Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 182: Exile? Jiaofangsi? You choose.

Chen Yindi said cautiously, "I want to stay by your side as a slave and follow you for the rest of my life."

Ning Zhiwei said meaningfully, "I don't accept slaves."

Chen Yindi's disappointment was evident in her words, but she heard a voice in her ear: "But I will accept students."

Chen Yindi's eyes suddenly widened, and then she immediately knelt on the ground and bowed deeply, "Master, please accept my student's greetings."

Ning Zhiwei waved her hand and said, "Don't do that yet. I haven't started to recruit disciples yet. The title of the founding disciple is not something that ordinary people can become."

Chen Yindi's blood was boiling. She knew that the opportunity to change her fate had finally arrived. "I am willing to give it a try."

Ning Zhiwei planned to recruit a few disciples to lead his own team and train them himself, so that they would be more convenient to use.

"What do you want to do in the future? Or, what kind of person do you want to be?"

Chen Yindi said without hesitation, "Someone like you is powerful and fearless, and can control his own destiny."

Ning Zhiwei was quite satisfied with this answer. He had his own ideas, ambitions, and a strong character. "What do you think should be done with the families of those criminal officials?"

She changed the subject so quickly that Chen Yindi was stunned for a moment. "According to the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, the family members of the criminal officials were reduced to slavery and exiled to a cold and bitter place on the border, or taken into the Jiaofangsi."

Ning Zhiwei was a little surprised, "You can read? Have you read the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty?"

"Yes, I really want to know what will happen to him." Chen Yindi's expression was very complicated. "As for literacy, my last stepmother, in order to show her virtue, personally taught me the Hundred Family Surnames, Thousand Character Classic and needlework. She judged by deeds rather than heart, which was pretty good compared to the vicious woman who came after me."

Ning Zhiwei pondered for a while, "Go ask the families of those criminal officials whether they want to be exiled to the frontier or to the Jiaofangsi?"

Chen Yindi was smart and knew that this was a test for her, so she accepted it without hesitation, "Yes."

Next door, the families of the criminal officials were imprisoned. They looked depressed, their eyes were dull, and they were filled with despair and fear.

Their backers are gone! Where will they go in the future? How will the Princess of Jingning deal with them? Will she kill them?

The door was pushed open, and a thin woman walked in. When Mrs. Chen saw her, her eyes were bloodshot and she was furious. "Chen Yindi, how dare you come? You killed your own father. You are a beast. You will be struck by lightning."

If her hands and feet weren't still tied, she would have rushed over and beat the guy up, her heart filled with hatred.

Chen Yindi looked at her coldly. This domineering woman who had bullied her for more than ten years was now like a lost dog.

"I'm not afraid, you might as well think about your own fate."

Mrs. Chen was shocked and angry, "What do you mean?"

Chen Yindi's expression became serious. "I am following the order of Princess Jingning to ask everyone, do you want to be exiled to the frontier, or do you want to go to the Jiaofangsi? Choose one of the two. Make your choice."

A young man asked cautiously, "What if you don't choose any of them?"

"Just die." Chen Yindi's tone was terribly cold.

The audience was silent.

Madam Chen's face was as pale as paper. Her father had retired and no longer had any power. Even if he had, it was nothing in front of the powerful Princess Jingning.

She even dared to kill officials, ignored the law, and did not take the court seriously. She was extremely arrogant.

Therefore, Mrs. Chen planned to go to the capital to denounce Ning Zhiwei after she escaped from the predicament, so that she would never be able to turn over a new leaf.

Her mind raced, "You... Chen Yindi, your brothers and sisters are still young, can you bear to let them live a hard life? They all have the same blood as you."

Except for Chen Yindi, the other three girls and two boys were all born to Mrs. Chen. They followed her example and took pleasure in humiliating Chen Yindi.

Chen Yindi didn't feel any brotherly love for them. Who would like a sibling who abused them for no reason?

"You were so ruthless when you beat me, so why shouldn't I be ruthless when I see you suffering?"

The Chen family's children glared at Chen Yindi with fierce eyes, and they had not yet figured out their situation.

"You..." Mrs. Chen's eyes rolled around, and suddenly she pinched her eldest son secretly.

Chen Dawa burst into tears, "Sister, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. Sister, please save me. I am your biological brother. You will have to rely on me for support when you get married in the future."

He beat Chen Yindi the hardest, and when Chen Shihao saw it, he would only say, "Sister and brother, don't go too far." This showed the hypocrisy and cruelty to the fullest.

Mrs. Chen pleaded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, Yindi, your brothers are the roots of your Chen family. Be nice to them. You will still rely on them in the future. Think about it, a woman without a mother's family will not be respected by anyone and will not have a good life."

Chen Yindi found it ridiculous. What was the point of pretending to be pitiful now? "I have no plans to get married. As for the inferior roots of the Chen family, let's just cut them off."

She is eighteen years old this year and covered with wounds. How can she get married?

Chen Da was furious, and the young master's temper flared up. He kicked her habitually, "Bitch, go to hell."

However, he forgot that he was tied up, his balance was unstable, and he fell out.

The Chen family cried for their parents and cried together.

Chen Yindi was not affected at all. "It seems that your whole family is determined to follow Chen Shihao. I will help you."

The Chen family members stopped crying and were filled with fear. "Chen Yindi, you turned your back on me once you gained power. If the county lady knew that you were such a heartless person who didn't care about family affection, would she still value you?"

"What kind of relatives are you?" Chen Yindi ignored them and looked at the others, "What about you? I'll count to ten. If you don't choose, I'll make the decision for you."

"one two Three……"

Others were timid and said, “I choose, I go to the frontier.”

"I...I'm going to the Jiaofangsi."

There were so many people, making so much noise and chaos that Chen Yindi was upset. "Those going to the border stand here, and those going to the Jiaofangsi stand there. Divide into two groups. I will do a count."

Soon, everyone made their choice, even the Chen family made their choice silently.

Chen Yindi handed the record book to Ning Zhiwei, "County Lady, there are 42 people going to the border, 15 men, 10 women, and 17 children under the age of seven."

"There are 23 people from the Jiaofangsi."

Ning Zhiwei browsed around and saw a few familiar names. "Your stepmother and sister both chose the Jiaofangsi. Aren't you afraid that one day they will be favored by a noble and come back to seek revenge on you?"

Overall, she was very satisfied with Chen Yindi's performance. She was efficient and not restrained by the so-called family affection, and she completely cut off ties with them.

She hates those who are not clear-headed the most.

Chen Yindi thought about it seriously, "That would only make me stronger and more powerful, and I would become someone they could never reach."

Since the county lord doesn't want to kill anyone, just don't kill. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

This intelligence surpasses countless others. Ning Zhiwei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Where is the food and grass?"

Chen Yindi was ecstatic. Was this her condition? "Please follow me."
