It turned out that there was a noble man who asked someone to find Wu Cui and his wife and gave them a large sum of gold.

There was no special requirement, just let them go to Xiangyun Village to claim a girl named Shen Ningning.

The noble man asked them to turn Shen Ningning into his daughter. No matter whether they lied or coaxed, they would give another sum of money after the event was completed.

After hearing the whole story, Shen Ningning's expression showed no big fluctuations.

Because she had already guessed it and just wanted to know who the other party was.

"What is the name of this noble man you are talking about?"

"I don't know..." Qian Siniang shook her head: "But when we went there for the first time, we heard the servants calling him Mr. Wei San."

Mr. Wei San?

This name is too unfamiliar to Shen Ningning.

Chen Ye heard it from the side and immediately said: "He is the younger brother of Wei Shangshu and Concubine Li."

Among the three brothers and sisters of the Wei family, the third Wei is an idler and has no ability, but he is notorious.

He often does some stupid things in private. He is over thirty and still looks like a playboy.

If he arranged this matter, it was probably not his intention but the instigation of the Wei family.

Shen Ningning was even more confused: "But I have never offended this person. I don't even know him."

Chen Ye has been on the battlefield and has also been exposed to the other side of power.

He knows very well how ruthless these high-ranking officials are behind the scenes, and their tricks are endless.

Chen Ye said in a deep voice: "If a big shot deals with you, it may be because you threaten him."

Shen Ningning was puzzled.

Qian Siniang said hurriedly: "Miss Ningning, don't worry. I have the gold he gave me. I will go to the government with you tomorrow to testify against him."

Wu Cui also said: "Yes, he must have bad intentions."

"Miss, you saved our son, and we are willing to testify in court."

The little guy immediately shook his head: "Going to the government is not an option. If the Wei family is really that powerful, we can only wait for my brother to come back..."

Calculating the time, Mo Lingwei can return to Beijing in five days.

Shen Ningning comforted Wu Cui and his wife. Qian Siniang saw that Wu Zuchang was dirty and took him to the inner courtyard to be cleaned.

"Girl, girl!" Wu Zuchang kept looking at Shen Ningning.

The little guy said to Chen Ye: "Brother Chen, please go back first and help me tell grandma that I will stay here for dinner tonight and go back tomorrow morning, so she doesn't have to worry."

Although Xitai Village is somewhat far away from Xiangyun Village, it is backed by mountains.

As long as she calls, the wolves will hear the news and come.

Chen Ye nodded: "Okay, then I will pick up the lady tomorrow morning."

With that said, he left.

That night, Shen Ningning had a very warm dinner.

Qian Siniang fried scallions with her own hands and did an excellent job.

Throwing the fresh and green green onions into the pot makes a sizzling sound and the fragrance is overflowing.

Take out the blackened green onions, add thin slices of pork belly, stir-fry until the crystal color comes out, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Shen Ningning and Wu Zuchang stood by the pot and looked forward to it.

After a while, the fragrant scallion meat slices came out of the pan!

Wu Cui washed his big hands and began to knead the dough. The white and tender dumpling seemed to change its shape, growing and becoming rounder.

After a while, he pinched out buns in the shape of little rabbits one after another and put them in the basket.

During the meal, there is a table full of delicacies.

The four of them sat in the yard, and Wu Cui specially opened a jar of Nuerhong.

Halfway through the drink, he felt so sad that he couldn't help but said sadly: "Actually, I plan to drink this wine when our girl grows up and drinks it on her wedding day."

"But she had a hard life and died under a robber's sword..." At this point, he wiped away tears.

Shen Ningning couldn't help but ask: "Then why did you report to the government that she was missing?"

Qian Siniang explained: "Our mother was still alive at that time, and we were afraid that the old man would not be able to bear the blow, so we could only say that the girl was lost, so that she felt that there was still hope of getting the child back."

Unexpectedly, it was an unintentional move back then that led to an encounter with Shen Ningning today.

Wu Zuchang took a sip of the wine and stuck out his tongue because of the spicy taste.

"It doesn't taste good, girl. Don't get married. This tastes bad."

Everyone laughed.

Qian Siniang wiped away her tears: "Thankfully, Miss Ningning didn't care about us. We were greedy for money and deceived you. I'm really sorry!"

She picked up Wu Cui's wine bowl: "With this glass, I will make amends to Miss Ningning!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

She never drinks. Wu Cui was so frightened that he yelled, "Drink less."

Qian Siniang wiped her mouth and said happily: "Today is a good day. It turned out that I was burdened with lies, and my heart felt like a big stone, and I finally said it out."

Shen Ningning's face was fair and pretty, and her voice was sweet and soft: "Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, you are asking for money to treat brother Zuchang."

"I know a very powerful doctor. If I have a chance someday, I'll ask him to take a look at Brother Zuchang. My grandma often says that life will get better and better."

"Don't be discouraged either!"

The couple, encouraged by the little guy, immediately nodded with tears in their eyes: "Okay, great."

In the end, both Wu Cui and Qian Siniang drank too much and walked staggeringly.

Shen Ning would rather not be able to lift them, but Wu Zuchang listened to her and she said to carry them in, so he carried his parents into the house.

It was still early, so the two of them sat in the yard and looked at the moon and stars.

"Girl, you can't see clearly from here." Wu Zuchang said, pointing to the mountain behind the house: "You can see it from the mountain."

Shen Ningning lives in the mountains, so of course she is not afraid of going into the mountains at night.

She just smiled sweetly: "Do you want to go?"

Wu Zuchang nodded immediately: "Brother, I will catch fireflies for you."

When Shen Ningning heard this, she immediately agreed. The two of them carried a lantern, locked the door and entered the mountain.

As soon as they left, there were several suspicious people in the village who entered the village at night.

The yellow dogs raised in various households began to bark wildly.

Several villagers came out with lanterns to check. After walking around and finding no suspicious people, they went back to their houses.

At this time, in Wang Qiaoer's room, she was crying with Deng Fugui in her arms.

"Fugui, just promise mother that you will accept Badshun as your father, okay?"

"I don't want it!" Deng Fugui shook her hand away: "He is not my father, mother. I don't want to lose someone for the rest of my life."

Wang Qiaoer quickly said: "Your cousin is very rich. Being his son, you will not suffer any loss."

"Besides, he has already told his wife that your cousin is so generous that she is willing to take me in as her equal wife, and she also agrees to raise you as her legitimate son."

"Son, mother made a joke a few days ago. We can't stay in Xitai Village. For now, we have to change our story and say that you were Badshun's son from the beginning. Then we can avoid being laughed at."

Deng Fugui burst into tears: "How could you do this? What would my father do if I recognized someone else?"

"Your father is cruel and has given up on us a long time ago. Otherwise, why wouldn't he come to see you? I heard that your grandfather has been looking for a new wife for him. Do you want to live with your stepmother?"

Wang Qiaoer said that Deng Fugui fell silent.

He doesn't want to leave his mother, nor does he want to recognize someone else as his father.

"Fugui, if you don't want to, my mother will have no choice but to die. Anyway, she has lost her face, so what's the point of living!" After Wang Qiaoer said this, he went to find the scissors to kill himself.

Deng Fugui was young after all, so he was afraid that she would really do this.

"Mom! No, I promise, I promise you." He cried and knelt on the ground.

It was useless to blame myself, but also thought of my poor father.

But Wang Qiaoer gently helped him up: "Good boy, when you grow up, you will know that mother is doing this for your own good. Being a young master of the Ba family is much richer than being a boy from the village!"

After the matter was accomplished, Wang Qiaoer slept peacefully and even had sweet dreams.

Deng Fugui, on the other hand, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

He simply got up and walked around the yard to relax.

It would be great if he were in Xiangyun Village. The friends he knew before would accompany him out to catch crickets and fight with each other.

Just when he was feeling uncomfortable, out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure passing by through the crack in the door.

Deng Fugui leaned on the door and looked out.

I saw men in black walking out of Wu Cui's yard and going directly to the back mountain.

He was very confused.

What do these people do?
