Yun Yi hurriedly pulled Yun Er along to work. After walking far away, he gasped and sighed. âMaster really takes Miss Ning to heart.â Yun Er, who knew the inside story, could not suppress the desire to confide in him. âNot only that, Master even wants Miss Ning to be the main consort! I was so frightened that I had nightmares all night!â
It was rare for Yun Yi to have the time to be curious. âWhat nightmare?
Yun Er patted his chest. âI dreamed that His Majesty was holding a banquet and was letting the princes and concubines perform their talents when our Third Princess Consort jumped up and shouted, âThen Iâll stir-fry 18 delicacies for everyone.â Needless to say, itâs quite fragrantâ¦â After saying that, he even slurped.
Yun Yi was speechless.
He asked Yun Er, âDo you think Master shouldnât choose Miss Ning?â
Yun Er shook his head repeatedly. âWhy would I doubt Masterâs decision? If Master really thinks so, Iâll treat Miss Ning as our mistress. Iâm just lamenting.
Yun Yi asked, âThen what if someone questions our mistressâs identity in the future?â
Yun Er sneered. âWeâll beat him until he shuts up.â
Yun Yi patted him in relief. âWell said. This is a qualified guard. You have to guard Mistress like this in the future.â
Yun Er didnât think too much about it. âOf course. We still have to accompany Master until Little Master grows up under your leadership, Big Brother!
The two of them used Qinggong. In less than an hour, the two of them walked around the casino a few times. Hence, when Second Uncle Ning came out of the county office with his fingerprint pressed, took the tofu from Second Aunt Ning, and finished it in two to three bites, he heard two gamblers say excitedly, âHow much did you win today?â
Another person said, â80 taels! What about you?
â146 taels. Letâs go and drink!â
Second Uncle Ningâs heart and hands instantly itched. He pushed Second Aunt Ning, whose face and body were becoming more and more swollen, away. âGo back first. Iâll walk around.â
Second Aunt Ning hadnât seen him for many days and was a little reluctant. âWhere are you going? Shall I accompany you?
Second Uncle Ning looked away irritably. âIâve been in prison for so many days and now I want to bask in the sun to relax. Why do you have to ruin my mood?
Did you bring money?â
After this trip to prison, the head of her householdâs temper had grown. Second Aunt Ning did not want to get into trouble. Moreover, she had been busy for days and her stomach was not very comfortable. She could only give him the pouch and walk away slowly with her head lowered.
As soon as she left, Second Uncle Ning went straight to the casino. At first, he really won a few rounds, but unknowingly, not only did he lose all his money, but he also owed the casino 20 taels.
However, someone beside him muttered, âFortunately, I didnât give up just now and borrowed money to gamble a big one. Look, we have the money to buy a house now! The heavens still give us a chance. Letâs see if we can seize it!â Thatâs right. He originally thought that he would definitely fall this time. Who would have thought that there would be no way out? Heh, Noble Consortâs birthday that had nothing to do with him could also let him escape.
However, he had suffered a double loss. His future would not be easy. But then again, since he was so lucky because of a benefactor, he must be able to counterattack in the future.
Just as he was thinking, the dealer had already started a new round-âFour, five, six. Big!â
Damn it, he wanted to bet on âBigâ just now! As expected, he should seize the opportunity! If he missed it, he would lose everything!
With this thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and walked straight to the loan office.
When Second Uncle Ning left the casino, he was a little distracted and fell asleep the moment he reached home.
Second Aunt Ning wanted to ask a few questions, but he was covered in a blanket and clearly didnât want to talk to her.
Although the second branch had split up, they still lived in their original house. Hence, they still lived in the same courtyard as Old Madam Ning and Old Sir Ning. When they found out that he had returned, the old couple was unwilling to face him at first. Later on, they felt that this son was outrageous. It was clearly them who paid to redeem him. Why didnât he know how to be grateful?
He didnât even come to see his parents when he reached home?
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They simply didnât take the initiative to meet Second Uncle Ning and see who could outlast the other untilâ¦
âOpen the door!â
âI know youâre at home. Come out!â
It was not until the unfamiliar, yet somehow familiar scene played out again. The door of the old residence was smashed open again. This time, it was the people from the gambling house.
Knowing that Second Uncle Ning was in debt as soon as he was released from prison, Old Sir Ning and Old Madam Ningâs first reaction was to close the door with a clang and pretend that it had nothing to do with them.
Could Second Uncle Ning let them have an easy time?
That was definitely not possible. Second Uncle Ning, who was woken up by the knocking on the door, rubbed his eyes and said in a disdainful tone, âIsnât it just eighty taels? Itâs not like I canât take it out!
The people from the casino crossed their arms and sneered. âTake it out then!â Second Uncle Ning thought of his eldest brotherâs family, who had made a fortune in the county, and his third brother, who was about to take the imperial examination, under his parentsâ care. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was the most unlucky. He slammed the door and rushed to his parentsâ house aggressively. âFather, Mother, open the door. If you want Third Brother to take the examination in peace, take out the silver!
Old Madam Ning wanted to pretend that she was not around, but Second Uncle Ning, who knew her personality well, was unwilling to give up until he achieved his goal. Not only did he force her to empty her pockets, but he also made her go to the village chiefâs house that day and put the second branch back.
The village chief was so angry that he almost couldnât speak. âDo you think splitting up is childâs play?â
One moment, she didnât wait for her son to agree to the separation, and the next moment, she wanted to cancel the separation for no reason! Did she think this was a joke or childâs play?
Old Madam Ning stammered, but Second Uncle Ning was very thick-skinned. âMy mother was muddle-headed earlier. If you ask me, Brother Village Chief, what you did was not right. Iâm not around. How can you really agree to my motherâs request to split up?â
The villager snorted and threw the family separation document to them. âAlright, alright, alright. I canât care about you anymore. Donât come to me for your familyâs matters in the future!â
Second Uncle Ning smiled from the corner of his eyes. If you donât want me to look for you, so be it. Youâre just a lousy village chief. Who do you think you are to try to control me?

After knowing this, Xiaoxiao smacked her lips. âThe wicked will be punished by the wicked. Second Uncle and the old residence are really compatible.â
It was unknown who tortured who first.
Ning Fengnian once again recalled the scene when he was seriously injured. It turned out that his life could not compare to Second Brotherâs ridiculous gambling debt.
It had to be said that Second Uncle Ning was really a rare wonder in the world. Back then, he felt that it was reasonable for him to do whatever he wanted to the eldest branch. Now, he even exerted this shameless spirit to the extreme. Of course, this time, he used it on his parents.
Old Madam Ning never expected that the vampire she had painstakingly raised would end up sucking her own blood. Other than smoking tobacco and sighing, Old Sir Ning could not help at all. Seeing that the money at home was running out bit by bit, she was overwhelmed with regret. She could not help but think of her eldest son, who had always been obedient..
