Chapter 252: Ningyuan Marquis Mansion Ends
Chapter 252: Ningyuan Marquis Mansion Ends
His eldest son betrayed the Lang family, his own father and grandfather, personally sent them to jail, and then committed suicide in front of them to apologize!
He couldn't understand why this happened!
A mouthful of blood spurted out and Lang Huan fell straight down. Lang Yan looked at this and that, and finally his eyes fell on his father and smiled!
"Father! Did you see that? This is the end of our Lang family."
Lang Zhengde's eyes were filled with turbid tears, and his waist was hunched deeply, like a lifeless corpse. He had thought of a thousand and ten thousand possible endings for the Duan family, but he had never thought of this one.
The eldest grandson he had tried so hard to protect, the one he had placed all his hopes on! To think that this was the way to end everything for the Lang family!
Was he wrong? Or had he protected Lang Qingmian too well, causing him to have a pure and kind heart?
"Lang Qingmian! You're braver than your second uncle! I surrender to you! I admire you!"
Lang Yan smiled, tears rolling down his face. He also had a rebellious heart, opposing everything his father did, but he did not take any action. He did not have the courage. He was afraid and greedy, afraid of his father's authority and greedy for everything his father said.
He is the most spineless one in the Lang family! Even the teenage Lang Qingmian is inferior to him.
"Father, look at him! He's so strong and powerful! Doesn't he look a lot like my sister-in-law?"
Lang Yan smiled, and the shadow of that person seemed to appear before his eyes! She smiled charmingly, and when she turned around, she looked very charming.
When the Lang Huan brothers met her, they both fell deeply in love with her! But in the end, she married her brother and became his sister-in-law.
He buried all his feelings deep in his heart until she died.
Lang Qingmian was her only child. She was a descendant of the crown prince of the previous dynasty. When Murong Yan approached her, she strongly opposed what he was going to do. She even committed suicide to show her determination, leaving Lang Qingmian, who was less than a year old, behind and hanging herself.
Lang Zhengde was tempted and hit it off with Murong Yan. He was in the open while Lang Zhengde was in the dark. From the deployment of troops in Daqi to the infiltration of the court and so on, Murong Yan was able to slowly expand from the northwest and fight all the way to the capital.
The Lang family is on a road of no return, but also a road to prosperity.
The rebels were defeated, and it was originally thought that everything the Lang family had done would not be known to the world, but because of a woman, a corner of the matter was revealed.
Moreover, because of Lang Qingmian's pure kindness, they were sent to a dead end.
The jailer quickly dragged Lang Qingmian's body away.
"wait wait wait……"
Lang Zhengde straightened his back and asked, "Where are you taking my grandson?"
The jailer replied, "The emperor has ordered that he be buried with his mother. Naturally, he will be taken back to your Lang family to arrange his funeral!"
Upon hearing this, Lang Yan immediately rushed to the door, kowtowed and shouted.
"Sir! Please tell the Emperor to let me bury him! Please, Emperor!"
The jailer did not answer him, only his voice echoed in the prison.
Lang Yan fell to the ground weakly, and the last bit of hope in his heart gradually disappeared.
"I can't believe... you still have such thoughts!"
Lang Huan was still lying on the ground, staring upwards with lifeless eyes, making sarcastic remarks.
"Heh...how ironic!"
Lang Yan ignored his words. He wanted to bury Lang Qingmian just to take one last look at her.
People! Once there is a white moonlight in their hearts, everyone they meet in the future becomes a compromise. And Lang Yan, no matter whether he marries a wife or a concubine, every woman he finds is a bit like that person! There is her shadow.
Lang Huan didn’t know before, but now he knows!
Not long after, the jailer arrived, "Lang Yan, come out! The emperor has approved it!"
Lang Yan was overjoyed and hurried out with the jailer.
The women of the Lang family still don’t know what crime they committed.
Lang Yan was accompanied by the eunuch who announced the imperial edict.
Lang Zhengde and his two sons colluded with the rebels and were sentenced to death. The crime was too serious. Although the women in his family were unaware of it, they were spared the death penalty, they were still exiled to Tengzhou. The imperial edict did not disclose Lang Qingmian's identity, which was his own request.
At the same time, the Royal Guards finally arrived at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.
When the imperial guards broke down the door of the study, they discovered that Lin Chong had committed suicide out of fear of punishment. On the table was a confession letter and a letter severing the relationship with Lin Yue.
In his confession, Lin Chong clearly explained the crimes he had committed and also listed the names of the people involved.
It also states that none of the family members knew about it.
Regardless of whether he was the one who sheltered Lin Ping and Lin Qing, they were both arrested and imprisoned. Whether they knew about it or not was not up to Lin Chong to decide; the case still had to be reviewed by the higher authorities before a final decision could be made.
The letter of severance also explained Lin Yue's life experience, which caused a small discussion.
I originally thought that the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion was protected by Lin Yue, the Princess of the Southwest. I didn't expect that Lin Yue was not of the Lin family's blood, but an adopted daughter. Moreover, her status in the Lin family and the fact that she had been tortured and framed by the Lang mother and daughter led to her disappearance for several years.
When she saw this letter of severance, she felt very complicated!
I felt relieved for the original owner, but also a little sentimental.
Finally, after investigation, it was found that Lin Ping and Lin Qing were indeed unaware of the incident, so they were acquitted. However, their mansions and public property were confiscated, their titles were revoked, and Lin Ping was demoted to a minor figure in the academy who managed the book collection.
All this happened after Ye Yin and Gao Changjun had a conversation. Lin Ping and Lin Qing were indeed not involved. Lin Chong did not tell his two sons about everything, which indirectly saved them.
At one time, more than a dozen people were implicated in the Lang family case. If it weren't for Lang Zhengde's confession, these people would have been safe and sound! Unexpectedly, they were finally caught!
Three days later, the case came to an end. All those involved were beheaded in public. Only those who knew about the case were involved, and those who had committed less serious crimes were exiled to Tengzhou.
Lin Ru's marriage was not affected, but she was no longer Princess Chen, but the lowest concubine.
After Lin Chong's death, Lang committed suicide with a white silk scarf. Protected by both her father and husband, she realized her mistake too late! Especially since Lin Chong not only protected her but also exposed her crime, she had no face to live any longer.
The once mighty Ningyuan Marquis Mansion fell into decline.
*
At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the King of Southwest and his family set out for the southwest, along with Prince Nanrongcheng and his entourage.
The young emperor and empress saw them off at the city gate.
"After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again. My southwestern border is now in your hands!"
Ye Yin bowed without saying anything extra.
These were just polite words. The two of them had already discussed in private what should and shouldn't be said.
“Take care along the way!”
Fan Haihua was reluctant to leave. Lin Yue had finished dealing with the shop's affairs and it would be open soon, but Lin Yue was about to leave.
Gao Yan couldn't bear to part with the four men. When she was in the capital, except for the days when she was taken out by the two old men, Gao Yan always played with them. Her feelings for them grew stronger and stronger, so naturally she was reluctant to see them leave.
The Yun family and the Fan family also came to see them off. Everyone was reluctant to leave and said goodbye again and again. Gao Yan and Yun Qi also gave the four men farewell gifts and agreed to write to each other frequently.
After the Emperor and Empress bid farewell, the two caravans set off one after the other. Prince Cheng and his party headed southwest, while Lin Yue and his party took a detour to the northwest and went to Yejia Village.
The two convoys went their separate ways.
