Chapter 7 Let’s prepare for the afterlife
Deng Youning was not polite at all. She wanted to kill him directly to avenge her broken hands and feet in her previous life.
Her calm answer and unfathomable martial arts skills really stunned the three members of the Deng family.
This little girl who looked like she was helpless was actually stronger than Deng Yi, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was eight feet tall? !
And what she just said.
So calm, cool and unyielding, could he really be a country bumpkin who grew up in the valley?
"That's enough, Yi'er, have you had enough of making trouble?"
Han Qiongyue never expected that her grandson would be so crazy.
With the old lady's pressure on him, Deng Yi did not dare to act rashly again.
"How is Lian'er doing?"
Walking to the bed, Han Qiongyue asked.
The imperial physician looked remorseful and ashamed.
He bowed his hands and apologized: "My Lord, Madam, I am incompetent and cannot save the young lady..."
Before he could finish his words, the anxious Deng Yi grabbed him by the collar.
"Please explain clearly what you mean? Is the person beyond saving?"
His cannibalistic look frightened the imperial physician so much that his facial features frowned.
Han Qiongyue sighed helplessly, "Yier, don't be rude."
Deng Yi then put the imperial physician down angrily.
"Alas, I have been treating patients for more than 30 years. Based on my experience, the young lady is already gone. Even if a Daluo Jinxian came, it would be difficult to save her. You should quickly prepare for her funeral."
As soon as he finished speaking, the imperial physician left with the medicine box as if he was escaping.
He was afraid that if he stayed in the Deng family any longer, he would be skinned alive by the mentally ill prince.
Upon hearing the news of Deng Xuelian's death, the three members of the Deng family rushed to her bedside and burst into tears.
That scene was even more miserable than when I cried at my mother's funeral.
"Can anyone tell me what exactly happened when Lian'er hanged herself?"
Han Qiongyue felt that this matter was a little strange.
Although she didn't know Deng Xuelian very well, she knew that ambitious people like her would definitely value their lives and would not let themselves die easily, let alone commit suicide.
However, the three members of the Deng family seemed to have not heard what the old lady Han Qiongyue said, and continued to mourn for Deng Xuelian.
Seeing this, Deng Xuelian's personal maid Yu Lian could only stand up:
"Madam, my young lady is preparing the things for the blood test and everything is going as usual."
"But when you said there was no need to test, she looked a little strange."
"Later, the servants were busy outside and didn't take care of the young lady. When they came back, they saw that the young lady had hanged herself."
Yu Lian said while sobbing.
His voice was choked, but Deng Youning saw it clearly and there were no tears in his eyes.
"You mean I said that I would not allow the blood test, so I forced her to death?"
Han Qiongyue was so angry that she lost her mind. She now suspected that if she had agreed to the blood test just now, the one who was forced to commit suicide now would be her Ningning!
"I dare not."
Yu Lian hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Deng Zheng, who was mourning for Deng Xuelian, turned his head slightly and looked at the old mother who was even aggressive towards a maid, and suddenly felt melancholy.
"Mother, if you hadn't brought back this girl who I don't know if she has my blood or not, Lian'er wouldn't have died."
"Yulian is just a maid. You should consider that she has served Lian'er for many years. Even if she has no credit, she has worked hard. Please don't bother with her."
"All faults are borne by my son alone."
With just a few words, Deng Zheng shifted all the blame onto Han Qiongyue.
Instead, he portrayed himself as a filial son and a good father.
Han Qiongyue covered her heart with her hands, her face was pale and her breathing was rapid.
My grandmother is almost mad at my father!
"Grandma, please sit down first. Even if it's for Ningning, don't get angry!"
She helped Han Qiongyue sit down first, patted her on the back to calm her down.
Then, she bowed slightly to Deng Yi and said:
"My Lord, forgive me for being blunt, but my grandmother did nothing wrong in bringing me back. If you insist on blaming her for Deng Xuelian's death, it's not only unfilial, but also a malicious fabrication."
"That maid has made it very clear. Deng Xuelian committed suicide."
"And the reason for her suicide can only be that she didn't have the right mentality, couldn't accept her identity as an adopted daughter, and was jealous."
Deng Youning straightened her back, held her head high, looked at the family of three generously and without shyness, and said these words.
Before officially acknowledging his ancestral roots, Deng Youning was reluctant to call Deng Zheng "father".
He doesn't deserve it!
"Why...why do you say that about your sister?"
Gu looked at Deng Youning in disbelief.
"I am just making an objective analysis. Of course, you don't have to listen."
Deng Youning's tone was neither salty nor bland, without any emotional fluctuations.
It was also because of this that the Deng family couldn't see through her and felt uneasy.
Deng Yi was young and energetic and he couldn't help himself.
"Deng Youning, shut up! If you say anything else, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Deng Youning snorted coldly, without even looking at him, and said disdainfully:
"With your ability, you will not be my opponent even after 20 years."
"Besides, your good sister is not dead!"
Deng Yi, who was originally impulsive and wanted to take action, froze in place after hearing Deng Youning's last words.
Deng Zheng and Gu also looked at Deng Youning with confusion.
"Don't you wish she was dead?"
"Why are you saying now that she is not dead?"
Deng Yi resisted the urge to hit Deng Youning and asked.
Deng Youning sighed helplessly.
Look, less than an hour after returning home, the reputation of being vicious and cold-blooded has been confirmed.
"Ning Ning, what do you mean by this?"
Han Qiongyue also came over with the help of Nanny Dou.
From the moment he heard that Deng Xuelian had hanged herself, Deng Youning behaved extremely calmly and collectedly.
Could it be that she already knew something?
But, how is that possible?
She has never been to the capital and doesn't know people like Deng Xuelian?
"Grandma, please look at her neck."
Deng Youning said this, pointing at Deng Xuelian's neck.
Smooth, white, and nothing else.
That's the problem.
"For those who have actually been hanged, there will be a heavy red mark where the chin and neck meet."
"Even if he didn't die, he would have left traces after being hung for a while, but they're lighter."
"But now there is nothing on Sister Lian'er's neck. Don't you find it strange?"
After hearing what Deng Youning said, Deng Zheng, who was not an idiot, glared at Yu Lian.
"Tell me, how did the young lady die?"
Yu Lian was so scared that she knelt down again.
She acted with the eldest lady, but she didn't expect to meet an expert!
"My Lord, she is just a maid, please don't make things difficult for her. You just said that you will bear all the blame."
Deng Youning repeated to him exactly what Deng Zheng had said to Han Qiongyue.
Deng Zheng: …
He finally realized his mistake and immediately knelt in front of Han Qiongyue, asking for forgiveness:
"Mother, just now my son was just too worried about my daughter's death. As a parent, you understand my son's pain, right?"
Deng Youning rolled her eyes at him.
Han Qiongyue: "After Lian'er's matter is dealt with, you can go and kneel in the ancestral hall by yourself."
Thinking of the way Deng Zheng blamed her just now, she just felt that she was a failure as a mother!
But after all, Zheng'er was not raised by her.
When he was a child, he and his father were away fighting in the battlefields, so they had to leave him to be raised by his grandmother who came from a brothel background. Unexpectedly, everything ended up being ruined!
