Angry Banana

Chapter 326: Family Matters (4)

Night winds rustled gently, and the lanterns swayed slightly under the eaves. Access: \\(¨Complete¨Book¨God¨Station¨\\) to read high-quality literature for free. The coolness of late spring nights had already dissipated, leaving behind a most pleasant temperature. Ning Yi opened the window of his room to allow the air to circulate, then filled a bowl with soup and fed it to his wife.

The events that had transpired earlier had only just occurred moments ago. In the night, the tremors emanating from the various residences of the Su family seemed to stem from Ning Yi's actions. Su Tan'er's emotions were also clearly still reeling from the previous turbulence, but she did not ask Ning Yi anything about it, simply lowering her head to drink the soup, or gazing at Ning Yi with eyes that looked as though she were about to cry. But Ning Yi was unable to understand what was on her mind at this moment.

"That Miss Nie, I met her a long time ago. At that time, she was selling cakes in the city with a cart. I, Old Qin, and Prince Consort Kang all knew her. Later, when she opened a shop, we all offered some ideas..."

"Mmm."

The couple's conversation, at this point, was mostly limited to this. Such matters were, after all, always more trouble the more they were explained. After a while, Xiao Chan brought the child over for Tan'er to nurse, and she also looked at Ning Yi with complicated eyes. The child, while drinking milk, perhaps sensing the state of mind of the people in the room, instead began to cry loudly. The crying became a buffer, and the three took turns holding and coaxing the child. After a while, the crying gradually stopped. The child was placed on the bed, and its slightly wrinkled face appeared somewhat rosy in the lamplight. Peaceful silence enveloped the quiet night.

For Ning Yi, this event, although somewhat unexpected, was not entirely without meaning. Whether in the capital or staying in Jiangning, there was always a group of "family members" who were incompetent yet capable of ruining things, stabbing him in the back, which he found intolerable. Of course, it would be difficult to say that he could turn against them at any moment and directly clash with the Su family. Sooner or later, there would have to be such a warning. If such a thing were to happen again, he would then be able to truly take action. And after this warning, such incidents would eventually decrease or even be eliminated. After all, if he were to truly participate in high-level political struggles, having such a group of fools behind him would simply be gambling with the lives of his entire family.

And in this matter, the greatest beneficiary was probably Su Yu and the entire Su family. If the Su family were viewed as a business, it had reached a clear transition period. Initially, in order to select a successor, the three branches were allowed to govern themselves and produce results. But at this point, the dispersed power and competition among the three branches were greatly disadvantageous to Su Tan'er. The old master, during this period, wanted to strike at some of the forces in the family who did not submit to Tan'er, but such strikes were, after all, only temporary solutions.

In this matter, Su Yu was not necessarily satisfied or unconditionally trusting of Ning Yi, but at the time, he saw the best opportunity. The phrase "Those who don't have the talent or the inclination to manage things shouldn't be forced to" was intended to completely transfer the power of the second and third branches to Su Tan'er. The old man was truly decisive at the time, making a direct decision. A few words, lightly sketched, were all leveraging the aftermath of Ning Yi's actions to make a fuss about nothing. Releasing the powers in a cup of wine, the turbulence caused in the Su family was actually many times more severe than Ning Yi's warning. Even Ning Yi couldn't help but want to cheer for it.

This was the political wisdom that the old man had accumulated over many years of managing the Su family. If every family did not have such a person, they would probably not be able to last long, let alone grow bigger. With Su Yu present, one thing that Ning Yi could be gratified about was that after he really went to the capital, no one would stab him in the back and cause a major mess, because the old man would definitely suppress such a crisis that would affect the entire family. Of course, his last words to Ning Yi ultimately expressed his dissatisfaction with Ning Yi.

Inviting Miss Nie to the house to apologize in person, after Ning Yi admitted to being Miss Nie's backer, it was difficult to refuse. If Ning Yi and Yunzhu were truly unrelated, this matter could be turned into a minor issue, and the Su family would have no problems at all, and would even make a friend with a background. If Ning Yi and Yunzhu were having an affair, after receiving the apology from the whole family, the situation would become infinitely more complicated if Yunzhu wanted to enter the Su family. What the second and third branches of the Su family had failed to do, the old man simply accomplished with a few lightly sketched words, directly making a checkmate move in front of Ning Yi. Of course, one thing that Su Yu did not expect was that, at least for the time being, Ning Yi had not made any formal consideration for Yunzhu to enter the family.

"What good would it do even if I married Yunzhu back now?" The next morning, after running past the small building, when questioned by Yuan Jin'er, Ning Yi also said this, "Tan'er might not bully her, but she would definitely be mistreated in the Su family. After entering the door... she wouldn't be able to move around freely, and she wouldn't even be able to take a walk or avoid seeing those people..."

"But, but..."

"At least you're here to take care of her."

"That's true." At this time, Yunzhu had returned to her room to get something. Jin'er rested her chin on her hand, "But according to what you're saying, your old man is so powerful, will Yunzhu be bullied when she comes to your house? Otherwise, let's not go, and let them come to apologize..."

"Since... that old grandpa asked me to go, I'll go tomorrow." Jin'er hadn't finished speaking when Yunzhu came out of the room and sat down on the steps between the two. She was wearing a long dress, and her complexion appeared somewhat haggard, but her spirits were quite good. Although she had suffered such a change yesterday afternoon, Yunzhu felt that she was the one in the wrong. Ning Yi being able to come out to stand up for her like that filled her heart with an indescribable feeling. Whether it was shock or warmth, the private sense of satisfaction seemed to overflow from her heart.

She didn't tell Jin'er, but she had been thinking about this matter all night, thinking about various things about Ning Yi, hugging the quilt and lying awake almost all night, tossing and turning. Jin'er thought she was feeling wronged and didn't know how to comfort her, so she felt sad for half the night.

Ning Yi was somewhat surprised by Yunzhu's calmness, but after a moment, he said, "I'll think about it again."

Jin'er rested her chin on her knees, then looked around into the distance, "Will anyone be watching us?" Their relationship had been exposed at this time, and they didn't know if they knew that the three of them would meet every morning. The morning mist was hazy, and the three people sitting on the steps seemed to be wrapped in a small world.

After bidding farewell to Yunzhu and Jin'er, he encountered Wenren Bu'er on the way home. At this time, there were obviously spies from the Prince Consort's mansion arranged in the Su family's home. As soon as the other party came over, he gave a thumbs up, "I heard about what happened last night, amazing. You settled all of your family's people at once. The Su Wenxing who was beaten by you shouldn't be dead, right?"

"He probably won't wake up for a while."

"You also conveniently solved the troubles that might have arisen in the future..." Wenren Bu'er啧啧praised, "Although it seems like you don't care about anything, you really have a thorough grasp of the situation at home. A person like you is most suitable for helping our Secret Intelligence Division to gather information."

The two stopped on the banks of the Qinhuai River and walked forward. Ning Yi turned his head and asked, "Did you help investigate this matter?"

"Investigate what?"

"Who exactly did this? Is it the Wu family or the Xue family behind it? Do you have any information on your side?"

"Don't you already know?" Wenren Bu'er was stunned.

Ning Yi spread his hands, "How could I possibly know? Things came so suddenly. I'm not a god. If Su Wenxing hadn't jumped out, I wouldn't even know who was involved... That servant who was caught should have been interrogated by you before being released. At the time, I didn't think it was a big deal..."

Wenren Bu'er was stunned for a long time: "...You didn't know anything, and you were caught with a handle, you were in the wrong... You scolded them, turned around and bit them, and beat people into that state... Is that right?"

Ning Yi looked at him, as if to say that you're still doing intelligence work even asking such a naive question, but finally turned his palms, "What else could I do? If they didn't really have something on their minds, how could I possibly overwhelm them? I could only do that at the time. After seizing the high ground, it's just verbal violence."

"I thought you were very angry all along."

"I am very angry. Because I'm very angry, I must break Su Wenxing's legs, or simply beat him to death. Anger is the motive, but of course you have to be calm when doing things. In that kind of situation at the time, if I really got angry and scolded those people, don't even think about getting out of there alive today. Could I really kill my way out in front of a group of Su family guards?" Ning Yi smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, help investigate."

"I'm really a little afraid of you..." Wenren Bu'er muttered, "But the Secret Intelligence Division doesn't have much manpower in this area. The things about you people, we can only find out if we can. It's not certain that there will be results if you want to investigate like this. You have to be mentally prepared."

"Mmm, I know. I just want to have a bottom line."

Ning Yi himself also had ways to investigate this matter, and he didn't care if Wenren Bu'er couldn't find out. After the two had roughly chatted, Ning Yi jogged back to the Su residence. It was also at this time that in the tea house next to the road on the other side of the Su family, several people were sitting upstairs watching this side. The pedestrians were sparse, the morning mist was vast, and someone came up from downstairs.

"Brother Lin and the others have decided to act tomorrow night when it gets dark. That's when there are the most people, and the city will be the easiest to stir up chaos. Let's get ready on our side too."

"Mmm." Xi Junyu nodded, then looked at the brothers in the building, "Then let's also do it tomorrow night. After we act, we'll expand the chaos and kill our way out of the city."

"Everyone, please also help tell the others..." He stood up, walked to the railing, leaned on the railing, and looked at the hazy courtyard, then raised his finger and pointed, "This is the one." (To be continued.) Vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
