Xie Anning didn't go out after all.

With her current identity, appearing in front of the Wang family would only be a mockery.

The victor's mockery of the vanquished.

Ishihara Qing helped her sit down and wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

Finally, he just gently held her hand and comforted her: "Don't feel any psychological burden."

The Wang family was a convicted official sentenced to be repatriated to his hometown and needed to leave the capital immediately.

When the Emperor heard of Mr. Wang's death, he immediately issued an oral order, expressing his willingness to give this veteran minister of two dynasties the final respect.

The Wang family was allowed to leave Beijing after completing Mr. Wang’s funeral.

But Mr. Wang’s funeral was still not held in the capital.

After thanking the emperor for his grace, Old Lady Wang said that she had no relatives in the capital, and to avoid the trouble of future sacrifices, she insisted on taking her late husband's body back to Liangzhou for burial.

That night, Wang Shaofu did not come back.

Early the next morning, news came that the Wang family had left Beijing with Mr. Wang's body.

When the sun was at its zenith, Wang Shaofu finally came back.

His eyes were red, his face and lips were pale, and his steps were unsteady and staggering.

The normally calm, unhurried and composed Young Master Wang now looked completely disheveled.

It's unbearable to look at.

Xie An Ning stood under the eaves, looking at the man walking slowly towards him under the bright sun, feeling a lump in his throat.

Finally, Wang Shaofu walked up to her.

Only then did Xie An Ning realize that he seemed to have not had water for a long time. His lips had cracked into several small cuts, and blood began to flow out as he opened his lips.

Wang Shaofu said, "I have asked for leave from Your Majesty and will return to Liangzhou."

Xie Anning nodded gently, "Okay."

No matter how many grievances there were, they all disappeared with the fall of the Wang family.

As father and son, he should go and see Mr. Wang off for the last time.

Even though the Wang family hated him to the core.

Wang Shaofu stared at her steadily, his eyes bloodshot, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into the depths of his soul.

Xie Anning couldn't stand such a look.

She turned her face away and forced a smile, "Go ahead."

She no longer knew how to face him.

There are too many people and things caught between them.

Now, there is one more life left for Mr. Wang.

Her smile was so ugly that Wang Shaofu's pupils trembled slightly. He could no longer hold back and stretched out his arms to hold her shoulders and buried his face in her neck.

"An Ning," he said hoarsely, "...I forced him to death. I forced him to death."

Tears flowed down her neck continuously, seeping through the collar of her clothes.

Xie Anning tilted her head back, blinked hard, and tried desperately to hold back her tears.

What to do.

she thinks.

Why is it like this?

Xie Anning stood straight, allowing the emotionally broken man in front of her to hug her and cry out loud. The servants who were cleaning had already tactfully left.

It was very quiet in the courtyard.

Wang Shaofu cried for a long time, as if he wanted to vent all the pain of his two lives.

It lasted so long that Xie Anning's collar was soaked.

It was so long that her legs felt numb from standing.

She never thought that a man could have so many tears.

When the head in the socket of his shoulder raised up, Xie An Ning looked into his eyes.

Red and swollen eyes, moist.

They were so close that she could easily see the lingering tears on his eyelashes.

For some unknown reason, Xie Anning subconsciously touched his eyes.

Both of them were startled.

After realizing what he had done, Xie Anning quickly withdrew his hand.

Wang Shaofu lowered his eyes and looked at her for a while, then let go of her hand.

"Take good care of your baby," he thought for a moment and said, "I'll be back before your due date."

The Wang family is one of the most powerful clans in Liangzhou. They are wealthy and powerful, with countless family properties, shops and land.

This time, the direct line of the family in the capital suffered misfortune and was sent back to their hometown, and three generations were not allowed to enter officialdom.

The Wang family's status in Liangzhou must have plummeted.

In the past, when there were high-ranking officials in the capital, even local officials had to show respect to them.

Now when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall falls, everyone pushes it down.

Without the protection of power, the Wang family will not be able to protect its treasure house.

Everyone wanted to rush up and take a bite of the meat.

When Wang Shaofu returned to Liangzhou, not only did he want to see Old Man Wang off for the last time, he also wanted to support the Wang family.

The Wang family can remain silent for three generations.

But we cannot be discouraged and fall into complete defeat.
