"That child must be dying soon."

What do you mean?

What do you mean by "almost dead"? Wei Yu's face turned cold, and she shouted angrily at him, "Don't you dare do anything reckless! The Marquis's Mansion values ​​Pan Ge'er very much. If you dare to harm him, the Marquis's Mansion will not let you off!"

As if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, Ding Ruguo looked at her innocently, "You won't let us go? Let me correct you, it's us who won't let the Marquis's mansion go! If it weren't for the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion, how could the Ning family have fallen!"

Wei Yu's eyes suddenly narrowed, then her pupils dilated, her gaze flickering. "Wh-what do you mean?" she stammered, barely able to speak.

What does the downfall of the Ning family have to do with the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion?

The jade is stiff.

The brain can no longer think.

Feeling a sharp slap coming at her, Yu looked up and heard Ding Ruguo say...

"Back then, it was Zhang Ruizhe and his father who betrayed and framed us, giving the royal family the opportunity to target the Ning family!"

"It was precisely because the Zhang family accomplished this on behalf of the royal family that the Pingyang Marquis's mansion was able to fully recover in the capital, gain a firm foothold, and become the object of everyone's admiration."

"We eliminated the Ning family, whom the royal family considered a cancer to their heart, but the Ning family had been kind to the entire Zhang family. It's one thing for them to be ungrateful, but to turn around and bite us to our death, how can they deserve to live?"

Yu looked at Ding Ruguo's suddenly ferocious face, the raging anger burning in his eyes, and a hint of madness.

This is the hatred that has been suppressed for fifteen years.

Then, the string I had been searching for in my mind finally came to me.

It turned out to be the case.

Ding Ruguo and Ding Xiayu spent fifteen years gathering supporters for the Ning family, and now they have seized control of the Ding family's business.

We have both people and money.

At the same time, it took a full fifteen years to weave a vast net towards the capital.

His purpose was to take revenge on the Marquis of Pingyang's family.

No, the revenge against the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion is probably just the beginning, a signal, telling everyone that the Ning family cannot be killed, and that they are coming back again.

Fifteen years ago, all those who climbed to high positions by feeding on the blood and flesh of the Ning family should not think about a peaceful life. They all suffered the same fate as the Ning family back then, with their families destroyed and their lives ruined!

Since Ding Xiayu appeared, the Pingyang Marquis's mansion has not had a single day of peace, and its reputation in the capital is now rotting and becoming infamous.

He drove his wife to her death, forced a respectable woman to become his concubine, and disliked his own son for being sick...

Isn't this killing someone without them even realizing it?

Ding Xiayu alone managed to disintegrate the Marquis's mansion from within.

In an instant, Yu remembered something even more critical.

Yu's expression changed, and she asked urgently, "Did you kill Xie Fuguang?"

"The fact that the Xie family took you in shows their stance on the Ning family case. No matter how despicable I am, I would never kill an ally."

Ding Ruguo even planned to use Weiyu as a pawn to get the Duke's mansion to explicitly support the Ning family, but he was afraid that this girl was too weak to speak up.

Yu didn't believe it and almost roared, "Then how did you even begin to approach Zhang Zhengming?!"

She's not a fool.

"It's fate," Ding Rugu laughed, pointing to the sky with a playful smile. "We managed to pick up two people who were trying to escape. The heavens are jealous of talent; Xie Fuguang is dead, leaving behind a cowardly and incompetent Zhang Zhengming..."

As he spoke, Ding Ruguo snorted coldly, seemingly thinking of something that angered him.

Yu quickly untied the ropes around her ankles, staggered to her feet, and suppressed her breakdown. "Where's An'er? I won't say any more. Give me An'er!"

"Give it to you?" Ding Ruguo found this ridiculous. "Back in the North, I knew from Zhang Zhengming that dealing with that kid would be too easy."

"However, I've heard him mention that his nephew is very intelligent. That's Zhang Zhengliu's child. I've heard about Zhang Zhengliu's abilities. The saying 'like father, like son' is something our ancestors passed down."

"I was thinking to myself, if I kill Zhang Zhengming and then let this child grow up, wouldn't he come back to kill me?"

Yu was so anxious that she didn't want to say another word to him, and when she ran out, she couldn't even open the door.

"As someone who escaped from a destroyed nest, I naturally understand that the smarter the child, the more they should be killed. Otherwise, if we let them grow up, wouldn't we end up like me now?"

Yu wanted to find a window, but discovered that the room only had one door!

"Actually, I'm not that scheming. An'er is going to the North. When he arrives, I'll find some children his age, play with him, and easily turn him into a spoiled brat who bullies men and women. Xie Shuang can't stay with him forever."

Xie Shuang has been investigating the true cause of Xie Fuguang's death. When he releases a little information, Xie Shuang will definitely go out personally, and then no one will be watching An Ge'er.

Is it too late to take action?

But Ding Xiayu insisted on doing it herself.

He probably wanted revenge for the child she had been carrying for several months.

What an idiot.

But that's fine too. In this way, when it comes to public opinion, it's just a case of a mother who lost her child seeking revenge, and it won't make people think about anything deeper.

"Are you trying to say that children are innocent?" Ding Ruguo said, "Back then, the Ning family had many dead, including the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and pregnant women."

Yu's eyes were cold, even revealing hatred.

"Have you forgotten the past because of fifteen years of peaceful life? Have you forgotten who you are?"

"What I'm trying to say is, the past is the past, what's the point of making a fuss now?"

"What do you think this means? Do you think the Ning family should make a scene?"

"And who has my family offended?"

“You have regarded An’er as the future hope of the Marquis’s mansion, but hope is meant to be extinguished.”

When Wei Yu walked up to Ding Ruguo, before she could even speak, she was stunned by one sentence from him.

"Among those who killed them was a branch of Zhang Ruizhe's men, and he personally killed them to prevent the Xie family from finding out."

Do you think I would lie to you about these things?

"Let's wait here and wait for Xia Yu to come back."

She clenched her fist tightly around the jade.

"Feel sorry for others, but feel sorry for yourself instead. Ding Xiayu became a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, are you going to become a concubine in the Duke's mansion too?"

Are you here to beg me for the sake of a member of the Zhang family?

A knock came from outside.

“Ange’er hurt Madam Ding.”

Ding Ruguo stood up, somewhat incredulous, and followed her toward the door.

It was pouring rain outside, and Yu saw that it was a small courtyard.

"Who hurt whom?" Ding Ruguo asked.

“An’er slashed Madam Ding with a knife…”

Ding Ruguo: "Idiot."

Yu had already disregarded many things and ran out.

The attendant said, "The city gates are already closed, and all the merchants in the capital have been searched by Xie Yugui's men. I'm afraid they won't be able to leave the capital today."

Ding Ruguo stood under the eaves and said, "Don't worry," then added, "Call over the few assassins who are with me. I have some instructions."

The road was easy to find. I rushed out and saw people ahead. I grabbed one and asked, then ran inside and saw that Ding Xiayu's arm was red.

Yu ran up to her and raised her hand to slap her.

The slap remained frozen in mid-air.

Chapter 148

Ding Xiayu: "For both public and private reasons, Pan Ge'er should die. For Yu, don't forget who you are!"

Wei Yu: "I know who I am!"

"It's good that you know!" Ding Xiayu also spoke up firmly. In an instant, her usual gentle and submissive demeanor vanished, replaced by a cold and ruthless aura.

"As long as An'er lives, the Marquis's mansion will shine brightly. The Zhang family will rise to prominence by stepping on the Ning family, and they will live a life of peace and prosperity by sacrificing the Ning family for the tragic deaths of its members!"

“He’s only six years old, but he’s already ruthless and cunning. He knows who he is and that everyone will protect him. He doesn’t want to get rid of the child, he wants me. He wants both my son and me to die in the Marquis’s mansion.”

“He has to die. The first Zhang family member to die will shake the foundation of the Marquis’s mansion. It’s like God is helping me.”

Wei Yu finally spoke, "Zhang Zhengming is not just a pretty face, and the Xie family will not sit idly by. If you touch him, you will not be able to leave the capital alive."

“I’m not speaking up for Ange’er, nor am I refusing to help you; I’m just stating the facts as they are.”

"Even if Xie Yugui finds out about the Ding family's business, he will soon discover some clues. Do you really think he's a pushover? It's just that his elder brother is too capable, which makes you underestimate him."

"Could someone who becomes the emperor's confidant be an incompetent fool?"

"Do you think Xie Yugui wouldn't dare to kill you? Or Zhang Zhengming wouldn't dare to kill you? In any case, you've already attacked the Ning family once. The Zhang family is probably going to be even more ruthless and precise in their actions. They're trying to silence you and don't want the Xie family to find out."

"Ding Xiayu, Ning Xiayu, you've lived for fifteen years, are you going to risk everyone's lives today?"

"Now, tell me, where is Anger?"

"Say!"

Yu's eyes were sharp and discerning.

Ding Xiayu: "When An Ge'er goes back, she will tell everyone that I was the one who wanted to kill her!"

"How about we take a gamble?"

“What’s the point of talking to you?” Ding Xiayu said. “Don’t go. Let’s leave the capital together.”

"I do not go."

"You're not leaving so you can be Xie Yugui's concubine?" Ding Xiayu paused. "Don't talk nonsense. I risked coming to the capital not only to tear the Marquis's mansion apart, but also to find you. If you're not here..."

"What if they can't find me?" Wei Yu asked.

Ding Xiayu: "That means that the Xie family's promise to help the Ning family was a lie. They took you away and then disposed of you."

Wei Yu: "You guys really have no kindness left."

“You didn’t see the horrific scene after that night. You don’t know how Uncle Ding and I survived. Come with me first,” Ding Xiayu said. “No matter how many people can leave today, you and I will definitely be able to leave.”

Wei Yu shook her head and took two steps back. "Where is An Ge'er?"

"I don't know. He stabbed me and ran away. This yard isn't very big, so we should find him soon. Once we find him, we'll kill him."

Yu ran out, and Ding Xiayu frowned, got up, and followed her out, with a guard holding an umbrella for her.

Yu ran around the area, and finally her gaze fell on a well.

As Wei Yu stepped forward, Ding Xiayu sneered, "Do you even need to come and see what's going on?"

Yu stared intently at the bottom of the well.

"Ang! It's me! Don't be afraid! Are you inside?"

With that shout, a head popped out of the water, a bamboo tube dangling from its mouth, allowing it to barely breathe underwater.

He kicked his legs and looked at Weiyu, then burst into tears, "Auntie..."

Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she was about to put the bucket down to fish it out.

Ding Xiayu stepped on the rope.

"Have you forgotten who you are?"

"No, I've never forgotten who I am, and who I should be!" Wei Yu yanked hard, pulling the rope away from his feet. "Now get out of my way!"

She struggled to pull on the rope, her wrists were tightly bound, and she was already shaken. The rain was getting heavier, and the rope kept slipping from her hands.

Ding Xiayu stared quietly at Weiyu, who was gritting his teeth and pulling on the rope.

"This person's mother is the one who caused you to suffer."

He turned a deaf ear to the truth.

Zhao Ruhui is Zhao Ruhui, and An Ge'er is An Ge'er. Not to mention, from now on, An Ge'er's only support and bloodline will be him.

Finally, it's about to be pulled up.

I just really don't have any strength left in my hands.

Ange'er sobbed, looking up at Weiyu, his voice trembling.

I was genuinely terrified.

His gaze was fixed on Wei Yu, who was gritting his teeth, when suddenly his body swayed, and then he fell down in an instant.

He was so scared he didn't even have time to scream.

The rope was stabilized again.

Yu gripped the rope with both hands, turned around, let the rope fall onto her shoulders, frowned, stood up, and walked backward.

Ding Xiayu frowned as she watched An Ge'er reach out and struggle to climb the well. She then walked up to him.

The person who looked over at Yu picked up Ange'er and held him protectively in their arms, unable to utter a single word.

"Zhang Huaishen, you're really lucky to be alive."

Ange looked up at Weiyu, then at Ding Xiayu, "Don't hurt Aunt Weiyu. In the Marquis's mansion, she is the most sincere to you."

"Fool, doesn't seem to be very smart either."

“I’m not smart, and you can’t pretend well either.” An’er said sternly. “Even if I hadn’t yelled that day, you would have fallen anyway, wouldn’t you? You’re trying to hurt my aunt and drive a wedge between my aunt and uncle!”

Ding Xiayu was taken aback. "You have no intention of harming anyone?"

"I have it, so you kill me. The reason I can run is because my father is protecting you from heaven. The reason I can't run is because your two unborn children are leading the way for you. But you, you deliberately fell down! You also drank something that would cause you to miscarry, didn't you!"

Wei Yu recalled that before leaving home that day, Ding Xiayu had obediently taken the medicine to prevent miscarriage.

"Your family values ​​your pregnancy very much, showering you with gifts like water without any expense. Why, after five months, is there still no pregnancy?"

"Ding Xiayu, do you dare say I wasn't used as a scapegoat?"

Ange'er wanted to say something, but Weiyu covered his mouth.

Ding Xiayu stepped forward, bent down to look at An Ge'er, and said, "Do you think all this can cover up your murderous intent?"

"No, you can't either. Your child was abandoned by you, which is why I sent him to be reincarnated so quickly!"

Ding Xiayu turned around, "Kill—"

Before he could finish speaking, something sharp pressed against his back.

Yu Kan was somewhat surprised when he suddenly rushed forward and pressed the dagger in his hand against An Ge'er's waist.

"Auntie, come quick! Let's take him away!" Ange shouted.

Wei Yu stepped forward and took the dagger from An Ge'er's hand.

Ange thought she was going to land on Ding Xiayu's neck, so she desperately grabbed Ding Xiayu to help her.

But then Wei Yu lowered his hands.

Ango'er's eyes widened in surprise.
