Xie Lingyu was completely shocked, her feet feeling like they were made of lead.
She watched as her usually aloof and elegant mother was pinned down by that filthy man, naked and struggling in agony.
This is so embarrassing.
Such a mess.
Step by step, step by step.
Xie Lingyu's eyes widened in panic as she staggered backward.
When one of the cheerful men suddenly turned around, she quickly dodged to the side in fear.
“Lingyu…Lingyu…”
Xie Lingyu seemed not to hear her mother's screams and wails, which were so clear yet so distant.
The drama that unfolded amidst the chaos of the crowd came to an end at some unknown time.
The crescent moon has disappeared deep into the clouds.
Xie Lingyu hid in the shadows and watched the men pull up their pants and leave one after another, satisfied. Only then did she emerge from the shadows, trembling, and rush into the courtyard.
The moonlight was deathly pale.
Meanwhile, the second aunt's mother was lying naked on the ground, her hair disheveled, her face bruised and swollen, her body covered in injuries, and her eyes glazed over.
Xie Lingyu gritted her teeth, hurriedly went to the side, found a piece of cloth, and covered her second aunt with it.
At that moment, the second aunt suddenly grabbed Xie Lingyu's hand, as if she had just come to her senses. Her gaze slowly fell on Xie Lingyu. "Lingyu, why didn't you save me?"
The words were light, desperate, and somewhat sinister and terrifying. The force in his hand increased, making it difficult for Xie Lingyu to breathe.
Xie Lingyu was so frightened that she forcefully shook off her second aunt's hand, feeling guilty and nervous, "You...you...I...I..."
"Lingyu." The second aunt struggled to prop herself up, her body dilapidated, and slowly approached Xie Lingyu. "You unfilial daughter, watching your mother being bullied like this, you actually..."
The second concubine's face was contorted with rage; she had never felt such despair in her life.
At first, she hated Xie Lingqin, hated Xie Lingqin's mother, and hated General Xie for being so heartless and ungrateful.
But at this moment, she hated Xie Lingyu, this daughter. To protect her, she had taken all the blame even after being driven out by the general, only thinking of not implicating her, hoping that one day she could rise again. But...
Now, it's all over.
She's a withered flower, a fallen willow.
This second concubine is too terrifying. Xie Lingyu took a step back and glanced around.
Silence reigned all around, with the wind blowing in from all directions.
"You... I'm leaving." Xie Lingyu suddenly turned and walked away.
"Stop!" Second Aunt rushed forward and tackled Xie Lingyu. "You can't leave. I'm your mother. You can't leave me here to suffer."
Seeing her second aunt clinging to her like a madwoman, Xie Lingyu panicked. If someone saw this, she...
"Let go, let go."
"I won't let go, take me away, take me with you..." Second Aunt's tears fell, her eyes were glazed, and she just kept pleading.
Xie Lingyu couldn't break free, and now she panicked even more. No, she couldn't take her mother back.
Such a mother will only drag her down and become a burden to her...
No, it's not possible.
Suddenly, Xie Lingyu grabbed something and threw it at her second aunt's hand.
"Click—"
It sounded like bones were cracking, and blood gushed out instantly, making one's eyes turn bloodshot.
"Ah!" Second Aunt cried out in pain.
Taking advantage of this, Xie Lingqin struggled to her feet and made a move to run, but just as she reached the courtyard gate, she suddenly remembered something, grabbed the wall for support, and stopped, panting.
When he looked back at his second aunt, who was writhing in pain, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
My mother cannot live. If people find out that she is in this state, it will be a stain that she can never wash away for the rest of her life.
If she were to reveal what happened today, it would be even more difficult for the Prince Xian to marry her.
Yes, no, no...
Xie Lingyu gritted her teeth, then suddenly raised her head coldly, trembling as she stepped forward.
"Lingyu, Lingyu... are you going to take me away...?" As soon as she saw Xie Lingyu walk back, the second aunt didn't care about the blood all over her hands and body and immediately rushed forward.
However, before he could pounce on Xie Lingyu, a sharp, piercing pain shot through his head.
Second Aunt stared fixedly at Xie Lingyu, her eyes glazed over, and slowly collapsed. In an instant, there was no sound, only a faint breath, her eyes fixed on Xie Lingyu as she slowly put down the large stone in her hand.
Xie Lingyu's hand trembled, and her entire face flashed with cruel and bloodthirsty intent.
"You...you..." After a long while, the second aunt's lips trembled, seemingly unable to believe it. She couldn't believe that Xie Lingyu, the daughter she had cherished so much, would treat her like this.
Suddenly, all around became eerily quiet, and the sound of the wind rushing past one's ears was like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
Xie Lingyu swallowed hard, then carefully looked around before squatting down. "Don't look at me like that. I'm doing this for myself. Since you're so good to me, then just die peacefully and stop hurting me."
"you……"
“Mother, don’t be afraid. Actually, there’s something I want to tell you…”
A sly smile flashed in Xie Lingyu's eyes as she slowly leaned closer to her second aunt's ear.
Upon hearing this, the second concubine's previously blank pupils suddenly widened, utterly shocked...
"Bang."
The last trace of his life was extinguished by Xie Lingyu smashing it with a large rock.
The second concubine died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
Seeing the blood all over the ground, Xie Lingyu was no longer flustered. She slowly got up, took a set of clothes from the side, and helped her second aunt put them on properly. Then, she placed a large stone next to her second aunt's head to create the illusion that she had committed suicide. Only then did she take a deep breath and quickly run out of the courtyard.
