Madam Ye fell to her knees and begged, "Your Majesty, I did this, but I have my reasons. I want to avenge the Empress and your brother who died in vain!"
Xiao Ling interrupted angrily, "Shut up! It's been so long, why are you still bringing this up? They brought their own deaths upon themselves. What does this have to do with Aunt Wan?"
Madam Ye's face was covered with tears. She cried and shook her head; "I can't let go. I can see your mother crying in my dreams at midnight. Your Majesty, you are her biological son!"
A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Ling's eyes. He shouted angrily, "Come here! The Ye family is full of evil. They plotted to murder Aunt Wan and me. They will not be forgiven lightly. They will be punished with a hundred strokes of the cane!"
Madam Ye shouted anxiously, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I have already realized my mistake. Please show some mercy, please!"
Xiao Ling turned a deaf ear and just waved his hands vigorously.
Lin Yiwan said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I will go and see her off for the last time!"
Xiao Ling nodded tiredly: "Okay!"
Lin Yiwan followed Madam Ye to the Criminal Court and saw her kneeling on the ground in a dishevel, her eyes full of ferocious hatred.
She cursed loudly, "Lin Yiwan, you are the one who deserves to die the most. You took my son away, killed my sister, and Xiao Yu!"
Lin Yiwan looked down at her condescendingly. "No, you're wrong. If it weren't for me, you and your children would have died long ago. And your sister wouldn't have been able to get pregnant with twins. It's you who doesn't know how to be grateful and has to dwell on this!"
Madam Ye refused to admit the fact that she was not wrong at all.
At this time, the old nanny who was torturing her had already brought out a dozen red strips. She said in a serious tone, "Madam Hou, it's time to send Madam Ye off!"
Madam Ye's face suddenly turned pale. She tried to struggle to stand up, but two old maids held her hands and feet tightly.
She gritted her teeth and murmured, "Lin Yiwan, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go. Just wait, I will watch you die!"
Lin Yiwan sneered, "Okay, if you become a ghost, just come find me and I can still destroy your soul!"
She turned her back and heard Madam Ye struggling and groaning in pain behind her.
The thick wooden board hit her back and forth, and even though her mouth was blocked, she could still make horrifying screams.
Blood flowed all over the ground and gradually accumulated into a river.
Lin Yiwan walked out with a calm and composed expression.
The news that Madam Ye was executed quickly spread throughout the capital, including Ye Qian.
He went into the palace to find the emperor and wanted to collect his body.
He said bitterly, "After all, she is my mother. Even if she made a mistake in the end, she shouldn't be a lonely ghost. She must be buried next to my father!"
The emperor agreed and allowed him to take Madam Ye out of the palace.
Ye Qian did not hold a grand funeral. He and Ye Li just buried her hastily.
Afterwards, the two separated again.
Lin Yiwan began to live a peaceful life again, but she missed her father and mother very much and wondered whether they were doing well in the north.
Zhan Yan saw her worry and suggested that they go to the northern border in the spring after the New Year so that they could take the children to see the world.
Lin Yiwan readily agreed and she couldn't wait to leave the capital.
Because there were too many social engagements in the capital, and some powerful people began to set their sights on Zhan Mu, wanting to marry their daughters to him.
She was overwhelmed with invitations to banquets and was too exhausted to attend, so she could only selectively attend banquets.
Until one day, Zi'er walked in quickly with a note and said, "Madam, this is a note from the eldest princess. She said she wants to hold a birthday party for the little princess!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies! The little princess is having another birthday! I haven't seen her in ages!"
Because the eldest princess took the little princess to live in her fiefdom for a long time, and only returned to the capital recently when her health improved.
She ordered people to prepare rich gifts and head straight to the Princess's Mansion.
The eldest princess's appearance has not changed, she is even more radiant.
The little girl next to her was so chubby that Lin Yiwan almost didn't recognize her.
She remembered that when the little princess was snatched back from the prince consort's house, she was still extremely thin.
She even doubted whether she could still support herself.
But I didn't expect that he would grow up to be so likable.
It is very cute and delicate.
The eldest princess immediately called out when she saw her, "Wanwan, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you!"
After the words fell, she tugged at the little princess' wrist: "Zhu'er, call me aunt!"
Little Zhuer blinked her eyes and said, "Hello, auntie!"
Lin Yiwan pinched her little face and said, "Zhu'er, you are so good. Look what gift your aunt brought you."
She took out a bracelet studded with rubies and put it on her little wrist with her own hands.
The ruby was already sparkling and bright, and the little princess jumped up in delight: "Mother, I really like this bracelet that my aunt gave me. It's so beautiful!"
The eldest princess lowered her eyes and chuckled softly: "Your aunt loves you, why don't you thank her quickly?"
The little princess bowed and saluted: "Thank you, aunt!"
Lin Yiwan reached out to support her. She was infected by the little princess' smile and felt much brighter.
The eldest princess first took the little princess to greet the guests, and then handed her over to the wet nurse.
She and Lin Yiwan walked to a secluded place and asked, "I heard that the emperor sentenced Madam Ye to death?"
Lin Yiwan replied nonchalantly, "She keeps provoking me. I can't let her stay!"
The eldest princess agreed, "That's how it should be. She's giving up her good life and insisting on bringing up old things to hold you accountable. What right does she have?"
Lin Yiwan waved her hand: "Let's not talk about her anymore. It's a spoiler on such a happy occasion. Now that you're back, you shouldn't go to the fiefdom anymore, right?"
The princess shook her head and said, "No, Zhu'er is now in very good health. It's time for her to come back to the capital to see the world. I'm worried that if she stays in the fiefdom for too long, she will become a wild girl!"
Lin Yiwan laughed: "Don't say that, Zhu'er is still young, she should grow up happily!"
As the two were talking, they saw a lady in brocade clothes quickly approaching and saying, "Madam Hou, Princess, I have brought my daughter to pay my respects to you two!"
She was smiling from ear to ear, with an undisguised flattery in her brows.
Lin Yiwan didn't recognize her, but the eldest princess knew her well. She introduced her, "Wanwan, she's the wife of the Crown Prince of Luyang Palace. Her father is a cousin of the Emperor and was named Prince of Luyang!"
The Crown Prince's wife explained, "Because I've been in my fiefdom of Luyang for many years, it's normal that the Marquis' wife doesn't recognize me!"
Lin Yiwan remembered that she had heard of Prince Luyang. It was said that he was a very wise prince who governed Luyang Prefecture very well.
But they have been in Luyang all the time, why did they suddenly come to Beijing?
The Crown Prince's wife explained her doubts: "My daughter is old enough, and I want to find a marriage for her in the capital. I hope the Marquis's wife and the Princess can help me find a husband!"
