Perhaps upon hearing the news that Yun Xian could not be saved, the old lady softened her heart towards Yun Xian.
She stood up, took Yun Chuwei's hand, and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to see him! After all, he is your father."
Yun Chuwei had no objections. She followed the old lady out of the room and soon saw Yun Xian lying on the palanquin.
Yun Xian was beaten on the orders of the old lady, and then beaten again by people sent by the emperor.
He was seriously injured, his face was pale, and he looked very weak.
When he saw the old lady appear, Yun Xian hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to bow.
Yun Chuwei, however, could tell that this person was just putting on an act.
That's true. They've been beaten so badly, what else can they do besides put on a show?
The old woman reached out and pressed his hand down: "Look how badly you're injured, why are you still thinking about bowing? We're mother and son, why are you being so formal?"
Yun Xian adopted a respectful demeanor: "It is a son's duty to pay respects to his mother."
He only came to his senses after being beaten by his own mother and then by people sent by His Majesty.
The mother is still the one in charge of this household.
For some reason, this mother was particularly biased towards He Ning.
It's more like He Ning is the mother's daughter, and he is He Ning's son-in-law.
The old lady sighed almost inaudibly: "Alright, that's enough! Now that you've been punished, are you resentful towards your mother?"
Yun Xian didn't show any blame, but said earnestly, "How could your son blame his mother? After thinking about it, I realized that I had indeed gone too far. It's only right that my mother punishes me. I apologize to my mother here and hope that she can forgive me!"
Yun Xian felt that the most urgent task was to stabilize his mother's situation.
He could do more things once his mother stopped being so wary of him.
Bringing He An into the manor can't be rushed; it might be necessary to resolve the issues with He Ning, Yun Chuwei, and his mother before it can be done.
The old lady didn't want to speculate whether what this person said was true. She just felt that this was, after all, her son with whom she had lived for so long, and besides, Yun Chuwei had said that this son couldn't be saved.
There's no need for her to argue with Yun Xian anymore.
The old lady said, "To err is human, to forgive divine! You should apologize to your wife when you have time; she's the one who's been wronged the most!"
Yun Xian immediately nodded in agreement: "I understand, Mother. Don't worry, I will definitely apologize to Ning'er properly."
The old lady nodded with great satisfaction: "Let them take you back to apply the medicine, and then you can get some rest!"
Yun Xian readily agreed and soon had himself carried away.
After watching Yun Xian leave, the old lady asked Yun Chuwei, "Do you think he really knows he was wrong? Do you believe he will change?"
Yun Chu waved her hand and said, "There's not much time left. Why do you care whether he changes or not? Before he's beheaded, people will at least give him a few good meals. Why not just let him be happy for a while and enjoy the rest of his days? Why keep asking?"
old lady:……
"How old are you? There's no need to be so worldly-wise." The old lady looked at Yun Chuwei and said helplessly, "Sometimes, I feel that you are the old lady!"
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Although you are an old lady, you are still young. Don't underestimate yourself!"
The old lady was overjoyed to hear this.
-
On the day the Yue family was beheaded, Yun Chuwei naturally came.
She did this partly to send off her husband's family and partly to send off Zhu Anshi.
Let's also see if we can get anything useful out of Zhu Anshi.
She didn't mingle with the crowd, but instead booked a private room next to the execution ground.
She stood by the window of the private room, where she could clearly see what was happening below.
A large crowd of people stood below, all there to witness the execution.
Xie Xuan was also standing in the crowd, with Zhu Anshi standing to his left.
An old woman stood to his right.
Yun Chuwei naturally recognized the old woman.
She was one of the biological mothers of the three girls who were killed by Yue Jingsheng.
The last time Yue Jingsheng was acquitted, she knelt before Xie Xuan, begging him to help her.
She wanted the person who killed her daughter to get what he deserved.
Now, she has finally gotten what she's been waiting for; it can be said that heaven rewards those who persevere.
Soon, the prisoner was brought up.
Yun Chuwei spotted Yue He and Yue Jingsheng at a glance.
Yue He and Yue Jingsheng seemed to sense Yun Chuwei's location and turned to look at her.
Yun Chuwei smiled slightly, raised her teacup, and made a gesture of offering tea.
Yue He and Yue Jingsheng's faces turned pale at the same time.
At this moment, many people, like Yun Chuwei, looked at Yue Jingsheng with a satisfied expression.
Clearly, Yue Jingsheng had incurred the wrath of the masses, and now that the Yue family members were about to be beheaded, everyone felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Yue Jingsheng finally broke down when he was pinned to the guillotine.
"I was wrong, please don't kill me! I'll never do anything bad again! Forgive me!" he cried and begged.
The crowd shouted, "Kill him..."
After verifying the identity, the executioner dropped the command token and announced the execution.
The executioner raised his blade and brought it down, separating Yue Jingsheng's head from his body.
The crowd below cheered happily.
"Long live the Emperor!"
Yue He was filled with despair; he regretted indulging his son.
Spoiling a child is like killing him—that's certainly true!
He also deeply regretted getting involved in the Empress and Yun Chuwei's affair.
He regretted offending Yun Chuwei even more.
He couldn't help but wonder if things would have been different if he hadn't offended Yun Chuwei.
If we had built a good relationship with Yun Chuwei back then, could we have gotten a solution to the family's disaster from her?
But there's no going back.
He could only close his eyes and wait for death.
Upon seeing the murderer who killed her daughter beheaded, the woman wept with joy.
This was the result she had been waiting for for a long time.
She bowed to Xie Xuan and said, "Thank you, Your Highness! If it weren't for you, I probably would never have seen evil get its comeuppance in my life! I would never have been able to avenge my daughter. I don't know how to express my gratitude."
Xie Xuan said, "No need to thank me, they deserved it. From now on, you should live a good life and show the world to your daughter!"
The old woman agreed to everything, then thanked her profusely before leaving.
After watching the old woman leave, Xie Xuan looked up at the private room where Yun Chuwei was.
Yun Chuwei did not look at Xie Xuan, but instead looked at Chen Xi, the last criminal on the execution ground.
Yun Chuwei only glanced at him before realizing that there was something wrong with Chen Xi.
He was definitely not the real Chen Xi, because he was wearing a mask, an extremely exquisite and lifelike human skin mask.
She can't be wrong!
Although she's not good at disguise, she still has the ability to detect disguises.
