For the old Ning family, it was even more painful to stay awake all night.
Ning Jingxuan went to her mother Yun Muhan's relatives' house to play, and her cell phone was turned off and disconnected.
As soon as Ning Chengen and Shengge and others left, he ordered his bodyguards to find Ning Jingxuan as soon as possible.
Five hours later in the early morning, Ning Jingxuan was carried back from a relative's house by bodyguards and thrown directly into the ancestral hall.
"Ouch! Be gentle, do you want to throw me to death?"
She rubbed her sore buttocks and angrily accused the bodyguard.
The bodyguard bowed politely to her, turned around and left the ancestral hall without saying anything.
There was a loud bang, and the door of the ancestral hall was slammed shut, making Jingjing Xuan tremble.
In the dark night, the candlelight flickered in the ancestral hall, and occasionally a few gusts of cold wind blew. Jing Jingxuan swallowed her saliva with a guilty conscience and got up from the ground.
"Kneel down."
Behind him, the man's cold and biting orders came.
Hearing this voice, Jing Jingxuan trembled all over, feeling fear engraved in her bones and blood.
She turned around numbly and saw Ning Chengen standing in front of the memorial tablet of the Ning family's ancestors, with a gloomy and terrifying face, and an even more terrifying family law cane in his hand.
The smooth and oily rattan looked very strong and tough. It had obviously been soaked in water when it was taken out and was specially prepared for her.
She was so scared that she stepped forward, bent her knees, knelt on the futon, and laughed.
"Second brother, you are too scary. Where did I go wrong? You have even prepared things like rattan."
Ning Chengen pursed his lips tightly, and his gloomy face looked like a life-seeking evil ghost, fierce and cold.
"Second brother, if you have anything to say, please tell me. My skin is delicate and I can't stand your cane. Besides, you have never hit me before, so you have to take it easy."
She bit her lip in frustration, pretending to be pitiful.
Ning Chengen walked up to her, looked down at her condescendingly, and spoke as coldly as if he was interrogating a prisoner.
"I ask you something and you answer something. If you dare to lie, I will break your legs."
Jing Jingxuan's face turned pale and she shook her head like a rattle, "Don't you dare? Just ask, second brother, I will never lie."
"Why did you go out and hide tonight?"
For a while, she remembered Shengge's numerous instructions during the day and calmly pretended to be stupid.
"I didn't go out to hide. Second brother, why do you think so? It was little Gu Xiang from my aunt's house. She called me to come over and play. I'm usually like this too."
"I didn't plan to come back tonight, but who knew you would send someone to catch me? I've often stayed at my aunt's house before. Are you going to scare me with a cane?"
Ning Chengen narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding her expression, and continued to ask: "Are Lu Shengge's crystal earrings here with you?"
When asked about the idea, Jing Jingxuan felt embarrassed and reminded herself over and over again to answer according to what Sister Sheng taught her.
Otherwise, it might be difficult to pass tonight.
Thinking of this, she raised her head innocently and said confusedly, "Yes, it is here with me. Is there any problem with this?"
