Yun Yi hurriedly pulled Yun Er along to work. After walking far away, he gasped and sighed. “Master really takes Miss Ning to heart.” Yun Er, who knew the inside story, could not suppress the desire to confide in him. “Not only that, Master even wants Miss Ning to be the main consort! I was so frightened that I had nightmares all night!”
It was rare for Yun Yi to have the time to be curious. “What nightmare?
Yun Er patted his chest. “I 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, ‘Then I’ll stir-fry 18 delicacies for everyone.’ Needless to say, it’s quite fragrant…” After saying that, he even slurped.
Yun Yi was speechless.
He asked Yun Er, “Do you think Master shouldn’t choose Miss Ning?”
Yun Er shook his head repeatedly. “Why would I doubt Master’s decision? If Master really thinks so, I’ll treat Miss Ning as our mistress. I’m just lamenting.
Yun Yi asked, “Then what if someone questions our mistress’s identity in the future?”
Yun Er sneered. ‘We’ll beat him until he shuts up.”
Yun Yi patted him in relief. “Well said. This is a qualified guard. You have to guard Mistress like this in the future.”
Yun Er didn’t think too much about it. “Of 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, “How much did you win today?”
Another person said, ”80 taels! What about you?
“146 taels. Let’s go and drink!”
Second Uncle Ning’s heart and hands instantly itched. He pushed Second Aunt Ning, whose face and body were becoming more and more swollen, away. “Go back first. I’ll walk around.”
Second Aunt Ning hadn’t seen him for many days and was a little reluctant. “Where are you going? Shall I accompany you?
Second Uncle Ning looked away irritably. “I’ve 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?”
After this trip to prison, the head of her household’s 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, “Fortunately, I didn’t 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. Let’s see if we can seize it!” That’s right. He originally thought that he would definitely fall this time. Who would have thought that there would be no way out? Heh, Noble Consort’s 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-“Four, five, six. Big!”
Damn it, he wanted to bet on “Big” 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 didn’t 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 didn’t he know how to be grateful?
He didn’t even come to see his parents when he reached home?
The more they thought about it, the angrier they became. They simply didn’t take the initiative to meet Second Uncle Ning and see who could outlast the other until…
“Open the door!”
“I know you’re at home. Come out!”
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 Ning’s 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, “Isn’t it just eighty taels? It’s not like I can’t take it out!
The people from the casino crossed their arms and sneered. “Take it out then!” Second Uncle Ning thought of his eldest brother’s family, who had made a fortune in the county, and his third brother, who was about to take the imperial examination, under his parents’ care. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was the most unlucky. He slammed the door and rushed to his parents’ house aggressively. “Father, 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 chief’s house that day and put the second branch back.
The village chief was so angry that he almost couldn’t speak. “Do you think splitting up is child’s play?”
One moment, she didn’t 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 child’s play?
Old Madam Ning stammered, but Second Uncle Ning was very thick-skinned. “My mother was muddle-headed earlier. If you ask me, Brother Village Chief, what you did was not right. I’m not around. How can you really agree to my mother’s request to split up?”
The villager snorted and threw the family separation document to them. “Alright, alright, alright. I can’t care about you anymore. Don’t come to me for your family’s matters in the future!”
Second Uncle Ning smiled from the corner of his eyes. If you don’t want me to look for you, so be it. You’re just a lousy village chief. Who do you think you are to try to control me?

After knowing this, Xiaoxiao smacked her lips. “The wicked will be punished by the wicked. Second Uncle and the old residence are really compatible.”
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 Brother’s 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..
