On the way back, both of them were silent.
Tang Wan couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
It could be considered as revenge, but seeing her like that, I subconsciously felt a bit of pity for her.
Maybe it was because she was pregnant that she was becoming more sentimental.
However, wasn't the current situation caused by her biased parents and Tang Qingyue?
They can't blame anyone.
However, seeing her looking crazy, I still felt a little uncomfortable.
It’s like your old enemy of many years is suddenly killed by a single sentence without even having a chance to react.
However, she was very happy that He Yi could die, and she was filled with pleasure. She almost wanted to torture him to death with her own hands.
However, this is ultimately a luxury.
She hated him so much that she wanted to kill him with her own hands.
She didn't want to delegate to others, as that would be too frustrating.
She leaned in Mo Tingzhu's arms, and somehow, tears rolled down her eyes.
Mo Tingzhu seemed to sense her emotions and held her in his arms to comfort her.
"Tingzhu, my heart is so confused right now."
"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you. Just do whatever you want. With me here, no one can touch you."
If the uncle wanted to punish him, he would take the blame. He couldn't let his wife suffer any injustice.
Tang Wan looked at his eyes, which were much gentler than when they first met, and her heart was touched, as if it was gently scratched by a feather.
"I know that even if the sky falls, you will hold it up for me." There was a smile on her face, but when you looked closely, you felt a little touched and aggrieved.
.................
When the officers and soldiers arrived at the residence of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, He's mother was drinking tea with a few friends, showing off her son as usual.
In her life, she had two things to brag about. The first was that she married a good husband who loved her and never took a concubine. In the huge Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery Mansion, she was the only mistress.
There are no illegitimate sons or daughters at all, which makes me feel very relieved.
As for the second thing, it was that she gave birth to a good son. Her son was not only smart since childhood, but also appreciated by the emperor. He became a Jinshi and inherited the title. He was also extremely filial to her, his mother.
Therefore, every time she was at a banquet, she couldn't help but mention her children.
Although this child is not as loyal as his father, he is her child after all, so she will still indulge him a little more. As long as he doesn't make too much trouble, she generally won't pursue it.
She had always been proud of her son, so when the officers and soldiers came to her house, she thought her son had done something great again and these people were sent by the emperor to reward him.
But who would have thought that those people would start searching and ransacking the house without even saying hello.
"What are you doing? My son is the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. If this gets reported to the emperor, how many heads will you have chopped off?" She put her hands on her hips, looking furious.
But there was always something wrong in my heart. My heart was beating too fast, as if something big was about to happen.
The leading officer snorted coldly, "What do you mean by 'Loyal and Brave Marquis'? He collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. His Majesty has long since stripped him of his title and he is now a commoner. His Majesty has sentenced all nine clans to death. All the gold and silver in the Marquis' mansion shall be confiscated into the national treasury."
Hearing this, He's mother was in disbelief for a moment. Her son was so outstanding. She had been envied by others from her teenage years to middle age. Who wouldn't envy her for marrying a good husband and giving birth to a good son?
How could it be? This was simply impossible. Her child was so filial and so worry-free. How could it be possible?
She anxiously tugged at the officer's sleeve and said, "I remember you. You are my son's colleague. This can't be true. My son is so loyal to His Majesty, how could he possibly be collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?"
"Let go. He Shuren is collaborating with the enemy and treason. The evidence has been handed to Your Majesty. It is already an ironclad fact. Don't bother with it any further, otherwise, the sword will have no eyes."
The soldier drew out the sword in his hand. The white light of the sword hurt her eyes and she subconsciously let go of her hand.
The next moment, she fell to the ground. Mother He felt a buzzing in her head, her eyes went blank, her blood rushed up, and she vomited a mouthful of blood in a few breaths.
She pounded her chest, trying hard to calm down, but it was all in vain.
She lived a glorious life, but she never expected that in the end, she would be angered to death by her most beloved son.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, and the blood in her throat had blocked her throat. Her lips moved a few times, and then she closed her eyes and never woke up again.
The last thing she said was, "My Lord, I'm sorry."
I am sorry for you. I didn't teach Yier well. If I had been more attentive, if I had disciplined him more strictly, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
He's mother truly loved her son, but because she loved him too much, to the point of being somewhat indulgent, she raised him to have such a bold and reckless character.
Of course, this also has some reasons with He Yi's later travel.
When the officer saw that she was dead, he cursed her bad luck, took off all the valuable gold and silver jewelry from her body, and kicked her.
"She's lucky. Otherwise, the punishment His Majesty would have arranged would have been much more painful than this."
None of He's mother's friends came from wealthy families. When she talked about her promising son, she felt envious, but that was all she could do.
After all, not everyone is so lucky and can live such a smooth life like her.
They didn't dislike such showing off, after all, He's mother was not bad to them, and would give them some good things.
Apart from having a big mouth and being a bit of a show-off, he has almost no other shortcomings.
Several people had never seen such a grand scene before. They were all shocked for a moment and stood there, stunned.
"Those of you in the corner, are you also from the He family?"
Several women, almost frightened by this question, waved their hands repeatedly: "No, no, sir, we just came here for tea, we didn't expect anything like this to happen, we didn't know anything about it."
"If you don't know, leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives sees you, you won't be able to leave even if you want to."
It was an older woman who bowed to him and said, "Thank you, sir. We will be leaving now."
When they left, they stepped over He's mother's body, all with their eyes tightly closed and holding hands before they dared to take a step.
When I got out of the door, I found that my hands were already covered with a thin layer of sweat.
After they walked a few hundred steps away, they finally felt like they were alive again.
"Oh my goodness, how could there be such a big fuss? Didn't Yidi say her son was very promising? How could he be so desperate as to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason?"
