Suddenly, he yelled and lunged at Qiao Zhizhi.
Even if she dies, she will drag Qiao Zhizhi down with her; the root of everything today lies with her.
If it weren't for her, the Wu family wouldn't have broken off the engagement, there wouldn't have been the subsequent events, and the Sun family wouldn't have fallen into this predicament.
It's all her fault!
But the Imperial Guards reacted quickly, pinning her down and binding her with ropes.
"Qiao Zhizhi, you're so smug, aren't you? I'll haunt you even as a ghost. Just you wait, your retribution will come sooner or later."
Qiao Zhizhi raised an eyebrow: "Miss Sun, it's not so easy to be a ghost. The Sun family's crime will probably result in confiscation and exile. As for you, as a female member of the family, you'll probably have to work as a servant in the government for the rest of your life. It's still a long way off before you can become a ghost."
Upon hearing the word "hard labor," and imagining being trapped for life, never seeing the light of day, Sun Hetang's eyes widened, his heart filled with boundless fear and despair.
She originally had a bright future: to marry the young master of the Wu family, have children, and live a harmonious and happy life. As the matriarch of the Wu family, she was also the center of attention.
But on that day, she rushed up to Qiao Zhizhi and Lin Songyan and humiliated them, which changed her fate.
As expected, the original painting was found in Sun Hetang's courtyard, along with three or four prints.
Grandpa Sun originally intended to shift the blame onto Sun Hetang and his sister to protect the family lineage, but unexpectedly, printed materials were also found in his and Second Master Sun's study.
When the Imperial Guard soldiers emerged from his study carrying the printed paintings, his pupils dilated violently, he gasped for breath, then cried out, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He and his cane fell to the ground, and he lost consciousness.
Master Sun stared intently at the printed artwork, then suddenly broke free of the Imperial Guards and ran into the house.
He rushed out again quickly, holding a long sword in his hand, which was already drawn and gleaming with a cold, sharp light.
"Lord Sun, what are you doing? Are you trying to defy the will of Heaven? Put down your sword immediately, or the consequences will be even more severe," Deputy General Luo said sternly.
The Imperial Guards surrounded and protected several important figures.
However, Master Sun did not come after them. He stared intently at Sun Hetang, his eyes bloodshot.
“You wretched child, you have brought misery to your entire family. Before the heavenly punishment comes, I will punish you according to family law.”
Master Sun shouted and thrust his sword at Sun Hetang.
Sun Hetang was terrified and ran around the courtyard, crying out, "Father, no! Third Brother, Third Brother, help me!"
But Young Master Sun just looked at her with a cold smile.
No matter how much he doted on his younger sister Sun Hetang, the family was on the verge of collapse, and he felt more hatred, resentment, and regret in his heart.
If he hadn't listened to Sun Hetang at the beginning, but instead had persuaded her to stay.
Things wouldn't have come to this.
But Sun Hetang was very confident that it would succeed, and as the leader, she would bear the main responsibility.
Filled with hatred and rage, Master Sun chased after Sun Hetang, wildly swinging his sword. Sun Hetang was struck in the back and shoulder, fleeing covered in blood, leaving a shocking trail of bloodstains on the ground.
Seeing this, Qiao Lian'er and Qiao Zhizhi felt extremely pleased.
Sun Hetang's fate was far worse than they had imagined.
Seeing the chaotic and disorderly scene, Lord Qin frowned and said, "Why don't you stop them right away?"
But Master Sun had clearly gone mad, his eyes were bloodshot as he brandished his sword, and no one dared to get too close.
