The Rong'an Prince's Mansion in the Western Liang Kingdom.
The bride's wedding procession stretched for miles, adorned with lanterns and decorations, filled with joyous sounds. Everywhere the guests' eyes fell was the bride's magnificent red and gold wedding gown.
Palace maids, dressed in palace attire, carried dishes and pastries, moving back and forth between the kitchen and the banquet hall.
Everyone says that the union of the stunningly handsome Prince Rong'an and the exceptionally beautiful, virtuous, and talented Lian Zhihua is a match made in heaven. At this moment, everyone present, whether Prince Rong'an's friend or his rival, cannot help but share this sentiment.
As for Rong'an Prince's ex-wife, who was also Lian Zhihua's cousin, Shangguan Zisu, she became a negative example in everyone's eyes and was belittled to the point of being worthless.
In a secluded, dilapidated courtyard in the backyard of the Prince's mansion, Zisu listened to the faint, almost imperceptible joyful music and looked at the brand-new red lantern at the entrance of the broken courtyard. She felt utterly shocked and heartbroken.
The Changning Marquis's residence was also brightly decorated, with guests filling the gates, a grand occasion unlike any other. This was to celebrate the marriage of the eldest daughter, Shangguan Zhihua, to the Prince's residence, where she became the esteemed principal wife of the Prince.
Consort Qian brought over a cup of poisoned wine: "This is a gift from the Prince. If you know what's good for you, drink it quickly, and you might at least have a whole corpse. Otherwise, I'll make sure you die without a burial place!"
Zisu stared at her without saying a word.
Consort Qian gave a venomous smile, her face contorted with malice: "You poisonous woman, you caused me to give birth to two freaks in a row, you will surely die today!"
Zisu's personal maid, Xiangli, desperately stood in front of her mistress, pleading, "No! My mistress is a good person. She has never done anything against her conscience to the concubine. Please, concubine, see the truth!"
"Get out of my way, or don't blame me for being rude to you!" Consort Qian suddenly brandished a sharp dagger and said fiercely to Xiangli.
Xiangli stared at the gleaming dagger, a chill creeping up her spine. However, glancing back at her ailing mistress, she gritted her teeth and declared, "I won't allow it! I'll protect my mistress even at the cost of my life!"
Consort Qian immediately sneered, "Oh, so you're a loyal dog! Since that's the case, then I'll grant your wish!" With that, she plunged the dagger into Xiangli's chest.
"No!" Zisu cried out in despair, struggling to reach Xiangli and embracing her, who was covered in blood. She sobbed uncontrollably, "How could you be so foolish! Even if you sacrificed your life, those people wouldn't let me go!"
Xiangli was the only one among all her maids and servants who remained truly loyal to her. With Xiangli dead, she was all alone, with no one left to rely on!
Several old women and maids stepped forward and forcibly poured the poisoned wine into Zisu's mouth.
Zisu felt her soul floating in mid-air.
She saw the man in the groom's clothes walk over, glance at her bleeding from all seven orifices, and his eyes flashed with disgust: "You vicious woman, you have only yourself to blame! Men, throw her into the mass grave!"
After saying that, he turned and left. Two old women stepped forward, picked up Zisu, who was lying on the ground, and carried her out, intending to throw her into the mass grave.
"No! No! You can't!" Zisu cried out shrilly, but no sound came out; all her cries were in vain.
She could only watch helplessly as she was thrown into a mass grave, and immediately fainted.
In the instant she lost consciousness, she was overwhelmed with remorse.
How could she have fallen for that heartless man in the first place?
If she could do it all over again, she would never have given this man a second glance. She would have made sure that he and all those who had harmed her suffered a terrible fate...
