"My son was so good to you, why did you have to kill him?"
When the county princess saw Ming Ruyue, she wasn't as angry as expected; instead, she seemed rather calm.
In some ways, she was actually fortunate.
If this hadn't happened, and the two had actually gotten married, it would have ruined their son's life.
Although this incident almost cost me my life, I ultimately escaped unharmed.
“Because of him, I can’t be with my master. He deserves to die.”
Ming Ruyue spoke with the calmest tone, yet with the most ruthless one.
The county princess's temper flared up instantly, but before she could explode, some of the Ming family members who were locked up together couldn't take it anymore.
It was Ming Ruyue's two sisters-in-law who couldn't control themselves and rushed over to beat Ming Ruyue up!
"If you don't want to die, just find a crooked tree and hang yourself. Why drag your whole family down with you?"
"You still like your own master? Disgusting!"
"If anything happens to my daughter, I'll tear you apart!"
Madam Ming, suppressing her heartache, did not stop it.
She knew that both of her daughters-in-law needed to vent.
She had no right to stop it.
She only regretted it, regretted why she had sent her daughter away from the capital, which led to her becoming like this.
Watching the Ming family women wrestling together, the county princess felt a sense of satisfaction, but suddenly had no intention of questioning Ming Ruyue.
It's a waste of time to say even half a word to someone like that.
Having figured it out, the county princess turned to leave.
Madam Ming asked in a panic, "Princess, the children..."
"I will plead for him."
After saying this, the county princess turned and left.
The two sisters-in-law who were tearing at Mingruyue suddenly lost their strength and burst into tears.
The family has fallen so low that even if we beat someone to death, there's absolutely nothing we can do.
Madam Ming slowly closed her eyes, then opened them a moment later. She walked up to Ming Ruyue, whose face was bruised and swollen, and slowly uttered cold words.
"Moon, you should kill yourself."
The whole family stared at Madam Ming in shock.
The two daughters-in-law were even more terrified.
Mingruyue's eyelashes trembled, as if she were somewhat saddened. She asked, "Why?"
"You cannot escape death. If you do not commit suicide now, you will either be exiled indefinitely, and on the way you will likely be... or you will be beheaded and displayed to the public!"
For example, of these two paths, suicide is the best choice.
Do you hate your daughter?
It is hatred.
But it hasn't reached the point where he wishes his daughter would go right now.
She thought about it for a long time, and then she understood.
There is no other path for my daughter to take.
The best, the most dignified way is to commit suicide.
Ming Ruyue understood, but she refused to listen.
"Master will come to save me, I can't die."
Even in the filthy prison, Ming Ruyue's face still wore a smile when she mentioned her master.
That was the purest and most trusting smile.
Madam Ming gritted her teeth, hating her daughter's master to the core!
She raised her hand and slapped her daughter across the face, knocking her to the ground where her face was covered in bruises.
"How utterly foolish! If he truly loved you, he could have simply taken you away! The world is vast, who could possibly find you?"
And if you really leave, do you think my Ming family and Meng family can go looking for you in a big way?
We can only report that you suddenly fell ill and died, and that the marriage with the Meng family is off!
In this way, you and your good master can stay together forever!
But now your master is inciting you to kill Meng Kuo! And under these circumstances!
Didn't your master think about this? What would you do if you killed Meng Kuo? Did you think you would live?
You are nothing more than a pawn in your master's hands! Or rather... you are just an insignificant pawn that has been placed on the chessboard of the Prince of Anping for many years!
So how could your master possibly come to save you? If he wanted to save you, he wouldn't have sent you to kill Meng Kuo in the first place!
You've traveled so long from the border town to the capital, and he hasn't come to rescue you. Do you think he'll be able to save you once you're in the heavily guarded capital prison?
Madam Ming's words hit the nail on the head.
Having said so much, Ming Ruyue's fragile pretense was exposed.
The bloody truth was laid bare before her, yet she gritted her teeth and refused to admit that her master had only been using her.
Seeing that Ming Ruyue was so stubborn, Madam Ming stopped trying to persuade her.
"I wanted you to commit suicide so you wouldn't suffer later. Even though you did something wrong, we were still mother and daughter. But you're so stubborn, I don't care anymore, do as you please."
Madam Ming was utterly exhausted.
She gave birth to a daughter but failed to raise her properly, which led to this mess.
Madam Ming deeply regretted her actions, but there was nothing she could do.
"Mother, you should rest for a while. I wonder if the county princess will plead with His Majesty on my behalf."
Her daughter-in-law helped her sit down, her face full of worry.
She didn't care how her sister-in-law would die; she was really worried about her daughter who had a persistent high fever.
Madam Ming suppressed her anxiety and tried to calm herself down.
If she can't keep things in check, the children will be even less likely to stay calm.
"Although the county princess is arrogant, it is precisely because of her arrogance that she disdains to lie. If she says she will plead for mercy, she will definitely do so."
Whether His Majesty is willing or not is another matter.
Madam Ming didn't tell the children this, fearing they wouldn't be able to handle it.
"Very good."
"That's great, as long as the children can get out alive."
The two daughters-in-law were overjoyed and thanked God.
