Chapter 87: Big Discovery

Thinking about it, it made sense. Be it the old general, Ning Zheng, or the current Ning Feng, they had both made a lot of contributions. No one in the royal court should dare to take the initiative to go against the general’s residence.

If it was the royal family, that might not be the case. Now that the battle for the throne had begun, which of the descendants of the royal family did not want to sit in that position?

They wanted to use this matter to suppress the General’s Residence. If the General’s Residence was in a desperate situation, they would naturally seek their help.

“Sigh.” An Yuan sighed.

“No matter what, it’s Second Master’s fault. He gave that group of people a chance to deal with him. If he does well, who can find fault with him? This is also the reason why I didn’t let him take up the position of old general. He’s not suitable.”

“When will Ning Feng be back?” An Yuan asked. “It’s almost the Empress Dowager’s birthday. He should be back soon to give his report, right?”

“Yes, soon,” Uncle Fu said.

“As expected of that person’s child! Even a good sister knows how to give birth. Their children are truly enviable.” An Yuan sneered.

There was nothing she could do if her son could not compare to her. She did not ask for anything. All she wanted was for everything to be under control. If her son’s life was free of worries, that would be good.

Hearing An Yuan’s words, Ning Yue’s eyes widened. Did she hear wrongly?

According to this old woman, wasn’t her second uncle her grandfather’s son?

This was ridiculous.

This woman was really bold!

No, she couldn’t let this woman continue investigating. If she did, she would definitely be implicated. It didn’t matter if she was alone, but she still had the Ning family behind her.

Ning Yue sneered and jumped off the roof. She wanted to see what Second Uncle Ning Yuan was doing. Perhaps she could get something out of him.

Ning Yuan was not a person with strong willpower. It was very easy for him to use medicinal powder on him.

After making up her mind, she quietly went to Ning Yuan’s room. She did not expect to hear the sound of an argument from afar.

It was Ning Yuan and Madam Lu!

Wasn’t their relationship as husband and wife very good? Why did they suddenly quarrel?

“Let me tell you, Ning Yuan. As long as I’m in this family, you can forget about taking a concubine!”

Madam Lu roared, followed by the sound of the door slamming shut and Ning Yuan’s cursing.

Under the moonlight, Ning Yue saw Ning Yuan’s figure heading in a certain direction. After some thought, Ning Yue followed him.

The direction Ning Yuan was heading in was not the entrance of the general’s residence, but the room of Ning Feng’s current wife, Qin Lin!

Ning Yue almost couldn’t help but cheer. She had gained too much tonight.

Although Ning Yuan was also a general, his vigilance was not as high as Ning Feng’s. Ning Yue followed behind him for a long time without being discovered.

He walked into Qin Lin’s room. After a while, there was a rustling sound. Ning Yue took the opportunity to climb onto the roof and pry open the tiles to take a look.

“My baby, I missed you so much.”

“You bastard!” Qin Lin’s coquettish voice rang out.

Ning Yue was surprised. The two of them were hugging each other.

As expected of the old lady’s son. He was just like the old lady. Both mother and son dared to have an affair!

If she didn’t take the opportunity to do something, she would be letting the Host down!

Ning Yue leaned against the roof and waited for everyone in the room to take off their clothes. Only then did she quietly take out a packet of medicinal powder and sprinkle it down the roof.

The two naked people immediately went limp.

Ning Yue clapped her hands and chuckled. She closed the lid of the tile. This medicinal powder would make them fall asleep for several hours, and they would sleep very soundly.

After doing this, she went to Ning Feng’s study. The door was locked, but fortunately, she had the all-purpose key.

There weren’t many decorations in the study. There didn’t seem to be anything special about it.

Ning Yue stepped forward and flipped through a few paintings. She didn’t believe that there were only so few things in the study. There must be something hidden inside.

Ning Yue searched for a while and moved the oil lamp on the desk. The bookshelf moved away.

“What’s this?”

Behind the bookshelf was a large box. On the box was a suicide note and a piece of yellowed paper. Liu Yun’s dowry was written on the paper. The suicide note was for Ning Feng.

She endured the pain and finished reading the suicide note. The gist of it was that Liu Yun loved Ning Feng very much. After Liu Yun died, the dowry would be given to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue put down the will and opened the box. It was filled with gold.

This gold had been left to her by her mother.
