Chapter 681 Execution (2)

Old Madam Shen pushed Chang Zaiqing away. Her face was covered in scratches from her nails, her hair and clothes a mess, but she looked at the person on the ground with satisfaction. Chang Zaiqing was curled up on the ground, hunched over, clutching her lower abdomen, her face twisted in pain, and she moaned violently. Beneath her, a pool of blood gradually formed.

She actually had a miscarriage in prison.

I don't know what Madam Shen had done to Chang Zaiqing just now, but the food in the prison has not been to his taste these days. Chang Zaiqing is weak, and he must have been injured in the abdomen during the fight with Madam Shen just now.

Shen Gui looked at Shen Wan somewhat bewilderedly, but saw that Shen Wan's eyes were not moved at all. He looked at Chang Zaiqing rolling on the ground in pain, as if he was looking at a stranger.

As for Old Madam Shen, she looked at Chang Zaiqing almost like a madman, cursing, "Bitch! You deserve to die! Bitch!"

Chen Yue was a little afraid of blood. Seeing that the blood under Chang Zaiqing was getting more and more, and actually dyed a large area of the ground red, she gradually began to get scared and squeezed closer to Chen Ruoqiu. Chen Ruoqiu hugged Chen Yue tightly, looked at Chang Zaiqing, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

Chang Zaiqing's mind was blurred by the pain. She tried hard to call out to the jailers, hoping that someone would notice that she was unwell and find a doctor for her. However, the jailers came and went, and the occasional glance they gave her was full of disdain and ridicule, with no intention of helping her at all.

I don't know how long he groaned, but Chang Zaiqing gradually couldn't even make any sound. It was probably because he was only breathing in but not out. He was dying as if he would pass away at any moment.

No one spoke in the cell; it was eerily quiet. The Shen family members looked at Chang Zaiqing with disgust, impatience, ridicule, fear, and disdain, but not a single sympathy.

Disasters can distort human nature, and when one's position is at odds with others, sympathy is even less likely to be shown. In the eyes of Shen Yue and Chen Ruoqiu, Chang Zaiqing suffered the consequences of her actions. In the eyes of Shen Wan, Chang Zaiqing deceived them and deserved no death. Shen Gui was certainly no pushover, and Old Madam Shen wished to tear Chang Zaiqing to pieces.

Chang Zaiqing's life was smooth sailing in the first half, and though the second half wasn't quite as smooth, she believed that with her talent, even if she couldn't achieve the status of a phoenix, she could still achieve wealth and honor. She fought and scrambled for wealth and honor, disregarding conscience and dignity. However, who knew that the pit of wealth and honor she plunged into would be a graveyard, and that the people she endured and dealt with turned out to be more terrifying than jackals.

At this time, Chang Zaiqing suddenly missed her incompetent and alcoholic husband in Liuzhou, and her son who always chopped wood and fed chickens silently.

She muttered in a daze: "Huaisheng..."

Shen Yue frowned: "What is she muttering about?"

Chen Ruoqiu shook his head.

"Mom, why do you look so listless?" Chen Yue tightened her grip on her hand. "Is this incident... serious? When can we get out?"

"It's okay, it's just a small matter. His Majesty will let us go after he investigates it clearly. Don't worry. You should take a rest for a while so that you won't be exhausted later." Chen Ruoqiu replied with a smile.

After receiving Chen Ruoqiu's assurance, Shen Yue felt a little relieved, but she did feel a little sleepy, so she leaned against Chen Ruoqiu and closed her eyes peacefully.

Old Lady Shen gradually calmed down after listening to Chen Ruoqiu's words. Although she was still not very satisfied with Chen Ruoqiu, she always knew who was better through comparison. With someone like Chang Zaiqing as a foil, Old Lady Shen felt that Chen Ruoqiu was not bad. She also closed her eyes and rested.

No one cared whether Chang Zaiqing on the ground was dead or alive.
