Seeing this, Dong Xuan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Master, Jingru is still young and doesn't understand things. Please don't take it to heart."
Wei Jinglan squeezed her sister's hand, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. Fortunately, there were still people in this family who cared about her, letting her know that all the patience and perseverance she had endured back then were worthwhile.
He then released Wei Jingru's hand and said with a heart full of despair, "Father, Mother, since you think I have affected my younger brother and sister-in-law, then from now on, I will sever all ties with the Wei family and never have anything to do with them again!"
After saying that, she turned and left, her steps firm and resolute.
"Big sister!"
"Jinglan!"
She heard her mother and sister calling from behind, and paused slightly. Then her father's cold voice rang out: "Let her go! Let's see how long she can live without the Wei family!"
Wei Jinglan smiled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the Wei residence without stopping, heading straight to the inn where Meng Zhao was staying.

She immediately put her hands together and bowed to the sky, saying, "Shen Qinghe, you must hold on for me and don't let anything happen. Whether I succeed or not depends on you."
When Meng Zhao saw Wei Jinglan coming to find her, she noticed that Wei Jinglan's eyes were red and swollen. She kindly didn't ask why, but just told her to rest well. The next morning, the group went to the courtyard together.
Meng Zhao stood in the middle of the courtyard, walking and saying, "Since you did not choose to commit suicide and have survived to this day, you must all be people who cherish life. Since you want to live, I hope you can abandon your previous thoughts and not feel that being hurt is your own problem. You are not wrong, the ones who are wrong are those bandits."
"Furthermore, I've learned that today is the day those bandits will be executed. Anyone who wants to go can go to the execution ground now to watch. If you go too late, you won't get a good spot."
