Well, the thing that Lan Hui had been trying to hide could no longer be hidden after all.

Yang Jing just stood there, not daring to say a word.

Lan Hui gave up completely. "Your own son was not well-educated. He seduced a girl in the boudoir, and then you wanted to put all the blame on me. You are so shameless!"

Liang smiled grimly, "I have no shame? If you had any shame, you would have jumped into the river after losing your innocence! But did you jump? Not only did you not jump, you also had someone push Miss Mu, who was engaged to my son, into the water, almost killing her! You even instigated your aunt to come and negotiate with me, so that I could come and cancel the engagement! You still have the nerve to say that I have no shame!"

"What about you? You are the legitimate daughter of the Liang family, yet you are willing to be someone's concubine! In order to gain power, you even murdered the original wife! If you are truly noble, why do you cling to a man?"

If Liang hadn't been out of strength at the moment, she would have pounced on her and torn her mouth apart!

It's a pity that she has difficulty breathing now and can only watch Lan Hui, that little bitch, bully her in front of her!

"Alright! Shut up!" Marquis Xiangning said angrily. He looked at Yang Jing, who had a look of shock and hesitation, and closed his eyes. No matter how partial and biased he was, this son was always not worthy of being in the public eye!

He can neither be a filial son nor a real man! When faced with problems, he can only get drunk and be a coward!

"Take your wife down! This is not the place for you!"

Yang Jing naturally knew that these words were spoken to him.

He had no ability and his father looked down on him. Now that he was no longer supported by his mother and the Liang family, no one in the entire Marquisate would take him seriously.

After bringing Lan Hui back to the courtyard where they lived, he immediately pushed Lan Hui to the ground, then squatted down in anger, grabbed her collar, and said viciously, "You and I can stay in the Marquis' Mansion because of mother's management. Do you think you and I can have a good life after mother's downfall? Lan Hui! You are so stupid!"

Lan Hui sneered, "Why didn't you say something like this when you listened to her and brought that prostitute into my house, angering me to the point of miscarriage? As long as she's alive, can I have a good life? I thought you were a learned, ambitious, and promising person, but I didn't expect you to be a drunkard who hasn't even been weaned! Yang Jing, let me tell you, the thing I, Lan Hui, can't stand the most in this world is being wronged! You killed my child and destroyed my only dream in this life, so you have to be buried with him!"

As soon as Yang Jing raised his hand, he felt a pain in his chest, then he fell down holding his chest, unable to utter a word, "You..."

Lan Hui stood up, and after she stabilized herself, she kicked Yang Jing hard in the abdomen twice, causing his facial features to twist in pain.

"We no longer have a child, and the little affection we had left is gone too. Do you think I will still tolerate you? All the grievances I suffered in the Marquis' Mansion were caused by you! Since you are useless, go with your mother and keep my child company...hahahaha..."

Lan Hui's laughter stopped abruptly when she heard the orderly footsteps coming from behind her.

She turned around suspiciously, and saw the officers and soldiers from Jingzhao Prefecture...

She knew it all too well.

"Madam Second Young Master, you are suspected of murdering your mother-in-law and your husband. Please follow me..."

Yang Jing was still lying on the ground with a blue face. Lan Hui wanted to deny it but she couldn't.

The person who came was Jingzhao Yin, but he was not the Jingzhao Yin she knew.

The former Jingzhao Yin was suspected of abusing his power for personal gain, corruption and bribery, and has been removed from office and investigated. The current Jingzhao Yin is definitely Prince Ling's man.

The moment she was taken out of the door, she clearly saw a carriage parked across the street. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing Mu Qingyan's face.

Lan Hui widened her eyes in disbelief.

Mu Qingyan sneered as she watched her being taken away by the people from Jingzhao Prefecture.

The charge of murdering her mother-in-law alone was enough to send her to exile, not to mention murdering her husband and the princess. Lan Hui went to Jingzhao Prefecture, and when she came out again, it was time for her to go to the execution ground.

As for Liang, Marquis Xiangning did not send her to justice for the sake of dignity. He just gave her a letter of divorce and sent her back to the Liang family.

This man was taken back by the Liang family, but he died before he even entered the house.

And faced with irrefutable evidence, Lan Hui confessed to her actions.

The prefect of Jingzhao sentenced him to death by beheading.

The night before the execution, Mu Qingyan went to the prison to visit her.

"What are you here for?"

She thought that even if the Queen Mother didn't care about her, her aunt should have sent someone to tell her something. Unexpectedly, before she died, the only person who came to see her was Mu Qingyan.

"How do you feel about being trampled to death and being left alone?"

Lan Hui huddled in the corner, hugging herself and turning her head away, no longer looking at her.

"You don't dare to look at me? You are going to die soon, what are you afraid of? When the time comes tomorrow, the executioner will raise his knife and there will be no one to collect your body... You can only leave your body in the wilderness and let the wild beasts eat it..."

"Mu Qingyan! Don't think I don't know, all this is because of you!"

Lan Hui's eyes turned red, that was her hatred for her.

"I could have married Yang Jing in glory and helped him ascend to the throne of the Crown Prince. I would have been a Marquise in the future, and my child would have been a Crown Prince... It was all because of you! Because you told Liang that I was pregnant before marriage! That's why she despised me and brought me to this point today! Why don't you just die!"

Mu Qingyan just smiled at her threatening behavior and vicious curses, "When you were having an affair with Yang Jing, why didn't you think of today? You can live with a clear conscience after harming others, but you don't allow others to fight back? Lan Hui, you had a good hand, but you ruined it yourself, who can you blame?"

She walked away, took two steps and turned back, as if she remembered something. "Mingyuan Marquis's Mansion has already claimed that you will be removed from the family tree, and the divorce letter written by Yang Jing has also been approved by the government. If you die, you will not be able to be buried in the Lan family's ancestral tomb, nor in the Yang family's ancestral temple. No one will worship you, and you will only be a lonely ghost..."

"Mu Qingyan, I'm going to kill you——"

Lan Hui's screams echoed throughout the cell, but Mu Qingyan turned a deaf ear to them. Because no matter what she cursed, it was all in vain.

The next day, Lan Hui was taken to the execution ground. When the time came, the knife fell and her life ended.

I finally avenged you...

Mu Qingyan muttered to herself.

In addition to Lan Hui, there was also Yulan who pushed her into the water with her own hands.

After Lan Hui was imprisoned, she was sold out by the Xiangning Marquis' Mansion. At this moment, she was kneeling in front of Mu Qingyan, trembling.

Thinking of that dream, Mu Qingyan's hatred grew even stronger. The original owner had been so good to her, but she repaid him with evil. How could such a person deserve to be alive?

"Yulan, since you followed me, have I ever done anything wrong to you?"

Yulan shook her head suddenly. She had long lost the glory of a maid. At this moment, her hair was unkempt and her clothes were ragged. "The young lady has been very good to me. Her kindness is as great as a mountain..."
