Chapter 325 Nightmare
Mrs. Anping wiped her tears and said calmly, "You guys go!"
The disheartened Lady Anping no longer wanted to say a word to them. No matter how reluctant she was and how much hope she had, it was all extinguished like a basin of cold water. She knew that she was just hoping for something too much and that she had reached a dead end.
The second son of the Li family seemed to understand something, and he knelt down in disbelief, begging Lord Anping. Lord Anping shook his head gently, and the second son of the Li family broke down and cried, "Father, brother, how can you be so cruel?"
"Are we cruel? If we wait for Lu Jing to get angry, the three of us will lose our military power. Who will protect the old friends, women and children of the Li family? Your son is just one year old, how will he grow up? Your mother has made a big mistake. If we protect her, we will lose the entire Li family. Our Li family will decline from now on, and we may be uprooted and exiled from the capital. Are you willing?"
The second son of the Li family was a well-known filial son. He was slightly startled when he heard this. Before he could think about it, Lady Anping had already stood up, her expression calm, "That's enough, all of you go away, I don't want to see you again!"
Earl Anping also knew that the relationship between husband and wife had become weak, but there was nothing he could do. He and the eldest son of the Li family had discussed the matter on their way back to the capital and had prepared for the worst. Lu Jing had never given in at the palace banquet, and the princess was unwilling to meet them alone. Earl Anping already knew one thing: the princess and Lu Jing had the same attitude on this matter, so his plea was useless.
He didn't understand why the eldest princess would stand with Lu Jing and strip him of his military power. He was the general that the royal family relied on. The Li family's honor and disgrace, rise and fall all came from the royal family. How could he betray the eldest princess, and why did the eldest princess betray him?
He could only think that perhaps the eldest princess had her own reasons and Lu Jing had found her weak spot, so she had no choice but to do so. No matter what the reason was, it was impossible to save the lady. There was only one way to go, and that was to save himself.
Sacrifice one person to save the whole family, he knows how to choose.
The eldest son of the Li family pulled the second son to kowtow and dragged him out of the cell. Earl Anping looked at his wife's back and said sadly, "Madam, I'm sorry. After you die, the Li family will give you a decent funeral."
At least, she won't be left wandering around as a lonely ghost.
Lady Anping's wife burst into tears as she listened to the footsteps of Anping's sons leaving, and the heart-wrenching cry of the Second Young Master when he came to his senses. When she turned around, the jailer had already closed the door.
Lady Anping thought of the public trial that Su Qingwan had mentioned. So that was the case. She had long expected that the Li family would sacrifice her. She had long known that her husband and sons would choose her to die. Su Qingwan wanted her to taste the feeling of being deserted by her friends and relatives. Revenge was also necessary to cut off all thoughts of life.
Lady Anping laughed loudly, "Xie Zhaolan, you are so cruel!"
She was confused for a moment and couldn't help but provoke Xie Zhaolan. How could a woman who had married her brother and seduced her powerful brother be a good person?
She had lived for decades in vain, only to be schemed against by a little girl.
She also truly experienced what despair was and what it meant to be... disheartened.
As Lady Anping thought back on her decades of life, she became more and more miserable. She also knew that if she made a mistake, she would make more mistakes. It was useless to regret. Her life had come to an end!
"Xie Zhaolan, you are such a vindictive person, you will never have a good ending. The culprit who harmed you is Lu Feng. You want to kill us all, but what about Lu Feng?" A trace of hatred flashed across the eyes of Lady Anping. "You have married Lu Jing, how are you going to take revenge on Lu Feng? I am waiting to see you end up being deserted by everyone. I am waiting for the day when you kill Lu Feng and Lu Jing turns against you. As long as you lose Lu Jing's protection, your end will be more tragic than mine. I will wait for you on the road to the underworld!"
Late at night, Su Qingwan woke up with a start. Lu Jing was a light sleeper, so he woke up instantly. He hugged her and patted her gently, soothing her anxiety. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Yeah, I dreamed about my sister!" She has been thinking about her sister recently and she often dreams about her sister.
Lu Jing's heart sank and he gently wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"When the situation in Huainan stabilizes, I will accompany you back to Huainan to visit the graves." Lu Jing said gently and kissed her temple.
"good!"
