After the divorce, the CEO's ex-wife asked for forgiveness

However, Xiao Jinglan ignored the three of them and instead pointed her sword at Ji Sha Rong, asking, "I want to know the reason. Tell me, why did you do this?"

"Girl, do you even need to ask? She just wants to restore her Ji family's power. What other reason could she have?" Xiao Beichen raised his sword. "Let me cut her down with one stroke."

Xiao Jinglan stopped her again.

He asked Ji Sha Rong again, "Speak, tell me the reason, it will be a way of atoning for you."

Xiao Beichen and the other two were puzzled. Wasn't this obvious? Why was Xiao Jinglan asking a question she already knew the answer to?

Unexpectedly, Ji Sha Rong opened her eyes and replied with a smile, "Jing Lan, promise your mother not to ask about the reasons behind it, and don't investigate. That's not someone you can mess with."

“I am guilty of many sins, and it is my just end that I die at their hands.”

After speaking, she slowly turned her head and looked at Ye Feng.

She even showed a rare kind expression, "Xiao Feng, I can't believe you've grown up so fast. Grandma is so proud of you."

"Remember, don't hold a grudge against your mother, and be sure to protect her."

The sudden change startled the group.

Xiao Beichen wasn't buying it. "Don't pretend to be a good person. Even if I'm struck by lightning, I'll still finish you off with my own hands."

He raised his sword again.

But then Xiao Jinglan took a step to the side and blocked Xiao Beichen's way.

Suddenly she said, "Brother, she was forced into it. She killed so many people, all to protect you."

These words struck like a thunderbolt, leaving the group stunned into silence the moment they were spoken.

What do you mean?

After pausing for a moment, Xiao Beichen glared angrily again, "Sister, stop making excuses for this kind of person. If you don't move aside, don't blame me for killing you too."

"I did not lie to you."

Xiao Jinglan's expression shifted slightly. "The reason she killed your elder brother and your wife and children was to protect you. Otherwise, the Xiao family would have been wiped out long ago, and none of you, your father, or your elder brother would have survived."

After saying that, she suddenly looked at Ji Sha Rong, "Mother, why won't you tell the truth now? Do you want my elder brother and father to hold a grudge against you for the rest of their lives?"

"There's nothing to say. I killed him, so I deserved it!"

After saying that, Ji Sha Rong looked at Xiao Bei Chen and smiled with satisfaction, "You and your elder brother are both heroes, and you are both my pride!"

Finished!

She suddenly stepped forward and rushed towards the tip of Xiao Beichen's sword.

laugh!

The longsword pierced through her body in an instant.

Blood drips.

Xiao Beichen was caught off guard and stood there stunned.

He longed for this moment every day, but when it actually happened, he was helpless.

"Now, cough cough... are you satisfied now?" Ji Sha Rong looked at Xiao Bei Chen calmly, then collapsed.

Bright red blood stained her clothes.

She lay there alone on the ground, surrounded by scornful stares.

In the end, only Xiao Jinglan squatted down and helped her sit up, asking, "Why? Our family was doing so well, why did it come to this?"

Her eyes held no sadness, only reproach.

Because she also knew that Ji Sha Rong's current predicament was of her own making, and no matter the reason, it could not cover up her demonic crimes.

Chengde.

Ji Sha Rong slowly raised her head and looked at Xiao Cheng De, "After I die, can I be buried next to them?"

"They" refers to the members of the Xiao family who were killed by her.

"Don't even think about it!" Xiao Beichen was already being merciful by not tearing her to pieces; how could he possibly bury her in the Xiao family's ancestral tomb?

"Cough cough..."

Ji Sha Rong coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She had no regrets, but her eyes were filled with resentment.

"Yes...it was wishful thinking on my part." After saying that, she closed her eyes and died in Xiao Jinglan's arms.

died!

Ji Sha Rong, that demon, is finally dead!

Having finally killed his enemy, Xiao Beichen should have been happy, but at this moment, his heart felt empty.

Looking at that hateful yet familiar face, the resentment in his heart had not subsided.

"Jinglan."

Xiao Beichen raised his sword and pointed it at Xiao Jinglan. "You just said she did it to save me and my father. What exactly happened? Explain yourself."

Although he didn't believe it, he still wanted to hear what she had to say.

Xiao Jinglan slowly rose, showing no sadness or extra expression, and simply spoke:

"When a person dies, their sins are absolved; it is no longer important."

"As she herself said, this is the end she deserved, so just consider her right."

Sensing that Xiao Jinglan was hiding many things, Ye Feng said excitedly, "Mother, please come back. As long as you explain everything clearly, my grandfather will forgive you. Even if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you."

He didn't believe his mother was a bad person.

However, Xiao Jinglan remained indifferent in the face of his desperate pleas.

"I have no good explanation. I did kill your father. If you want to kill me to avenge him, then come at me."

The voice contained no trace of regret, only indifference.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was filled with resentment. "Back then, when you took me away and left me, an eight-year-old child, in Jiangzhou, did you really treat me as a hostage?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jinglan replied without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He doesn't believe it!

He didn't believe his mother was that kind of person; otherwise, she wouldn't have killed Ji Ba to help save his grandfather.

"Jinglan, what difficulties are there? Can't we face them head-on? Xiaofeng is so capable now, what can't he solve?" Xiao Chengde said with a pained expression.

"unnecessary!"

Xiao Jinglan's expression was firm, and then she looked at Ye Feng, "Do you really think you are invincible? There are many people in this world who are more powerful than you. Some of them are people you can never reach. I hope you never meet them."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xiao Beichen, however, persisted, pointing his sword at him, "Don't talk such nonsense. You're not leaving until you've explained yourself clearly today."

Xiao Jinglan stopped in her tracks.

After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, "The Temple of the Gods, that's all I know!"

Temple of Heaven?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengde looked alarmed.

It was as if I had heard something incredibly terrifying.

"The Temple of the Gods, it really exists?" He stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Yes, the Heavenly God Palace is an existence you can never afford to offend. I hope you'll behave yourselves. However, if you want revenge for Ye Wudi, you can kill me now." She coldly looked at Ye Feng.

"Mother, with me here, everything will be resolved. You should come back to the Ye family with me." Ye Feng didn't care about the Heavenly God Palace.

The word "fear" does not exist in his dictionary.

Xiao Jinglan ignored him and said coldly, "If you're not going to make a move, I'm leaving."

After saying that, she lightly leaped away and escaped from everyone's sight.

Ye Feng wanted to chase after them, but ultimately held back.

I've said enough. No matter what, I can't keep her.
