Three days later, at the execution ground, a command was given, and Pei Yurou's life came to an end. Her tragedy was nothing more than the consequence of her many evil deeds.
Meanwhile, the Shen family is making intensive preparations for Shen Mingzhao and Su Lingwei's wedding.
The festive atmosphere was everywhere, a stark contrast to the despair in the death row.
When news of Pei Yurou's execution reached the Pei family, Madam Qin fainted on the spot.
Upon waking, she clutched Pei Yurou's memorial tablet and wept uncontrollably until her voice was hoarse. She kept repeating the same phrase: "It was Shen Mingzhao! He killed my daughter! I want him to pay with his life!"
Pei's father sat to one side, his face deathly pale and his eyes vacant. In just a few days, his daughter had been beheaded, and his only grandson, Pei Jindan, had also succumbed to blood loss.
He lost two close relatives in succession.
He seemed to have lost his soul, muttering to himself, "His children are all gone... the golden egg is gone... the Pei family is doomed..."
Xiao Qinshi's eyes were also red, but not for Pei Yurou or Pei Jindan.
It was for her own future. She looked at Da Qin's mad appearance...
Thinking of the deceased Pei Jindan again, the seeds of resentment in her heart grew wildly.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
Clutching Qin Shi's arm, her voice trembled, "Sister, do you remember what we did to Pei Wuwang's mother back then... She was so frail back then, and we tormented her to the point of being unrecognizable, and then she died mysteriously..."
Da Qin suddenly raised her head, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, which was then replaced by resentment.
She forcefully shook off Xiao Qinshi's hand and gritted her teeth, saying, "So what if I remember? That bitch took the place that should have been mine, she deserved to be tormented! If it weren't for her...!"
"that is!"
Madam Qin chimed in, her eyes filled with malice, "She's a jinx, it would be better if she were dead! It's just a pity we didn't kill that little bastard Pei Wuwang along with her! Now look what's happened, he's turned around and caused our family's ruin!"
The two sisters exchanged a glance, showing no remorse whatsoever, and instead shifted all the blame onto Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang.
They knelt on the ground, frantically cursing the air: "Shen Mingzhao! Shen Qingtang! You will die a horrible death! I curse you to be childless! I curse your businesses to fail! I curse you to meet a terrible end!"
The venomous curses echoed in the empty Pei family home, carrying a chilling and sinister tone.
Meanwhile, the Shen family was immersed in a joyous atmosphere. Shen Mingzhao and Su Lingwei's wedding was scheduled for three days later.
The betrothal gifts had already been delivered to Su Lingwei's courtyard in a grand manner, with silks, satins, gold and silver jewelry piled up like a small mountain, and the entire Luanshi Village was immersed in joy.
When Su Lingwei's grandfather and cousin learned of the news, they also wanted to join in the fun and even hoped to use the wedding to curry favor with the Shen family.
But Su Lingwei had long since lost all hope in them. She had someone block her from entering and said in an icy tone, "When my family was destroyed, you never offered a helping hand. Instead, you kicked me when I was down. Now that I'm getting married, I don't need your help anymore. From now on, we are severing all ties and have nothing to do with each other."
The Su family members, who were turned away, turned pale and then red, but dared not say anything and could only slink away.
On the wedding day, the Shen family home was brightly decorated, filled with guests, and laughter filled the air.
Shen Qingtang, dressed in an exquisite gown, sat in the main seat with Pei Nian'an, watching Shen Mingzhao in his wedding attire, nervously and expectantly waiting for the bride, her eyes full of smiles.
Pei Wuwang stood beside her, gently took her hand, and whispered, "Our wedding in the future will be even more lively than this."
