Old Mrs. Lin's body was shaking like a sieve, the blood on her face quickly faded, and her pair of muddy old eyes looked around in panic.
"You, don't come here! I am the first-class wife!" She shouted loudly, fearing that these unscrupulous people would kill her regardless. She still wanted to live for a few more years.
Seeing that something was wrong, the guards sent by Su Youning also stepped forward to stop the crowd who were about to move, and advised: "Don't be impulsive, everyone."
Old Mrs. Lin couldn't help but nodded in agreement, that is, if she had some shortcomings, these people would not be left behind.
The guard said: "Anyway, at her age, she won't live for more than a few years. It's really not worth putting you in here just for her few years. Thank you."
Old Mrs. Lin's face immediately darkened. Is this what people say? These bastards! After this incident, she must settle this account with them severely.
Those few guards are not afraid of Old Mrs. Lin. With the princess here, can the Lin family take action against them? Moreover, they are afraid that the Lin family will not be able to protect themselves in the future.
So the guards continued to persuade the people earnestly.
"Besides, isn't it better to leave her to watch her grandson being tortured than to beat her?"
The common people really listened to what the guards said. Yes, Mrs. Lin should be allowed to see her grandson's retribution with her own eyes!
"Suppressing a child is like killing a child. Your grandson was killed by you!"
Although they did not intend to take action after hearing the advice, they did not stop talking. Some people rolled their eyes and went back to collect rotten vegetables, leaves, rotten eggs and the like before the prisoner was taken. They might be able to send them out later.
use.
Old Mrs. Lin was scolded by them with all kinds of filthy words, and her anger and blood surged up. However, she did not dare to talk back, and she almost suffered a stroke from anger.
She wanted to leave here. She would rather stay in the cell than continue to sit here and suffer the torture that lasted like years.
Su Youning and Su Yueling deliberately wanted to kill her!
But if she wanted to leave, she would need escorts. She really didn't dare to pass through these civilians for fear of being secretly attacked, so she was on pins and needles.
In this case, the time has finally arrived.
Lin Congyan was also escorted over by several jailers.
Su Yueling did not come to the scene. She did not like to see such scenes, but Su Youning came here in person. Su Youning looked quiet and weak, but she had followed her uncle to the military camp since she was a child, and even went to the battlefield once, so
She was not at all shy about the bloody scenes that were about to unfold.
Moreover, she also wanted to use Lin Congyan's incident to shock other local wealthy families in Yaozhou and cleanse the local atmosphere. Just as she thought, many families sent their family stewards over, and they all wanted to know this appearance.
Is Her Majesty the Peerless Princess serious?
At this time, Lin Congyan was so scared that his hands and feet were cold and he had no strength at all. He was pushed by the officials. The closer he got to the execution place, the more his feet shook and his face was full of fear. Originally, he was still afraid of his family.
He was holding on to expectations, thinking that his father would not leave him alone. However, he waited and waited in the prison, but did not receive any reinforcements, and even waited for his own end.
Only then did he realize that the Lin family had really given up on him and that he was really going to die.
No, he is still so young, and he still has many things that he has not yet enjoyed. How could he die like this? He is not willing to do so!
The jailer who led him to the center of the execution ground hit him on the knee, and Lin Congyan knelt down subconsciously. He woke up as if from a dream, and was so frightened that he burst into tears, "I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die! Let me go!"
"Who can help me!"
At this moment, he finally felt the pain of the civilians he threw on the field to kill each other. If he had known that Su Youning had such a straight-talking temperament, he would not have been so unscrupulous and would have avoided the limelight.
"Yan'er, my grandson!"
In a daze, Lin Congyan seemed to hear her grandmother's voice.
He turned his head stiffly and saw his grandmother sitting in the center position.
"Grandma, save me!" Lin Congyan shouted, "My cousin is the princess, you can't kill me!"
Mrs. Lin's heart broke when she saw her grandson's desperate expression.
Su Youning's method was too cruel, it made her life worse than death.
"Kill him! Kill him!"
When the people who were watching saw Lin Congyan himself, they were so excited that they seemed to rush forward to do justice for heaven instead of executing him.
The torrent of sound resounded through the sky, shocking Lin Congyan so much that he did not dare to cry. He was surrounded by angry and hateful faces, and they looked at him as if they wanted to eat him alive.
This was the first time that Lin Congyan faced other people's hatred for him. It was so terrifying that it bound him tightly like vines. He stared at them blankly.
Su Youning on the high platform looked at the time and announced: "Execution."
The knife rose and fell, blood splashed out, and the head even rolled to Old Mrs. Lin's feet.
There were cheers and applause all around, as well as cries mixed with tears of joy. Relatives of the victims who had died because of Lin Congyan also came over today, looking at the scene in front of them with expressions of relief, and some even
Some even started to throw away rotten leaves and rotten eggs.
Old Mrs. Lin couldn't make a scream. Her eyes met the eyes of the rolling head, she rolled her eyes and fainted.
Su Youning raised his eyebrows and asked someone to take Old Mrs. Lin back to the cell. The charge of obstructing official duties alone was enough for her to stay there for a while. Although Su Youning could be merciful to her because of her age, but for such an unrepentant person
There is really no need for people to be kind. Age is no excuse for acting out.
When the local prefect of Yaozhou found out about this, he just sighed and said, "I understand."
The character of this princess is much tougher than expected. Even when facing the Lin family, she does not give in at all, and her methods are so cruel that it is shocking.
He couldn't afford to offend either side, so he could only pretend he didn't know.
He knew in his heart that the winner of this contest would probably be decided in a while, and he just had to see what the saint wanted when the time came.
…
In the palace.
Rong Ji looked at Dou Nian who was kneeling before him, his tone neither happy nor angry, "Is what Aiqing said true?"
Dou Nian lowered his head and said respectfully: "My daughter is in ill health and is not worthy of the position of Crown Princess."
He thought about it for two days and finally made up his mind. His daughter had been badly brought up by her maternal grandfather's family. If she was allowed to become the crown princess, she would only bring disaster to Daxia in the future. Dou Nian didn't want to be this sinner, so he gritted his teeth and simply decided
He took the initiative to resign. But he couldn't tell the truth, so he used his daughter's health as an excuse.
A princess needs to be perfect in everything. A person with some physical problems will certainly not be able to afford this position.
Rong Ji looked at his serious and determined look and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If Dou Yaojin had not been raised by the Lin family and could learn some of her father's moral character, he would not have canceled this engagement.
Rong Ji looked at him and his tone became gentle, "Get up."
Seeing how Dou Nian had aged more than ten years in the past few days, Rong Ji felt a little sympathetic. This daughter was not raised well and could easily bring trouble to the whole family.
He said: "I originally planned to cancel this marriage. The prince cannot have an unkind and unjust wife."
"For the sake of loving you, I will give you some dignity."
The whole story will not be announced to the public.
Dou Nian couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Thank you for Your Majesty's grace. It is my daughter who has failed Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
Sure enough, nothing could be hidden from the emperor. Fortunately, he didn't get confused and hide the matter.
