Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 401: The Stepbrother Forced to Give In (6)

But everyone could see that Ning Ning had completely distanced herself from them and only wanted to pay them back and have nothing to do with them in the future.

Even when Ning's mother went to see him twice, he avoided her.

In fact, this is understandable. Xi Ying is busy outside, and he can only be superficially nice to this adopted son who has no future.

Xi Liu bullied Ning Ning severely. Now Ning Ning even hated her own mother, so how could she be willing to associate with them?

When Xi Ying thought that his cash cow was ruined because of Ning's mother and Xi Liu, and that Xi Liu himself was so disappointing, he became so angry that he ordered Xi Liu to kneel in the ancestral hall for twelve hours.

Xi Liu was still not convinced and kept stiffening his neck. Xi Ying got even angrier and scolded him. While the father and son were arguing, they didn't notice an inconspicuous figure lying in the corner outside the window, listening, then quietly turned around and left.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Ning's mother walked quickly, holding her handkerchief tightly, and did not even hear the maids greeting her.

When she returned to her room, she called over her trusted nanny and whispered a few words in her ear.

The nanny curled her lips in embarrassment, "Madam, do you really want to do this? After all, Ning'er is your own flesh and blood, this..."

"So what if they are my own flesh and blood? His heart is no longer with me, so even if they are my own flesh and blood, it's useless. Besides, because of him, I was treated coldly by the master, and Xi Liu is also very dissatisfied with me. The more he compares Xi Liu to others, the worse the Xi family will treat me. I am the second wife, and the master and I don't have any children. If I am treated coldly by them again, I really can't live in the future."

"But Ning'er is about to become successful, and it will be the same if you rely on him."

"How is it the same? He doesn't care about me at all, otherwise he wouldn't have made it clear on the day of the competition. Since he doesn't care about me, even if I let him take me away, how can he take care of me wholeheartedly? Besides, every time he is in the limelight, the incident of that day will be brought up again, and I will be the one who gets scolded! Humph, this kid doesn't know my difficulties at all. I am a woman in the deep house of the Xi family, and I am not as free as he is as a man. If I don't please the Xi family, how can I live! Since he doesn't care about me, why should I care about him! Anyway, you should quickly do what I ask!"

"Yes, old slave, go now!"

……

The alley was quiet and gloomy late at night, with only the faint light of oil lamps shining from the windows of a few houses.

After the show, Ning Ning refused anyone's farewell and walked alone on the narrow path, her footsteps echoing in the empty alley.

Now that he had completed his apprenticeship, he no longer lived with Jin Shengyu, and of course would not return to the Xi family, so he rented a small courtyard for himself.

Recently, I feel that the courtyard is very comfortable to live in, and I want to discuss with the owner and just buy it. Anyway, he has enough money now.

After a few performances, the noise of gongs and drums made his head hurt. He thought it would be better to go back in the night and have some peace and quiet.

Just when she was relaxing, suddenly, she heard a noisy sound of footsteps in front of her, and a group of dark shadows emerged from the corner, surrounding Ning Ning aggressively.

They all had fierce looks on their faces and held sticks in their hands, which flashed cold light under the moonlight.

The leader was a burly man. He stared at Ning Ning fiercely and shouted in a rough voice, "Boss Ning, you are so arrogant. I invited you to sing in a party but you refused. Humph, today we brothers will teach you a lesson!"

"Oh, so how are you going to teach me a lesson?"

"You're looking for death! Brothers, attack!"

At the big man's command, several minions nearby rushed forward first.

A guy holding a stick swung towards Ning Ning's leg. Ning Ning dodged sideways easily. At the same time, she quickly stretched out her right hand, grabbed the man's wrist, twisted it hard, and there was a "click" sound. The man screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, another person attacked from behind. Ning Ning seemed to have eyes on her back and kicked the person in the abdomen. The person flew out like a kite with a broken string.

At this time, two more people attacked from the left and right.

Ning Ning did not retreat but advanced, her body as fast as lightning, rushing between the two men.

He blocked the attack from the guy on his left with his left hand, and punched the guy on his right in the chest with his right hand, and both of them fell to the ground at the same time.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leading man rushed forward waving a stick.

Ning Ning's eyes focused, and she slid to avoid the big man's attack, then moved closer to the big man and hit his ribs with her elbow. The big man felt pain and froze, and Ning Ning took the opportunity to grab the stick from his hand, swung it back, and hit the big man's leg, and the big man fell to his knees with a plop.

The remaining few people were frightened by Ning Ning's fierce skills and dared not move forward, their eyes were filled with fear.

Ning Ning showed no mercy, he simply took the initiative to attack, holding a stick, and knocked these people to the ground one by one like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves.

Ning Ning found some ropes to tie them together, and took them to the government office to report.

When the yamen officials saw that it was Ning Ning who came, they didn't even sleep anymore and gathered their energy to conduct a surprise interrogation at night!

In the Xi family courtyard, Ning's mother's trusted nanny rushed into her room and woke her up regardless of the fact that she was sleeping.

Anyway, Xiying was resting in the two concubines' rooms now and didn't even look at Ning's mother. She didn't have to worry about offending Xiying, so she rushed in hurriedly.

Mother Ning was worried and had not slept well. She woke up when she heard the noise. "What's wrong? Has something happened?"

"That's right, Madam. You should make a decision quickly. Something serious has happened. I didn't expect Ning'er to be so good at martial arts. The group of people he found were no match for him. He beat them up and took them to the government office to report to the authorities."

"Oh, then I'll take care of it tomorrow..."

"Madam, it's too late. The magistrate is holding a trial overnight."

"What? Didn't I tell you to tell them that someone invited Ning Ning to a church party, but he didn't go, so someone is holding a grudge against him?"

"That's what they said, but the magistrate has already used severe punishment, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for much longer."

"How could the magistrate be like this? Ning Ning has no relationship with the government!"

She didn't know what kind of people these officials were. The gate of the yamen faced south, so no one could come in without money. Even if Ning Ning bribed him with money, it would take time to get familiar with the county magistrate. How could the county magistrate work so hard!

"I heard from the county magistrate that he is also a fan of Ning'er's opera. I also heard that on the day of the competition, a steward from the palace went there, and that was the one accompanied by Boss Jin. I heard that the Empress Dowager loves to listen to operas, and she is tired of the operas in Changyin Pavilion in the palace, so she wanted to summon a few actors from outside. The steward came that day to select people, and Ning Ning was selected. Although he didn't make a big fuss about it, the county magistrate also knew about it, so he was so polite to Ning Ning, and said that he would send someone to protect him so that he wouldn't get into trouble! Hey, madam, what's wrong with you, madam..."
