A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times Chapter 153 – Chen Family

Chapter 153: Chen Family

Old Master Ning looked at the familiar faces of the people in front of him and frowned. These people’s faces were familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen them before.

When Ning Yue saw these people, she recalled the escape.

At that time, it was the Chen family who followed behind them.

These Chen family members were cannibals. Ning Yue did not have a good impression of them at all.

“Grandpa, we met these people when we were escaping from the wilderness,” Ning Yue whispered into Old Master Ning’s ear.

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, Old Master Ning immediately remembered. “Get up quickly. Don’t kneel and talk,” Old Master Ning said.

Although he didn’t like this group of people either, some things shouldn’t be so obvious. He would see what these people wanted to do first.

“Brother, please save us. We’re almost dead,” Village Chief Chen said.

“I remember that you’re the village chief of the Chen Family Village, right? What’s wrong with you guys? Get up and talk. You can’t explain it clearly like this and are making me confused. I can’t help even if I want to.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’m the village chief of the Chen Family Village. We’re honored that Brother Ning can still remember us.” As he spoke, the people of the Chen Family Village stood up.

“Sit! Yueyue, go pour tea!” Old Master Ning said to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue was a little worried. After leaving the door, she immediately called out the guards Jiang Ying had assigned to her. “Help me keep an eye on this group of people inside. If there’s any problem, attack immediately. You have to ensure my grandfather’s safety.”

“Yes!”

With the guards taking care of her, Ning Yue was a little relieved. She went to get a few cups of tea.

These people were not good. Ning Yue did not want to waste the ancient well water in the space. Other than Old Master Ning’s cup, everyone else’s was ordinary tea.

After bringing the tea over, Ning Yue listened to their conversation and knew why the people of the Chen Family Village had come.

“I have a disappointing son who joined the army in the border city. For some reason, he was suddenly framed for betraying the country and implicating his family. I had no choice but to come and beg you for help.”

He didn’t know what Old Master Ning relied on. He only knew that Old Master Ning had a lot of influence in Laifu Village.

After arriving in Laifu Village, he also wanted to live in Laifu Village, but the government did not allow it even if he was alone. Everyone in the Ning Family Village could live in Laifu Village, so he was sure that there must be someone behind the people in the Ning Family Village.

It had to be known that Laifu Village was the best place in the entire Laifu Town. It was said that there were nobles living here.

“I can’t help you even if you beg me. I don’t know those officials. How can I help you?” Old Master Ning said.

Moreover, according to the Chen family’s character, Old Master Ning did not think that they were being framed.

“No, Brother Ning, you must have a way!” Village Chief Chen clearly did not believe Old Master Ning’s words.

“Brother, I called you Brother because we helped each other on the way to escape. I’ll do my best to help if I can, but firstly, I don’t have any connections and secondly, I don’t have the financial resources. How can I help?”

“Brother, you’re too humble. You’ve built such a huge oil press. How can you not have money? How can you not have a way to live in Laifu Village?” Village Chief Chen seemed to have Old Master Ning in his grasp.

Hearing the people of the Chen Family Village say this, Ning Yue put down the tea and walked to the door to call a guard to inform Jiang Ying. When Jiang Ying received the news, he immediately rushed over. Looking at the people of the Chen Family Village, Jiang Ying’s expression darkened.

“Men, arrest these traitors!” Jiang Ying said coldly.

The people of the Chen Family Village were frightened. They looked at the noble Jiang Ying in front of them in disbelief. They were only here to ask Old Master Ning for help. Why were they arrested? This man who had captured them actually said that they were traitors!

“We’re not traitors! Who are you to call us traitors?!” Village Chief Chen was frightened to death. The two crimes of colluding with the enemy and betraying the country were punishable by death! He did not want to die yet.

“You know very well that Chen San is your family member. He colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country so he implicated his entire family. The emperor was kind and did not punish you, but you still dare to cause trouble.”

Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Village Chief Chen almost peed his pants.
