Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 294: Rebirth of the Son-in-law (3)

"Yes, is there such a thing?"

Ning Ning blinked, "Why does he want to hurt me?"

"Why else? It's the Ning family's wealth. Although he is not a son-in-law in name, everything he eats and uses comes from the Ning family. He feels guilty about the kindness he has received, so he just wants to take over the family wealth. He told me that he could help me hide the affair, and after the master passed away, I had to listen to him, and help him manipulate the young lady and embezzle the family wealth, so that he could give me 30% of the family wealth in the future."

"Oh? That's a nice idea. So how does he plan to do it?"

"Master, he holds the upper hand over me, and I have no choice but to listen to him. How could he tell me everything? I paid more attention and found that he had dealings with the boatman. I guessed that he might harm you, but I didn't expect him to be so bold and dare to attack you!"

As she spoke, she tried to hug Ning Ning's thigh again, but was kicked away mercilessly by Ning Ning!

"How dare you beg for mercy! I treated you well when you came to the Ning family, but not only did you betray me, you also watched others do something bad to me, and even wanted to join him to deal with my daughter. It's really disgusting! Go call Qi Menglai over!"

His last sentence was a command to the butler, who left. After a while, Ning Rao and Qi Menglai came over.

Both of them had fallen asleep and were woken up.

They knew that Ning Ning called them over at this time because something big must have happened. After they came over, they were indeed shocked.

It’s easy to see what’s going on at this scene!

Ning Ning didn't wait for them to speak, and kicked Qi Menglai hard, knocking him onto his back, unable to get up for a long time.

"Dad, what are you doing?!"

Ning Rao hurried to help Qi Menglai and looked at Ning Ning in surprise.

"Ask him about the good things he did! I had only discovered a case of adultery, but I didn't expect that my good son-in-law would collude with a bitch and bribe the boatman to throw me into the water while I was drunk. If Dad hadn't swam to shore desperately, I would have died."

Ning Ning repeated what Aunt Liu said, and Aunt Liu also testified, "Arao, no, Miss, everything I said is true. He held my handle and forced me to listen. Miss, think about it carefully, if he hadn't colluded with the boatman, why would the boatman knock the master into the water!"

"Dad, are you okay?"

When Ning Rao heard this, she was so scared that her hands turned cold. She hurriedly left Qi Meng and went to ask Ning Ning.

Qi Menglai: ...What about me?

Don't you care?!

Ning Ning, "Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to be killed by them."

Qi Menglai hurriedly stood up with the help of the wall and defended himself.

"Father-in-law, please allow me to report that Raorao and I are in love with each other, and I am grateful for your kindness, so how could I do something worse than an animal! Since this bitch can betray you, what nonsense can't she say? You must not believe her!"

He was also wondering, Ning Ning was already old, and she had fallen into the lake and barely swam out, how could she still have so much strength!

He even suspected that this kick had broken his waist!

But the situation is urgent, and I have to grit my teeth and defend myself even if my waist is broken!

He was secretly annoyed, Aunt Liu, your conspiracy has been exposed, why did you expose me?

You expect me to take the blame for you? No way!

"Qi Menglai, you beast! You found out that I had an affair with my cousin, so you threatened me. I was worried, so I secretly inquired about it and found out that you went to see the boatman of the pleasure boat that the master often went to. I guessed something was wrong, and sure enough, you took action! When your affair was exposed, you took the blame on me. You are worse than a beast!"

Qi Menglai: ...These are my lyrics you are talking about!

Aren't you the one who's taking the blame for me?

The two of them argued, and the more they talked, the more real the story became. Aunt Liu told Qi Menglai how he discovered the affair and what they had talked about. Even Ning Rao looked at Qi Menglai hesitantly.

Qi Menglai realized that something was wrong and hurriedly tried to win over Ning Rao.

"Raorao, even you don't believe me. We are so in love, why do you want to hurt my heart like this? Aunt Liu was unfaithful to her father-in-law, which shows that she is a bad person. How can her words be trusted? Let me ask you, what evidence do you have to frame me?"

"Humph, I am the witness! Master, Miss, you can no longer trust him! Everything I said is absolutely true. Otherwise, we have no grudges, so why would I frame him?"

"A shrew like you, do you need a reason to frame someone?"

Ning Ning slammed the table and said, "Stop arguing. This is not the place where I judge cases. I don't intend to resort to lynching. Let's just go to court and we'll know who is right and who is wrong."

"Father-in-law, this is so embarrassing..."

"Bah! If I lose my life, I won't be ashamed?!"

Qi Menglai was a suspect, so it was difficult to say anything more. He could only be supported by two people to go to the court.

After the people in the court learned the whole story, they all frowned at him.

Ning Ning was a drunk man, and he was not young anymore. Even if he was kicked, how serious could he be hurt? Why was he pretending to be so hypocritical?

Qi Menglai: ...Don’t I feel ashamed?

I would like everyone to know that I was beaten by that old man, but it really hurts!

After examining the case, it was found that Aunt Liu's story was not complicated. The evidence of her adultery was irrefutable. Not only were there those private belongings, but Aunt Liu's personal maid also knew about it. She just kept silent because she had received benefits from her.

According to the criminal law of this world, adultery would result in eighty lashes of the cane and then two years of exile.

The board was so severe, and no one helped Aunt Liu and her cousin, so the board was hit hard.

Neither of them could make it and both died there.

But Aunt Liu’s confession to Qi Menglai could not be proven.

Although she said that Qi Menglai colluded with the boatman and wanted to kill Ning Ning, she had no evidence and her words were not enough.

The boatman had already disappeared, and no one knew who had ordered him to do so.

Qi Menglai looked like he had been wrongly accused and wished his blood would be splattered in court. He kept shouting that he was innocent.

The case will have to remain unsolved until the boatman is caught and confronted.

After leaving the court, Qi Menglai seized the opportunity to defend himself in front of Ning Rao, "My father-in-law has never wronged me in money matters, so why would I risk my life for money? My love for you is clear to all, so would you rather believe the adulterous concubine Liu than me? It's obvious that she wanted to clear herself of the blame, so she dragged me into it as a scapegoat. You and I can't let others instigate this!"

"Hey, hey, that's enough. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Ning Ning interrupted him and took Ning Rao back, while Qi Menglai followed behind dejectedly.

He may not want face, but he must have the Ning family's wealth.

This is what the Ning family father and daughter owed him. If he couldn't get back everything he lost, what was the point of him living again!

After returning to the Ning family, Ning Ning asked Ning Rao alone, "No matter what, Qi Menglai is under suspicion. Do you still want to continue to be married to him? If not, Dad will decide for you to divorce and promise to find you a good son-in-law."
