The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant

”This is all fate.”

When Mr. Ning woke up, he weakly sighed.

Tong Qian and Zhang Zhi felt extremely uncomfortable in their hearts, and awkwardly said, ”Sir, you must not say so, it was our negligence.”

Who would have thought that wearing an identical human skin mask would still be recognized?

Mr. Ning shook his head, tugged at his lips, and said, ”It’s not your fault, don’t blame yourselves. What’s fake is fake, even with the same face, it can’t surpass the ties of blood, blood is thicker than water.”

Tong Qian was silent for a while, and said, ”Sir, you are injured now and can’t move freely, and the outside is tightly patrolled. It’s better to recuperate here first; I’ll contact Old Zhao and arrange for a chance to escape from the city.”

Hong Chun was startled and said, ”Master, it’s not safe here, those people will surely come to search from time to time.”

”Shut up.”

Under his cold gaze, Hong Chun shivered and dared not speak further.

Zhang Zhi looked at her with eyes more like looking at a dead person.

Mr. Ning said in a deep voice, ”Over at Old Zhao’s side, tell them not to act recklessly, so they don’t expose themselves. But there’s one thing, have Old Zhao investigate why Emperor Chu is searching so tightly?”

He always felt like he was overlooking something, knowing Emperor Chu was constantly rounding up remnants due to the issues related to the courtyard in the west of the city. But that courtyard left nothing behind, and Shang Pu had already left the city, shouldn’t the focus be on pursuing outside the city?

Tong Qian wanted to say something but hesitated.

Mr. Ning was sharp-eyed, seeing the situation, he asked, ”Are you hiding something from me?”

Zhang Zhi also looked over.

Tong Qian lowered his head and knelt down, saying, ”In fact, there’s something I’ve never had the chance to tell you.”

Mr. Ning looked at him, waiting for the rest.

”Over at the Ning Family ancestral grave in Wuxing, sir’s grave has been dug up.”

Sir’s grave has been dug up.

Zhang Zhi wanted to curse if he was crazy, the sir was perfectly fine, what grave digging, but his mind turned, yet, he thought of something, and his whole body froze.

Mr. Ning was even more shocked, his heart seemed to stop for a moment.

”Sir.”

Mr. Ning waved a hand, took a deep breath, he understood. Originally, he thought Emperor Chu was searching for Xia Houzhe, the boy, but unexpectedly, he was searching for himself, or perhaps, finding himself would lead to finding Xia Houzhe.

No wonder he was pressing every step, as if forcing him into a dead end.

In the end, it couldn’t be hidden anymore.

He revealed a grievous smile, ”Providence, it’s all providence.” He closed his eyes, then opened them again, ”It’s all fate. Listen to me, as I am now, I fear I can’t leave this capital city, Tong Qian, find a way to get out, notify our people, scatter as soon as possible so as not to perish needlessly.”

Zhang Zhi said, ”Sir...”

”Listen to me, the Prince Mansion has been raided, the situation over there with the master is unclear, even if Shang Pu is found, the master may not be able to easily escape.” Mr. Ning said, ”And I, being old and having suffered this injury, especially since Emperor Chu already knows I faked my death, he will surely seek me out...”

He was inherently weak, speaking rapidly, he couldn’t catch his breath.

The two hurriedly helped soothe his breathing.

Mr. Ning recovered for a while before he opened his eyes again and said, ”This is heaven not favoring our side, when people grow old they must accept fate.”

A series of setbacks has ultimately struck down this old man.

”Sir, you’ve meticulously planned for years, everyone is counting on you, you can’t believe in this fate.” Zhang Zhi gritted his teeth and said, ”You’ve lived incognito for these years not for a mere fate belief, I trust we won’t perish just like this.”

Mr. Ning patted his hand, saying, ”I’m old, one cannot but yield to age.”
