Mrs. Shao saw this scene and shook her head.

Seeing this, Wen Rongchang laughed at himself again: "I know my aunt looks down on me."

Madam Shao stood up and looked down at him: "No one wants to spend time looking down on someone, whether it's you or your mother. Why should I treat you and your mother differently? Your mother has been beaten to death for you, but now that you have come to this point, don't you still know?"

Wen Rongchang paused, looked up at Madam Shao, and met her gaze: "What do you mean, aunt?"

"Why did my Jiang Huai become like this?" Mrs. Shao's eyes became sharp: "Do you think what you and your mother did was perfect?"

Shao Jianghuai's situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad, but it is always moving in a good direction.

When she was conscious, she could recall the accident, and Mrs. Shao pieced together the cause of the accident from her few words.

Wen Rongchang was silent for a while, and finally told the truth: "Cousin Shao was actually implicated by me. My mother pushed her into the water and she almost died."

In the calmest tone, he recounted the incident of Shao Jianghuai drowning when he was six years old.

Mrs. Shao originally thought that she could face this incident calmly, but when she heard the truth from the culprit's own mouth, her hands began to tremble with anger.

"My mother said that I was young and cousin Shao accidentally pushed me down, so she pushed cousin Shao into the pool. She just wanted to teach her a lesson, but cousin Shao didn't take the lesson and became motionless not long after being pushed into the pool. My mother was afraid of her life, so she pushed her into the pool, causing her to fall into the water."

"Snapped!"

After Wen Rongchang finished speaking, Mrs. Shao reached in and slapped Wen Rongchang in the face.

Wen Rongchang remained motionless and said, "Go ahead and hit me if you want. Anyway, after tomorrow, I won't have the final say over this head. Aunt, just vent your anger."

"Clap clap clap..."

Mrs. Shao really vented her anger in front of Wen Rongchang's face, but when a person is about to die, all debts owed in life should be cleared.

She hated Wen Rongchang and his mother, and she saw with her own eyes that they suffered retribution, which made the slap that Mrs. Shao threw at her seem powerless.

She was tired of fanning him, so she took a few steps back, staring coldly at Wen Rongchang with his hair loose, and then said to the servant beside her: "Take away all the wine and food in front of him. Tomorrow, you and Jiang Huai will fight each other. Seeing you and your son die without a burial place is also your retribution. It's a pity for a good girl like Xing'er. If you treated her well and lived a stable life, you wouldn't have ended up like this. But you are still blaming Xing'er when you are about to die. You don't repent. Even God can't bear it. You'd better take care of yourself."

After saying this, Mrs. Shao turned and left.

The servants took away all the wine and food and quickly followed.

Wen Rongchang did not respond from beginning to end, but he didn't know that Lin Xing'er had been listening outside.

Madam Wu Dinghou supported her shaky figure and said, "Xing Jie'er, go back."

Lin Xing'er clenched the handkerchief in her hand and covered her lips with it. When Madam Shao came out, she turned around and left the imperial prison in tears.

After walking out of the cell, Lin Xing'er fell weakly in front of the carriage. Madam Wu Dinghou shouted worriedly, stepped forward and hugged Lin Xing'er, saying, "Xingjie..."

Lin Xing'er leaned in the arms of Lady Wu Dinghou, holding back her tears, and wept softly with her face covered: "It was a mistake after all."

No one present dared to persuade her not to think about people like Wen Rongchang anymore. They just cried with her silently.

Its daybreak.

Wen Rongchang sat in the prison cart and headed to the execution platform.

Outside the prison van, everyone was shouting and beating him.

He sat in the prison car, smiling at everyone, but he saw a very eye-catching carriage in the crowd. It was the Xiao family's carriage.

Wen Rongchang looked at the man and woman in the carriage.

Xiao Sangwan snuggled in Jia Xian's arms.

A light breeze blew, and the bead curtain scattered, blocking Wen Rongchang's sight.

Wen Rongchang's heart trembled, and he rushed forward suddenly, but was hit hard into the prison van. The pain in his forehead also woke Wen Rongchang up.

After all, he and Xiao Sangwan are not the same kind of people.

The prison car left beside Xiao's carriage.

The crowd also followed the prison carriage. The path for the carriage gradually became clear and soon it headed in another direction. Wen Rongchang kept looking at Xiao's carriage until the carriage drove very far away, so far that he could no longer see the end.

Coincidentally, a small horse-drawn carriage drove out from the alley entrance. The carriage stopped for a while, and its eyes were fixed on Wen Rongchang going to the guillotine.

As the executioner raised his knife, the carriage left the place first.

With a "click", Wen Rongchang's head fell to the ground and blood splattered on the execution platform.

At the same time, news of Lin Xing'er's disappearance spread from the Wudinghou Mansion.

Lin Xing'er left a letter for the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, which read: [Aunt, when you see this letter, Xing'er has already left Yanjing. You don't have to come to look for me anymore. The breeze has drifted away, and I will follow the breeze. If people ask about Rongrong, I will tell them that her name is Mingyue and she will take my surname. When she grows up and asks about her parents, I will tell Mingyue that her father was a hero who killed the enemy in the war, and her mother died with her father. I will leave my dowry to her. I hope she will meet a good man in the future, and we will be in love until we grow old. There will be no Lin Xing'er in this world anymore.]

When the wife of Marquis Wuding saw the letter, she cried bitterly, "Silly child, what is so hard to deal with? You have been pampered in the Marquis's mansion all your life, and now you are leaving penniless. How are you going to make a living? Your child is still so young, and you can abandon her, you little heartless child."

She cursed at the letter and finally fainted on the couch. Before she fainted, she said, "I didn't teach Xingjie well. I didn't teach you how to recognize the person beside you. You are too naive. I have ruined your life."

Lin Xing'er came with a fortune and left empty-handed.

The Marquis' Mansion mobilized all its forces but failed to find Lin Xing'er.

The wife of Marquis Wuding thought that she had gone out to find a river or a tree to commit suicide, and the Marquis's mansion did not spare any river or mountain around Yanjing.

But there was no trace of her alive, nor of her body after death, as if it was really as she mentioned in the letter, that Lin Xing'er no longer existed in this world.

Many years later, when Xiao Sangwan and Jia Xian went to Chen State, they saw a familiar face at the Fufa Temple on the border of Chen State and Yan State. The face's Buddhist name was: Qingfeng.

Xiao Sangwan was stunned. She wanted to go up and greet the nun, but was stopped by Jia Xian.

She turned around to look at Jia Xian and said, "Isn't that Wen Linshi?"

Jia Xian looked at Lin Xing'er who was walking through the corridor with a group of nuns, shook her head and said, "Madam, there is no Wen Linshi and Wen Rongrong in the world anymore. The Wuding Marquis's adoption of the child to the Qin family is the best way for Wen Linshi to give back to the child. Not asking about her and not disturbing her is the most comfortable way for her now. Next time you see her, treat her as an ordinary nun and don't bring up the past again."

Xiao Sangwan looked in Lin Xing'er's direction again and his throat choked.

Jia Xian was right, she shouldn't bother her anymore...
