Chapter 131: The Cause Of The Host’s Death
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone in the old residence was selfish and greedy. When had they ever cared about the life and death of their family?
They were lazy, greedy, cold, and selfish. As long as there was any benefit, they would immediately disregard everyone. They could be considered to be profit-driven and would do anything.
As long as her family did not have any means to protect themselves, what would happen to them when Wang Biao from the Heavenly Fragrance Restaurant came? What would happen when the Ruyi bun’s secret seasoning recipe was targeted? If she had not transmigrated, would the severely injured Ning Fengnian still be alive?
In order to make Second Aunt stay at home obediently and not come out to gossip, Xiaoxiao felt that she was already too kind.
Second Aunt Ning’s loud voice attracted the attention of the villagers. Xiaoxiao found an opportunity to put the animal trap on Second Aunt’s ankle into her space and quietly hid herself. Hence, when the villagers rushed over, they only saw Second Aunt Ning rolling on the ground alone.
Second Aunt Ning insisted that she had seen a ghost, but the villagers only wondered why she didn’t go home at night and went crazy at the foot of the mountain. As for the wet marks on her skirt and pants… There was no water source nearby. Everyone exchanged looks and thought that Second Aunt Ning was so frightened that her pants were wet.
Second Aunt Ning stammered and said that she was here to look for the things she had left behind during the day. Then, she was in a daze with a pale face. She looked like she was really frightened.
Her legs were so weak that she couldn’t walk on her own. The villagers despised the wet marks on her pants, so they got someone to fetch Second Uncle Ning to get her home. When there was no one around, she nervously whispered into Second Uncle Ning’s ear, “I saw a ghost. It’s true. Don’t doubt me.”
Second Uncle Ning pushed her swollen and ugly face away. “Tell me first, what are you doing in this pit again?”
Second Aunt Ning stammered, “1 saw that girl from the eldest branch drop her silver there during the day…”
Second Uncle Ning sneered. “You specially came alone to hide it, right?”
He was right. Second Aunt Ning didn’t tell them because she wanted to hide it as her private money, but this wasn’t important now. “Dear, listen to me. That ghost deliberately splashed water on me and left me in the forest and didn’t let me go. Isn’t this the same as when we tricked that wild girl Ning Xiaoxiao into the forest…”
Second Uncle Ning had done many bad things, so his mental fortitude was better than his wife’s. “So what? Isn’t Ning Xiaoxiao alive and well?”
Second Aunt Ning recalled how abnormal she was when she fought with Xiaoxiao alone. “I think that girl is a little strange when she wakes up. Do you think she’ll be possessed and come to take revenge on me? Boss, you can’t ignore me. You and Mother asked me to kill that girl…”
Second Uncle Ning suddenly turned around with a ferocious expression. “Shut up! Don’t mention this again!” He looked around and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was around. “If anyone finds out, I’ll be the first to kill you!”
Second Aunt Ning only dared to be unreasonable outside. Knowing Second Uncle Ning’s true colors, she didn’t dare to say a word and lowered her head obediently. Second Uncle Ning took two steps outside before retreating. “Is there really money?”
The two of them returned to the original spot and searched for a long time. Of course, they returned empty-handed in the end. They didn’t even see anything, let alone silver.
Second Aunt Ning was even more frightened, but Second Uncle Ning concluded disdainfully that she had just been bitten by some beast.
After they left, Xiaoxiao flashed out of the space. She had heard their conversation clearly in the space just now. From the looks of it, the space still had the convenience of eavesdropping. It was really a waste to only use it to hide from bees in the past.
Teasing Second Aunt Ning made her discover a big secret about the cause of the original host’s death.. However, why did Old Madam Ning want to kill Ning Xiaoxiao? Even if she wasn’t her biological granddaughter, it shouldn’t be to the extent of taking her life, right?
