Half a month later, Wei Yan sent news from the palace to Ling Mansion.

The person who came to deliver the letter was Wei Yan's medicine boy Tiandong.

After waiting for so long, Mrs. Ling finally received news about Wei Yan, and she was very happy. The busy man rewarded Tiandong heavily. He couldn't wait for Tiandong to resign, so he opened the letter.

After reading the letter, Mrs. Ling seemed sad and moved her lips to say something, but tears welled up again.

The fifth master Ling on the side asked anxiously: "Mother, what is written in this letter? Can my sister be rescued?"

Sun and others also looked forward to it.

Mrs. Li has been neglected by Master Ling Wu these days. She has long lost her former air, and now she also looks anxious.

Mrs. Ling cried: "Dali Temple has closed the case. The Holy Father personally issued an edict to kill brothers Lu Ping and Lu An. The time will be three days later!"

Although everyone knew that Brother Lu An was bound to die, their hearts sank when they heard the bad news.

Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "Since grandma said so, it seems that only my uncle and the second uncle of the Lu family were beheaded. My aunt and potential cousin should be able to save their lives."

Old Mrs. Ling wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Wei Yan said in the letter that when the emperor was so angry, he originally wanted to kill everyone in his family. Later, Wei Yan opened his mouth to plead for mercy, and the empress followed suit. The emperor then I am especially kind. Only two of them will be executed. The rest of the Lu family will be exempted from the death penalty but will not be able to escape the punishment of living. They will be exiled thousands of miles to a cold and cold place outside the pass and will not be able to enter the pass again in this life..."

As he spoke, he burst into tears again: "My poor daughter! I will never see you again in this life."

Ling Wuye comforted him with red eyes: "Don't be sad, mother. This result is far better than expected. At least my sister is still alive, and A Qian is also saved."

"Yes! If Wei Yan hadn't contributed, the entire Lu family would have been killed. That's more than a hundred lives!" Mrs. Sun also agreed.

Wei Yan alone saved so many lives. No matter how much dowry is prepared for Ling Jingshu, there is nothing to complain about.

Everyone comforted Old Mrs. Ling with their words. Old Mrs. Ling cried for a while and then slowly calmed down.

Ling Jingshu was confused after hearing what Mrs. Ling said.

how could this be?

When she sent a letter to Wei Yan before, she had clearly hinted at her feelings. Just let him act, there is no need to really plead for the Lu family. How could it become like this now?

Wei Yan actually took action and saved the Lu family...

Tiandong quietly walked to Ling Jingshu's side.

"Miss, this is the letter that Imperial Doctor Wei specially ordered me to give to you." Tian Dong whispered as he quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ling Jingshu's hand.

Ling Jingshu took the letter from Tiandong's hand and frowned slightly.

…

After returning to the house, Ling Jingshu immediately opened the letter.

"Ah Shu, hello Xin'an."

"I made a decision without discussing this matter with you. The Emperor indeed intends to kill all the Lu family members, and I opened my mouth to plead for mercy for the Lu family. Now that you have read this letter, you should know everything. I hope you don’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands.”

"You suffered a lot of torture in the previous life. Lu An was the culprit. Lu Ping contributed to it. They both had to die. I know you hate the Ling family, and you wish to see the Ling family also be punished. However, after all, the Ling family is the same as the Ling family. You have a blood relationship, and your grandmother personally begged me to save her life. If I don't do anything, your grandmother will definitely be angry with you. After all, you are the daughter of the Ling family, and I will have no contact with my mother's family in the future. It is a great favor to the Ling family to help save the Ling family's Lu Qian and the Lu family. From now on, the Ling family will support you and no one will neglect you."

"For Ling, living in pain, suffering and misery is actually more difficult than death."

"Lu Qian's mistake in his previous life was that he was obsessed with you. Although he had no intention of pushing you into the pit of fire, he harmed you in the end. Just keep him alive and let him live in endless regret and self-blame. This is the biggest thing for him. punish."

"Except for them, the rest of the Lu family are not guilty of death. If more than a hundred lives are really lost, you will inevitably feel guilty and brooding in your heart when you think about it in the future. Therefore, I also beg the emperor to spare them."

"These are all my decisions after careful consideration. I hope you can appreciate my painstaking efforts and don't be angry."

The signature is Yan.

Ling Jingshu read the letter over and over in silence.

Admittedly, when she saw this letter, she was indeed a little upset.

After calming down and thinking about it carefully, I had to admit that Wei Yan's words made sense.

It is impossible for Ling Xiao to sever ties with the Ling family, and she will inevitably have contacts with the Ling family in the future. Wei Yan took action to save people at this time and showed kindness to the Ling family for her own sake.

Ling lives in pain day by day. Isn't it worse than death?

She hated Lu Qian, but she didn't hate him so much that she wanted him dead. The rest of the Lu family were innocently implicated. If they were all killed by Wen, could she really turn a blind eye to these more than a hundred lives?

These days, she was so overwhelmed by the joy of getting revenge that she didn't care about it at all. Wei Yan was much calmer than her and thought more carefully.

Which woman in the world cannot be moved by this thoughtfulness and gentleness?

After Ling Jingshu figured it out, the last trace of annoyance in her heart disappeared.

…

Three days later.

The execution was carried out at the execution ground today, and brother Lupin and Luan were beheaded.

The capital is at the feet of the emperor, and serious criminals from all over the country must be escorted to the capital's criminal department for trial. This wonderful show of beheading and asking for beheading must be watched at least ten or eight times every year. There are many brave people among the people in the capital. Every time an execution is carried out, the outside of the execution ground is crowded with people.

Today is no exception.

The people who came to watch the excitement were stopped outside the fence. Everyone stood on tiptoe to look inside, and even those idlers who talked nonsense gathered together to gossip.

"I heard not. This Lu Pingying was originally an official in the Ministry of War. I heard that his official position was not low. He surrendered to King Yan wholeheartedly and worked hard for King Yan. Now his whole family has been paid for it!"

"It's lucky. Only he and his brother were killed. The rest of the Lu family finally survived."

"If the entire Lu family is to be executed, the execution ground today may not be enough."

While chatting, there was sudden movement behind them.

Everyone looked around curiously, only to see a group of men and women crowding around an elderly lady rushing forward. There were men and women in this group. The men were dressed in luxurious clothes, and the women were all wearing curtains and hats. It was obvious at a glance that they were not ordinary people.

What is even more striking is that all these people have sad faces, and they are obviously relatives and friends of the Lu brothers who were beheaded.
