She became a god

Have you apologized to the Wen family?

"Ten days ago, Chen Zhanshi came to apologize, but was turned away at the door."

At this point, Cai Yinglin's eyes showed resentment, "The head of the Wen family, Wenming, is completely ungrateful, repeatedly humiliating Chen Zhanshi. His son is not beyond saving, yet he insists on putting on airs..."

For ordinary people, once the physical body dies, they return to dust and ashes.

But Wen Shu is a cultivator. She has her primordial spirit entrusting itself to a magic weapon, and her family has poured a lot of resources into her. After a few days of recovery, she can rebuild her physical body.

Cai Yinglin continued to complain about Wenming's terrible attitude, which made Su Mingzhu laugh. "Are you saying the Wen family should thank Xing Yan for not killing Wen Shu's soul as well?"

Su Mingzhu felt exhausted. How could a mother who had lost her son possibly be treated kindly by the guy who protected her son's killer with just a few indifferent words?

But Cai Yinglin thought differently. "Although Xing Yan acted impulsively, it was all for the sake of justice. If Wen Shu hadn't been so vicious and refused to distribute the grain, how could this disaster have happened?"

"Chen Zhan Shi is wholeheartedly devoted to the people. If it weren't for his concern for Princess Xu Yao, why would he have humbled himself and bowed down to a petty person like Wen Ming?"

Su Mingzhu didn't want to listen to Cai Yinglin's complaints anymore, so she asked, "What is the relationship between Wen Shu and Princess Xu Yao?"

"Wen Shu is the nephew of Princess Xu Yao."

"Can you say that again?"

Cai Yinglin whispered, "Wen Shu is the nephew of Princess Xu Yao."

Su Mingzhu was completely stunned; she felt like she was going crazy!

Upon hearing that Wen Shu, a cultivator at the Golden Core stage, was the lord of a city, Su Mingzhu guessed that this young man had an extraordinary background.

But when she learned that Wen Shu was the nephew of Princess Xu Yao, she thought, Xun Fu was right, Wen Shu's status was indeed extremely noble.

Cai Yinglin said with a wry smile, "Chen Zhanshi only found out about this matter after the Wen family came to make a scene."

Ye Xingming, the chief of the red panda tribe, has three sons and one son, whose only son is Ye Qingzhou.

Besides his only son, Ye Xingming's most beloved son was Ye Qingyan, the eldest son of her and his deceased first wife. Upon ascending the throne, he posthumously granted his first wife, Xuan'an, the title of Empress, and also bestowed upon their only child, Ye Qingyan, the title of Imperial Minister.

The Imperial Minister of the great demon clan holds a position equivalent to that of the Queen Mother, and traditionally only the most outstanding male members of the Imperial Clan can receive this honor.

Ye Qingyan had not distinguished himself at all when he was appointed as an Imperial Minister, and had not made any contributions, but Ye Xingming still appointed him as an Imperial Minister.

Everyone says that Ye Xingming was deeply devoted to his first wife, Empress Xuan'an, but after Xuan'an passed away, he transferred his affections to Ye Qingyan.

Ye Qingyan was pampered in her boudoir and even had the right to choose her own marriage partner after she came of age.

This imperial minister was indifferent to fame and fortune. He did not choose to marry a princess or queen from a powerful family, but instead chose to marry Wenming of the Yu Kingdom through free love.

It is said that three hundred years ago, Ye Qingyan and Wenming held a very low-key wedding, inviting only a few tables of relatives and friends, but the officiant was His Majesty the Emperor of Yu.

Despite marrying into the powerful demon clan of Diqing, the Wen family did not become more flamboyant. As before, they remained secluded and rarely appeared in the public eye.

Ye Qingyan and Wenming have been married for hundreds of years, but they only have one precious daughter, Wen Shu, whom they dote on.

Crane City was the 100th birthday gift that Wenming's husband and wife prepared for her.

The civilized couple would not let it go so easily after their beloved child died at the hands of the officials of the Eastern Palace.

Su Mingzhu thought for a moment, and realized that if she were a member of the Wen family, she would definitely complain to Ye Qingzhou and ask him to make a decision.

No wonder Chen Lai couldn't contact Princess Xu Yao and was particularly worried that Princess Xu Yao would switch her investment to His Highness the Third Prince.

But Chen Lai, why did you have to betray me?

Such a big thing, and I knew nothing about it, it must be that Chen Lai ordered the news to be blocked.

If I were to blindly follow Chen Lai's plan and beg Ye Qingzhou, I would truly become a useless pawn.

Ye Qingzhou saved him, and he couldn't kill Xing Yan to repay her, which was one thing, but he even tried to morally blackmail her into interfering in Yu's internal affairs.

If I were Ye Qingzhou, I would be extremely disappointed in Su Mingzhu.

The thought that Ye Qingzhou would be disappointed in her, or even regret saving her, made Su Mingzhu's heart ache as if it were being pricked by needles.

Seeing that Su Mingzhu remained silent, Cai Yinglin grew anxious, "Doesn't Young Master Su want to save Master Chen?"

To be honest, Su Mingzhu really doesn't want to save her anymore. She treats Chen Lai as a sister, but Chen Lai treats her as a pawn.

They don't think of her for good things, but they do seek her out for things that offend people and ruin her future.

But Su Mingzhu knew very well that she had to save Chen Lai, otherwise Cai Yinglin and the others would not let her go.

Then Su Mingzhu asked, "Where is Xing Yan?"

Cai Yinglin asked warily, "You wouldn't be planning to use your own sisters' lives as a gift to curry favor with Princess Xu Yao, would you?"

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. Xing Yan must apologize with a thorn in her side. As for whether her life can be saved... it depends on how deep the relationship is between Princess Xu Yao and Master."

Tsai Ying-lin sneered, "So, in the end, you're still going to use your own sisters as a scapegoat?"

"Yes, I'm going to make an example of Xing Yan." Su Mingzhu sneered. "This whole mess started with Xing Yan. If we don't punish her, even if Princess Xu Yao is willing to rescue Chen Lai this time, she will definitely abandon us in the future."

“I hope that you, Cai Sheren, will not act rashly. Right now, we are the ones who have been disrespectful to the Wen family and need Princess Xu Yao’s help. If we were in each other’s shoes, and someone killed my nephew and refused to admit their mistake, and then asked me to help them, I would be doing them a favor by not kicking them when they were down.”

Cai Yinglin's face turned pale. She knew that Su Mingzhu was right, but Xing Yan had worked with them for many years and was as close as a sister. She couldn't bear to watch Xing Yan die.

Seeing Cai Yinglin in such a state of disarray, Su Mingzhu felt no sympathy whatsoever.

If we had known today, why bother in the beginning?

Xing Yan was able to cause such a big mess because Chen Lai and Cai Yinglin indulged her.

Do what you are capable of. If Xing Yan didn't have the backing of the Eastern Palace, would she have dared to kill the lord of a city?

Anyone with eyes could see the consequences of killing the city lord; Xing Yan was reckless but not stupid.

Xing Yan hated Wen Shu and other powerful people for abusing their power and not valuing human life.

When she was still moving around the court and the country in a high-profile manner after killing people at will, why didn't she think that she would be hated?

In fact, it's not just Xing Yan; many people think they are messengers of justice, eliminating harm for the people. But they overlook the fact that in a world where killing is used to stop killing, who is more righteous than whom?

You judge others in the name of justice, but are the punishments you impose always reasonable and appropriate?

At least in this matter, Wen Shu's crime did not warrant death, while Xing Yan made a mistake and just happened to run into a brick wall.

If Wen Shu wasn't Princess Xu Yao's nephew, and Xing Yan could remain at large under the protection of the Crown Prince after committing murder, would that still be considered justice?

The only saving grace is that this is the world of cultivation, and Wen Shu was able to be resurrected; she wasn't completely dead, so there's still room for things to turn around.
