When Ning Yunjin left the palace, Ning Taoxu was leading Ning Yunxiang into Ning Jingxian's house.

The changes in the past two days made Ning Yunxiang seem to realize something, his usual arrogant little face was full of anxiety.

Ning Jingxian has not been awake since he fainted, and the medicine he drank has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep. Doctor Chen had told everyone not to disturb him before. If there is no accident, he will naturally wake up at noon tomorrow.

Even when he fell asleep, he didn't sleep peacefully, his brows were furrowed, as if he was having a nightmare.

If it is said that every child has an unfailing figure who admires in his heart, then the first one is probably his father.

Seeing his father lying on the bed with a pale face, Ning Yunxiang tugged Laning Taoxu's lapel uneasily, "Grandpa, is father sick? But because of grandson..."

Ning Taoxu glanced at his comatose son and sighed.

He only had such an only son, so he naturally valued him very much since he was a child.Although I have been away all year round, the relationship between the two is not estranged, but because this son is not with me, he was raised too square by his upright wife, although he learned to be tactful after entering the court. Some, but there is still no room for a little sand in the eyes.

After knowing that his son was directly ill because of the dispute with Peihua, Ning Taoxu felt very helpless.He is also a father, and he can understand his son's embarrassment. After all, the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, and he can't do it without giving up any of them.

But because of this reason, he became sick like this, and he also hated iron for being weak, how could a man with a dignified body of seven feet be unable to get sick because of such a small family matter.

Pointing at Ning Jingxian, he said to Ning Yunxiang, "Do you know where your mistakes are?"

Ning Yunxiang said timidly, "The grandson shouldn't poison the second brother, and shouldn't make the father angry."

"Whether you are really wrong in your heart, or just say it out of your mouth, but you will remember what Grandpa said next, memorize it by heart, chew it into pieces, and realize it carefully in the future."

Seeing his grandfather's serious expression, Ning Yunxiang quickly stood up straight, waiting for the admonition.

"Now because of the mistakes you made, your father is sick with anger, your mother will bear the fault of the blood poisoner for you, and the second brother who was poisoned by you will drag the body that was just assassinated to the palace to intercede with you .”

Ning Taoxu glanced in the direction of the palace, sighed and said, "If the emperor is looking for your second brother's sake, if the emperor is really merciful and only finds out your mother, he may be able to save you, but your mother must be a felony , you have to be mentally prepared."

Ning Yunxiang is just a real six-year-old child, maybe he is quick-witted and precocious, but like all the children in the world, he doesn't care about the consequences when doing things, and only relies on momentary joy.

The wrong things he committed now had such a big impact that he immediately burst into tears.

At this time, he finally knew he was afraid, and said in a crying voice, "Grandpa, what will happen to mother..."

Ning Taoxu knew that the child might be quite frightened, but he still had to say, "The criminal who poisoned the bloodline will be tried in the temple. If it is found out, the principal culprit must be burned at the stake, and the accessory must be hanged. Fortunately, your second brother Nothing happened, if only your mother is convicted this time, she will most likely be sentenced to exile."

When Ning Yunxiang heard that exile was a criminal law, it didn't sound serious, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandpa, what is exile? It doesn't sound like a felony. After all, the mother is a housewife. It's better for the grandson to do things alone."

Looking at his innocent expression, Ning Taoxu had no choice but to break his hope, "Most of the cases judged by the ancestral temple are higher than the ordinary criminal law. A hundred apprentices for three years, if one level is added, it will be a staff of one hundred and three thousand miles."

Ning Yunxiang's little face turned pale when he heard that there was still a "one-hundred-stick" rod, "If my mother is hit by a one-hundred-stick rod, will she still be alive?" He knelt on the ground with a plop, and cried, "Grandpa, please help me!" My mother."

He hugged Ning Taoxu's leg and howled, but saw that his grandfather didn't respond at all, he just looked at himself in embarrassment, "How about, grandpa or grandson, let me confess!"

"What's the use of pleading guilty!" Ning Taoxu shook his head and said, "If you are sentenced to exile, your future in this life will be ruined. Your mother only hopes for your success in this life, otherwise she would not be willing to take the blame for you. Besides , if your second elder brother enters the palace and fails to intercede, you mother and son will be punished together."

Ning Yunxiang sat on the ground dejectedly and began to cry, at this moment he really regretted it!

Seeing him crying sadly, Ning Taoxu did not comfort him, this is the cause he planted himself, so he has to bear the bitter fruit.

In fact, what he said also had a sense of alarmism. The sentence is like this, but when it is actually implemented, it is usually only [-]% of a hundred rods. It is an extremely cruel punishment for a woman who has never experienced hardship to stay in such a bitter and cold place for ten years.

After Ning Yunxiang's crying stopped a bit, Ning Taoxu continued, "You can't write two characters of Ning in one stroke. Brotherhood is the most important thing in life. You are luckier than your father. You have so many brothers." My sister helped the village, but you never knew how to cherish it, and even did such wrong things. Don't you feel ashamed when you think about the things you have done over the years?"

Ning Yunxiang thought of talking back to his elder brother, poisoning his second brother, and bullying his younger sister. It seemed that he had really done nothing good, so he immediately bowed his head in shame.

Ning Taoxu sighed as he spoke, "It's because your father and I have been too busy to teach you well. If I had strictly disciplined you last time, it wouldn't be..."

He paused, and stopped saying those meaningless words, "You should keep in mind what Grandpa said to you just now, and I will teach you how to stand up in the future. Also, this wrong thing even if you Even if the national law does not punish you, the family law cannot be ignored. On the day your mother is convicted, grandpa will practice the family law himself and punish you a hundred times."

Normally, Ning Yunxiang would have been so frightened that he would have burst into tears, but this time he just nodded and looked at Ning Taoxu expectantly, "Grandpa, can I still go see my mother?"

Ning Taoxu shook his head and said, "Your mother has already been sent to Zhuangzi, it's better for you not to run around at this time."

Hearing this, Ning Yunxiang lowered his head in disappointment.

He didn't know that Peihua was originally under house arrest in the courtyard, but in the end she made Ning Jingxian mad, and the old lady sent her out of the Ning Mansion in a fit of anger.

Besides, if it wasn't for the failure of the girl's education, Ning Yunxiang would not have caused such disasters by lawlessness, Ning Taoxu would also have resentment towards her in his heart.

Ning Taoxu didn't expect to be able to correct Ning Yunxiang's temper with just one reprimand, so he sent him back after saying these words.

When Ning Yunxiang went out, he saw his second brother leaning against the pillar, his pale face was full of sorrow, and there was still blood on his injured arm, his heart seemed to be shaken.

Seeing him pursing his lips and burying his head, Ning Yunjin walked past him quickly, and when he passed by, he sneaked a glance at him again. There was unmistakable gratitude in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.

As soon as he came back, he went straight to his father's room, but he didn't expect to hear most of the conversation between his grandfather and the brat.Ning Yunjin only thought that his grandfather was going to teach him personally in the future, and when he heard that Ning Taoxu was going to take the blame and resign, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Grandpa, why are you doing this!?"

Ning Taoxu didn't answer directly, but patted his head, "You are a good boy! Yun Xiang treated you like that, and you are willing to run around for him."

"Grandpa!" Ning Yunjin said seriously, "The grandson is also a descendant of the Ning family! After this incident, the reputation of the Ning family has already been damaged. If the grandson still makes trouble, wouldn't it make others look at the Ning family? joke."

"That's right. Our Ning family just wants to get together and let others see." Ning Taoxu said gratifiedly, "You have been wronged by this incident, and the Ning family is sorry for you. Since you have done everything for Ning How could grandpa not be able to do it if the family begged for perfection.”

Ning Yunjin was a little confused as to what the old man's resignation had to do with this matter.

"Idiot." Ning Taoxu couldn't help shaking his head, this child is always like this, shrewd in major matters, but occasionally he can't turn around, showing a childish side.He woke up and said, "Lack of strict family management is a serious crime."

When he said this, Ning Yunjin suddenly came to his senses.Although this incident is said to be a family matter of the Ning family, but after all, I am an official ordered by the court and a sacrificer on the surface, but now I have been poisoned and killed in my own home. Was referred to a book.

From ancient times to the present, although there are not many high officials who have been demoted because of this, it has a great impact on the official voice and the marriage of women in the family.

Now Ning Taoxu is still the head of the family on the surface, but everyone knows that the real head of the Ning Mansion is Ning Jingxian. If he is really ginsenged, it will definitely affect his father's official career.

Only when Ning Taoxu put the charge of lax family management on his own head, could Ning Jingxian avoid this disaster.After all, someone has already borne this crime, if there is really a censor chasing after him, then the other party is not kind!

"Grandpa, you are still in your prime..." Ning Yunjin looked at Ning Taoxu with some emotion, he really felt that Ning's family was a place with human touch - except for the two mothers and sons, being able to grow up in such a family is a must. own luck.

"Old man!" Ning Taoxu laughed at himself, "It's because the old man can't see it, so he has been occupying this position. If it wasn't for your contribution to saving the family back then, the old man should have retired directly when he came back from Zhili. Yes. All these years of glory are thanks to you. It’s worth it, it’s enough, and I should be dismissed from office and return to my hometown, so that I can enjoy my grandchildren.”

He asked solemnly, "Judging from your expression, it is the emperor's consent!?"

Ning Taoxu suddenly changed the subject, Ning Yunjin couldn't even persuade him, he could only nod his head.

The old man didn't ask him about the details, and sighed, "Yunxiang was spoiled by his mother. While he is still young, if he is still young, he may be able to change his temper if he is taught well. He was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and he doesn't know the sufferings of the people. I also don't know the preciousness of brotherly affection. After the spring, I will take him out on a trip, and always let him broaden his horizons and let him know where he is wrong."

Ning Yunjin looked at his grandfather who had made up his mind, and his heart was greatly shocked.Don't look at grandpa's appearance, but he is not young after all. Going out for a trip these days sounds chic, but where there is such a convenient transportation in the later generations, traveling a long distance is simply suffering.

Not only is it often exposed to the sun and rain, but there are even no roads in some places. This kind of travel is too much for young people, let alone old people like grandpa!

However, although Ning Taoxu's decision was made hastily, it cannot be questioned.Taking advantage of the civil unrest in Fujian, the already sealed yamen was busy again, so he sent up the confession written overnight.

After making this decision, the old man seemed much more relaxed!When Ning Yunjin accompanied him back from the yamen to the mansion, there was a guard at the gate to welcome him.

Ning Jingxian woke up
