When Cui Yihuan said this, she used the local accent of Old Madam Wang.
Since marrying into the capital, Madam Wang had few opportunities to return to her hometown. As she grew older, she missed her hometown more and more. Lou Tinglan was considerate and often spoke with her in the local dialect to ease the old woman's homesickness.
The familiar local accent and the word "aunt" made Old Madam Wang tremble. She suddenly stopped what she was doing and looked at Cui Yihuan in disbelief.
"you?"
Cui Yihuan helped her up and spoke to her in her hometown dialect, "Let's go to the teahouse first, and I'll tell you slowly."
Their local dialect was difficult to learn and even more difficult to understand; Ye Zhen and the others couldn't understand it at all.
But Shu Liu Niang understood, because her mother and Madam Wang were from the same place, and because she understood, she was terrified.
She stared at Cui Yihuan as if she'd seen a ghost.
Ghosts, there really are ghosts.
It really is a vengeful ghost coming to claim your life.
After calming down Madam Wang, Cui Yihuan took the opportunity of picking up the fallen hair ornaments for Madam Wang to give Shu Liu Niang a cold smile, "The King of Hell said that I died unjustly, so he sent me back to send you down."
Having been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she knew that Shu Liu Niang could understand her local accent.
"Ghost... ghost..."
Shu Liuniang trembled and cowered, but then she saw Ye Zhen slowly squat down as well. "The oil cauldron of hell is already set up. After you've endured this thousand cuts, you'll be blown up."
After the bombing, she'll be subjected to a series of hellish trials: rolling on knives, having her tongue pulled out, bones removed, and a sea of fire. The eighteen levels of hell will come one after another; the old lady will have to endure it.
The word "old lady" was incredibly sarcastic.
These words terrified Shu Liuniang, who was about to be tortured to death, and she lost control of her bladder.
The stench of decay combined with the smell of urine greatly displeased the executioner, so he deliberately slowed down the execution to double the suffering of the victim.
Ye Zhen and his group returned to the teahouse, but it was clearly not a place for conversation with so many people.
Leaving aside Cui Yihuan's matter for the time being, everyone looked down from the second floor at Shu Liuniang and her son, who were crying and wailing, and they all felt a sense of satisfaction.
Old Mrs. Wang held her Buddhist prayer beads in her hand, her eyes fixed on the scene downstairs, tears streaming down her face.
Perhaps because she had gotten her revenge and was back by her son's side, Cui Yihuan was surprisingly calm.
Ye Zhen held Yin Yue's hand tightly, her mind churning with the horrific memories of the nunnery, the excruciating pain and the exhilaration of revenge, causing her body to tremble slightly.
Yin Yue assumed she was scared and blocked her view with her hand, saying, "Miss, the villain has been brought to justice. I won't look anymore; it won't offend your eyes."
She was a few years older than Ye Zhen, and in her heart, no matter how capable Ye Zhen was, he was always the child who needed to be carefully protected.
Ye Zhen gently pushed her hand away.
She had to watch for the people who died tragically in her previous life, and for Shu Liu Niang to receive the retribution she deserved.
Downstairs, Fu Jiang was in agony, the pain making him curse Shu Liu Niang. He felt that his predicament was entirely Shu Liu Niang's fault.
Shu Liu Niang abandoned him for wealth and status, but then took the initiative to seek him out after the old Marquis refused to touch her and she could not bear any more children.
After nurturing his ambition, he failed to kill Xie Bang for a long time, which led to his current predicament. He never received Xie Bang's title before his death.
As he continued cursing, he cursed Shu Liuniang, wishing her no reincarnation after death and that he would never again be her mother.
Shu Liu Niang was in great pain, both physically and mentally. She also cursed Fu Jiang for being ungrateful and blamed him for dragging her down with him.
After the mother and son completely broke off relations, she suddenly missed the Marquis of Zhongyong terribly. Half-dead, she struggled to turn her neck, trying to find the Marquis of Zhongyong's figure on the execution ground.
In the end, she saw nothing, and died with her eyes wide open.
After the execution was over and the crowd dispersed downstairs, Madam Wang, under the pretext of thanking Ye Zhen and Cui Yihuan for helping her earlier, invited them to visit her at the Wang Mansion.
Ye Zhen knew that Old Madam Wang wanted to get to the bottom of things with Cui Yihuan, so he accompanied Cui Yihuan onto the carriage heading to the Wang family.
Since the Marquis of Zhongyong already had doubts, he naturally followed suit.
Xie Tingzhou noticed that Ye Zhen's expression was off and was worried about her, so he also used the excuse of being concerned about Madam Wang's health to follow her to the Wang family.
However, being a woman, Madam Wang, after exchanging pleasantries, had Imperial Censor Wang accompany the father and son, each with their own ulterior motives, while she led Ye Zhen and Cui Yihuan to the inner courtyard.
"Princess Zhaoning".
When Madam Wang addressed Ye Zhen by her title of Princess, she said truthfully, "I have some questions for Aunt Cui. Please sit for a moment, Princess. If you find it boring, you can have Granny Cui show you around my courtyard."
She learned from Granny Cui that Ye Zhen and Cui Yihuan had a good relationship, and that she had just accompanied Cui Yihuan to the execution ground. Therefore, she did not want to send Ye Zhen away indirectly.
Ye Zhen smiled, "You can just call me Ye Zhen as before. I was just thinking of taking a walk around, so I'll have to trouble Granny Cui."
Granny Cui was delighted and said with a smile, "Come on, this old servant will show the princess the flowers that my old lady grows."
If you like, please pick out a few nice ones and bring them home later. My mother-in-law will be happy with them too.
Madam Wang laughed, "You old rascal, you've learned to use my things to do favors now."
He then turned to Ye Zhen and said, "She's right. Take whatever you like. My daughter-in-law doesn't know how to appreciate things, so leaving them is a waste."
Mrs. Wang, who had just come over to ask her mother-in-law and the two female guests what they wanted to eat, was speechless.
Okay, she shouldn't ask anymore.
Make your own decision.
After Ye Zhen left, Madam Wang dismissed the servants in the room and carefully examined Cui Yihuan.
What did you mean by what you just said?
When Cui Yihuan saw her aunt, who was like a mother to her, she was overwhelmed with a thousand thoughts.
Now that only the two of them were in the room, she knelt down at Old Madam Wang's feet with a thud, hugged her knees, and burst into tears, "Aunt, it's me, Tinglan..."
She sobbed as she told Old Madam Wang about her rebirth.
Madam Wang was shocked and delighted, but also somewhat suspicious, so she asked many private questions that only the two of them knew.
Cui Yihuan answered them one by one, and finally coaxed, "It must be because my aunt has been devout to Buddha all these years that Buddha gave me a chance to start over."
Waaah, Auntie, Lan'er misses you so much. Lan'er has wanted to see you for so long.
The young mistress is kind-hearted; she originally planned to take me to see you after the affairs of the manor were resolved.
I never imagined my aunt would come to the execution ground to beat that old vile woman for my sake. Waaah, Aunt, you're so good to Lan'er!
Cui Yihuan had always known how good her aunt had been to her. She wouldn't have done something like disrupting the execution ground unless she hated her to the extreme. Cui Yihuan had always been aware of how good her aunt had been to her.
In addition, the old lady was getting on in years and would probably feel guilty if she learned the truth about her murder. Cui Yihuan did not want the old lady to spend the rest of her life in guilt, so she did not hide her identity.
She knew her aunt would never see her as a monster, but would only be happy that she was back.
Madam Wang was indeed pleased, but she also sensed something else and asked with concern, "Does Ye Zhen also know about your affairs?"
Knowing what she was worried about, Cui Yihuan quickly said, "Don't worry, Aunt. The young mistress is a good person. She has been helping me all along, and she saw through it but didn't say anything."
She then told Madam Wang about how she entered the Marquis's mansion and how Ye Zhen treated her after she entered, among other things.
She didn't mention Xie Tingzhou's feelings for Ye Zhen for the time being, as she was worried that the old man's thinking was not open-minded enough.
In addition, she thought her own child was perfect and was afraid that Ye Zhen was not good enough for Tingzhou, which would cause trouble for the two children.
After hearing her explanation, Madam Wang was somewhat relieved and asked, "Did the Marquis's Mansion and Tingzhou also know?"
