Shangguan Wanning was forced to wear her wedding dress, with her hands tied, and was dragged to the hall by the nanny.
Also forced to move in was Lu Tong.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Lu Tong became more and more panicked. She wanted to protect Shangguan Wanning, but she was powerless.
"My eldest daughter is the daughter of the Prime Minister, and she was also the Princess An Ning appointed by the late Emperor. She is a royal concubine, and if anything happens to her, you are capable of taking responsibility...ah!"
Lu Tong was slapped hard by the nanny beside her.
Shangguan Wanning saw blood oozing from the corners of Lutong's mouth and became furious. She struggled to break free from the grip.
"You old pig-dog, if you dare to touch Lu Tong again, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost."
Old Madam Xiao didn't want to get entangled in these trivial matters and glared at the old nanny fiercely.
The old lady was a little frightened and quietly stepped aside.
"Carry Master Sun up."
As soon as Old Lady Xiao finished speaking, eight servants slowly walked in carrying a coffin.
In the coffin, Xiao Yikai's eyes were closed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if with a strange smile.
Old Madam Xiao's fingers lightly brushed the edge, and tears streamed down her face in an instant.
"Kai'er... my grandson..." Old Lady Xiao was heartbroken. "Your father is already this old. You are the only descendant of the Xiao family. How could you die before me? How can I face the ancestors of the Xiao family when I die in the underworld?"
Old Lady Xiao cried for a long time, and everyone present was afraid to breathe.
"Kai'er, grandma knows that you like Shangguan Wanning. Grandma will make the decision for you and let her go with you. Your soul in heaven should rest in peace."
"snort."
Shangguan Wanning snorted coldly.
This cold snort angered Xiao Wenyuan, who was standing aside and crying silently.
He rushed forward and kicked Shangguan Wanning in the lower abdomen.
Shangguan Wanning fell to the ground, and her red veil fell off.
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Wenyuan, her eyes stubborn and fierce.
"You murderer. You killed my son..."
Shangguan Wanning tried several times but failed to get up, so she had to give up.
She met Xiao Wenyuan's gaze fearlessly, with a scornful smile on her lips.
"What do you mean you are ashamed to face the ancestors of the Xiao family? Your ancestors were not named Xiao at all. Old woman, you relied on the fact that you were the wet nurse of the previous emperor and the great military exploits of your man and sons to oppress the good people. You are hypocritical and you deserve that you will not have any younger generations to see you off to the end of your life."
Shangguan Wanning's words completely angered Old Lady Xiao.
Old Lady Xiao walked forward, picked up the dragon-headed cane and hit Shangguan Wanning hard on the body.
"Miss...Miss..." Lu Tong burst into tears out of heartache.
From childhood to adulthood, when had Shangguan Wanning ever suffered such humiliation and endured such hardship?
"Shangguan Wanning, you and Kai'er are married today, and you will be his wife. In the afterlife, you will have to obey him. I'm teaching you a lesson in advance so you know who is the head of the family."
After saying that, he raised the dragon-headed cane and hit Shangguan Wanning hard on the head.
Shangguan Wanning only felt a sharp pain, and warm liquid slowly flowed down her forehead.
Her vision gradually blurred.
"Miss...Miss..." Lu Tong struggled desperately, finally broke free from the old nanny's grip and rushed towards Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning was completely out of strength.
She watched Lu Tong getting closer and closer to her, yet also seemed to be getting farther and farther away.
She murmured to herself: "Let Lu Tong go... Jing Rui, you have to avenge me..."
"Miss..."
Shangguan Wanning was knocked unconscious. Lutong crawled to her side, picked her up, and pressed her wound with his hands.
"Miss, please wake up... Don't scare me."
"Put it in." After Old Madam Xiao gave an order, four or five maids came up.
They pushed Lu Tong away and carried Shangguan Wan Ning to put her into the coffin.
"No, please..." Lu Tong was alone and weak, unable to force Shangguan Wan Ning back, and in despair and grief, she could only beg Old Lady Xiao. "Old Lady, my daughter is still young, please let her go, I will repay you by working like a cow and a horse..."
Old Madam Xiao became a little impatient and kicked Lu Tong away.
"Old Madam, please have mercy and let my young lady go... My master and mistress are waiting for her to come back... Old Madam..."
Lu Tong got up and knelt down in front of Old Lady Xiao, begging desperately.
Old Madam Xiao had a blank expression on her face and remained indifferent.
Lu Tong watched Shangguan Wan Ning being put into the coffin as the servant prepared to close the lid of the coffin.
She was completely panicked.
Seeing that the servants had already started hammering the nails, she became even more confused.
She knew that it was useless to ask Old Lady Xiao for help, so she rushed outside the hall and begged for help from the guests: "Please be kind and save my eldest daughter... As long as my eldest daughter can survive, my master will reward her handsomely. My master is the Prime Minister Shangguan..."
"Believe me, I'm not lying..." Lu Tong said it several times, and everyone present just stood there.
It’s not that they don’t want to save them, it’s that they are powerless and cannot save them at all.
Their every move is under the surveillance of the soldiers and guards of the Zhonglie Marquis' Mansion. Now that they can hardly protect themselves, who can save Shangguan Wanning?
When Lu Tong looked back and saw that the last nail had been driven in, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
She was completely desperate.
"The auspicious time is coming soon. Carry them out and bury them in peace."
"No!" Lu Tong cried heartbreakingly, opening her arms to block the entrance to the hall, "I won't let you out... Let my eldest daughter out..."
Old Madam Xiao narrowed her eyes, already filled with murderous intent.
The butler stepped forward quickly, picked up Lu Tong and threw him out.
The severe pain made Lu Tong's mind clearer.
She watched the coffin pass by her and tears flowed down her face.
"My lady, I know you are afraid of the dark... I am here to accompany you..."
Lu Tong stood up, concentrated all his strength and rushed towards the coffin, bumping into it headfirst.
Everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
Lu Tong fell to the ground, his face covered in blood.
She cast an angry gaze towards Old Lady Xiao, and with her last bit of strength, she cursed viciously, "Old woman... I curse you... I curse you to have a bad death, and I curse your son to have a bad end... May your Xiao family have no descendants."
A chill ran down Old Lady Xiao's back.
She watched as Midoriya stretched out her hands as hard as she could, trying to grab the coffin.
Suddenly, a fierce and powerful palm wind came and blew away several servants who were carrying the coffin.
Twenty or so men in black jumped down from the roof.
"Brother Huo..." There was light in Lu Tong's eyes again.
Huo Gang squatted down and looked at the dying Lu Tong in horror.
