Chapter 33: Death should be given, death should be given, sinking should be done in the pond
Everyone was originally waiting outside and didn't dare to go in, but now that they saw someone taking the lead, they followed him one after another.
Ma stood outside the bamboo forest, wanting to go in to see what was really going on, but she didn't dare to go in. She felt vaguely that the truth inside the forest would make her extremely painful.
But seeing everyone leaving, she gritted her teeth and followed them.
Whether you live or die, you must be happy.
There is snow accumulated in the bamboo forest, which weighs down the branches and leaves. When people step on it, there will be a "click" and "click" sound.
This voice seemed to step on Ma's heart with every step.
Her heart lifted and dropped.
Until she saw the person in front of her...
She saw that the woman's clothes were in messy condition and the man was holding her by the neck and pressing her to the ground. She saw that she had large expanses of snow-white skin exposed, but there were numerous scars on her face, which was unsightly.
The woman raised her head, with an indescribable flush on her face.
She seemed to hear someone coming, turned her head and looked behind her, and her eyes met Ma's.
"Snapped."
Ma felt that something in her heart was completely broken.
Her last hope and last thought were all gone at this moment.
Like an ice cellar, her whole body sank inside, falling, falling...
She turned her head and looked at the people around her. Their eyes were surprised, disdainful, and funny...it fell on her like a spell.
What's ridiculous is that she just worked hard to look like a virtuous lady from a famous family.
What scares her the most is Shen Muchi...
Shen Muchi's expression was ugly and scary. He took out a sword from somewhere and stabbed the man.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
When Meng Xiuli saw that he had been bumped into by so many people, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
As soon as he stood up, he grabbed his clothes and tried to explain: "No, that's not the case. I don't mean to be frivolous towards the Jade Concubine, it's..."
However, the next moment, he felt a chill in his stomach, and the sharp sword had pierced into his body.
He lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the blood on his stomach. He raised his head in astonishment and looked at Shen Muchi in front of him, as if he still didn't believe it. He was still stealing fragrance and jade just now. How could he not realize that he was about to become a man?
A victim of injustice?
"minister……"
He wanted to say something else, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he fell backwards.
The moment he fell down, he seemed to see Mu Qingchao. She held a lamp and stood in the direction of his head. She seemed to be looking at him with a smile.
No surprise, no sadness, not even a trace of pity.
She just watched him die little by little, as if the impermanence was waiting to take away his soul.
Meng Xiuli suddenly realized that everything tonight seemed a little strange.
It was clearly Mu Qingchao who invited him here, but why did she disappear halfway? Why did he let him meet the Jade Concubine at that time?
The moment he recognized the Jade Concubine, he originally wanted to let go, but the inexplicable fragrance made his behavior uncontrollable.
At this moment, Mu Qingchao, who suddenly disappeared, was standing here again.
"you……"
"you……"
Meng Xiuli pointed his finger at Mu Qingchao, wanting to say something, but he had no strength. The last bit of strength was exhausted, and his hand dropped heavily, and he closed his eyes.
Mu Qingchao felt relieved when he saw him die in front of him.
A large area of blood spread out, staining the snow beneath him red.
There were many female relatives around. Where had I seen such a bloody scene? I was inevitably frightened and silently took a step back.
"ah……"
Only one woman screamed and ran towards Meng Xiuli.
That was Mrs. Meng. The moment she saw Shen Muchi's sword thrust into Meng Xiuli, she was stunned. When she came back to her senses, her son had already fallen into a pool of blood.
"Xiu'er, Xiu'er..."
Mrs. Meng looked almost crazy, shouting her son's name hysterically, but no one responded.
Looking at the ladies around him with this look, he couldn't help but feel moved.
But Shen Muchi didn't care about this and walked towards Zhong Chuchu with his sword in hand.
There was a cold look in his eyes, and it was obvious what he wanted to do.
Shen Muchi has no affection for Zhong Chuchu, but he still cannot accept that she can do such a thing behind his back.
Men, especially men in a high position like him, have extremely selfish possessiveness in their bones. He can accept his three wives and four concubines, but he can never accept his woman being unfaithful to him in the slightest.
Zhong Chuchu raised her head and met Shen Muchi's eyes. His eyes were cold and cruel, and there was no trace of the gentleness he had shown her before.
What does he want to do? What else does Zhong Chuchu not know?
Her body was covered with scars from being insulted, as well as Meng Xiuli's blood, and she backed away little by little.
"no, do not want……"
"Your Majesty, please don't kill me..."
She looked at Shen Muchi and begged.
But Shen Mu slowly approached her, the bloody sword in his hand like a life-threatening charm.
At this time, Ma finally came back to his senses.
"Your Majesty, no!"
After reacting, Ma rushed to Shen Muchi and protected Zhong Chuchu behind him.
"Your Majesty, please let Chu Chu live. Chu Chu has a deep love for you and will never do such a thing. There must be something hidden about what happened today. Please be aware of it, Your Majesty."
"Please, Your Majesty, please take a closer look..."
Ma's tears were all expressed by a mother's love for her daughter.
But Shen Muchi didn't hesitate at all. He pointed the tip of his sword at Ma, and his voice was terrifyingly cold.
"Step aside!"
Two words were enough to make Ma's heart tighten.
"no no……"
Ma looked at Shen Muchi: "Your Majesty, I am Chu Chu's mother and son Mo Ruomu. No one knows how deeply she loves you than a mother like me.
It is absolutely impossible for her to do such a sorry thing to you. You believe in civilian women, you believe in civilian women..."
Ma knew how pale her words were, so she looked at the bell outside the crowd in desperation.
"Master, master, you should say something!"
"Say something!"
"Chu Chu is your biological daughter..."
Mrs. Ma protected Zhong Chuchu behind her, just like a hen protecting her chicks. However, most of the people present were parents, and seeing her pleading, they couldn't help but be moved.
But the bell just stood in the crowd without saying a word.
Men look at problems from a different perspective than women, especially when it comes to women's chastity. Now that Zhong Chuchu has lost her virginity, for Zhong Ming, the shame is greater than the heartache for Zhong Chuchu.
"The Ai family just stood far away and couldn't hear clearly. They were probably listening to what my aunt said about whether they should die or sink into the pond, and the reputation of the Mu family should be preserved.
Why is it that now that we are at Zhong's house, my aunt is asking Your Majesty to spare her life again and again?
Oh, I guess the reputation of my Mu family is much more valuable than the reputation of the Zhong family."
At this moment, Mu Qingchao, who was standing outside the crowd, spoke slowly.
