Chapter 261 Ning County Ancestral Hall
After midnight, the huge Ning County was still very quiet, but there were people on the road after all. It was just that they were all wrapped in black cloth, covering their faces and exposed skin tightly, and only a pair of eyes could be seen on their bodies.
They were walking hurriedly, holding a not-very-bright lantern in their hands.
Su Chenyu and Bai Yanqing stood on the eaves, observing where the people were going. In the night, the dim lights all gathered in one direction.
During the day, the carriage almost circled Ning County. Su Chenyu remembered that it seemed to be the location of the Ning County Ancestral Hall. Why did so many people go to the Ancestral Hall at night?
"Let's go and take a look."
Two light figures passed by on the eaves, and they stepped directly on the connected eaves and jumped directly onto the roof of the ancestral hall. There were already quite a few people standing on the open space in front of the ancestral hall. Dozens of dim lanterns gathered together, completely illuminating the ancestral hall.
Su Chenyu lifted the tiles on the roof and looked down, and found a beautiful woman standing in the ancestral hall. At a glance, Su Chenyu recognized her, the old woman who treated her the day before.
Her disguise can only change her appearance, not her body shape.
Madam Mei stood in the ancestral hall with her back to the gate, looking at the tablets placed there. Those who could place tablets here were all people of noble status in Ning County.
Someone knocked on the door, and the big man guarding the door opened it. An old man in black cloth walked in. He walked timidly behind Madam Mei, not even daring to look up at her, and lowered his posture very low: "Madam, when can we get that thing? We are almost exhausted."
Madam Mei still had her back to the old man: "You should know how many people are left in Ning County, but there are only a few of those things left. Do you think that with so many people outside, is that enough?"
The old man remained silent, and Madam Mei continued, "Ning County has always been headed by the Ning family. As the patriarch of the Ning family, you can be said to be in charge of the lives of so many people in Ning County. It's time for you to make decisions for them."
The old patriarch understood what Madam Mei meant, but he was unwilling to give up a chance so easily: "Madam, Ning County has become like this now. There are not many living people left. Do you really want to see a dead city?"
"What's the difference between Ning County now and a dead city?" Madam Mei suddenly turned around and said, "Didn't you cut off the machine yourself?"
The old patriarch wanted to refute something, but when he raised his head, he saw Madam Mei's face and was shocked. The originally blurry picture suddenly became clear.
"It seems that you still remember this face."
"Who are you?" It was the first time for the old patriarch to see Madam Mei's face. However, the moment he saw this face, he knew that it was definitely her who had contributed to Ning County's development to this point.
"I am Yan Niang's daughter." Madam Mei glanced at the old patriarch, who suddenly felt a chill in his bones.
Yan Niang, thirty years ago, was the most famous dancer in Ning County. Countless people spent huge sums of money on her just to watch her dance.
At that time, the old patriarch was still young and was the most promising heir of the Ning family. He loved Yan Niang, but unfortunately Yan Niang fell in love with a traveling businessman and insisted on marrying him.
Not long after they got married, Yan Niang became pregnant. In order to make a living, she had to go out to do business and was often not at home.
Not long after Yanniang gave birth to the child, a merchant got the news and was about to come to see their daughter, but unexpectedly her daughter died on the way.
