Ning Xi'er didn't intend to take any of the things in the courtyard with her mother.
While retrieving clothes from Chen Qian's room, I also took some items from the courtyard to temporarily store them.
It's meant to be used right now...
"Who exactly is playing tricks?"
When Ning Wei flew into a rage, Ning Xi'er threw out a heavy garment from her spatial storage.
Ning Wei slashed down with his sword mid-air!
Ning Xi'er then swung her other shoe, hitting Ning Wei in the face...
Ning Wei narrowly avoided it.
Ning Xi'er circled behind Ning Wei and suddenly threw out two hairpins used for contemplation...
Plain wood, without any luster, it's not a pity to throw it away.
Ning Wei realized it, but it was too late.
Although it was just a tap, which didn't hurt too much, it was enough to shock him.
Ning Xi'er changed her position and suddenly threw something at him...
Before two cups of tea had been brewed, Ning Wei was panting heavily, on the verge of collapse.
"Who? Who is it?"
Ning Che, or Ning Xu?
"Come out here! If you've got the guts, stand in front of me!"
Ning Xi'er sneered, standing at a distance that wasn't too close or too far, and lowered her voice, "You are not worthy to know!"
As soon as the sound was uttered, Ning Wei's longsword flew towards the source of the sound!
The speed of his movements revealed that his earlier breakdown was merely a ploy to lull Ning Xi'er into a false sense of security, causing her to lower her guard and reveal a weakness...
Ning Xi'er was quick and dodged away.
Seeing through everything, continuing to argue would only buy Ning Wei time.
Ning Xi'er walked around to Chen Yuhong's side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "You think this is the end?"
Hehe, just wait and see....
Soon, it will be your two sons' turn, your great general father!
I want you to suffer a fate worse than death, to rot away bit by bit inside this body...
Watching the people I care about die one by one!
Chen Yuhong's eyes widened suddenly. Ning Xi'er clapped her hands and walked towards the door...
Looking at Ning Wei, who was wary of his surroundings, he curled his lips into a cold smile.
Ning Xi'er took out several candles from her spatial storage, lit one, and tossed it into the coffin with its gaps in the center of the mourning hall...
Light another one and toss it onto the outer robe covering Ning Qian's body...
Throw another one, onto the soft couch beneath Chen Yuhong...
Ning Xi'er couldn't bear to see her die; a little scalding or a scare would be good.
Throw another one, onto the white curtain hanging high in the mourning hall...
One after another, flames erupted in the mourning hall, but Ning Wei's condition worsened with the effort...
The remaining trusted confidants outside rushed in...
But the fire spread very quickly, beyond human control.
Drawing water from the kitchen and the well was like a drop in the ocean...
Ning Xi'er had calculated that they were outnumbered at the moment. Even if they went out to ask the Imperial Guards for help, by the time everyone brought the water in...
The body was almost completely burned.
Although grabbing anything from the storage space, like a grenade or other weapon, would be much easier than this...
But this left Chen Yuhong helpless, watching as the situation unfolded...
Only then can Ning Xi'er's anger be quelled.
According to the original owner's memories from her previous life, if Ning Xi'er hadn't returned this time, dealt with Ning Xi and Ning Qian, and taken revenge on Chen Yuhong...
What they're going to do next is take their sister-in-law and children hostage, and harm their eldest and second eldest brothers...
Coveting the title of Marquis, if his two elder brothers were to die, Ningyuan would become the heir of the Marquis of Dingyuan!
Once her mother is dealt with, she will be the sole wife of the Marquis's household, and her children will be the rightful heirs and daughters of the legitimate wife...
How wishful thinking!
snort!
Ning Xi'er looked at the towering flames and prepared to leave the Marquis's residence...
He remained invisible and walked out of the main entrance with dignity, but his figure suddenly swayed!
Not far from the Marquis of Dingyuan’s residence, a carriage was parked.
An elderly man with white hair and beard stood at the entrance, dressed in a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, his eyes closed, and chanting incantations.
Ning Yuan and Ning An stood on either side, looking both nervous and smug.
"Taoist priest, is there really a demon in the mansion?"
Ning An couldn't help but ask.
"Fourth brother, the Taoist priest is performing a spell. Do not disturb him."
Ning Yuan's voice was cold and stern.
Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to detect an unusual burnt smell in the air...
Looking towards the mansion, one could see a person fleeing in panic...
Upon closer inspection, it was his father's trusted confidant.
Upon seeing Ning Yuan and Ning An, the other party's face lit up with joy. "Young masters, the mourning hall has suddenly caught fire, and we need people inside. Please hurry and put out the fire!"
Ning Yuan and Ning An were shocked. Ning Yuan negotiated with the commander of the Imperial Guards, and Ning An and his confidants led a team of men to immediately enter the mansion to put out the fire...
Ning Yuan remained by the Taoist priest's side. Seeing the priest slowly open his eyes, he couldn't help but ask:
"Master, how is it?"
Unlike his hair and beard, the Taoist priest's eyes were bluish-white, making him appear like a young man.
With a clear gaze sweeping across the endless void, the Taoist priest slowly spoke, "They've already left."
Hiding in the space to avoid worrying her mother, sister-in-law, and Zheng Ye, Ning Xi'er entered the medical space directly from the other side.
Ning Xi'er took off her coat and found that the skin on her shoulder was burned.
There was a faint golden rune mark on the wound, barely visible.
Recalling that glimpse he'd seen at the entrance of the Marquis's mansion, the old Taoist priest suddenly opened his eyes, and the words he uttered...
Golden runes poured from his mouth and hurtled towards Ning Xi'er!
Ning Xi'er dodged, but the runes seemed to be able to track her, zigzagging as they came after her...
Watching helplessly as the Taoist priest chanted faster and faster, producing more and more runes, and his attack speed increased...
Ning Xi'er couldn't dodge in time, and her shoulder was grazed, followed by a burning pain in her back...
At the critical moment, Ning Xi'er flashed into the spatial dimension.
The Taoist priest disappeared, and the talismans disappeared too...
I never expected this Taoist priest to be so powerful...
