Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Like a heavy hammer hitting him, Zhou Hongye's heart was pounding and his blood was boiling.

"I heard that the Silver-faced General is your man?"

It seems that he was not idle that night and found out a lot of things.

"Yes." Ning Zhiwei did not hide it from him.

Zhou Hongye had always had great ambitions and wanted to become famous overnight by passing the imperial examination. Unfortunately, his path to the imperial examination was cut off and his ambitions were completely extinguished.

However, he still had a sick mother and a weak sister, so he could not be depressed. He could only humbly serve as a legal advisor to those officials who were born into wealthy families and beg for a living.

Those people are incompetent, immoral, and have no manners, yet they occupy high positions and order him around like a servant.

However, he has all kinds of abilities, but his talents are unable to be fully utilized.

"You are a woman, you must get married."

He wanted to find a wise master who could give him the opportunity to realize his ambitions, not a woman trapped in the backyard.

A woman's honor and disgrace in life depends on a man.

Ning Zhiwei saw through his concerns at a glance and said calmly, "I am a woman, but I am also the sixth head of the Ning family. Everyone in the Ning family respects me, and everyone in and outside the court has to look up to me."

"I was given the title of county lord not only because my last name is Ning, but also because I have the means and the support of 100,000 Ning family soldiers."

She broke the secular tradition that men were the heads of the household.

"In my life, getting married is not the only option. I have greater ideals and ambitions."

"Of course, I must have an heir. If I find a suitable one, we can get married. It's not impossible to kill the father and keep the son."

Her eyes were calm and she spoke of these things without any shyness.

The plan for life is clear and firm.

Men cannot stop her from moving forward.

For her, love between children is the icing on the cake, not a necessity.

Zhou Hongye felt confused as he listened to her unorthodox and shocking words.

Suddenly I remembered the scene where she and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard walked side by side. It was strange yet harmonious.

Ning Zhiwei could enter and leave the Beizhen Sifu Yamen, which was feared and avoided by all officials, as freely as if it were his own backyard.

The Jinyiwei, who were feared by the world, admired her from the bottom of their hearts and praised her highly.

The notorious commander of the Imperial Guard seemed to respect her quite a bit.

Is this something an ordinary woman can do?

No, she is not an ordinary person.

In her, he saw ambition, lofty aspirations, great aspirations, and a kind heart.

Looking at the man whose facial expression kept changing, at this moment, his hair had not turned white overnight and he still looked young.

"You have read books, so you should know what it means to be content with yourself when you are poor and to help the world when you are rich."

Zhou Hongye was shocked. "The county lady is familiar with the Art of War. Which sentence do you like the most?"

Ning Zhiwei did not deny it, and said calmly, "To defeat the enemy without fighting is the best strategy."

Zhou Hongye looked at her deeply, his expression extremely complicated.

Dongsheng, who was standing aside, felt like he was listening to a foreign language. He felt that he understood every word, but he didn't understand the meaning behind it.

After the meal, Ning Zhiwei wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, elegantly and calmly.

Zhou Hongye suddenly stood up and asked, "Can the county lady give me two hundred taels of silver?"

Dongsheng glared at him. What? How dare he ask for such a high price? He just wanted to take advantage of his master?

Ning Zhiwei smiled, her eyebrows curved, and a smile overflowed from her eyes, "Give him two hundred taels."

They are both smart people. He deliberately tests her and she sends out messages to recruit him. In just a few words, they understand each other's thoughts.

As for whether he is willing to join her team, he is a serious man and needs time to consider.

Well, anyway, as long as you don’t vote for Su Mingjin, you’re halfway to success.

Zhou Hongye took the silver and bowed deeply, "Thank you, County Lady. Goodbye."

"Wait a moment."

Zhou Hongye's expression froze, and he turned around, "Does the county lady regret this?"

Ning Zhiwei has never been a stingy person. He deeply understands the principle that if you want to get something, you must give first.

"The road is not peaceful. If you don't mind, I will send two people to escort you back home."

She remembered that in her previous life, Zhou Hongye was alone, all his family members had passed away, and she didn't know what had happened.

"If you mind, I'll give you a horse and a bag of dry food."

Zhou Hongye was born in a poor family and had only felt contempt and disdain since he was a child. His previous employers treated him as a servant, a tool to solve problems, who came when called and left when dismissed.

He had never received such respect before, and it came from someone in a high position, so he was deeply shocked.

For the first time, he felt this kind of respect that came from the heart, this kind of respect for equal treatment, which made his heart boil.

His eyes were red, and he bowed solemnly. "Please send someone to take me back, I will go as soon as possible and bring my family to the capital to take care of them."

Although he did not say it explicitly, this was a great gift to the Lord.

Ning Zhiwei saw it and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

She personally sent them to the carriage and repeatedly instructed the guards to take good care of Zhou Hongye along the way, which moved Zhou Hongye so much that he burst into tears. Then he watched them leave.

A faint voice sounded behind him, "Aren't you afraid that you will be beaten by a meat bun and never come back?"

It was Rong Jing. He was in official uniform and must have just come off court.

Ning Zhiwei looked calm and composed, "Isn't life just a gamble?"

"If I lose the bet, then I will just tie him back."

She arranged for someone to send him back home, but it was not that simple.

Rong Jing:……!!!

"What do you want to do?"

Ning Zhiwei changed from her gentle demeanor just now, and her bright eyes were filled with ambition and determination to win.

"I won't kill him, but I won't let him fall into the hands of others."

"People and objects with too much lethality must be controlled in our own hands."

Kindness cannot command an army. The reason she has come to where she is today is not because of kindness, but because of her strong abilities and means.

From the moment she saw Zhou Hongye, his fate was sealed.

"Aren't you afraid of backlash?"

"Don't be afraid, I will destroy it in advance." Ning Zhiwei has a kind of confidence that everything in the world is under control, and an extremely powerful indifference.

"Boom, boom, boom." Rong Jing heard the sound of his heart beating again. It was beating disorderly and wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable in your chest? Go see a doctor as soon as possible."

Rong Jing then realized that he was holding his chest with his hands, his palms were slightly sweaty, but his face remained calm.

"It's okay. I've been busy with cases lately and didn't sleep well at night."

It's inevitable when handling cases. Ning Zhiwei expressed her understanding, and when she was busy, she would work day and night.

"Then take a good rest. The body is the foundation of everything. Without a healthy body, power and status are all in vain."

Her concerned look made Rong Jing feel warm inside, but he didn't dare to indulge in it.

"I see. I came here specially to see you."

"what's up?"

Rong Jing was afraid that she would hear his heartbeat, so he took two steps back calmly, "Tomorrow is the third day of the appointment at Furong Garden. As one of the judges, I will be there to witness it with my own eyes. I have come here to schedule an hour."

This was serious business, Ning Zhiwei immediately became alert, "The court session ends around si hour, so let's make an appointment at 1 cho hour, is that ok?"

"Okay." Rong Jing suggested, "You'd better send a message to Prime Minister Duan in advance."

"Okay." Ning Zhiwei smiled, "I guess Prince Ming is like an ant on a hot pot, sitting on pins and needles right now."

She did not hide her emotions, pure and simple. Rong Jing could not help but take another look at her, "Do you hate him so much?"

"Yes, I hate it very, very, very much."

She couldn't wait for the big show to begin tomorrow.

Of course, tonight is even more lively, a precise sniper attack is ready to go...

She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, are you ready?
