Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 436: Dog-eat-dog Begins

Mr. Duan took a deep breath and said, "I have been through a lot in my life, and I have never misjudged anyone, except you."

During the Great Qi Dynasty, there was a saying that half of the dynasty was promoted by him, and most of the civil and military officials were promoted by him.

When he saw Ning Zhiwei for the first time, he knew that this woman was extraordinary and if she could survive, she would become a local lord.

At that time, he thought about suppressing her and strangling her to death before she grew up.

But Ning Zhiwei is too dazzling and too smart. She takes an unconventional approach and always puts herself in the spotlight.

It was extremely dangerous, but we still managed to fight our way out.

Princes? No, she had been aiming at the whole world from the beginning, and she stood in a high position that he dared not even imagine.

At this point, Mr. Duan smiled bitterly and said, "I know that I have committed serious crimes and cannot escape death. I am willing to commit suicide, and I only ask for a chance to spare the lives of my Duan family. The Chengqi brothers don't know what I have done, and they are innocent."

He had no other choice but to die as an apology to appease Ning Zhiwei's anger.

Ning Zhiwei said calmly, "If you die, your descendants will be filled with resentment. Do you think I will raise a tiger to cause trouble?"

What he did was to punish the entire clan, so if you don't know about it, you are innocent? Haha.

Old Master Duan looked gloomy. "My descendants are all mediocre and can't cause any trouble. Besides, I brought this upon myself and can't blame anyone else. I will write a letter and ask them to return to their hometowns to observe mourning and stay indoors."

Ning Zhiwei gave them opportunities, but they didn't cherish them. If they lived a down-to-earth life, she wouldn't say anything.

"At the beginning, I did not implicate other people in Duan Xinyu's matter, but you have failed my expectations. I can only make an exception for this kind of thing once, and I will never tolerate it again."

Mr. Duan's face turned frighteningly pale, and he could barely stand. "I heard that you even let Su Mingjin's son go."

Ning Zhiwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "Oh, that's the chess piece to contain Su Asi."

Su Asi doesn't dare to kill people, he will only make them useless.

As long as there is such a person, the Su family will not work together and will continue to fight among themselves.

The woman in black who had been lying on the ground suddenly raised her head and revealed her ugly face, "Ning Zhiwei, where did you take the child?"

Ning Zhiwei glanced at her calmly and said, "It's Lin Jingshu. I didn't even recognize you. How did you get yourself into this state? It's so miserable."

Lin Jingshu felt mixed emotions, all the sweetness, bitterness and spiciness flooded into her mind.

She also wanted to know, how could it turn out like this?

She was once the most beautiful woman in the capital, with both talent and beauty, and was envied by countless people.

But now she is disfigured, half paralyzed, covered in wounds, and living a life worse than death.

She directed all her resentment towards Ning Zhiwei, "It's all your fault. Why did you return to the capital? Why did you come back?"

Before Ning Zhiwei came back, she was a favorite of heaven, a daughter of a noble family, her aunt was a favorite concubine, and her uncle was the emperor.

The princess and the prince were all very polite to her.

Since she was ten years old, matchmakers have come to her one after another, all of whom are famous and powerful people looking for marriage.

Her talent is praised by the world and she is highly praised wherever she goes.

Her biggest worry at that time was which dress to wear to the banquet the next day so as to outshine everyone else.

That is the brilliant life of a time-traveling woman.

However, everything came to an abrupt end after Ning Zhiwei returned to the capital.

Ning Zhiwei raised her eyebrows, "You really won't repent."

Lin Jingshu looked at the arrogant woman with eyes full of resentment, "Give my son back to me, now."

I don't know where she gets the confidence to order others around.

Ning Zhiwei looked at her as if she were a fool, "Someone, drag her away and chop her up."

The guards came forward and dragged Lin Jingshu out. Only then did Lin Jingshu realize how scared she was. How could she kill him without any reason?

She held on to the door sill and refused to let go.

"No, no, no, you can't do that, Ning Zhiwei. I am a person of great origin. If you kill me, you will be punished by heaven."

Ning Zhiwei didn't buy it, "I don't believe it, how about giving it a try?"

Why try? Lin Jingshu doesn’t want to die. Even though her life is so painful now, she just wants to live.

Better to die than live.

"Ning Zhiwei, I have a treasure that will be of great use to you. I want to talk to you alone."

She was sweating profusely, "Aren't you curious about why I know so many things?"

Ning Zhiwei's eyes flickered, "Everyone, go down."

The guards stepped forward to pull Old Master Duan and his group away. Old Master Duan couldn't help but get anxious. If he went down now, he would never have the chance to see her again, and his family would be completely finished.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to hand over the last trump card of my family, the list of those aristocratic children who are hiding among the people under an assumed name, just for the Duan family to be spared."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people traveling with him changed drastically, and they cursed angrily, "Old bastard Duan, you are so vicious and despicable."

"We were so blind that we actually regarded you as our leader and followed your lead."

"If we are to die, we must die together. No one can live alone. Your Majesty, don't believe him. He lied to you. He planned and led all the plans. He is the culprit."

Old Master Duan refused to give in, "Your Majesty, these people have a deep hatred for you, so you must be on guard."

Everyone was immediately angry and started to turn against each other, biting each other and exposing each other's secrets.

Betrayal by one's own people is often the most deadly.

Ning Zhiwei listened for a while and thought, very good, all the dirty things the other party did were exposed, which was exciting.

She listened with great interest. Come on, come on, this will all be recorded in history books in the future.

The greater the sins of the family, the more righteous she seems to be in destroying the family!

Old Master Duan's face turned red, he was angry and anxious, and he wished he could beat these disobedient juniors to death.

Say less.

But, you are going to sacrifice them, why not let them fight back?

Ning Zhiwei listened for a long time and finally spoke, "Drag them all away."

They wanted to struggle a bit, but were dragged away by the guards, covering their mouths.

Ning Zhiwei lazily took the cup of water and drank sip after sip without saying a word.

Lin Jingshu didn't say anything either. The two sides were competing with each other, and it was a psychological warfare.

Whoever speaks first loses the initiative.

As time went by, Lin Jingshu finally couldn't help it, "I have a secret that I have never told anyone."

"As long as you promise to give me a title, I will tell you."

"You can say it or not." Ning Zhiwei didn't buy it. She was really daring to even dream of a title. "I'll count to three. If you don't say it, go to hell."

Lin Jingshu gritted her teeth, damn it!

However, the situation was stronger than the person, Ning Zhiwei was the one who had the final say, and she had no capital to negotiate with him at all.

"I am a different..." A person from another world.
