Madam Pei said expressionlessly, "Go and bring that old fellow here first."
Aunt Deng, dressed in a seamstress, was dragged up.
Her face was pale and gray, completely devoid of blood.
Li Chaohuai and Li Chaoan chased her out of the hall, and Li Chaohuai shouted loudly: "Auntie - Auntie -"
"Old Madam, please forgive my aunt. I am willing to bear all the punishment for her crimes!"
"Auntie——"
Li Chaohuai kowtowed heavily on the ground with a "bang bang bang" sound.
But in just a moment, his forehead was covered in blood.
Mrs. Pei bent down and lowered her head to lift up Mrs. Deng's face.
"You are so lucky. Your son is more filial than mine."
"But, my son has been raised like this, Aunt Deng, you are responsible for it."
"After all, he threatened me for you back then, saying he wouldn't even burn a stick of incense for me even if I died!"
"Look at him now. Isn't it because of your good teaching?"
Old Aunt Deng glanced at Li Chaojing, who was mentally unstable, and her whole body trembled like a sieve.
Where is the same high spirit he had when he first returned to the general's mansion?
During her time in the nunnery, she had been tortured to the point of bowing her head and recognizing the truth.
Li Chaohuai wanted to see her, and out of filial piety he even wanted to rescue her from the nunnery.
But Madam Pei sent someone to keep an eye on Aunt Deng, even when she went to the toilet or slept.
Later, everyone in the nunnery even kept an eye on her personally.
If Aunt Deng shows any intention of escaping, she will be caught immediately and punished severely if she refuses to do so.
For example, taking off all the robes on the upper body in front of all the nuns, and then beating the back severely with a ruler.
For example, in the cold winter night, she was asked to go to the lake to wash clothes for the entire nunnery.
For example, she was asked to carry manure and irrigate all the vegetable fields in the back mountain by herself.
Or maybe let her clean all the halls of the nunnery by herself...
Aunt Deng is already old, how can she bear all these tortures?
Shame and fatigue had already made her devote herself to Buddhism.
She gradually realized the evil things she had done and felt extremely remorseful.
So, today Li Qingluo sent Nanny Zheng to the nunnery to bring her back. She already had an idea in her mind on the way back.
After all, the evil deeds of himself and Qu that killed so many children in the mansion had not been exposed yet.
She knew that sooner or later, these crimes would be exposed.
Sure enough, the fire finally came over...
"Old Madam, I was wrong... I have been completely wrong over the years."
"I apologize to you and make amends to you."
"If it weren't for my deliberate guidance back then, Jing'er wouldn't be so distant from you. Nor would she regard you as a disgrace."
"All of this is the sin that I deliberately committed. I accept all of it."
"But Jing'er, actually, I really loved you when I was young..."
"He has also been looking forward to the gifts you send home countless times."
"I've been looking forward to your return..."
"It was I who repeatedly blocked your letters home, and it was I who lied to him. You lived a carefree life fighting and killing at the border, and you didn't want to acknowledge him as a burdensome son..."
"Old Madam, I truly deserve to die."
"Even Master... Master, back then, it was me who deliberately seduced you..."
Madam Pei: "Alright! What's the point of you saying all this? Don't you understand? I no longer care what the father and son did to me in the past."
"What I care about is my own cowardice and humiliation back then."
"Deng, you colluded with the Qu family and killed several descendants of the Li family. Later, you colluded with Li Qingzhu to do all sorts of evil things. Do you admit these crimes, or do you not?"
Aunt Deng cried and said, "I admit it, I admit it all!"
Madam Pei: "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
Aunt Deng: "I beg the old lady to help me and give me a decent life. I want a piece of white silk."
Madam Pei: "Yes."
Aunt Deng was dragged away.
Li Chaohuai and Li Chaoan were stunned when they heard the last words in the hall.
Li Chaohuai's face changed, and he was about to completely tear his face apart and curse, but Aunt Deng stopped him with a shout: "Huai'er! An'er!"
"Although I am your aunt, the old lady is your legitimate mother!"
"I have done so many bad things over the years. I deserve to die long ago, and it's not a pity for me to die!"
"So, don't do anything reckless for me..."
"As for me, I am willing to die this time."
"You must be well, be well..."
Li Chaohuai and Li Chaoan knelt on the ground together, crying and shouting: "Mother——"
Aunt Deng was being dragged along. She smiled and shook her head, "You must live a good life from now on. You must be sincere and kind, and treat others sincerely."
"Mother coveted too many things that didn't belong to her, and she killed so many people. She deserved it..."
Aunt Deng was dragged away, and Li Chaohuai and Li Chaoan stood up together and chased after her.
Li Chaojing was still looking at this scene in a daze, then he clapped his hands and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Yeah, yeah, chasing people is so fun, I want to go too--"
Li Chaojing stood up and skipped away.
Seeing him reach the door, he suddenly looked back.
"Mother, please don't go!"
