He could only watch in pain as his family members died with their eyes wide open.
Xiao Ce's expression gradually became numb, and he kept telling himself that he was only trying to protect his family.
Xue Wanqiu was also in pain. She had been fond of Wei Lin from the beginning, so even though she knew that Wei Lin's family was only adoptive, she still contacted them early on. The Wei family treated her well, but she only saw the description of them when she read the book. Now these living people died in front of her, which had a great shock to her.
Fang Zhiyi looked indifferent. The scene before him had no impact on him. However, Yin Tao lowered her head and stared at her toes. She had never expected this senior to be a lunatic! Too cruel!
The tormenting time gradually passed, and no one in the Wei family was spared.
The numb Liu Yan and Xiao Ce stepped forward to report, and the eunuch hurriedly confiscated the sharp blades in their hands.
Because Fang Zhiyi did not have three palaces and six courtyards, many houses in the palace were empty, so these families were locked up in different places that day. The strange thing was that all three families were together, and only Wei Lin was alone.
Of course, Xue Wanqiu was a bit miserable, because her whole family had been in danger of death. Today, they witnessed the annihilation of the Wei family with their own eyes. The Xue family members were all nervous. When they saw the culprit, they kept cursing him, and then they started fighting. Xue Wanqiu's meticulous hair was pulled into disarray, and her face was covered with slap marks and blood marks from fingernails.
Even her parents didn't stop her.
In the second half of the night, Xue Wanqiu, who had been scolded and taught a lesson for half the night, fell into a drowsy sleep, still muttering about the plot, but was then awakened by a eunuch who pushed the door open. The eunuch was holding a lantern, and the light reflected on his wrinkled face, which was indescribably weird.
"Everyone, I have been ordered to bring you some lights."
Without waiting for the Xue family to speak.
The eunuch directed the young eunuchs behind him to bring in a lot of lanterns, which they quickly hung everywhere. Then the group left as if they were avoiding some ghost.
Xue Wanqiu looked at the room which had become much brighter, not understanding what Fang Zhiyi was doing, but she suddenly heard a scream.
"This, this, this lantern!"
Xue Wanqiu didn't understand what was going on until her father pulled her hair and dragged her to a lantern.
"Take a good look! This is the sin you committed!"
Xue Wanqiu first saw the words on the lantern.
"Wei Jun --- the second son of the Wei family, born in --- and died in ---"
Her mind exploded, and a creepy feeling came over her. As her eyes moved down, she saw some features that seemed to be human!
These lanterns are made of human skin by the Wei family!
For a moment, the house was filled with ghosts howling and everyone moved away from the light. But after a while, they suddenly realized their fate. Xue Wanqiu, still in a daze, noticed the hateful gazes from her loved ones. She shrank back into the shadows, her mind racing through the plot. There had to be a way! But because she had disrupted the plot first, allowing Fang Zhiyi to take the position, she had no idea what would happen next.
The same thing happened in the place where the Xiao family and the Liu family lived.
Fortunately, Fang Zhiyi did not do anything to them. He just moved them to another place the next day. This was a palace built by the old emperor. It was already abandoned and had a large area.
