Chapter 002: Waking up in the coffin
The moment the chastity arch collapsed, a fierce white light flashed between heaven and earth, so bright that Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but close her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw darkness in front of her and a pungent smell of decay filled her face.
Without caring about panicking, Shen Ningyuan immediately raised his hand to feel around, but what he touched were four rough and hard wooden boards.
She instantly realized that she was lying in a coffin!
What's going on?
Wasn't she trapped in the chastity arch, watching her father, mother, and brother being turned into human pigs for Ji Yunchuan's entertainment?
How come he was lying in a coffin?
As he was surprised, a familiar cry suddenly came from above the coffin:
"Wuwuwuwu Ning Yuan, my good daughter-in-law, why are you so depressed? I know you love Yunchuan deeply, but you can't die for him!"
It was the cry of mother-in-law Chen!
Shen Ningyuan's pupils shrank, and hatred grew in her heart.
She will never forget Chen, the one who cried heartbrokenly.
After she was poisoned to death and buried, he ordered his servants to dig her out of the coffin.
Throw her body into a mass grave, and release wild dogs that had been hungry for three days and three nights to eat her body clean!
"Mom, my sister-in-law is dead. Please think positively and don't hurt yourself by crying."
Another familiar voice came.
It’s Ji Yunhuan!
Her sister-in-law!
Shen Ningyuan hated it even more.
She remembered clearly the funeral of Ji Yunchuan's fake death.
The cup of poisoned wine containing Crimson Flame was handed to her by Ji Yunhuan himself!
Wait, a funeral?
Realizing something, Shen Ningyuan slowly calmed down.
Could it be that...
Time went back and she returned to the time when she was poisoned by the Ji family and her body was put into the coffin?
She is reborn!
Shen Ningyuan was excited and was about to lift the board.
But at this time, under the cover of Ji Yunhuan's crying, Chen's sinister voice came: "Huan'er, are you sure that bitch Shen Ningyuan is really dead?"
Ji Yunhuan hummed, and said in a very proud tone, "Crane's Head Red, a poison that penetrates the intestines. I saw her drink it with my own eyes."
"Great! We finally killed this bitch! Let's all say she died for your brother. At this point, the Shen family can't blame us. The Shen family can't take away the priceless dowry!"
"Mom, please keep your voice down, there are so many people here..."
Listening to the two people's conspiracy, Shen Ningyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred, retracted his hands and clenched them into fists.
In her previous life, after she was poisoned to death, the Ji family announced to the public: She was deeply in love with Ji Yunchuan and died to follow him to show her loyalty.
With the Ji family's deliberate publicity, she became a chaste and heroic woman praised by everyone.
The emperor appreciated her "loyalty" and personally awarded her a chastity arch.
In this way, the Ji family became famous.
Step on her corpse, take her dowry, and harm her parents' family.
Relying on this chastity arch, she made a living by feeding on the blood of others and gradually joined the upper-class family!
The more Shen Ningyuan thought about it, the more she hated him.
With both hands exerting force, he pushed the coffin open and climbed up.
Suddenly, a sigh came from afar: "Alas! Shen Ningyuan married into a good in-law family. Both the mother-in-law and the sister-in-law cried so sadly for her death!"
Stopping what he was doing, Shen Ningyuan pricked up his ears to listen.
I heard other guests talking about:
"Yes, although the Ji family has declined, it still has a solid foundation. They treat their daughters-in-law like their own sons and respect their sisters-in-law like their mothers. Not bad!"
"Especially Miss Ji, she is a girl of noble character... As soon as the mourning period of the Ji family is over, I will come and propose marriage to my son!"
Hearing these words, Shen Ningyuan's blood surged instantly.
Sure enough, once she died, the Ji family’s plan succeeded!
At this time, a guest mentioned Shen Ningyuan.
"But then again, Chen Ningyuan is really something. Her body and hair are given by her parents, so why is she so depressed?"
"That's right. The Ji family treated her so well. How could she be so selfish and cruel to abandon the whole Ji family and seek liberation alone?"
"Alas, the dead are the greatest... No matter what, she was a chaste and heroic woman, so let's not blame her anymore."
"yes……"
Hearing these words, Chen couldn't hide her ecstasy and asked in a low voice: "Huan'er, did you hear that? No one suspected us at all. They all believed that Chen Ningyuan died for love!"
"Mom, I heard it. The dowry that Chen Ningyuan brought is all ours!" Ji Yunhuan's voice trembled with excitement.
"That's right! They're all ours!"
Feeling the pride and joy in their voices, Shen Ningyuan in the coffin hated them so much.
His hands were clenched tightly, his nails digging into the flesh, leaving several bloody marks.
In this life, do you still want to rely on her and the Shen family's corpses to gain power?
dream!
In order to hide her ecstatic look, Chen pretended to be heartbroken.
She threw herself on the coffin, crying breathlessly: "Ning Yuan, my good daughter-in-law, you have been married to the Ji family for only one year, but I have always treated you as my own daughter. Now you leave without saying anything. How can I live without you?"
"Wuwuwu sister-in-law, after you left, there will be no one to teach Huaner poetry, calligraphy and painting!"
Perhaps thinking about how they would be able to squander Chen Ningyuan's dowry in the future, the two could not hide their pride, and even a few inaudible laughs were mixed in with their crying.
In order to cover up the uncontrollable excitement in their hearts, the crying of mother and daughter changed from soft sobs to loud crying.
Chen leaned on a cane, beating her chest and crying bitterly: "Ahhh Ning Yuan, you are too young to die! I am old, if anyone has to die, it should be me... As long as you can survive, I am willing to die immediately, and use my old life in exchange for yours!"
Ji Yunhuan also burst into tears: "Sister-in-law, Huan'er can't bear to leave you, please come back to life soon, as long as you are alive and well, Huan'er is willing to go to the temple to become a monk and pray for sister-in-law!"
"As long as I survive, Mom is really willing to die, and Huan'er is willing to become a nun?"
Amid the two people's crying, a cold voice suddenly interrupted.
The mother and daughter were so engrossed in their acting that they didn't even bother to figure out who the voice belonged to, and they just blurted out the words without thinking.
"Of course mother is willing. It would be better if I didn't have these old bones!" Chen said firmly.
"Why wouldn't I want to? My sister-in-law is so good to me. Shouldn't I become a monk and pray for her?"
Ji Yunhuan's eyes were burning, and he wished he could shave his head right then and there.
But as soon as they finished speaking, the mother and daughter froze in place, their faces turning pale instantly.
With a loud "bang", the coffin lid behind him was instantly overturned to the ground!
