Chapter 370: Ning Tan's face was hurt and he committed suicide

Ning Tan calmed down and twisted the handkerchief in his hand: "Hiring someone to kill someone is a huge handle.

Letting me go would be like letting a tiger back into the mountains. They might let me go.

They just want to tie me to the same boat, so that we can rise and fall together."

"Then how was it resolved?" Wen Yan asked curiously.

Ning Tan glanced around before leaning over to whisper in Wen Yan's ear, "They wanted to destroy the body first and then use the marriage certificate and money... His death is a trap for me, and I feel guilty. Thanks to Brother Meng's brilliant strategy, not only did they not succeed, but they also implicated Prince Fu."

Prince Fu is a famous gossip master in the capital.

He not only loves to listen, but also loves to spread it everywhere.

Any news that came out of his mouth would be known to the whole city within two hours.

Even the old women in the capital who make a living by spreading gossip cannot catch up to one tenth of him.

Because of his high status, others dare not hold him accountable.

Meng Xiyan's move was simply cutting off the source of the problem.

How dare the Qian family challenge Prince Fu? Furthermore, our family is determined to fight to the death. Fearing that the matter would escalate, the Qian family had no choice but to agree to cancel the engagement."

Wen Yan boasted, "How about it, Brother Meng is not bad, right?"

Ning Tan praised sincerely, "He really is a very good person."

Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Meng Xiyan’s wife is going to be given the nice guy card before he even pursues her?

After the two of them finished their whispers, Wen Yan took out a brocade box from her bag and said, "This is for Sister Ning Tan."

"What is it?" Ning Tan opened it curiously.

I found a pink pearl necklace inside.

The necklace is made of three strands of rice beads twisted together, looking simple and elegant.

Ning Tan immediately pushed the box back to Wen Yan: "No, this is too valuable, I can't take it."

Wen Yan lifted her sleeves, revealing the white jade bracelet on her wrist: "Then this one you gave me is not valuable?"

"But you have already given me a hairpin."

"That silver hairpin is just a token of my love. How can it compare to our love? I prepared this necklace especially for you. If you don't want it, do you think you don't consider me a sister?"

Ning Tan burst out laughing: "You have a good memory. You repeated to me exactly what I said."

"How else can we be sisters?!" Wen Yan took out the necklace with a smile, "Let me help you put it on."

Wen Yan took out the necklace and prepared to put it on Ning Tan.

Wen Yan pouted and asked curiously, "Sister Ning Tan, why are you wearing a veil?

The doors and windows are closed, and you have no relationship with the Qian family anymore, so it should be okay for you to show up now.

Let me help you take off the veil."

Wen Yan asked for her opinion.

Wen Yan will know about this sooner or later.

Ning Tan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Wen Yan untied the veil and took it off, revealing Ning Tan's face.

Wen Yan took a breath and said, "Sister Ning Tan, your face..."

Ning Tan smiled and said, "Isn't it scary? I hope it didn't scare you!"

There was a scar on each of Ning Tan's cheeks.

Spread from the cheekbones to the corners of the mouth.

The scars were twisted and winding, baring their fangs and claws, with bloody red buds, looking like two earthworms crawling on her face.

"Sister Ning Tan, what's going on with your face flyer?"

Ning Tan touched his cheek, and couldn't help but recall what happened on the day of his disfigurement.

Ning Tan's grandfather, uncle, father, mother and brother took her to the Qian family.

"Master Xie really likes Ning Tan. Even though Ning Tan will be a concubine if she marries him, as long as she serves Master Xie well, her life will be more comfortable than that of a wife.

Moreover, the Xie family is a wealthy and powerful family with a history of thousands of years and a complex network of influence.

"Your Ning family's ascent to the Xie family is a real success. The Ning family, a century-old elite, has suddenly become a branch of a thousand-year-old aristocratic family. This is something that others would never be able to achieve even if they tried their best."

“Emperors may change, but the aristocratic families remain forever.

Ning Tan, listen to your aunt's advice. As long as you hold on to the big tree of the Xie family, your elder brother and younger brother will have rapid success in their official careers.

What would have taken a lifetime of hard work to achieve can now be achieved in just three to five years with the help of the Xie family.

Ning sighed, you are resisting Master Xie now because you have never met him.

Young Master Xie is handsome, elegant and refined. He fell in love with you at first sight and has liked you for three or four years without giving up. It can be seen how deeply he loves you.

Although there are many men in the world, those who are as affectionate as Master Xie are rare.

You must not ruin your life's happiness because of a momentary impulse.

Besides, you can't ignore your brothers just for your own selfish reasons!

If you offend the Xie family, not only your brothers, but even your father and uncles will have their careers hindered."

I have to say that the Qian family is really good at speaking.

They analyzed family interests and personal gains and losses in great detail.

Not to mention the old man of the Ning family, even Ning's father was shaken after hearing it.

After Ning Tan entered the room, he didn't say a word except for bowing.

She looked humble and submissive.

In fact, she was always paying attention to the reactions of everyone in the Ning family.

She found that except for her eldest brother, even her mother was shaken for a moment, although she quickly stood firm.

But why is there a sudden sadness between my brother's brows?

Ning's mother was at a loss.

Fortunately, as soon as Ning Tan entered Ningjing, she whispered a few reminders to Ning's mother.

Ning's mother immediately asked loudly: "You speak so highly of the Xie family, what does it have to do with your Qian family?

If the Xie family likes my daughter, they can just come directly to discuss marriage. Why do they have to go through your Qian family?

Besides, what we are talking about now is the case of the second wife of the Qian family hiring a killer to kill someone.

If you are unwilling to compensate and cancel the engagement, then we don't mind going to Jingzhao Prefecture and letting the government decide who is right and who is wrong.

I know your Qian family is powerful, and Jingzhao Prefecture doesn't dare to take this case. So I'll go and beat the drum and file a complaint with the emperor!"

Ning's mother spoke so forcefully that the Qian family members' expressions changed.

They didn't want to cancel the engagement because after the cancellation, Ning Tan would become a daughter of the Ning family. Even if she was related to the Xie family, she would have nothing to do with the Qian family.

The Qian family didn't get any benefit at all.

They are unwilling to see the fat meat that is about to fall into their mouths fly away?

Seeing that Ning's mother was unmoved, the Qian family said that this was a matter between men and women were not allowed to interfere. Then they played the emotional card with Grandpa Ning, saying that the Qian family had been very good to Ning Tan in recent years, and mentioned Ning Tan's deceased fiancé.

Grandpa Ning began to sway again.

At this moment, Ning Tan suddenly asked, "Madam Qian, what exactly does Mr. Xie see in me? Is it because of my pretty face?"

The eldest lady of the Qian family covered her lips and said with a smile, "Your beautiful face is just a stepping stone. Master Xie is attracted to you because of your appearance and admires your character. Ah - what are you doing!"

Before the eldest lady of the Qian family could finish her words, Ning Tan pulled out a pair of hairpins from her head and slashed them fiercely on both sides of her face.

Blood immediately gushed out of her cheek.

In an instant, her clothes were dyed red.
