Chapter 434 Tang Ning witnessed the death of Mrs. Rong
Tang Ning raised his eyes and looked at the three people from the Song family.
Madam Song was filled with fear and confusion, while Madam Song and Song Hong were panic-stricken, especially Madam Song. Her face was pale with fear, and she subconsciously stepped back when she met Tang Ning's gaze.
"No, I didn't. He was already dead when they sent him back. She is lying!" Old Lady Song was horrified.
Song Hong also said anxiously: "Tang Ning, don't listen to her nonsense."
"When my second brother and his family were sent back to the capital, they were already dead, their bodies bloody and mangled. It was Empress Lu who killed your mother and her family and wanted to put the blame on the Song family. She wanted to sow discord between us."
"We don't know her at all, how could we possibly help her harm your mother? Don't believe her..."
Tang Ning looked at him quietly: "You two are not familiar with each other, but before my grandfather passed away, you and Prince Cheng drugged my aunt, forged my grandfather's suicide note, and helped Queen Lu to promise me a marriage with the Lu family?"
"You don't know her well, yet you bring her here to dig up my parents' graves and disturb their peace in the afterlife just because she ordered you to do so?"
She raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Song, whose face was pale.
"I'm curious. When the Queen's men opened the tomb and the coffin to look for something, they left immediately. Song Hong didn't stay for long, but you stayed here."
"Not only did you cast spells on your own son and daughter-in-law, sealing their coffins, you also used blood curses, wishing to bind their souls to the River of Oblivion, forever preventing them from reincarnation."
"Madam Song, what are you afraid of?"
Madam Song's lips trembled: "I, I don't know what you are talking about, I, I didn't do anything, what about casting a talisman, I didn't..."
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the grave over there, as if something had hit a coffin.
Old Madam Song suddenly widened her eyes and screamed, then fell to the ground trembling all over.
"W-what's that sound..."
"It's in the grave, it's in the grave."
Madam Song screamed: "There's a ghost!!"
Tang Ning said quietly, "Old Madam is so kind, maybe it's my mother and the others who want to talk to you..."
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The banging sounds became more and more frequent, as if something was trying to crawl out of the coffin, accompanied by a long crow's cry.
Not to mention that Old Madam Song was so scared that her face turned pale, even Song Hong stumbled and fell to the ground, his face pale and moving backwards.
Mrs. Song fainted as soon as she shouted that there was a ghost.
Song Hong shrank back: "It's not me, it's not me who hurt you, sister-in-law, it's not me..."
"Bang!!"
"Bang!!!"
The banging sound became louder and louder, as if it was going to blow the coffin open.
The crows overhead were cawing, and the moonlight that was originally scattered through the woods was blocked by dark clouds. The gloomy forest was pitch black, and the sound of the collision seemed even more empty and shocking.
Old Madam Song could no longer hold on. She huddled in front of the grave, tears and snot streaming down her face, and her voice was shaking like a sieve.
"Don't, don't look for me... I didn't mean it..."
"Second brother's wife, I didn't mean to force you to death. I just wanted you to take a step back. It's you who refused to speak..."
"It's clear that you can get the Queen by just mentioning the Song family, but you're single-mindedly leaning towards the Rong family, and you're also having an unclear relationship with the Crown Prince. His Majesty will definitely not forgive the Song family if he knows. It's because you spoke ill of me and insulted me that I, I sealed the coffin..."
"I just want to leave you alone, I don't want you to die..."
The bloody appearance of her second daughter-in-law appeared before her eyes. The sound of the coffin hitting her body terrified her. Old Lady Song pointed at Queen Lu and cried and cursed.
"It was the Queen, it was the Queen who killed you, go find her, go find her!!"
Queen Lu was also shocked by this scene. She was not afraid of ghosts and gods before because she had the Lu family and the position of Empress. She was the most noble woman in the world at that time, and ghosts and gods avoided her.
But now she looked so brave that she had lost all her courage. The rumbling sound of the tomb made her feel as if she saw an evil ghost crawling up.
Empress Lu grabbed Madam Song and angrily scolded her, "You actually wronged me. You wanted to please me, so you forced Rong Zhen to death, and you even wanted to frame me..."
"It was obviously you. You killed my son and angered Master Rong to death."
"Are you okay now? If you weren't greedy for wealth, why would you sell your son and daughter-in-law, and then sell Song Tangning?!"
“Shut up!!”
"Why, you don't dare let me tell you? Song Tangning witnessed Rong Zhen's death, but you, an old hag, locked her up like a dog, almost turning her into a fool. If it weren't for you, how could she have relied on Lu Zhinian, and how could I have facilitated this marriage?"
"How can you be any better? You had an affair with Prince Cheng and gave birth to an illegitimate child. You are so fickle..."
The two men started to quarrel, cursing at each other and blaming each other.
Song Jinxiu in the coffin opened his eyes wide and stopped struggling. His bound body kept shaking, and the blood on his head was chilling. Song Tangning, who was standing in the woods, felt their words booming in his ears like thunder.
…
[Mother, mother, wake up, mother, I will take you out...]
[Tang Ning, Mother can't leave... You, you must leave the Song family and go find your grandfather... Go, tell her that it was Empress Lu who killed Mother and Father...]
The woman's body was covered in festering wounds and her face was covered in blood.
She raised her head as high as she could, looked at the little girl in front of the coffin, and reached out to touch her face.
【Little Begonia is not afraid...】
Rongzhen spoke intermittently, and the hand that fell on the little girl's face slid down to her chest little by little.
[Remember what my mother told you? The thing Aunt Xue gave you... you can't tell anyone, not even Grandfather...]
Little Tang Ning cried tearsily: [Remember, Mother said that this can only be given to little brother... Tang Ning will not tell anyone else...]
【good……】
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside, which made the woman in the coffin change her expression drastically. Rong Zhen hurriedly urged the little girl to hide under the table in front of the ancestral hall.
[Don't make any noise, don't let anyone find out.]
Little Tang Ning shrank herself and covered her mouth as she saw Old Madam Song, wearing a navy blue coat, striding in.
She shouted at the woman in the coffin where her belongings were, scolded and accused her of colluding with the Crown Prince, and also tried to persuade her with kind words about the benefits of joining the Queen.
Seeing that the person in the coffin refused to listen and even accused her of aiding and abetting evil, Old Lady Song became angry and had the coffin covered.
[You ungrateful thing, think carefully before you come out! ]
Old Madam Song left with her people in a triumphant manner.
The coffin of the eldest daughter of the Rong family was made of the finest golden nanmu wood. To prevent the bones from being corroded by insects and ants, the wood of the coffin was coated with beeswax and dipped in gold paper to seal all the gaps.
Once the top layer of the coffin is covered, it becomes an enclosed space and no air can get in.
Gradually, scratching sounds began to appear in the coffin, accompanied by cries of suffocation and pain.
Young Tang Ning crawled out from under the table in the ancestral hall, crying and trying to push the coffin open, but the coffin was too heavy. After it fell and locked, her hands were bleeding but she couldn't move it at all.
"Mother..."
"Mother!"
The little girl cried desperately, but she could still hear the scratching sounds gradually fading away. She rushed out to find someone to save her mother, but there was a "living dead" lying in the ancestral hall, and Old Lady Song had already evacuated all the people here.
When the people outside heard the noise, Madam Song and Song Hong rushed over with their men and hurriedly opened the coffin. They found that the lid was covered with bloody scratches.
Rong Zhen's face was pale, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were bulging, and his fingers were already bloody...
…
"Mother!"
Tang Ning had a splitting headache and held his head tightly.
Xiao Yan quickly reached out to help her, but before he could get close, she closed her eyes and fell down.
"Tang Ning!"
She pulled the person back into her arms, her face pale.
Xiao Yan held the man horizontally and said to Cang Lang, "No matter what means are used, I will pry open their mouths and know everything that happened back then."
