Chapter 204: Transmigrated into a Prodigal Old Duke (6)
If someone needs a maid, can they buy one from a brothel? !
And it’s so expensive!
Ning Shouyi and Li were both defeated by Ning Ning's invincible logic. He insisted on one thing: he was the one who redeemed the person, and he had the final say on how to arrange the matter.
Ning Shouyi and Li still wanted to persuade him, especially Ning Shouyi, who was about to untie his belt and hang himself in front of him.
But Ning Ning was unmoved. Instead, she was annoyed by them and simply picked up the walking stick beside her, swung it vigorously, and beat them out!
"If you want to die, go out and die now. Don't get in my way here!"
The two fled in a panic, and Ning Shouyi cried, "Mom, why did Grandpa do this?"
"Maybe she's getting older and acting more like a child. Plus, he's unsure about the title since it was passed to your father, so he thinks all the good things have to be in his hands. Alas, Ruoshi is just a prostitute, so don't think about her. Besides, your grandfather redeemed her with his own money, so what can we do?"
"Who said he redeemed it with his own money? He used the public treasury's money and spent three hundred thousand taels! Hey, mother! What's wrong with you?!"
After they left, Ning Ning didn't look happy with Ruoshi, "You are such a tactless servant, do I have to ask you to come?"
"Ah, no, I'll obey the old Duke's orders."
"Well, come on, take her downstairs and change her into maid's clothes. She is not allowed to dress so outrageously. Ask the steward to teach her the rules of the mansion and assign her an errand."
Ruoshi:...What's the matter? Do you really want me to be your servant?
She didn't give up and observed carefully for a few days, then found out with frustration that Ning Ning seemed to have intended it that way. She really asked her to serve tea and do odd jobs, but she still complained that she was not nimble enough.
Ning Shouyi, on the other hand, could not stop thinking about her. He found opportunities to meet her twice in private and was overjoyed to find out that Ning Ning did not take her as his wife.
But this is of no use to Ruoshi, she doesn't care whether Ning Shouyi loves her deeply or not.
You just say you care about me, but you can't get me out of Ning Ning's yard. What's the point of your caring for me!
As for news, there was nothing to be found.
Not to mention that her identity meant she couldn't get into anything, and the Ning family only interacted with the same noble families. His family was in a mess recently, and few people came to visit, so there was no value in spying on them at all.
Ning Ning saw it all and was very satisfied. The second prince's most proud spy was now useless.
In fact, the entire Mingcui Tower is the private property of the second prince. There are many people in the brothel, they are well-informed, and can hide some shady things.
Those prostitutes were also trained to serve as his spies and spy on information.
In the original plot, Ning Shouyi liked Ruoshi very much, and the Second Prince asked Ruoshi to monitor him nearby, because the Second Prince didn't trust anyone in his heart. Even if Ning Shouyi behaved like a fool, someone had to keep an eye on him.
Moreover, in the original plot, Ning Shouyi was unable to redeem her, and she was always in Mingcui Tower, able to collect information from others.
Later, when the second prince got into trouble, she was also arrested.
Everything she did for the second prince was confessed, and she even pointed fingers at the Ning family.
But now the Ning family has been abandoned by the Second Prince. She had originally planned to stay away from Ning Shouyi, but she didn't expect Ning Ning to spend a huge sum of money to redeem her back to the mansion and send her to the servants' room. She had to work with the maids every day and couldn't gather any information at all, not to mention that there was nothing good to collect here.
Ruoshi has to work every day, win over other servants, and deal with Ning Shouyi, and all her efforts are often in vain. This little beauty is almost depressed and her cheeks are about to collapse.
Ning Shouyi was extremely anxious, but it was becoming increasingly difficult for him to see Ruoshi.
The steward of Ning Ning's courtyard got Ning Ning's order and became even more disgusted with Ning Shouyi. He said, "The old Duke ordered me to take good care of the servants in this courtyard, so I have no choice but to annoy you. Ruoshi is someone from the old Duke's courtyard, you shouldn't have been so close to her."
Ning Shouyi was so angry that he wanted to kick him, but he didn't dare to, so he could only leave in embarrassment.
He had no mind to do anything else but thinking about Ruoshi. As he kept thinking about her, the officials from the Dali Temple came and they specifically asked to take Ruoshi away.
The Dali Temple tried major cases, and they would only be alerted when royal relatives broke the law.
What could Ruo Shi do that was worth them coming to arrest him? !
Ning Shouyi was shocked and angry, so he asked around and found out that the situation had changed. The emperor reprimanded the second prince for his disloyalty and put him under house arrest. All his followers and cronies were also wiped out.
And Ruoshi turned out to be his spy!
Ning Shouyi's thoughts of sympathy and kindness to women were completely frightened away. Everyone in the mansion was trembling with fear, wondering whether they were part of the Second Prince's party and whether any fatal news had fallen into Ruoshi's hands.
Ning Ning felt both angry and amused. "You are scared now. What were you doing before?"
However, ever since he came here, he has completely destroyed this family's plan to join the Second Prince. They are not qualified to be considered as members of the Second Prince's party.
Ning Ning found ways to spend all the money, and none of it was spent on the second prince.
The top-quality coffin supplies were also "occupied" by Ning Ning and were not given to the second prince.
In the original plot, they used coffin to infiltrate the Second Prince's camp, but this time, the Second Prince simply didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Instead, Ning Ning took the opportunity to trap one of the Second Prince's most capable spies in the mansion.
The emperor almost laughed out loud when he saw this.
He attached great importance to this case and all the details had to be investigated by the Dali Temple and reported to him in detail.
When he saw this part, he was in a state of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
It can be seen that Ning Rongyi, Ning Shouyi and Ning Shouxiao initially took the initiative to show goodwill to the Second Prince, intending to join his camp.
But this family is really ridiculous. They ruined their own business. I heard that most of their family property was spent.
He really has the intention to do evil, but he does not have the scheme or means to do it.
Even the old Duke Ning Ning accidentally detained Ruoshi, which could be considered a meritorious service.
Because they had no evidence of doing any evil, but their actions were indeed absurd, the emperor issued an edict to reprimand them and also demoted Ning Rongyi's title from duke to earl.
From now on, their titles would no longer be hereditary, but would be downgraded and inherited.
When the decree was passed down, everyone except Ning Ning cried loudly.
Ning Rongyi was demoted to earl. In the future, Ning Shouyi will inherit the title of viscount, and his son will be baron. After that, they will be just like everyone else and will no longer have the capital to look down on others.
Their family treasury was almost completely depleted, and they no longer had the confidence to enjoy a comfortable and prosperous life.
"Okay, stop crying!"
When Ning Ning spoke, they held back their voices, but Ning Rongyi couldn't hold it back and even burped.
"You thought that no one knew what you were thinking and what you wanted to do. Now that you have achieved this result, it is already the good deeds of your ancestors. You must be careful and cautious in the future and cannot make any mistakes. We are already well-known figures in the upper echelons. In the future, we should just close the shop and live an honest life and educate our children and grandchildren well. There is not much left for them."
"Yes, Dad, we will listen to you from now on."
"Grandpa, I will never make trouble again, and I won't drink wine anymore!"
Their crying is uglier than that of melons.
They had no choice but to obey. Ning Ning was the richest man in the mansion now. If they wanted to live a good life, they had to rely on Ning Ning.
Even Ning Rongyi was still doubting whether his father really got lucky by accident or was just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Why did everything he did always happen by chance?
They have been frightened out of their wits and dare not act like a demon anymore. They are also penniless and have completely lost the ability to do bad things. Even the original selves could come back and deal with them.
Ning Ning felt relieved and left this world.
