After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

The nanny was locked up in the woodshed.

This poor widow who had lived a life of obedience almost broke her head and kept saying "I'm sorry, everyone" at the top of her lungs, but she did not receive any comfort or forgiveness from anyone.

No one could forgive her.

Yuan Ge went to the woodshed to see her. The elderly woman was sitting on the ground, her face covered in bloodstains which she had not even bothered to clean. When she saw Yuan Ge, she just raised her eyelids lazily, with a dead look on her face.

Yuan Ge stood in front of her, lowered his eyes and asked her, which was more important, the injustice of the deceased loved ones, or the hundreds of innocent lives? Among these hundreds of lives, there were her former master, the friends who took care of her, and the younger generations she took care of... When Yuan Ge was alive, he was indeed well taken care of by the other party, so now seeing the other party like this, he felt helpless.

Mammy hung her head and said nothing. After a long while, she smiled softly and said, "He told me that even if I were gone, there would be someone else. Since this disaster is unavoidable, I might as well be the bad guy. Yao Niang... I'm sorry, Yao Niang. It was me who urged her to die that day, and I said those self-deprecating words. If it weren't for that, if it weren't for that, would she not have died... After she passed away, I sorted out her old things and found a wooden box. Inside was all her thoughts written by herself, one by one, about that Liang... "

“How?” She couldn’t say any more. She just pounded the bluestone floor emotionally. She didn’t seem to feel any pain. She just screamed and roared, “That thing is a beast in human form! Poor my little mother… I killed her! I killed her! If I go to hell like this, how can I have the face to see her… I know Xuanshan will definitely have a disaster, so I might as well come…”

She kept saying that even if she didn't do it, someone else would do it. Anyway, the bowls for the plague victims had to be sent to the Great Elder's courtyard, so it would be better for her to do it, and she could also fulfill the only obsession she couldn't let go of in her life.

Even though she kowtowed so many times and apologized so many times, in her heart she had already found an excuse for herself to offend... The last bit of reluctance in her heart finally fell to the ground, shattered into tiny pieces, and scattered by the wind.

"No one else will do it." In the cold wind blowing in from outside, Yuan Ge looked at her coldly and curled his lips. "If you don't do it, no one else will do it. The people left in the courtyard are all old people who are loyal to the Great Elder. Only you... There is only one you. I was careless. I thought that even if you care about the deceased in your heart, you should know what is more important."

The other party looked up, then suddenly lowered his head, opened his mouth, and stammered for a long while, "I owe her... I owe her..."

"If you owe her something, pay it back yourself!" Yuan Ge suddenly raised his voice, "When did the hundreds of lives on the mountain owe her something that you have to use this method to pay off your debt? You have been raising an old man on Zhixuan Mountain for a few years, so you really think you are the ancestor of the mountain, and you are so confident in deciding life and death!"

The little girl who suddenly attacked, with her back to the light, had her eyebrows and eyes blurred, and only the sound of her gnashing teeth, every word falling into the ears, was like the collision of metal and stone, like the wrath of thunder.

The nanny shrank her neck and said nothing. She waited until the delicate embroidered shoe uppers disappeared from her sight. Suddenly, she called out hurriedly, "Young Madam!" She was anxious and subconsciously half-stood up, but then sat down heavily... She had been kneeling for too long, and her legs, which were already unsteady to begin with, could not even stand up straight. She had just been dragged all the way here by the servants.

Yuan Ge stopped, his toes just touching the threshold, but he did not turn around.

The nanny grabbed the table leg not far in front of her and moved forward, then she nervously called Yuan Ge, "Young Madam... I, I have an unwelcome request. I heard that Lord Song is a high-ranking official who is in charge of court officials. Can you ask Lord Song to investigate my youngest mother's case?"

Until now, the only person she is thinking about is her daughter who passed away many years ago.

I had never realized that this old widow was such a cold person before. Yuan Ge suppressed his lips, looked up at the gloomy sky, and refused firmly, "No."

"few--"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Yuan Ge, "From this moment on, you should pray that the Great Elder is safe and sound, and that the people in Zhixuan Mountain are not having a false alarm, otherwise..." She turned her head, her cold eyes swept across the other person's stunned expression, and she sneered and threatened, "Otherwise, not only will I not seek justice for your daughter, I will also have people dig up her grave! And feed her bones to the dogs! You just wait and see!" After that, she turned her head and left.

A strong wind blew the wooden door of the woodshed shut, and in the dim light of the room, there was an expression of the other person who was so stunned that he had no time to react.

When Yuan Ge walked out of the woodshed, he saw Song Wenyuan standing not far away. The remaining poison in Lord Song's body had not yet been cleared, and he had been staying up all night with them. The bruises under his eyes had not yet disappeared, and he looked cold and thin, tall and slender, as if he was stained with a layer of chilly frost in early spring.

Seeing Yuan Ge, he still chuckled to himself, "Why bother telling her all that? If you don't agree, then don't agree. But you insist on going to dig graves... There are so many people who hate you for no reason and curse you every day."

"There are many people who hate me. One more or one less doesn't make much difference." Yuan Ge didn't care at all. "I asked her which was more important, the innocence of the deceased or hundreds of innocent lives. Although she never said it clearly, it seemed that she had already made a choice in her voice. I am just speaking up for those lives that have been abandoned and given up."

"It's just that the weight of one person is heavier than that of ten thousand people..." Song Wenyuan lowered his eyebrows and sighed softly, knowing that he was originally such a person. If he were in the other's shoes, between Yuan Ge and innocent lives, he would always choose the former... Let alone hundreds of lives, thousands or tens of thousands of lives, what's the harm? They were originally extremely selfish people... Only this girl was different. Her anger at this moment was not just because of her grandfather and teacher, but she really cared about these hundreds of lives.

The murmur between the lips and teeth was unclear. Yuan Ge couldn't hear it clearly, so he looked up and asked him.

Song Wenyuan was unwilling to elaborate, he just shook his head and went straight to the point, "Honglan came to see you, it seems like she has something important to tell you. I asked her, but she didn't want to tell me, saying that she would have to meet you in person before she could tell me."

At that time, Yuan Ge guessed that Zhan Yanfeng would definitely go up the mountain to see his mother, so he thought of taking Hong Lan with him, so that this stubborn person could see with his own eyes what kind of cold and ungrateful Zhan Yanfeng was, and also to put an end to Hong Lan's stubbornness. Who knew that things were far beyond expectations, and after running around all night, he completely forgot about Hong Lan...

Yuan Ge nodded, "Okay. I'll go see her right away."
