Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Ning Wenyuan quickly added, "I was originally going to report to the Marquis that the Ning family was going to replenish the granary for the Northwest Army. I heard from General Xiao that the Ministry of Revenue hasn't allocated the grain for this year yet, so we need the Ning family to make some money first!"

Since this was a matter of great importance to the military, it was naturally difficult for Zhan Yan to refuse.

He had no choice but to give Ying Yi a few instructions before following Ning Wenyuan to Lingyan Pavilion.

Lingyan Pavilion is the largest and most prosperous brothel in Cangliang City. It is beautifully decorated and has the feeling of a paradise on earth.

As for the girls here, they are even prettier.

We have everything from fat to thin!

Zhan Yan didn't look away, and his dignified and cold face really repelled many girls who wanted to approach him.

Ning Wenyuan humbly explained, "Marquis Zhan Yi, I really had no choice but to ask you to come to Lingyan Pavilion, because it is the only place close to the back mountain!"

Zhan Yan nodded and walked into the private room.

Ning Wenyuan immediately shouted, "Come on, bring us some wine and delicious food!"

Soon, several beautiful women in brocade clothes came in one after another, each holding delicious wine and food with fragrant aroma.

Ning Wenyuan winked at one of them, and she said charmingly, "Dear guest, this is the most delicious orchid wine in our Cangliang City. Let me pour you a glass!"

She poured a glass of wine swiftly, and when she was about to serve it to him, she accidentally spilled it on his clothes.

She exclaimed anxiously: "Oh, my hands are clumsy, I will wipe it clean for you right away!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she squatted in front of Zhan Yan.

When she stretched out her hand to touch his clothes, he suddenly swung out a sharp palm wind and swept her directly to the door.

"Ah!" She screamed in pain.

The expressions of the other women who were still thinking about it suddenly changed, and they subconsciously retreated far away.

Zhan Yan cast a pair of cold eyes on Ning Wenyuan: "Don't take advantage of the Ning family's contributions to have evil intentions towards me. You might as well say what you want directly. There's no need for such fancy tricks!"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Ning Wenyuan's face. He waved his hand and asked the women to go down quickly.

When there were only two people left in the private room, he knelt on the ground and said, "My Lord, my mother misses my sister. She hopes you can let her come back!"

Zhan Yihou frowned: "Ning Sui Sui?"

Ning Wenyuan nodded heavily. "Yes, Sui Sui is my mother's daughter in her old age. She has devoted a lot of effort to her. This time, her accident has dealt a great blow to my mother. She threatened to refuse food and drink, asking me to find a way to save Sui Sui!"

Zhan Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at him: "Do you know that Ning Suisui is guilty of treason? Because of her, several innocent people died!"

Ning Wenyuan said in panic, "I know. I just hope that Marquis Zhan Yi will show some mercy and forgive her, considering how much help my Ning family has provided to the court and Prince Li!"

Zhan Yan interrupted in a deep voice: "I didn't take her life directly because of the Ning family's previous contributions to the court. Ning Wenyuan, don't push your luck!"

Ning Wenyuan was so frightened that his face suddenly turned pale and ugly. He kowtowed repeatedly and vigorously: "Marquis Zhan Yi, please forgive me!"

Zhan Yan stood up and was about to leave, but he saw that Madam Ning had been helped in.

Ning Wenyuan asked in surprise: "Mother, why are you here?"

Old Madam Ning walked past him without saying a word.

She simply looked at Zhan Yan with a frown and asked, "Marquis Zhan Yi, do you really not want to return my Sui Sui to the Ning family?"

Zhan Yan interrupted directly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!"

Madam Ning angrily cursed, "You ungrateful wretch! Do you know how much our Ning family has contributed to the Northwest Military Camp? You are so cruel and heartless, aren't you afraid of being criticized?"

A flash of coldness flashed across Zhan Yan's eyes, and he said in a cold voice, "Madam Ning, sacrifice and benefit are the same thing. The imperial court has not let the Ning family suffer any loss. For so many years, the Ning family has been using the imperial court's name to seek benefits in Northwest Desolate City. Do I have to send people to investigate every case one by one?"

Old Madam Ning was so frightened that her face began to tremble violently. She knew better than anyone that the Ning family's affairs could not withstand investigation.

She originally thought that she could scare Zhan Yan, but she didn't expect that he would actually outmaneuver her.

How can this be good?

Just when she was panicking, Ning Wenyuan had already scolded her harshly: "Mother, are you getting senile? How could you be so rude to Zhan Yihou? You should apologize to him quickly!"

Madam Ning burst into tears and sobbed sadly, "I only have one daughter. I miss her so much. Now that I am half conscious, I just hope she can come back. Please, Lord Zhan Yi, don't treat me like an old woman who is about to be buried!"

Zhan Yan understood very well that Old Madam Ning was pretending to be old and stupid, but he was too lazy to care.

After all, what the Ning family did was not too excessive in Cangliang City. He could turn a blind eye and not break the balance here.

He didn't press her any further, and just said in a distant tone, "Ning Suisui committed a serious crime, so the old lady should just pretend that she never gave birth to this daughter!"

After saying this, he left as many people as possible.

Looking at his back, Madam Ning was so frightened that her whole body trembled violently.

She murmured in a trembling voice: "Wenyuan, did you hear it? What exactly does Zhan Yihou mean? He asked me to pretend that I had never given birth. Does he want her life? But her crime does not deserve death!"

Ning Wenyuan no longer wanted to indulge her. Her impulsive behavior just now almost cost the entire Ning family the fate.

He was really scared!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Mother, what are you doing? How could you be so rude to Marquis Zhan Yi? Sui Sui is your daughter. Do you think I and the children of the Ning family have nothing to do with you? You only want to save her, but you want to push the entire Ning Mansion into a trap. You are really old and confused!"

Madam Ning wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Ning Wenyuan: "Don't worry about this matter, go back to the ancestral temple on the mountain to worship Buddha and pray for blessings. Come, take the old lady away!"

Hearing his heartless words, Old Madam Ning angrily scolded: "Ning Wenyuan, you are unfilial. Is there anyone who treats his mother like you?"

Ning Wenyuan said indifferently, "If I am filial to you, I will be irresponsible to the entire Ning family. Our ancestors relied on currying favor with the imperial court to become a prominent family in Cangliang City. We must not let it be destroyed in your hands!"

Only after Old Madam Ning was dragged away did the entire Lingyan Pavilion become quiet.

At this time, the enchanting woman who had soiled Zhan Yan's clothes had already cleaned up and returned. She said with some remorse, "Master, I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I really didn't expect that Zhan Yihou wouldn't be tempted by beauty!"

Ning Wenyuan's expression suddenly softened, and he said soothingly, "You did your best. Marquis Zhan Yi and his wife are very affectionate. This is a well-known fact!"

The woman frowned, and a hint of stubbornness that refused to admit defeat flashed in her eyes.
