399 Shock

As for Madam Liu, she had been deceived by an acquaintance and there had been no news of her after that.

After Madam Liu disappeared, Ning Yue’s grandfather’s health deteriorated day by day. In the end, when he heard that his youngest daughter was not doing well in the General’s Residence, he became depressed.

After Ning Yue’s biological mother passed away, Ning Yue’s grandfather also passed away. Finally, Ning Yue’s eldest uncle was left.

He thought that these things were just an accident, but after Jiang Ying’s investigation, he realized that everything was man-made. The mastermind was behind all of this.

Ning Yue’s heart was filled with anger. She gritted her teeth. “Who did it?”

“We’re still investigating. I’ll tell you immediately when there’s news,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue was trembling with anger. She wished she could find this mastermind immediately.

“Yueyue,” Jiang Ying called out to Ning Yue. “I don’t know if it’s good or bad to tell you this. I hope you know the truth, but I don’t want to see you like this.”

Ning Yue took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. She said to Jiang Ying, “Don’t tell anyone about this yet. We’ll talk about everything after the investigation results.”

“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” Jiang Ying said.

Ning Yue thought for a moment and took a deep breath. She said to Jiang Ying, “Come back with me. Tell Grandpa what to take note of during the crown prince’s ascension.”

“Alright, I’ll go with you now,” Jiang Ying said to Ning Yue.

The two of them returned to the Ning family. Jiang Ying specially found Old Master Ning and talked about the things to pay attention to during the coronation.

When Old Master Ning found out that the crown prince was going to confer him a noble title, he was confused.

Jiang Ying came to him to tell him what to take note of, and he agreed. In fact, he did not know how much he remembered.

Seeing the old man’s condition, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but want to laugh. The old man’s reaction was too cute.

In the end, he said to the old man, “Grandpa’s title is usually hereditary. Usually, the eldest son inherits the title. There can’t be any mistakes during this ascension ceremony because you’re Yueyue’s family member and represent the entire Ning family. There are many people watching the ceremony.”

At that time, the coronation would not be as simple as being watched.

If the Ning family made a mistake, the crown prince’s plan to confer him a title of nobility would fail. At that time, the Ning family would not be the only one who would embarrass themselves.

Old Master Ning finally came back to his senses. He looked at Jiang Ying in shock. “Hereditary? It means that my eldest son can inherit the title, and my eldest son’s son can also inherit this title. Is that right?”

Jiang Ying nodded. “That’s not all. When the time comes, you will have a fief and can even go to the court to discuss national matters.”

Discuss national matters? Old Master Ning was stunned. He was just a villager. How could he discuss national matters?

Seeing Old Master Ning’s expression, Jiang Ying knew what he was thinking and hurriedly said, “Grandpa, you’ve traveled extensively for so many years. Our young people lack your knowledge. It’s our entire court’s blessing that you can go to the court to discuss things. Your understanding must be much better than ours.”

Old Master Ning came back to his senses and smiled. “I’m not as good as you say.”

“Why not? For example, the factories started by Yueyue are personally managed by Grandpa, right? The royal court is just like these factories. How they operate inside is still up to the managers. I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be like a fish in water in the royal court.”

“Of course, nobles don’t have to go to court every day. They’ll only let you go to court to discuss important matters. Grandpa, you don’t have to feel restrained.”

“You will have a fief like Ning Yue and a residence in the capital. You can stay there or in the capital if you want.”

When Old Master Ning heard Jiang Ying’s words, he was very shocked. He did not expect to have a fief after being conferred a noble title and a residence in the capital.

These were like dreams to him. If it were in the past, how would he dare to think about them?

He knew that all of this was thanks to Ning Yue. Without Ning Yue, not to mention being conferred a noble title, they didn’t even know if they could survive the drought.
