Chapter 111 Let her meet the family of the victim
Mother Song's hopeful eyes froze for a moment.
She looked up at Shen Yuanwei, then turned to look at her two daughters-in-law and daughter.
Meeting her daughter-in-law's two pairs of resentful eyes, she immediately dodged and looked at her daughter, but her daughter's eyes were just as indifferent and distant.
She pursed her lips.
It was unknown whether she wanted to explain to her daughter and daughter-in-law, or to Shen Yuanwei. She lowered her head and whispered, "I... I just wanted revenge. What have I done wrong?"
Tears glistened in her eyes. "My two sons, my infant grandson, and my husband, they were all murdered. I just want to avenge them..."
She covered her heart tightly, closed her eyes and said sadly, "Even I have been tortured in hell all these years. Is it wrong for me to want revenge?"
Her two daughters-in-law looked numb.
After being locked in the same cage for a month, they must have gotten tired of hearing their mother-in-law's rhetoric.
Song Suihuan was equally indifferent.
They were tired of arguing with their mother, who stubbornly believed she was not wrong. After arguing a few times, they didn't want to argue anymore because they couldn't wake up a paranoid and crazy person.
Shen Yuanwei looked down at Song's mother and said with amusement.
"You want revenge, but you have already done it, haven't you? You successfully poisoned the emperor, and you served as a female warrior for your husband whose hands were covered in blood and who deserved the punishment. You should die bravely to accompany your beloved husband and son. What are you saying here that you don't want to die? You don't want to die, but do your daughter-in-law and daughter want to die too? Did you care about these three lives when you dragged them to die? Tsk, you only have your husband and son in your eyes anyway, and you don't care about the life and death of your daughter-in-law and daughter at all. So let these three unloved people leave you and live well, and you go down alone to accompany your good son and husband in a tragic way."
Shen Yuanwei curled her red lips slightly.
"I think you would rather go to hell to accompany those male sons who can carry on your family line. You definitely don't want to live with these three women without males, right? Otherwise, why would you give up your good life and insist on taking these three with you to die together?"
Mother Song’s back was stiff.
She didn't know how to refute this.
But she really doesn't want to die.
She is not afraid of death...
only……
But the damn emperor hadn’t been poisoned to death yet, so how could she die like this?
She has to live!
Mother Song looked up at Concubine Zhao, who had a bad attitude towards her. Knowing that it was useless to ask this person for help, she quickly turned to look at Song Suihuan.
She lowered her voice and said, "Why don't you speak? You can already escape, why don't you take me with you? Are you going to watch your mother die? Hurry up and beg the queen to let me go too!"
Song Suihuan stared at her mother coldly with red eyes.
She didn't want to be so cold-blooded...
However, she was really scared by this mother.
She got away with it this time, but what about next time?
If her mother keeps talking about revenge and poisons her again, how can she escape next time?
She would not plead for her mother.
She didn't have nine lives, and she didn't dare let her mother stay with her and burden her.
When Song's mother saw that Song Suihuan didn't say anything, she became furious!
She rushed over and grabbed Song Suihuan's collar, shouting, "Are you really going to let me die? You were obviously saved, why didn't you save me!"
Seeing that Song Suihuan still didn't say a word, she slapped him!
"Song Suihuan! You really are an unreliable ungrateful person!"
"You were rescued by your master on the way. You could have come to save us earlier, but you turned a blind eye to our suffering. You watched me struggle in hell for more than ten years and refused to save me!"
"You don't even have me as your mother in your heart!"
Song Suihuan slowly shed two lines of tears.
She endured the burning pain on her face, suppressed the heart-wrenching pain, and looked up at her mother.
She forced herself to harden her heart.
She forced a smile and said calmly, "Yes, I have never had you as a mother in my heart. I really regret saving you from exile. You obviously like staying in hell. I let you escape, but you want to take the three of us back to hell together. Tell me, why did you need to be rescued?"
She slowly pushed away her mother's hand that was grabbing her clothes, "You should go back to your hell and spend some time with your father and brother. They must miss you very much."
Song's mother didn't expect Song Suihuan to speak to her like this.
After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly felt extremely angry and her whole body was shaking with anger!
She wanted to pounce on this ungrateful daughter and strangle her to death, but the Dragon Scale Guard pushed open the prison door and kicked her back.
She fell into the straw pile, covering her aching heart, and watched Song Suihuan walk out of the prison door in panic.
"No……"
"No!"
She looked at her two daughters-in-law again!
Her daughter-in-law didn't care about her at all.
The two poor women were looking up at their savior, Concubine Zhao, and said cautiously, "Concubine, you just said that we can leave mother-in-law and live well with my younger sister? We...we can leave too, right?"
Shen Yuanwei nodded, "The emperor has agreed to execute only the main culprit, and you don't have to die with her."
The two poor women were ecstatic.
They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude, "Thank you, Madam Zhaopin, for saving our lives! Thank you, His Majesty, for your tolerance, mercy and forgiveness! Thank you, Madam! Thank you, His Majesty!"
After bowing their heads, they quickly got up and followed Song Suihuan out of the prison gate. They no longer wanted to stay in this terrible place where there was no freedom.
When Song's mother saw that everyone had run away, she was desperate and scared. She crawled to the prison gate and tried to run out.
Unfortunately, the Dragon Scale Guard slammed the door shut when she ran to it.
She was so close to running out, but she could only watch the prison door close in front of her.
She grabbed the cell door desperately and screamed in despair -
"No!"
"Let me out! Let me out!"
"Why can they live while I can't when we both have death penalty? If they can be released, I should be released too!"
"Isn't the emperor fine? He's already recovered, why can't he let me go!"
Shen Yuanwei looked at the woman curiously.
Sometimes she had to admit that some people's thinking processes were different from most people in the world.
Not to mention that this is a feudal society where imperial power is supreme, even in the 21st century, killing someone should be punished with death. Poisoning an ordinary person will result in a sentence, let alone the fact that the person poisoned the emperor?
She ignored Mother Song's hysteria. She led the Dragon Scale Guards and Song Suihuan and others out of the dark prison.
When they arrived outside the prison and basked in the sunshine again, the two sisters-in-law of the Song family hugged each other and cried with joy.
Shen Yuanwei turned and looked at Song Suihuan.
Seeing Song Suihuan looking back every three steps with tears streaming down her face, Shen Yuanwei said, "Are you ready? I want you to meet some people."
Song Suihuan wiped away her tears and looked at Shen Yuanwei, "Who is it?"
Shen Yuanwei raised her hands and clapped them gently. The next moment, a group of ragged, skinny people appeared in front of Song Suihuan holding the tablets of the dead.
Among those people, there were hunched-backed old men in their sixties, haggard and emaciated middle-aged women, teenage boys and girls who had been worn down by the hardships of the world and looked numb, and a few girls who were only fourteen or fifteen years old, but were already holding crying babies in their arms...
Shen Yuanwei pointed at those people and told Song Suihuan, "They are the families left behind by the more than one hundred people killed by your father."
