She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 344 - 343: Terrifying Story, Song Ning’s Resurrection
Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Terrifying Story, Song Ning’s Resurrection
Yan Wanqing was but someone who had survived the chaos of the Capital City, and while people saw her family relocating away from the capital, they never truly knew why she left...
Like Chen Wei and his son, many were plotting over the gold mines and wealth in Yan Wanqing’s possession, yet most of them were merely watching and waiting.
The idea of laying hands on the Commandery Princess’s younger sister was something they didn’t even dare to imagine.
Thus, the downfall of the City Lord Residence could be said to be a consequence of their own actions.
The poor lady of the City Lord feigned unconsciousness, but when she woke, her husband was dead, and she along with her belongings, was driven out of the City Lord Residence.
Looking at the seal plastered on the door, the City Lord’s wife truly fainted this time.
After a bath at home and consuming a good amount of medicine, Yan Lingzhen finally took care of all her wounds, big and small, and then fell into a deep sleep.
From the beginning to the end, Yan Wanqing never left her side even half a step. Looking at Xiaoliu’s sleeping face, and her hand tightly grasping her own, her heart felt very uncomfortable.
"Did the Golden Red Feather come back?" she asked softly to Cong Ge.
Cong Ge nodded his head, "It’s in the residence."
"Go pick a petal and put it in the porridge that’s being prepared for Xiaoliu."
If Yan Lingzhen were awake at this moment, she would surely scream to stop it.
That was the Golden Red Feather, she nearly lost her life for that flower!
And her sister was actually so extravagant as to put it in her porridge!
"Add some honey too, Xiaoliu likes sweet things," Yan Wanqing suddenly remembered and instructed.
Cong Ge laughed after hearing this, "Miss treats Miss Liu so well."
Ever since the time she recovered from her cold, the Miss had changed a lot. Before, she never showed her emotions, but now she laughs, cries, and feels pain, living more like a real person.
Such a good thing.
Cong Ge went out to instruct the kitchen to cook porridge, and Yan Wanqing stayed in the room all the while.
However, it wasn’t long before a maid came in to report that Huai Yu had arrived.
Upon receiving the news, she hurried over to see the situation.
Yan Wanqing gently placed Yan Lingzhen’s hand back under the covers, had the maids bring more ice into the room, and then she went out.
By this time, Huai Yu was already waiting in the courtyard.
Seeing Yan Wanqing coming out, she hurried forward, her face pale and eyes rimmed with blue, the entire person looking extremely fatigued.
"How is Xiaoliu?"
Yan Wanqing shook her head, "She just fell asleep."
"I should have been by your side in such a situation, I..." Huai Yu’s voice trailed off, weighed down by a sense of guilt.
"Everything has already been resolved," Yan Wanqing said as she stepped forward and pressed on her shoulder, "Don’t worry."
Having heard that it was all resolved, Huai Yu’s entire body relaxed, and she covered her face with her hands, dropping down to the ground.
"Huai Yu..." Yan Wanqing crouched down beside her.
"I need a moment... too much has happened these past few days," said Huai Yu, her voice tired. She buried her head in her knees, her whole body starting to tremble.
Yan Wanqing kept her company in silence.
After quite a while, Huai Yu finally regained her composure.
She looked up, staring blankly at Yan Wanqing, "Wanqing... listen to me, leave the Northern Border."
Yan Wanqing furrowed her brows.
"It’s too chaotic here, Chen Wei and his son are just the tip of the iceberg. Xiaoliu has already faced such danger, if you stay on, I truly fear for you..."
"Xiaoliu’s case was an accident, you can’t think like that," Yan Wanqing grasped her hand.
To be honest, Yan Wanqing didn’t quite understand why Huai Yu always insisted on her leaving the Northern Border.
As if the Northern Border was such a dangerous place for her.
"The entire Stormy Building bows to me, and no matter how sinister the Northern Border is, what can it possibly do to me? Huai Yu, tell me, what exactly are you afraid of??"
Huai Yu opened her mouth, but all the words were stuck in her throat. She stared blankly at Yan Wanqing.
"Can’t you just take my advice for once?! Stop being so arrogant, Yan Wanqing!" She suddenly pushed Yan Wanqing’s hand away with force.
Then she stood up on her own.
"...Huai Yu." Yan Wanqing was slightly taken aback, not expecting Huai Yu’s emotions to suddenly collapse.
In her memory, Huai Yu was always stable and had always been a gentle girl.
What had Huai Yu endured during her time in the Northern Border?
"Please, just consider it a pleading request from me—take Xiaoliu and leave the Northern Border! Here is the document for the annulment of our engagement; I’ve prepared everything. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other!" Huai Yu suddenly pulled out a document from her bosom and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.
Then she left the courtyard without looking back.
Yan Wanqing walked to the stone table, picked up the document, her face turning cold as ice.
"Miss..." Shen Shuyun didn’t know when she arrived by her side, but she had seen and heard everything that just happened.
She didn’t understand why Huai Yu, the Young Marquis, who was treated so well by Yan Wanqing, would be so ungrateful.
Yan Wanqing looked at her and hummed, "You heard all that?"
"I didn’t mean to overhear..." Shen Shuyun hurriedly waved her hands.
Yan Wanqing was expressionless: "Tell me what you think."
Shen Shuyun stuck out her tongue a bit awkwardly.
"...Actually, I think you don’t have to force yourself on the Young Marquis, who clearly isn’t interested. The Marquis Residence isn’t exactly a fine place, and Madam Wu is so arrogant and unreasonable. Miss, with your looks and wealth, you could find a far better husband anywhere. Why must it be him?"
"Is that all?" Yan Wanqing carefully folded the document and slipped it into her sleeve.
Shen Shuyun thought back on Huai Yu’s expression and words and felt that things weren’t that simple.
"I have another feeling."
"Speak."
"The Young Marquis seems to be hiding something from you. When we first arrived at the Northern Border, he didn’t have this attitude. A person doesn’t just explode out of nowhere; there has to be a reason," Shen Shuyun said, calming herself down and speaking slowly.
Yan Wanqing glanced at her, thinking she wasn’t too dull after all.
"What you mentioned just now are superficial issues. Now we’re getting to the heart of the matter. Huai Yu must be keeping something from me and doesn’t want me to know. The reason he wants me to leave the Northern Border is that he hopes to keep me away from danger." The idiot, wearing all his emotions on his face, still insists on uttering such heartless words.
Yan Wanqing felt a tight squeeze in her heart.
What on earth could it be?
She needed to have someone look into it.
"Has there been any news from the Angel Envoy recently?"
She asked.
No sooner had she mentioned this than Shen Shuyun quickly got serious. She had come in such a rush because she wanted to report this matter: "Reporting to miss, I have made contact with the Angel Envoy."
"That fast?"
"He found me," Shen Shuyun touched the back of her head. "I went out to purchase some items, and then he came looking for me, saying that Song Huaxu has been trying to find me, wanting me to return to the Divine Church of Light."
"And the Angel Envoy also brought some very strange news."
Shen Shuyun licked her lips nervously: "Miss, you would never guess."
"What?"
"Song Ning is resurrected!" Shen Shuyun felt that saying these words herself sounded like a ghost story.
A woman who had been dead for over twenty years had suddenly come back to life in an ice coffin!
How could anyone not find that eerie and bizarre?
