After seeing who was coming, Su Wanti's heart sank. She felt cold all over, her upper and lower teeth chattered together, and she shivered uncontrollably.
Three years ago, after she faked her death and left, Dugu Cang avenged her.
He Anping was soon executed and his family was exiled to the border.
Later, Su Wanti's grandfather went to inquire about the whereabouts of the He family and found that the He family encountered bandits on the way to the place of exile and no one was left alive.
Was this arranged by Dugu Cang? Su Wanti thought to herself.
This was not the end. After that, Dugu Cang was like a man with a rage that he could not vent, so he used harsh and ruthless methods to deal with a group of officials from top to bottom.
Among them are those who engage in corruption and accept bribes.
There are also those who abuse their power for personal gain and engage in corruption.
etc.
The sentence was determined by the amount of profit. If the profit was less than 200 taels, the official would be stripped of his official robe and beaten with 30 sticks. If the profit was more than 500 taels, he would be thrown into prison for ten years. If the profit was more than 1,000 taels, he would be sentenced to death. If the profit was more than 10,000 taels, the criminal would be sentenced to death and his entire family would be exiled.
If an official has innocent lives on his hands, he will be sentenced to death without considering the amount of profit.
For a while, there was panic in the court and the country. Everyone was worried that something would be found out about them, and they would lose their official hats and their lives.
Even after the officialdom was rectified, Dugu Cang's anger had not subsided.
He began to lead troops personally to suppress bandits in various places.
Dugu Cang had no weak soldiers under his command, and he was good at deployment. Wherever he went, he beat the bandits so hard that they didn't even have the strength to fight back. Within two days, they would all be killed by Dugu Cang.
Dugu Cang ordered his men to hang the bandits' bodies on the walls of the surrounding cities as a warning.
The common people praised the might of the Regent, and the evildoers were frightened and stopped, not daring to do evil again.
After the bandits in the Great Qi State were wiped out, Dugu Cang returned to the capital and found an excuse to start attacking the power of the aristocratic families.
The power of the aristocratic families is like a century-old tree, with intricate roots and solid as a rock. It cannot be shaken by the power of one person.
This time, Dugu Cang seemed to have completely disregarded his own life and death. He acted ruthlessly and mercilessly, offending many aristocratic families.
Su Wanti vaguely felt that in the past three years, Dugu Cang had become more cruel and tyrannical, and his repeated reckless actions were related to her.
If it really has something to do with him, how furious would Dugu Cang be when he finds out that he was deceived and used by him?
By then, not to mention my own life, even my mother's life, Suyun's life, Chunxing's life, and my grandparents' lives would be in danger...
And Miaomiao...
Thinking of Miaomiao, Su Wanti's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a hint of fearlessness appeared in her desperate and helpless eyes.
Her cheeks were slightly cool and wet, the tears that had just flowed unconsciously due to the sudden and huge fear.
Su Wanti's limbs were sore, but she still managed to stand up and walked step by step to Dugu Cang.
"Give me back my mother and child!" she said through gritted teeth.
Dugu Cang took off his hat, and a pair of deep eyes on his thin cheeks shone with a faint light. The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was smiling, just like a cruel beast that finally caught the prey it had been chasing for a long time.
I haven't seen her for three years, but her appearance seems to have not changed at all, she still looks the same as I remember.
It's just that his skin is a little darker than before, and he looks more energetic.
"Su Wanti, that child is..." His voice was deep and searching.
Su Wanti looked into his eyes and said seriously, "It's yours. Miaomiao is your biological child. You can't hurt him!"
Hearing this, Dugu Cang raised the corners of his mouth and a smile flashed in his eyes.
It’s great that he and his younger sister have a child. The child is the combination of their blood and a lifelong bond between them.
Ten days ago, his subordinates accidentally discovered while on a mission that Su Wanti was still alive and living with her family in this coastal town.
After Dugu Cang received the news, he set out from the capital, traveled day and night, and arrived at this small town three days ago.
Then he saw Su Wanti living with her mother, two maids, and a little baby.
The little doll's eyebrows and eyes looked exactly like his when he was a child.
At that moment, Dugu Cang felt a deep joy in his heart.
After learning that Su Wanti had faked her death and that she had escaped and was living in seclusion in a peaceful town, Dugu Cang was almost filled with anger and resentment.
Combining the events of the He Mansion and the Princess, he realized that he had been deceived and used by Su Wanti.
His infatuation and care for her became a dagger for her to stab others.
After taking advantage of him, Su Wanti abandoned him and left without looking back.
She would rather take the two maids away than tell me the truth...
At that moment, Dugu Cang was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.
However, when he saw Su Wanti sitting alive under the flower vines, embroidering a silk handkerchief, the anger and resentment in his heart suddenly faded away.
As long as she is alive.
As long as she never leaves me again.
Later, he saw a little boy rushing towards Su Wanti and calling her "Mother".
And that little boy looked exactly like him when he was a child.
It's his child.
She pretended to be dead and fled the capital, fled from herself, but gave birth to her own child and raised him well by her side...
Does this mean that Su Wanti has him in her heart?
Dugu Cang's eyes darkened. This time, no matter whether it was Su Wanti or their child, he would hold them firmly in his hands and would never let them leave him again.
Now, it's time to teach this woman a lesson and let her experience the pain of heartache.
So that she wouldn't dare to do anything behind his back anymore.
"Heh—" Dugu Cang snorted coldly, his indifferent eyes glaring at the woman in front of him, his thin lips slightly parted, "You said he is my child, how does his facial features resemble mine?"
"Su Wanti, are you going to lie to me again?"
