Chapter 623: Chapter 621 Design 5_1

"First, they arranged for a maid to ’accidentally’ spill juice on the head of Clan Leader Xia during the family banquet, ensuring that he would definitely go to bathe. Next, they dispatched a female servant to stealthily inspect the Clan Leader’s body for any conspicuous markings, such as birthmarks or moles, while assisting him with his bath."

"But the servant and Ning Xiaoyou’s bunch were unaware that Xia Ningxing had already discovered their plot the moment the maid spilled the juice on her. Therefore, she decided to fight fire with fire, and applied a fake birthmark on her body, intentionally letting that servant see it..."

"Upon seeing it, the maid immediately reported back to Ning Xiaoyou and the others, who then planned to make Clan Leader Xia embarrass himself during one of the most crucial moments of his life. And that led to the scene everyone witnessed today."

As the guard spoke, other guards presented the evidence and witnesses.

Now, no matter how Ning Xiaoyou and the others tried to argue, it was useless.

Ning Xiaoyou and the others’ faces turned ashen, and some even collapsed to the ground, knees buckling.

It’s over!

It’s completely over!

Not only did they fail to topple Xia Ningxing, but they also brought disaster upon themselves!

The others present couldn’t help but gasp, both appalled by the maliciousness of Ning Xiaoyou and her associates and secretly impressed by Xia Ningxing’s cleverness.

What a masterstroke of turning the tables and drawing the snake out of its hole, capturing them all in one fell swoop!

Incredible!

Xia Ningxing was still unaware that this incident had won her a substantial number of supporters who now believed she was capable of being the Family Head.

One could say that Ning Xiaoyou’s attempt at stealing a chicken only resulted in losing a handful of rice.

"Now that everyone has heard the full story, bring forth all those involved in this slander. Not one shall be spared," Mrs. Xia Ning declared coldly.

"Aunt, I’m your niece. I was wrong, I really was. Please spare me," Ning Xiaoyou pleaded, knowing that with the evidence and witnesses against her, begging for mercy was her only option.

If only Mrs. Xia Ning would show leniency, there was still a chance she could survive!

"Every family has its rules. You have broken them, so you must face the consequences. If I were to let you off today because you are my relative, wouldn’t that be unfair to everyone else?" Mrs. Xia Ning was unmoved.

It didn’t matter that she was the daughter of her half-brother. Even if she were her full brother’s child, Mrs. Xia Ning would execute her without hesitation.

Xia Ningxing was her Achilles’ heel, her lifeline. Anyone who dared touch her sealed their own demise!

"Auntie!"

Ning Xiaoyou cried out in agony, her eyes swollen red with intense hatred seething within.

Hatred!

She hated her so much!

As long as there was a breath left in her, she vowed to kill Xia Ningxing!

She didn’t think she did anything wrong; she only blamed Xia Ningxing for not playing along.

Mrs. Xia Ning saw right through her: "You must feel a lot of hatred right now. But once you had succeeded today, you would have been happier than anyone else. Besides, ’a weed left in the field will grow back when the spring wind blows.’ This is all a result of your own doing. Take her away!"

In the end, regardless of how Ning Xiaoyou and her companions wept and pleaded, they were taken away and executed the next day.

The room fell so silent that even the sound of a needle dropping could be clearly heard.

But in the next second, many started shouting, "The Family Head has been wronged!"

At first, there were just a few voices, but then everyone began to join in.

Xia Ningxing nodded to them in acknowledgment.

The succession ceremony continued.

Xia Ningxing took her seat as the head of the family.

From now on, Xia Ningxing will be the family head of the Traditional Medicine Family, the Ning Family.

"Wishing the Family Head all the best of luck."

The people below all bowed one after another.

Xia Ningxing gestured for everyone to rise and then spoke from the heart, "I know that many of you here are not convinced by my becoming the family head, but time is on our side, and I will prove with concrete actions that I am the most suitable person. I will lead the Ning Family to greater heights..."

While Xia Ningxing was giving her speech, Ning Mo’s family quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Because...

Originally, they had almost taken part in Ning Xiaoyou and the others’ plan!

After the event, when they returned home, Ning Mo’s mother drank a glass of water to calm her nerves, "If Mo hadn’t had a premonition that this plan wouldn’t be successful, our family would have definitely been doomed."

Indeed, they knew about Ning Xiaoyou and their plan at that time, but they did not participate.

It was only because Ning Mo had a very uneasy feeling deep down, always sensing that it would fail.

And now, as expected, it truly did fail.

It was a close call! Really too close!

"That was too close!" Ning Mo’s father immediately echoed.

Ning Mo couldn’t help but pick up a cup to drink water and calm her nerves as well.

After finishing her drink, she gripped the cup with eyes full of unwillingness, "Are we just going to let her comfortably sit in the position of family head now?"

"Of course not!" Ning Mo’s parents unanimously said at the same time.

Hearing this, Ning Mo’s eyes narrowed slightly as if she realized something, "Do you have a foolproof plan?"

"We do." The couple looked at each other, apparently thinking the same thing.

A look of surprise and excitement flashed in Ning Mo’s eyes as she asked, "What is the plan?"

Instead of answering her directly, Ning Mo’s mother asked back, "Do you remember your uncle who died in a plane crash?"

"I remember." Ning Mo nodded and instinctively asked, "What about him? What does he have to do with this?"

Ning Mo’s father then said, "Actually, your uncle’s accident was no accident at all, but rather something we orchestrated with outsiders."

"What!?" Ning Mo exclaimed in shock, "Why?"

"For revenge, of course!" Ning Mo’s father’s eyes flashed with a ruthless gleam. "Back in the day, I was so close to becoming the family head, but that little wench stole it from me. Afterwards, some people approached me, wanting to use your uncle for an experimental research. I negotiated with them to see if they could abduct that wench as well, but they refused, wanting only your uncle. I figured if we only took your uncle, we just took your uncle, since your aunt loved him so much. If he met with an accident, your aunt would be devastated, and that would serve as my revenge."

Later on, as expected, Mrs. Xia Ning was grief-stricken.

Ning Mo’s father’s lips curled.

Having heard the story, Ning Mo kept a placid exterior, but inside she felt immense disdain.

It was clearly your own lack of capability that caused you to lose to my aunt during the competition for family head, and yet you blame her for blocking your path.

There really is no one more shameless!

But all these old sesame and rotten millet matters are no longer important. What is important is...

Ning Mo asked again, "So what does he have to do with us pulling Xia Ningxing down from her position?"

"At the time I helped those people harm your uncle, they wanted to pay me, but I refused and asked them to owe me a favor instead. So..." Ning Mo’s father started.

Before he could finish, Ning Mo interrupted, "So now it’s time for them to repay that favor!"
