Chapter 117: Plotting Against Tianxing Again_1
At this moment in the great hall of the Ning Family, with the patriarch and the matriarch at the helm, the room was filled with members of the Ning clan.
On the left side sat the head of the Ning Family, Ning Changsheng, and his wife, Long Lirong.
Beneath Long Lirong were their son, Ning Yu, and their daughter-in-law, Weng Lanlan, who cradled in her arms their eight-year-old son, Ning Ziyi.
Sitting further down was the above-average looking young girl, known as the fourth-generation daughter of the Ning Family, prophesied to be born with the destiny of a phoenix—Shen Tianxing’s biological sister, Ning Fengyi.
From the name of Ning Fengyi alone, one could understand the profound expectations the entire Ning Family had placed upon her, hoping that one day she would leap through the dragon’s gate and lead the Ning Family on a soaring ascendancy.
On the right side sat the patriarch’s daughter, Ning Changxiu, and her husband, Cao Kunluan.
The background of the Cao Family was not inferior to that of the Ning Family, and over the years, through marital alliances, they had come to rely on each other, forming a united front. The influence of both families in the capital had been steadily increasing.
Cao Kunluan was also quite capable, and the patriarch thought very highly of his son-in-law. When there were matters at home, he liked to discuss them with Cao. Cao’s ruthless methods had indeed solved many problems for the Ning Family.
And Cao Kunluan was also very optimistic about Ning Fengyi, who was said to be born with the destiny of a phoenix. He thought that if Ning Fengyi really could become the future First Lady, then the Cao Family would be boarding a gigantic ship, ready to set sail.
Previously, when the news of Dugu Zixi’s recovery spread, the Ning Family rejoiced, thinking that the opportunity for Ning Fengyi to leap through the dragon’s gate had finally come.
