The big guy travels through the book and becomes the female supporting role, torturing the scumbag a

Beijing.

Rong'an Hall of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Situ Yue was holding a bowl of medicine and feeding it to his stepmother.

The lady lay weakly on the bed, drinking medicine and glaring at Situ Yue with resentment.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Situ Yue picked up a piece of plum with tweezers and put it into the lady's mouth.

The lady held a plum in her mouth, but her eyes as she looked at Situ Yue were still filled with resentment.

She gnashed her teeth and demanded, "You did this on purpose, didn't you? Why didn't you save your brother? You clearly swore an oath back then! Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Duke Dingguo sat on the embroidered cushion beside the bed, looking at the Madam calmly, his expression very calm: "Mother, have you finally stopped pretending? Situ Ming is not afraid of retribution for collaborating with the enemy and treason, so why should I be afraid?

If God thinks I am guilty, then just punish me. I have killed countless enemies over the years, so what if I die without a burial place?

As long as my descendants can live well, as long as the world is stable and the people are healthy, and no longer have to suffer the pain of war, I will have a clear conscience."

Similar conversations have happened many times.

After Situ Ming died, Duke Dingguo arranged everything in Hejian Prefecture and returned to the capital, leaving his son Situ Yan to continue garrisoning.

He first went to see Emperor Taihe, knelt down to apologize, and then went home to see his stepmother.

At this time, the old lady had fallen ill in bed due to anger over the tragic death of Situ Ming and his son. After seeing Situ Yue, she naturally no longer had the good face she used to have.

She took off all her disguises and kept cursing Situ Yue with extremely vicious words.

Situ Yue lived in Rong'an Hall and personally served the lady, allowing her to curse and feed her medicine and bring her water.

Now a month has passed, and although the lady still hates her stepson, she has become accustomed to his service.

But she could never forgive.

Whenever she thought of the miserable deaths of Situ Ming and his son, she wished she could tear Situ Yue into pieces!

The more the lady thought about it, the more she hated him!

"Situ Yue, kneel down!"

She sneered and spoke.

Situ Yue just sat quietly, looking at her coldly without any movement.

"I told you to kneel down!" the lady shouted angrily, "Don't forget, I'm your mother. Do you want to be disobedient and unfilial?"

Situ Yue said calmly: "My son dare not be unfilial, but now is not the time."

The lady frowned unhappily. "Now is not the time? Then when do you think is the right time?"

She stared at Situ Yue intently, and for some reason, she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen.

The lady subconsciously covered her stomach, her eyes widened as she looked at Situ Yue in disbelief: "You...you actually poisoned the medicine..."

But Situ Yue looked at her with cold eyes, a mocking smile on his lips: "Since mother is worried about Situ Yue and his son, why don't you go down and accompany them?

Before he died, father was most worried about you. I think you've been waiting for mother in the afterlife. Rest assured, mother. When you die, I will bury you with father and observe three years of mourning for you. I will never let mother be alone in the afterlife.

"You--" The lady was so angry that she raised her hand to grab Situ Yue, but he dodged her.

She was filled with hatred and soon spat out a large mouthful of blood, staining the quilt blood red.

The lady stretched out her arms as hard as she could, trying to grab Situ Yue.

However, Situ Yue had already retreated far away and was just looking at her with cold eyes, as if he was waiting for her death.

"You are so cruel..." The lady kept spitting blood, staring at Situ Yue with her eyes, "You are so cruel..."

She couldn't utter the word "death".

Because Situ Yue blocked her mouth with a spoon.

The lady could only stare at him with resentment and eventually died with her eyes open.

Soon, white cloth was hung in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

Situ Yue personally handled the funeral and buried the Dowager and the former Duke Ding together. Then he resigned from the throne and said that he would observe mourning for the Dowager for three years.

But Emperor Taihe did not agree.

The Xia Kingdom had only recently taken over Yan territory, and Emperor Taihe was worried. Leaving a formidable general like Situ Yue at home to observe mourning was sheer folly.
