He breathed a long sigh of relief.
He turned and knelt down before Meng Qingshan. "Father, please forgive me for not being able to fulfill my filial duties to you in the future. I beg you to sever our father-son relationship. Whatever I do in the future will have nothing to do with the Meng family. I will take Ning Yue with me. I will go out and make my way in the world. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will repay your kindness in the future."
Meng Qingshan wept uncontrollably. Gu Shi stumbled out of the inner room. The eldest son's family stopped watching, and the second son's family put away their contempt and ran over together.
When it came to Ning Yue, they felt jealousy and resentment, but when it came to Lao San, their own brother who had grown up with them, they felt the same way.
Linghu Lan sneered.
She was just testing it out, but she didn't expect Meng Zhuo to actually know everything.
He actually abandoned his parents and eloped for Ning Yue.
He truly dares to act.
It's just a pity for the original owner, who was as pitiful as Lan Qinyu.
No, she's even more pitiful than Lan Qinyu.
Lan Qinyu's parents treated her like a beautiful young lady, dressing her up and preparing her for sale.
What about the original owner? She was just a laborer in the family, always eager to do the dirty and tiring work, never shirking the hard and heavy tasks. There was truly no one more worry-free and honest person than her.
However, honest people are also the easiest to be forgotten.
She died, and no one avenged her.
Her husband and relatives knew that her body had been possessed, but they were still willing to support the person who possessed her body. They even complained that she had become a ghost and why she hadn't gone to hell yet, and why she was making a fuss when she came back.
They despised her, for she had disrupted their peaceful and prosperous future.
They want to bury this truth deep inside, in a deep pit, so that it will never see the light of day again.
Human nature is inherently selfish.
Meng Qingshan touched Meng Zhuo's face, tears streaming down his face. Gu Shi hugged him tightly, calling him her darling. The eldest and second eldest glared at Linghu Lan, looking fierce as if they wanted to close the door and beat the three of them to death.
With tears in her eyes, Madam Gu pleaded, "Grandma, please have mercy and spare our family! Who can truly understand the affairs of the underworld? Even if Yue'er possessed her body, Yue'er didn't know, and she's innocent too!"
After pleading with Linghu Lan, she still felt it wasn't enough. Facing the autumn wind covering the ground, she wailed, "Yue'er, Yue'er, I beg you, please let Zhuo'er go, please let our family go! You're already dead, that was your fate! For the sake of how well I treated you when you were alive, please let us go!"
In the eerie wind, Qin Ya paused for a moment, then seemed to become angry.
She suddenly unleashed an even stronger gust of cold wind, which swept across everyone's necks, as if they might be stabbed if they weren't careful.
Linghu Lan was speechless. Was this some kind of moral blackmail?
"You're right, she truly didn't mean to get involved with Ning Yue. However, she shouldn't have framed Lan Qinyu and even plotted to sell her to the Prince's mansion. Tu Sanniang of the Prince's mansion originally didn't want to buy Lan Qinyu, thinking she was too beautiful and would bewitch the Prince. It was you who secretly subsidized Tu Sanniang with thirty taels of silver, which is why Tu Sanniang agreed to buy Lan Qinyu. Madam Ning, do you dare to admit it?"
Everyone was shocked, never expecting such a thing to happen, and the grief and indignation on Meng Zhuo's face disappeared.
The first and second wives went from initial shock to anger.
"Mother, I always thought you were biased, but I was just saying it casually. I never imagined you were this biased!"
