Chapter 432 Obtaining Aunt Xun's Relics
Qin Beihuang was a little surprised to see her sad look.
"Can I see her?" Jiang Ningwan lowered her eyes and wiped away her tears.
"Of course, please." Qin Beihuang made a gesture of invitation.
The mourning hall was being set up. Jiang Ningwan came to the coffin and looked at Qin Suyi, who was already dressed neatly. She was wearing luxurious clothes and a complete set of hairpins and jewelry.
I don’t know if Qin Beihuang dressed so decently for others to see or because he felt guilty.
"When I rescued Suyi, she was not dead yet. She was still breathing and spoke to me."
Qin Beihuang suddenly became nervous, "What did she say?"
Jiang Ningwan turned her head and glanced at him, "She said that the person she's most worried about is her brother."
"He also told me that there is something I must give you."
Qin Beihuang quickly asked, "What is it?"
Seeing his nervous and anxious look, Jiang Ningwan said, "I can give it to you, but I have a condition."
“It was also their last wish.”
"Before she died, Madam Xun said that they should be buried in a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters."
"I'll choose the burial place. Pack up Madam Xun's belongings and give them to me so I can put them in her coffin."
"Bury them both near each other."
Hearing this, Qin Beihuang agreed readily.
"I know that Madam Xun was killed by the bandits because she was trying to save Suyi."
"The Dali Temple has told me that she was a loyal servant and had been with my mother for so many years. I will take care of her funeral. Although it won't be as grand as Su Yi's, I will bury them together as you requested."
Jiang Ningwan was anxious, she wanted Aunt Xun's belongings.
She said sternly, "This is what I promised them, I have to do it myself."
"Otherwise, I'll have a guilty conscience."
Hearing this, Qin Beihuang no longer refused. His mind was now full of what Qin Suyi had left for Jiang Ningwan?
"Well, Madam Xun's body is placed in the backyard. Since we have different social statuses, I can only take care of Su Yi's funeral first."
"If you are willing to help, you can take Madam Xun's body and belongings away first."
Jiang Ningwan nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."
Then Qin Beihuang took her to Nanny Xun's room in the backyard to pack up the relics.
Qin Beihuang said, "Madame Xun gave you a lot of trouble in the past, but you let it go."
Jiang Ningwan: "Why would I bother with a dead person?"
"Before she died, she begged me to help her. Since I promised, I can't go back on my word, otherwise I'm afraid she will come to me in the middle of the night."
Qin Beihuang believed Jiang Ningwan's words.
When he arrived at Nanny Xun's room, Qin Beihuang wanted to call a maid over, but no one came after he called for a long time.
"We're busy preparing for the funeral today, and we're overwhelmed with manpower."
Jiang Ningwan quickly said, "Then I'll collect it myself. Are all the things in this room Madam Xun's?"
Qin Beihuang nodded, "Yes."
"Then it's hard work for you."
Jiang Ningwan entered the room and began to pack up the belongings, taking out the clothes in the closet and the jewelry in the cabinet.
Qin Beihuang was helping out, so Jiang Ningwan had no chance to look for medicine. She simply packed up all her things and would look for them carefully when she got back.
"You don't have to pack so carefully, right?" Qin Beihuang was stunned. He thought she only needed to pack a few personal belongings, so why did she pack three big bags?
Jiang Ningwan said coldly, "How would I know what her most important things are? Just pack them all."
"Anyway, didn't you say that this room is full of her things?"
Qin Beihuang had no words to refute, "Yes...you are right."
So Jiang Ningwan took away all the dirty shoes she had worn, and took away everything that could be taken away from the entire room.
Jiang Ningwan carried several bags on her back and left the room. "I'll go back and find someone to bring the coffin. I'll tell you the burial location."
Qin Beihuang reached out and approached, "Do you want me to help you?"
"No need! I can do it myself."
Just as Jiang Ningwan was about to leave, Qin Beihuang stopped her again: "You haven't told me yet, what did Su Yi tell you?"
Jiang Ningwan was stunned and almost forgot about it.
She took out a box and handed it to Qin Beihuang. "Before she died, she asked me to dig out this money box. She said it contained three thousand taels of silver she had saved. You are the person she cared about most in this world, so she asked me to pass this money on to you."
When Qin Beihuang heard this, his face froze.
When I opened the box, I found silver coins, banknotes and a note inside.
His palms clenched slightly and he choked a little.
Jiang Ningwan looked at his reaction and felt a little guilty, hoping that he was not pretending.
It was all his fault that Qin Suyi became like this. If he had any conscience, he would feel guilty to death.
After giving the things, Jiang Ningwan took Nanny Xun's belongings and left directly through the back door.
He quickly returned to the Prince of Chu's Palace with the relics.
Let Xiao Lan take people to take away Nanny Xun's coffin and leave the city directly.
The reason for burying Aunt Xun was just to get these relics. If Aunt Xun's coffin was really brought back.
Within half a day, rumors began to spread again.
After all, what relationship could she have with the nanny in Prince Yi's Mansion?
Rather than causing speculation and misunderstanding, it is better to transport it out of the city directly.
Then she opened the things in the yard and asked Lichun to look for them together.
Found several bottles and jars.
The only bottle containing pills was also found.
As soon as it was opened, a strong medicinal smell came out, which was very pungent.
"This should be it."
"I'm going to Huichun Hall. Lichun, find someone to sort these things out and send them to Xiao Lan to put in Madam Xun's coffin."
Li Chun responded: "Yes!"
Jiang Ningwan rushed to Huichuntang with the medicine and poured out the pills. "Doctor Hong, please help me research what medicinal ingredients these pills are made of and whether they contain any toxins."
Doctor Hong picked up the pill and sniffed it. "This pill has a very strong medicinal smell. I can't tell if it's poisonous. It'll take some time."
Jiang Ningwan nodded, "No rush."
While Doctor Hong was studying the pills, Jiang Ningwan took out a map, selected a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and good feng shui, and sent someone to deliver it to Qin Beihuang.
Xiao Lan took Matron Xun's body and went there first.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Ningwan led his men out of the city and arrived at Shili Lake.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Qin Shuangchi brought people here to meet her.
Then they rushed to Dusk Ridge together.
In the eyes of the emperor, Jiang Ningwan hated Qin Shuangchi, so the two of them rarely acted together openly.
Try to act unfamiliar in front of others.
After a day's journey, they arrived at Dusk Ridge in the evening.
The mountain road was washed away by rain many years ago, so the way up the mountain is very difficult to walk.
It was almost midnight when we found the temple in the mountains.
Dark clouds pressed down overhead, and the only thing that caught my eye was a ray of light in the clouds. It was like being in a thick ink, pitch black.
The temple is very large, and one can still vaguely see its former grandeur, but now it has fallen into disrepair and is dilapidated and deserted.
I knocked on the paint-chipped door, and soon a monk came to open it, holding a lantern in his hand, and his monk's robe was so worn that it had turned white.
The monk looked them over and asked, "Who are the donors?"
There are so many people here in the middle of the night, it seems like they are here with bad intentions.
Jiang Ning explained kindly before the evening: "We are from Prince Yi's Mansion, and the medicine that the princess took before is almost used up."
Hearing this, the other party was a little surprised, "I haven't seen you before."
