"Yan Yan, what should we do with this person?" Lin Yu'an looked at Yang Xiuzhu lying on the ground with disgust.
The victor takes all, and the loser is condemned. Yang Xiuzhu is not feeling triumphant because of the Yang family's victory, and she will not fare well after the Yang family's downfall.
“She’s from the Yang family. The Emperor has already executed the entire Yang family, so she should naturally go to the underworld with them.” As Lu Qingyan spoke, she woke the person up again.
As Lin Yu'an listened, he swiftly brought down the knife, and crimson blood flowed down her neck. Her eyes were still wide open, as if she couldn't believe she was dying like that.
Yang Xiuzhu couldn't quite describe how she felt. Was it regret, disappointment, or some other emotion?
In her previous life, she had never received even a trace of Lin Ke's love. In this life, she received that intense love, but she still couldn't live to grow old with him. Where did she go wrong? Was it a mistake to become a concubine in the Su family from the beginning? But if she hadn't done that, how would she have had any chance to see him in this life?
Lu Qingyan covered her eyes, not knowing what to say. Couldn't this person have chosen another place to make a move? Why did he have to cause such a scene in front of her?
"Let's go." Lin Yu'an still wanted to stay close to her, just in case they encountered any more trouble.
Lu Qingyan followed obediently behind him, and after a few steps, she bumped into Old Madam Lin.
"..."
That's awkward.
"What are you two doing here?" Although the question was directed at the two people, her eyes remained fixed on her son.
Lin Yu'an smiled smugly: "Mother, would you like Miss Su as your daughter-in-law?"
"My son, from the very beginning, I only wanted her to be my granddaughter-in-law." Old Madam Lin felt a slight ache in her teeth. Of all the people her son had chosen, he had to fall for Su Xiaoyao. It wasn't that it was a bad thing, but comparing her former status to her current one made her more likely to attract gossip.
Now that they'd run into each other, Lin Yu'an decided not to hide it any longer: "Mother, I've already asked the Emperor to grant me this marriage. No one outside will gossip."
After all, it's an imperial edict. How could they possibly discuss the emperor? They definitely need to keep their mouths shut.
Madam Lin waved her hand: "As long as you have your own plans, that's fine. I just hope you can marry someone you love and live a good life together, and give me a bunch of grandchildren soon, so I can close my eyes in peace."
Lin Yu'an showered her with sweet words: "Mother, the best days are yet to come. You will surely live to be a hundred and live until your grandson gets married."
Madam Lin's smile widened even more.
However, she remembered something else and asked Lu Qingyan, "Yao'er, does your mother know about this?"
There hadn't been any prior warning, so she was utterly astonished to hear her son's words.
Out of consideration for the old lady's feelings, Lu Qingyan declined, saying, "I haven't shown the imperial edict to my mother yet." So even if she knew, it certainly wasn't me who told her.
Lu Qingyan shifted the blame and looked nervously at Old Madam Lin, unsure how to address her. She used to call her Grandma Lin, but now… she should be called Mother-in-law.
"It's good that she didn't say anything. I'll shamelessly go and talk to her later. Madam Su should agree, and then we can discuss setting a wedding date."
