County Magistrate Shen was very bold at the critical moment. Even when he smiled, he could make those who were guilty not dare to act rashly. “Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, we will know after I take him back to the county office.”

Old Madam Ning panicked. “We still have to bring him back to the county office?” Wouldn’t that mean that he would be punished again?

“Th-this is just a fight between brothers. There’s no need to go to the county office, right?”

Of course, no one answered. In her panic, Old Madam Ning looked at Ning Fengnian for help. “Fengnian, say something. Hurry up and tell the county magistrate that you and your brother were just fooling around, right?!”

Ning Fengnian clenched his fists so tightly that he could feel a sharp pain in his palms.

“Mother, I almost died back then.

At the mention of the past, Madam Song sobbed uncontrollably. Not only her, but even Ning Ansheng and Ning Anhui revealed their emotions and their eyes turned red.

However, Old Madam Ning frowned and said, “Aren’t you alive and well now?”

There was already a large crowd of people outside the courtyard. The villagers had nothing to do after dinner and came out to walk around to digest their food. Who would have thought that they would hear such shocking gossip? They exclaimed for a while and did not stop. At this moment, they did not know which matter to be surprised about first.

At the side, Buttface, who was carrying the ginseng, wanted to slip away and run to his new life and hope. At this moment, he didn’t know how to react when two unfamiliar men suddenly held swords to his neck.

County magistrate? That’s the county magistrate?!

Oh no, oh no. He thought that he was just casually saying a few words in front of the Ning Family. It was fine if there was a crowd of people outside, but there was actually a county magistrate in the courtyard!

His parents didn’t even care about him pushing his brother. Surely the county magistrate wouldn’t care so much, right?

However, he forgot that he was arrested today not because he hurt someone and was exposed, but because he went to the Ning Family to steal.

County Magistrate Shen waved his hand and arranged a cell number for him. He scolded Ning Xiaoxiao for lying to him, but Xiaoxiao said, “I’m not lying. Our family and Little Big Brother’s family didn’t stop you from leaving. Do you think that I, a farm girl, can make a decision for the county magistrate?”

Her words were so f*cking irrefutable!

However,” Xiaoxiao continued, “on account of you exposing Second Uncle’s ugly face for us, I’ll keep my promise and give this to you.”

Buttface was nervous, afraid, and excited. His expression also changed drastically. He didn’t look like a normal person. Rong Yan gently pulled Xiaoxiao away. Ning Anhui said unhappily, “Are we really giving him such an expensive and good thing?”

Xiaoxiao looked serious. “A gentleman never goes back on his word! What I say is like spilled water. Of course, I have to keep my word.”

Then, she whispered into Second Brother’s ear, “That’s a tree root. I pinched a scar on the top of its head at the last minute.”

Ning Anhui really wanted to give his sister a thumbs up. He knew it. His sister was so smart. Why would she be muddle-headed when it came to money?

Li Muyan, who was at the side, had a detailed concept of the “little smartie” that Shopkeeper Liu mentioned. He also began to understand why Shopkeeper Liu said that it was best to think of a way to keep her in the Li Family.

Others couldn’t tell the difference between tree roots and ginseng, but Buttface, who had hurriedly stolen it, didn’t have the chance to take a closer look. How could he, who was used to seeing good things and was the previous owner of the ginseng, not tell? However, this girl was really interesting. She even carried strange tree roots with her.

Old Madam Ning flew into a rage out of humiliation and said to County Magistrate Shen, “Since you want to pursue the matter, please pursue the matter of Ning Fengnian hitting someone today! Look at how our Fengcai has been beaten up!”

The surrounding villagers exclaimed in surprise. They had to hand it to Old Madam Ning. They shouted at the same time, “Old Madam Ning, how can you have the cheek? Your second son clearly deserved to be beaten up!”

That’s right, that’s right. You don’t do anything all day long and only know how to think about Fengnian’s family’s things. Pfft! Trash!”

Xiaoxiao was quite happy to hear that, but Old Madam Ning and Old Sir Ning wished they could dig a hole and hide in it.

County Magistrate Shen came to them. “Are you going to punish your eldest son?”

Old Madam Ning nodded repeatedly as if she had heard the sound of nature. County Magistrate Shen sneered. “Alright, then I’ll punish him to cut ties with your family from now on. Anyone in your family who goes to the eldest branch from now on will be considered to have ulterior motives. They deserve to be caught and beaten again. How about that?”

Old Madam Ning’s vision darkened. “Is this considered a punishment?

County Magistrate Shen asked, “Haven’t you been clamoring just now? Why are you dissatisfied with my judgment? Should I give you my black official’s hat so that you can judge the case?”

No matter how stupid Old Madam Ning was, she knew that she had angered the county magistrate. She was immediately pressed down by the equally terrified Old Sir Ning and knelt on the ground. “I don’t dare, I don’t dare…”

County Magistrate Shen was used to the unruly people. How could he let a shrew like Old Madam Ning lead the way? After arranging for someone to take Second Uncle Ning and his two accomplices away, he flung his sleeves and strode away as if he was not familiar with Xiaoxiao’s family.

Xiaoxiao understood that he was trying to avoid arousing suspicion, but he did not know that County Magistrate Shen was bitter inside. With his identity exposed, he would not be able to freeload like an ordinary person in the future.

This annoying Ning Family’s old residence.

Take them all in and lock them up together. Get Buttface to bring the ginseng in too.”

After everyone got separated, the courtyard of the old residence creaked. The two doors that had been closed for a long time opened one after another. Little Uncle Ning, who was in a daze, covered his mouth and yawned. He asked, “What time is it? What were you arguing about just now?”

Little Aunt Ning put on makeup and pretended for a while before asking in surprise, “Where are the young masters who came to take a look?”

Old Madam Ning was mentally and physically exhausted. She wanted to slap her. “What young master? Your brother was taken away by the county magistrate!”

Little Uncle Ning frowned. “Did Second Brother commit a crime? Why does it have to be at this juncture?”

Old Sir Ning sighed repeatedly. “What should we do…

This night was destined to not be peaceful. In the county office’s prison, three former companions of the same kind fought. After they all lost to one another, Second Uncle Ning and the swindler genius doctor both targeted Buttface.

As the saying went, a man’s wealth was his own ruin. He had already been unlucky enough to be imprisoned. It would be unreasonable not to get some benefits for himself, right?

The commotion was so loud that the others naturally heard it. They lived in a large bunkhouse, and there were two people in the prison who looked like they were not to be trifled with. When they heard them muttering about ginseng, they immediately joined the chaotic battle. After fighting, they took a closer look. The “ginseng” that was originally fine was already in a sorry state. Buttface wailed and started fighting crazily.

“My money!

On the other side, the Ning Family members who had left the old residence were very silent. As the only calm representative, Xiaoxiao invited Li Muyan, who had helped and given her a big gift, and the young man in white beside her to her house to eat.

Li Muyan wanted to reject him, but Gongsun Zhongjing said, “I just heard that your father’s head was injured. If it’s not treated well here, it’s very easy to leave behind an illness.. Do you want me to check on him?”
