Of all the things that had happened, perhaps the one that had the greatest impact on everyone was not Ning Yi's sudden outburst, but his sudden statement that "Miss Nie should still be a virgin." As soon as these words came out, everyone had a bad feeling in their hearts, as if they had suddenly discovered that they had been set up.
This matter had caused quite a stir from the beginning. More than twenty women came back crying, saying that Ning Yi had gone mad. They went out to beat up the women he kept outside, and he actually went crazy and beat them. Of course, if that woman wasn't his woman, why would he beat them up? And after that, everyone made a ruckus, and Su Wenxing added fuel to the fire. Everyone was thinking about how Ning Yi would explain this when he came back. After Ning Yi came back, his attitude was unyielding, and he seemed to be a little angry out of humiliation. He kept leading the topic to the conflict in the family. If it wasn't for the fact that the woman was difficult to explain, he wouldn't have done this.
If it wasn't Ning Yi here, but some other member of the Su family, who showed such an unyielding attitude at the beginning, it was likely that Su Zhongkan would call the guards to arrest him and beat him up first. At this time, every family had its own rules, and if one roared in front of the elders, it would be terrible. But after Ning Yi had a great reputation in the Su family, after all. After his reputation was released, for a short period of time, others had no choice but to listen to what he had to say. After all, the guards couldn't take him down with force. It was only after he said those words that the crowd could turn around and think about it carefully. Could it be that this matter was fake? If it was fake, then what should they do?
After all, there weren't too many official standards to judge such matters.
If something like this happened to a normal family, the most certain thing would be that the man had the woman's slave contract. In this era, there were no such things as slaves. Even if it was a family servant who had signed a slave contract, if he was really killed, it would be a very troublesome matter. But if it was a woman from a brothel, and such a dispute occurred, even if the person was really killed, the authorities usually wouldn't intervene. If they did intervene, they would just casually pay compensation. If there was no indenture contract, if the other party was caught, it would be detrimental to the morals of the place, and it wouldn't be a big problem to kill him.
However, apart from these two situations, the other party wasn't a prostitute who had no background and could be bullied by anyone. What mattered was the background of both parties. Today's incident happened, where the other party tore someone's clothes on the street. As long as the other party had people, they could directly fight their way to the Su family's door. Even if someone was killed in the conflict, the other party would still be in the right. Even if they made a scene at the magistrate's residence — even if they made a scene at the Throne Room — as long as it was confirmed that Miss Nie was still a virgin, the situation would instantly become one-sided.
As for the rest, Ning Yi knew Miss Nie and even claimed to be her backer. That Miss Nie admired his talent and knowledge, and he respected her noble and unsullied character. He was actually able to express his feelings and stop at propriety. In this day and age, this was a f * * king wonderful story. Scholars, scholars, and the upper class all eulogized this kind of thing. The main point was that they didn't have any physical contact. The most powerful evidence was naturally that Miss Nie was still a virgin.
Of course, Su Wenxing's side didn't seem to have any evidence, and Ning Yi's side naturally didn't have anyone to prove that he didn't have any lewd relationship with Miss Nie on the spot. The only thing that happened right now was that Ning Yi beat up a family member in front of the elders. Su Zhongkan was able to react to this matter in an instant. He gritted his teeth and said, "Right now, no one can prove that you had an affair with Miss Nie! What proof do you have that this matter has something to do with Wenxing? You actually dared to commit violence in front of so many people. As soon as you marry into the family, I can immediately send you to the magistrate. Do you know that? "
As he said this, the surrounding people from the second and third branches immediately started shouting. Some shouted for him to be arrested, some shouted for him to be beaten up, punished according to the family rules, and so on. Ning Yi looked at these people and smiled. "You all thought that was what I was talking about. None of you understood what I said just now, did you!" Before he finished speaking, the family doctor had already come over. Just as he was about to squat down beside Su Wenxing, a deafening bang rang out. The shoulder strap of the doctor's medicine box was broken, and the medicine box rumbled and rolled far away. The doctor was stunned and scared silly. At the same time, a blood-curdling scream rang out again. Su Wenxing, who had been crying on the ground, was suddenly kicked in the thigh by Ning Yi, who had suddenly stood up, and his body spun half a circle.
These two loud bangs silenced the once again rising noise in the hall. Ning Yi pointed the gun in his hand at the doctor. The muzzle was still emitting green smoke. After a moment, Ning Yi lowered the muzzle. The surroundings had already quieted down. His voice was not loud, but he only said word by word, "I don't care if he's dead or not. His leg must be broken. Do as you see fit."
The doctor was still in a daze. Su Zhongkan shouted angrily. He took a few steps back and pulled out a steel knife from the hands of a guard. "I'll kill you!" Su Yunfang pushed the doctor. "Hurry up and save him!" On the other side, Ning Yi took a step back and sat on a chair. He looked at Su Zhongkan, who was about to rush over with the knife, and said, "Second Uncle, you better listen to what I have to say. When the time comes, whether you want to kill or cut, I will accompany you." How could Su Zhongkan give up just like that? Just as he was about to rush over, he was immediately pulled back by Su Yunfang. "This guy can really do it. Can't you see …"
After all, their understanding of Ning Yi was not as deep as Su Tan 'er's. All along, although Ning Yi looked gentle on the surface, he had always been ruthless against his enemies. At this time, he was not the kind of person who would lose everything after leaving the Su family. His background was already very deep. At this time, if Su Zhongkan were to fight with him again, no matter who was injured, in the future, Ning Yi and the Su family would probably not rest until one of them was dead. After all, Su Yunfang still had some rationality. As long as Ning Yi was still the son-in-law of the Su family, many things could still be done to him according to the rules. If he really left the Su family, although he would be criticized for a while, the Su family might not be able to fight him.
With his obstruction, in the end, Su Zhongkan could not rush over. The doctor hurriedly picked up the medicine box and came to see Su Wenxing. Ning Yi lowered his head and put away the gun. After a moment, he put away the saber. After thinking for a while, he propped himself up with both hands and stood up from the seat. "I'm really a little annoyed by your things …"
His voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself. But then, he said to the people around him, "In the first half of last year, we settled the Wu Family. In the second half of the year, we went to Hangzhou. Later, after the military disaster in Hangzhou, the news that Tan 'er and I couldn't come back has been spreading. You people thought that you saw an opportunity and began to steal the business of the first branch and take advantage of the first branch. Everyone saw what you did. The Wu Family and the Xue Family began to add fuel to the fire on this matter. Although the business of the Su family decreased, you are all very proud! After all, you have a lot of things in your hands … "
"Ning Yi, don't …" Before Ning Yi finished speaking, someone stood up and wanted to interrupt. Ning Yi suddenly looked over and said, "Su Wenji, if you speak again, I will break your legs!"
Su Wenji stared at Ning Yi for a moment, but he did not dare to speak. Ning Yi's eyes swept over the people in the first branch. "My father-in-law and the old master saw what you did. At that time, they couldn't say it because they were afraid that Tan 'er and I would really die in Hangzhou. But now that Tan' er and I are back, we have to start to settle the accounts. You have to start to spit out what you have eaten. To be honest, even if you spit out a part of it, you still have an advantage in business compared to when Tan 'er and I left here. "
"After all, we are a family. Tan 'er didn't mean to make you spit out too much. But some people are greedy and think that the first branch did you wrong and took advantage of your interests. Whether it is you, the Xue family, or the Wu Family, you all realized that the problem is with us, so you started to think of ways to solve the problem from the root, which is to let us make the problem. Coincidentally, you found a way to solve the problem between me and Miss Nie. Tan 'er is about to give birth again, and the old master has started to settle the accounts. This is your last chance … You can see who took the lead and who did it … You are really a group of f * cking geniuses … "
"Ning Yi, if you want to say who did it, just say it clearly. Don't make insinuations here. If you don't have evidence …"
"I don't have evidence today! I want to make insinuations! Because you are all participants! More or less! I am not going to prove it to you today! I am going to tell you what will happen in the future! " Ning Yi looked at the person who came out to speak, and slapped his palm on the tea table. "So you'd better listen to me."
"There is never a lack of people like you! You don't dare to take things from the outside, and only dare to plot against the people around you. Why don't your family and relatives beat you to death? You bully the weak and fear the strong, and bully the kind and fear the evil, but you can't do anything! Today, this is what you bunch of useless people did! Others can only swallow their anger, but I am different. "
"I married into the Wu family. I know you don't like me, and I have always looked down on you. So I didn't want to get involved in these things in the past. How you want to destroy the Su family is also your business. I took over the imperial business because Tan 'er was sick. I never mind that you have limited ability. Every family has mediocre people. In the past, the family was not powerful enough. After taking over the Wu Family, the business will be better, and your second and third branches can take advantage of the opportunity. If you think you can't do business, you can go sightseeing and recite poems. If you are short of money, you can take it at home or ask Tan 'er for it. The Su family is rich, and you can go outside to play with girls and listen to songs! "
"What I am afraid of is that you can't see clearly that you don't have the ability! You think you are powerful, scheming, and use all kinds of bad intentions on your own family. You can't do anything to outsiders, but you always think that you are the one who can do it! I am different from Tan 'er. I hate this kind of thing the most! Today, I broke his leg, not because of what he did, but because of the heart he had! "
He finished saying this with a cold gaze. "In the past, I didn't care about the identity of marrying into the Wu family, but that was because I didn't expect to have any dealings with you. But if you think that you can bully me like this, or force me to swallow my anger, then you are wrong. Today, it is not you who are waiting for me, but I came to make it clear to you. What I hate the most is this kind of thing. My family stabbing me in the back is more despicable than outsiders. If there is a next time, I guarantee that he will not only have a broken leg. Soon, I will be going to the capital, so today I will make it clear to you. You can think about it, or you can try. "
After saying this word by word, there was no more sound around. Ning Yi then said, "As for identity …" He couldn't finish this sentence in the end, because suddenly there were whispers. It seemed that someone had come over from the side door of the hall. Then, the people on the other side subconsciously made a path for them. The one who appeared in their field of vision was Su Tan 'er, who was holding onto the door frame with one hand. Her face was a little pale, and Xiao Chan and the others were supporting her from the side. Su Tan' er tilted her head, and her eyes were filled with anxiety and some worry as she looked around at everyone in the hall.
Ning Yi originally had an extremely cold aura, but after a few glances, his shoulders finally slumped. He frowned and said to Xiaochan and the others, "Why are you …"
Su Tan 'er slowly walked in. Her body was weak after giving birth. Perhaps it was because she heard the news and came over in a hurry, her lips were slightly open, and her breathing was quite labored. After coming over, she also saw Su Wenxing on the ground and walked a few steps. Others probably thought that she wanted to go over to check on her cousin's injury, but Su Tan 'er only watched for a moment and suddenly did something unexpected.
She reached out and overturned a chair towards Su Wenxing. The chair smashed into Su Wenxing's chest. Then, Su Tan 'er turned back, and with a sob, she pushed the tea tray, teapot, teacups, and fruit plates towards Su Wenxing. As she threw these things, she also cried. At this time, she was still weak, so she couldn't hit the target. Then, she was hugged by Ning Yi, not letting her move.
"Don't come out. Let's go back, we'll talk when we go back …"
Seeing that Su Tan 'er was like this, no one dared to say anything else. No matter who it was, perhaps they didn't like Ning Yi, but after so many days, most of them had already recognized that Su Tan 'er would be the future pillar of the Su family. Ning Yi supported Su Tan 'er to walk towards the side door. When they were about to step over the threshold, the sound of crutches came from the other side, and everyone began to salute.
Then, it was Su Yu's voice, a little tired, and also a little sigh.
"I have been outside the whole time, after seeing this matter … This is also good. Think about what Liheng said. If Tan 'er falls, is it really good for you? There are some things that the family should also think about. It is good to learn to do things, but for those who don't have the talent or the temperament to manage things, there is no need to force them. Doing anything is better than doing business. Even if you want to be a rich and idle person, the family, in the future, will be able to support you. "
After saying this, he had already approached the center of the hall. Vaguely, one of the old brothers said to him, "Today's matter … after all, we still need evidence … otherwise …"
Looking at Su Wenxing on the ground, Su Yu shook his head tiredly and coldly. "What the hell is going on today … Can't anyone see it …"
After saying that, he raised his head and looked over, saying, "Liheng, that Miss Nie, invite her to come to our house in a few days. Let the family, apologize to her in person."
