In my previous life, I killed my whole family. In my next life, I killed the royal family.
Chapter 146 The End of Jealousy
The capital city today is even more lively than during the Chinese New Year, with surging crowds of people everywhere.
Countless people gathered here, not just to witness with their own eyes the thrilling scene of the execution of those heads of the aristocratic families who are usually high and mighty.
More importantly, he witnessed another remarkable event - the King of Nannan personally brought an extremely generous betrothal gift, which he wanted to give to Qi Wan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
When King Nannan led a huge army and entered the capital in a mighty manner, the whole city was in an uproar.
The streets were crowded with curious and excited people, who were vying to see the noble king and the luxurious betrothal gifts he brought.
The long team carried gold, silver, jewelry, silks, satins and various precious items, shining with dazzling light, as if showing the deep affection of King Nannan for the eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
With the arrival of King Nangan, the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion also fell into busyness and joy.
The family members and servants were busy preparing to welcome the distinguished guests and decorated the mansion in an exceptionally solemn and magnificent manner.
Qi Wan felt both pleasantly surprised and nervous, as if countless butterflies were flying in her heart. She didn't know what the future would be like, but she was willing to try. This feeling made her feel unprecedented sweetness and anticipation.
Wu Yi looked at Qi Wan's restless expression, and understood her thoughts. He couldn't help but smiled softly and said, "Master, don't worry. You will be with that master in three days."
When Qi Wan heard this, her face suddenly turned red. She shyly pushed her away and said angrily, "Well, you dare to make fun of me! I think it would be better for me to find a suitable husband for you and marry you off."
When Wu Yi heard this, he bowed and apologized, and said anxiously: "Master, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again. Please don't marry me off."
She changed the subject and talked about the interesting things she had just seen on the street, and how the people who were to be executed by Ding Jinxiu behaved when they met the King of Nangan.
Ding Jinxiu stood in the prison van, staring straight ahead, her face full of jealousy and resentment.
When she saw the handsome face of King Nan'an, she could not help but feel an indescribable emotion in her heart. His elegant temperament and handsome face were exactly the kind of husband she had always wanted.
What made her even more angry was the long line of rich betrothal gifts, glittering with gold and dazzling with all kinds of things. All this wealth and glory would belong to that hateful woman Qi Wan!
Her body was shaking with anger and tears were glistening in her eyes.
She remembered that she was once a proud woman with a beautiful dream and future, but now everything has been shattered. She felt extremely wronged and unwilling. Why was fate so unfair? Why couldn't she be happy?
Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she could no longer suppress the pain and despair in her heart.
She began to cry loudly, her voice was shrill and sad. "We are both ladies of the Qi Mansion. I am younger and more beautiful than her, but why can't I meet such a good man? Why can't I be the queen? Why can't I get such a large betrothal gift..."
Her cries echoed in the air, carrying endless sadness and resentment.
The people around her gave her strange looks, pointed at her and cursed, "She is still jealous of her cousin even when she is about to die. How evil."
The escorting woman interrupted her and said, "Be a good person in your next life and remember, don't hurt others again."
Ding Jinxiu finally came to her senses. She was about to be beheaded. She cried even more sadly and cursed non-stop, "If Qi Wan marries him, she will be despised and her husband will be taken away by another woman..."
She also made a wish, "When I die, I want to be reincarnated as a beautiful woman and snatch Qi Wan's husband!"
These words were heard by the escorting guard, who quietly told the official what Ding Jinxiu had said.
"You don't repent even when you are about to die, and you are still thinking about harming others." The official said coldly, "Take her body..." He made some arrangements for his men. He wanted Ding Jinxiu to never think of reincarnating as a human again.
When Lu Fengyun faced the King of Nannan, he suddenly realized one thing: If I had married Miss Qi before, would everything in my life be different?
After all, he was a child of an aristocratic family and a top scholar. At the end of his life, he finally realized that if a person wants to go far and have a brilliant future, "he still has to be honest and treat others sincerely. That is the way out."
Lu Fengyun muttered to himself with lifeless eyes: "I regret it so much..."
He felt like a fool. He already had so much, but he was still not satisfied. He always wanted more and wanted to be a prime minister or a king, but in the end he put himself in a dead end.
And now, he finally understood that it was all a dream, a nightmare from which he could never wake up.
At the same time, Hu Dingmin and Ding Jinxiu were also escorted to the execution ground. Their faces were equally pale, and their eyes revealed despair and helplessness. They knew that today was the end of their lives and they could not escape no matter what.
Soon, Lu Fengyun, Hu Dingmin and Ding Jinxiu were tied to three wooden stakes, waiting for death to come.
The three of them seemed so small and fragile at that moment, as if a gust of wind could blow them away. However, they did not receive even a trace of mercy and sympathy, but only endless ridicule and insults.
At this time, Empress Dowager Lu, Duke Huiguo, and the people sent by the Qi government to watch the execution stood in the distance, watching everything that happened in front of them coldly. Their eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness, as if these three people were just three lambs to be slaughtered.
With an order, the executioner raised the big knife in his hand and Ding Jinxiu chopped it down. In an instant, blood splattered and the head rolled down.
Lu Fengyun and Hu Dingmin were tortured to death in such a miserable way that not even their bodies were left.
In this way, the once glorious Lu Fengyun, Hu Dingmin, and Ding Jinxiu ended their sinful lives in the scorn of the people. Their story has become a warning to the world not to be too greedy, otherwise they will pay a heavy price.
In the camp of the army defending the city, there was a small corner that was particularly eye-catching. There was a haggard woman with disheveled clothes, her hands and feet were tightly tied, unable to move. She was lying on a simple small bed, and in front of her was a long line of old men waiting.
The men were talking among themselves as they lined up.
One of the men said: "I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Qi family would marry so well. Not only was she named a princess, but she also married the King of Nan'an with a city and became the queen."
Another man echoed: "Yeah, it's really enviable!"
After hearing what they said, the woman who was tied up to receive the guests suddenly screamed and began to curse: "The eldest daughter of the Qi family who deserved a bad death actually married into a good family? I curse her to never be happy in her life!"
Obviously, this woman had a deep hatred for the eldest daughter of the Qi family, and she really couldn't bear to hear that her enemy was living so well.
When the men in the queue heard the woman's yelling, they became furious.
Someone scolded her: "People like you who can't stand others doing well are destined to live a life worse than pigs and dogs!"
Someone sneered, "She became a military prostitute, isn't she worse than pigs and dogs?"
The soldier in charge of the prostitute in the barracks heard the woman yelling and came over with a whip, and lashed her naked body several times, "How dare you scold Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Queen of Nan'an, you are courting death."
Cheng was beaten so badly that her skin was torn and she saw stars and screamed in pain.
"Ugly old woman, howling like a ghost." The soldier was annoyed and took off his dirty socks and stuffed them into her mouth.
Cheng fainted from the strong stench.
Even though she worked as a military prostitute, Cheng was still jealous of Qi Wan. She entertained customers for several hours a day and never reflected on her behavior.
Who could have imagined that the Lu family, once so famous and so powerful in the capital, would now come to the point of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated?
The culprit for this was Cheng! Because of her jealousy and hatred towards the Qi family, she deliberately took advantage of the situation and provoked Qi Wan to open a bank. All of this was like a chain of events, one link after another, which eventually led to the current irreversible situation.
Originally, as a prominent family, the Lu family could continue to maintain their reputation and status, and even have the possibility of regaining higher prestige in the court. However, all this was shattered because of her jealousy.
Jealousy and hatred are an invisible blade that hurts not only others but also yourself.
