Jiu Ning looked at him with confusion. Sister Xue knew that Tong Zhiyang had committed murder and arson, so why did she still persuade her to let him go?

"Have you ever considered that after you leave, the Ye family will still have to live in Luyang, and that Tong Fuyin has Li Xiang behind him. It would be better for the Ye family to come forward to clear Tong Fuyin's name, and also buy him a favor."

Xue Fangfei worriedly advised that it was better to stop while the going was good and to know when to stop, as this was the key to long-term survival.

Jiu Ning was a little disappointed. It turned out that she just didn't want to offend anyone. If only the Ye family was harmed here, she might have weighed the pros and cons.

But who has ever thought about the people who were killed in the pharmacy and the houses that were burned down, and who has the right to forgive them?

Sister Xue is a very nice person, but she is too calculating and takes advantage of people's hearts. She manages the good and bad people around her very well and has a firm grip on them.

She can take herself into account and leave a way out, but she cannot control the outcome and often has to ask others to sacrifice themselves and clean up the mess for her.

Seeing that the man kept his head down and didn't say anything, Xue Fangfei continued to persuade him.

"Jiuning, think about it carefully. Besides Prime Minister Li, there are also his subordinates and many other people in the capital. Can the Ye family deal with them one by one? Isn't it better to stop when you are ahead?"

Li Xiangguo still has subordinates? Yes! This is a good idea! Jiu Ning immediately laughed out loud because he had thought of a way to deal with the Li family.

"Sister Xue, I will probably let Tong Fuyin go for now, but I still need to make my position clear. I will not let this person go. This kind of scum should not be alive."

Jiu Ning didn't want to say anything too harsh or hurt the relationship, but she also didn't want to get involved in Sister Xue's affairs.

"You've been tired all day, Sister Xue, go back to sleep!"

Seeing that the man had been persuaded by her, Xue Fangfei didn't think much about it. She wondered how she could retaliate after leaving here.

Afterwards, the two of them went back to rest. However, Xue Fangfei was puzzled as she never heard the Ye family come forward to explain the matter.

After Jiu Ning had a good rest, he went out to find Xiao Heng and told him his thoughts and also mentioned Xue Fangfei's proposal.

"From now on, stay out of Madam Xue's affairs. She's always calculating and only thinks about herself. You'll be dragged into it unconsciously. But I like your suggestion just now, and the Emperor will like it too."

Jiu Ning rolled her eyes at him unhappily: "You really are... Sister Xue schemed against you, calling you selfish, and told me to stay away. Am I so stupid that I would fall for her scheme?"

Xiao Heng shook his head helplessly: "You only know how to seize the opportunity when dealing with things, but you are too lazy to understand people's hearts. Am I right?"

"Hmph! You make me sound so useless." Just as Jiu Ning was about to pout to express her dissatisfaction, Xiao Heng added another sentence.

"You're doing great. I don't want you to bother trying to figure out other people. Just be happy."

"Besides, she can't compare to you. One of your previous schemes was able to cut off half of King Cheng's arm. I believe your idea this time will work just as well."

Jiu Ning was delighted by the praise: "I don't know how many people the Li family will lose this time. Hehehehe, I gave you such a good plan, is there a reward?"

Jiuning's eyes were full of stars, and her little hands were clasped in front of her chest, as if she was asking for a reward.

Xiao Heng's eyes were filled with joy as he stared at the dimples that were faintly visible on Jiuning's cheeks. The more he looked, the thirstier he felt.

"Me" He kissed the other person's plump and soft lips.

Jiuning smacked his lips and licked them again: "Alright, I accept this reward."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was embraced by a pair of strong arms.

"What should I do? I'm going back to Beijing in a couple of days. Do you want to come with me?"

If she were to explain the reason in a day or two, wouldn't she miss the Ye family's celebration banquet? If she explained the reason, she would definitely be laughed at for prioritizing love over friendship. No, she absolutely could not agree to this kind of marriage under the amnesty order.

Seeing the other person's face getting more and more wrinkled, Xiao Heng guessed what the other person was struggling with and could not help but continue to persuade him.

"Before leaving the capital, I have already asked His Majesty for an imperial decree granting us marriage. When we return to the capital, we can invite the Ye family. Won't we be able to meet again then?"

"Marry? When did I agree to marry you?"

Xiao Heng was stunned and immediately pretended to be aggrieved: "Is it possible that your promise of never leaving me was all a lie?"

"Forget it. The journey back to the capital is very dangerous. Prime Minister Li will definitely send people to rob and kill Feng Yutang. It will be safer for you to stay in Luyang."

After saying that, he loosened his arms, turned and walked towards the desk, occasionally raising his eyes to peek.

Jiu Ning suddenly smiled, and Xiao Heng thought he had figured it out. "Xiao Heng, Sister Xue wants to meet Father Xue. Is it possible today?"

Xiao Heng's face immediately drooped, and he sighed in his heart: "You bring her here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiuning waved his sleeves and left in a gust of wind.

Xiao Heng looked at the departing figure, feeling infinitely melancholy about the future. When would he be able to bring the beauty back to his nest?

At this time, Xue Huaiyuan was arranged to stay in a side room with two guards guarding the door. Although evidence to exonerate Xue Huaiyuan had been found, he would be guilty as long as the letter of exoneration was not issued.

Jiu Ning led Xue Fangfei to the door: "Sister Xue, Xue's father's mental state is not very good, you should be mentally prepared."

Long before Jiu Ning spoke, Xue Huaiyuan's voice could be heard from inside the room, but the words he spoke sounded like a child.

Xue Fangfei suppressed her sobs and said, "It's good to be alive." She took a deep breath and raised her hand to push the door open...

Jiu Ning did not go in. She wanted the father and daughter to have a good reminiscing about the past. But as soon as she turned around, she heard faint crying sounds coming from the room.

Jiu Ning did not leave, but sat on the stone bench in the yard and waited for a long time.

When Xue Fangfei calmed down and came out, she briefly talked about County Magistrate Xue's situation and said that he would be returning to Beijing in the next one or two days.

It turned out that Feng Yutang was a subordinate of Xue Huaiyuan before. Because of his personal behavior, he was not only beaten by Xue Huaiyuan, but also driven out.

After that, Feng Yutang always held a grudge and accidentally got involved with the eldest princess's man.

The eldest princess wanted to mine gold, but Xue Huaiyuan was a stubborn and unyielding man, so they had to plot against the Xue family of three.

The position of county magistrate was taken over by Feng Yutang. Feng Yutang had always been brooding over what had happened before, so he had tortured him a lot over the past six months.

Finally, in order to stimulate Xue Huaiyuan, Feng Yutang told him the truth about his children's death. Xue Huaiyuan could not bear the blow and suffered from soul-leaving syndrome.

Recently, Jiu Ning always had a knot in her heart. She wanted to ask Xue Fangfei if she could forgive Feng Yutang. Definitely not.

Then why could she forgive Tong Zhiyang? Because the people Tong Zhiyang harmed had nothing to do with her!

Afterwards, Jiu Ning returned to the Ye family and met his grandmother, but found that everyone was already packing his luggage.
