Chapter 100 Madam

The second half of the sentence which was “going to happen right” was still stuck in her mouth when she was interrupted by Shi Qi and was swallowed back into her stomach.

Such gloomy words definitely shouldn’t be uttered.

Ning Meng immediately kept spitting at herself and covered her mouth.

Cheng Xianwei watched her movements in a daze, and smiled awkwardly, “Miss Ning is truly quite charming…hahaha…”

Shi Qi didn’t have any expression on and pulled her out of the cave.

Their journey on the way out was a lot smoother. They kept walking forward and after coming out of that mountain, they were welcomed with the familiar sight of the wasteland. At this moment, it was deserted, a complete contrast to the lush greenery they had just seen before..

The police cordons were still there, evidently indicating that nothing had changed.

After having personally experienced everything that’s happened so far, Cheng Xianwei turned his head and glanced back, feeling deeply unfathomable.

The system replied, “You think too much. He only just became a zombie. He wouldn’t be that strong. In fact, if the sun were strong, he’d easily be eliminated.”

Shi Qi said indifferently, “This has nothing to do with you.”

Cheng Xianwei smiled at his words, and said, “I have troubled Young Master Qi this time, I will definitely repay you heavily in gratitude!”

He had spent a lot of effort in hiring him, and now that his problem was solved, he was wholeheartedly willing to reward him until he was satisfied.

If that zombie had nothing to do with him, that’d be the best case scenario!

Shi Qi nodded slightly.

Ning Meng couldn’t help but look back. Mount Yan, known as the Dragon Vein, was like a mirage, its traces completely disappearing.

But she knew that if she went back, she would definitely see it again. She just had to take a certain path.

Mount Yan was a tourist attraction in Yanjing. Behind it was something people have never discovered before. In fact, they were probably the first few people who have been there.

After a while, the Shi Family car appeared on the side of the road.

After returning to the Shi residence, Shi Qi went straight to the building next to the mansion.

Ning Meng had an impression.

She had seen that building back in Grandma Shi’s memories. It was related to the several generations of ancestors of the Shi family. In addition to these, there were historical memorial tablets, placed in the ancestral hall.

After Shi Qi took over as head of the family, the memorial tablet for Shi Shanxing was kept in the ancestral hall.

When Ning Meng was brought in by him, the lighting inside was very dim. Only the place where the tablet was placed was illuminated, like a candle. One could see that there were hundreds of tablets placed there.

It looked a bit terrifying.

She swallowed silently. Why did the thought of someone haunting this place pop into her head? Then, a cold wind blew on her back.

Ning Meng approached Shi Qi, but he didn’t react at all.

For a long time, Shi Qi bowed to the tablet and said a few words, but no sound was heard.

Ning Meng also followed, but she didn’t know what to say, so she silently asked them to bless and protect her and Shi Qi in peace until they grew old.

As soon as she finished saying this, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her from the top of her head, and it was very sharp.

Ning Meng didn’t dare to look up, and waited until the feeling disappeared before finally heaving a sigh of relief. She slowly raised his head, coincidentally meeting Shi Qi’s eyes just as he turned around.

“By worshiping, you have become a part of the Shi family.” He said.

Ning Meng: “…”

She turned her face away, and muttered, “Isn’t it already written in your household registration?”

As she was right now, she couldn’t change her household registration, and could only admit her current identity. In any case, apart from Cheng Xianwei, no one else knew that she was already legally named his wife.

Shi Qi put on an elegant look, “As long as you admit it.”

Ning Meng harrumphed and no longer spoke.

Afterwards, the two of them left the ancestral hall side by side and returned to the small cottage. After living there for so long, the small cottage still suited her best.

However, Shi Qi didn’t let her live in the old lady’s room, instead, he gave her the room next to him. The balcony of the two rooms were even connected.

In any case, she had a place to live so Ning Meng didn’t dislike it.

After going around the place, she was still in a good mood. When she saw Li Chun, who was tending to the flowers and plants in the backyard, outside, she finally remembered something and asked, “Where’s Li Xia?”

Her voice was not soft, so Li Chun had managed to hear it.

As soon as the name was spoken, she felt her heart drop down and quickly gave Ning Meng a meaningful look. She waved her hands, telling her not to utter her name.

For the past 20 years, she had never dared to mention the name Li Xia.

The name Li Xia had become a taboo in the Shi Family ever since the incident happened more than 20 years ago. She once saw a person in the mansion call Li Xia out wrongly, and never saw that person again.

Even she herself hasn’t said this name out after more than 20 years.

With a bit of distance between them, Ning Meng was simply unable to see the meaningful glances Li Chun kept sending her and looked at Shi Qi ignorantly.

Sure enough, she heard him coldly say, “Fed to the dogs.”

Hearing this, Ning Meng was stunned for a while and did not speak. She was frightened by the coldness in his words, and didn’t realize what was going on.

Li Chun left the living room tactfully, leaving the two people alone.

Ning Meng thought over Shi Qi’s words several times, and finally returned to her first guess, which was literally feeding Li Xi to the dogs.

She didn’t know what to feel about this.

With Shi Qi’s personality, there had to be a reason. She and Li Xia also had made contact with the old lady in the past but were never seen again after. As for what had happened after, she was completely unaware about it.

It was just that she didn’t know what kind of things had happened that made Shi Qi take such a decision.

After being quiet for a long time, Shi Qi finally said, “Are you afraid?”

Ning Meng shook her head, “No…I just want to know what happened.”

Li Chun and Li Xia came to the Shi family at the same time and were trained by them. If Li Xia had come to their home harboring different intentions, it could only mean that someone had been planning this for a long time.

Recalling what happened to Shi Shanxing, this possibility of this only strengthened.

Shi Qi’s eyes suddenly became deep, and his voice was soft, but inexplicably gloomy, “You don’t need to know.”

How could he let her know such a thing?

Ning Meng knew that he had always been stubborn, and was afraid that this matter was related to her.

A thought came to her mind, and she suddenly thought of what happened when she was leaving the small cottage in the past. At that time, apart from her, Li Chun and Li Xi staying in the cottage, the rest were the men in black.

The murderer was able to easily come in and kill her, perhaps due to having some support from someone working inside, and this person was most likely Li Xia.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt this was the case.

Otherwise, why else would she be taken to feed the dogs? With Shi Qi’s line of thoughts, it was inevitable that she must’ve committed a grave mistake.

Ning Meng no longer continued to ask, and pressed the matter down to the bottom of her heart.

The next day, news about the “yin ghost road” on Weibo was updated.

Cheng Xianwei specially held a press conference and made a grand-sounding announcement. With the help of the police, he finally managed to convince the public to believe him.

Even so, the property he bought was still affected.

After all, it was still a place where someone had died. No matter how you thought of it, it still seemed eerie. Fortunately, a playground was to be built on it, not a community, otherwise, no one would have dared to live there.

After browsing, Ning Meng put away her mobile phone.

Cheng Xianwei had been in the real estate business for so many years, and had experienced accidents like this frequently, so he wasn’t at all worried about how to deal with it. He would definitely have a way to deal with the problems that came up.

The little paper dolls on the table were still trying their best to hold the pencil and move around.

In the past two days, Ning Meng saw the two of them move the pencil left and right on the table, and now, they were moving it back.

Every day, they enjoyed doing the same thing without tiring.

Ning Meng took out a fountain pen and poked the red-clothed paper doll with the end of it. She failed to realize that she had used too much force, actually making the doll fall down with one push.

“Sorry, sorry.” She quickly apologized.

The red paper doll who was poked down, let go of the pencil, dissatisfied. It then turned his back to her, expressing that it was going to ignore her.

But the green paper doll was very happy. She turned around in her little dress and hugged Ning Meng’s index finger, rubbing against it. If it could speak right now, it might have chattered a lot at this moment.

Ning Meng played with them for a long time, and finally stopped disturbing them from carrying their pencil, running down the stairs.

In the living room, Li Chun was sitting there looking at her phone.

She had noisily gone down the stairs yet Li Chun didn’t notice her, still staring at her phone engrossed. Ning Meng couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What are you looking at with so much focus?”

Li Chun hurriedly turned around, saw her, and got up immediately, “Madam.”

Ning Meng: “…”

Ever since the story of Shi Qi taking her to the ancestral hall spread, everyone here started calling her Madam without hesitation.

She couldn’t even produce any effective evidence to refute them.

After all, the person on the second page of the household registration booklet was her, and her relationship with the head of the household was also noted at the end. Written so openly and brazenly, how could she refute it?

In the end, she could only let it be.

Li Chun didn’t seem to care about this, and explained to her, “I had just clicked into the news and read that savages have appeared outside, biting people in the middle of the night.”

Savages?

Ning Meng wondered, “Savages would bite people in the middle of the night?”

Right now, the most famous savages were in undeveloped mountains and forests. Why would they suddenly run off to the big cities?

Li Chun nodded, showing her the screen of her mobile phone, “Several people who were involved in this incident were all sent to the hospital in the middle of the night and are even being treated in the intensive care units.”

The picture shown was indeed the same as what she said.

Li Chun didn’t dare to say too much. After all, this lady looked very timid. What if she had scared her? She would have to bear the consequences.

****

Madam.
