A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

He was very happy. He was going to be a father again!

Ning Chen carefully stepped forward to support Qin Shi. “Wife, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? Do you want to eat? Do you need water?”

“Oh, you’re so long-winded. Let’s go.” Qin Shi brought Ning Chen back to her room. She had too much to tell her husband.

!!

Old Master Ning was also very happy. His son had returned with honor. He was very proud to have this son!

The Ning family stayed in the capital just like that. Ning Yue thought that Old Master Ning would more or less escape and not dare to go out.

However, she did not expect that not only did Old Master Ning not escape, but he also went out to shop every day. His favorite place was the teahouse where he could chat and listen to people.

Everything could be heard in the teahouse.

On this day, Old Master Ning came to the teahouse as usual. As he listened to everyone’s conversation, someone happened to mention the Ning family.

Old Master Ning couldn’t help but prick up his ears and listen quietly.

“Do you know? This Marquis Dingyuan is related to General Zhenbei!” One of them said softly.

When Old Master Ning heard this, he frowned. What did their Ning family have to do with General Zhenbei?

However, in the next moment, he remembered that General Zhenbei was Ning Yue’s father! Their family had nothing to do with Ning Yue’s father!

Seeing that the group of people was getting more and more enthusiastic, Old Master Ning couldn’t help but say, “Are you wrong? Marquis Dingyuan and General Zhenbei have nothing to do with each other, right?”

“Oh! You don’t know this, right? The son of my second aunt’s husband’s uncle works under General Zhenbei. He told me. I heard that General Zhenbei and Marquis Dingyuan are biological brothers! Isn’t it common for biological brothers to like the same woman?”

Hearing this, Old Master Ning’s eyes widened. It was true that he and Ning Feng had the same surname, but they were different!

“Don’t talk nonsense. The new emperor hates gossip the most. If you talk nonsense, you might be questioned,” Old Master Ning said.

When that person heard this, he was unhappy. “Who do you think you are? The new emperor is wise and mighty. He won’t waste his time on such things. Moreover, what I said is true. What my relative said is true! You’re the one who talks nonsense. If the new emperor wants to punish someone, he’ll punish you first!” With that, that person rolled his eyes at Old Master Ning.

Old Master Ning was angry. “How can Marquis Dingyuan and General Zhenbei be biological brothers? There’s a difference in seniority!”

He was Marquis Dingyuan. Ning Yue was Ning Feng’s daughter, and Ning Yue called him grandfather. They were from different generations. How could he like her?

At his age, the only woman he loved in his life was his wife. How was it as this person had said?

The more Old Master Ning thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply threw out his jade token.

Although this was only a teahouse, these people were from the capital after all. They had all seen the world and were shocked to see the jade token the old man had slapped on the table.

“You’re Marquis Dingyuan?!” The expression of the person who said that the Marquis Dingyuan’s family was related to General Zhenbei’s family changed.

He hurriedly knelt down in front of Old Master Ning. “Greetings, Marquis Dingyuan. It’s my fault. I spoke nonsense!”

The man apologized as he slapped himself hard on the mouth. In the end, his mouth was swollen.

Old Master Ning couldn’t stand it anymore. “Alright, stop hitting yourself. In the future, you have to be careful not to say these things carelessly. If the emperor hears about this, something will happen.”

The old man’s original intention was to stop this person from talking nonsense. Unexpectedly, that person became even more afraid when he heard this.

“I was wrong. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have said anything.” He kept kowtowing until his forehead bled.

Old Master Ning frowned even more. “Alright, I already said that I don’t blame you. Go back.”

With that, Old Master Ning left unhappily.

The next day, an official came to the Ning family to ask Old Master Ning about yesterday.

“What happened?” Old Master Ning asked the official after answering a few questions.
