In her previous life, Shen Ningyuan was deeply devoted to her husband. Not only did she willingly live as a widow for him, but she also used her dowry to support his family.
However, in retur...
Chapter 321: Hundreds of Coffins Lead the Way
Lan Yin looked at her timidly, with an indescribable emotion in her eyes.
The two looked at each other for a long time, Shen Ningyuan sighed and spoke.
"Have you figured it out?"
The voice was indifferent, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
Lan Yin's heart skipped a beat.
At the same time, it became clearer that the unintentional words he said last time had indeed angered the young lady.
Without any warning, he fell to his knees with a thud.
The sound of knees hitting the ground is enough to make your scalp tingle just by listening to it.
Shen Ningyuan saw her like this, but her expression remained the same.
He just raised his eyebrows lightly, unwilling to waste any more time talking to her.
"You and I have been master and servant for a long time. You have served me for so many years. I believe you know what to say and what not to say."
Lan Yin's heart instantly turned devastated, and her face turned as pale as paper.
He pursed his lips but no words came out for a long time.
I really don’t know how to defend myself?
Chen Ningyuan looked at her without any warmth in his eyes, "Get up, when this matter is over, I will return your indenture to you, and that will be the end of our relationship as master and servant."
Lan Yin knew that once the young lady made a decision, there was no room for change.
I felt extremely sad.
But I also understand that once words are spoken, they are like water spilled, and it is impossible to take them back.
After bowing her head heavily several times, Lan Yin staggered out of the house, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Shen Ningyuan watched her disappear into thin air, feeling a pang of bitterness in her heart.
Once unfaithful, never to be trusted again.
This is her principle of doing things.
No matter who it is or what it is, no one can make her break her principles easily.
Even the servants who had been with him for many years were the same.
There will be no preferential treatment.
That afternoon, all the Ji family members in Marquis An Ning's mansion were taken away by the imperial guards.
As for where to go specifically, Shen Ningyuan did not specifically ask.
After all, it’s better to mind your own business when it comes to things that have nothing to do with you.
But it goes without saying that the beheading will take place at the Meridian Gate tomorrow, and it is definitely not possible to do so in the Dali Temple.
Maybe it's a cell with strict guards.
The night passed in a flash.
Because she had something on her mind, Shen Ningyuan woke up early.
When I woke up, it was pitch black outside.
He stared out the window with lifeless eyes.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sky finally turned pale.
Chen Ningyuan couldn't wait to turn over and get off the bed. Yi Ge, who was guarding the compartment, was instantly awakened when he heard the noise in the room.
Help her dress and wash.
Shen Ningyuan sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the face in the bronze mirror, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a bright smile.
That’s great!
Finally, I am going to escape from the sea of suffering!
To leave this nightmare place.
Yi Ge skillfully combed her hair into a flying bun and selected hair accessories from a jewelry box inlaid with oriental pearls.
Chen Ningyuan raised her hand and gently stroked her hair. "I will wear that set of ruby head ornaments today. After all, it is a happy event, so I have to dress festively."
Yi Ge naturally would not object.
Soon, the dressing was done.
Chen Ningyuan went to the storehouse and counted the dowry again. After confirming that everything was correct, she walked around the mansion slowly in a relaxed mood.
Because after leaving today, I probably will never set foot here again in my life.
Just as she was strolling leisurely, Yi Ge came over hurriedly and whispered something in her ear.
After Shen Ningyuan heard this, the look in his eyes changed slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure.
"Go there in person, and ask the eldest and second brothers to come with you. Don't forget what I told you to do."
Yi Ge felt a little reluctant before, but just now he secretly learned what Ji Yunnuo was going to do in secret.
The last bit of reluctance had long since dissipated with the wind.
No longer exists.
There was even a hint of hatred.
It was because Ji Yunnuo secretly planned to prevent the young lady from leaving, and also wanted to exonerate the young lady.
After receiving the instructions, Yi Ge left in a hurry.
After suddenly receiving such news, Shen Ningyuan's interest in strolling around was instantly gone.
"Ling Qing, I'm sure you know what happened in the mansion."
As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her.
He looked a little embarrassed.
“Miss Shen, don’t worry, the master has already installed and arranged everything properly, and there will be no accidents today.”
Shen Ningyuan lazily lifted her eyelids, glanced at him inexplicably, sneered, and said lightly.
"I hope so!"
She doesn't trust anyone, and the person she trusts most is herself.
Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to take the initiative into your own hands.
Ling Qing did not explain much.
It’s better to do things beautifully than to say a lot.
In the blink of an eye it was already quarter past three.
Chen Ningyuan was dressed in an ivory-white wide-sleeved flowing fairy dress that made her look like a fairy. The ruby headdress made her look even more radiant. Under the gaze of everyone, she was helped by Yi Ge to board a luxuriously decorated rosewood carriage.
"It's almost time, get up the sedan and set off!"
Following her order, hundreds of coffins made of the finest golden nanmu wood were slowly carried out from the main entrance of An Ning Marquis' Mansion.
Following closely behind were more than one hundred sets of dowry, and at the end was a luxurious rosewood carriage.
Obviously, the carriage was used as a support.
The people sitting inside were naturally Shen Ningyuan and Yi Ge.
Behind the carriage, there was a pair of guards consisting of dozens of people.
Everyone was in high spirits, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
He has such an aura that it is hard to look down on him.
Such a grand scene slowly left the An Ning Marquis Mansion and soon arrived at the long street.
Such a peculiar team instantly attracted the attention of many people in the capital.
The coffin led the way, and there were more than a hundred people carrying the dowry behind it. This scene seemed weird no matter how you looked at it.
What happened?
Word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, the long street was filled with people watching the fun.
Seeing such a rare scene, everyone naturally wanted to join in the fun.
Chen Ningyuan estimated that the time was about right, raised her eyebrows slightly, and then shifted her gaze to Yi Ge beside her.
"Is everything arranged?"
Yi Ge was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.
"Don't worry, I'll do my job."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of music outside, which was very joyful.
The cheerful sound of suona is heard everywhere.
The corners of Shen Ningyuan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bright smile.
How can we not play music on such a beautiful day?
With a turn of his eyes, he lifted a corner of the gauze curtain and looked outside.
With just one glance, Shen Ningyuan was stunned.
Both sides of the long street were crowded with people, men, women, young and old.
From little children with yellow hair to elderly people in their seventies, there are rich young men in bright clothes and also poor people in tattered clothes.
Looking ahead, there is no end in sight.
A large dark area.
Everyone was whispering to each other.
Everyone was discussing what had happened.
