Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 322: A Concubine's Daughter Defies Heaven and Changes Her Fate (End)

It turned out that Prince Yan was initially escorted out of the capital. When he learned that the eldest princess was being coerced by others, he really could not tolerate such a situation.

So he resolutely chose to give up resistance and surrender.

In the end, the once invincible King Yan committed suicide under the city wall, ending his short but eventful life.

After going through many hardships, the eldest princess was finally rescued and regained her freedom.

But after witnessing her own brother's tragic death in front of her own eyes, her heart was already broken and she had lost all hope.

Just as she was slowly leaving the city wall, she took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention to her and suddenly jumped from the towering city wall without hesitation, ending her life in such a decisive way.

After hearing this, Wen Ren Ling couldn't help feeling sad.

He ordered the eldest princess to be properly buried in the imperial mausoleum in the capital to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

As for the King Yan, who had instigated this disaster and committed heinous crimes, Wen Ren Ling ruthlessly ordered his body to be torn into pieces and hastily buried in a mass grave, leaving him to be spurned and despised by the world.

As the storm gradually subsided, everything seemed to slowly return to its former calm.

Shi Qing originally planned to send Xie Wanning to the most outstanding academy in the capital to continue her studies, hoping that she could become a well-educated and talented woman through diligent study.

However, to everyone's surprise, Xie Wanning shook his head firmly, saying that he had read all the Four Books and Five Classics and even knew all kinds of military books and formations.

She raised her head, looked at Shi Qing with a sharp gaze and said, "I don't want to be trapped in the study, accompanied by pen, ink, paper and inkstone all day long.

I long to join the military, fight on the battlefield, and become a mighty general in the future!"

In this era, the imperial court did not impose too many harsh restrictions and constraints on women, which undoubtedly gave them more opportunities to pursue their dreams and demonstrate their self-worth.

Xiao Wan Ning has had great ambitions since she was young. She longs to help the world and alleviate poverty, and use her abilities to help those in distress, and become a great knight who travels the world and helps the poor.

Or you can become a brave and courageous young general, leading thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield to defend your country.

Even if it is just to leave a few words of your own name on that thick history book!

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Many years later, Xie Wanning, with her unremitting efforts and extraordinary talent, finally lived up to everyone's expectations and realized her childhood dream, becoming the youngest and most famous female general in the Yanbei area.

Not only that, due to her outstanding leadership skills and extraordinary military achievements, she is also regarded as the future head of the Xie family.

However, whenever other members of the Xie family are mentioned, people can't help but sigh.

Back then, that respected old lady had already gone to the Jiangnan region six years ago to enjoy her old age.

Now, in the Duke's Mansion, only the Duke is left alone in the empty room. Oh no, to be more precise, he is only accompanied by his beloved and delicate concubine.

Speaking of the original wife, Mrs. Xie, her fate is truly sad.

Because of what happened to her son Xie Lin'an, Mrs. Xie was so angry that she fell ill.

But who would have thought that the cruel and heartless Duke would not care about the relationship between husband and wife at all and would not seek medical treatment for the seriously ill Madam Xie.

Poor Mrs. Xie lay in bed day after day, suffering from illness, and eventually died with hatred in her heart.

After learning the news of his mother's death, the grief-stricken Xie Lin'an could no longer suppress his inner anger. He resolutely had a fierce conflict with the Duke and injured him.

This action naturally angered the concubines in the mansion. They took the opportunity to add insult to injury and jointly drove Xie Linan out of the Duke's Mansion.

When leaving the Duke's Mansion, Xie Lin'an took his young daughter with him without hesitation. From then on, the father and daughter depended on each other for survival, living in seclusion in a quiet courtyard...

However, fate was cruel to him and his legs were severely injured and he was limping.

He fell into trouble from then on, and had no choice but to rely on selling books to make a living.

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Xie Linan would feel dazed when recalling the past, as if the first half of his life was just an illusory fantasy.

In that dreamlike memory, he was once a noble and respected prince.

At that time, wherever he went, people flattered him and tried to please him.

But one day, the appearance of a person completely changed everything.

From then on, his wealth and glory gradually faded away, and he ended up with nothing, even becoming the object of everyone's ridicule and mockery.

The hands that had never been stained by dust or the hard work were now covered with thick calluses from long hours of writing at the desk.

After going through untold hardships, he finally raised his beloved daughter to adulthood.

I gradually saved some money, and my life was finally a little more stable.

Who would have thought that just when his daughter was getting married, the hateful Prince Yan led his men to cause chaos in the capital.

His kind-hearted daughter, seeing a pregnant woman in danger, stepped forward without hesitation to rescue her.

However, the brutal soldiers of King Yan showed no mercy. They brandished their sharp swords and instantly took away her young and precious life.

At this point, the last glimmer of hope in Xie Lin'an's heart was completely shattered.

He used all the money he had saved up with great difficulty to buy fine wine, and indulged himself in it every day, living a muddle-headed life that felt like years.

It seemed that only when he fell asleep in a drunken stupor could he turn back into the proud, arrogant and domineering young master of the past, and relive the long-gone youthful recklessness and high spirits.

It’s a pity that his original ambitions ultimately ruined his lifelong happiness.

In the fifth year of Wenren Ling's reign, Xie Lin'an put on new clothes, drank drunkenly and recited poems on the bridge.

Perhaps it was because the alcohol was too strong, or perhaps it was because the obsession in his heart was too deep, but Xie Linan staggered towards the water as if he was possessed.

The moon hangs high in the night sky, emitting a cool glow.

His eyes were hazy and he kept muttering to himself.

"As long as I pick this moon, it will belong to me alone..."

As he got closer to the water, his body leaned forward, as if he could really embrace the distant moon in his arms.

However, at this moment, tragedy struck.

He stumbled and fell directly into the water, splashing everywhere.

The freezing cold river water instantly covered his head. Although he struggled desperately, he was drunk and his limbs gradually became heavy and weak.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally a passerby noticed the abnormality in the water.

By the time they rushed over and pulled Xie Linan out of the water, it was already too late.

Xie Lin'an's face was as pale as paper, lifeless, and he had stopped breathing.

Everyone was panicked and didn't know what to do. After some discussion, they decided to report the matter to the police first.

When officials arrived, after some investigation and identification, someone was surprised to find that the person who drowned was actually the son of the Duke's Mansion!

The news soon reached the Duke's Mansion. Duke Ding was heartbroken after hearing the sad news, but since things had come to this point, he could only force himself to come and deal with the aftermath.

Finally, Duke Dingguo personally came forward to bury Xie Lin'an properly.

What is really sad is that Duke Dingguo did not let his son rest in the ancestral tomb, but buried him casually in a side tomb, as if he wanted to deliberately erase this unpleasant past.

Yes, if it weren’t for Xie Lin’an, the glory of the Duke’s Mansion would not have been ruined.

This is the pain in Duke Dingguo's heart. Now the Xie family seems to be safe, but if the emperor wants to clean up the Xie family, it will only take a few minutes.

Xie Beiling returned to the capital and was named King Xiaoyao by Wenren Ling, who also gave him 10,000 soldiers.

However, Xie Beiling did not refuse the title of Regent, but asked Wenren Ling to take back the military power. It was enough for him to be a general in marching and fighting, but if other things happened, it might be difficult to control.

The legend of Xie Beiling has always been circulating in the teahouses and taverns in the capital. In short, it is also a good story in the capital.

In addition to leading troops to fight, Xie Beiling also accepted a mission to train martial arts with Wenren Gui, the emperor's adopted son.

The child was born with blue eyes, but he was a loner. However, he was a good candidate for martial arts.

Sometimes, when Xie Beiling wanted to train with Xie Wanning, he would bring the child along. For some reason, when Wanning saw Wen Rengui for the first time, she wanted to duel with her.

If Shi Qing hadn't stopped him, the little bully's slap would have landed on Wenren Gui's face.

Shi Qing taught Wan Ning a serious lecture, "You are now senior and junior brothers and sisters, so you are not allowed to bully your senior brother."

Shi Qing came according to age. Wen Rengui is two years older than Wan Ning.

Xie Wanning's pretty face showed dissatisfaction. She puffed out her cheeks and spoke to Shi Qing with gritted teeth.

"Mom, you said to arrange them by age, I think it should be first come first served, I want to be the senior sister!"

Under Wan Ning's insistence, Shi Qing had to agree, and at the same time felt sorry for the child Wen Rengui.

If Shi Qing knew that one day this well-behaved little disciple would come with her daughter to ask for marriage, she would definitely kick him out right away!

Xie Wanning was accustomed to the brutal swords and knives on the battlefield, and her martial arts became more and more advanced. She was even awarded the position of general, but she was also a girl who loved cosmetics.

Wan Ning's coming-of-age ceremony was held with great fanfare. Half of the officials in the capital came, but Duke Dingguo did not come. He only sent his concubine.

Shi Qing was dealing with guests when he saw someone in the crowd whom he hadn't seen for many years. It was Hongxiang.

Hongxiang saluted Shi Qing with neither arrogance nor servility, "Congratulations to Miss Wan Ning on her coming of age. Among the young talents in the capital, I'm sure you're spoiled for choice."

Shi Qing was somewhat curious. She asked softly, "You were pregnant with Xie Lin'an's child back then, so why did you become Duke Dingguo's concubine?"

When talking about the past, Hongxiang just felt that too many years had passed, and she sneered.

"Back then, because of that brothel girl, Xie Lin'an made Jiang Xianyu sick. I was about to give birth at that time. When Jiang Xianyu, who was seriously ill, learned that I was about to give birth, she transferred the doctor away.

When I was halfway through labor, she found out I was giving birth to a boy. She dug the baby out alive and threw it into a brazier, burning it to charcoal. I was like a floating duckweed, unable to even save my own life, let alone the baby.

This was said lightly, but Shi Qing knew in his heart that the extent of the pain was hard to describe, but fortunately, happiness would come after suffering.

"Forget it, it's all in the past. It's my fault for not asking."

Hongxiang smiled slightly, then knelt down in front of Shi Qing and kowtowed heavily.

"You taught me how to protect myself and saved me twice, but I always confronted you. Qingqing, I'm sorry. As a woman, I shouldn't have been so persistent and hurtful to you."

Shi Qing shook his head. "That was all many years ago. It doesn't matter anymore. Just live the rest of your life well."

Hongxiang's knot in her heart was untied. After her miscarriage, it was Duke Dingguo who comforted her. So, she followed Duke Dingguo regardless of her shame.

Mrs. Xie was so angry that she almost died, but Hongxiang couldn't even control her own destiny, let alone others'. Some things were hard to say.

Jiang Xianyu is dead, and all the past grievances and entanglements are over. Now that Xie Lin'an is not accepted by Duke Dingguo, it is also the retribution for his unfaithfulness.

However, when a person dies, his debts are settled. When Hongxiang heard the news of Xie Linan's death, she cried all night.

The status of a concubine was something she had never dreamed of in the past, and even living there was a luxury. Xie Linan, who was once such a successful and ambitious young man, ended up being unknown, which also made Hongxiang heartbroken.

Half of my life has passed, and all the bitterness has become the past.

After the coming-of-age ceremony, Shi Qing's health became worse and worse. Even though many medicines were sent to the palace, her body still did not recover.

Shi Qing passed away ten years later, dying on a sunny summer day, lying quietly on a swing, closing his eyes with a smile.

After Wan Ning got married, she returned home to visit Shi Qing, only to find that her mother had passed away...

"Mom, Mom, please don't abandon me and Dad."

Wan Ning cried with red eyes. She would go back home to visit her mother every once in a while because she was worried about this day.

Unfortunately, life and death are determined by fate, and she couldn't keep her mother.

Xie Beiling held Shi Qing in his arms and spoke softly.

"Wan Ning, be quiet. Your mother likes quietness. She likes to listen to the guqin music you play. So, play "The World" to send your mother off."

The man's voice was firm and gentle. He kissed his wife's cheek, and a line of tears fell.

It's too late for us to meet in this life, my dear. You must meet me earlier in the next life.

Xie Wanning stopped crying and asked someone to bring her a guqin. The sound of the guqin was clear and pleasant, but it could not hide the deep sorrow in it.

Hearing is the last thing to disappear after death, and Shi Qing can hear it.

[How can a painting of a country stained with blood compare to the cinnabar between your eyebrows? Even if the world is overthrown, it is still just a song of prosperity.]

……

All I could hear was the familiar beeping sound, and Tuanzi's voice echoed in my mind.

[Congratulations to the host, the mission was completed perfectly, the system scored eight stars, congratulations to the host. ]

Shi Qing looked around in a trance, and the last image in his mind was the Wisteria Courtyard in Jiangnan.

She had spent decades in that world when she died. She left with a smile in Xie Beiling's arms. When she woke up, she returned to the system space. The feeling of weightlessness suddenly made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Tuanzi sang a cheerful song, and its level rose again and again!

The host is mighty!!
