Luo Fengtang stopped the carriage by the side of the road. As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiaoyu couldn't wait to jump down from it and staggered towards the front door of the Ning family.

Yang Ruoqing followed closely behind, holding Xiao Yu firmly, and the two of them arrived near the gate of Ning's house. As expected, they saw that an open space had been vacated at the gate.

In the open space, there were some luxurious-looking carriages parked.

Under the eaves of the grand gate of the Ning family in front of them, the festive red lanterns that could still be seen when I came last night have long been replaced, and the white streamers have been hung up.

"Brother Ning!"

Xiao Yu howled and was about to go to the gate of Ning's house, but Yang Ruoqing grabbed her.

"Don't go there yet. Even if you knock on the door and identify yourself, the Ning family's guards won't let us in." Yang Ruoqing said.

"Wait a moment until Tang Yazi stops the carriage and comes over. He has been to Ning's house once before. Let him ask around first. Maybe he will have an impression."

After hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Xiaoyu covered her mouth and stood there crying, crying into tears.

Soon, Luo Fengtang came over, and Yang Ruoqing quickly sent him over there to inquire about the situation.

I stood opposite and looked across a street from a distance.

Soon, Luo Fengtang came back.

"What's going on with the Ning family?" Yang Ruoqing asked quickly.

Xiao Yu also came over. She looked at Luo Fengtang and asked nervously: "It's not Brother Ning, it's someone else, right?"

Luo Fengtang looked at Xiao Yu with a complicated expression, and squeezed out a few words from his lips: "My condolences."

"What?"

Xiaoyu's breath was suffocated for a moment, and then his whole body was shaking.

Yang Ruoqing quickly reached out to support her.

"Xiao Yu..." Tears also fell down, and I didn't know how to comfort him.

Xiao Yu shook her head, her eyes blank and blank.

But he kept repeating one sentence in his mouth: "How could it be possible? How could it be possible? He was so good, why did he die?"

I still have so many more things to ask you...

Suddenly, Xiaoyu broke free from Yang Ruoqing's hand and ran towards the Ning's door regardless.

"Quick, stop her!" Yang Ruoqing said, and hurried to chase her.

Over there, the doorman had just opened the door and ushered the two guests into the courtyard. Just as he was about to close the door, the light rain passed.

"Brother the guard, please let me in, I want to see Ning Su!" Xiao Yu cried and begged.

The guard looked at the disheveled Xiaoyu and frowned in disgust.

Hearing Xiaoyu's name shouting again, the guard panicked.

"Where did you come from, crazy woman, let's go, let's go!"

He pushed Xiao Yu away, jumped into the threshold as quickly as possible, and slammed the door shut.

Xiaoyu rushed over and slapped the door again, "Please, let me in, Brother Ning..."

Suddenly, she howled, her eyes went black and she fainted.

Yang Ruoqing chased after her, hugged Xiao Yu in her arms, stretched out two fingers and touched the side of Xiao Yu's neck.

"She fainted due to anxiety, Tang Yazi, let's take her back first!" Yang Ruoqing said.

…

In the guest room in the backyard of the restaurant, Xiaoyu woke up from a nightmare again.

"Brother Ning, Brother Ning!"

She sat up suddenly and found Yang Ruoqing sitting next to the bed, holding a small bowl in her hand. A faint smell of medicine wafted from the small bowl.

"I'm awake now. Come on, take this medicine." Yang Ruoqing said.

Xiaoyu glanced at the medicine and shook her head.

"I'm going to find Brother Ning..." She opened the quilt and got out of bed.

Yang Ruoqing quickly put the medicine bowl aside and reached out to hold Xiaoyu: "Don't go to Xiaoyu, everyone is already dead!"

"Dead?" Xiaoyu was stunned.

"No, I don't believe it," she said, "I haven't even asked him yet, how could he die! Wuwuwu..."

Yang Ruoqing came over, hugged Xiaoyu, and let Xiaoyu cry on her shoulder.

"Qing'er, how could this happen? How could this happen!" she cried.

"How did Brother Ning die? Can any of you tell me?" she asked again.

Yang Ruoqing then raised her head and glanced at Luo Fengtang who was standing aside, "When you were asleep earlier, Tang Yazi went to inquire again. Let him tell you."

Xiaoyu looked at Luo Fengtang with tears in her eyes.

Luo Fengtang came to the bedside with a solemn expression, stood behind Yang Ruoqing, and spoke in a deep voice.

"The news from the Ning Mansion is that Brother Ning died suddenly in the early hours of this morning. No cause of death can be found."

"Brother Ning's father proposed to ask his wife to conduct an autopsy to find out the cause of death. Brother Ning's mother and grandmother objected."

"They think it will make Brother Ning uneasy..."

After listening to Luo Fengtang's words, Xiao Yu's heart felt completely cold.

Not even a trace of blood could be found on his face.

"Really, really...dead...poof!"

Xiaoyu suddenly covered her chest and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Xiaoyu!"

Yang Ruoqing exclaimed, "Xiao Yu, don't be like this. Without Brother Ning, you still have your parents and us!"

"If you have a problem, how will I explain it to your parents when I get back?"

While feeling happy for Xiao Yu, he asked Luo Fengtang to pour a bowl of tea over and gave Xiao Yu a sip.

Xiaoyu shook her head and asked Yang Ruoqing: "What time is it now? Brother Ning, what is the situation now?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's getting dark soon. The Ning family should have set up a mourning hall. He should be buried after a day or two of rituals."

Xiaoyu lowered his head, tears falling on the quilt again.

"Qing'er, please do me a favor. I want to see Brother Ning one last time and send him off for the last time..." she said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded lightly, "Tang Yazi and I also have a good relationship with Brother Ning, and the two of them are sworn brothers."

"Tomorrow morning, let Tang Yazi reveal his identity as a general and go to the Ning family to mourn. At that time, we will go there together to see Brother Ning off for the last time," she said.

Xiaoyu cried and nodded again.

"Qing'er, please go out, I want to be alone for a while." She said again.

Yang Ruoqing stood up and left the house with Luo Fengtang.

"You go back to your house and rest, I'll guard you here." Yang Ruoqing said.

Luo Fengtang glanced at the closed door, and then at Yang Ruoqing who was guarding the door: "You have been working hard on Xiaoyu these days. I will guard it. You go back to the house and take a nap.

"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head, "I'm fine, you can go ahead. She is my best friend, so it's not convenient for you to guard her."

Luo Fengtang said: "You stay here to guard me. I've gone back to the house and I don't want to rest. Why don't I stay and be your companion."

Yang Ruoqing glanced at him and knew that his stubborn temper was rising.

"Okay, then let's stay together."

…

After a night, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoyu got up just after dawn the next day.
