If they can abandon the legitimate son, what chance do they have of her, an outsider?
But it was too late for her to change anything.
After this incident, Princess Duanmin completely abandoned her previous weakness and forbearance. She immediately replaced all the people around Madam Ye, dealt with a few troublemakers, and gave them a good talking-to, thus completely taking control of the inner quarters.
Madam Ye began to fall ill, and her condition worsened day by day until she died.
The case of Lan Ying's suicide by jumping into the well has now come to an end.
However, Lan Ying was still not satisfied with the result. "That old woman is heartless and vicious. It's too easy for her to die like this. And Ye Jiayao, that heartless man, was only removed from the family register. It's nothing. What does that matter? We, mother and son, have two lives. They should pay for it."
Jiang Shumiao comforted her, "She's dead now. If you're still not satisfied, you can beat her up again in the underworld. I have a good relationship with the Emperor of Fengdu, so I can ask him to go easy on you. As for Ye Jiayao, he won't have an easy time. A young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth will understand what human suffering is like once he leaves the protection of his family, and what it means to be helpless and have no one to turn to."
“Once his money runs out, he will have to worry about making a living. I looked at his face that day, and I predicted that he would die of hunger and cold.”
Lan Ying burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"Okay, I really want to see him get his comeuppance."
Jiang Shumiao shook her head, "You've lingered in the mortal realm for too long. Go to the underworld and wait to be reincarnated. Your karma in this life is settled; may your next life be smooth sailing."
Lan Ying's eyes welled up with tears, and she bowed to her.
"Thank you, Goddess."
Jiang Shumiao waved her hand, "Go."
Jiang Yining was very interested when she heard that there was more to come, so Jiang Shumiao drew a circle in the air and showed the scene of the underworld to her relatives.
When Lan Ying arrived in the underworld, she ran into Old Madam Ye. It was an unexpected encounter, and they immediately started fighting.
A new soul is naturally no match for an old soul.
The ghost messengers around him only offered a few token words of advice and did nothing of substance.
It wasn't until Lan Ying had beaten Li Shi so badly that her soul was almost broken that she stepped forward to stop her.
Having witnessed the miserable state of his enemy, Lan Ying finally vented his anger and laughed as he strode away.
Jiang Yining was dumbfounded.
"Can ghosts feel pain when they get beaten up?"
"Of course, and it's ten or a hundred times more painful than physical pain." Jiang Shumiao explained to everyone, "Moreover, someone like Old Madam Ye, whose hands are stained with countless lives, will have to go through mountains of knives and boiling oil, and will also have to suffer torture in the eighteen levels of hell. I reckon she can only be reborn as an animal for at least ten lifetimes."
Jiang Yiqing said, "The laws in the underworld are much stricter than those in the human world."
Jiang Yining then asked, "What about Ye Jiayao?"
"Him?"
Jiang Shumiao curled her lips, "His last period of life will be miserable, but he didn't directly harm anyone, so his sentence after death won't be too severe. However, he can forget about being born into a wealthy family in his next life; he'll live a life of poverty and hardship."
