nothing.

"This old lady is so confused. There is no marriage certificate and no matchmaker. How can there be a marriage? I will leave now, right away."

The woman took out a stack of banknotes and silently stuffed it over.

The soldiers took a look and saw that it was two thousand taels, which was not bad.

"You go."

In Qianming Palace, Ning Zhiwei quickly received the news, "Sent away?"

Xiao Linfeng nodded and said, "Yes, let's see who will jump out next?" Then we can catch them all in one fell swoop.

This process of changing dynasties is a battle between the old and new forces. The new forces will encroach on the territory and interests of the old forces and will naturally be met with a frenzied counterattack.

This road is paved with the blood of countless people.

But, there is no construction without destruction.

"Xiao Tongcheng saw people from the Jiangnan Bai family there."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "The Jiangnan Bai family is rich enough to rival a country, and has stood firm since the founding of the country. No matter who comes to power, it will not affect the status of the Bai family. They are very resourceful."

"Now, half of the land in Jiangnan belongs to them."

The Bai family has deep-rooted and complex roots in Jiangnan.

She didn't want to deal with them right away, but since they reached out their hands and secretly stirred up trouble, she couldn't blame her for being rude.

"I want this money, but I want the land even more!"
