Chapter 572 Give Up and Leave
"If you came to me today just to convince me to let Ye Xiuli go, then I tell you, you've got the wrong person."
Shen Weiyang took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in her heart, and then looked at her calmly and continued to speak.
"The one who will judge Ye Xiuli now is not me, but those who died tragically and were harmed because of him, including the soul of your daughter."
"You stand so high and mighty in the castle. Have you ever seen what your daughter has been standing for all these years? She was sealed alive in a terracotta figurine before she even died, suffocating to death. After her death, she was forced to stand upright in a snake den filled with tens of millions of dragon-backed snakes. Do you know how disgusting that scene is?"
Her Majesty the Queen's face gradually turned pale, and she took a step back and sat on the sofa behind her.
Shen Weiyang looked at her reaction and found it ridiculous: "You don't know, because in your heart, you only care about the dignity of the royal family, and you don't care at all that under the throne, you are stepping on the body of your own daughter."
After that, she didn't say anything else. Her Majesty the Queen's face remained pale and she looked very painful.
"If it's difficult for you, I'm willing to back down."
At this time, Wu Bai's voice suddenly appeared.
The young man whom I hadn't seen for a long time was wearing royal palace clothes. He looked elegant and noble, and the lines of his facial features became much colder, as if he had grown up in an instant.
When he saw Shen Weiyang, he softly called Sister Weiyang, and then walked in front of the queen and looked at her with a cold expression.
"I'm willing to take a step back and not seek justice for my parents. When listing Ye Xiuli's crimes, you can ignore my parents' pain. That way, no one will know that Princess Anna is your and Ye Xiuli's illegitimate daughter, and the dignity you desire can be protected."
Shen Weiyang looked at Wu Bo in shock, and before the queen could speak, she advised: “Xiao Wu, don’t be afraid. The current situation is not something she can control. We will definitely give your parents justice.”
"Sister Weiyang, that's not necessary." Wu Bai looked at her with tears in his eyes and a grateful smile. "My parents are both gone. I just want to kill Ye Xiuli as soon as possible to avenge them. As for justice, what's the point of it now that they're gone? I don't need it either."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the queen with a cold gaze: "But I have a condition."
"Since Her Majesty the Queen is unwilling to make the decision for your daughter for the sake of the royal dignity, I believe you don't care about your daughter either. In that case, your daughter's son should have nothing to do with you."
Her Majesty the Queen's heart tightened, her eyes suddenly moistened, and she looked at Wu Bai with a trembling voice and asked, "Child, what do you mean?"
Wu Bai sneered, "My meaning is very simple. I don't want justice, I want freedom. After executing Ye Xiuli, I will have nothing to do with your royal family, and I will never see you again."
He did not want royal power or wealth, nor did he care about the position of crown prince that the queen had promised him.
Since the royal family is unwilling to make decisions for his parents, why should he stay in this cold place and restrict his freedom for the rest of his life?
"Xiao Wu, she's under a lot of pressure from outside right now. If you just wait patiently, she'll eventually give in."
On the way out of the castle, Shen Weiyang said to Wu Bai distressedly.
Wu Bo shook his head dejectedly: "In fact, it's not just her who can't compromise. I'm also reluctant to reveal that my mother is an illegitimate daughter."
"Ye Xiuli deserves the death penalty and should be judged accordingly, but my mother has been innocent from the beginning to the end. She is no longer alive. If her identity as an illegitimate daughter is exposed after her death, it would be too embarrassing. I want to leave her with some dignity."
This is not only the dignity of the royal family, but also the dignity of Princess Anna.
Shen Weiyang had only thought about seeking justice before, but she didn’t realize this.
At this time, I felt a little guilty: "I'm sorry, I didn't think of this and ignored your feelings."
Wu Bai: "Sister Weiyang, you've done enough for my parents. If you hadn't been putting pressure on her, she wouldn't have made up her mind to execute Ye Xiuli."
"Before, she was concerned about more than just the dignity of the royal family. She still had feelings for Ye Xiuli and wanted to protect him despite the pressure. Now she has no other choice, so she is only considering the issue of the royal dignity in the end."
"She's waiting for me to give in."
When Wu Bai said this, there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"She felt she owed me something and was too embarrassed to speak up herself, so she waited for me to speak up."
Shen Weiyang looked at him in shock.
Wu Bai shrugged nonchalantly: "Whatever, I don't care anyway."
Did he really not care? After losing two of his closest relatives, the elders he had just recognized were scheming against him everywhere. They didn't want him to avenge his parents, but only wanted to plot against him and put him in a difficult situation.
How could he, a child who had just become an adult, not care at this time?
"Sister, don't look at me like that," Wu Bo looked at Shen Weiyang's distressed eyes and immediately tried to smooth things over. "I'll depend on you from now on. I don't care about material life. Just give me something to eat and don't look down on me."
Shen Weiyang was amused by him: "Silly child, can I still give you a bite of food? Don't worry, come back and live with us. I promised Brother Liu that I would take good care of you. From now on, you will be my brother."
When Liu Xiaowu was accidentally mentioned, the air fell silent again, filled with a faint sadness.
Shen Weiyang clenched the bag in her hand and said with some guilt: “I’m sorry that I didn’t keep Brother Liu’s body. It was all destroyed in the explosion that day.”
Wu Bai said with relief: "It's okay, I have the things he gave me, and it's good to have a cenotaph. But my mother seems to have nothing left. I originally wanted to bury them together so that I would have a place to mourn in the future."
There was no chance to ask her about her past while in the castle, let alone take away one or two things she used before.
But there's no going back now.
Wu Bai felt somewhat regretful.
Shen Weiyang was also silent for a while, and then suddenly said in surprise: “There is still.”
Wu Bai was stunned and looked at her expectantly: "Really?"
Shen Weiyang nodded: "Really, there is a wedding dress that your mother wore when she was eighteen years old. It's at Chris's place. I was careless and it got a little scratched before, so I wore it too. If you don't mind, I'll give it to you after Chris repairs it."
How could Wu Bai care? He was so grateful that he couldn't express it clearly.
He looked at Shen Weiyang with tears in his eyes, and was very moved: "Thank you, Sister Weiyang, you helped my parents to get justice and kept my mother's belongings. These are so important to me. I am really grateful that you can do so much for me."
Shen Weiyang patted his shoulder with pity: "Even if it weren't for Brother Liu's previous instructions, I have always taken care of you as a younger brother. Just say that I have never been distant with you over the years?"
