Chapter 98: Cruel, I will enjoy happiness without children and grandchildren
Feng Ming quickly left the room and went to find water to put out the fire.
Unexpectedly, the fire behind the house had not been put out yet and the yard started to catch fire again.
There were flammable objects in the thatched house, and the fire was so fierce that it burned half of the yard in a short while.
This fire cannot be put out, the most urgent thing is to leave here!
Beigong You hurriedly called Feng Ming over, "We can't stay here for long. Let's go, Aunt Zhang!"
"Yes." Feng Ming hurriedly carried the person on the couch on his back.
As soon as they walked out of the room, tongues of flames licked towards them, and the yard in front turned into a sea of fire.
Behind him, there was also flames shooting up into the sky.
"Be careful!" Before Lin Miaoyin could react, a huge force hit her and she was pulled into a broad chest.
The next moment, the burning crossbar fell behind them, raising a cloud of dust.
The mask on Lin Miaoyin's face also fell to the ground.
Beigong You noticed that her face turned slightly pale, and then he realized that she was afraid.
She even dared to threaten her father, and she was actually afraid of these things.
Oh, she is just an eighteen-year-old girl after all.
Seeing the fire approaching, he had no time to think and hurriedly led his men out of the yard.
For a moment, the blazing flames illuminated half the sky.
Just as they were out of danger, they heard a loud "bang" and the thatched house behind them, which had been burned into a wooden frame, collapsed with a roar of dust.
That was a close call!
Lin Miaoyin felt a little scared.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay now." Beigong You comforted.
Lin Miaoyin quickly got up from the man's arms and said, "Who is scared? You are the only one who is scared."
Beigong You suddenly laughed.
She looks kind of cute when she's being stubborn.
Lin Miaoyin: "..."
Why are you still laughing at this time? What the hell!
Just as she was about to look away, she noticed a thin layer of sweat on the man's forehead. She suddenly remembered that Beigong You had been holding her.
Although she was not heavy, it was still difficult for Beigong You.
"Are you okay?" she asked hurriedly.
Beigong You shook his head. He was indeed a little out of breath just now.
But now, my breathing has calmed down a lot and I am not in any serious trouble for the time being.
Looking at the people holding torches not far away, he narrowed his eyes fiercely.
Feng Ming shouted angrily, "What are you doing? If the fire just now hurt the prince, you would have chopped off more heads than you can count!"
"Your Highness?" The leading man's expression suddenly changed.
Before he could say anything, Aunt Zhang on Feng Ming's back started to curse with shaking hands, "Rebellious son, do you know that this is my Beiliang's War King? If you hurt him, you will be a sinner for the entire Beiliang!"
What made her most heartbroken was that she gave birth to him, raised him, and worked like a slave for the Qian family for decades, but not only did he throw her into this shabby yard, he also wanted to burn her to death!
Fortunately, the prince is fine, otherwise she would be blamed for it even if she died.
"Could it be... that you are Prince Ning?" The man in the lead was Qian Ming, the son of Nanny Zhang.
When he heard the word "War King", he was so frightened that his knees went weak.
"Your Highness, I didn't mean to burn you, but, but..." He knelt on the ground and trembled with fear. It took him a while to react, "Why are you here?"
His mother was Prince Ning's wet nurse and had taken care of Prince Ning in the cold palace for many years.
Later, when Prince Ning was thirteen years old, he was sent to Wudang Mountain, and she was sent back home by the Queen.
They didn't see each other again for ten years.
Even when Prince Ning won a battle and was crowned king and granted a title by the Emperor, he never thought of sending some money or other things to their home to take care of them and their son.
He had complained to her more than once that Prince Ning had no conscience.
She was even forced to send several letters to Prince Ning's Mansion to complain, but there was no response.
He thought that Prince Ning had already forgotten about this wet nurse, but who knew that she would appear at this time.
His mother is about to die, what's the point of him coming?
"Madame Zhang is sick. As her son, why don't you call a doctor for her?" Feng Ming wanted to beat this unfilial son severely.
He never imagined that he would actually burn Nanny Zhang to death.
This is matricide!
"If my mother had a common disease, I would have called a doctor for her. But this is smallpox! It's not that I don't want to, but no one dares to treat this disease." Qian Ming knelt on the ground with an embarrassed look on his face.
The woman next to him also agreed, "I can testify that no one can cure my mother-in-law's disease. When the doctors in town heard that it was smallpox, they didn't even bother to treat it. My husband and I have consulted four or five doctors. If you don't believe me, you can ask the neighbors. They can all testify."
When she turned around, she found that the neighbor who had come with them to light the fire had sneaked away at some point.
At this time, only the couple were left here.
"Since no one can treat her, you are going to burn her to death?" Beigong You questioned.
Nanny Zhang was suffering from smallpox, so they sent her to this shabby thatched cottage to prevent the spread of the disease. He could understand that, but how could they dare to do such a heinous act as matricide!
"Your Highness Prince Ning, it's not that we are cruel, we just have no choice."
"Ever since my mother-in-law got smallpox, the town has been in an uproar. Everyone knew about it in less than a day. They said the disease was terrible and if the source of the disease was not destroyed, we would all die. They also said that if we were soft-hearted, they would do it themselves and burn our entire family to death. My Kun'er is only eight years old!"
"Prince Ning, please understand. My husband and I are also forced into a helpless situation..."
The couple sang the same tune, looking like they had suffered a great injustice, which made Aunt Zhang cough in anger, "Nonsense, you are talking nonsense..."
The village chief persuaded them both several times to properly place her.
But they were both so afraid of death and being infected that they wanted to kill her.
Seeing how furious Nanny Zhang was, Beigong You knew that these two people were saying these things just to fool him and exonerate themselves.
He glanced at Aunt Zhang, who was still shivering slightly, and said angrily, "I will settle the score with you later on about this matter!"
"Feng Ming, take Aunt Zhang back to the palace!"
It won’t be too late to deal with them after Aunt Zhang recovers from her illness!
"Yes, I'll drive the car right away." Feng Ming carried Nanny Zhang on his back and left.
"Prince Ning, please spare my life, please spare my life..."
"King Ning, please forgive us. We will never dare to do it again..."
Looking at her son and daughter-in-law kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Aunt Zhang felt heartbroken and chilled, so she simply looked away.
Since the prince left the palace and set up his own residence, he has sent people to take her back to Ning Wang Mansion to spend her old age more than once. She was worried about her useless son and young grandson at home, so she refused many times.
Who would have thought that after working hard for this family for half her life, she would end up like this.
It is said that raising children is a way to provide for one’s old age, but she was wrong!
Lin Miaoyin left with Feng Ming in the car. She glanced at the two people on the ground, then looked at the slightly hunched Nanny Zhang, and she couldn't help but sigh.
A loving mother often spoils her child.
The current fate of mother and son is also closely related to Aunt Zhang’s doting.
The same thing.
Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If I don’t have any, I will enjoy my own blessings.
She must be ruthless!
