Chapter 109: Dead
The sky finally brightened.
Servants came in one after another to add incense oil and change candles.
Someone vaguely heard some movement in the coffin, and was so frightened that his hand shook, and the incense ash scattered all over the floor.
"Princess, please forgive me," the maid said, her face pale as she knelt on the ground. "There seems to be a sound in the coffin."
Qu Ling didn't even raise his head and said calmly, "It's the sound of the wind."
The maid didn't dare to ask more questions and retreated tremblingly.
Gradually more and more guests came to pay their respects.
The sound of conversation and footsteps filled the mourning hall, completely drowning out the faint struggle in the coffin.
The old lady could clearly hear the noise outside.
"The old lady passed away so suddenly."
"I heard he was fine a few days ago."
"The princess is truly filial, staying at the mourning hall all night."
"What a blessing!"
“…”
When she was on the verge of death, the old lady raised her hand.
She scratched the coffin with her nails desperately, until her fingertips bled, but she couldn't even hear the sound.
The air is getting thinner.
Her chest heaved violently, and she only breathed in the foul air she had exhaled.
My vision began to go dark, my ears started buzzing, and my pupils gradually dilated.
When the last breath of air was exhausted, the old lady took her last breath in endless darkness and despair.
Her eyes were still open, her face was ferocious, and her fingers were bent into claws, as if she wanted to tear something apart before she died.
But in the end, nothing could be torn apart.
Qu Ling stood in front of the coffin, feeling satisfied as the little movement returned to silence.
Although the Dingxiang Marquis's Mansion is not as prestigious as before, all the visitors are dignitaries.
As the son-in-law of the Song family, no one dared to look down on Qu Xin even though he was down and out.
He moved among officials with ease.
There was sadness on his face, but a gleam in his eyes.
Qu Yu was no less enthusiastic and rushed to chat with others.
After a night, He came out to entertain guests as if nothing had happened, and there was no trace of the hysteria from last night.
"I'm a little tired."
Qu Ling looked tired.
Tingqin hurried forward to support her, "Princess, I will help you go back and rest."
"good."
She propped her forehead with her hand and said, "Go call the court doctor."
The person I wanted to kill is dead.
She didn't want to participate in the tedious funeral ceremony that followed, so she just used her illness as an excuse to escape.
"Is the princess feeling unwell?"
Qu Ling raised his eyes and saw a girl whose appearance was not outstanding.
She knows him.
"Miss Wang, I'm sorry for not seeing you just now." Qu Ling nodded slightly.
"Does the princess recognize me?"
Wang Linghe was surprised.
Although she had a close relationship with Qu Ling, they had never met each other. It was the servants who passed on messages.
Qu Ling naturally covered up the past, "Only when I recognize it can I feel at ease."
Wang Linghe believed it.
The princess wanted to find out her background, and there were many ways to do it.
Actually, it is not.
In her previous life, Qu Ling's reputation was ruined and she was forced to marry Wang Yan.
It was Wang Linghe who found her and told her that Wang Qin was a prodigal son.
"You are the daughter of a marquis, why would you suffer such hardship?"
Qu Ling lost his temper at her, "Do you think I want to? It's you Wang family who are plotting against me."
Wang Linghe had a strange expression on his face at the time, but then he suddenly realized.
She asked, "Do you want to kill Wang Yan?"
That was the first time Qu Ling realized that if you hate someone, the most direct way is to kill him.
To some extent, Wang Linghe can also be considered her teacher.
"There is tea in Nuanshanju. Would you like to try it, Miss Wang?" Qu Ling asked.
"The princess just lost her grandmother, so I'm afraid she doesn't have the energy to make tea." Wang Linghe lowered his eyebrows, obviously refusing.
"Princess, take care." She knelt.
Wang Linghe just wanted to see what the woman who cut off Wang Qin's two fingers looked like.
Unexpectedly, she is such a beauty.
There was a smile on her lips that she didn't even notice.
But in Ji's eyes, it was particularly glaring.
"Master, please take her out and try to curry favor with the princess."
Ji really wanted to settle the score with Qu Ling, but she knew her own limitations.
She is a princess, what can she do?
This resentment was finally vented on Wang Linghe.
But Wang Zhongshan didn't think so. He was a businessman.
If the daughter can become good friends with the princess, it will be a hundred benefits for the Wang family.
Although the princess hurt his son.
But she was already injured, and they couldn't do anything to her.
"Linghe, what did you say to the princess?" Wang Zhongshan asked impatiently.
"Nothing, the princess is of noble status, she just asked me where I came from."
Wang Linghe evaded the question casually, "Father, when are we going back?"
Their family did not receive any courtesy in the Marquis' Mansion.
Even if the marriage was granted by His Majesty, in the eyes of these high-ranking officials, they were still lowly merchants.
Wang Zhongshan's ideas were different from hers.
In the past, he would never have dared to think that he could enter the Marquis' Mansion.
This was all planned by him for the Wang family.
"Dad wants to stay a little longer," he said, "you go back with the madam first."
But Ji was not satisfied.
She hasn't met the person she wanted to meet yet.
"This second girl should at least come out to see me. How can she not show up after her grandmother died?"
After all, she is her daughter-in-law.
Ji had never even seen what a human looked like.
"Is this Madam Ji?" A maid came forward to greet her. "I am the second young lady's attendant."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
"What do you want?"
In front of the maids in the Marquis' Mansion, Ji's aura inexplicably diminished.
"My daughter is not feeling well, but she wants to see you, Madam. Would you be willing to go?" Jin Dan was very polite.
Ji agreed subconsciously, but then felt something was wrong.
She is the elder, and no matter how precious the second girl is, she is still the younger one.
There is no reason for her to go and see him.
As he thought this, his footsteps had already followed the golden elixir.
It took quite a distance to walk from the front yard to the back yard.
The Wang family was extremely wealthy, and she had seen many fine things, but she was still overwhelmed by the grandeur of the Marquis's Mansion.
Some things cannot be bought with money.
After entering the inner courtyard, Ji felt a sense of anticipation.
I don’t know what the daughter-in-law the emperor arranged for marriage looks like.
"The girl is inside. Madam, please follow me."
Jindan pushed open the door and saw a woman sitting with her back to the door.
"Miss, Madam Wang is here."
"You go down first."
The door was closed again.
Ji suddenly shuddered.
She looked at the figure in front of her and felt a little displeased.
"Are you the second daughter of the Marquis' Mansion?"
She curled her lips and said, "I am your future mother-in-law, you should also..."
Qu Lianzhi suddenly turned around, and Ji's words stopped abruptly.
The person in front of me, although not very old, exudes a dead air.
His face was pale and his eyes flashed with a terrifying light.
"Are you the slutty servant from the Wang family who betrayed her master by climbing into his bed?"
With just one word from Qu Lianzhi, all the glory of the Ji family collapsed.
