Chapter 1845 A crime

Lord Ning sighed: "Then just wait, we'll find out tomorrow!"



There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Young Master Ning's wish was not fulfilled and that he wanted to be imprisoned to calm down his grievances spread like wildfire in Qing'an County overnight.

The next day, in the Ning family's mourning hall.

Mrs. Ning, who had been crying all night, was almost exhausted and sat on a chair on the side, staring blankly at the coffin with big white flowers hanging on it.

A girl stood beside her, and two girls squatted beside the coffin, burning incense paper.

Master Ning also didn't sleep a wink all night. He sat on the other side and sighed.

The eldest daughter looked anxiously at the door of the mourning hall, glancing at the hourglass in the room from time to time.

"It's almost midnight, why haven't even half of the people from the Han family come?" She muttered to herself, walking anxiously around the door and spinning in circles.

After a while, the housekeeper came hurriedly towards this direction.

"Master, madam, someone from the Han family is here!"

Upon hearing this, Master Ning and Mrs. Ning stood up from their stools at the same time, and Master Ning took the lead and rushed to the entrance of the mourning hall.

The person who came was the housekeeper of the Han family.

Lord Ning glanced at the empty house behind the Han family's housekeeper, his face full of disappointment.

But he still brought the Han family’s butler into the mourning hall.

"Steward Han, why are you here alone? Where is my sister and brother-in-law?" Master Ning asked after standing still.

Butler Han said: "Go back to my uncle, my uncle sent me to confess to my uncle."

"My young lady fell ill after returning home yesterday because she was too sad. She has been half awake and half comatose. She drank less than half a bowl of rice soup for more than a day and was really unable to walk."

"As long as my wife stays in the house to look after the young lady, I can't spare the time to come over."

After hearing what the Han family's housekeeper said, the Ning family understood.

Mrs. Ning's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and the four girls behind her also had angry faces.

"What do you mean aunt and uncle?"

"Back to the eldest young lady, my master also said that death is like a lamp going out. My young lady and Mr. Ling are also destined to have no connection, so they can only follow fate."

"This is the divorce document for our Han family. Please accept it."

After receiving the divorce document, Mr. Ning's hands could not help but tremble.

Behind her, Mrs. Ning was so sad that she covered her face and cried loudly.

Seeing this, the Han family's housekeeper said again: "My uncle and his wife would like to express my condolences. If there are no other instructions, I will leave first."

After the Han family's housekeeper left in a hurry, Ning Su's four sisters couldn't help but angrily condemned him in the mourning hall.

"The Han family has gone too far. Even if they don't agree, they should at least inform them in advance. What should we do if you come in so tight?"

"And that Pearl, she cried so hard yesterday that she wished she could die for our brother."

"Isn't it just a formality to let her come and hold the memorial tablet? We don't really want to stuff her into the coffin so that she can be buried with our brother! As for pretending to be sick!"

Listening to the angry condemnation of the daughters beside him, Mr. Ning's face became extremely solemn, while Mrs. Ning almost fainted from crying.

"My son, your parents are useless and cannot fulfill your wishes..."

While weeping, Master Cining came over with two more novice monks.

"Was it quiet in the house last night?" Master Cining asked as he entered the house.

Master Ning shook his head, "It was even more ferocious than the night before. Our whole family hid in the mourning hall and did not dare to go anywhere else. Especially after midnight, the whole yard was full of cats meowing. We went out to chase them, but half of them were missing..."

Master Cining nodded: "This is another young master who is impatient with waiting. It is said that we are relatives when we are alive, but we become tigers after death."

"Have you found the person you want to marry?" Master Cining asked again.

Lord Ning shook his head.

"The Han family doesn't agree. Master Cining, can the person of this sex be replaced?" he asked.

Master Cining thought for a while and said: "It is okay to change people, but the person you change must be someone who had a close relationship with Master Ling during his lifetime."

"Either she is a woman who is engaged, or she is a concubine who has always been favored."

"A random strange woman cannot satisfy Young Master Ling's wish, and the insemination ceremony cannot be completed."

After listening to what Master Cining said, Master Ning was in trouble.

"My son has always been clean and self-respecting. Apart from the marriage we have arranged for him, he has no concubines..."

"master!"

Mrs. Ning suddenly raised her head and walked quickly this way.

"There is another woman from Changping Village. Sir, have you forgotten?" Mrs. Ning asked.

Master Ning was startled for a moment and seemed to remember.

"That woman..." Mr. Ning hesitated, the look of embarrassment on his face became even worse.

Two days ago, without telling his son, he secretly sent the housekeeper to send fifty taels of silver and warned the banker not to bother him again.

In the blink of an eye, you go to ask other girls to match you?

Don't say that others will definitely ignore you, even I don't have the shame to say that!

"Yes, Dad, the girl named Xiaoyu in Changping Village is my brother's favorite woman. Shall we go and beg her?" Ning Su's eldest sister suggested.

This suggestion was immediately refuted.

"This is Qing'an County. It takes a day's journey to and from Changping Village. I can't make it in time!"

"Hey, our brother is so pitiful. He couldn't help himself when he was alive, and he can't rest in peace even when he's dead. Woo hoo hoo..." The sister who had the best relationship with Ning Su was the first to cry.

The other sisters also cried sadly, feeling sad and helpless.

Master Cining stood aside and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, looking helpless.

The sand in the hourglass was flowing continuously, and it was almost time to reach the hour.

The Ning family are all desperate.

However, at this moment, the housekeeper rushed to the backyard to report the news.

"Sir, madam, a woman came to the door. She announced her family name and said she was from Changping Village. She wanted to see the young master one last time."

Upon hearing this, the Ning family was shocked.

"A family name from Changping Village? Could it be...?"



In the mourning hall, when Xiao Yu, dressed in red makeup, stepped into the mourning hall step by step, the Ning family was shocked.

The woman in front of me is slender and has a pretty face.

Her pale and haggard face was set off by the fiery red wedding dress, which gave her a shocking beauty.

Not only the Ning family were dumbfounded, but also Yang Ruoqing who was following behind.

The light rain today is so beautiful!

"Brother Ning!"

Xiao Yu entered the mourning hall and saw the golden nanmu coffin with white silk tied in front of her eyes. Xiao Yu's feet froze.

"Brother Ning, Xiaoyu is here, Xiaoyu is here to accompany you!"

Then, a sad smile appeared on her lips, and she ran towards the coffin with her skirt in hand.

It's like running into the arms of happiness.

Someone wanted to stop him, but Mrs. Ning stopped him.
