After staying in Dashan Village for another two months, Ning Hong packed her bags and left the village with her grandmother, Ning Anuo, and Qian Duo.
They even sold their house and the land.
This was done very quietly.
Almost no one in the entire village knew about it.
When Su Ning came to visit again, she could no longer find Ning Hongze and the others.
"Where is Ning Hongze?"
"Oh, he's gone. He said he went to stay with relatives."
"Go to stay with relatives?"
Where did their relatives come from? Did they go to the capital?
Did they go to seek refuge with the Marquis of Dingyuan?
Su Ning staggered. Her body trembled almost uncontrollably.
"These two unfilial sons actually abandoned me?"
She is now divorced and has left the Yin family. The Su family can't tolerate her anymore, and her other two sons are practically useless. The only person she can rely on is Ning Hongze.
He then left without a word.
No, he can't. He absolutely cannot leave like this. Even if he has to leave, he must take her, his mother, with him.
But in the end, it was too late—
Of course, it's not just Suning that's suffering.
The Qian family was also quite distressed.
He had just learned that the Ning family had recognized a wealthy man as their father-in-law, and was just thinking of going over to take advantage of the situation, when the family suddenly disappeared without a word.
"This is outrageous! They took my daughter away without a word."
"Come on, your daughter? That's not your daughter. Your daughter died a long time ago," a village woman complained.
That's true. If Qian Duo hadn't met some kind-hearted person, he'd probably be dead by now.
Qian Lai stood silently to the side.
She knew that the Ning family was leaving.
The day before yesterday, while she was doing laundry, Qian Duo secretly came to her and slipped her a twenty-tael silver note, telling her to hide it well.
"If you can't make it any better, go to the county magistrate and ask him to find a way to send you to the capital to find us. We'll be waiting for you there."
She couldn't be given too much money, because if she was, she would have nowhere to hide it, and if the Qian family found out, Qian Lai's situation would be precarious.
Qian Lai sewed the money into her bodice. She didn't want anyone to see it easily; this was her confidence in facing the future.
If one day her parents really do decide to buy her, she can simply leave.
Money is also something that makes people easily satisfied.
She was grateful for Qian Duo's actions.
They certainly wouldn't tell anyone that she was leaving.
The Qian family went home grumbling and cursing.
They finally understood that for the rest of their lives, their daughter Qian Duo would no longer be a part of their lives.
But it doesn't matter, they still have money. With their looks, they should be able to sell for a lot of money—no, a dowry, a bride price!
They, of course, were unaware that the day before their departure, Qian Duo had stirred up Qian Lai's restless heart, yearning for rebellion—
The following year, they planned to use the money to sell the house to a wealthy family in town as a second wife.
This man's son is about the same age as his father.
Qian Lai was naturally unwilling. If she had no money and no other choice, she would probably have to obey the Qian family's orders, marry a man old enough to be her grandfather, and become the Qian family's ATM. But—she touched her clothes.
I've got an idea in mind.
The money came and went.
This was something the Qian family never expected.
How dare she run away?
How did she escape?
The Qian family couldn't understand it, nor could they figure it out.
However, the marriage was off, and all the betrothal gifts they had received had to be returned, which was absolutely heartbreaking for them.
When those people didn't receive the money, they beat up the Qian family severely. In order to pay for the treatment, they ended up spending all the money they had saved up.
They never cherished their two dutiful daughters, leaving only Qianjin. Qianjin is no good; he's been spoiled rotten. Qianjin's parents are in for a rough time.
The same applies to Suning.
Her two sons are already useless.
Even if they weren't abolished, their own interests would still outweigh those of others.
Not long after, a major incident occurred at the Yin residence.
Yin Long got drunk and actually tried to grope his illegitimate daughter, who then stabbed him.
This illegitimate daughter, without hesitation, set fire to the Yin mansion, packed her bags, and fled with her mother.
That fire burned the Yin mansion to the ground.
The Yin family was gone, but Yin Long did not die; he was merely disfigured.
As for his two sons, the elder son was lame and did not escape, while the younger son was unharmed.
But now that his appearance is completely ruined, he can no longer work as a pawnbroker, and the Yin family has been completely burned down. After thinking about it, he took his youngest son and went to live with Su Ning. After all, a night of marriage is a hundred nights of kindness.
Suning will probably never have a moment of peace for the rest of his life.
As for the illegitimate daughter and concubine, there was no further news about them.
Yin Long did report it to the authorities, but still found no clues.
It's as if they vanished into thin air.
Suning tried to inquire about Ning Hongze more than once, but never received any information.
She wanted to escape from here, to leave this place.
However, Yin Long and her youngest son followed her like a shadow, and no matter where she ran, she would be caught and brought back.
Her dowry was limited, Yin Long was not good at business, and her youngest son only knew how to spend money. Before long, he squandered all the money she had left.
In the days that followed, she was forced to sell one thing after another, even her maids and servants.
Su Ning is living the life she had when she married Ning's father.
No, it was even worse than that. At least, Ning's father never hit her and would do his best to help her with chores.
He never had the heart to be harsh with her.
As Su Ning was washing clothes, she suddenly remembered the man who had once been willing to wash her feet.
The face she had thought was blurry became clear once again.
Su Ning bit her lower lip, almost overwhelmed by regret.
The capital city.
After Xiao Guo finished speaking quietly, Jiang Cha suddenly stood up, her smile impossible to hide.
"They're really here?"
"Yes, the whole family has come. They might stay in the capital. Prince Ming has already gone to pick them up."
"I'm going to visit the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence."
Unable to contain her joy, Jiang Cha couldn't help but want to hurry to the Marquis's residence.
This was the first time Ning Anuo and Jiang Yun had met.
Mingzhi had always thought that Ning Anuo and his mother would meet and burst into tears, and that the scene would be warm and touching. But she never expected it to be so calm.
"You're my own mother?"
Ning Anuo subconsciously touched her face. "No wonder they recognized me at a glance. We look so alike."
"Isn't it good to be like your mother?"
"It's not heroic enough."
