Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"Have you found Xiao Qi? Is he still alive?"

Early in the morning, a surprised voice was heard at the Ning family's dining table.

All members of the Ning family looked at Ning Zhiwei in unison, expressing disbelief, nervousness, uneasiness, and strong anticipation.

Ning Zhiwei gently supported Madam Ning, tears in her eyes, "Yes, Seventh Brother is still alive."

She has never given up searching for her two brothers who disappeared on the battlefield. She wants to see them alive or dead.

The guards walked downstream along the river, searching all the way. Fortunately, their hard work paid off and they finally found the person.

Her seventh brother, who grew up with her, doted on her and loved her, gave her countless care, and fought side by side with her on the battlefield.

Old Madam Ning's body swayed, tears streaming down her face. Thank God, God has opened his eyes.

"Good, that's great, Xiao Qi is still alive."

The male members of the Ning family are not all dead!

Everyone cried with joy. Ning Qishao, who had gone missing on the battlefield, was found. He was their closest family member.

The Seventh Young Master's wife, who looked like a dead tree, was so excited that there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.

"Fifth sister, where is he now? I'll go pick him up."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law Qi. Brother Qi's condition is not good."

The Seventh Young Master's wife's heart tightened, and she suddenly grabbed Ning Zhiwei's arm, "What's wrong with him?"

Ning Zhiwei sighed softly. Seventh brother had lost all his martial arts skills, his bones were broken, and he was paralyzed in bed unable to move. Fortunately, he was rescued and taken care of, and he barely managed to save his life.

"I have submitted a memorial to the emperor overnight, asking him to send a royal physician."

Madam Ning patted her granddaughter-in-law on the back comfortingly, "As long as you are alive, nothing else matters."

Compared to those Ning family generals on the battlefield, this is already very good.

"You're right." The Seventh Young Master's wife was extremely distressed. They had been married for just one month when her husband went to the battlefield and never came back.

A weak voice sounded, "Then...is there any news about your fourth brother?"

It was the fourth young master’s wife, and her eyes were full of nervousness.

The room was quiet, Ning Zhiwei pursed her lips, "No news is the best news."

The Fourth Young Master's wife suppressed her disappointment, tears in her eyes, "You are right, Seventh Brother can survive, he will definitely survive, definitely."

Ning Zhiwei sighed silently.

With such a happy event, everyone was in high spirits and in much better spirits. Old Madam Ning ate an extra bowl of rice as she wanted to stay in good spirits and wait for her grandson to come home.

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

After dinner, Ning Zhiwei took Ning Wenyin to the garden to digest the food.

"Fifth sister, what do you want to say? What... are you doing?"

Ning Zhiwei bowed deeply and said, "Big sister, I would like you to take care of Furong Garden and Fenghuang Tower."

Ning Wenyin was stunned and confused, "I am not suitable. I am an abandoned woman and I cannot show myself in front of others."

Ning Zhiwei held her shoulders and said, "You are the eldest daughter of the Ning family who has been carefully nurtured. You were able to manage a large general's mansion before you got married. You are a good housekeeper and are also good at socializing."

"Most importantly, you are a business wizard."

Ning Wenyin was once a proud and confident eldest daughter of a military family, as bright as the sun, but she married the wrong husband, and all her pride was destroyed.

She shook her head desperately, "I can't do it. It will bring shame to the Ning family."

Ning Wenyin showed a keen talent for business since she was a child and helped her family earn a lot of money. However, people disliked businessmen for their money-making tendencies, so she never showed it in front of others and outsiders did not know her abilities.

Ning Zhiwei needs talents and money even more.

"You have also seen that our Ning family is in crisis and has enemies everywhere. The real mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been brought to justice and is still secretly watching the Ning family. Our Ning family may be overthrown at any time."

Ning Wenyin's face changed drastically, "Who is it?"

"Fourth Prince, Concubine Li." Ning Zhiwei never forgot for a moment and wrote it all down in the little black notebook.

Ning Wenyin thought of her deceased grandfather, father, uncle, brothers and sisters, and her heart ached. "How dare they? How could they?"

"In their eyes, the common people are like ants, and the soldiers at the border are like their pet dogs. They can beat or kill them at will."

Ning Wenyin's eyes turned red with anger, "Beast."

Ning Zhiwei covered her chest with her hands, her face in pain. "Big sister, I watched my uncle die in front of me. At that moment, I made up my mind to make the enemy pay the same price and let them taste the pain we endured."

"The road to revenge is full of thorns, it is difficult and lonely. I have to endure what ordinary people cannot endure and suffer what ordinary people cannot endure. I need companions and allies. If Big Sister doesn't want to, I won't force it..."

That was Ning Wenyin's biological father. Her tears flowed down and her heart felt like it was being torn apart.

She wanted to help, but it took a lot of courage to go out and stand in front of the world again.

"Fifth sister, give me some time to think about it."

"it is good."

By the evening of the next day, the case was concluded and the conclusion was reached.

Rong Jing came over and said, "Princess Jingning, the Ning family is innocent, and the rebellion is completely false."

They were quite quick, and Ning Zhiwei was in a good mood. "Has the case been closed? Who is the mastermind behind this?"

As far as she knew, Wei Zhongliang and his men had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable as human beings.

With the methods of the Jinyiwei, no one can keep the secret, not even Wei Zhongli.

Rong Jing looked at the Jinyiwei who were packing up. He was monitoring the whole process and naturally knew everything.

"This...please forgive me for not being able to speak directly."

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you." Anyway, in Ning Zhiwei's mind, Su Haozhi and Su Mingjin, father and son, had already been listed as the primary suspects.

They have such strength and ability.

However, with Su Haozhi's shrewdness, he will not be exposed directly.

He has been hiding this secret for decades and has a lot of experience.

When the county magistrate and his entourage heard that they could leave, they all felt relieved and were overjoyed.

They were lucky that the matter was resolved satisfactorily and they were able to get away with it unscathed.

Ning Zhiwei personally escorted them out and gave them many specialties from Qingluo Villa, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, fish and eggs. Each person received two large baskets and one hundred taels of silver as compensation.

She also apologized repeatedly with an extremely sincere attitude, which made people feel very comfortable.

County Magistrate Qian and his entourage were grateful for the favors they received and were lenient with their favors.

They all said that they did not blame her and that the Ning family was also a victim. The atmosphere was extremely harmonious for a while.

The Jinyiwei were also leaving. Due to their special circumstances, they could not be given silver, but each of them would be given a jar of Qingluo wine.

They were very happy. They ate and drank well and got something to take home. Not bad, not bad. Princess Jingning really knew how to behave.

Xie Tongcheng was the happiest. "County Lady, this Qingluo wine is indeed as good as Baihuazui. Give me another jar."

As soon as he got the wine, he drank it heartily. There was only half a jar left.

Xiao Linfeng glared at him unhappily and said, "Nonsense." Where did all the wine come from?

Ning Zhi smiled and nodded, "It's gone now. I'll send it to the brothers after it's brewed."

Rong Jing looked at her share and pursed her lips slightly. When she was mad, she would dare to do anything, but under normal circumstances, she would act properly and make people feel like spring breeze.

"Princess Jingning, it's over. When you have time, go to the capital and let the people see you."

Ning Zhiwei understood immediately. She had someone leak the news before, and public opinion in the capital was in an uproar.

"Okay, I'll arrange things for the villa, then stay at Hibiscus Garden for a while, and then go to Phoenix Tower for a visit."

As long as the people saw that she was safe, public opinion would calm down.

"That would be the best." Under the setting sun, Rong Jing stood tall and saluted, "Goodbye."

Suddenly, Ning Zhiwei's heart trembled, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. It was dangerous!

On the battlefield, it was this beast-like instinct that saved her countless times.

"Be careful."

A long arrow shot towards Ning Zhiwei's chest, and Ning Zhiwei's face changed slightly.

At this moment, a tall figure rushed over and held her in his arms.

There was a muffled groan in my ear, mixed with a hint of pain.

"Lord Rong."

Ning Zhiwei pushed the man away, and a dazzling blood-red color pierced his eyes. His head buzzed, he was injured!

"There's an assassin." Xiao Linfeng's face turned pale and he was extremely angry. "Chase."

Who could have thought that an assassination could be carried out right under the noses of the Embroidered Uniform Guards? How courageous!

Who is it? Who is it?!
