Chapter 365: Lan Shenglian
Chapter 365: Lan Shenglian
A pair of boots walked up to Zhi Linglan and looked at her as if she were a dead person.
At this moment, Xia Zuoxiang really wanted to kill the person in front of him, but fortunately he still had a bit of rationality and wanted to leave the person to Ning Bao.
Otherwise, he was worried that his sister would never get over this and would live the rest of her life with guilt.
"Princess Dongli, huh? Do you know this is in Nanxu?
Humph~~~ Do you think you can do whatever you want and take people's lives just because you are a princess?
If I hadn't let you live a few more days, you would have been thrown into a mass grave by now to be fed to dogs."
Feeling his coldness, Zhi Linglan couldn't help but shiver and began to shrink.
At that moment, she really felt that the person in front of her wanted to kill her.
How dare Nan Xu do that? How dare someone treat her like this? Was it just because of Xia Yining?
She stepped back a few steps and shouted frantically, "No, no, you dare not touch this princess, otherwise my father will send troops to attack Nanxu.
By then all your people will die and become fertilizer for the Dongli poisonous insects, nourishing them to grow slowly.
Then Dongli will attack the Northern Dynasty and Western Shu, and they will all become our vassal states, and they will pay tribute to Dongli every year."
Xia Zuoxiang sneered: "You guys think too much, you not only want Nanxu, but also the other two countries, doesn't that mean the whole world belongs to you?
If this is true, what way do the people have left to survive? They should just die right here, so you don’t have to work too hard.”
The sarcasm in his words was undisguised, and the look he gave her was naked disgust.
"Since Princess Dongli is so ambitious, you should live longer. When my sister returns to the capital, I will bring you home personally.
Then we will see whether you are more important or Dongli is more important."
Not wanting to talk to him anymore, Xia Zuoxiang shook his sleeves and said politely to the others, "The new emperor has ordered that you all treat the guests from Dongli well. You must not die."
When everyone heard that there was nothing they didn't understand, they quickly promised to complete the task and let him rest assured.
Before leaving, Xia Zuoxiang took advantage of the cover of his clothes to stuff a red envelope into the hands of the executioner.
Those people touched the thin sheet, and their smiles became even brighter. They hurriedly greeted, "Brothers, come and serve Princess Dongli and the Saintess well. After the shift, we will have good wine and good food."
The saint girl Zhi Guci, who was lying next to her, felt pain all over her bones. She sat up in horror and shrank into the corner of the wall.
All the little things in her body were dead, and now she was like a piece of fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Seeing the figure so close to her, her eyes turned gray.
The entire cell was filled with all kinds of terrified screams and soul-stirring cries of pain. For the people of Dongli, today was their nightmare.
As for how many people regretted and should have stopped Princess Dongli from hurting Mrs. He, it is unknown.
Let’s talk about the group of people who escorted the coffin back to the village.
Because the news of the death of the eldest princess's adoptive parents had already spread throughout the country, they would meet people burning paper money as they passed by along the way.
Every time Xia Yining saw him, he would kneel down and return the greeting with his family.
The journey was particularly smooth, and no one was blind enough to cause trouble. The closer they got to Changle Town, the more uncomfortable Xia Yining felt.
This was the first place she came to when she opened her eyes, and lying behind her were the first family members she saw.
She was flustered when she came to Nanxu. After all, it was her first time traveling through time and she had no experience. Besides, she was just a child of a few years old and had no documents to prove herself.
You can be kidnapped by human traffickers or bad guys just walking on the street.
The He family was the family she personally selected.
She was also well taken care of in the village and lived a very happy life.
Xia Yining recalled all these things in her mind: He Pozi sewed clothes for her, patted her on the back to put her to sleep at night, and kept all the good things in the house for her.
There was also Old Man He who happily went to Uncle He's house to borrow eggs, and steamed delicious egg custard for her every day.
From then on, she could never taste that flavor again.
She was shrouded in such great sadness that the people behind her did not dare to disturb her and just stood quietly behind her to accompany her.
Yan'er even reached out her hand to touch the coffin and whispered, "Sister He, look at Ning'er, she is really sad.
Many times, I was worried that she would become depressed and want to follow you.
If the elder brother and sister see this, please drag Meng Ning'er and let her see you again and make up for the words she didn't have time to say.
I believe you will be very happy to hear this, right? "
She lowered her voice and muttered beside the coffin, which made everyone feel uncomfortable. He Lao Da's wife even covered her mouth and cried bitterly.
When she married into the He family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were very kind to her. She always felt that she was extremely blessed to have met such a good in-law family.
Now that she was returning to her hometown again, she was actually sending them back to their roots. She felt very sad.
The people in Xiaotian Village received the news early, and when they saw them coming back, many elderly people in the village felt their eyes sore and tears fell.
The head of the village walked to the front and bowed, and everyone returned the greeting.
Then he was seen walking in front, scattering paper money and shouting, "He Tiandi and Lan Shenglian are back home."
Hearing the last name, Xia Yining was stunned and kept repeating: "Lan Shenglian, Lan Shenglian, Lan Shenglian is such a nice name."
It was the first time she heard her mother's name, and it felt extremely cultured, not something an ordinary family would give to their daughter.
He Lao Da and He Xinglang behind him were also stunned. They hadn't heard their mother's name for a long time.
Only when I was a child, my father would sometimes call me Lian'er or Shenglian.
When they got older, people in the village called them the He family, Sister He, and Mrs. He.
I don’t know when it started, but I stopped calling my mother Lan Shenglian.
The group followed Li Zheng towards the village. As they got closer, they saw Uncle He and Zhang supporting each other on the side of the road.
Looking at the three brothers and sisters walking in front, all of them had pale faces and were in a mess, you could tell that this journey was very hard.
Although he felt sad, he still said, "Go home first, have a good rest and eat something first."
The rest of the people moved aside to let them pass. The old couple came to the front of the car and touched the coffin while trembling.
Uncle He: "You are a passionate man. You just follow your wife. You are really good. You are a man of courage."
Zhang: "You have been impatient since you were young, and now you are walking ahead of me, so walk slowly and don't be impatient.
Wait, your elder brother and I will still be a family, and your sister-in-law will still be a sister and take care of you.
Sheng Lian, please walk slower."
