The one wailing was the groom from the Ling family.
Because of his age and hearing impairment, he did not hear the sounds from the front yard while sleeping in the stable.
By the time he realized what was happening, the entire Ling family had been killed.
Madam Ling was disemboweled, and her two children had their throats slit with a long sword.
The ground was stained red with blood; everywhere was blood, all red.
Looking at the small, thin corpse on the ground, Qin Yue Zhao felt a tremor run through her body, and a rush of blood surged to her head.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she roared at the night: "Beasts, you bunch of beasts!"
"If you're so capable, come at me! Why are you harming innocent children? They're only six years old!"
However, her voice was swallowed up by the biting cold wind and darkness before it could travel far.
Chen Wan'er had never seen His Highness so sad. She wanted to go forward, but Zheng Hu grabbed her arm.
Zheng Hu, his face deathly pale, pointed towards Ling Tianen's guest room, his voice trembling:
"Miss Wan'er, something terrible has happened! General Yue's family members and General Qi's wife, who were in the Ling family's guest room, have all been killed!"
Chen Wan'er froze.

I never expected that they would all be killed after only two days of living there.
If General Yue and General Qi found out, what would they think?

Almost simultaneously, the city's garrison spurred their horses and galloped towards Qin Yue Zhao, shouting:
"Your Highness, Huangfu Shaohua has led General Yue and General Qi into the city!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several warhorses charged into the general's mansion with the force of lightning.
General Yue and General Qi leaped off their horses, and upon seeing the tragically murdered bodies of their loved ones, they rushed towards them like madmen.
"Ah! Madam, my son, what's wrong with you?"
General Yue, weary from his journey, had just settled the cavalry's quarters outside the city and hadn't even had a chance to rest when he heard this devastating news. He was furious, like a lion, and glared at Qin Yue Zhao.
General Qi, holding his wife whose body had been separated from the family, wept bitterly.
"What exactly is going on, Your Highness? Didn't you say that General Ling's mansion has no shortage of food and clothing, and that as long as you stay here, you can rest assured and recover your health? Is this what you mean by 'rest assured'?"
General Qi's wife has always been in poor health. Qin Yue Zhao initially wanted to win over the two of them, but she never expected that it would backfire and harm these innocent people.
