The imperial edict had stated that the corpses should be thrown into a mass grave and not buried, but Chen Yongnian still agreed to Wan Qiqi's request.

"Okay, wait for my news!"

He didn't know if he could do it, but he wanted to ease his wife's discomfort.

Chen Yongnian left, but Tao Ran remained standing in the same spot.

After meeting Xie Xing, he became the one who knew everything. He did not stop him, nor did he even warn him.

He also became the one who received the imperial decree without anyone noticing.

Tao Ran stood there, unsure how to persuade Wan Ziyan to go back.

He didn't even know how to persuade Wan Qiqi to go back.

In his eyes, Wan Qiqi was very brave, at least braver than himself!

“Ziyan…” Tao Ran called out.

"Get out!" Wan Ziyan swept his sleeves across the ground, splashing up countless water droplets.

This was the first time he had ever sworn.

Tao Ran stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, Tao Jing and Chen Yongliang appeared.

They came carrying umbrellas.

One person holds an umbrella for Wan Qiqi.

One person holds an umbrella for Tao Ran.

Only Wan Ziyan remained in the rain, getting soaked continuously.

"Brother, what happened?"

Tao Jing didn't understand why all the people she had hired had gone back!

The people who returned home were filled with terror, as if something horrific had happened.

Tao Ran sighed, closed his eyes, and said, "Let's go home!"

Watching the person leave, Chen Yongliang couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law, what happened? Where's brother?"

He looked at Wan Ziyan, who was slumped on the ground, in disbelief.

Is this really Brother Wan Er?

Wan Qiqi tossed the imperial edict to Chen Yongliang and said coldly, "Go back now, I want to stay here for a while!"

Chen Yongliang didn't quite understand, but he recognized it as an imperial edict. "Sister-in-law..."

Wan Qiqi suddenly shouted, "I told you to leave, don't you understand?"

Chen Yongliang was stunned for a moment.

He could tell that his sister-in-law was really angry, and very angry at that.

But he didn't dare leave Wan Qiqi standing in the rain.

Wan Qiqi looked up, her voice accusing, "Didn't you understand what I said?"

Chen Yongliang shuddered in fright.

Wan Qiqi's eyes now look like those of a demon from hell.

He took a step back, carefully lowered his umbrella, and left in the rain.
