Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

"Do you still want to marry her?"

"Marry." He said it without hesitation for a second. After he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that he had spoken too quickly and subconsciously tried to make up for it.

"For the greater good, I am willing to sacrifice my lifelong happiness."

Su Haozhi felt as if a huge stone was pressing down on his heart. For the first time, he realized that his son's attitude towards Ning Zhiwei was different.

He said words that were extremely derogatory to the other person, but his expression did not reflect that. It was contradictory and complicated.

Su Mingjin asked curiously, "Father, why are you looking at me like that?"

He himself might not have realized the difference, but the experienced Su Haozhi had already noticed the subtlety.

As for the word "emotion", I don't know where it comes from, where it resides, and how to interpret it. Note (1)

I can't help my emotions, and my heart's desires are completely out of my control.

I have to say that Ning Zhiwei is an extremely outstanding woman. She is full of vitality, fresh, smart, tenacious, intelligent and very attractive.

"I once said that our only mission in this world is to restore our country. To restore our country, we can sacrifice everything and give up everything."

"Everyone in this world is a pawn in our quest to restore our country. Our ultimate goal is to gain hegemony over the kingdom."

Su Mingjin was puzzled, but still lowered his hands and listened respectfully, "Yes."

Su Haozhi looked at his docile son, opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.

Maybe I guessed wrong, I hope I am wrong.

The first thing Ning Zhiwei did when she returned to Furong Garden was to send the ancient books to the palace for the emperor to read carefully.

I went to see Ning Wenyin and her two sisters. They were busy preparing for the first shot.

Whether Furong Garden can become an overnight hit and a money-making beast depends on this time.

She also participated and provided a lot of novel ideas.

Zhou Hongye was running around outside, things were flowing into Furong Garden like water, and everyone was very busy.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were only three days left until Ning Zhiwei's coming-of-age banquet.

The clothes sent from the palace were all ready-made, so Ning Zhiwei didn't need to prepare anything.

"Master, the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion is here and wants to see you."

Ning Zhiwei frowned. The old lady of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion was a very bad person. She was too careless in doing things. It was the same then and it is the same now.

"No, tell her that she has to hand in her visiting card two days in advance and get permission before she can visit. That's the rule."

She has already severed her relationship with the Dingyuan Marquisate, but she will not tolerate those shameless guys.

The servant reported carefully, "She just wants to say a few words."

"I'm busy." Ning Zhiwei knew the character of that family very well. It was rotten to the core and not a single good person among them.

He is a sycophantic person who flatters the powerful and bullies the weak. He is selfish and cold-hearted and will sell out anything for profit.

"Master, there is news from the northwest." The subordinate handed over the letter.

Ning Zhiwei took it and looked at it, his brows frowned and his face looked very unhappy.

Only one-third of the food and fodder for the Ning Family Army in the Northwest was distributed this month, which is seriously in arrears. The soldiers are not able to eat enough, so how can they fight?

"Go to the Ministry of Revenue and ask what's going on? Is this intentional?"

The subordinate who went to inquire about the situation came back soon, "Master, they said that they temporarily diverted this military fund in order to hold a coming-of-age banquet for you."

Ning Zhiwei was furious, his blood boiling, and he felt extremely sick.

What the hell?

Was it her idea to hold the coming-of-age banquet? It was the palace that insisted on it!

They withheld military funds and put all the blame on her in order to alienate her from the Ning Family Army!

And destroy her reputation! We must weaken her influence!

It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.

The question is, completely ignoring the raging war situation on the border, do they really not care about losing the war at all?

Oh, you plan to consume the Ning family army’s strength first and make them disappear, right?

Now the war situation in the northwest is entirely supported by the Ning family army, which is defending the border. Once it is lost, the southwest gate will be opened, and the foreign enemies will march straight in and approach the capital.

Are they so confident that without the Ning family army, troops from all directions would be able to come to the rescue in time?

This corrupt dynasty is rotten to the core! There is no hope for it!

Ning Zhiwei was so angry that he went crazy. He picked up the whip and walked out, "Bring the men and horses, let's go to the Ministry of Revenue to collect the debt."

She rushed out with her men to fight, but was stopped at the gate.

The elegantly dressed old lady looked at Ning Zhiwei with a loving face and called out affectionately, "Zhiwei, Zhiwei, I am your grandmother."

It was none other than the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis and Lin Jingshu, the grandmother and granddaughter.

"My dear child, I haven't seen you for so many years. You have grown up so much. It's all my fault. I didn't stop your parents from going crazy. You ended up living outside. Your grandmother has been so sad all these years."

When she got emotional, she burst into tears and acted like a loving old grandmother.

But, didn't Ning Zhiwei know who she was? She was only interested in profit. "I'm very busy. If you have anything to say, please speak quickly."

The old lady of Marquis Dingyuan looked hurt, as if she had suffered a great blow.

Lin Jingshu couldn't help but jump out and scold, "Ning Zhiwei, how do you talk to your grandmother? Do you understand filial piety..."

Ning Zhiwei was furious and whipped him with the whip in his hand, "Get lost."

A whip was lashed at Lin Jingshu's body. Lin Jingshu was stunned and her mind went blank.

She actually dared to hit someone!!

Ning Zhiwei cursed impatiently, "Bitch is just hypocritical."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

The old lady of Marquis Dingyuan's lips were trembling, she was extremely nervous, and her body was tense.

But, thinking of the purpose of coming here, she mustered up the courage to approach her, "You...you are about to reach adulthood, and your grandmother came here specially to give you a gift to congratulate you on finally becoming an adult."

When Ning Zhiwei opened it, he found that it was actually a smoky glass cup, one of the three treasures of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

He was willing to take it out, it seems he has a big plan.

However, she would not refuse good things that came to her door. It would be a waste if she didn't take it, and it would be a waste if she took it.

"Oh, thank you, Madam Lin."

Seeing her accept the gift so neatly, the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she felt distressed and contemptuous. This girl was too short-sighted and greedy, and dared to accept anything.

But, he had a bright smile on his face.

"At your coming-of-age ceremony, I want to be the guest of honor and personally crown you, to make up for all the suffering you've endured over the years."

Ning Zhiwei raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, he had bad intentions. Not everyone could be the main guest. He had to be either one of his own elders or a respected nobleman.

"How dare you compete with the Queen Mother?"

It was the first time that the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis met Ning Zhiwei face to face. Ning Zhiwei had a fierce aura that made her feel uncomfortable.

"As long as you nod, the Queen Mother is willing to fulfill our relationship as grandparents and grandchildren."

Ning Zhiwei keenly realized that something was wrong, "Did the Queen Mother say that herself?"

"Yes, the Queen Mother is kind and willing to help others."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed his eyes dangerously. Haha, some people just won't keep quiet.

"Not impossible, as long as you agree to one condition of mine."

The old lady of Dingyuan Marquis could not help but be overjoyed. She did not expect it to be so smooth. "Don't just say one, even ten or a hundred will do."

"Give me a million silver coins."

Madam Dingyuan Hou: ...

Lin Jingshu had never seen such a greedy person who was obsessed with money, but she dared not say anything.

"If you give me money, I will allow you to be the guest of honor for once. If you don't have money, leave now." Ning Zhiwei had a stern face, a stern demeanor, and a tone of alms.

Want to plot against her? Haha, you will lose both the wife and the army.

"We are grandparents and grandchildren..."

"The letter of severance is still in my hand."

Just one sentence left the old lady of Dingyuan Marquis speechless.

"There are still three days left. You should think about it carefully. We will not wait for you later." After saying this, Ning Zhiwei left with his men.

Lin Jingshu and her grandchildren glared at each other in anger.

Ning Zhiwei arrived at the door of the household department with a group of his men in a menacing manner.

"Master, this is where it is."

A guard blocked the way at the door, "This is the Ministry of Revenue, no one is allowed in."

Ning Zhiwei was holding a horsewhip, with full aura, and waved his right hand, "Charge!"

Let’s fight!
