Most of the people in the manor were immersed in grief, so when Ning Qian was gone for a while, no one noticed.
Ning Xi'er returned to the mourning hall.
Chen Yuhong wanted to cry but had no tears, and numbly burned paper money.
Ning Yuan and Ning An knelt at the lower end. Their usually carefree and restless nature showed some sincerity towards their sister at this moment.
The old woman stepped forward and urged Chen Yuhong to drink some water to moisten her throat.
The old woman's call snapped Chen Yuhong back to her senses...
Looking at the sky outside, which was completely dark, he couldn't help but get up and walk straight to Ning Wei.
Ning Wei's face darkened. Without saying a word, he started walking away to a secluded spot.
Ning Xi'er smiled and followed Ning Wei slowly.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, Ning Wei seemed slightly taken aback to find no servants outside.
What would he be thinking as he prepares to kill his wife with his own hands?
His mother had been paralyzed for many years. Was it only now that he suddenly realized how simple and shabby the secluded courtyard where his mother lived was...?
There wasn't even a servant guarding the gate.
It's not that there isn't any, it's just that Cangwu was taken away by Ning Xier.
Pushing open the door, the old wooden door creaked open.
Ning Wei stared ahead.
The bed was slightly raised, and someone was sleeping peacefully on it without moving.
Even in the dim light, one could tell her identity without getting close.
Ning Wei suddenly realized that he and his wife had been estranged for so long.
Images of Shen Ning on her wedding day, radiant and beautiful, holding her child in her arms, gentle and serene, floated into my mind...
Then, everything changed.
Like a withered flower stamen, it has lost all its color and vitality.
At first, she could only move her lower body, and he would visit her, hire renowned doctors, and examine her...
Later on, I rarely stopped there, and never even went to look around.
He had seen the look of boundless longing in her eyes, and he had also seen the expression of utter admiration and fascination in her eyes...
I have also seen her later expressions of disappointment, sadness, regret, resentment, and hatred.
He stopped looking at her, and everyone in the manor assumed he had grown tired of her and was disgusted by her gloomy demeanor...
Only he knows the real reason.
She was ashamed and speechless, her captivating eyes...
I never even considered ending her life with my own hands, not for a single moment.
However, when her presence threatened his position, it aroused the Crown Prince's suspicion...
He wouldn't hesitate for a second.
That's just how he is—cold-blooded and aloof.
The moonlight filtered through the doorframe, casting Ning Wei's shadow on the ground...
It was very long and had a ferocious appearance.
Like a soul-collecting detective from the underworld.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Ning Wei slowly walked to the bed.
With just a fleeting glance, I saw the thin person on the bed, silent and with eyes wide open!
Ning Wei was startled!
He rarely showed such surprise and discomposure.
After realizing that the other person couldn't move, couldn't shout, and couldn't even yell at him...
Ning Wei suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly.
He lifted his robe and sat facing outwards on the edge of Shen Ning's bed.
The person on the bed remained motionless, but Ning Wei suddenly spoke.
It was as if they were talking to the person in the center of the room, rather than the person on the bed.
"In this life, I have failed you..."
When Ning Wei spoke, his tone revealed no emotion whatsoever.
Ning Wei added, "Instead of expecting such suffering, it's better to be free sooner..."
Ning Xi'er snorted softly from a distance, "How shameless!"
Who would complain that someone is blocking their way, yet claim they're thinking of the other person's best interests?!
Ning Xi'er didn't expect to hear any repentance from Ning Wei, so when he finished speaking those two sentences and was about to turn away...
Ning Xi'er wasn't too disappointed.
On the contrary, a cruel pleasure appeared on his face.
Ning Wei ultimately couldn't look directly into Chen Ning's eyes, at this woman who had borne him children and begged her father to recommend her for a position...
Kill him with my own hands!
Ning Wei reached out, his thumbs and forefingers pressed together, and approached Chen Ning's throat...
Lower your head and grip it tightly!
The person on the bed had neither the strength nor the ability to struggle or make a sound; they couldn't even flail about...
Ning Wei remained in that position for an unknown amount of time, until he felt the skin between his thumb and forefinger gradually cool down...
Suddenly realizing what was happening, he fled in a panic!
