Chapter 1110: Chapter 1099: Nalan Yanfeng
Upon hearing the three words “Young Mistress” ntioned by the man in black under the tent, a dazzling light instantly flashed in Ning Qingfeng’s eyes, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
But then, Ning Qingfeng frowned, his face gradually becoming sullen. He waved his sleeve angrily and said, “You dog servant, don’t you know that Nalan Yanfeng and I have been separated for a long ti? She’s been back at the Nalan Family in Northern Country for over a year now. Why should I care about her mood?”
Nalan Yanfeng, the eldest daughter of the top family in Northern Country City, the Nalan Clan. Her father, Nalan De, is the number one cultivator in Northern Country City. With countless devoted followers under his command, he holds an unchallenged position in the entire Northern Country City.
She is Ning Qingfeng’s little wife!
Back then, it was precisely because Ning Qingfeng valued the power of the Nalan Clan that he begged Ning Qiankun to propose marriage despite Nalan Yanfeng being ten years older than him, bringing the eldest daughter of the Nalan Clan, Nalan Yanfeng, into the family.
However, the good tis didn’t last long. Although Nalan Yanfeng’s arrival did solidify Ning Qingfeng’s position in the Ning Family of Dragon City, Ning Jianyang dared not stand tall as the eldest son in front of him for a ti.
But with Nalan Yanfeng ca her arrogant and domineering nature.
Ning Qingfeng was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and never faced any grievances. Yet in front of this wife who was ten years older, he frequently suffered beatings and insults, not to ntion the daily sarcastic behavior too nurous to count.
Most crucially, in the Ning Family of Dragon City, there were rumors about Nalan Yanfeng, saying she was unfaithful to Ning Qingfeng, behaving immorally, and had a penchant for illicit activities outside.
Although these rumors were always baseless, and no one could produce evidence, upon hearing them, Ning Qingfeng was both furious and even more estranged from his wife.
From then on, the two maintained a marriage that was nearly a separation. A year ago, Nalan Yanfeng returned to Northern Country City to attend her younger brother’s wedding and has not returned to the Ning Family since.
Ning Qingfeng had no intention of urging her back. He found a few alluring maidservants to live in the inner chamber, where they shared his bed daily, having long forgotten Nalan Yanfeng completely.
But the ntion by the man in black suddenly made Ning Qingfeng alert.
If there is assistance from the Nalan Clan, perhaps there is still room to maneuver in this matter!
Even Ning Qiankun might have to show so respect to Nalan De, who claims to be the number one in Northern Country City.
“Second Young Master, calm down. Enduring a mont’s anger achieves lifelong success, why not do it? Although Lady Nalan does have a bad disposition, she is still your wife.”
The man in black, being Ning Qingfeng’s absolute confidant, was well aware of the discord between Ning Qingfeng and his wife.
Nevertheless, he mustered the courage to advise, “Second Young Master, think about it. If you can obtain Lady Nalan’s help and successfully snatch the position of Family Head from that illegitimate child Ning Fan, then, as the Family Head of the Ning Family, would she still dare to disrespect you!”
“This matter… is indeed feasible.”
Ning Qingfeng’s expression changed unpredictably. After a mont, he gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.
“Set off imdiately for the Nalan Clan in Northern Country City. Use any ans necessary to bring my wife back to Dragon City and have her assist !”
Ning Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said coldly, “No matter what, I cannot watch an illegitimate child ride over my head with impunity!”
“Yes!”
Upon hearing that his opinion was accepted, the man in black was invigorated and quickly responded in a low voice.
As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightennt, his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Ning Qingfeng is his master; his master’s interests are his own interests.
If he can indeed help Ning Qingfeng successfully ascend to Family Head of the Ning Family, he will be considered a ritorious companion, and naturally, his status in the Lin Family will rise.
This thought filled him with excitent. After giving a simple salute to Ning Qingfeng, he quickly embarked on his journey to Northern Country City with his instructions in hand.
…
The old residence of the Ning Family, Western Tower.
Ning Fan sat alone inside the Western Tower, declining the steward Zhang’s intention of arranging maids and servants for him. He sat motionlessly on an old wooden chair.
This chair, compared to the other brand-new furniture in the Western Tower, seed shabby beyond belief, and its overall tone clashed glaringly.
But Ning Fan treasured this chair greatly, directly refused Zhang’s arrangent of servants to clean for him, and carefully wiped it with a cloth himself before sitting down.
This chair was one of the few pieces of furniture from Ning Fan’s childhood ho.
At that ti, he and his mother, who was a maidservant, lived in the dilapidated woodshed of the Ning Family’s old residence.
The woodshed was already filled with a lot of firewood. Once the door was closed, there was almost no room to turn around.
The young Ning Fan and his mother huddled on the narrow hardboard bed in the woodshed, curled up, feeling the howling cold wind outside the window at night, silently gritting their teeth in endurance.
And this chair served as the dining table for the mother and son.
Indeed, even as the Third Young Master of the Ning Family, Ning Fan had never set foot in the main hall of the Ning Family when he was young, nor had he ever dined at the table with Ning Qiankun and others.
Even though he was the blood of Ning Qiankun, Ning Fan’s status was no different from a servant!
Subsequently, as Ning Fan’s cultivation talent erged, Ning Qiankun began to pay more attention to him, and their treatnt improved significantly.
However, his mother, who was exhausted from toil, deteriorated in health, ultimately dying prematurely without any redy.
“The Ning Family, huh, a filthy family. Even if given the position of Family Head, I won’t have any attachnt to it.”
Ning Fan took a deep breath and gently wiped away the moist tears in the corner of his eye.
He hadn’t lost his composure like this for a long ti.
“Lan’er…”
Ning Fan whispered softly, as if soone could transcend decades of ti and space to answer his call.
If not for the shocking remark by Ning Qiankun at Quiet Thought Hall, ntioning the na Qin Lan’er, Ning Fan might have already left the Ning Family by now.
This place, he didn’t want to stay even for a second.
“Ning Qiankun, if I discover that you are using my affection for Lan’er to deceive into staying with the Ning Family, I will destroy the entire Ning Family to avenge Lan’er!”
A flash of coldness appeared in Ning Fan’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and said.
“Third Young Master, are you inside?”
The knocking abruptly interrupted Ning Fan’s contemplation.
Ning Fan frowned slightly, his face turning cold, his eyes revealing no trace of emotion as he stood up and asked coldly, “What is it?”
Outside the door stood the slightly hunched figure of steward Zhang, whom he had seen too many tis today, inevitably feeling a bit annoyed.
“Third Young Master, the Master invites you to dine in the main hall. Second Young Master and Miss Xinlan are waiting, so please co with the old servant and don’t keep the Master waiting.”
Steward Zhang bowed his body and said softly, his voice extrely humble.
