Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

What is the price of forcing an emperor to swear an oath?

Patriarch Xie now knows and understands.

Ning Zhiwei didn't care about his life at all. She wanted to keep him alive and let him watch with his own eyes his family being slaughtered, everyone dying miserably, and his ancestors' bodies being completely destroyed, while he could do nothing.

This is the cruelest punishment.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes were cold and her tone was light, "Using the thousands of lives of the Xie family to exchange for the survival of other families, is that what you want?"

Patriarch Xie's face turned pale. He was not a saint, nor was he crazy? How could he exchange his family's death for the life of another family?

The education they received from birth was that they live for the family, fight for the family, die for the family, and that the interests of the family are above all else.

The aristocratic families are related by marriage for generations. They prosper together and suffer together, and are interdependent.

But, in the face of family interests, anyone can be sacrificed, so what does in-laws matter?

If the entire Xie family died, would there be any need for other families to exist?

Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "If you don't say anything, then I'll let you acquiesce."

"Alright, I swear to God..."

Patriarch Xie was horrified and said, "Wait a minute."

He was in a state of confusion and wanted to calm down and think carefully, but there was no time.

"I've changed my mind. As long as you swear not to harm my Xie family, I will release Duke Weiguo." As for other people's families, he couldn't care less.

Ning Zhiwei's eyes flashed with an inexplicable cold light, "Can you make the decision?"

Patriarch Xie took a deep breath and said, "Of course."

Ning Zhiwei looked at the pleasure boat on the lake and said, "Okay, call the pleasure boat over. I want to confirm two things. Is the Duke of Wei safe and sound? Do you have the right to make independent decisions?"

Patriarch Xie was hesitant, feeling that something was wrong. "This..."

Ning Zhiwei shouted impatiently, "Hurry up, after all, I have issued a killing order, you don't have much time."

Patriarch Xie had seen countless women in his life, some smart, some beautiful, some charming, some weak, some sweet and lovely, but he had never seen one like this.

He was decisive and ruthless, and could kill thousands of people without blinking an eye.

Is this still a woman?

"I'll count to ten. If you don't choose, I'll choose for you."

Patriarch Xie couldn't help but get anxious. "As long as the Xie family is safe, I'll send the pleasure boat over right away."

People are selfish, and he chose to protect himself.

Patriarch Xie made a gesture, and the houseboat slowly came over. Ning Zhiwei could already see the child's face clearly; it was Ning Xinzhe!

Ning Xinzhe also saw her, and his expression was extremely excited, "Aunt, Aunt."

The pleasure boat stopped some distance from the shore and refused to approach. On the deck stood several men holding swords, who looked like gangsters.

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him calmly, "Xinzhe, are you okay?"

Ning Xinzhe's face turned red, "Aunt, please leave me alone and don't agree to their outrageous requests. I'm not afraid of death."

He knew that he was caught to threaten his aunt, and he was really useless.

Ning Zhiwei looked at his angry face and asked loudly, "Did they abuse you? Did they beat you?"

Ning Xinzhe's eyes turned red. After seeing his relatives, he could no longer keep calm. "He slapped me twice, kicked me once, and didn't even give me food."

Ning Zhiwei's face darkened and he pointed at Patriarch Xie, "Did this old guy do it?"

Ning Xinzhe took a look and said, "Another old man did it. They are accomplices. They are on the pleasure boat. Their surname is Wang."

Although he was drugged, he kept trying to find a way to escape after waking up.

Unfortunately, his power is too small.

Ning Zhiwei sneered, "The old patriarch of the Wang family is old, and it is indeed time for him to lie in a coffin."

"Thank you, old man. It's time for you to show your abilities."

Patriarch Xie's eyes flickered slightly, "Put down Duke Weiguo and send him to me." Only when the chips are in his hands can they play the greatest role.

The guard subconsciously untied Ning Xinzhe. Ning Xinzhe rubbed his cold hands and stared at Ning Zhiwei without blinking.

Ning Zhiwei made a gesture to him, and his eyes lit up.

The pleasure boat was about to move forward, but was stopped by an old man, "Stop."

An old man with half white hair came out, looking unhappy, "This is different from what we discussed."

Patriarch Xie smiled, confident that everything was under control, "Brother Wang, it's settled, let him go."

Although old man Wang is old, his eyesight is not blurry. He feels that things are not that easy. "She has sworn?"

Patriarch Xie waved his hand impatiently, "Yes, send the person over quickly."

Old Man Wang was skeptical, "Ning Zhiwei, did you really swear?"

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him coldly, and the commander of the imperial guards beside her became furious and shouted loudly.

"How dare you! Who are you to speak to our Majesty like that? How dare you address our Majesty by his name?"

Old Man Wang stared at Ning Zhiwei and said, "Ning Zhiwei, you must swear an oath again in front of me before I can believe you."

Ning Xinzhe was very angry. They actually forced my aunt to swear an oath and insulted her personality! "Aunt, ignore this bastard. He doesn't keep his word."

"Pa pa." Two slaps hit Ning Xinzhe's face. Old man Wang looked at Ning Zhiwei with a provocative look. His descendants were killed by Xiao Linfeng. It was all her fault! He wanted to cut her into pieces!

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. "Drag the Wang family out."

More than a dozen Wang family members were dragged out like dead dogs, "Master, save us."

"Father, save me."

Old man Wang's face changed. Here were his most valued eldest grandson and his favorite youngest son.

Ning Zhiwei raised his voice and said, "This old guy slapped Duke Weiguo, so your Wang family must pay the price."

She pointed casually, "Kill all these people."

The people she pointed out were frightened out of their wits, "No, my last name is not Wang, my last name is Tu, we are just relatives."

Ning Zhiwei glanced at him and said, "You take your mother's surname. You are the illegitimate son of this old man. It is only natural that the son should pay for the father's debt. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not having a good father."

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams will be crooked too. He himself is not a good person. He has done many things to bully men and women and exploit the common people.

"Do it."

With the rise and fall of the knife, Old Man Wang's most beloved illegitimate son died. Old Man Wang stared in disbelief.

The blood splattered on the other members of the Wang family nearby, and they were terrified, “Ahhhh.”

Ning Zhiwei's face looked very unhappy, "Old Wang, you are almost killing all the descendants of the Wang family that you have put in the open."

"When the time comes, I will have people investigate any woman you have had an affair with. I believe that before long, all of your illegitimate children will go to the underworld to accompany you, ensuring that you have many children and grandchildren, without missing a single one."

"I will completely exterminate the Wang family."

If we don't kill a bunch of people, how can we shock the world? Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

She wanted to tell the world that this would be the fate of anyone who dared to challenge the emperor's authority or touch the Ning family.

Patriarch Wang couldn't hold it in any longer. "You're a lunatic!"

"Kill the Duke of Wei immediately, quickly! I will make you regret it for the rest of your life!"

A man from the underworld raised his sword and swung it at Ning Xinzhe...
