Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

This was Xie Qingli's second time watching an execution.

The first time, she was an angry ghost, floating above the execution ground. She saw the onlookers crowded together, numb and indifferent, the executioner on the execution platform, hypocritical, like a beast in human clothing, and the executioners lined up with flesh on their faces, cruel and bloodthirsty.

Now, she became a member of the bustling crowd. Shi Tou felt that he could not see clearly enough, so he squeezed forward, and Xie Qingli had to catch up quickly.

"Pah~pah~pah~"

The executioner slammed the gavel several times, and the noisy crowd instantly quieted down.

The executioner stood up and held the imperial edict high. Everyone knelt down before he began to read it aloud.

The imperial edict enumerated all the evil deeds committed by Huang Dai and Kang Huaiyuan in Jiazhou, and the people were all filled with righteous indignation when they heard it.

However, the imperial edict did not mention anything about the Third and Fourth Princes, as if the rebellion was entirely the work of Huang Dai alone. Xie Qingli was slightly surprised. Had the emperor decided to let the Fourth Prince go?

After the imperial edict was read, the executioner threw the death card high into the air.

The prisoners were pushed onto the execution platform in rows. The first to be executed were adult men. They were all disheveled and had dull eyes. They mechanically walked to the designated position and knelt down. The executioner raised his knife with an expressionless face, and the heads rolled to the ground one by one.

The people cried out in surprise, some were very excited, while others were so scared that their faces turned pale and some even vomited.

Shitou stood beside Xie Qingli. It was the first time he saw beheading. He was so scared that his face turned pale. A layer of cold sweat seeped out of his forehead. His stomach was churning, as if it was about to burst out in the next second.

He urgently needed to divert his attention and find a spiritual support. He quickly turned his gaze to Xie Qingli. In his mind, although Xie Qingli was a woman, she was a martial arts expert and extremely strong. She was like an indestructible mountain and was the role model he wanted to follow in his life.

But what he saw was Xie Qingli's red eyes, tears silently sliding down her cheeks, and pale cheeks. She stared at the execution platform in dismay, with an aura of grief lingering around her, as if she had fallen into another world alone.

Shitou had never seen Xie Qingli so fragile before. He was a little panicked and approached Xie Qingli, calling out loudly: "Boss, Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Qingli stared blankly at the execution platform. She watched as the Jiang family members were pushed down and beheaded one by one. This time, she felt only sadness, not anger. She had been reborn once, but failed again? It was really funny. Her efforts were worthless!

Suddenly, she seemed to hear someone calling her, the voice was distant and ethereal. She turned her head away in despair, her vision blurred by tears. The stone's mouth seemed to be opening and closing, but she could not hear what the stone was saying.

She opened her eyes wide, trying to see the stone clearly, but when her sight passed by a half-open window on the second floor next to her, she unexpectedly met a pair of cold eyes behind the window. Strangely, she couldn't see the stone nearby, but those eyes could see it very clearly.

Chu Yuncang, who was in the private room upstairs, was also taken aback. In a trance, he seemed to see Li'er's distraught, tear-stained face! He looked closely and found Xie Qingli in the crowd.

He quickly pulled a scarf to cover his cheeks, opened the window, and flew down from the second-floor window like a nimble cheetah with his clothes fluttering.

His eyes were as sharp as a torch, and he flew to Xie Qingli like a gust of wind. He put his arms around her waist, tapped his toes lightly, and returned to the private room on the second floor in a few leaps.

Everything seemed to happen in a flash, and by the time everyone realized what was happening, they couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Like falling dominoes, they stopped looking at the execution platform and turned one by one to look at the window on the second floor.

Liu Guang in the room quickly closed the window, blocking everyone's view. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. The master is really silent, but when he does, he will make a big splash!

Chu Yuncang put Xie Qingli on the chair and called Li'er anxiously.

Xie Qingli, who had been lost in thought, finally came back to her senses. She looked around and asked in confusion, "Where is this?"

Chu Yuncang finally felt relieved and asked softly, "Li'er, what happened to you just now?"

Xie Qingli said with a sad expression, "I saw the Jiang family members being beheaded..." She turned her head to look towards the window and whispered, "It wasn't them, right?"

Chu Yuncang nodded and said softly, "No, Li'er, don't be afraid. I promise I won't let that happen."

"Boss, boss!" A series of shrill howls came from outside the window.

Xie Qingli then remembered Shitou, and she quickly said, "That's my friend. Can you let him in?"

Chu Yuncang nodded, and Liuguang hurried downstairs and brought Shi Tou in.

Shi Tou rushed to Xie Qingli as soon as he entered the room and asked anxiously, "Boss, are you okay?"

"You pervert..." He was about to question Chu Yuncang, but when he turned around, he saw the face that looked like a banished immortal, and was stunned for a moment!

Xie Qingli felt a little helpless. It turned out that she was not the only one who would be stunned when she saw Chu Yuncang's face.

Chu Yuncang was a little annoyed. Who was this person? He was so close to Li'er just now, and now he was looking at him like this! He said coldly, "How about me?"

Seeing that Shitou was about to get into trouble, Xie Qingli hurriedly said, "Shitou, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't be rude!"

Shitou was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Your humble servant... Shitou, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" He didn't know whether to call him "youthful servant" or "commoner".

Chu Yuncang said coldly: "Get up!"

Just at this moment, there was a commotion downstairs.

Xie Qingli stood up and opened the window a crack, and saw children being pushed onto the guillotine, just like when the children of the Jiang family were beheaded in her previous life. She resisted the urge to retract her hand, and silently told herself in her heart that these were not members of the Jiang family, not anymore.

Shitou also poked his head out to look. Suddenly, he was so frightened that he leaned against the window frame and trembled, "Boss, dog, dog..."

Xie Qingli looked towards the crowd, but didn't see the dog. He asked in confusion, "Where is the dog?"

Shitou reached out to grab the window and shouted tremblingly: "No, Gou'er is on the stage, don't kill him, Gou'er..."

Xie Qingli looked towards the stage and took a closer look. Sure enough, there was a child who looked very much like the dog. However, the executioner's knife, which had been raised high, suddenly fell down. The dog's neck was covered in spurting blood, and his head rolled on the ground.

When Shitou saw this scene, his eyes widened in horror and he collapsed to the ground. His little dog brother!!!

Xie Qingli's tears suddenly fell. She turned to look at Chu Yuncang and said in panic, "Gou'er, why was Gou'er chopped off? He's just a little beggar, not a member of the Huang family, nor a member of the Kang family! Whose scapegoat did he become?!"

Chu Yuncang stood up suddenly. Someone was actually using a beggar to impersonate a criminal? He frowned and hugged the frightened Xie Qingli distressedly, saying in a deep voice, "Don't panic, Li'er. I will investigate thoroughly!"
