Ning Tao slowly came back to his senses, his face turned black and blue, as if dark clouds were pressing over him and a storm was about to happen.

"Dad, did Ning Cheng and the others threaten you just now, so you had to say this?"

Ning Tao put down the tea cup, stood up, and dusted his robe heavily.

Both his tone and actions contained extremely strong anger, but it was only half suppressed by him and did not fully explode.

"Ning Tao, what do you mean by this?" Ning Cheng frowned.

Although Ning Zhongfeng's words also made Ning Cheng feel confused, he couldn't bear to be slandered like this.

"Otherwise, how can we explain that my father wanted to give you the position of head of the family just after you came here?" Ning Tao said with a sneer, "It must be you who threatened him with something while Cheng Hai and I were away."

After Ning Tao finished speaking, someone from the clan agreed.

"That's right, how can it be that Ning Cheng just came today and the family head has to make the decision?"

"Besides, Ning Cheng's aura is different, and he is not suitable to be the head of the Ning family."

"Yes, that's the truth."

"I think this matter still needs to be considered in the long term."

There are people standing here at Ning Tao, and similarly, there are people standing at Ning Cheng.

As Ning Zhishui analyzed for Ning Cheng before, Ning Tao behaves in a high-profile manner, does not take others seriously, and accumulates money excessively. In fact, some people have long disliked him.

Just like the third grandfather who spoke at this time.

"It's better to say less about things without evidence. Ning Cheng is the family head's biological son. Isn't it natural to pass on the position of family head to his son?"

"That's right, I think Ning Cheng's current cultivation level is not weak, enough to match this position." Uncle Wutang also nodded.

"Being the head of the family does not require a high level of cultivation. All you need is a reliable character and a sincere intention to seek benefits for the Ning family."

Ning Tao's face darkened.

He had disliked these naysayers in the past, but felt that they were few and could not affect his status, so he ignored them.

Unexpectedly, they would find an opportunity now!

"Don't be noisy."

Ning Zhongfeng stretched out his hand and waved, "I have the final say on this matter. I'm not an old fool, so you won't listen to my words?"

Ning Tao resented, "Dad! I wonder what my son has done that dissatisfies you? In these years when Ning Cheng has been away, I have always been by your side to honor you. I have also taken care of your food, clothing, housing, transportation, and elixirs with all my heart. What has Ning Cheng done? Just because he is your son, can all my efforts be ignored?"

"That's good." Ning Zhongfeng smiled, then looked at Cheng Hai, "You tell me."

"Yes!"

Chenghai took a step forward, glanced at Ning Tao with a gloomy look, and then spoke——

"The owner's health is getting worse and worse, and he has started to vomit blood since last month. At first we thought it was due to his health, but for some reason we accidentally stopped taking the medicine for two days. Unexpectedly, his health actually improved... … Only then did we realize that the medicine was poisoned!”

After Chenghai finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Ning Tao in surprise, "Ning Tao actually poisoned??"

Panic flashed through Ning Tao's eyes. He never expected that this matter would be discovered, but the old man has been silent and acting with him until now!
"It's nothing, Dad, I didn't know about this, there must be someone behind the scenes!" He explained pretending to be anxious.

"All the medicines have to go through your hands. You yourself said just now that you take care of everything about the head of the family, but now you want to sever the relationship?" Chenghai asked.

"I... there must be some damn servant who did something secretly. Dad, believe me, I will definitely find that person and punish him severely!"

Ning Zhongfeng shook his head, "Needless to say, you are narrow-minded and not the head of the family. Even if Ning Cheng does not come back, I have already made plans to choose another person." Ning Zhishui's heart moved.

[The old man has actually fallen out of favor with Ning Tao for a long time, and he plans to change someone else to be the head of the family?Then why was Ning Tao still the head of the family in the previous life? 】

[Could it be that Ning Tao noticed the old man's thoughts in advance, so Ning Tao killed him before he could speak? 】

[This must be the case, otherwise how can we explain this? 】

[So, our early arrival actually saved the old man’s life? 】

[But looking at the old man’s body, I’m afraid he won’t be able to live for more than a few days. 】

Ning Zhishui didn't know that this happened in his previous life, because it was already several years after he came back. At that time, no one mentioned how Ning Zhongfeng died or whether Ning Tao's handwriting was involved. .

This led Ning Zhishui to think that the old man died of a normal illness, and Ning Tao took over the position of head of the family naturally.

Now it seems that Ning Tao probably got it by killing the old man!
[What an ignorant white-eyed wolf. 】

[The old man deserves it. He doesn’t want his own son, but wants someone else’s son. 】

Ning Zhongfeng:......

He looked at Ning Zhishui, suppressed the cough in his throat, and took the teacup handed to him by Cheng Hai next to him.

At the same time, he gave Ning Tao a gloomy look because of her words.

Ning Tao, will he kill himself?
Before Ning Cheng and the others came, Ning Zhongfeng had already felt that Ning Tao was not suitable to be the head of the family, as he said.

The biggest reason was that he confirmed that his poison was indeed poisoned by Ning Tao.

However, Ning Tao stared at him so closely that Ning Zhongfeng had no chance to communicate with the clan members.

Under normal circumstances, if Ning Cheng didn't come, Ning Zhongfeng would probably find an opportunity to meet with the clan members in the next few days and tell them his plans.

In other words, once he does this, he may arouse Ning Tao's murderous intention.

No, Ning Tao would probably take action before he even met them.

This speculation made Ning Zhongfeng's heart feel cold, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of fear.

but……

He looked at Ning Zhishui again.

Past life?

What does it mean?
Ning Cheng and the others felt happy after hearing Ning Zhishui's words.

Fortunately they came, otherwise Ning Zhongfeng would have died at the hands of Ning Tao?

"Dad! I didn't do those things, you can't do this to me! Ning Cheng doesn't even have a coherent spirit. If he were to be the head of the family, wouldn't it mean that our Ning family would become the laughing stock of the whole city!" Ning Tao was quite dissatisfied. .

"I disappoint my cousin. My illness has been cured." Ning Cheng said.

The word cousin obviously irritated Ning Tao, which made his chest become more and more heaving with anger.

He has been adopted and should be Ning Cheng's second brother, but Ning Cheng kept calling him cousin in his words, clearly refusing to acknowledge what he meant.

He deserves it too? !

"So what? Dad, I have always been in charge of the family business. He is new to Ningcheng and doesn't understand anything. He wants to..."

"You don't need to worry about this, cousin. I also have a business in Beiyu City. Besides, you are not the only one who understands the business at home. I only need to study for a while to get started." Ning Cheng said.
