After arranging everything, Shang Tian turned his gaze to Elder Wang.
"Is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Seeing Shang Tian's sharp gaze, Old Wang shook his head slightly, "It is my fault."
He never imagined that Peng San, who had no ambition whatsoever, would hand over the entire Linhai City to Shang Tian with nothing but his own hands.
Such talents are truly rare in this world!
Shang Tian stood up, looked at his men, and said, "Come with me, all of you."
"yes."
The group left the study, carrying Wang Dabian towards the edge of the village, and the curious villagers couldn't help but follow.
Shang Tian turned around and frowned slightly. "The two of them will be burned at the stake. The children should all go back."
If an illness develops from this, there may be no medicine available.
Once they were far from the village, Shang Tian ordered his men to stay away from Wang Lao and his son, summoning lightning that struck only the father and son. "No."
Everyone's heart leaped at the sound of that mournful scream.
The moment the lightning struck Wang and his son, they were instantly reduced to ashes.
When Peng San and the scholar arrived, they just witnessed the last scene, and their faces turned pale instantly.
At this moment, they couldn't help but feel fortunate that they hadn't offended Shang Tian.
Otherwise, who knows if what happened to Wang Lao and his son today will be their tomorrow?
"Husband!" Madam Lu cried out in horror at the scene.
No matter how despicable Wang Da may be, he is still her husband who has been with her for many years and Heng'er's biological father.
Seeing her rush towards the pile of ashes without regard for anything else, Peng San felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He was the one who met her first, and he tried his best to treat her well when he saw her again, but why, why is she still thinking about that man?
Peng San felt that the world was shrouded in a gray haze, with only Lu Shi present.
“Madam,” he called out.
He asked for nothing else, only... only... that she would turn around and look at him once.
Everyone looked at him with some sympathy. How much courage must he have mustered and how much ridicule must he have endured to marry a woman who had been married before?
His wife, however, was heartbroken because of her ex-husband.
The scholar stood behind Peng San, sighed deeply, and said, "Not long ago, my master said that to have me by his side for the rest of his life was..."
Peng San turned to look at him and asked, "Do you also think I'm stupid?"
To appease her, he even said she looked a lot like his mother.
He didn't care whether she had remarried or whether she had someone else in her heart; he only wanted... he only wanted her to have a little bit of his shadow in her heart.
Peng San silently turned around and walked home.
His back was somewhat hunched, and his long shadow followed behind him, exuding an indescribable loneliness.
The scholar sighed and followed behind him, saying, "Master, in the future..."
“There’s no future. Arrange for her to live in the backyard and raise the child on her own.” He remained silent for a long time before saying in a dry voice, “Just send her food and supplies on time, and then... just pretend she doesn’t exist.”
The husband she referred to was not actually him.
It wasn't him...
"Yes," the scholar replied in a low voice, then asked, "Will Master be going out with Shang Tian tomorrow?"
“Of course.” Peng San’s expression darkened. “I can’t just wait to die for a woman.”
Staying in the courtyard was safe and secure, and the food and drink were barely enough, but that was all.
As the head of the Peng family, how could he not shoulder this heavy responsibility?
"Alas." The scholar sighed, unsure how to offer any advice.
Lu's shout was like grinding Peng San's face into the ground.
Even so, Peng San didn't kick her out.
