Chapter 2424: She’s Still Alive?
When Ning Shu started to inhale large mouthfuls of air, her rigid body began to loosen up little by little.
Lady Wang stood at the bedside and looked down at her. “Sanlang said not to let you die and to make you into our family’s young madam. Consider this a blessing of good fortune.”
“You will be a member of the Li family from now on. You must abide by the family’s rules and carry out the traditional duties of a good wife. You must not be impure and must remain chaste for Sanlang.”
“My Sanlang is simply too soft-hearted and couldn’t bear to let you die.” Lady Wang reminisced and sorrowfully said, “It’s a pity that he left this world so soon.”
Ning Shu’s face was expressionless and didn’t say anything. Lady Wang actually thought that this was charity?
Liu Xiaoya would spend the rest of her life in front of a memorial tablet.
For just ten taels of silver.
Right now, Ning Shu had no way to solve issues that could usually be solved with money.
Lady Wang droned on about the Li family’s customs. When she left, she locked the door from the outside.
After Lady Wang was gone, Ning Shu moved. She sat cross-legged on the bed and began to cultivate.
Since the request was to break free of Li Sanlang, force was essential.
Because they were in the ancient era, spiritual energy was abundant. As soon as Ning Shu started practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, spiritual energy started revolving in her body.
The lungs that previously ached from the suffocation were no longer in pain.
Ning Shu sank deeper into cultivation. By the time she woke up, the sky was already dark. There was no light in the room, it was pitch black.
Ning Shu got out of bed. Suddenly, a pair of cold hands reached out from under the bed to grab her ankles.
The hands were extremely cold. They felt like chunks of ice. The sudden freezing grip on Ning Shu’s ankles made her jump up in fright and shiver.
In the middle of such a pitch black and extremely quiet environment, a pair of hands suddenly grabbing her ankles was extremely unsettling.
No wonder Liu Xiaoya had been so terrified.
Ning Shu felt the chill along her ankles slowly spread all over her body. Even with the Unsurpassable Martial Arts protecting her body, the cold made her teeth chatter.
If she was an ordinary person, evil energy would very likely enter her body.
The owner of the hands was probably Li Sanlang. Ning Shu calmed down and tried to swing her ankles, wanting to get rid of the hands.
But no matter how much she squirmed, his grip didn’t loosen. Ning Shu crouched down and tried to pull the hands off.
“Let go,” Ning Shu said coldly.
The ice-cold hands continued to grasp her ankles.
Ning Shu rolled her eyes. In that case, he shouldn’t blame her for being ruthless.
She chanted an exorcism spell, drew out a talisman, and stuck it in the air a short distance away from the pale, icy hands.
The hands trembled, then released her ankles and withdrew back under the bed.
Ning Shu lifted up her red skirt to see blue and black hand imprints on her ankles.
She walked over to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked.
Ning Shu banged on the door several times. Then she took a deep breath and started yelling loudly. “I’m hungry! I’m hungry! I’m hungry! I’m hungry…!”
“What are you shouting for?” Lady Wang took out a key and opened the door. Several servant girls trailed behind her.
One of the servants entered the room to light a candle. The room immediately brightened.
Lady Wang ordered the girl to place food on the table. There were two dishes and a bowl of rice. The meal didn’t look too bad.
One of the dishes was shredded pork and one fried chinese cabbage with vinegar.
For Liu Xiaoya, who hadn’t seen meat and fish all year round, such a meal was really not bad. Not bad at all, in fact.
The Li family was rich, so of course their food was carefully prepared. However, Liu Xiaoya still chose to escape.
