Chapter 063: The previous life's guardian was cooked
Sitting in the carriage heading to the suburbs, Shen Ningyuan kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
Luying sat beside her, glancing at Shen Ningyuan from time to time, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that she was normal.
After a while, he continued to look at Shen Ningyuan, then retracted his gaze.
After a while, take another look.
Anyway, along the way, Lu Ying looked at Chen Ningyuan several times.
Finally, when Lu Ying looked at Shen Ningyuan for the last time, the latter finally looked at her.
"Why are you staring at me?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly.
"Miss, why do I feel that your going out this time is a little strange."
"Why is it strange?"
Lu Ying thought for a moment before explaining, "I don't know how to put it, but I always feel that there is a strange sense of guilt in the young lady's eyes."
Shen Ningyuan fell silent all of a sudden.
Obviously, Green Warbler guessed it right.
Green Oriole asked again: "Miss, are you going to meet someone?"
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and raised her eyes slightly, "Go meet someone who will never betray me."
Hearing this, Luying's eyes were shocked and she wanted to ask something else.
Just at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Outside the carriage, the driver whispered, "Madam, we have arrived at Orchid Village."
Lu Ying jumped off the carriage first, and then helped Shen Ningyuan get off the carriage.
What came into view was a green field. Occasionally one or two people passed by, and they all looked at Shen Ningyuan with inquiring eyes.
They seemed curious as to how girls like them could appear here.
Shen Ningyuan ignored these gazes and walked straight in one direction.
"Miss, who exactly do you want to see?"
Luying followed behind Shen Ningyuan and asked in confusion.
Shen Ningyuan did not answer and turned down a small path.
"Miss?"
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came from not far behind.
Hearing this voice, Shen Ningyuan's body shook.
After a brief pause, Shen Ningyuan turned around.
Not far away, Lan Yin, who was wearing coarse linen clothes, was also staring at Chen Ningyuan in a daze.
"Miss, is it really you?"
Lan Yin screamed, and the basket on her arm fell to the ground.
Lan Yin ran towards Shen Ningyuan, held her shoulders, and asked in disbelief: "Miss, is it really you? Are you here to see me?"
Before Shen Ningyuan could answer, Lan Yin wiped away her tears and said, "My poor lady, now that your uncle is dead, how are you going to live in the future?"
His words were full of heartache for Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath, wiped Lan Yin's tears personally, and asked with concern: "How have you been this year?"
Lan Yin sniffed and said, "Miss, I am doing well. You don't have to worry about me. The most important thing now is what should I do in the future?"
"My uncle was fine, why did he leave just like that?"
As she spoke, Lan Yin began to wipe her tears again.
"Okay, stop crying."
Shen Ningyuan glanced at Luying, leaned close to Lanyin's ear and whispered, "The son-in-law you mentioned is not dead."
It’s not that she didn’t trust Luying, but this girl was simple-minded and she was afraid that she would accidentally let something slip.
"What?" Lan Yin exclaimed, "My uncle didn't—"
Before he could finish his words, Shen Ningyuan covered his mouth.
Lan Yin widened her eyes and looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief.
Seeing the latter nodded, he also made a gesture to keep quiet.
Lan Yin was sure that what Shen Ningyuan had just said was not a joke to her.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Lan Yin immediately took Shen Ningyuan's hand and said, "Miss, please follow me."
Having said that, Lan Yin walked towards her home.
When passing by Luying, Lan Yin looked at her with a puzzled look in her eyes and asked, "Miss, this is..."
Shen Ningyuan said calmly: "She is the maid I brought back after returning to the Shen family."
Hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Lan Yin's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by relief.
"Miss, you really need some trustworthy maids to serve you." Lan Yin stared at Lu Ying for a moment, then immediately looked away.
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan shook Lan Yin's hand and said, "No, I'm here to see you."
Lan Yin was shocked again.
Shen Ningyuan asked: "Lan Yin, are you blaming me for what happened a year ago?"
Hearing this, Lan Yin shook her head and replied seriously: "How could I blame the young lady? What happened a year ago was not the young lady's fault. It was the Ji family who couldn't tolerate the young lady having anyone they could trust around them, so they deliberately framed me for stealing and kicked me out."
"If it weren't for the young lady pleading for me and kneeling in front of the ancestral hall for a whole night holding the Ji family's bamboo stick, the Ji family would have sent me to the government long ago. How could I still be alive today? Not to mention having the chance to meet the young lady."
Listening to Lan Yin's casual words, Shen Ningyuan felt mixed emotions.
A year ago, Chen deliberately framed Lan Yin for stealing and insisted on sending Lan Yin to the government.
At that time, she had just married into the Ji family and had no foundation at all.
She could only beg Chen to spare Lan Ying's life, and the price she paid was that Lan Yin was beaten with ten sticks and expelled from the Ji family.
She knelt in front of the ancestral hall for a whole night with the Ji family's bamboo stick on her head, and also sent a lot of treasures to the Ji family's storehouse. Only then was the matter over.
But it was not until she was poisoned to death that Shen Ningyuan came to her senses.
It turned out that the Ji family had been planning all of this since she married into the family.
First, all the people she could trust were driven away, and then she was subjected to a series of obedience tests.
Once he was sure that she was easy to control, he would start to exploit and waste her.
After sending Lan Yin away, Shen Ningyuan always thought that she and Lan Yin would never see each other again.
But after her death, her soul was bound in the chastity arch.
Every once in a while, Lan Yin would sneak in under the cover of night, put the incense and candles she had saved to buy under her chastity arch, and whisper to Shen Ningyuan about the gossip and interesting things that happened in the capital at that time.
Until one day in the third year, Lan Yin sneaked in again under the cover of night.
As luck would have it, she ran into Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu doing something dirty under the chastity arch.
Lan Yin was extremely angry and pointed at the two of them and scolded them on the spot.
Finally, Ji Yunchuan became angry and sent someone to kill Lan Yin.
In order to vent his anger, Ji Yunchuan chopped Lan Yin's body into pieces under the chastity arch.
Finally, throw it into a pot of boiling water, blanch it and feed it to the dog.
She still remembers that scene vividly.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan held Lan Yin's hand, looked into her eyes, and asked seriously: "If I let you go back to the Ji family with me again, would you be willing?"
Lan Yin was startled, "But Miss, will the Ji family agree?"
Shen Ningyuan smiled contemptuously and said, "Whether they agree or not is not important at all. It only depends on whether you are still willing to follow me."
After hearing this, Lan Yin immediately burst into tears.
"Miss, I am willing. Of course I am willing!" Lan Yin sniffed fiercely. "For the past year, I have dreamed of returning to serve you!"
As she spoke, Lan Yin cried even louder, "This servant, this servant finally has a chance to repay the young lady!"
"If it weren't for the young lady's constant support, my whole family would have gone to hell..."
