Qu Jingyun slowly picked up her pen and began writing a letter.
This letter is for Shen Yunting.
Not for any other reason than to tell him what has happened recently.
The letter quickly reached Shen Yunting's hands.
His usually stern face softened into a gentle smile, as if spring frost had melted away.
"Is this a letter from your wife?" A woman's voice suddenly came from behind.
Shen Yunting gave a soft hum and then, without turning around, eagerly opened the envelope.
Upon seeing what Qu Jingyun had written, he frowned, his eyes filled with heartache.
There are many trivial matters to attend to at home, and Qu Jingyun must have suffered a lot of grievances over the years.
Whenever he thought of this, Shen Yunting felt deeply indebted.
The woman beside him leaned closer, wanting to see the contents of the letter.
But Shen Yunting easily dodged it.
Seeing how carefully he put the letter away, she teased, "The general and his wife are truly a loving couple; I envy them."
"My wife and I have been married for nearly twenty years, and we have spent most of that time apart. I owe her this."
Shen Yunting sighed deeply, the image of the girl in red constantly appearing in his mind.
He did miss her after not seeing her for so long.
The woman couldn't help but exclaim with envy, "Looking at how loving the general and his wife are, I'm starting to yearn for marriage. I wish I could have a husband as good as the general."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Yunting looked over.
Her heart skipped a beat, her cheeks flushed, and she stared intently at the man in front of her.
Unexpectedly, the other person only glanced at her briefly before quickly looking away.
The woman felt a sense of loss.
Then Shen Yunting continued, "Don't worry, it will happen. When we return to the capital, I will have my wife arrange for you to marry a man from the General's Mansion. You will definitely not be wronged."
The woman's eyes grew increasingly disappointed.
This is not what she wanted.
She took a deep breath and mustered her courage to continue speaking.
But Shen Yunting carefully arranged the letter and placed it close to his heart before turning and quickly leaving.
Is this because they can't wait to go back and reply?
The woman watched him leave, and her spirits immediately sank.
I wonder who this general's wife is? How could she have captured the general's heart so firmly?
She really wanted to see for herself.
A few days later, everything settled down.
The Fifth Prince was not implicated; all the evidence pointed to Lin Qingping alone.
Lin Qingping was imprisoned and awaiting her fate.
This time, the surrounding area was under extremely tight security, making it virtually impossible for anyone to rescue them.
Since being imprisoned, Lin Qingping has been severely tortured, revealing everything she knows, and her body is covered in scars.
Despair was all that remained in her eyes.
This time, it seems no one will be able to save her.
Once again, she was carelessly thrown into prison. She collapsed to the ground and gave a bitter smile.
She was a princess, how did she end up like this!
Footsteps approached her ear, but she didn't lift her eyelids.
It doesn't matter who it is anymore.
"Lin Qingping." A familiar soft call came, and Lin Qingping's body suddenly trembled.
She struggled to lift her head, and through her blurry vision, she met Chen Song's gaze, which was filled with hatred.
A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips: "You've come. Did you come to save me?"
"What do you think?" Chen Song gritted his teeth, every word filled with bone-chilling hatred.
He was completely open and honest with the person in front of him.
But the other party...
"Did you ever love me?" Shen Song couldn't help but ask again.
He really wanted to know the answer.
"Of course I love you," Lin Qingping replied without hesitation.
But this time, Shen Song will not believe her again.
He just shook his head self-deprecatingly.
He half-squatted down, looking at the person in front of him with deep sorrow.
“You are no longer of any value. The Emperor will grant you a quick death. Considering the years you have been with me, I beg the Emperor to allow me to do it myself, so that we can settle our score.”
Lin Qingping tugged at the corners of her mouth, but the light in her eyes dimmed instantly.
She shouldn't have had any hope in people.
"I knew it. Someone as useless as you can't save me."
"Do you think I'd be stupid enough to save you after you nearly ruined the entire Shen family?" Shen Song asked coldly. "Do you think I'm that stupid in your eyes?"
"What else?" Lin Qingping retorted, "If you weren't stupid, how could you have been manipulated by me and Qi Yun'er?"
"Shen Song, you are so pathetic. No one in this world loves you; everyone only uses you."
Shen Song's expression darkened, but he quickly regained his composure.
"No, someone loves me."
“My mother and father, my two brothers and sisters-in-law and my wife, they all love me.”
"You're just fooling yourself. They'll only despise you as a good-for-nothing, just like I do." Lin Qingping struggled to get up.
She leaned against the wall, looking at Chen Song with a mocking expression.
"Don't you think you're a piece of trash? If it weren't for your mother, you would have died long ago."
"She is my mother. Even though I hurt her repeatedly, she still saved me. She loves me."
At this moment, Chensong was calmer than ever before.
It seems like I've figured out a lot of things from before.
Lin Qingping's smile froze.
She wanted to retort, but then she saw that Chen Song had already opened the door and walked in slowly.
"What are you going to do to me?" Lin Qingping kept shrinking back until she was in a corner.
"I'll give you a quick death. You probably don't want to continue living such a painful life, do you?" Chen Song moved his hand close to Lin Qingping's neck and slowly applied pressure.
"I don't want to die, please let me go." The pride that had been on Lin Qingping's face was gone.
Even if it's just barely clinging to life, she wants to live.
She was a princess of the previous dynasty, and she was still waiting to enjoy wealth and honor; she couldn't die here.
However, Chen Song did not give her that chance.
He tightened his grip, and Lin Qingping's face turned red. Her struggling hand slowly fell to the side until she stopped moving.
"Let's be ordinary people in our next life," Chen Song said softly, then tossed the person aside and turned to leave.
it's all over.
Chen Song returned to the general's mansion with heavy steps.
As he walked, he seemed to be unable to hear the sounds around him.
Of all the vastness of heaven and earth, only he remained.
Until a familiar voice reached my ears, instantly dispelling the fog.
His eyes gradually cleared, and he followed the direction of the sound.
Before long, the owner of the voice was spotted.
"Xue'er".
Chen Song called out softly, ran over quickly, and opened his arms to hug Yin Xue.
But the other party dodged it, leaving him standing there helplessly.
"What are you doing?" Yin Xue frowned.
"You probably already know what's been happening lately," Chen Song said cautiously.
He saw the wariness in Yin Xue's eyes and couldn't help but feel hurt.
