Of course, they couldn't refuse to do it, since the lady had asked them. If they didn't, someone else would. If their family found out about this secret, how could they survive?

So this time I want to take a gamble!

I was so worried about what I did that day, since someone found out, but thankfully everything was covered up.

But after being dragged here by the old lady today, Miss Biao doesn't seem like the person others say she is—weak and easily bullied. She's clearly not like that at all.

Every word Miss Biao said was so sharp, leaving her son completely speechless and unable to get past her.

Now the old lady has ordered him to be beaten, and if he doesn't speak up, he'll be beaten to death.

At this point, it's better to tell them that it's one thing for the elderly couple to die, but their son can't die.

"You're still trying to bargain with me! I'll guarantee you all a complete corpse!"

The old lady's eyes sharpened even more, listening to what the housekeeper was saying, she clearly admitted it.

Haha, they're already on the verge of death, and they're still haggling here. I really don't know who gave them the guts.

"Old lady——"

Seeing the old lady's expression and her heart-wrenching cries, the housekeeper immediately knew that all hope was lost.

Should the body be kept intact?

The housekeeper kept crying and shouting, wondering why things had turned out this way in the end; this was not what she had wanted to see.

"What? You still don't want to talk about it?"

The old lady's voice rose slightly, and her gaze towards the housekeeper was icy cold.

"This servant says, this servant says... it was Madam who ordered us to do this!"

The housekeeper burst into tears. She had truly been blinded by wealth and honor. At that time, she should have pretended to agree and gone to speak to the old lady.

What should have been said has turned out like this, which is truly unacceptable.

"lady?"

Ning Lie immediately looked towards the Ning family.

Ning Jinyan also looked over in disappointment.

All eyes were fixed on Ning's face.

Ning was already panicked when the old woman came in. She knew that since the old woman dared to speak, she couldn't escape.

Now, there's nothing more to say.

"how do you say!?"

The old lady looked sharply at Madam Ning and asked a question.

"I did this and that, and I didn't do anything wrong!"

Even at this point, Ning Shi still refused to admit her mistake.

"You framed Qingyou, isn't that a mistake?"

The old lady looked at Ning Shi with a wry smile.

"How can this be considered? She covets Jin Yan, isn't that just wishful thinking? Haven't you ever thought about marrying her? My own son, such a good son, how could such a lowly woman be worthy of him!"

Ning Shi had a cold smile on her lips, and looked at Ye Qingyou with disgust.

"How dare you say that!"

The old lady immediately threw a teacup at her.

The teacup landed right in front of Ning Shi's feet. She didn't dodge, and the teacup shattered in front of her.

"Why wouldn't I dare! Is my son a ragpicker?"

Ning shouted loudly again.

"Since you're so unwilling, you can just say so directly. You say one thing to my face and another behind my back. You're actually capable of doing that!"
