After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Liu Yunxiang stood at the door and saw Mrs. He struggling hard, trying to warn Yingying inside, but she was pressed tightly by two officials, unable to move or make a sound, so she could only worry.

Yingying cried for a long time, then wiped away her tears and slowly straightened up.

"It's me, I killed He Ziyue!"

"He beat my father to death and then took me into the house and humiliated me!"

"I hated him, stabbing him again and again. At that moment, I just felt relieved!"

These words were loud and clear, and everyone present could hear them clearly, including Mrs. He outside. She stopped struggling, staggered back a few steps, and finally closed her eyes.

Liu Yunxiang took Mrs. He back to the previous interrogation room and asked the official to loosen the rope for her.

She slumped in the chair, as if someone had pulled out her bones due to cramps, her energy was gone.

"He deserves to die." She murmured, as if she wanted to believe it, and then repeated: "He deserves to die!"

"When he asked to marry me, he vowed that I would be the only one for the rest of his life. I believed it, I believed it. Even though my mother warned me again and again that it was untrustworthy for men to say such things, I felt that he was different. I married him. I went with him to the wild lands of the southern border, I went with him to the bitter cold plateaus of the west, and I went with him to the yellow sands of the north. It is really bitter and difficult to think about it now. But I didn't feel that at the time, and I was even happy because we were in love with each other. Later, I asked my parents' family to help me transfer him to Yuezhou, and life gradually got better. But he was firmly in Yuezhou Prefecture. Behind the scenes, I began to dislike my inability to have children and my old age. He first kept concubines, and then kept wives. I argued with him, made trouble with him, and made things difficult for those women. But as time went by, I was really tired. But he But he got worse and started to rob good girls, using all kinds of shameless and despicable methods to force their families to die. At this time, He Ziyue is no longer the person I knew at the beginning, he has become a complete villain."

Speaking of this, Mrs. He looked at Liu Yunxiang and asked foolishly: "Shouldn't such a person die?"

Liu Yunxiang let out a long sigh, "Okay."

"Then why are you clinging to this matter and treating it like an ordinary theft and murder case, can't you? Yingying and Li Shi, they are just two children. Their father was beaten to death by He Ziyue, and Yingying was beaten to death by He Ziyue. The more he was insulted, Li Shi had his legs broken by He Ziyue. That night, I went to Yingying Courtyard and bumped into Li Shi, and He Ziyue was already at the door of the courtyard. The two of them knelt down to beg me, and I touched my conscience. , decided to help them. I sent He Ziyue away. Then I asked Yingying to go back to my courtyard with me, pretending to teach her the rules, beating and scolding her to make a big fuss, in order to make the servants Everyone saw her in my room, and then let her leave quietly through the back window. I could buy them one night. As long as they escaped successfully, this time would be enough for them to escape Yuezhou Mansion and He Zi Yue's sight. But they were still discovered by He Ziyue, and they had no choice but to kill him."

Mrs. He sneered coldly, "You want to ask me if I regret it? No, I don't regret it."

She didn't expect that Yingying and the others would kill He Ziyue, but after finding out, she only felt happy and relieved.

There was a small window in the interrogation room. Liu Yunxiang glanced at it and said, "It's dawn."

Mrs. He looked up at Liu Yunxiang and asked nervously: "What about Yingying and Li Shi..."

"He who kills must pay with his life."

"..."

"But I think Mr. Lu will plead for them, but the final sentence will still have to go through the three courts."

After all, they were killing a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, and they needed to be scrutinized layer by layer. However, since the officials were protecting each other, Yingying and Li Shi would not be able to escape the death penalty.

After dawn, the He family came to collect He Ziyue's body.

The two nephews from the second room of the He family didn't care much about anything else. They only helped Mrs. He to plead for mercy and asked her when she could return home.

"Your eldest nephew said that his wife is about to give birth and is waiting for you to give birth to a grandson. Your second nephew said that he will wait for you to come home and then move the family back to his hometown of Xin County." Liu Yunxiang brought the words of the two nephews of the He family to Mrs. He.

Mrs. He had no children in her life, but she raised two children from the second room of the He family. Mother and son are better than mother and son.

Mrs. He frowned and said, "They will take care of their children by themselves. Who else wants to go back to their hometown with them? I have a natal family and a nephew from my natal family to take care of me in old age. Please give them a message and ask them to leave Yuezhou as soon as possible. Here, Di'er is not afraid of being poked in the back by the common people."

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "You are not young anymore, so you should temper your temper a little."

Mrs. He stared at Liu Yunxiang, then thought of something, hesitated and said, "He Ziyue will be buried today, can you take me to see him for the last time?"

Liu Yunxiang was slightly startled, "You want to see him?"

Mrs. He nodded, "This is the last look in this life."

Although Mrs. He protected the murderer, if Lu Changan didn't investigate, it wouldn't be a big deal. Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

The He family's ancestral grave is not here, but his body is rotting, so we can only bury him here as originally planned, and then discuss moving the grave after the younger generations of the He family return to their hometown and settle down.

The burial place was on a hill on the outskirts of the city. There were many pomegranate trees planted there. This season was when the pomegranate flowers were blooming, and they were in full bloom.

When Liu Yunxiang took Mrs. He there, just as the coffin was being lowered, the eldest nephew of the He family asked her if she wanted to take another look.

Mrs. He stroked the coffin and shook her head after a long time, "I won't read it anymore. I want to forget what he looks like when he is old. I will only remember what he looked like when he was young. He was the most beautiful then."

The eldest nephew nodded and asked people to put the coffin into the pit. Each of the juniors added a handful of soil, and then the servants stepped forward to fill it with shovels. After a while, a bag of earth was raised.

The younger generation of the He family knelt down and kowtowed three times, and the funeral was considered complete.

However, at this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside, and there was a loud thump. Then a group of soldiers wearing golden armor entered the forest and quickly lined up to surround them.

Then a person walked over. He was walking in a royal blue robe, with a gold belt around his waist and a jade crown on his head. He had a graceful figure. Further up, there is a very beautiful face, with long and narrow phoenix eyes, and the ends of the eyes are raised upward, looking down on all living beings, full of pride.

But a scar on the left side of his face made this face look a little more ruthless.

From Liu Yunxiang's perspective, first a pomegranate flower covered his face, and then there was a dazzling light. When he came closer, she suddenly saw his face clearly, her heart pounded, and she hurriedly hid under a pomegranate tree. later.

What a sin!

Why did we meet this guy!

The dignified Seventh Prince is not in Shengjing, so what is he doing in this ravine?
