Ning Yuan looked at ning haolans confident appearance and felt a mix of emotions in his heart. He nodded slightly and sent a guard to call ning Duan.

After ning Duan entered the meeting hall, he looked around at the people present. His heart suddenly jumped, but he quickly calmed down because he knew why he had come.

After bowing to Ning Yuan and the elders, ning Duan stood beside Ning Wen.

Ning Duan! At the start of the family compet.i.tion, the soul of oblivion that Ning Shan was injured with was given to you by Ning Xi er? Ning Yuan asked without any joy or anger.

When ning Duan heard Ning Yuans words, he was stunned. Although many people in the clan suspected that he was the one who had poisoned Ning Shan with the forgotten soul, he had not managed to gather enough evidence since he had refused to admit it. Therefore, this matter had always been ambiguous. Other than that demon Leng ruoxue and the young master, this was the first time that someone had directly told him about this matter! He glanced imperceptibly at ning haolan, and only relaxed when he saw him giving him a look.

Yes! When fifth miss gave me the soul forgetfulness, she told me to use it on Ning Shan and Ning Hai when I have the chance. Ning Duan said with his head lowered, not even daring to breathe.

Why did fifth miss give Ning Shan and Ning Hai, these two collateral relatives, the w.a.n.ghun? An elder asked curiously. This was also something that they could not understand. With fifth misss status, she had nothing to do with the two of them who were collateral relatives!

Ning Hai and miss Leng once offended fifth miss. Therefore, the poison that was put in Ning Hai and his brothers mouths was also aimed at miss Leng. Ning Duan gave a simple explanation.

What? All the elders were shocked. So there was such a thing. No wonder the fifth young lady would make things difficult for Leng ruoxue at her welcome banquet! This was much easier to explain.

Elders, theres no need to be surprised. Ning Hai and I did have some conflicts with fifth miss. Leng ruoxue said with a faint smile. Following that, she told them what had happened. When the elders heard it, they couldnt help but sigh! Wasnt miss Wu too narrow-minded? You want to kill him for such a small matter?

Youre wrong! All of you are ganging up to frame me! All of a sudden, Ning Xi ers shrill voice reverberated in the meeting hall. She had just snapped back to her senses when she heard Leng ruoxues words. However, she only heard the end of the sentence. Even so, it was enough for her to know that she had been reported again.

Hearing Ning Xi ers words, Leng ruoxue only smiled faintly and didnt say anything else. In front of everyone, it was impossible for Ning Yuan to exonerate his niece, so she was happy to sit by and watch.

Xi er! Impudent! Is this a place where you can make a ruckus? Ning Yuans face was stern, and his tone was very displeased.

Uncle! How could you just watch as Im being wronged by them! Ning Xi er felt extremely wronged. Her uncle had always doted on her, but now, he was not speaking up for her.

Xi er! Ning Wen accused you of using him to steal the w.a.n.ghun while ning Duan accused you of using the w.a.n.ghun to harm Haishan and Ning Hai. Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say? Ning Yuan sighed and said in disappointment.

Uncle! Theyve wronged me! Ive never done such a thing! Ning Xi ers eyes were filled with tears as she said pitifully.

The acting patriarch! Now that the evidence is irrefutable, theres no need to talk nonsense with fifth young lady. The third elder couldnt stand it anymore. He said impatiently, sigh! How could the ning family have such a young lady? The truth was right in front of her eyes, but she still refused to admit it. She really didnt know who Ning Xi ers character was like!

En! Ning Yuan nodded and did not give Ning Xi er any chance to deny it. He then ordered the guards to take the three of them away. The truth was already clear, so there was no need to ask further.

Uncle! Uncle! You cant do this to me ... Ning Xi ers crying voice echoed in the meeting hall. The elders only frowned when they heard this, but no one spoke first, and their eyes all turned to Ning Yuan.

Cough, cough! Elders, lets discuss the punishment for the three of them! Ning Yuan coughed a few times before he said.

He was well aware that haolan mustve had solid evidence to back up his words, so it was impossible for him to plead for mercy on behalf of Xi er. Although he was very disappointed in Ning Xi er, he had been in love with her for so many years. He really couldnt accept the fact that Xi er had been convicted. However, as the acting family head, he knew what he could do and what he couldnt do. Since he had been chosen by the old ancestor, he still had this bit of self-control.

I think Ning Xi er has committed a terrible crime and is not suitable to live in this world. However, shes a woman, after all, and we should make the best use of her. So, I think we can give her some medicine, then find a family to marry her off to. It wont be in vain that the ning family raised her. One of the elders suggested.

The elder who had spoken was ning haolans trusted aide. According to the young masters wishes, he did not want to keep Ning Xi er in this world. However, he felt that rather than letting Ning Xi er die, it would be better to let her live. With Ning Xi ers lofty personality, this would definitely be worse than killing her.

As soon as the elder spoke, the meeting hall fell silent. It was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard clearly.

Ning haolan, on the other hand, pursed his lips and sipped his tea without a word.

When Leng ruoxue saw ning haolans calm expression, she could vaguely guess that he had incited this matter. However, Ning Xi er was not a woman who knew her place. If she caused any trouble after marrying into someone elses family or dragged the ning family down, it would not be worth it!

After a long while.

Does anyone else have a different opinion? Ning Yuan asked.

All the elders were silent.

No one else has any objections? Ning Yuan repeated.

Silence was the only reply.

Alright then! Just do as the tenth elder said! But we have to carefully consider the family were marrying into! Ning Yuan didnt comment, but as long as Ning Xi er could stay alive, he wouldnt have hurt her for so long in vain.

Didnt the Yao family want to form an alliance with our ning family through marriage? Ning Xi er is just right to go there. Ning haolan said with a smile.

Ning Yuan looked at ning haolan with a profound look. He was secretly shocked. He didnt expect that haolan would actually want to send Ning Xi er to the Yao family. In that case, wouldnt Ning Xi er become the ning familys hostage in the Yao family? And this hostage was someone who had made a mistake, so he couldnt do anything to the ning family. If the Yao family knew that the ning family had sent such a person over, would they be angry? The answer was a definite yes.

Young masters suggestion is really good. The tenth elder chimed in with a smile. Previously, when the Yao family had sent someone to talk to them about this matter, they had been completely unwilling to pay attention to the Yao family. However, with the presence of Ning Xi er, the person who had made a mistake, everything seemed to have become logical.

MMH! This is a good idea! Another elder chimed in.

After that, some elders began to agree with him one after another. After hearing their words, Ning Yuan knew that this matter could not be changed. However, he still wanted to remind the elders who were sitting.
