Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 200: Transmigrated into a Prodigal Old Duke (2)

However, the emperor was so strict with the prince because he regarded him as his successor and would be entrusted with important responsibilities in the future, so of course he had to be trained carefully.

As for the Second Prince, he was just his "beloved son" and the Emperor had never thought of changing the Crown Prince.

So those who misunderstood were in trouble. When the emperor could no longer tolerate it, he angrily issued an order to imprison the second prince.

Those who stood on the wrong side were denounced as "flatterers", had their properties confiscated, their titles stripped, and were imprisoned and sentenced.

The original body's children and grandchildren were really useless, even the second prince called them "waste" behind their backs, but there was nothing they could do about it because they had money!

The Duke's Mansion had a simple population for several generations, had never divided the family, and had never produced anyone who was particularly wasteful, so the family was very wealthy.

The Second Prince wanted to develop his own power, but he couldn't do it without money, so for the sake of the Duke's Mansion's wealth, he coaxed them and made them feel that they were very important to the Second Prince, and that they would be able to gain the merit of following the Dragon in the future!

Unfortunately, not only did he not gain any credit, but his entire family was thrown into jail, and the title passed down from his ancestors was also lost!

The original person died of anger!

His request was to ask the tasker to help him teach these children and grandchildren a lesson, no matter what the price, even if all the family wealth was lost, because the family wealth would give the children and grandchildren the confidence to make trouble, and once they made trouble, they could ruin the family business and their lives.

Nothing could be worse than the consequences they have caused.

But if he were asked to do it himself, he was a soft-hearted person and couldn't bear it no matter what.

But at the same time, he also made a request, hoping that the tasker would not act too smart. "Well, after the tasker leaves, I still have to live my life. If he acts too smart, I can't handle it. Besides, I have lived most of my life, and everyone around me knows what I am like."

Ning Ning: ...This old Duke is still a fool.

When he came through, the old Duke had already passed on his title and was going to the mountains to recuperate.

Of course he couldn't leave, and he immediately took back the key to the inner treasury that had just been given to him.

The children and grandchildren were all confused, but since the original body had never been serious about doing things, they didn't take it too seriously. They just thought that the original body was acting on a whim again, and they started thinking about how to get money from him.

Sure enough, the next day, the two grandsons of the original body came to see him, and they came in a noisy manner, asking him to help judge the case.

I only heard the eldest grandson Ning Shouyi say, "This is the only copy I like, and I'm just short of three thousand taels. Can't you lend me the money? I'm your elder brother, and you're being disrespectful to me!"

The second grandson Ning Shouxiao was not to be outdone, "Bah! People always say that brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, but you only say that I am disrespectful. Have you ever been friendly to me? I will use the money. I like an antique and specifically asked Shopkeeper Song to keep it for me. If I can't deliver the money today, won't people laugh at my mansion for being nothing but an empty shell?"

"Antiques are not as important as rare books! My study is a serious matter. You must lend me the money. At worst, I can save up enough money to pay you back in the future!"

"With your little monthly salary, you have to save it up until the end of time. I am buying antiques for a refined reason, why should I give in to you? I don't care, let's go to Grandpa to seek justice!"

"Go ahead, I'm not afraid of you!"

This is actually their usual trick, using this method to get money from the original body.

The original body was too lazy to argue with them or expose them, but gave them money and asked them to buy what they liked, treating them like his grandsons and acting like a spoiled child to him.

But this time was different. After listening to what they said, Ning Ning was full of suspicion. "What kind of rare copy is so expensive? And is the antique you like really good?"

"Well, of course, it's hard to find in the world!"

They immediately praise the things they like to the highest degree possible.

Ning Ning immediately made the decision, "Since it's so good, I'll go with you to take a look. Come on, lead the way."

"Ah? This is such a small matter, why should I bother you..."

"It's not considered labor. The doctor who examined my pulse last time said that I just need to move more. It's a good opportunity for me to go and help you."

He had already stood up, and the two brothers had no choice but to help him out of the door.

When they arrived at the antique shop, the two brothers winked at the shopkeeper and asked him to take out the rare books and antiques that they liked.

The shopkeeper was familiar with them and understood immediately. He smiled and asked the waiters to serve Ning Ning tea, and then took out the best rare books and antiques in the store.

But even if this is the best, it is far from the price they told Ning Ning. They are just taking the opportunity to extort money from Ning Ning.

Who knew Ning Ning narrowed her eyes and looked at it for a long time, "You said this rare book is worth 5,000 taels, and the antique is worth 10,000 taels?"

"Yes...that's right."

"That won't work. If this price gets out, people will laugh at our Duke's Mansion. In my opinion, with this and this, I will give you a total of... 50,000 taels!"

"What?"

"Oh, by the way, this money comes from the public treasury, so you can go to our house to get the money!"

Ning Shouyi and Ning Shouxiao were confused again. How could you spend money like this?

And you're not just spending your own money?

You have to spend money from the public!

"Grandpa, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"

"Not right? Why is that? Yesterday you insisted on letting me live in the mountains, and today I'm spending some money and it's not right again! What's going on? If I spread the word of my title, will you be able to manipulate me at will? There is no place for me in this Duke's Mansion?"

"Grandpa misunderstood!"

"Of course we don't mean that! It's just... I still plan to study hard and give it a try later. I want to read this rare book."

Hearing him say that, Ning Ning showed an awkward look, and after a while she said, "I didn't want to tell you directly because I was afraid of hurting your feelings, but it's not good to keep it secret from you. So I'd better tell you tactfully, Shouyi. With the way you study and your poor handwriting, it's better to expect me to kill the enemy, suppress the rebellion, and bring honor to the family than to expect you to pass the imperial examination."

Ning Shouyi: ...Tell me, where were you being tactful?

He asked blankly, "But, but there is no rebellion anywhere now?"

"Yes, so why do you think you can pass the exam?"

Ning Shouyi: ...Is this the whole story?

What does your killing of enemies have to do with my studying?

After making him become autistic, Ning Ning's expression brightened up a little and she spent fifty thousand taels to buy these antiques!

The two brothers went back and told Ning Rongyi with sad faces, "What's the point of him keeping so much money! Besides, when I wanted to make more progress, he discouraged me. How can he be such a grandfather!"

Ning Rongyi was also unhappy, "Dad is really becoming more and more like an old naughty boy. He is totally unreasonable. Never mind. I will go and persuade him."

But when they met, Ning Ning retorted, "If I pass the title of Duke to you, will you be able to show your dignity to me after you become powerful? Only you can spend the money in the mansion, but I can't?"

Ning Rongyi heard it and realized that this was the case.

They must have done something wrong, which made Ning Ning suspect that she was no longer valued in the mansion after losing her title, so she kept acting like a troublemaker.

He quickly assured Ning Ning, "What are you talking about? You are the pillar of the mansion, and we all have to respect you."

"I don't believe it. Don't try to fool me! It was your son who praised those things so much. I bought them because of what they said. How come it's my fault? If you don't believe me, come with me and see. How many antiques in our house can compare to what I bought?"

Having said that, he ran to the warehouse.

Ning Rongyi followed behind, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, thinking that this man was really an old child. But then he was startled. Oh no, he was afraid that the thing had arrived and was being put into the warehouse at this moment.

"Hey, Dad, wait a minute! What's so good about going to the warehouse? Don't go there!"
