“Young master! Although their actions were a little inappropriate, they were also out of love for their son. Young master, isn’t it a little too much to punish them to work in Bian city for a year?” The nineteenth elder couldn’t help but ask.

This couple were the descendants of his bloodline. As the saying goes, you have to look at the owner before you hit the dog! As such, in his opinion, ning haolan’s decision to banish his descendants to Biancheng was a slap to his face. Biancheng wasn’t a good place to live in, not to mention its remote terrain. The living conditions there were also extremely harsh. However, that was the place where the ning family exiled its clansmen for their wrongdoings. At the same time, the ning family owned two crystal mines there. So, after being sent there, they had to adapt to the climate there and work in the mines for a year. Such a punishment was already considered heavy for the direct family members.

However, he didn’t want to fall out with ning haolan over such a small matter, so even though he was displeased, he still spoke in a relatively gentle tone.

“It’s only been a year. Can’t they bear this little bit of suffering? Nineteenth elder, the family has its own rules and regulations. If they don’t work for a year in Bian city, do you have a better punishment, nineteenth elder?” Ning haolan said with a faint smile.

“Uh!” The nineteenth elder was rendered speechless. What good plan could he have come up with? ning haolan would never agree to it. However, he was not willing to watch as his junior was sent to Biancheng to suffer. At that thought, he sneaked a glance at the elders sitting in front of him, hoping that they would speak up for him. However, the elders did not even look at him. Even the elders who were on good terms with him did not want to get involved in this matter. He couldn’t help but feel a little angry, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he couldn’t possibly offend the elders present just because of two descendants.

Seeing that 19th elder had stopped speaking, Ning Yuan said firmly,””Since no one objects, we’ll do as young master says and send them to work in Biancheng for a year.”

After Ning Yuan finished speaking, he ordered the guards to take ning Duan’s parents away. When ning Duan saw his parents being taken away, he was a little sad, but he did not dare to show it.

After the farce in the meeting hall ended, ning haolan brought ning Duan back to LAN garden.

In ning haolan’s study.

He sat in his chair and looked at the panicked ning Duan. He said with a faint smile,”What, you want to plead for your parents?”

“I, I don’t dare! Master’s punishment for them is already considered light. ” Ning Duan lowered his head and said softly.

“Do you really think so?” Ning haolan asked indifferently.

“Mm! I have no dissatisfaction with master’s punishment. ” Ning Duan quickly expressed his position. In truth, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. Who asked his life to be in the hands of others?

“Ning Duan! I want you to understand that if I don’t punish your parents for offending their superiors, how will the public be convinced in the future? However, since you’re my man now, I’ll naturally take care of your parents. I’ll inform the steward in Biancheng and have them arrange some easy work for your parents. A year’s time will pass very quickly. If they perform well, I’ll also let them return to the main city earlier. ” Ning haolan promised. He was giving ning Duan a sweet date after giving him a slap in the face. His main purpose was to appease ning Duan’s heart and make him loyal to him.

“Thank you for your thoughtfulness, master.” As expected, ning Duan was very happy to hear ning haolan’s words.

“Master! Why didn’t you let me tell you the truth in the meeting hall just now?” Ning Duan couldn’t help but ask after he was assured about his parents.

“It’s not the time yet,” Ning haolan sighed.

“Master! “Fifth young lady, she …” Ning Duan had only spoken half a sentence before he immediately stopped. He had originally wanted to say that fifth young lady was master’s younger sister, so master must be in a difficult position! However, he suddenly remembered that the relationship between his master and the fifth miss was not good. To a certain extent, his master even hated this sister. Although this was not a secret in the ning family, no one dared to gossip in front of his master.

“Don’t mention her anymore. Two days later, I’ll send someone to send your parents to Biancheng. I’ll give you two days off. Go and spend some time with them!” Ning haolan said after some thought.

“Thank you, master!” When ning Duan heard that he could stay with his parents for two days, he was overjoyed. After bowing to ning haolan, he left the study.

Looking at ning Duan’s back, he couldn’t help but think of the dark Tiger King’s song that he had heard in Leng ruoxue’s house. ‘A child with a mother is like a treasure, a child without a mother is like a blade of grass’. He was deeply touched now. Perhaps ning Duan’s status was not as high as his, but ning Duan had his parents ‘love, while he had been alone since he was young. If it wasn’t for his ancestor’s love, it was hard to say whether he could have grown up safely.

Putting away his sadness, ning haolan left the study and walked toward the garden.

Cheng Xuan was the only one in the garden. He sat on a stone chair, and the stone table in front of him was filled with all sorts of delicacies. He ate wildly without a care for his image, and ning haolan could not help but laugh when he saw this.

“If your admirers see their idol eating in such a manner, I wonder if they’ll regret it.” Ning haolan teased before taking a seat across from Cheng Xuan.

“Who has the time to care about what they think!” Cheng Xuan said nonchalantly as he gnawed on a large chicken leg in his hand.

“Where are Leng ruoxue and the rest?” Ning haolan couldn’t help but ask when he saw that chengxuan was alone.

“They’ve gone back,” Cheng Xuan said as he ate.

“Oh!” Ning haolan nodded. He did not know why, but he felt a little disappointed when Leng ruoxue was not around.

“Are you done with your things?” “What’s wrong?” Cheng Xuan asked again, not sensing anything unusual about ning haolan.

“Yes, I’m fine now.” Ning haolan nodded.

“Oh right, what do you plan to do with your troublesome sister?” Cheng Xuan asked curiously.

“What else can we do? of course, we’ll deal with him according to the clan rules.” Ning haolan replied honestly.

“What I mean is that if you want to deal with Ning Xi ‘er, I’m afraid you’ll face some resistance.” Cheng Xuan said. He was a bystander, and he was a good friend of ning haolan ‘s, so he naturally had to think a little more on his behalf.

“You mean uncle?” Ning haolan’s head was throbbing. It was indeed difficult to deal with eldest uncle. If it weren’t for him doting on Ning Xi ‘er all these years, how could a mere concubine’s daughter like her be able to strut around in the ning family’s main residence?

“He can be considered one of them! However, if he knew about Ning Xi ‘er’s past actions, I’m afraid he’d be extremely disappointed. The resistance I’m referring to is mainly those old fogeys in your ning family. They probably won’t let go of such a good chess piece like Ning Xi’ er. ” Cheng Xuan said. In a family like theirs, unless it was a woman with extremely high talent, women were just pawns for marriage alliances. Furthermore, Ning Xi ‘er was extremely beautiful. Even if she made a mistake, in the eyes of some people, she would not be easily dealt with. However, he knew very well that haolan was determined to kill Ning Xi’ er, not just because she had done something wrong.
