Chapter 268 "Madam! The Master...is dead!"
When they separated, her chin was suddenly pinched by him, and with some force, his lips and tongue went straight in, instantly robbing her of her breath.
He devoured her for a long time before reluctantly letting her go.
An indescribable emotion surged in Xie Huaian's dark eyes, and his words with a slight whisper fell into her ears.
"wait for me."
…
After leaving, she just waited for news to come and handle his "afterlife" for him.
As planned, on the second day after she returned to the house, Minister Dong came to the house at full speed with two servants to report the news.
At this time, Ruan Mian happened to be working with Zhang and others on the goods for the Guixiufang, and Minister Dong spoke in great sorrow.
"Madam! The master...is dead!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang, Ruan Qing and the others were stunned and looked over in disbelief.
"How...how could this be?! My Lord Minister, you are not joking with us, are you?"
"Yes! The master is fine. Didn't my sister go to see him two days ago and said that the poison in his body is gone?"
"Minister Dong, I can't say this casually, but is it true?"
Without exception, no one present was willing to believe this.
Ruan Mian stood there in a daze. He knew clearly that it was a fake death, but when he thought about entering the tiger's bloodland alone and that he had no control over the future plot, the tears accumulated in his eyes suddenly burst out. His legs went limp and he could not even stand.
“Sister!!”
Ruan Qing was so frightened that she quickly supported her. Zhang's eyes were red as well. She forced herself to comfort her daughter: "Mianmian, don't panic. Let's go to the post station with you to see Ah Huai."
"Hurry, Zhu'er, go and prepare the horse!" The place was in chaos at the moment. Even Cuizhu couldn't tell the directions. With her blurred vision, she even walked into the wrong door.
It was Meixi who remained calm at the critical moment and took Cuizhu to prepare the carriage and horses.
The family went to the slope behind the post station in a mighty procession.
When they arrived there, the slope was already covered with white banners. Xie Huaian lay pale in the coffin, and two doctors carrying medicine boxes looked sad.
Seeing Ruan Mian and the others coming over, he stepped forward to comfort them: "Madam, Old Madam, Master Ruan, you... accept my condolences."
Mr. Ruan's face suddenly changed. He immediately walked to the coffin and took his pulse personally.
However, after feeling the dead pulse, his body froze in place.
Zhang could no longer hold back her emotions and began to sob softly.
Ruan Mian collapsed to the ground, wiped away her tears, and forced herself to stand up.
Mr. Ruan quickly called for Zhang, and the old couple supported Ruan Mian and walked to Xie Huaian to see him off.
Zhang didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that her daughter couldn't bear it.
Everyone saw the relationship between Ruan Mian and Xie Huaian.
Even though the two are separated by distance, they still respect each other and love each other.
The two had been married for just over a year, and he left without any children, and he was gone at such a young age.
Anyone who sees it will feel sorry for it.
Ruan Mian knew that time waited for no one, so she pretended to be calm, carried the coffin herself, and cooperated with Minister Dong to send it to Longchang Mountain for burial.
When she closed the coffin, she deliberately left an air hole.
Everyone in the post station witnessed his "funeral", and even Huo Zong rushed back from other places at full speed.
However, when he arrived, the ground had already been sealed.
Huo Zong couldn't believe it. He fell to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground in grief.
They had known each other for a while and had been classmates, but they had never expected that he would die in this Wuheng place.
In Huo Zong's eyes, he was such an outstanding person, a clean and honest official, full of ambition, and his family troubles never destroyed him. Even if a person like him died, he should not die from the poison of an unknown person! !
Just like he galloped on the battlefield, he wanted to die on the battlefield, a worthy death.
Thinking of this, Huo Zong felt even more indignant and immediately ordered with red eyes: "Even if it means turning the entire Wuheng City upside down!! You must find the traitor who killed Brother Huai!"
Ruan Mian just cried quietly without saying anything else.
Others thought she was too sad and had lost the ability to think. Zhang followed her closely and didn't even know how to say words of comfort.
All subsequent matters will be left to Minister Dong to handle.
In the middle of the night, Ruan Mian looked at the bright moon outside the window and calculated the time. He should have left Wu Heng's place by now.
Chen, who was standing by, kept wiping her tears. While Zhang went out to boil water, her sister-in-law held Ruan Mian's hand tightly.
Ruan Mian looked down and found that Chen was crying uncontrollably.
Perhaps she was thinking of her husband who had disappeared for many days, and she also felt the pain of Ruan Mian losing her lover. Words could not express her feelings, and she could only express her panic, trembling, heartache and other complex emotions by holding her wrists tightly.
Ruan Mian also understood her heart, patted the back of her hand and spoke softly.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. No matter what happens, I have to continue living. After all, besides Ah Huai, I also have you and my own life."
"Even in his grave, Ah Huai certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to me. Only if I live a good and happy life, his spirit in heaven will be more at ease."
He was clearly the one who needed to be comforted, but now he is the one comforting others.
However, these words suddenly enlightened Chen, who had been depressed for many days.
She opened her tearful eyes, fixed her gaze, tightened her grip, and said, "Mianmian, you...you're right."
"No matter what happens, we must stay strong and live on. Whether it's Lord Xie or your brother, they only want us to live well. Besides them, we still have our families and ourselves, and I still have Brother Jing."
Ruan Mian thought of what Xie Huaian said and encouraged Chen: "I am relieved that my sister-in-law can figure it out."
"I've never stopped looking for my brother. He's such a family man. Even if he were in trouble, he would definitely find a way to send us a message."
When Chen saw Ruan Mian like this, she felt that she was too fragile.
She should learn from her and be as strong as her, so that when A Zhou comes back, she won't worry about herself.
At this moment, my aunt, who had run all the way from the city, finally returned to the house.
She received the news of Xie Huaian's accident from Mr. Ruan who sent someone to Guancheng Shop with a message. The round trip took until midnight.
The aunt rushed to Ruan Mian's side breathlessly, and asked worriedly: "Mian Mian! Mian Mian! What on earth is going on? How could Ah Huai just disappear like that?"
"Who the hell killed him?! I, your aunt, will definitely seek justice for you! Follow me!"
Without waiting for Zhang and the others to comfort her, the aunt had already grabbed Ruan Mian's wrist and walked out of the house.
"Eldest sister! Elder sister, slow down!"
"Aunt, if you have something to say, just say it in the house. Why bother..." The eldest aunt ignored the consolation of Zhang and others behind her, and took Ruan Mian to the woods outside the house before she calmed down and asked.
