Chapter 240 Death of Cousin (3)
Chapter 240 Death of Cousin (3)
After being busy for a while, when the cock crowed and the sky was bright, Ning Ning suddenly discovered something. She picked up something and put it in her arms. She stopped a servant and gave him a few instructions, then turned around and ran away.
The system wondered, "What are you in such a hurry for?"
I hurried to the main hall and saw Song Wenjie was already there, with his eyes lowered, looking as if he had lost all hope in life.
I didn't have time last night, so now I take a closer look at him. I see that he is thin and handsome, and judging from his looks, he is a good match for Ning Wan'er.
At this time, Liao Ji also arrived, bowed to Ning Shen and said, "I have already chanted sutras for the young lady to pray for her soul to be reborn. Is there anything else you want, sir?"
Xiaojuan also came in, "Master, what did you call me for?"
Ning Shen was stunned and looked at the two of them, "When did I call you here?"
"Oh, I asked my servants to call them here. Now that everyone is here, we can talk about the truth."
Ning Shen stared at Ning Ning, "A Ning, it's not your turn to give orders in my family! And what's the truth? Isn't it all clear now?"
Ning Ning, "I'm not here to give orders, I'm just doing my part."
He walked closer to Song Wenjie. "Mr. Song, you said you killed Ning Wan'er. Then tell me, what was she wearing when she died? What did she knock over when she struggled? And when did you kill her?"
Song Wenjie was speechless, with sweat on his forehead.
"Mr. Song, I understand that you are afraid that Ning Wan'er's reputation will be damaged if the incident is made public, so you took the blame. But don't you think about whether Ning Wan'er will blame you if her injustice is not redressed?"
"This……"
Song Wenjie was speechless.
Ning Shen frowned, "What do you mean? You said he's not the murderer, who else could it be?"
Ning Ning said slowly, "Then I have to ask you, uncle. Wan'er left after paying her respects in the morning, and we learned that she was murdered at noon. There were several hours in between, but when you heard that she was in trouble, you said that she had just paid her respects when the accident happened. Can't you tell the time? Most people would be heartbroken when they found out that their own daughter was dead, but you were able to immediately think of using incense ash to infer the time of her death. I'm afraid this was already in your plan? You kept wiping your hands because strangling Ning Wan'er must have physical contact, which made your mysophobia so severe."
Ning Shen was so angry that his whole body was shaking, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"
Ning Ning ignored him. "The truth is that you knew Ning Wan'er would burn incense wherever she went, so after sneaking into the garden and killing her, you deliberately pushed over the incense burner to make it look like she had knocked it over while struggling. In fact, you scattered the incense ash elsewhere to reduce the amount of incense ash, just to make others think that she died an hour after paying respects. And you were listening to Le Ji's teachings at that time, so there was no way they would suspect you. You deliberately mentioned Ning Wan'er's reputation to Song Wenjie because you knew that he loved Ning Wan'er deeply and couldn't bear to see her humiliated, so he would definitely admit the crime. And if he doesn't admit it, you can also use the power of the prefect to force him to admit it."
Ning Shen's chest rose and fell, and he sneered, "Then tell me why I killed my own daughter?"
Ning Ning sneered, "Then you have to ask her."
He suddenly drew his sword and pointed it at Xiao Juan in a grim tone, "You girl, you dare to betray your master. If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you immediately!"
Xiaojuan has been working in the prefect's household. Everyone she has met is polite and respectful. She has never seen such a decisive and murderous aura.
She was so frightened that she was shaking uncontrollably, and looked at Ning Shen for help.
But Ning Ning moved a step to block her sight, and pressed the sword down. The tip of the sword cut her skin, and blood splattered everywhere.
She felt the pain and fell to her knees with a thump. "Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything! When the young lady came to pay her respects, it was the master who told her to wait alone in the pavilion. He had something to say. It was also the master who monitored your whereabouts and asked me to burn paper for the young lady. He deliberately said those words and put the blame on Young Master Song. I dare not disobey the master's orders. I'm afraid, woo woo..."
Ning Ning turned around and looked at Ning Shen coldly, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Ning Shen slumped in his chair, "There's nothing much to say, don't you all know it?"
He said that after Ning Wan'er was insulted, he had no choice but to go to Song Wenjie to discuss the marriage.
Unexpectedly, Song Wenjie was shocked when he heard this, and said that he had never received the note and had not gone to the appointment, let alone done such a thing to Ning Waner!
There is someone else who bullied Ning Waner!
This news was like a thunderclap, making Ning Wan'er feel heartbroken.
It was dark at the time, and Xiaojuan and Ning Wan'er couldn't see the person's face clearly, so they had no way to find him.
However, Song Wenjie was indeed deeply in love with her. After hesitating for a few days in agony, he finally decided to marry her.
But all these twists and turns have made Ning Shen feel that Ning Wan'er does not deserve to live in this world.
He had already hinted that Ning Wan'er should die, but when Ning Wan'er heard that her lover was still willing to marry her, her desire to live overwhelmed everything, making Ning Shen extremely disappointed and disgusted.
"This little bitch lost her virginity before marriage, and she plans to marry someone with her broken body, which brings shame to my Ning family! Even if Mr. Song wants her, I will never be able to hold my head up in front of him. She is filthy and dirty, so she must die! And Mr. Song, if he knows this private matter, he will also be buried with her!"
Ning Shen's teeth were chattering, and there was no trace of his usual elegance.
Ning Ning looked at him with disdain, "Have you never thought about finding the real murderer who bullied your daughter?"
"How else can I find one? I can't do it in a big way, right? There's no other man in the family."
Ning Ning turned her head and her eyes slowly fell on Ji, "Is there really no other man?"
Liao Ji's hands trembled slightly as he twisted the Buddhist beads. "Donor, what do you mean by this?"
Ning Ning took something out of her bosom and put it on the table. "I just found this in the garden. Why did you go there, Master?"
What he placed on the table was a Buddhist bead.
"Xiaojuan said that Ning Wan'er struggled hard when she was humiliated, so I wanted to go to the garden to look for anything dropped by the murderer, and I found this. When we talk about outsiders, we always ignore monks and forget that monks are also men. If you don't admit it, please take off your shirt and let us see if there are any scars left by Ning Wan'er's struggle."
Ning Ning tried to approach him, but Le Ji pushed him away, sweating profusely. He said like a madman, "She seduced me. She is so beautiful, and she comes to listen to my lectures every day. She also smiles at me shamelessly. If this isn't seduction, what else could it be? She dared to disrupt my celibacy, she deserves to be punished! Song Wenjie can have a secret meeting with her, so why can't I? I followed that girl, stole the note, and went to the appointment for Song Wenjie. Haha, it's ridiculous that Song Wenjie took the blame for nothing."
Song Wenjie's eyes were red, and he rushed over and wrestled with Le Ji.
In the usually quiet and solemn hall of the prefectural government, some people were crying, some were making noise, some were shouting, and some were laughing.
What a chaotic scene in the world! It's so sad, lamentable, hateful and ridiculous!
