Despite the pain, Liang's father unleashed a torrent of punches and kicks on Liang's mother, cursing as he did so.

"Damn it, you're a complete idiot. I've said it a thousand times, ten thousand times, I don't like you, I'll never like you, you idiot."

I feel nothing but disgust and aversion towards you.

The only reason I got together with you was to seize your Liang family's wealth, yet you treat me like a treasure. You're so damn stupid.

You don't know this yet, do you? The reason your loving parents died was all orchestrated by me, and your daughter too, she…”

Liang's father vented his anger, recounting all the things he had done over the years.

He figured he was going to be beheaded anyway.

Life is only once, and once it's gone, it's really gone. So you might as well use the last moments of your life to speak your mind freely.

After venting her anger, Liang's mother was beaten black and blue, screaming in agony. Only then did her mind gradually clear.

It turns out her parents didn't die of illness!

It turns out that all these years she had been acting on her own wishful thinking, harming not only her parents but also her two children.

But they were slow to realize it.

Liang's mother was in tears, feeling increasingly pained and distressed. At this moment, she regretted her past actions, but it was too late.

Her parents are never coming back, and because of her own blindness and lack of compassion, she has caused her children to drift apart. She has no face to live anymore and would rather die.

"Waaah, Father and Mother, I'm so sorry. I misjudged people and ruined you. Waaah, just you wait, I'll kill the culprit and avenge you."

After saying that, Liang's mother gritted her teeth, her whole body filled with murderous intent, and quickly pulled out the hairpin stuck in her hair and pounced on Liang's father.

Liang's father was terrified.

Caught off guard, he was tackled to the ground. He tried to fight back but found himself suddenly powerless and unable to muster any strength.

He watched helplessly as Liang's mother repeatedly pierced his body with a hairpin, and all he could do besides let out shrill screams was beg for mercy.

"Ahhh, Madam, please forgive me! I know I was wrong. If you forgive me, I promise I'll pamper you from now on..."

With red-rimmed eyes, Liang's mother bared her teeth and roared, "Shut up! I don't want to live anymore anyway. You damned beast, you can come to hell with me!"

"No, I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet, please spare me."

"Spare you? Hahahaha, you beast! You killed my parents, causing their early demise. How dare you beg me for mercy?"

"No, please..."

Liang's mother didn't want to hear the beast speak anymore.

So, she kept sticking hairpins into Liang's father's face and mouth, then into his body, leaving no part of him untouched.

In short, her eyes were already red.

Filled with vengeance, she was determined to turn Liang's father into a sieve before she felt any satisfaction. Even with blood splattered all over her face and body, she felt no fear.

The prisoners in the other cells all shut their mouths and shrank back, not daring to make a sound.

The prison warden, who had received orders from above, pretended not to see anything and let Liang's mother go crazy as long as her life wasn't in danger.

Time passed second by second.

Liang's father's screams gradually subsided until no sound could be heard at all, and he was completely covered in blood.

Mother Liang tossed aside the blood-stained hairpin in her hand and burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahahaha, hahahaha..."

——

Time flies, and three days have passed.

All those associated with Fan Donghai were arrested, but the verdict would not be reached quickly; the Emperor's approval was required before a verdict could be made.

In addition, the displaced people in Huaizhou County were gradually resettled.

The people of Huaizhou County have all received relief grain and relief silver from the government, and everyone is all smiles.

The prefect said that the river embankment needs to be repaired soon, and every household can go. They will receive three meals a day and wages. If they do not want wages, they can pay them with grain.

This was such a wonderful thing; they never dared to dream of it before. Well, at least they have something to look forward to now.

No more fear of going hungry, no more oppression by corrupt officials above.

In short, I am very grateful to the Emperor, Princess Chang Le, Prince Jing, and the Prefect.

Of course, the person I am most grateful to is Princess Chang Le.

Sheng Lingwei had no idea that, thanks to the praise from Wuhan Sheng, her reputation had reached an unprecedented level, and the people of Huaizhou County had become her fanatical fans.

It is well-deserved.

After all, she hasn't rested these past few days.

She took out a lot of the medicinal herbs and grains grown in the space and handed them all over to Wuhan to help the people.

This time, she showed great kindness, essentially becoming a generous benefactor, and wished she could award herself a "Good Person Award."

Why!

She clearly aspired to be a major villain, so why is this trajectory becoming increasingly strange?

Let it be strange, as long as she has a clear conscience.

The matter in Huaizhou County has been basically resolved.

Sheng Lingwei led the main group to continue their journey. At this stop-and-go pace, it was unclear how long it would take to reach Yucheng County.

She was quite annoyed, so she ordered the main force to speed up their journey.

As for Liang's mother, after killing Liang's father, she intended to end her own life, but was saved by the jailer at the first opportunity.

Liang Tianling had complex feelings towards this mother. It was impossible for her not to have feelings for her, but it was true that she was heartbroken.

He didn't want to take Liang's mother to Yucheng County.

But his younger sister was still young and needed her mother's love. He didn't want his sister in this world to lack family affection like he did in his previous life.

That's all.

In the end, he decided to bring her along, hoping she wouldn't cause any more trouble, otherwise he wouldn't be soft-hearted again.

Liang's mother and Liang Yuanyuan sat in a carriage. She looked very haggard, but her eyes showed a hint of determination.

After spending several days in the prison, she felt increasingly inhuman, just as her son said, that she was unworthy of being a mother.

Thinking back on all these years, she has devoted herself to that beast, never truly considering her two children, nor caring about their basic needs.

Instead, they have to take care of her.

She's such a failure as a mother!

From now on, she will not be as foolish as before. She will make up for her mistakes and will not let her children down again.

——

Inside the carriage, Sheng Lingwei calculated the time and realized something was wrong; a locust plague was expected soon, something she had almost forgotten about.

The ears twitch slightly, and mental energy spreads.

Sheng Lingwei's eyes widened, her face turning as if it were filled with bitter juice.

No way!

Speak of the devil and he appears!

Is she jinxing?

Fortunately, the locusts are quite far from where she is now, and judging by their flight speed, they should arrive here in about two days.

Next, Sheng Lingwei ordered everyone to hurry on their way, as they were now in the middle of nowhere with nowhere to hide from the locusts.

The only option is to find a suitable place to hide from the locusts as quickly as possible.

Although locusts do not bite, their legs are hard and sharp, which can scratch people's hands and other exposed parts of their bodies.

In particular, large swarms of locusts can cause harm to people and livestock.

The thought of those locusts gave Sheng Lingwei goosebumps.

Although she wasn't afraid of locusts, the sight of the dense swarms of locusts made her scalp tingle.

Hmm~
