Chapter 133: Family Law in the Ancestral Hall, Suicide by Hanging
Nangong Muyan covered her face, tears flowing down her swollen cheeks.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning was distracted at an inappropriate time.
She had never seen that woman cry, nor had she seen that woman roar, rage, or lose her soul. In her memory, that woman looked at people with a smile most of the time, with a pair of eyes full of affection, as if full of deep affection, but in fact, there was a deep chill in them.
That woman was a natural killer, and she was always better than Jiang Ning in killing people.
Thanks to Nangong Muyan, so many vivid expressions appeared on this face, which feasted Jiang Ning's eyes.
It's really interesting, it's worth it to see this scene! Jiang Ning thought.
"Mother," Nangong Muyan looked at Luo Siyi with sorrowful eyes: "Even you don't stand on my side?"
Luo Siyi's eyes were already red from crying, and the disappointment and pain on her face were obvious: "How can you be so cruel? You are also a woman, how can you be so cruel to her?"
"Oh! I am cruel?" Nangong Muyan laughed at herself: "Mother, don't you dislike her too? She is the child of father and another woman, and you have never looked at her straight in the eye. I took her away from the house, why are you blaming me?"
"Yes, I don't like her." Luo Siyi closed her eyes, recalling the nightmare scene more than ten years ago, her face full of pain: "Nangong Ling is innocent, her biological mother is also innocent, I don't like her but I don't hate her either, the damned person died seventeen years ago..."
Nangong Muyan sneered again: "Hypocritical! When Nangong Ling was five years old, she called you mother, didn't you kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment?"
"That was my punishment, and it wasn't because Ling'er called her mother 'mom', but because the servants instigated Ling'er to ask your mother if it was your mother who killed her biological mother."
Nangong Ya spoke solemnly, and continued, "Your mother is a hundred times kinder than you. Even the matter of preparing the same dowry for Ling'er as yours was suggested by her."
Nangong Muyan was stunned for a moment, looking at the couple in disbelief, and after a moment she laughed, "Hahaha... OK, OK, you are all good people, and I am the bad person, hahaha..."
Nangong Muyan laughed wildly for a while, with tears on her face. She raised her sleeves and wiped her face fiercely, with a look of determination that Jiang Ning could not understand: "Then I will be a wicked person to the end, and no one will have an easy life!"
After she finished speaking, Nangong Muyan took a last look at Luo Siyi and Nangong Ya, opened the study door and ran out by herself.
"Nangong Muyan, stop!"
Nangong Ya shouted, but Nangong Muyan did not stop at all and ran away in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Ning was about to catch up, but Jin Yao came back at this time, lowered his head and reported to Nangong Ya: "My lord, everything has been handled."
"Okay, you go and prepare the family rules, and then bring Nangong Muyan to the ancestral hall for me! I must teach her a lesson!" Nangong Ya looked at the direction where Nangong Muyan left and said angrily.
Jin Yao replied "yes" and went out again.
Jiang Ning also stopped at this time, not in a hurry, and looked at Nangong Ya's family rules first.
"Husband..." Luo Siyi walked up with a resentful face, grabbed Nangong Ya's sleeve, and said in a mournful voice and choked with sobs: "How could Yan'er...how could she become like this? We didn't teach the child well, it's our fault, it's all our fault..."
Nangong Ya hugged Luo Siyi in his arms distressed and comforted her softly: "Siyi, it's my fault, I don't blame you. Fortunately, Yan'er is still young. I'll take this opportunity to educate her well. I hope she can change for the better."
Luo Siyi leaned on Nangong Ya's shoulder and sobbed: "You must have sent someone to find her, you must find her back! No matter what happened, you must find her back!"
Jiang Ning knew that the "she" in Luo Siyi's mouth was talking about herself.
Nangong Ya said "hmm", and gently raised his sleeves to wipe the tears from Luo Siyi's face: "Don't worry about Ling'er, I'll tell you later. Let's go to the ancestral hall first and let Yan'er bear the punishment she deserves."
Luo Siyi nodded, and then listened to her husband continue: "I didn't teach my daughter well, and I should apologize to our ancestors..."
Jiang Ning waited patiently for the couple to talk for a while, and finally followed them out of the study and walked towards the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall is not far from the study. Jiang Ning took a look outside when she was strolling yesterday. The door of that place has been closed all the time. As expected, it should be the tablets of the ancestors of the Nangong family.
When Jiang Ning followed Nangong Ya and Luo Siyi to the outside of the ancestral hall, Lao Zhong was waiting outside the door. When he saw them coming, he said, "My lord, madam, the family rules are ready. Jin Yao has gone to find the second lady."
Nangong Ya nodded and walked in with Luo Siyi in his arms.
After entering the dim ancestral hall, a pile of black tablets caught the eye. On the incense table in the front was an incense burner with three burning incense sticks inserted in it.
Jiang Ning was very curious about what the so-called "family rules" were. Looking left and right, only the whip next to the incense table met the requirements.
So the family rules are just whipping with a whip?
So simple?
Jiang Ning was disappointed.
But on second thought, he couldn't expect Nangong Ya to kill his daughter. Some beating is better than no beating.
Let Nangong Ya beat Nangong Muyan first, and then Jiang Ning will find an opportunity to repeat the method that Nangong Muyan used on Nangong Ling on her. This seems to be a good idea.
Jiang Ning was perfecting her future plans in her mind, but she saw Jin Yao running over in a panic, his face was terribly pale, and a bad premonition came to her.
"Where is the person?"
Nangong Ya looked at Jin Yao who was coming over, frowning and asked. Didn't he ask Jin Yao to bring Nangong Muyan here to be punished?
"Second Miss, she..." Jin Yao's voice was shaking violently. He swallowed hard, forced himself to calm down, and said the following words in full: "She hanged herself!"
Jiang Ning stood up from the bamboo house, cursed "Fuck" in her heart, and ran to Nangong Muyan's yard regardless of how others reacted.
She finally understood where Nangong Muyan's determination came from when she left, and also understood what the sentence "If the evil people do it to the end, no one will have an easy life" meant.
Nangong Muyan, she wanted to punish her parents with her own death!
"Damn it!"
Jiang Ning cursed again. She was really bad at habits. She felt at ease when hurting others, but when people found out, her psychological endurance was so poor that she only knew how to seek death. What a fool!
Jiang Ning would not allow Nangong Muyan to die like this. She had not received the punishment she deserved, so how could she dare to die so easily? She must not get away with it!
"Ah!"
The moment Luo Siyi heard the news, she screamed uncontrollably and fell backwards. Fortunately, Nangong Ya supported her with his body.
"Siyi! Don't scare me, Siyi!" Nangong Ya also felt like he was struck by lightning, but looking at Luo Siyi who was about to fall, he forced himself to calm down.
"Go... go..."
After Luo Siyi stood firm, she opened her mouth and burst into tears. She couldn't say a complete sentence, but just pulled Nangong Ya to walk somewhere.
Nangong Ya knew what his wife meant, so he supported her and rushed to Nangong Muyan's yard.
Jiang Ning arrived first. Seeing Lao Zhong, Jin Hui and several servants guarding outside the yard, she found an empty wall and came out of the space, and was about to walk in.
"Third Miss?" Jin Hui was surprised to see Jiang Ning appearing here.
Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to go into the house, Jin Hui quickly reached out to stop her: "Third Miss, you can't--" "
Get out!"
Jiang Ning was furious and pulled Jin Hui's collar. Seeing that Lao Zhong also wanted to come over to stop her, she threw him directly at Lao Zhong and walked in quickly.
Jin Hui didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so strong. She was thrown out without any preparation and hit Lao Zhong. The two of them took three or four steps back before they could stand firm. When he raised his eyes again, Jiang Ning had already entered the house.
Nangong Muyan was hanged with several pieces of clothes tied together. At this moment, she had been put down and was lying motionless on the bed, without any sign of life.
Jiang Ning walked forward and touched her chest with her hand. There was no heartbeat. Then she touched the artery in her neck. There was no pulse.
She was dead!
Jiang Ning's heart couldn't stop sinking, but she walked to the table without giving up. She filled a large cup with spiritual spring water, then helped Nangong Muyan up and leaned her against her arms. She pinched her tightly closed mouth open, lifted her lower jaw, and poured water into her mouth.
A dead person can't swallow.
Not a drop of the water was left. It all flowed down the corners of Nangong Muyan's mouth and wet their clothes.
Jiang Ning's heart sank to the bottom.
