A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times Chapter 443 – 443 Truth

443 Truth

Ning Yue went back and told Old Master Ning what had happened. “Grandpa, so don’t worry. This has nothing to do with us.”

Old Master Ning sighed heavily. Regardless of whether this matter had anything to do with the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence, he was quite sad.

“No matter what, it’s still a life. I still feel a little uncomfortable that someone died like this,” Old Master Ning said.

Ning Yue sighed. Her grandfather was a very kind person. She could not let this matter become her grandfather’s inner demon.

!!

“Grandpa, Zhang Si doesn’t have any family. All we can do is sweep his grave and offer incense on his death anniversary every year,” Ning Yue said.

“At this point, that’s all we can do.” Old Master Ning sighed.

The atmosphere at home was gloomy all day. Ning Yue wanted to comfort him, but she couldn’t say it.

The next day, the oppressive atmosphere improved a lot. Jiang Ying also came over.

He told the Ning family about the emperor’s punishment of the murderer. “Grandpa has nothing to do with the murder. It’s a grudge between them.”

After Jiang Ying explained, Ning Yue casually found a reason to call him out.

She asked, “Jiang Ying, let me ask you. Did anyone instruct Zhang San to frame Grandpa? Also, is Zhang Si’s death really that simple?”

Jiang Ying was stunned. He didn’t expect Ning Yue’s guess to be so accurate. “Zhang Si’s death isn’t simple. Someone did instruct Zhang San to do this. Brother has already found the real culprit behind Zhang Fourth’s death. The murderer has a grudge against Zhang Si. The mastermind behind it plans to deal with the entire Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence. He used Grandpa’s habit of frequenting the teahouse to secretly cause conflict between them. You know what happened after that.”

Ning Yue frowned tightly. In the end, she asked Jiang Ying, “Who’s the mastermind? Why is he targeting the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence? Does that mastermind have a grudge against the Marquise of Dingyun’s Relationship?”

“Yueyue, there’s not only one person behind the entire matter. There are a few families. They want my brother to confer them a noble title, but this spot has been taken by the Ning family. Naturally, they hate them. Those nobles who originally didn’t get along naturally came together at this moment to deal with the Ning Family together. They did it too secretly. There’s no evidence.”

“How can there be no evidence? Where’s Zhang San? Zhang San is living evidence!” Ning Yue said.

Jiang Ying sighed. “You’re right. Zhang San is living evidence, but Zhang San was instigated by the murderer to accuse the Ning family at the supreme court. Although the murderer knew that the supreme court would definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, with Zhang San’s death and the pressure of public opinion, they wanted the supreme court to make a wrong judgment. Unfortunately, their wishful thinking was wrong.”

Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ning Yue felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse. She was extremely cold.

These people were too terrifying. They actually used the weakness of human nature to manipulate this matter. If they were weaker, would the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence suffer?

Seeing Ning Yue like this, Jiang Ying’s heart ached. “Yueyue, don’t worry. I definitely won’t let you suffer like this again.”

Those people dared to have designs on the Ning family. He would definitely make them pay the price.

Jiang Ying’s gaze was firm as he brought Ning Yue into the palace.

He told the emperor the entire story. When the emperor heard the truth, his first reaction was the same as Ning Yue’s. He was very surprised.

“Bastard, what a bastard! I can confer a noble title to whoever I want. How dare they deal with the Ning family?” the emperor said through gritted teeth.

This matter was not only a blow to the Ning family, but also a slap to his face.

It was his own idea to confer a title to Old Master Ning. It was his imperial edict.

Was that group of people dissatisfied with him? They were protesting against the Ning family!

The more the emperor thought about it, the more displeased he became. “I know that those rebel princes have secretly roped in these families. They’re more or less related to the rebel princes.”

“If we deal with those rebellious princes, it will affect their interests. They are naturally unhappy, so they want to get back at me.” The emperor sighed as he spoke.
