Lin Zhiyue's face was deathly pale. His father had passed away years ago, leaving him and his mother to depend on each other for survival.

If he loses his mother now, wouldn't he be all alone in this world?

But no matter how much he pleaded, it was useless to obey the Emperor's order, not to mention that he didn't even have the chance to see the Emperor now.

"You'd better give up on that idea now; you've committed a capital offense!"

Gu Yunwei's eyes were full of mockery. Seeing Lin Ruolan end up like this, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Live it!

If you dare to hit her, beheading would be too lenient for you!

"Mother-in-law, my mother only acted out of anger to protect me. Why are you so heartless?" Lin Zhiyue asked, her eyes red.

Gu Yunwei glanced at him, her expression arrogant, "Lin Zhiyue, you need to understand that the only person who might be able to help you right now is me!"

Your mother brought this upon herself. Either she dies or I die. If I die, neither you nor Shuangshuang will survive!

"If you have to blame someone, blame your mother for being ungrateful!"

"You vile woman, how can there be such a vicious person as you in this world? Die!"

Lin Ruolan suddenly rushed over, grabbed a handful of mud mixed with excrement from the ground, and, unable to vent her anger, shoved it directly into Gu Yunwei's mouth!

Not only that, after stuffing it in, she tightly covered Gu Yunwei's mouth, giving her no chance to vomit.

"You're spewing filth from my mouth, you'd better eat it all!"

The sudden turn of events left Qin Shuangshuang stunned. She watched as her mother was fed excrement, her face turning bright red, wanting to vomit but unable to.

The mother-in-law seemed to have gone completely mad, her grip unusually strong. She couldn't help but say:

"Zhiyue, what are you standing there for? Tell your mother to let go!"

Lin Zhiyue looked at the crazed Lin Ruolan, and strangely, he had no intention of stopping her.

My mother is going to be beheaded tomorrow, so let her do whatever she wants now.

Seeing that Lin Zhiyue remained unmoved, Qin Shuangshuang rushed forward and tried to pry Lin Ruolan's hands apart, but Lin Ruolan, in her frenzy, was as strong as an ox and could not be moved even slightly.

A moment later, Lin Ruolan released her grip on Gu Yunwei's lips, and the latter immediately spat it out.

Lin Ruolan didn't stop there. She grabbed his hair and pulled hard, saying, "If you want my life, you won't have it easy either!"

During the fight at the Qin family's house, Gu Yunwei had a large clump of hair pulled out. Now, Lin Ruolan was using all her strength, as if she wanted to pluck all of Gu Yunwei's hair out completely.

At this moment, Gu Yunwei was truly frightened.

This woman is insane; she even wants to drag her down with her!

"Help me! Help me!" Gu Yunwei screamed frantically, her scalp felt like it was being ripped off!

"Mother-in-law, calm down, let go first!"

Qin Shuangshuang was also frightened by this scene. She pulled hard with both hands, but to no avail. She had never realized that her mother-in-law was so strong!

In desperation, Qin Shuangshuang took out the hairpin she had hidden and stabbed it fiercely into Lin Ruolan's hand.

In an instant, blood gushed out.

Madam Lin screamed and snatched the hairpin from Qin Shuangshuang's hand.

Lin Zhiyue's expression changed upon seeing this, and he roared angrily, "Shuangshuang, how could you hurt my mother like this?"

Qin Shuangshuang was furious. "If you hadn't interfered, I wouldn't have had to take action. Were you just going to stand by and watch my mother get beaten to death?"

"You two bastards! Your mother was no good, and neither are you!"

Gu Yunwei was in so much pain that she cried. Looking at the hair that had been pulled out on the ground, she felt as if a large chunk of her head was missing.

Lin Zhiyue couldn't hold back any longer. "You caused my mother's death, and now you've only suffered a minor injury. Are you still complaining?"

Gu Yunwei asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

Lin Ruolan's eyes hardened, and while Gu Yunwei was crying out, she grabbed the hairpin with her bloodied hand and slashed at Gu Yunwei's face!

Anyway, she's going to die anyway. Even if I can't kill Gu Yunwei, I'll never let her have a good life!

The moment Gu Yunwei sensed the danger, she tried to back away, but it was too late. She felt the hairpin slash her face, causing intense pain.

"what--"

A piercingly sharp sound rang out, and Gu Yunwei's eyes were filled with deep terror. She covered her injured face and looked down to see the bloody red stains on her hands.

"Blood, it's all blood..."

Gu Yunwei was terrified and looked at Qin Shuangshuang in a panic, "Has my face been disfigured?"

Qin Shuangshuang was already shocked by Lin Ruolan's madness. Usually, she was just good at talking, but this time it seemed like she wanted to kill her mother with her own hands!

She was about to curse when she met Lin Ruolan's bloodshot eyes, which frightened her so much that she didn't dare to utter a sound.

She had no doubt that if she hadn't been pregnant with Zhiyue's child, her fate would probably not have been much better.

"Ding!"

The hairpin fell to the ground, and Lin Ruolan collapsed to the ground as if she had lost all her strength, her mind filled with the thought that she would be beheaded the next day.

Just a few months ago, she was the glamorous Madam Lin, and everyone greeted her with a smile. But tomorrow, she will be beheaded in front of so many people.

It's not just the horror of death that's unbearable, but also the unbearable sight of so many people mocking them!

"Zhiyue, you must remember that it was this bitch who deliberately plotted to harm me, and she was never sincere towards you."

Lin Ruolan held Lin Zhiyue's hand and couldn't help but cry, "I really regret not stopping you back then. It was my fault. I thought you finally had a girl you liked, and even though I knew she was a vixen, I still didn't stop you."

If I had known they would harm you like this, I would never have let her in the door!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Lin Zhiyue's eyes were filled with heartache, and the regret in his heart reached its peak at this moment.

"Mother, it's all my fault. If I hadn't done something wrong, you wouldn't be in this situation because of me..."

Qin Shuangshuang was already heartbroken over Gu Yunwei's disfigurement, and when she discovered that Lin Zhiyue not only showed no remorse but also started to blame them, she was furious.

"Lin Zhiyue, the reason you've become like this is clearly Song Ruozhen's fault. It's because you're incompetent that you're blaming it all on me? Have you no shame!"

However, unlike Lin Zhiyue's forbearance when he complained before, his eyes were full of hostility at this moment.

"My mother was right, you're the one who dragged me down! If I hadn't been blind enough to fall for you, my mother wouldn't have died, and I wouldn't be a prisoner!"

Qin Shuangshuang had never seen Lin Zhiyue's gaze so terrifying. She opened her mouth, but could only say, "Don't forget, I'm still carrying your child!"

"This child...you don't even know whose it is, it might be a bastard!"
