"No, Dad... Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. He didn't let me enter the palace to be a concubine..."
Shu Zhenmeng was already in his hands, so Zhuang Tianming naturally couldn't let her talk nonsense, so he quickly pressed Shu Zhenmeng's dizziness point.
Satisfied with seeing Shu Zhenmeng faint in his arms, Zhuang Tianming said to the old man Shu and his wife, "Brother Shu, Zhenmeng's entry into the palace cannot be changed, but I believe that the emperor will treat her well in the palace, so please don't worry."
Entering the palace is a good thing, how could Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke be worried?
They kept saying, "My daughter... no, my adopted daughter has been spoiled by us since she was little. She loses her temper the slightest thing that doesn't go her way. Fortunately, you, Brother Zhuang, are willing to accommodate her. My husband and I are truly grateful to you."
Zhuang Tianming immediately waved his hand and said, "We're family, so don't gossip. Brother Shu, your family is in the process of attending to a funeral, and I have important matters to attend to, so I can't stay any longer. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. I'll take my leave now."
Leaving behind ten silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels, Zhuang Tianming took Shu Zhenmeng and left the Shu family.
The pain of losing their son for Old Man Shu and Mrs. Ke was alleviated by Shu Zhenmeng's "good deed". After handling Shu Guoyi's funeral, they felt that there was nothing to miss in Guangming Village, so they decided to sell their old house and settle in the capital.
As for Feng Qiao'er, who should have been beheaded, she lived for a while because she was pregnant. However, she knew that the moment her child was born would be the moment of her death, so she was very careful with her body. After all, every day she could live was a day.
Holding her pregnant belly, Feng Qiaoer sat in a corner of the cell.
At this time, a new female prisoner was put into the cell.
The female prisoner felt it was very unfair when she saw that Feng Qiaoer's body was clean while her own was covered with scars.
After the officers left, the female prisoner immediately pulled Feng Qiaoer up.
"Heh...others are tortured in prison, but you're just pampered here, you stinky bitch...I think your family has some pretty strong backing!"
Feng Qiao'er didn't seem to be causing trouble at all, because as a pregnant woman, she was definitely no match for a normal person, not to mention that most of the people imprisoned here were extremely vicious.
Feng Qiaoer immediately stood up from the corner and timidly explained to the female prisoner, "Don't misunderstand, big sister. My family doesn't have any backing, and I'm just an ordinary female prisoner. The reason I don't have to work much is because I'm pregnant..."
"Are you pregnant?"
The female prisoner glanced at Feng Qiao'er's pregnant belly with a complicated expression, and then she said coldly, "Do you know what crime I committed to be here?"
Feng Qiaoer shook her head. She was about to say that she didn't want to know, but the female prisoner spoke before her.
Then the almost cold voice of the female prisoner reached Feng Qiaoer's ears.
"For many years, I have been childless. To ensure the continuation of our family line, I turned a blind eye and watched my husband fooling around with other women. Later, one of them actually became pregnant with my husband's son. However, she shamelessly ran to me to show off. I couldn't help myself and killed her. Thinking that my husband was also a dirty man, I also killed him with a knife."
