It can't be said that there was no follow-up, though. His home was raided, and now his wife, children, and grandchildren are all ordinary citizens who have to rely on themselves to make a living.
While he was in prison, he knew nothing about the outside world.
When Mo Yan came to him, Marquis Yongle even thought that perhaps the Princess still had feelings for him, which was why she did not harm him and hid him away.
It turns out he was overthinking things.
Mo Yan brought a lot of food, and seeing the food, Marquis Yongle was even more certain that Mo Yan had not forgotten him.
"Mo Yan..." he called out Mo Yan's name in the most affectionate tone.
Ruo Jiu rushed over and punched him to the ground. He felt something loosen and spat out two teeth.
"I am the Fuwa [Prince Consort]." Without teeth, his speech was already slurred.
“You are not qualified to call the princess by her name.” After Ruojiu finished speaking, she returned to Moyan’s side.
Mo Yan took out the food and slowly began to eat. "Ruo Jiu, give him all the punishments."
Marquis Yongle: "!!!!"
"Didn't you save me? I'm your husband."
Marquis Yongle never expected that Ruojiu would dare to hit him.
“He’s spouting nonsense, cut his tongue out.”
Mo Yan spoke calmly, without the slightest hesitation, and picked up the teacup to drink the tea.
"Yes, Princess."
"Oh, right, I was also thinking of grilling some meat. I cut off slices of his meat, grilled them, and let him eat them himself."
Mo Yan's lips curled up slightly. "Lord Yongle, you chased after me back then, and now I'll settle the score with you slowly."
Marquis Yongle: "!!!"
If Jiu had just arrived, he would have fainted from fright.
"Princess, he has fainted from fright."
Mo Yan: "..."
“Throw him off the cliff, then pick him up and punish him according to the crimes he committed.”
"Princess, what about what you just said?" Ruojiu was a little confused. Should she not do those things?
"Ruo Jiu, no matter what happens, this princess does not want to be blinded by hatred."
He truly deserves to die, but not here. I can come and beat and torture him every day, but I cannot actually kill him, because the law will deal with him.
Ruo Jiu: "..." He was already getting ready to grill the meat.
Marquis Yongle was stripped of his martial arts skills and thrown off a cliff. They then dragged him back and threw him among the officials who had committed offenses.
Before this, Marquis Yongle would be beaten every day.
He was on the verge of death, just one step away from it.
In the end, they were all beheaded and their heads displayed to the public.
Upon hearing the verdict, Marquis Yongle suddenly laughed.
He felt his life was utterly ridiculous, and now it was even more so. He was about to die, to be executed, and he didn't know what to do. In the end, all he could do was laugh.
Of all the officials' family members, some were implicated and exiled, while others were released after it was found that they had no connection to the case.
The wife and children of the Marquis of Yongle were among those who knew nothing about it.
Half a month later, the Marquis of Yongle was executed.
When Mo Yan heard this news, she felt nothing. It seems that to the original owner, this person was already trash.
After doing all this, Mo Yan went to find Kang Weiguo's wife.
Upon seeing Mo Yan, they immediately knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness."
Mo Yan laughed. So Kang Weiguo is blind. His wife is so discerning.
She had already received the letter that her family had no further connection with the princess, all because of that Kang Tinglan.
She knew in her heart that the princess had made her decision, and this was the outcome. She couldn't sacrifice her other two children for the sake of Kang Tinglan or future wealth.
Even without her princess grandmother, she believed her children would be doing very well.
"Get up. Kang Weiguo deserved to die, but it has nothing to do with you. You have always been in the capital. From now on, you are no longer the wife and children of the county magistrate. This is your dowry. You don't need to worry about anyone coming to cause you trouble."
You should teach your child properly from now on, understand?
"Yes, woman, you understand."
Mo Yan nodded and handed her a box.
"This is the money I'm giving them for their future marriages, regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Mo Yan then went to Kang Weimin's house. His wife was also a good person and managed the house very well. When she saw Mo Yan, she immediately knelt down.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
"Get up. There are people coming to visit recently, so don't pay them any attention. I, the princess, only have one son, Weimin. As for you, you can still visit each other. Just don't address each other as brothers."
"Your Highness, please rest assured, your daughter-in-law and sister will no longer see each other. It's not because we have no feelings for each other; I understand your good intentions. Even if we don't see each other, it doesn't mean we have no feelings for each other."
"Then that has nothing to do with me, Princess. Why don't you go to the border town? It's quite nice there. Being separated from your husband for a long time is not a good thing."
Mo Yan had already spoken to the emperor, and that Kang Weimin should stay in the border town for the rest of his life. His personality wasn't suited to leaving, nor was he suited to be given a high-ranking official position. When he got old, he could just inherit her money; he wouldn't have any power at all.
All the income from the princess's fiefdom should be returned to the people; her son doesn't need to rely on his mother.
"Is my daughter-in-law suitable?"
"Of course, why not?"
"The daughter-in-law is willing!" If she can be with her husband, of course she wants to live with him.
Many people were executed on the day of Yongle Marquis's execution, and he thought he was going to die.
...
When she woke up again, she was in a medicine barrel, and Mo Yan was smiling at her not far away.
