Chapter 1829: Chapter 1822: Ten Years of Imprisonment
Little Ginsengās wounds all split open, and she lay weakly in Chu Hengās arms, gasping, āDonāt be angry, sheā¦ā
Song Huaining actually didnāt do anything to her.
Sheās just a stubborn girl!
But in his rage, Chu Heng ordered Song Huaining to be beaten to death.
He also took Xiao Yuntang away.
Xiao Yuntangās cries and Song Huainingās sounds of being beaten ceaselessly assaulted Rong Ningās eardrums outside the cell.
Rong Ning punched the iron door, furious thoughts in his heart raging to burst forth, āDamn it!ā
Why was he so foolish!
Why didnāt he confess to Chu Heng sooner, implicating so many peopleā¦ and Tangtang!
She was a girl nurtured in luxury, never owed him anything, yet she repeatedly called him brother.
Trapped in the cell, he could only remain motionless, listening to the cries outside gradually weaken as he too sunk into despair.
Imprisoned in the cellā¦
His life was already stagnant, yet he continued to involve others, even death wasnāt a choice for him.
Outside the iron window, days and nights shifted numerous times, Rong Ning awaited eagerly for any kind of message, but none came. He smashed the rice bowl, picked up a shard, and fiercely sliced a bloody gash on his wrist, tendons severed, blood rushing out uncontrollably as the acute pain forced him to scream, āAhāā
His screams were reported by the jailer in Chu Hengās presence, who was just then surrounded by many, then Sui Feng came to inform him, āRong Ning has severed his tendons, abandoning martial arts, now heās a cripple.ā
āWhat? My Ningning!ā Upon hearing this, Su Miaoyan immediately covered her mouth and started crying.
She loathed this nephew she had watched grow since childhood, not wanting to utter another word to him.
Xiao Yu was also heartbroken, his eyes cold and somber, āWould Your Highness be satisfied now? Even if you donāt kill him, he will no longer be any threat to you in the future!ā
In the end, he gravely injured his son, stripping away the final defiance of this thorn.
Chu Heng admired Rong Ning inwardly, as he set down the teacup, said faintly, āRong Ning has already made his choice, I can comply. All the Xiao family can be pardoned, they may leave together with Tangtang, as for Rong Ningā¦
He will remain in Jiang Du City for ten years, then I will grant him freedom.ā
āTen years! My Ningning has to suffer for another ten years!ā Su Miaoyan covered her face, crying out in anguish.
Xiao Yu embraced her, knowing this was already the best outcome Rong Ning could achieve.
Attempted assassination of the Crown Prince and provocation at the border were both paths to definite death.
Now that he abandoned martial arts, and will be imprisoned in Jiang Du City for ten years, at least he can still earn a chance at life.
Xiao Yu begged Chu Heng for a chance, their whole family wanted to see Rong Ning one last time.
Chu Heng, considering Su Yingxue, agreed with them and also granted them the opportunity to visit Rong Ning in Jiang Du every year.
Xiao Yu and Xiao Yuntang packed some belongings, and before leaving, took Su Miaoyan along to visit Rong Ning in the cell.
Rong Ning became a cripple, thus freed from chains, but lying on the bed, his limbs were all covered in blood scars, deep enough to see bone.
Xiao Yu and Su Miaoyan, being parents, felt as if the pain were engraved a thousand times over onto their own bodies, and Su Miaoyan almost fainted shortly after seeing Rong Ning.
Badly injured, Rong Ning could barely move, lying in the cell, speaking quietly, āIām fine.ā
They neednāt worry so much.
āBrother, Your Highness said ten yearsā¦ ten years later youāll be free! By then, weāll surely come to bring you home! Our family can finally reunite!ā Xiao Yuntang sat by Rong Ningās side, joyfully wiping away tears.
