When she heard Leng ruoxue say that she was poor and didn’t have anything of value, she felt a little depressed. However, she was more pleased with herself because that was within her expectations.
However, when she heard Leng ruoxue say that her old Grand Madame would place this bet on her behalf, she could not help but feel envious. Hence, she did not even think before asking,””Old Grand Madame, is miss Leng’s wager really coming from you?”
“Mm! I’ll pay. ” The master of the ning family nodded, and then he said,””Since you’ve challenged Xue ‘er, I won’t stop you. However, it’s not satisfying to watch the two of you compete alone. Why don’t you bring forward the family competition that’s going to be held half a year later? We’ll set the time for seven days later, so you should all prepare well. ”
Master ning’s words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand ripples, causing many of the unprepared ning family members to be dumbfounded. They had originally had half a year’s time to prepare well, but who knew that because of Ning Xi ‘er’s challenge, they had to compete in advance. This made many people resentful of Ning Xi’ er, but because of Ning Xi ‘er’s status, they only dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.
“Master! Isn’t it a little inappropriate to bring the family competition forward? Many of our clansmen are out traveling! He definitely won’t be able to make it back in seven days. ” The second elder could not help but remind him.
!!
“How many of them are travelling outside?” The master of the ning family asked.
“This …” The second elder was at a loss for words. How would he know how many of them were travelling? Those clansmen might not tell him that they had left their homes.
“Since second elder is not clear, then the family competition will be held in seven days. All clansmen who meet the conditions can participate, regardless of direct or branch family, everyone will be treated equally.” The master of the ning family announced loudly.
The ning family Master’s words made many of the clansmen present excited.
“Brother! I can also participate in the family competition!” Ning Shan said very excitedly, so excited that his little face was flushed red.
“Yes.” Ning Hai nodded. He was happy for his brother.
However, some people were happy while others were sad. This was good news for the distant relatives, but it was not the case in the ears of the direct relatives.
“Master! Isn’t this against the rules?” The second elder asked carefully. In the past family competitions, only the direct family could participate. The branch family did not have this opportunity. Moreover, many of the direct family members looked down on the branch family and even treated them like slaves. If the direct family and the branch family were to compete, wouldn’t it be a mess?
“Rules are dead, but people are alive. Branch family members are also my ning family’s descendants, so how is that against the rules?” The master of the ning family sneered.
“The patriarch is right. There are many elites in the branch family. We should give them a chance.” An elder agreed.
“Third elder, I’ll leave the matters of the clan competition to you.” The master of the ning family ordered. The third elder he was talking about was the elder who had just agreed with him. However, the second elder obviously still didn’t quite agree, but he could only put on a dark face and not raise any objections.
After that, the so-called welcoming banquet continued. Although it was not very harmonious, Ning Xi ‘er would make sarcastic remarks from time to time, but they were all ignored by Leng ruoxue. She was even more focused on eating the food in front of her, eating without saying a word.
After the torturous welcome banquet ended, Leng ruoxue immediately left and locked herself in her room, not asking about anything. Even the master of the ning family wanted to see her, but he was denied the door.
The master of the ning family, who had not seen him, was anxious and uneasy. Sob…Xue ‘er couldn’t be angry with him, right? Could it be that she was blaming him for not supporting her at the banquet? In fact, he had deliberately ignored Ning Xi ‘er and allowed her to make a fuss. He felt that life at home was a little dull and wanted to find some fun. Moreover, he wouldn’t really let anyone bully Xue’ er. If Ning Xi ‘er went too far, he would definitely not let her go. However, he believed that Xue’ er would not suffer.
After returning to his residence, he gloomily sat down on the stone chair in the courtyard. The ning family’s master didn’t say a word, but when the first elder saw him like this, he couldn’t help but laugh and say,””What’s wrong? He didn’t see Xue ‘er again? She’s definitely angry with you, and you’re still the head of the family! You can’t even manage your own descendants, you’re really useless!”
“Why can’t I control my own descendants?” Hearing this, the master of the ning family shouted at the top of his voice.
“Can you manage that Ning Xi ‘er?” The first elder raised his brows and said with an evil smile.
“Of course I can.” The master of the ning family said fiercely.
“I can. She still dares to make a scene at the banquet?” The Grand Elder asked in surprise.
“It’s a different matter whether I care about it or not. I deliberately let her cause a scene at the banquet, can’t I?” Master ning’s eyes were wide open as he said indignantly.
“Alright! This is your ning family’s territory, so you can do whatever you want, but whether or not Xue ‘er will let you have your way, that’s hard to say. ” The great elder said with a smile. In fact, he also wanted to watch the show, but he did not know if Xue ‘er would give them this opportunity.
“Didn’t Xue ‘er accept Ning Xi’ er’s challenge?” The master of the ning family said.
“By the way, do you really intend to let the two of them compete? Xue ‘er is the mid level deity!” The first elder said worriedly.
“This is something Xue ‘er agreed to herself. It has nothing to do with me. However, since she agreed, she should be confident!” The master of the ning family was not confident either. Furthermore, he wanted to see Leng ruoxue but he could not, so he was a little frustrated.
At this moment, he was not the only one who was frustrated. After the banquet ended, Ning Xi ‘er, who felt that she had made a big splash at the banquet, was called into Ning Yuan’s study room and severely reprimanded. This also made Ning Xi’ er’s hatred for Leng ruoxue deepen.
After Ning Xi ‘er returned to her room, she smashed everything in the room to pieces. The two maidservants beside her were also badly injured by her, but she still couldn’t vent her hatred.
After Ning Yuan had lectured Ning Xi ‘er, he had gone to the forbidden area at the back of the mountain to beg for forgiveness from the old ancestor. As for what he had discussed with the master of the ning family, no one knew. After he had left the forbidden area, he had also kept quiet.
Time passed day by day. In these few days, rumors suddenly spread throughout the ning family’s main residence. These rumors were naturally related to Leng ruoxue. Some people said that Leng ruoxue was pampered and did not respect the ning family. Some people said that Leng ruoxue was brutal by nature and always abused servant girls. Some people even said that Leng ruoxue was going to replace Ning Yuan and ning haolan as the master of the ning family. The cause of all this was naturally because the master of the ning family valued Leng ruoxue.
However, the more outrageous the rumor was, the more uneasy the ning family became.
In the ning family’s meeting hall, Ning Yuan and the elders gathered.
“Elders, please speak your mind!” Ning Yuan’s head ached as he looked at the elders who were sitting there with unfriendly expressions. In fact, he knew what these elders wanted to say, but he had no other choice but to pretend to be confused.
