64: Backstab Ningzhuang

“Damn it! What in the world is Chu Lingxi doing? Why did she suddenly cut ties with me?”

Back in his study, Ning Village was furious, transforming into a desktop cleaning Revered Master, sweeping everything off his desk.

Such a commotion quickly alarmed Butler Fu.

Butler Fu was the Ning Family’s steward, and he had been by Ning Village’s side since Ning Village was a child.

Although his strength was only at the Great Power Realm, he was extremely loyal to Ning Village.

This was because Shen Qingwan had given him a bowl of rice when he was on the verge of death.

“Young Revered Master, what’s wrong?”

Butler Fu asked with concern.

“None of your business, get out!”

The enraged Ning Village, abandoning his usual gentleness, roared at Butler Fu.

Seeing the furious Ning Village yell at him, Butler Fu was stunned for a moment, then left without a word.

Soon, a calm Ning Village realized something.

“I’m sorry, Butler Fu, I was just too angry, I didn’t mean it!”

Ning Village quickly chased after him to apologize to Butler Fu.

“It’s alright, Young Revered Master, whatever it is, we can handle it slowly, this old man doesn’t mind!”

Butler Fu waved his hand.

“Butler Fu, you’re truly a good person! Thank you…”

Seeing Butler Fu forgive him, Ning Village immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Recently, his temper had become increasingly volatile; this was a side effect of the Gluttonous Divine Body. He had to control his temper from now on.

“Disciple, the effects of the Gluttonous Divine Body are becoming more apparent. You need to control yourself recently. Do not use the Divine Body too much. I will find a way to help you stabilize it!”

Elder Wang said.

“I understand, Revered Master!”

Ning Village sighed.

Things had been going so smoothly recently! First, the Wanbao Xuan Merchant Guild inexplicably cut ties with him, and now his Divine Body was temporarily unusable!

“Never mind, spring goes and winter comes. I am the father of destiny, and I will surely turn misfortune into good fortune!”

“Mother, you must wait for me, I will definitely rescue you!”

Ning Village’s gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the imperial palace, his eyes extremely cold.

…

“Achoo, who’s talking about me?”

Shen Qingwan, who was in her study, suddenly sneezed, instinctively thinking someone was cursing her.

“Madam, what’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?”

The door was pushed open, and the person who entered was none other than Su Xuan, who had just coaxed Zhao Rou to sleep.

After coaxing Zhao Rou to sleep, Su Xuan immediately came to find Shen Qingwan, ready to deepen their relationship.

“Husband…”

Seeing that the person who came was Su Xuan, Shen Qingwan’s expression immediately became a little flushed.

“The environment here is not bad, right? How are you adapting? Do you feel any particular discomfort?”

Su Xuan asked with concern.

“The environment here is quite good, and I’m adapting well. The only minor drawback is that Husband hasn’t come to accompany me!”

Shen Qingwan complained a little.

“Am I not here to accompany you now?”

Su Xuan smiled and pulled Shen Qingwan into his embrace.

As expected of an older woman, her words were so pleasing.

If it were a typical young girl, most would probably say it didn’t matter and they would endure the hardship themselves.

Someone like Shen Qingwan was undoubtedly acting spoiled, wanting his attention. Of course, he had to give her a certain amount of care!

It was like when he was in school; teachers often liked it when you came directly to them after class to ask questions. Most of the time, they were happy.

“Hmph! Who told you not to come accompany me immediately!”

Shen Qingwan pouted.

Although she didn’t know how to fight with others in the imperial harem, she knew how to please a man.

Women who liked to act spoiled had the best lives. In the imperial palace, she had relied on this skill to live comfortably.

However, at that time, Ning Village wasn't competent enough. With too much spoiling, others would eventually grow tired of it.

Gradually, spoiling would turn into disgust.

“Alright, Madam, calm down. The weather is getting colder, you need to wear more clothes!”

Su Xuan said this, yet did the opposite.

“Husband… didn’t you tell me to wear more clothes… why…”

Shen Qingwan was blushing with shyness.

“Men are like clothes, and sisters are like limbs. Can’t I be your clothes?”

Su Xuan had a mischievous smile.

With the atmosphere like this, Shen Qingwan naturally became understanding.

“You’re so naughty! Husband!”

Shen Qingwan hugged Su Xuan.

And so, Su Xuan successfully ended this wonderful day by running back and forth between the two.

…

The next day, the Wanbao Xuan Merchant Guild publicly announced that they had cut ties with Ning Village and would no longer have any trade relations with him.

At the same time, the Wanbao Xuan Merchant Guild collaborated with the Su Family. Chu Lingxi even publicly stated that in the future, the Su and Chu families might even engage in a certain degree of intermarriage.

Not only that, Chu Lingxi also backstabbed Ning Village, releasing a large amount of accusations, claiming that Ning Village had attempted to scheme against her and maliciously lower prices during their cooperation.

The news of the Wanbao Xuan Merchant Guild cutting ties with Ning Village shocked the entire Xingluo City.

Especially the things Chu Lingxi exposed later, their impact was so great that some of the forces that had previously followed Ning Village also left him.

After all, in Chu Lingxi’s words, Ning Village had become an out-and-out villain.

Although Ning Village vehemently denied it, he couldn’t stop Chu Lingxi, who was a woman with many mouths talking!

During this period, the First Prince and Second Prince also took the opportunity to kick him while he was down, causing Ning Village a lot of trouble.

This series of suppressions and backstabs allowed Su Xuan to gain a large amount of Villain Value. Su Xuan was so happy he almost couldn’t close his mouth.

“500,000 Villain Value! What a great harvest!”

Su Xuan looked at his attribute panel with great satisfaction.

In the past two days, Ning Village had been backstabbed and suppressed by many people. His situation could not be said to be good; it could only be said that things were looking dire.

“Damn b*tch! How dare you backstab me! You’d better pray you don’t fall into my hands one day!”

Ning Village looked at the messages coming from all directions, plus the somewhat strange looks from others, and immediately became furious. The desktop he had just tidied was cleaned off again.

Upon seeing this, his subordinates immediately found an excuse to leave. If they didn’t run, they might be the ones getting cleaned off.
