Seeing Leng Qiuling's desperate and painful appearance, Su Yan felt extremely distressed and could only watch helplessly as Leng Qiuling's emotions became more and more agitated.
Looking at Leng Qiuling's mad appearance, Madam Yan angrily cursed, "You little slut, even if my son did something wrong, you can come to me to ask for justice. He went against my wishes to take you into the family, promising you a life of wealth and luxury, and that you would repay kindness with enmity."
"After you give birth to my child, I want you to be buried with my son."
Leng Qiuling looked coldly at Madam Yan, who was shouting herself hoarse, and laughed even more heartily. At this moment, the accusations and curses could no longer stir up a ripple in her heart.
He simply watched coldly as Yan Hong and Madam Yan suffered.
At this moment, the sun was setting, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds that seemed to dye the sky completely, as if to draw the best curtain for the day.
What you sow in this world, you will reap.
The cycle of nature, cause and effect, and retribution.
Yan Hong had barely managed to suppress his emotions because of the child, but when he saw Leng Qiuling kill his son and show no remorse whatsoever, a surge of anger rushed to his head.
She instinctively gripped the longsword tighter, and at that moment, Leng Qiuling's previously smiling face suddenly turned pained.
She coughed up a mouthful of blood, her face contorted in pain.
Seeing this, Su Yan quickly helped Leng Qiuling up and took her pulse.
When Su Yan lifted Leng Qiuling's sleeve, she saw that her arm was covered with dark purple and black lines, and realized that something was wrong.
Looking at the weak Leng Qiuling in his arms with disbelief, he questioned, "Miss Leng, did you take poison?"
Despite the pain, Leng Qiuling gave a frank smile, as if in response to Su Yan's question.
Upon seeing this, everyone, especially the Yan family, became extremely anxious upon hearing that Leng Qiuling had taken poison. They frantically called for help, fearing that they might lose the baby in her womb.
"Imperial Physician, go and fetch the Imperial Physician..."
Seeing Yan Hong and Madam Yan's panicked and frightened appearance, Su Yan found it extremely ridiculous. Just a moment ago, they were clamoring for Leng Qiuling to pay for his son's life, but now they were earnestly praying that she would not die.
It's utterly ridiculous and incredibly ironic.
The scene was chaotic for a moment. Su Yan called out to the Yan family, "No need, it's too late. The poison has already seeped into his heart. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he couldn't save him."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yan burst into tears of despair, crying out, "What terrible things have I done... Why is God treating me like this..."
Su Yan ignored the Yan family.
Knowing that Leng Qiuling had taken a slow-acting poison, he lifted her collar and saw that the poisonous markings had spread to her chest, realizing that Leng Qiuling was now at her last gasp.
Like a candle in the wind, it will be extinguished with a single breath.
Su Yan's gaze fell on the teacup on the stone table, and she instantly realized something. "You poisoned the tea?"
Leng Qiuling smiled weakly and replied, "I didn't want to live anymore a long time ago. Being able to give up Yan Shuo and Meng Heng's lives, I think my life was worth it..."
Su Yan looked helplessly at Leng Qiuling and sighed softly, "Why are you doing this to yourself..."
"Lord Su, you are a good official. Rest assured, there is no poison in your teacups. I wish I had met you sooner."
Unfortunately, fate is cruel. Don't grieve for me if I die. I've never regretted my decisions; on the contrary, I'm glad I never gave up on my destiny..."
"Miss Leng, you are also a good woman. I hope you can meet a good man in your next life and live happily ever after with him."
Hearing Su Yan's blessings, Leng Qiuling felt genuinely happy, her eyes filled with anticipation, "It definitely will..."
Having said that, Leng Qiuling used all her strength to grab Su Yan's hand, and whispered breathlessly, "Lord Su, before I die, may I ask you for one thing..."
Su Yan quickly grasped Leng Qiuling's outstretched hand, nodded, and said, "Just say it... I'll agree to whatever you say."
Leng Qiuling reached out and touched her belly. "Lord Su, you are the coroner. Could you please help me take the baby out from behind me? I'm so sorry for this child. I beg you, Lord Su, please let it be reborn cleanly and not have to encounter a mother like me again."
"Miss Leng, I promise you..."
Seeing Su Yan agree, Leng Qiuling wore a peaceful smile and, with her last bit of strength, said to Su Yan, "Thank you......"
After saying that, Leng Qiuling's breathing gradually weakened, her eyes lost focus, and soon, she died in Su Yan's arms.
When Yan Hong saw that Leng Qiuling was dead, he was somewhat incredulous. He squatted down and reached out to check her pulse. After waiting and feeling no pulse, large tears fell down his face.
Su Yan felt utterly disgusted by the sight of the Yan family members weeping and grieving, and gave Xie Yu a look.
Xie Yu immediately understood. "Yan Zhuguo, now that the real culprit has been brought to justice, we still need to take the body back to the Forensic Center. We'll take our leave now."
After saying that, Xie Yu walked towards Su Yan, picked up Leng Qiuling from her arms, and headed towards the door.
Now that Leng Qiuling is a corpse, she means nothing to the Yan family, so they did not stop Xie Yu from taking her away.
Perhaps Madam Yan was crying too sadly, because Yan Hong got up and returned to his side, embracing her in his arms, like two people walking in the cold night, warming each other.
Su Yan was almost at the door when she saw the backs of the Yan couple leaning against each other. In the end, Yan Shuo's arrogant and domineering personality was due to his parents' pampering.
“Yan Zhuguo, I have an eight-year-old son. Over the years, I have suddenly come to understand a truth: spoiling a child is like killing a child. The current situation is entirely due to your pampering of Yan Shuo, and has nothing to do with Leng Qiuling. In the end, you two are also murderers.”
After saying this, Su Yan felt much better. She didn't care what the Yan couple could understand, and without turning her head, she left the courtyard.
The couple, Yan Hong and his wife, embraced and wept bitterly. Perhaps Yan Hong had realized his mistake, but it was too late for regrets.
No sooner had Su Yan stepped out of the Yan residence than Shen Yao arrived in haste with the Imperial Guards.
When Xie Yu saw that the woman he was holding was Leng Qiuling, he couldn't help but be startled. "What happened? Am I too late?"
Although Shen Yao didn't know what had happened, seeing everyone's solemn expressions, and considering Leng Qiuling's appearance, he realized that something bad had occurred.
It is speculated that the conflict between Su Yan and the Yan family may have been caused by their late arrival.
Seeing that Shen Yao had misunderstood, Su Yan, though feeling down, patiently explained to him, "Lord Shen, it has nothing to do with you. Miss Leng committed suicide."
"suicide?"
After listening, Shen Yao looked completely bewildered. He remembered that Leng Qiuling was perfectly fine yesterday, so how could she suddenly commit suicide?
Su Yan sighed deeply, "I'll explain it to you on the way."
After saying that, Su Yan boarded the carriage placed on Leng Qiuling's body.
