The peasant woman replied plaintively, "My name is Qin Shufen, my husband is Qi Zhiyan, and he married Princess Dexin."
Zhao Huan suddenly remembered that Hanlin scholar Qi Zhiyan was the son-in-law appointed by Huizong himself.
I didn't expect that this person, who usually appears to be righteous, is actually a hypocrite worse than an animal.
Zhao Huan was deeply impressed by Qi Zhiyan. He had some talent, but he wasn't exactly a sycophant. Worse still, he was once a pro-war figure, deeply trusted by Li Gang.
Zhao Ji even married his sister, Princess Dexin, to him, never expecting that this man would be the modern-day version of Chen Shimei.

When everyone walked into the temple and took a look, they were shocked to see an old woman hanging from a beam inside the temple, with a broken stool with one leg broken at her feet.
"Mom!" Qin Shufen was shocked.
"Grandma!" the two children started crying.
It turned out that the old woman did not want to drag down the mother and son any longer, and she felt deep resentment towards her son, so she hanged herself.
