“Yes! “That time, after the chief Steward got drunk, he told me that there were many fools among the elders of the ning family who were coaxed by him and even had to please him. He also said that in the ning family, besides the master, the chief elder, and the second elder, he was the most glorious. Moreover, the position of the steward was also full of benefits. If the clansmen want a good future, they have to please him.” The attendant said in one breath, and his words made the head butler so angry that he almost fainted.
Seeing the head butler faint, the elders present did not have any sympathy at all. Many of them even said in unison,””Patriarch, please seek justice for us.”
“Don’t you have any human feelings? The head butler has fainted from anger, and you’re still hitting him when he’s down?” The second elder growled angrily when he saw the reactions of some of the elders. However, he did not condescend to help the head butler up.
“And you! How could you betray your own master? You said this when the head butler was drunk. Can you take what he said when he was drunk seriously? Who can prove this?” The second elder glared at the servant with fire in his eyes.
Although he knew that the head butler had a lot of shortcomings and was greedy for small gains, he had always thought that the head butler would not dare to make any big mistakes because he was timid.
“Second elder! This subordinate’s words are all true. If second elder suspects that this subordinate’s words are false, this subordinate is willing to swear. ” After the servant finished speaking, he did not wait for the second elder’s consent and immediately swore an oath. After the rules of the contract were established, the hearts of the elders were even more inclined to the servant. Because if the servant had lied, he would have been killed by the rules of the contract long ago. How could he still appear in front of them in one piece? As for the unconscious head butler, there was no need to mention him!
The second elder saw that the servant had made an oath and was not punished by the rules of the contract, so he did not say anything more with complicated feelings. Usually, when there was a need for a confrontation, they liked to let the other party produce evidence. The oath would not be used unless it was absolutely necessary, because once the oath was made, even if there was the slightest bit of fraud, it would be erased by the rules of the contract. Therefore, few people would not take the oath seriously in order to win the trust of others.
“Second elder! The head butler also said that you’re stupid. ” Seeing that the second elder had stopped speaking, the servant shrunk his neck and whispered.
“What did you just say?” The second elder squinted his eyes, a cold glint in them.
“It’s true! He said that you’ve been led by the nose by him and that you believed everything he said. He even said that it was all thanks to you for supporting him all these years. Otherwise, how could he have gotten so much profit?” The attendant hurriedly said.
“If second elder doesn’t believe me, I can also swear on my own words.” The servant added, but his words made Ning Yan and the others feel embarrassed. It seemed that they had met a servant who liked to make oaths. Wasn’t he afraid that he would die if he made a casual oath? Even if they didn’t have evidence, they wouldn’t swear casually. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“What else can you do besides making oaths?” The second elder was a little angry. When he saw the attendant’s charming smile, the anger in his heart couldn’t be suppressed. Moreover, this attendant had clearly confessed the truth that he had overlooked all this time. This also put him in a difficult position!
“My mother told me that if you want others to believe you, but you can’t produce any evidence, swearing is the best solution. I can’t produce any evidence of what the head butler said, so I can only swear to prove my innocence.” The attendant said in all seriousness.
“You’re kind. ” Ning Yan smiled happily and stepped on the head Butler’s hand without a sound, because she had accidentally seen the head Butler’s hand move while the old man was still lying on the ground pretending to be dead!
No! To be exact, the head Butler’s fainting was probably an act. Otherwise, his hand would not have moved uncontrollably when he heard the servant about to swear. He was obviously angry.
The head butler, whose hand was under Ning Yan’s foot, almost screamed in pain. However, in order to show that he had really fainted, he could only bear with it. Ning Yan would even kick him with her heel from time to time, so he could only clench his teeth and swallow the blood!
That damned Ning Yan! The head butler couldn’t help cursing in his heart. He knew that Ning Yan had definitely done it on purpose. Unfortunately, things had come to this. If he jumped up now, he would definitely be severely punished. So, he could only continue to pretend to faint. Fortunately, no one exposed him.
“This is what I should do.” The attendant tried to please her. Now that he had betrayed the head butler, he could only ask for the young miss’s protection.
“Father! I’ve already said what I need to say, so I won’t participate in this matter. ” Ning Yan said, retreating in order to advance. Then, she sat back on the chair, ready to watch the show.
“Then, can someone tell me why Xue ‘er drugged ning Lihua?” The master of the ning family blinked, asking despite knowing the answer.
“Father! Little sister ruoxue is taking revenge for me. ” Ning Yan did not give the other elders a chance to speak and rushed to speak.
“So that’s how it is! The head butler and ning Lihua actually dared to offend their superiors, this is an unforgivable crime. You guys discuss his crimes and deal with him as you like. We can not allow such a parasite in the family to be allowed to live!” Seeing that the matter was almost clear, the master of the ning family once again became a hands-off shopkeeper.
“Don’t worry, forefather! We’ll have a good discussion and give the head butler a reasonable punishment. ” Ning Yuan quickly expressed his position.
“En!” The master of the ning family nodded in satisfaction.
“Master! Now that the head butler has fainted, should we wait for him to wake up and give him a chance to explain himself, in case he is not convinced!” The second elder said.
“Second elder, the matter is clear.” Ning Yuan frowned and reminded him. Was the second elder still not giving up? Hadn’t the old ancestor already decided on this? He couldn’t understand why the second elder would give the head butler a chance.
“Gossip is a fearful thing. I just don’t want any bad rumors to spread after dealing with the head butler. Not to mention, the head butler has fainted again. If we don’t give him a chance to explain himself, it will disappoint the clan.” The second elder said earnestly.
After listening to the second elder’s words, Ning Yuan’s mind turned quickly. In fact, it was not impossible to give the head butler a chance to explain, but he was afraid that the longer the delay, the more problems would arise.
At the thought of this, he turned his gaze to his ancestor.
The master of the ning family smiled and said,””Since second elder wants to give the head butler a chance, then let’s wait for him to wake up and let him explain himself!”
“Master! How should we deal with Leng ruoxue?” The second elder asked again, unafraid of death.
“You still want to deal with Xue ‘er?” The master of the ning family’s voice was filled with coldness, causing everyone’s heart to tremble. No one dared to agree with the second elder.
