Chapter 1295: Taking Poison
Su Laosan was feeling a little complicated.
Although this man was following Yang Ning's orders, he did save his and his wife's lives.
It is reasonable and emotional that he should repay this man well.
But he didn't know if there would be another opportunity.
This man looks like he's going to die, I'm afraid he doesn't want to live anymore.
It has to be said that at this moment, whether it was Yang Ning, the old woman, or this man, the expressions on the faces of the three people were similar.
Mrs. Su looked at Yang Ning and opened her mouth.
She wanted to ask Yang Ning, why?
Why save her?
Why give her the evidence?
Doesn’t she hate the Sun family?
Doesn't she hate his parents?
Yang Ning seemed to understand what Third Sister Su was trying to say, and said coldly, "I do hate the Sun family! However, since your grandfather paid with his life for your father, the grudge between me and the Sun family is naturally over. As for the suffering you suffered later, including the destruction of your family..."
Yang Ning's voice paused, and a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes again.
Then, he said stubbornly, "That's what you should bear as a child. It's just that your crime doesn't deserve death. I saved your life because I don't want to be tainted by karma because of you! You don't deserve it!"
Mrs. Su: “…”
The slight gratitude that had just risen in my heart towards Yang Ning disappeared immediately.
Mrs. Su San has always been smart.
Although she didn't want to believe that her parents had done such a thing, her reason told her that Yang Ning was not lying.
She couldn't even bring herself to ask others for confirmation.
The old woman looked at Yang Ning, her eyes full of helplessness and doting.
"The eldest lady is still like this, always tough on the outside but soft on the inside. She obviously wouldn't even step on an ant, but she insists on acting like a villain. She treated the second lady the same way before, and she treated the Sun family the same way..."
"Mom Wu, I..." Yang Ning opened her mouth.
"Miss, please listen to me first." Mother Wu held Yang Ning's hand and said, "Ever since that day when the Third Prince went to the General's Mansion to see Miss, I have noticed something strange about her. It was then that Miss wanted to take the blame for me..."
"Over the years, it was this old slave who implicated the young lady. I understand that the young lady must have guessed that I was involved in the witchcraft case, so she recites sutras in front of the Buddha every day to atone for my sins..."
When Mother Wu said this, her body suddenly shook and a hint of blue appeared on her lips.
"Mother Wu, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you okay, godmother?"
Yang Ning and the middle-aged man looked at each other in unison.
Mother Wu shook her head, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm fine, Miss, don't worry. I just hope that you can live well. Otherwise, I won't have the face to see the old lady in the underworld... Puff!"
Mother Wu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the side.
"Mother Wu!"
"Godmother!"
Yang Ning and the middle-aged man both changed their expressions and reached out to support Mother Wu.
Lord Xia, the old general and others were also surprised.
Lord Xia quickly ordered someone to call a doctor.
Mother Wu struggled and looked at Lord Xia.
"Sir, sir, it was all done by me... Please let Miss go..." Mother Wu said intermittently.
As he spoke, blood gushed out from the corner of his mouth.
When Yang Ning saw it, she burst into tears.
"Wuwu...Mother Wu, please stop talking. The doctor will be here soon..."
Yang Ning spoke in panic as she reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of Mother Wu's mouth.
Mother Wu shook her head and said, "It's useless... There's no antidote for the poison I took..."
"No, no! There must be a way... wuwu..."
Yang Ning was crying uncontrollably, shaking her head desperately, and was already in a state of panic.
Mother Wu has been by her side ever since she injured her leg.
In her heart, she had long regarded Mother Wu as her own mother.
"Miss... don't cry... this old slave... feels so bad..."
Mother Wu spoke intermittently, trying to reach out and wipe Yang Ning's tears as she did in the past.
Unfortunately, my hands are weak.
Yang Ning cried even more heartbrokenly.
"Wuwu...Mother Wu, it's all because of me..."
Mother Wu's eyes suddenly widened, and she didn't know where she got the strength from, but she raised her hand to cover Yang Ning's mouth.
Then, he looked at Yang Ning with pleading eyes and said intermittently: "Miss... Promise me, I will live..."
Yang Ning: “…”
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she nodded under Mother Wu's pleading gaze.
Mother Wu seemed relieved, and turned her head with difficulty to look at the middle-aged man, her godson Wu Shu.
"Take good care of...Miss..." Mother Wu said weakly.
Wu Shu's face was already filled with tears. He nodded heavily and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, godmother. I will protect the young lady even if it means my death..."
After hearing this, Mother Wu showed a relieved expression on her face.
She had no children in her life and always treated Yang Ning as her own daughter and Wu Shu, her godson, as her own son.
Mother Wu's eyes slowly turned to Yang Ning again, but the hand covering Yang Ning's mouth suddenly fell down...
"Mother Wu!"
"Godmother!"
Yang Ning and Wu Shu cried out in grief.
Mother Wu slowly closed her eyes and died.
Yang Ning leaned on Mother Wu's body, crying heart-wrenchingly.
The people who were watching the excitement outside the court hall also sighed when they saw this.
This is what happened.
No one expected that it was a slave who deceived his superiors and subordinates and committed such a heinous crime.
Suddenly, someone said bitterly, "It's a relief for her that this old villain is dead! She actually dared to frame the Empress. How audacious! The Empress is the Empress chosen by heaven, and because of her, she has been unable to defend herself for ten years..."
Before this person finished speaking, several people in the crowd around him looked at each other and began to echo his words.
"That's right! The Queen can even find the Phoenix Seal of Destiny. She is the undisputed Queen of Great Yan..."
"If you ask me, this old villain should be cut into pieces..."
“That’s right…”
…
For a moment, those ordinary people who were originally sighing in their hearts, after hearing what these people said, began to speak up and agree.
After all, the Phoenix Seal that had been lost for a thousand years was found by the Queen of their Great Yan Dynasty.
Moreover, they managed to achieve this in their generation, which was something they were proud of.
Now that I know that the Empress was wronged for ten years by a servant, I naturally feel extremely resentful.
When those people saw the public opinion stirring up, they couldn't help but exchange a knowing look among themselves.
Ordinary people don’t know that many gossip lovers have appeared in the capital recently.
Most of these people were promoting the fact that the Empress was born with a phoenix destiny.
