Chapter 043: Awakening
“Ahhhh!”
“Murder!”
"The young lady of the Ji family has killed someone!"
Screams rang out one after another.
In the huge Pepper Palace, many palace servants subconsciously retreated to the corner out of fear.
Chen was so frightened that she shrank behind Ji Zehai, her whole body shaking constantly.
When He Yunshu heard the scream, she immediately stopped and turned to look in confusion.
The next second, He Yunshu's pupils suddenly shrank.
From her perspective, Shen Ningyuan looked like the god of death from hell, standing behind Lin Shu with an expressionless face.
The silver hairpin in his hand had pierced Lin Shu's throat, and streams of blood kept oozing out of Lin Shu's mouth.
Lin Shu covered his pierced neck and looked at Shen Ningyuan in despair, "Why, why do you want to... kill me first?"
Chen Ningyuan's tone was cold, "Because the name 'Yuan' you just called made me sick."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan pulled out the silver hairpin and repaired it from the side.
“Hmm—”
Lin Shu's eyes widened, his neck tilted, and he was no longer breathing the next second.
Shen Ningyuan pulled out the bloody silver hairpin and threw it lightly to the ground, and Lin Shu's body fell directly to the ground.
The hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
But it was like a huge hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
Song Yan'er stared at Shen Ningyuan, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
This was the first time she saw Shen Ningyuan kill someone.
The moment when she raised the hairpin and stabbed the tree in the face has been lingering in her mind.
She had never thought that women in this world could be as clean and efficient as men.
Even He Yunshu, who was used to big scenes, slowly came back to her senses at this time.
Then, He Yunshu heard her own trembling voice, "Chen, Chen Ningyuan, how dare you kill someone in the Pepper Room of this palace!"
Shen Ningyuan turned around, and the hand that had just killed someone was still dripping with blood.
She looked up at He Yunshu and said, "Didn't Her Majesty the Queen just say that I can deal with these two servants who betrayed and slandered me?"
"I did tell you to deal with it, but I didn't ask you to kill anyone in the Pepper Palace!" He Yunshu was so anxious that she almost vomited blood.
She felt that Shen Ningyuan did it on purpose, but she had no evidence.
"But the Queen didn't say that we can't kill people here." Shen Ningyuan said respectfully.
"You——" He Yunshu was extremely angry, but couldn't say anything to refute.
Now that the emperor is still wary of the Shen family, she can't do anything about Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, He Yunshu took a deep breath and ordered the palace servants in a cold voice, "You guys, drag the body away. I will not live in this Pepper Palace anymore!"
After saying that, He Yunshu glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely, then turned around and left angrily.
She never dreamed that she would be scolded and cried by Cui Jin ten years ago.
Ten years later, he was forced to move out of the Pepper Palace by Cui Jin's daughter!
Did she owe them and their daughter a lot of money in her previous life?
I will chase her and collect the debt for the rest of my life!
After He Yunshu left, the Pepper Room was quiet for a moment.
Then, two palace servants came over and carefully dragged the body away.
Nanny Ming knelt on the ground, looking sideways at Lin Shu's body as it was dragged past her.
Some inexplicable thoughts flashed through his cloudy eyes.
At this moment, a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes suddenly stopped in front of her.
When Nanny Ming raised her head, she saw the expressionless Shen Ningyuan, looking down at her condescendingly.
This scene is so similar to the previous one.
But at this moment, Nanny Ming's back was obviously not as straight as before.
The whole person was hunched over, as if all the energy had been drained away in an instant.
"Young Madam."
After a while, Nanny Ming finally found her voice.
Shen Ningyuan squatted down.
She tilted her head, with a hint of confusion on her face, and looked at Nanny Ming quietly.
"Mammy." Shen Ningyuan called softly.
Hearing this name, Nanny Ming's eyes instantly turned red.
Finally, he dared to look up and look directly into Shen Ningyuan's eyes.
But after meeting her eyes, he quickly lowered his head.
"Mammy, I can't figure it out." Shen Ningyuan murmured in a low voice.
"We were fine a few days ago, and you made a lot of shrimp dumplings for me and Little Bean to eat."
When saying this, Shen Ningyuan's face was still cold and her tone was calm.
It seemed like he was just complaining about an insignificant matter.
Listening to Shen Ningyuan's accusations, Aunt Ming couldn't control her tears from flowing down.
She shook her head and sobbed, "Young Madam, please stop talking. It is I who have let you down."
Chen Ningyuan didn't stop and continued: "Mammy knows that I like to drink before going to bed, so every year when the peach blossoms bloom, you will carry a bamboo basket to the mountain to pick peach blossoms, brew a few jars of pear blossom white for me, and bury them under the albizzia tree in the yard."
Nanny Ming was choking with sobs and speaking incoherently. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Ningyuan repeatedly, "Young Madam, please stop talking. It is this old servant who is sorry for you... Please, stop talking."
"Mammy, I can't understand. You've been so good to me, why would you...betray me?"
When asking this question, Shen Ningyuan's face remained calm.
Then he stopped talking and just looked at Nanny Ming quietly, waiting for her answer.
Nanny Ming continued to kowtow, her voice choking with sobs, "Young Madam, I am sorry for you, and I am forced to do this. If I don't do this, my daughter will--"
"Mrs. Ming!"
Before Nanny Ming could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen's sudden shout.
Shen Ningyuan turned around and saw Chen glaring at Nanny Ming viciously, with a look of intimidation in her eyes.
She understood everything in an instant.
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and turned to look at Nanny Ming with a gloomy expression.
If Nanny Ming was really threatened by Chen.
She couldn't even hate the old man who had taken care of her wholeheartedly for a year.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan stretched out her hand, wanting to help Nanny Ming up first and ask about the matter clearly.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she touched Nanny Ming's hand, the latter suddenly pushed her away with force.
Shen Ningyuan was not careful and was pushed back, staggering and almost falling to the ground.
"Yuan'er!"
Song Yaner was startled, and hurried over to support Shen Ningyuan.
Turning around, he rebuked Nanny Ming, "You old slave—no, what are you going to do?"
Song Yaner stopped talking halfway and asked in astonishment.
After Nanny Ming pushed Shen Ningyuan away, she rushed over to pick up the silver hairpin on the ground, and stabbed it hard into the carotid artery in her neck!
The silver hairpin stabbed down and blood spurted out.
Aunt Ming shed turbid tears, looked at Chen Ningyuan, and apologized desperately, "Young Madam, I know I have let you down, and I have no face to face you! But the little girl knows nothing, she only asks the young madam to save her, and I am here... to die to apologize!"
After saying this, Nanny Ming pulled out the hairpin and stabbed her own neck several times.
He was determined to die.
The spurting blood splashed on Shen Ningyuan's face.
"Young Madam, please save, save...save the little one, old slave, please..."
After uttering these words with difficulty, Nanny Ming knelt on the ground with her head drooping heavily.
Looking at Nanny Ming who was no longer breathing in front of him.
Shen Ningyuan was stunned for a moment.
"Mrs. Ming!"
Finally a roar broke out.
Shen Ningyuan rushed to Nanny Ming, trying to stop the bleeding wound.
But no matter how hard she tried to block it, blood would flow out from between her fingers.
"No!"
Shen Ningyuan's eyes were empty, and she continued to cover Nanny Ming's wound with her hands.
But the constant flow of blood made her mind flash back to her past life, when the entire Shen family was turned into human pigs by Ji Yunchuan.
Every scene was like a needle piercing her body.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Ningyuan slowly stopped.
After realizing that Nanny Ming was really dead, she calmed down instead.
Shen Ningyuan stood up and walked towards Chen and Ji Zehai, who had stiff faces.
Looking at Shen Ningyuan who was gradually approaching, the two of them trembled involuntarily, stepped back step by step, and asked in a trembling voice: "Shen, Shen Ningyuan, what are you going to do?"
