Chapter 117: dream and reality
Chapter 117 Dream and Reality
Ningxi returned to the Millennium Courtyard, and heard from Luzhu that Lin Yonghe hadn't come back yet, she thought to herself, fortunately she wasn't here, if she caught her coming back so late, she would have to be punished again.
This night, Ning Xi had a long dream.
She dreamed that summer was coming, she was wearing a big red wedding dress, sitting in a big red sedan chair, and was taken to the palace by Xuan Yu. Xuan Yu was very gentle, holding her hand all the time, Baitang never let go.
There were many guests, and they all praised Xuan Yu for marrying the most beautiful and virtuous wife in Xiliang.
Xuanyin was also there, saluting happily, calling her sister-in-law, and giving her a house of gold.
She happily accepted it.
When returning to the room, Xuan Yin quietly called her to stop, and said with hurt eyes: "Actually... I like you. On the day of the next appointment, ten dan gold was originally going to be given to you..."
She was so excited!
"Will you protect me?" She held Xuan Yin's hand and asked, "If Ning Yue bullies me..."
Xuanyin said affectionately: "I will not let anyone bully you, not even Ning Yue, she must serve you tea and kowtow to apologize every day, otherwise, I will divorce her!"
She is very satisfied, from now on, she can walk sideways in the palace!
Back to the new house, Xuan Yu has already poured a glass of wine and is waiting for her. After tonight, she and Xuan Yu will be a real husband and wife!
However, Ning Xi didn't wait until the moment when the bridal chamber was celebrated, when she was awakened by a thrilling scream.
"Second Miss! Second Miss! Something has happened!" Cuilan opened the curtain and came in with a panicked expression.
The dream was interrupted, Ning Xi held back his anger, and shouted angrily: "What's wrong? It's early in the morning, there are no rules!"
Cuilan's face turned pale with fright: "Second miss, the lotus pond... There's a big accident at the lotus pond, everyone has passed away..."
There is only one lotus pond in the General's Mansion, which is the one near the Wintersweet Garden. Of course Ning Xi knew what happened to the lotus pond, but she still pretended to be very surprised, and watched the excitement with Cuilan.
The second and third wives had already arrived, and they were surrounded by a group of maids and wives. Their faces were not very good-looking. Ning Zhen and Ning Wan had also come, but they were sent back immediately by their respective mothers.
Ning Xi walked up to the two wives, and asked with a very frightened look, "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, what happened?"
The second lady didn't bother to talk to her, but she still put on the airs of an elder and said indifferently: "I'm dead."
Ning Xi said softly: "Oh, the maid in whose house? It's so pitiful that she fell into the lotus pond in winter."
"Maid?" The second lady raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, "Who told you that it was the maid who died?"
Ningxi's heart skipped a beat, but before he realized what was going on, Mother Lin took off the linen gloves and came over: "Second Madam, I found out, she's the jade lady from the Millennium Court!"
Isn't Pozi Yu the rough servant who helped her teach Ning Yue a lesson last night? How could it be her? What about Qiuxiang? Obviously it was Qiuxiang who fell into the water—
Ning Xi's hand holding the handkerchief was clenched instantly.
Second Wife Quan Dang was terrified, frowned, and said, "Where's your mother? Such a big incident happened, why don't you see her?"
When she went back to the house last night, her mother hadn't come back yet. She left in a hurry this morning and didn't see her mother. It stands to reason that even she was shocked by such a big incident, her mother has no reason not to know—
One unexpected thing after another made Ning Xi feel uneasy.
At this moment, Fen'er who was beside the second lady hurried over: "Ma'am! There are people in the back mountain... There are people in the back mountain!"
This person is undoubtedly Ma Ningyue. Ning Xi's gloomy heart brightened up again. It doesn't matter if Madam Yu is dead, and it doesn't matter if Qiu Xiang is gone. As long as Ma Ningyue suffers, she will be happy!
The second lady left two servants to guard the body of Mrs. Yu, and took Mama Lin and her party to the back mountain.
Ning Xi and the third lady followed behind.
Along the way, Ning Xi seemed to be terribly frightened, and held the third lady's arm, unable to twitch.
Because of the cold weather, the stinking ditch has been frozen over, and the second lady saw a person frozen there from a distance, with the bones of his hand crooked into a strange shape, it should be broken, and his face was dirty. There is a three-inch **** on the right cheek, which almost cuts the corner of the mouth. The wound was black, coagulated with blood and silt, and it was completely swollen.
The second lady just glanced at it, and then felt chills and weak legs.
Not to mention the third lady, she screamed and turned her back.
Even Ning Xi was severely shocked. It was too dark at night, so I didn't see it too clearly. Now that I saw it, I knew that Mrs. Yu's attack was not as ruthless as her hand was broken as if only a layer of skin was left. I can't pick it up no matter what. Of course, her hairpin was scratched hard enough, no matter how sincerely Duke Ren Yin was, he wouldn't be able to eat with this face.
"Ah, second lady, isn't that the third lady's cloak?" Mama Lin recognized Ning Yue's clothes.
The second wife suddenly changed color: "Ah? Yue'er? Quick! Hurry up and rescue the third lady!"
"Yes!" Mother Lin picked up a shovel and went to the stinking ditch. The ice on the lake was not thick, but in order not to hurt the master, Mother Lin shoveled extra carefully. When she finally carried the frozen ice statue ashore At that moment, the eyeballs almost fell off, "Four...Four Madam?"
Ning Xi's face turned pale, she stumbled and ran over, and threw Mama Lin away.
Boom!
Without support, Lin Yonghe fell to the ground in a daze.
Ning Xi brushed aside the messy hair on her face, and unbuttoned her jacket. Seeing the familiar pattern, her mind went blank.
How could this be?
Under her nose, people who were beaten into cripples, people whose appearance was ruined by her, people who cried so hard but couldn't even beg for mercy... It wasn't Ma Ningyue, it was her mother.
