The Ming family was buried on the second day, and there were not many people who came. On the contrary, they were not as good as those who went to the mourning hall to pay homage. In some houses, a housekeeper came directly. Ning Xueyan knew that this was normal, Ping Wife said To put it mildly, it is a wife, and it takes up the position of a wife. To put it bluntly, it is a concubine. If a concubine is gone, what can I ask for.
When worshiping before, Ning Xueyan was still surprised that the person who came here was not low-status, and the flat wife of the Hou's mansion didn't have such a big face, even if it was the Ling family who died this time, it shouldn't be! There are a few of them whose identities are really high, like that prince, who knows the high status and authority at a glance, how could he come to worship his wife!
Even if it was by the way, it is very doubtful, but looking at the way Ning Zuan treated the eunuch, one knows that the background is definitely not small!
But these, she didn't think about it for the time being, she is packing her things now, and is going to Hanshan Temple early tomorrow morning!
"Girl, Lan Ning asked a little maid to ask, when are you coming?" Qingyu lifted the curtain and came in with a small package, which was a little of her luggage.
The Yun Cinema where she used to live is now vacant, and a nice girl threw herself into a lotus pond with her maid. There are many rumors in the house, most of which are that Ning Ziying's behavior is not simple, and she hooked up with a man He got married and became pregnant, but the man always abandoned him and threw himself into the lotus pond. The maid Xiang'er saw that her girl was thrown into a dead end, and she was afraid of taking responsibility, so she followed her.
When Ning Xueyan heard the rumor, she didn't say a word, but said that before she left, she would go to the lotus pond to pay homage to the elder sister of the clan, so Qingyu asked Lan Ning to prepare there. Following Ning Xueyan here is really following Ning Xueyan.
"Little girl?" Ning Xueyan's eyes were dull and indifferent, "Go and tell her, just say that I still have some luggage here, and I'll be there in another hour."
The Yun Cinema has long been empty, so there is no maid who can listen to Lan Ning!
"Yes, I'm going to talk about it now." Qingyu put down the package in her hand and went out, and came back a while later, said a little uneasy: "Miss, don't blame the slave for talking too much, this mansion is full of Da Furen's people, you When and where to go, it is better not to say, so as not to produce any right and wrong again."
The corners of Ning Xueyan's lips were slightly bent, and her fingers slid across the leaves of the potted crabapple on the table: "If madam wants to know, let her know."
Ling Shi has suffered such a big loss again and again, how can she hold her breath, last night I heard that there was a lot of trouble in her Yunxia Courtyard, Ning Zuan and Ling Shi had a quarrel, I heard it was still After slapping Ling Shi twice, he left the inner courtyard and fell asleep in the study. With Ling Shi's temperament, how could he let it go.
"Girl, you mean you knew it earlier?" Seeing that Ning Xueyan didn't seem to be suffering, Qingyu's eyes lit up.
"Know what?" Ning Xueyan stood up with a slight smile, put the sachet at her side into the sewing basket beside her, clapped her hands and said slyly: "Anyway, the time Madam knows is different from our time, you take Some water, I'll wash it off."
Seeing that the girl looked confident, Qingyu also calmed down, went to fetch water, waited for Ning Xueyan to wash her hands, and the two of them went to the cloud theater together.
Yun Theater is far away from Mingshuang Courtyard. The two courtyards are on the side corners, but one is in the northeast corner, and the other is in the southeast corner, separated by an inner courtyard. Both master and servant threw themselves into the lotus pond, and along the way, they didn't even meet anyone.
On the other side, they actually started to build a wall, as if they wanted to separate the Yun Theater from the Huguohou's mansion.
The courtyard gate of Yun Cinema is half-opened obliquely, and it is not popular at all. Although it was very remote before, at least there are gatekeepers chatting at the gate. There are also many wives. When Ning Xueyan came to the Huguohou Mansion, she thought that the Ling family was really kind and generous. If not, she would not have moved all the dowry into the Huguohou Mansion instead of listening to the wet nurse. Leave some outside and see what happens.
Looking at this familiar courtyard gate, Ning Xueyan couldn't bear the slightest disturbance at this time, and walked into the courtyard, and just arrived at the gate, and saw a little maid at the gate looking around, who hadn't seen it through the wall before. Ning Xueyan, this meeting found that Ning Xueyan was too late, she seemed to be frightened, she opened her mouth in astonishment, and wanted to scream.
Ning Xueyan took two steps forward, raised her hand high, and slapped fiercely. The little girl who hit her took two steps back and fell to the ground. The exclamation in her mouth turned into a low cry of pain , covered his mouth with one hand, and was suddenly beaten.
Qingyu also reacted quickly, she took two steps forward, held down the little girl, the handkerchief in her hand blocked the little girl's mouth fiercely, and the blocked little girl kept rolling her eyes.
Not caring about looking at the little maid again, Ning Xueyan hurriedly walked to the second room on the right side of the side room, which was Lan Ning's bedroom.
The door was ajar, and it was pushed open as soon as it was pushed. Many tables and chairs in the room were overturned on the ground. It was obvious at a glance that something had happened. Lan Ning on the bedside was pressed tightly by a rough woman and half knelt there. A bowl of black medicine was being poured into Lan Ning's mouth. Lan Ning struggled desperately, but couldn't break free.
Ning Xueyan was furious, took two steps forward, grabbed the old woman's bun, and pulled it back fiercely. The old woman was in pain, and couldn't hold the medicine in her hand, so she fell down, hurting herself and Lan Ning was all over her head and body, Lan Ning pushed her away fiercely, and also took the opportunity to escape from her hands.
"Who doesn't have a good eye, dare to hinder Madam's actions." The old lady wiped the medicinal soup on her face, and scolded without seeing who it was.
In the flash of lightning, Ning Xueyan understood that Ling Shi really hated herself. If she hadn't come early, Lan Ning would have died by their hands. When she came over by herself, the dead Lan Ning , could it just be on her own head, she was even sure that Ling's family would have a next step, and she would not be able to argue at that time.
"Fifth Miss, let me go quickly. I was sent by the Da Furen. It was this girl who killed Ning Ziying. The Da Furen sent me here just to put this murderous girl to death. You can't be bad." It's about Mrs. Ma'am." This woman is also very clever, when she saw that it was Ning Xueyan, she rolled her eyes and immediately opened her mouth to make up a panic.
She really didn't think that Ning Xueyan dared to do anything to her, she said it outrightly, pulled Ning Xueyan's hand away, stood up, even straightened her neck proudly, suddenly seemed to remember something, pointed at Ning Xueyan sneered and said:
"Fifth Miss, didn't you say that you will come here in an hour! I'm going to tell Madam Hou Ye right now, I didn't expect Fifth Miss to be so scheming, everything she did was premeditated, see if Da Furen will spare you!"
After finishing speaking, he was about to walk out proudly.
Although Ling Shi had doubts about everything that happened before, she thought it was an accident. If Ling Shi realized that everything was planned by Ning Xueyan, and realized that Ning Xueyan was deliberately pretending to be stupid, she would definitely attack immediately. killed her.
The broken sound was accompanied by a dying roar, the woman's head was covered with blood, and she fell limply on the ground like a dead pig. Ning Xueyan stood beside her with cold eyes, and the vase in her hand was only left with the blood-stained bottom. Broken porcelain on the ground was all over the place, blood-colored.
At this time, Lan Ning was also relieved, but still calmed down, bent down, touched the mother-in-law's breath, and said tremblingly: "She...she's dead!"
Ning Xueyan looked coldly at the woman who was lying on the ground, if she was let go, she would die!
"Girl, this servant accidentally smothered... that little girl to death..." Qingyu ran in in a panic, seeing the blood stains in the room, her face became stiff with fright, and she couldn't even speak.
That one is also dead, but it's just right!
Ning Xueyan put down the bottom of the vase in her hand and said to Lan Ning, "Go to the side room on the left where the sundries are stored and get two sacks, put two people into the sacks, tie stones on them, and sink to the sack not far from the back door. In the lake."
When she entered the mansion, she brought in the relics left by her parents. The sacks and the like were still in the utility room.
Lan Ning looked at her in astonishment, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say much, and turned to get it.
The back door of Yun Theater is in a hidden corner, when Ning Xueyan came, it was already evening, the sky was darker at this time, and the location was desolate, so someone died, it was very ominous, no one came here, The three of them put the two dead ones in bags, hung them with stones, and threw them into the lake in the garden, and then came back to clean up the layers. Lan Ning only brought a small package, and followed Ning Xueyan out of the courtyard. .
The Yun Theater was already empty, and the belongings that originally filled several rooms were either cheated by Ling and Ning Ziyan, or they were completely moved the day before the wedding, and all were carried into the gate of Xia Mansion. As soon as the servants heard that their master was gone, they all ran away and found other jobs. Only Lan Ning stayed behind, guarding the empty courtyard.
Watching Lan Ning close the courtyard door, a stern look flashed in Ning Xue's eyes. She must let the couple suffer retribution, greedy her money, killed her life, and drowned her in the water the day before they got married. It's so vicious, it's unacceptable...
Back at Mingshuang Courtyard, Nanny Han had been waiting at the door for a long time, and she was relieved when she saw Ning Xueyan bringing someone over.
Several people entered the yard together, Qingyu took Lan Ning to resettle, and Han Nanny followed Ning Xueyan into the house.
"Girl, this is from the eldest girl. She said it was for you. It is her kindness. After returning to the door, she will go to Hanshan Temple to accompany the girl." The table is full of gifts, and there are several horses. Gorgeous satin, you can tell it's expensive at first glance, but the gorgeous color doesn't seem to be worn by a person who just lost his birth mother.
It is clear that Ning Ziyan got married, others gave her a few pieces of satin, and took a few pieces of satin for herself, but wanted others to show gratitude, just like Ling's, she was obviously vicious, but she was still deceiving the world and stealing her name.
"Han Nanny, send these pieces of satin to Mrs. Tai, and say that the elder sister gave it to me, but I can't wear it now, and I can't refuse the kindness of the eldest sister, so I borrow flowers to present to Mrs. Tai." Ning Xueyan said lightly. In other words, everything about Ning Ziyan is for others to see.
Sisters are friendly, and others see them surrounded by flowers. If you know what she used to get married and give it to a bereaved mother, I don't know if the wife in the mansion will think that she is innocent!
"Girl, where are those boxes of rouge and gouache? Do you want to send them to Mrs. Tai too?" Nanny Han also felt uncomfortable looking at these pieces of satin. After hearing Ning Xueyan's words, she nodded and went on again. Pointing to the several boxes of bright red rouge and gouache delivered together with the satin, she asked in disgust, these festive colors, the eldest girl is also ashamed to send them here.
