After the daughter was treated harshly by her family, everyone knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 1084: Tearful Farewell

The Mu clan lost power, and Ning Hanwang and his wife had no hope of returning to Beijing.

The couple understood the deep meaning behind Ning Yunxi's words about farming.

Mu Rong bowed her head to the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"Xi'er, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. Please, forgive me, forgive my family. In the past, I..."

Ning Yunxi was impatient and interrupted her.

"Don't talk to me about the past!"

"My mother kept harping on those four or five years, insisting that you cherished me even before I could remember anything."

"ridiculous."

"Is the truth as you said? You have taken care of me personally for many years, meticulously and without entrusting me to anyone else?"

Mu Rong raised her head and gave him a sincere look.

"of course."

"I've spared no effort, how could it be fake?"

"There are many people in this world who have sharp tongues but kind hearts. Xi'er, your mother may look a little fierce, but she's actually very soft-hearted. Please believe me."

Ning Yunxi remained unmoved.

"I know the truth."

"Before moving to Penglai Residence, I lived in Huixin Residence. Emperor Yue personally raised me, with Marquis Yu providing assistance."

Mu Rong spoke freely and without any guilt.

"Don't listen to Fengzhe's nonsense."

"He's jealous and stingy. He wants to monopolize your sister and doesn't allow you to have too much contact with other relatives."

Ning Yunxi laughed out of anger.

"Ah."

"To this day, my mother is still lying, saying she has changed her ways, but in reality, she has no remorse at all."

There was a hint of resentment in her almond-shaped eyes. She was angry and condemned the crime in her heart.

"How have you and your family wronged me? Do I need to report this to my mother one by one?"

"I've been wronged so much, shouldn't I fight back and deal with you?"

"Before, when my second brother and his family were still alive, I took my sister's feelings into consideration and endured the grievances. You should have understood this and treated them with great care. Yet, you actually took my sister's life for a little vengeance."

"Father and Mother are resolute and ruthless, never ceasing to seek revenge. Do they think they are straightforward and unrestrained? Then what does it mean that I have endured injustice and pain for all these years without resorting to cruelty?"

"Hypocrisy? Scheming?"

"Why can't you bear even a little bit of pain? What did my sister do wrong that you want to kill her?!"

Ning Hanwang began to argue with great emotion.

"Xi'er is very clear. It was Madam who first attacked and killed my concubine."

"Ru'er was reserved, obedient, and never sought favor. She could have enjoyed a peaceful family life with me, living the rest of her life to the fullest."

"Yao'er hasn't returned home yet, and she doesn't know Madam. There's no grudge between them."

"Madam, why is there such resentment? Why would you kill her entire family and even spare His Royal Highness Prince Li?"

"Xi'er, you must know that Yao'er is pregnant. Even if Ru'er accidentally offended Madam and caused a dispute in the backyard of our mansion, what is Yao'er's fault, and what is the fault of her unborn child?"

"If I just stand by and watch in this situation and do nothing, am I worthy of being a father?"

"The fault lies with the Madam, not with me, Xi'er. You shouldn't vent your anger on me."

Mu Rong was furious when she heard this.

"Ning Hanwang, stop talking nonsense and disturbing my beloved daughter's thoughts!"

"It was you who tortured me in every way. I couldn't stand it any longer, so I resorted to trickery to murder them."

"I did it. If you have any hatred, you should direct it at me."

"What is Wei'er's fault?"

Ning Hanwang looked arrogantly with his nose turned up to the sky.

"She pretended to be Ru'er's daughter, trying to pass herself off as the real one. I only destroyed her appearance, which was already a kind act."

Mu Rong glared and gnashed her teeth.

"I instructed her to impersonate Pan Xiangru's daughter, and I was the one who murdered Ning Miyao's family. Why did you hurt my beloved daughter? Why don't you seek revenge on me?"

Ning Hanwang asked back.

"how about you?"

"I'm using you for fun. If you have any hatred, you should be targeting me. Why are you hurting my concubine?"

Mu Rong's eyes were bloodshot.

"They were the ones who exposed Wei'er's identity and caused me to suffer!"

Ning Hanwang was unwilling to be outdone.

"You were trying to pass yourself off as the real thing, and they didn't frame you. What right do you have to hold a grudge against them?!"

Mu Rong argued with reason and maintained a good balance between relaxation and tension.

"Pan Xiangru is very intelligent and resourceful. She already knew your identity."

"She deliberately interfered in our marriage. She was at fault first!"

"Blame her for being so shameless, and blame you for favoring your concubine over your wife. I'm just a poor woman who isn't favored by my husband. I'm not wrong."

Ning Hanwang was defeated and was at a loss for words, so he could only roar.

"You are using strong words to make sense!"

Unable to win the argument with his wife, he thought quickly and changed his strategy.

"Xi'er, you must trust Daddy."

"I never meant to hurt Madam Mei. I didn't know she cared so much about her appearance."

"If I had known that destroying her appearance would have such serious consequences, I would never have done it."

"I just wanted to say something."

"I accidentally killed her, and now I regret it deeply."

Mu Rong pushed him hard.

"You're talking nonsense!"

She turned to Ning Yunxi.

"Xi'er, you must trust mother."

"He knew very well that Wei'er cared deeply about her appearance."

"He did this with a clear intention, just to lure Wei'er into committing suicide!"

"You and Wei'er are sisters who have been through thick and thin together, and your friendship is deep. Now, my sister has been murdered by a villain. Xi'er, do you have the heart to ignore it and let the thief go free, and then hurt my sister's kindness?"

Ning Yunxi's poems are tinged with contempt.

"Father and mother are accustomed to confusing right and wrong."

"Before, I followed your wishes because I couldn't let go of my attachment to family, not because I couldn't see that you were playing tricks on me."

"Do you two think I'm a fool?"

At this point, a team of guards brought in all the members of the Mu clan, and they all knelt in front of Ning Yunxi.

There were so many people, and the guards did not retreat because they were afraid that Ning Yunxi would be in danger.

Looking at his former family members, Ning Yunxi felt mixed emotions.

"Everyone, please sincerely repent. I will select those who have behaved well and show mercy beyond the law, and give them lenient sentences."

The people of the Mu clan tried to please Ning Yunxi, confessed their mistakes, and blamed each other. For a while, the place was in chaos.

Ning Yunxi was annoyed by the noise and ordered the guards to shut them up.

"Your crimes are diverse, and you should each receive your own punishment: exile, imprisonment, or beheading. I fear that the pain of separation would be too much for you to bear. Therefore, I grant you all a lenient sentence: demote you all to commoners and exile you to Qinan County."

"It's almost time, everyone should set off."

"I value my family, so I should say goodbye to you and bid you a tearful farewell."

"please."

The crowd refused to leave, crying and shouting, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Empress, please spare me... Xi'er, please spare me..."

Ning Yunxi signaled Guan Ningjing with her eyes.

Guan Ningjing followed the order and asked Yin Sitai and his guards to escort the Mu people and Ning Hanwang to Qinan County.

into the night.

Yin Sishi, who was in charge of escorting Ning Hanwang and others, rushed to Yuexi Mansion at 12:00.

"I respectfully wish the Empress Feng An."

Ning Yunxi had just returned from outside and had not yet taken off her scarlet cloak.

"My dear Lord Shi, please stand up."

At that time, Wu Gong was established.

"Your Majesty, Ning Hanwang, Mu Rong, and the others were kidnapped right after they left Shengjing. When they were found, they had already met with an accident."

"The scene of their death was too horrible to watch."

Ning Yunxi was indifferent.

"Okay, I understand."

"Please take care, my dear Lord Shi."

Shi Wu is in trouble.

"According to the law, those exiled should be buried on the spot. However, their identities are special, so it is difficult for me to make a decision."

"Excuse me, Your Majesty, are the funeral rites for your father and mother based on the rites of the ministers, or on the rules of the people?"

Ning Yunxi repeated the words.

"I said, I understand."

"Please take care, my dear Lord Shi."

Shi Wu was shocked and afraid of losing his composure, so he quickly composed himself.

"Yes."

"Wei Chen retire."

Ning Yunxi smiled, but her eyes were filled with tears. When Yu Shiwu turned around, frost fell quietly.
