Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

With the emperor and the eldest princess acting as referees, Su Mingjin had no choice but to sign the gambling agreement.

He was nervous and not very optimistic about the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion.

But, at this point, he has no way out and has to think of a solution.

Ning Zhiwei watched him walk quietly to a remote corner, whispering with his followers, and was secretly on guard in his heart.

This person is very scheming and shameless, he can do anything.

The emperor looked around and called directly, "Rong Jing, you come to judge."

Rong Jing was the Dali Temple Minister. It was his responsibility to try the case. He stepped forward without hesitation and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this place is too narrow. Why don't we move to the courtyard?"

"Approved." The emperor gave a command, and everyone surrounded him and walked out.

In the huge courtyard, all parties were in place and Rong Jing began to try the case. He was very experienced and let both parties state their stories first.

The wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi rushed to speak first. She recounted the entire incident loudly, adding fuel to the fire, and accused Ning Zhiwei of being so audacious as to trespass into the mansion and lynching everyone in the mansion without authorization, especially the Marquis of Zhenxi's son, who was badly beaten.

This is the prince appointed by the emperor himself. Ning Zhiwei is disregarding the emperor and the law.

Qi Yanjun screamed a few times at the right time, it was so pitiful.

The servants also came out to accuse him. In their words, Ning Zhiwei was a demon who had done all kinds of evil and who could not be appeased unless he was killed.

However, Ning Zhiwei was very quiet throughout the whole process. She stood under the flower corridor and looked at the house silently. No one knew what she was thinking.

But the calmer it is, the more unsettling it makes people feel.

No one will forget how Ning Zhiwei overthrew those civil and military officials to the ground.

Even though the princes wanted to make Ning Zhiwei suffer a great loss, they had learned their lesson and did not speak rashly.

When Ning Zhiwei goes crazy, his killing power is too great. He fires in all directions without caring about the other party's identity.

It's not worth putting yourself in this kind of situation.

When it was Ning Zhiwei's turn to speak, she simply and clearly restored the entire process with vivid images that made people feel as if they were there.

She did not exaggerate or avoid what she had done. She beat him and scolded him.

She admitted it openly and did not attack others with bad words.

In comparison, the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion fell behind and seemed particularly tasteless.

Next, Rong Jing took control of the entire process in an orderly manner.

"Princess Jingning, what do you want to say about the accusations made by the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi?"

Ning Zhiwei slowly looked at the man covered in wounds, without any fear.

"Qi Yanjun wanted my elder sister's life, so I want his life too. A murderer should pay with his life. I don't want to dirty my hands for such a person. I just want him to be punished by law."

She expressed her attitude that she knows and abides by the law, does everything according to the law, and will not kill indiscriminately.

As for beating Qi Yanjun, she admitted that she just wanted to make him suffer a little to vent her hatred.

Such frankness is endearing.

Not far away, the eldest princess could not help but nod secretly, "Your Majesty, Ning Zhiwei is a good person with a bottom line and principles. How bad can someone who knows how to protect his shortcomings be?"

Emperor: ...Sister Imperial, your heart is biased.

In the sunlight, Ning Zhiwei's beautiful face was extremely solemn. "Although my Ning family has fallen, we are not to be bullied by everyone. I am the most protective person. If anyone dares to hurt my Ning family, I will make them regret giving birth to me."

This was not only said to the Zhenxi Marquis Mansion, but also to everyone present, and even more so to the Ning family's married daughter's family.

Don't think that there is no one in the Ning family anymore and then bully and abuse the Ning family's married daughters.

She is the head of the Ning family and protects all members of the Ning family, including her married daughter.

As long as she is here, the Ning family will exist. She is the support of all the Ning family members and will risk her life to protect them.

The courage and responsibility she displayed made everyone present look complicated, angry, jealous, and even a little envious.

It’s great to have such a family.

The princes felt the deepest. They were well-dressed and well-fed, and had the best things in the world, but they might not have a relative who would fight for them.

The royal family has weak family ties, and between parents and children, the relationship is first between the ruler and his subjects, and then between interests and authority.

Unconditional maintenance? No.

The eldest princess sighed, "Brother, I suddenly remembered our childhood."

The emperor was shocked. It had been a long time since he heard his sister call him like that. "Back then, we depended on each other and fought our way out of this cannibalistic palace. You protected me in the same way."

That was the only bright spot in my gloomy childhood.

The eldest princess smiled slightly, "She is a bit like me, maybe that's why I like her."

The emperor was stunned and couldn't help but look at Ning Zhiwei.

Ning Zhiwei raised his hand and his men handed him a stack of confessions.

"This is the confession of the servants in the Zhenxi Marquis's Mansion. It clearly records how Qi Yanjun bullied my elder sister. Ignoring and humiliating her was common."

She never fought a battle without preparation. From the moment she learned the news, countless orders were issued.

"Now that he has seen the men of my Ning family die on the battlefield, he has no scruples and personally fed poison to my elder sister. This is such an unkind, cruel and despicable act. Even calling him a beast is an insult."

The dowry that Ning Wenyin brought with her was all sent away, and some of them were either married to servants or found an excuse to end up in the farm.

Only one wet nurse refused to leave.

In the locked backyard of the courtyard, Ning Wenyin could only silently endure the endless torture with no help from heaven or earth.

"Let me see it." The eldest princess spoke, her brows were frowned and her face looked very unhappy.

Back then, the Marquis of Zhenxi was sincere in seeking marriage with a very humble attitude, and he did not cherish her after marrying her.

She lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I remember that Miss Ning married into the Zhenxi Marquis's mansion, and that's when the Zhenxi Marquis asked for the establishment of a crown prince, right?"

Obviously, Ning Wenyin is just a bargaining chip for Qi Yanjun to become the crown prince. The deep love between husband and wife is nothing but a joke.

The emperor liked Qi Yanjun before because he was good-looking, good at flattery, ambitious, and a descendant of a noble family without any bad habits, so he was considered a clean person.

He also intends to use it as a benchmark.

Who knew, he was just pretending! If he wants to pretend, he should pretend for the rest of his life!

"Yes."

The eldest princess and the emperor are siblings from the same father and mother, and they know each other very well.

She knew that the emperor was feeling uncomfortable, so she just said calmly, "If it weren't for Princess Jingning making a scene today, Miss Ning would have died quietly without attracting anyone's attention."

They squeeze out the last bit of value from people and then treat them like commodities.

At this moment, the eldest princess, as a woman, felt a deep sorrow in her heart.

Even if she is the daughter of a noble family, she cannot escape the tragic fate of marrying the wrong person.

The two of them sat far away, surrounded by guards, and separated from the others by a distance, so when they spoke in a low voice, others could not hear them.

On the other side, the wife of the Marquis of Zhenxi glared fiercely and said confidently, "This was a confession under torture. As soon as Ning Zhiwei came in, she subdued the servants and forced them to sign the confession paper. She also beat Yanjun and forced him to admit to the trumped-up charges. This is simply lawless."

She threw all the blame onto Ning Zhiwei, saying it was all her fault and her son was innocent.

The servants also changed their testimonies and accused Ning Zhiwei in unison.

Ning Zhiwei was being criticized by thousands of people and the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for her. Some people were secretly worried about her.

Ning Zhiwei watched their performance quietly, and suddenly said, "Qi Yanjun's accomplice in the murder of his wife is in my hands."

Oh my goodness, here comes the killer!
