Thrown Into the Wolf's Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Funing Village Owner

Wu Fang, who was standing behind Mo Lingwei, was slightly ashamed.

 Is this why His Royal Highness insists on delivering the imperial edict himself?

Ordinary people would kneel down to receive the imperial edict. Miss Shen was young and didn't understand, and the prince didn't take the emperor's majesty seriously.

Fortunately, when Mo Lingwei went to ask for the imperial edict this morning, the emperor looked happy, as if he felt that he could finally help his son.

He also wanted to arrange for his chief **** and two groups of imperial guards to read out the imperial edict and give Shen Ningning a chance to show up.

Unexpectedly, the prince refused directly and said that he would deliver it in person.

Wu Fang deeply suspected that the reason why His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to deliver it in person was simply because he did not want Shen Ningning to kneel down.

This is taking too much care of her.

 Shen Ningning opened the imperial edict. She was already fully literate.

 “The wind is strong and the pine trees are lifted, and the wildflowers are restrained, like the beams of the rainbow... He is intelligent and virtuous, so he is granted the title of lord of Funing Township and enjoys fifty shi of food.”

Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and smiled. After she finished reading, he asked, "Do you like it?"

Shen Ningning raised her dark and beautiful eyes, and her childish voice was full of confusion: "Brother, what is a village master?"

Wu Fang couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

Mo Lingwei turned around and glanced at him.

Wu Fang immediately suppressed his laughter and explained seriously: "Miss Shen, this village owner is in a position where you can receive money from the court."

“Half of the taxes paid by villages within a hundred miles of this area will be distributed to you, and the court will also give you fifty dan of food every month.”

“In our Cangyun Kingdom, initially only the daughters of local dignitaries could be granted the title of village head. This is a reward that His Highness the Crown Prince thought was admirable for your insistence on your opinion and redressed the injustice of the Wu family, so he specially requested it from the Emperor!”

After Wu Fang finished speaking, he glanced at Mo Lingwei flatteringly. The latter looked at him coldly, and then he extinguished some of his anger.

 Shen Ningning understood, it was a title that could get food!

 “Ms. Funing...” She held these four words between her lips and teeth and chanted repeatedly: “It sounds good!”

Mo Lingwei smiled: "I personally selected it for you."

 “Thank you, brother.” The little guy liked it very much.

Seeing this, Wu Fang followed her wishes and said, "With your luck and His Highness's love, I will definitely be more than just the village owner in the future."

“The next step up is the county lord, the princess, and finally the princess!”

Of course, it is simply impossible to be granted the title of princess if you are not from the royal family.

 From the founding of the Cangyun Kingdom to the present, I have never heard of a commoner woman being named a princess.

Instead, Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's little hand and said, "Take your time and I'll give it to you."

 Said, it was getting late, and he took Shen Ningning into the carriage.

 The little guy stuck his head out of the car window: "Langlang, go home and tell grandma that my brother and I are going out, so don't worry her."

From the time she came home yesterday to the moment she went out, grandma seemed to have a lot of things on her mind.

Shen Ningning asked after she had barely eaten breakfast. Grandma Qin only said it was too hot, so the little guy put in a few more pieces of ice.

 When she comes back and tells grandma the good news that she has become the village head, grandma will definitely be happy!

The Black Wolf King nodded and howled twice to reassure Shen Ningning before the carriage left.

 But when the Black Wolf King returned to the house, he saw that Grandma Qin had packed up and was about to go out.

“Ouch?” The Black Wolf King walked over and looked at Grandma Qin with confused eyes.

Grandma Qin smiled kindly and touched its head: "I want to go out and go to Yu'an County. It's not far and I can be back before dark."

The Black Wolf King chased him for two steps. Grandma Qin turned around and waved back: "Don't worry, I'll go to the village and find the kid from the Chen family to take me there."

But the Black Wolf King still followed. It wasn't until he saw that Grandma Qin had indeed called Chen Ye and left in Shen Ningning's carriage that he felt relieved and returned to the mountains.

The cemetery that Shen Ningning chose for Wu Zuchang and his family happened to be located in a mountain nest.

 Surrounded by mountains behind, facing the white clouds in the distance, the view is broad.

Jing Zhaoyin, along with a group of government servants and several high-ranking officials, were already waiting here holding Du Yuanwai's ashes.

They arrived early. People in the nearby Xitai Village heard the movement and stood not far away to watch.

They discussed in low voices—

"I really can't believe that Shen Ningning, who is so capable, really reversed the case for the Wu family!"    "She is so capable. The powerful people wanted to suppress the case, but she didn't agree, but she was able to catch the murderer and smash the ashes. It's a consolation to Lao Wu's family.”

 “Don't look at who her backer is? That's the prince! He is a noble person who is inferior to one person and is superior to ten thousand people.”

"Hey, you guys think that Shen Ningning won't become the prince's concubine in the future, right? If she grows up and enters the East Palace, then when the prince ascends the throne in the future, won't she be the concubine?"

"It's too early to say this now. Shen Ningning is only a few years old. Maybe if she were older, she would have been forgotten by the prince."

Everyone had different opinions until the prince appeared at the end of the mountain road holding Shen Ningning's little hand.

Mo Lingwei has an awe-inspiring temperament by nature, he is not angry and has authority, and his aura is cold and proud.

 All the gossiping villagers immediately shut up.

"Be careful, watch your step." Mo Lingwei lowered his head and told Shen Ningning.

"I don't know how to wrestle. I'm holding on to my brother very tightly!" After she finished speaking, Mo Lingwei chuckled.

When the two arrived, Jing Zhaoyin immediately brought officials to greet them.

 According to the folk procedure of comforting the souls of the dead, a brazier is set up and yellow paper is burned.

Jing Zhaoyin started the fire himself. When Shen Ningning watched the flames light up, Wu Zuchang's name on the tombstone became blurred for an instant.

 When she realized it, it turned out that she was crying again, and tears disturbed her vision.

 Shen Ningning raised her hand to wipe it away.

“Brother Zuchang, I'm here to see you. Your murderer has been punished.”

A gust of summer wind blew, and there was a rustling sound in the forest. No one responded, but it seemed like a response.

Jing Zhaoyin nodded to the two officials, and they opened the box and scattered Du Yuanwai's ashes outward.

"The injustice has been settled, let's go on the road with peace of mind." Jing Zhaoyin handed over his hand.

Mo Lingwei stepped forward and offered a glass of wine.

Shen Ningning took out two cut-out paper figures from her pocket.

The eldest one was very tall. Shen Ningning held the little one's hand and painted smiling faces on them all.

She gently put it into the brazier: "Brother Zuchang, I hope you have already met the girl, so don't worry about me. I will live a good life with my grandma. When I find my parents, I will come to tell you the good news."

The wind blows, the fire shakes, the tombstone is cold, and the tears are hot.

 Finally, Mo Lingwei held Shen Ningning's little hand and went down the mountain.

On the mountain road, the little guy's Nuonuo voice came: "Brother, actually I dreamed about Brother Zuchang last night."

 “Oh? Did he talk to you?”

“He didn't speak, he just looked at me and smiled, and finally gave me a small flower with green stamens, like a firefly. I guess he should have seen Yatouba now!”

 “Then he must want to tell you, don't be sad anymore.”

Shen Ningning nodded heavily and looked forward with her black eyes: "I won't cry anymore. I want to live a good life and go find my father and mother!"

Mo Lingwei and her figure disappeared at the end of the mountain road with a group of officials.

Behind them, several graves of the Wu family are clustered together, located in the quiet and peaceful mountains.

A gust of wind passed by. Behind Wu Zuchang's tombstone, there was a small flower swaying in the wind. The stamens were green and seemed to be fragrant.

 Seven or eight days passed.

 Shen Ningning's life returned to normal.

 That day she went to the village to give Jiang Zhi some big dumplings made by her grandma.

However, I saw the old village chief walking out of his home with a sad face.

When he saw Shen Ningning, he immediately seemed to see a savior.

“Ning Ning, I was just looking for you. Something happened and we were targeted.”
