âOh! Did you find out about her relationship with old man ning?â The Wen family head asked with concern.
âGrandpa, that woman said that she took her motherâs surname. Iâm guessing that she might be the ancestorâs illegitimate daughter.â Ning Qi âer was not willing to be ignored and quickly said.
âQi âer, donât talk nonsense without evidence.â Ning Haoran scolded loudly.
âBrother, how am I talking nonsense? isnât it all over ning city now?â Ning Qi âer pouted her red lips and said unhappily.
âAn illegitimate daughter? With that old manâs disposition, itâs not impossible. â The Wen familyâs master muttered to himself for a moment before he spoke slowly. Actually, the reason why he thought this way was because the great elder of the craftsmenâs Guild had said that Leng ruoxue was his God-granddaughter. However, what he couldnât understand was that if Leng ruoxue was old man ningâs illegitimate daughter, why would old man ning let his own daughter be the great elderâs God-granddaughter. Wasnât this a difference in seniority?
âGrandfather, this ...â Ning Haoran was speechless. How could his grandfather take such nonsense seriously? could it be that the old ancestor had a past record in this area?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âRan er, in your eyes, old man ning is high and mighty, unattainable, but in my eyes, heâs just an ordinary old man. When he was young, he was much more flirtatious than he is now, but now! His cultivation is higher, and heâs older, so his need for women is less. However, he has the most children in our generation, you should know this!â The head of the Wen family said with a hint of jealousy.
âYes.â Ning Haoran nodded. Of course, he knew that. Otherwise, the ning family would not have so many people.
âHowever, just keep this matter in your hearts. If this matter were to come out of your mouths, that old thing would not be happy.â Master Wen reminded. After his words, he further confirmed the relationship between Leng ruoxue and master ning.
âGrandfather, this matter is no longer a secret in ning city.â Ning Qi âer reminded.
âThen youâre not allowed to talk nonsense, especially you, Qi âer! Watch your mouth, or else trouble will come from it. â The Wen family head said worriedly.
...
âYes, Grandpa!â Ning Qi âer replied obediently. As for whether she could do it, only God knew.
âGrandpa, when are you taking us out of here?â Ning Qi âer asked again, looking at her grandfather with anticipation.
âI donât intend to take you away. Iâm only here to see you today.â The Wen family head said honestly.
âWhat? Grandfather, I can âT. I want to leave this place. I donât want to stay here anymore. â When ning Qi âer heard this, she immediately started to plead in a low voice.
âQi âer, grandfather is an outsider after all. Your punishment was given by the ning family, so how could I take you away without permission? If old man ning were to find out, Iâm afraid he would be even more dissatisfied with you. â The Wen family head explained patiently.
âBut ...â Ning Qi âer refused to give up and wanted to continue begging. However, she was interrupted by master Wen with a wave of his hand.
âQi âer, you should be more sensible now that youâre an adult. So, you have to help your brother as much as possible and donât cause him any more trouble. And that Leng ruoxue, not only are you not allowed to be rude to her, you have to fight to be good friends with her.â The head of the Wen family warned. Of the two children, he was most worried about ning Qi âer.
âYes.â Ning Qi âer nodded unwillingly. In fact, she was still very resistant to the idea of becoming friends with Leng ruoxue. However, she had seen many such things in the family, so it was not completely unacceptable to her. Besides, although she was willful, she was not stupid. She was very clear that if she insisted on doing things her own way and did not follow Grampyâs instructions, her status in the family and the Wen family would definitely plummet. This was not what she wanted. Therefore, she could only compromise.
âGood girl! Ran er, you guys can stay in the godly mainland for now! Remember! Donât act rashly!â The head of the Wen family reminded him before he stood up and left ning Haoranâs room ...
After the Wen family head left the room, he went straight to the third floor. The purpose of his visit was naturally to have a chat with the first elder.
In the living room.
The first elder, master ning, Mo Yan, Liu Feng, and Liu Yue all looked at master Wen, and none of them spoke.
âGrand Elder, can I have a word with you in private?â After a long while, the Wen family head spoke indifferently.
âThereâs no need to talk alone! Donât be afraid! Theyâre not outsiders, so they wonât leak the contents of our conversation. â The first elder promised with a serious expression.
âOh! Actually, I have something to ask you, Grand Elder. â The head of the Wen family said after a pause.
âI donât dare to ask for advice. If you have something to say, just say it! Donât waste everyoneâs time. â The great elder reminded. In fact, he also had something to ask this old pestilence.
âWe havenât seen each other for so many years, but the great elder is still so direct.â The head of the Wen family teased.
âYup! Iâm a rough person, if you want me to be as erudite as you, I really canât stand it. â The great elder said proudly. Obviously, he took the old God of plagues âwords as a compliment.
âFirst elder, Iâve heard some things, so I want to confirm it with you.â The head of the Wen family changed the topic.
âOh, then what do you want to confirm? As long as I know, I will tell you the truth. â The first elder said generously.
âI heard that master ning has an illegitimate daughter?â The head of the Wen family did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
âUh! Who did you hear this from?â The great elderâs forehead was full of black lines, and he looked at master ning again before asking.
âThis matter is no longer a secret in ning city. I heard about it the moment I entered ning city.â The Wen family head said very honestly. Of course, he couldnât say that it was ning Qi âer who told him about this. Otherwise, the old man of the ning family would make things difficult for the Qiâ er siblings!
âIâve been in ning city for quite some time. Why havenât I heard of it?â The great elder was puzzled. Was this considered a case of âthereâs no smoke without fire â? However, who was the one who started this wind?
In reality, they had not heard of this matter mainly because they rarely left the inn. Furthermore, no one dared to gossip in their ears. After all, the rumors were about the master of the main family. Who would dare to gossip in front of Leng ruoxue and the others? Wasnât that courting death? Therefore, those who knew about this matter naturally kept it a secret.
