So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

"Finished?"

Cang Lan glanced at Fang Yuwan with a cold expression and indifferent eyes, as if he had seen through her clumsy performance.

This caused Fang Yuwan, who had been shedding two lines of tears, to suddenly stop, as if she had been frozen in place by a spell.

Her eyes widened in disbelief. She never expected that Yun Muqing would not only show no sadness, but also react in a way that completely deviated from her expectations. This left her with no room to maneuver in the scenes she had prepared. She was stuck, unable to move forward or backward, and felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing the atmosphere instantly freeze and her carefully planned scheme about to fall apart, Madam Fang grew anxious. She quickly stepped forward, feigning anger, and pointed at Cang Lan, loudly rebuking her:

"Yun Muqing, how can you be so cold-hearted as my son's newlywed wife? From the moment you entered this mourning hall until now, you haven't shed a single tear."

My son was overjoyed to marry you, and in order to marry you as soon as possible, he rushed back day and night, which led to the worsening of his injuries and his death.

If he could know from beyond the grave how heartbroken he would be to learn that the person he loved with his life was so indifferent to his death! How could he find peace in the afterlife!

As she spoke, she slapped her thigh, feigning deep sorrow, but her eyes betrayed a calculating intent, attempting to morally bind Canglan with her words.

Cang Lan remained calm and composed, slightly turning his body and shifting his gaze from Madam Fang to the coffin. His voice was steady and clear: "Your son, Fang Yuhong, gave me a divorce agreement. Now, whether I am his wife or not is up to me."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a faint smile. Her gaze was deep as she stared at Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan. She continued, "If he truly valued our relationship, even if his soul had consciousness after death, why would he treat his body like this, as if he were determined to die?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan were instantly startled. They exchanged a glance, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes.

Madam Fang originally intended to use the divorce agreement as a performance to show Fang Yuhong's "consideration" for Yun Muqing, but little did she know that it would be used against her instead, backfiring on her.

She knew in her heart that if Yun Muqing really took the divorce papers and left, then the Fang family would have gained nothing.

Thinking this through, Madam Fang immediately put on a smile, though it was a somewhat stiff, forced smile, but her tone had softened considerably: "Muqing, my son truly loves you. He wrote you the divorce papers because he was afraid of wasting your youth and was thinking about your future. You mustn't let him down. Heaven can bear witness to his sincerity towards you."

Fang Yuwan, standing to the side, quickly chimed in as her mother tried to smooth things over.

She was very anxious. The thought that if Yun Muqing left with her dowry, she would get nothing. But when she tried to say it, she didn't know what to say.

If she tried to win him back by appealing to her elder brother's love, but judging from Yun Muqing's attitude, it seemed like she had never cared about him at all, so that tactic probably wouldn't work. For a moment, she was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks, but she was at a loss for what to do.

Seeing the mother and daughter's appearance, Cang Lan felt extremely annoyed and didn't want to waste any more words on them. So he waved his hand and said indifferently, "Alright, it's getting late. You two should go back and rest."

Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan thought that Yun Muqing had finally figured things out, and they were overjoyed, thinking that the plan could continue.

Madam Fang quickly nodded, her face beaming with smiles: "Oh, alright, alright, you can take care of Hong'er tonight."

After saying that, the two turned and left in a hurry, completely forgetting Fang Yuhong's warning that "Yun Muqing should not be left alone with his corpse."

As soon as Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan left, Cang Lan quickly walked to the coffin and looked at Fang Yuhong lying inside. He couldn't stand the sight of him.

"Crack! Crack!"

She slapped Fang Yuhong's face twice without any mercy.

Cang Lan immediately snorted coldly, already having an idea in mind. She had previously used the five poisonous creatures (scorpion, snake, centipede, toad, and spider) when refining her Gu worms.

Through special refining, its toxicity is several times greater than ordinary.

Cang Lan raised her hand, and an eerie light emanated from her palm. Instantly, she flung the scorpion, snake, centipede, toad, and spider into the coffin.

Hissing and rustling sounds filled the air as the poisonous creatures crawled and slithered inside the coffin.

Then, fearing it wasn't exciting enough, Canglan pulled the hairpin from her hair and stabbed it hard into Fang Yuhong's arms, thighs, and stomach.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft," the hairpin pierced through again and again, leaving more than a dozen bloody holes before Canglan finally stopped.

With a forceful push, she sealed the half-covered coffin completely with a loud "bang".

Then she sealed all the air vents on the coffin, leaving no gaps.

Cang Lan stood before the coffin, his expression icy, a cruel smile playing on his lips, and muttered to himself:

"I'd like to see how you'll play dead once the effects of the drug wear off and you're out of oxygen."

Although they will definitely find a way to rescue you, I deliberately sealed the air vents. Even if you don't die, you'll be badly injured and get a good taste of near-death.

After dealing with all of this, Canglan swaggered back to Shangqing Courtyard to sleep.

The next morning, Mrs. Fang and Fang Yuwan rushed over.

The mourning hall was completely empty; there wasn't a trace of Yun Muqing, not even a maid or servant.

Madam Fang was so angry that her face turned ashen, and the wrinkles on her face seemed to deepen. Her eyes widened as she shouted at Granny Zhang beside her, "Bring all the people who were on night watch last night here!"

Before long, several maids and servants ran over tremblingly. As soon as they saw Madam Fang, they all knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Madam Fang's eyes widened in anger as she pointed at the crowd on the ground and shouted sternly, "How dare you abandon your posts! Is this a place where you can just leave whenever you want? Don't you all want to live?"

One of the maids replied tremblingly, "Last night, the new madam told us to leave, saying we didn't need to stay here. We...we dared not disobey."

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang felt her heart clench, nearly losing her balance, and trembled with rage. After a long while, she suppressed her anger and asked again, "Where is Yun Muqing? Where did she go?"

The maids and servants looked at each other, and one of them mustered up his courage and said, "Last night, not long after we left, the new madam also left the mourning hall."

Seeing this, Fang Yuwan had an idea. She quickly ran to her mother's side and said in a low voice, "Mother, think about it. Before long, my brother's colleagues and relatives from the clan will all come to pay their respects."

Moreover, the imperial edict will arrive soon. When everyone sees that the elder brother's newlywed wife hasn't even come to the mourning hall, what kind of behavior is that?

She paused slightly, the calculating glint in her eyes growing more pronounced, and continued, "Her actions will surely earn her the reputation of being disrespectful to her deceased husband and unfilial to her mother-in-law."

"We'll use this as a pretext to divorce her according to the seven grounds for divorce. That way, her generous dowry will rightfully belong to our General's Mansion."
