I am Yuan Niaoniao

"Niao Niao," Yuan Wuhe gasped weakly while lying on the bed. He looked at his daughter and granddaughters who were surrounding the bed, and his eyes were red with weakness. He recalled his brilliant life, but ended up like this, and even had to send off his son who died young. He held back the tears that were about to fall, "Niao Niao, Xixi. Grandpa has to go first," Yuan Wuhe used up his last bit of strength to gently pat the back of Yuan Niao Niao's hand, "Sorry for keeping your father waiting for a long time."

"Grandpa..." Having just sent her father away four years ago, Yuan Niaoniao now has to watch her grandfather become seriously ill but is powerless to do anything. Yuan Niaoniao hates herself for not having any cultivation and the inability to protect the Yuan family. The feeling of being heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe is really too painful.

"Yunfei, father is tired. Please look after the Yuan family and take care of your mother for him." Yuan Wuhe said this with his last bit of strength and closed his eyes heavily.

"Ah, Dad is gone, Mom." Yuan Yunfei hugged Chen Xifeng, who was heartbroken and speechless, and could no longer stop his tears.

"Grandpa, Grandpa" Yuan Niaoniao and Yuan Xixi burst into tears.

For a time, the entire Yuan Mansion was shrouded in sadness. With the departure of Yuan Wuhe, the only male left in the entire Yuan Family was Yuan Yunfei's underage son Sun Jinzhi. The huge Yuan Family was bound to become the target of everyone, and everyone wanted to get a piece of the pie. However, the people immersed in sadness had no time to prepare.

Today is the seventh day after Yuan Wuhe's death. Everyone in the Yuan family, who have not yet recovered from their injuries, still look sad. However, no one showed up at the memorial service organized for Yuan Wuhe.

"These people are really too much!" Yuan Niaoniao looked at the quiet gate, "Before Dad passed away, they still remembered Grandpa's face, but now that Grandpa is gone, they have completely stopped pretending!!! It's as if they have nothing to do with my Yuan family. They only know how to take advantage of my Yuan family's glory, but now they are like monkeys scattered when the tree falls."

"Sister, don't bother with these people. People are cold to the cold when they leave. That's just how people are. There's no need to be angry." Yuan Xixi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and added some incense and candles to the altar.

"But..." Yuan Niaoniao knew this was the truth, she was just indignant.

"The imperial edict has arrived..." Suddenly, a eunuch leading a group of guards appeared at the gate. "The Yuan family is waiting for the order."

"What's going on, mother?" Yuan Niao Niao looked back at Bai Yue'e. Bai Yue'e also shook her head in confusion.

"Let's receive the imperial edict first." Yuan Yunfei also guessed that it was directed at the Yuan family, so he stepped forward and led everyone to kneel down together, "Please ask the eunuch to read the imperial edict."

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I have received evidence from Minister Tan that the Yuan family has been secretly colluding with foreigners, and the evidence is irrefutable. Considering that General Yuan had made great military achievements throughout his life and has now passed away suddenly, I will sympathize with the female members of the Yuan family. All minors will be exiled, and adults will be demoted to female slaves. All men will be beheaded. Their property will be confiscated, and the execution will be immediate..."

"What? This is impossible!" Yuan Yunfei shouted in disbelief. "How is it possible! The Yuan family has worked hard for the royal family all their lives and never took credit for themselves. How could they have an affair with a foreign clan?"

"Are you going to disobey the imperial order?" The eunuch was very unhappy because he was interrupted before he had even finished reading the imperial edict.

"Minister Tan? Tan Xinhui?" Impossible. The moment Yuan Niaoniao heard the name of her best friend's father, she shook her head. "Impossible. Minister Tan's daughter and I are close friends. How is it possible that her father checked my Yuan family and I had no idea?" They grew up together, how could it be her, or her father? Minister Tan was also my father's close friend!

"Accept the order." The chief eunuch was so anxious to return to the palace to report that he didn't want to stay any longer. "Hurry up and act. Why are you just standing there? Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed on the spot." After instructing the guards, he turned and left.

"Let me go,"... "Let me go," "There must be some misunderstanding!" Everyone was suddenly in chaos.

"Let my mother go," Although Sun Jinzhi was young, he had practiced martial arts for many years, so he slapped away the hand that was holding Yuan Yunfei.

Seeing this, the guard who was hurt by the slap drew his sword and stabbed Sun Jinzhi.

"Aunt, Jinzhi!" Yuan Niaoniao looked at her in disbelief as the guard's sword pierced straight into Sun Jinzhi's back and passed through the body of Yuan Yunfei who was holding Sun Jinzhi.

"Cousin..." Sun Jinzhi turned around, and the blood from the corner of his mouth soaked their white clothes.

This sudden change made Yuan Niaoniao stunned. She didn't resist and let herself be tied up and dragged out. She was only 16 years old, so she was also in the exile team. With empty eyes, she followed the team blankly, stumbling all the way, her mind was blank, and she couldn't hear any sound from the outside world.

"Ah sister, ah sister." Yuan Xixi was forced to leave with the team. She wanted to wake up Yuan Niao Niao but there was no response. She turned her head and looked at Bai Yue'e, "Mom, what should I do?"

"Follow sister, mom is fine." Bai Yue'e held back her tears and gestured to Yuan Xixi. She had no way to deal with this sudden change.

Yuan Xixi is just a child after all, two years younger than Yuan Niaoniao, and she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

"Shut up, stop making so much noise." The impatient guard slapped Yuan Xixi mercilessly, knocking her to the ground.

Seeing her sister fall to the ground, Yuan Niaoniao came to her senses, and "Xixi" hurried over to help her up. She turned back and looked fiercely at the guard who beat her. If possible, she wanted to kill him directly.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Yuan? Why is she so miserable?" A mocking voice sounded behind him.

"Xinhui?" Hearing the familiar voice, Yuan Niao Niao stood up and turned around. Looking at the girl in white in front of her, she was her best friend since childhood, her best friend with whom she could confide in. "You..." The girl in white was holding the arm of none other than the young man she was about to marry, Han Haotian. "Haotian, you guys?"

"Don't you understand yet? Brother Haotian loves me, not you Yuan Niaoniao!" Tan Xinhui proudly took Han Haotian's hand. She had been waiting for this day for too long, and was always outshined by Yuan Niaoniao. Now she finally got what she wanted!

Yuan Niaoniao ignored Tan Xinhui and just stared at Han Haotian. But Han Haotian turned away with a frown, as if he was looking at something dirty, unwilling to even look at Yuan Niaoniao.

Tears burst out in an instant, and all the words she wanted to say stopped at this turn. At this moment, she was finally abandoned by the whole world. Yuan Niao Niao felt her throat getting hot, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed to the ground.

As if it was not enough, Tan Xinhui stepped forward and said: "Niu Niu, Niu Niu, do you know that the reason why your Yuan family has such solid evidence is not only because of my father's contribution? Did Brother Haotian also help? Otherwise, why would His Majesty be so angry? Would he confiscate your family property immediately without considering the generations of meritorious officials in your family?" Looking at Yuan Niu Niu's drastically changed expression with a smug look, she thought to herself that it would be best if you were dead! To cut the grass, you must remove the roots. With a fierce look in her eyes, a dark current appeared in Tan Xinhui's palm and attacked Yuan Niu Niu's forehead. Yes, she secretly practiced martial arts, and thanks to her talent, she learned a set of self-defense skills. I, Tan Xinhui, want to be stronger than you, Yuan Niu Niu!

"You actually..." Before she could finish her words, Yuan Niaoniao was hit on the forehead by this powerful palm, and died vomiting blood.

"Sister" Xixi hugged Yuan Niao Niao, who died suddenly of vomiting blood, and cried heartbreakingly.

Goodbye, this cruel world.
