The day in June was damp and dull.

A heavy rain washed away the blood on the Meridian Gate execution platform and formed a river.

In the dark and damp woodshed, the woman's hair was disheveled and her face was full of tears as she looked at the two corpses lying at her feet.

Filled with hatred, she almost used up all her strength to insert the dagger into the body of the wretched boy one by one.

But even so, she couldn't save her grandfather and their entire Shen family.

Also, the personal maid who was tortured to death by the servants in order to save her.

Holding a bloody dagger in her trembling hand, Shen Wan stared blankly at the little girl who was covered in bruises and had died, but was still worried that she could not rest in peace.

Tears couldn't stop falling from his eyes, mixed with the blood on his face, and flowed down together.

"Qi Ye, Shen Yan, I'm going to kill you!"

The door creaked open. She looked up and saw two figures appearing at the door. Shen Wan's eyes were cold.

Supported by hatred, she rushed forward, raised her dagger and stabbed at the two of them.

Not to mention the chains on her hands and feet that restricted her movements, but her three-legged cat kung fu was no match for Qi Ye's.

Shen Wan's wrist just scratched the opponent's cuff, and people grabbed it.

"Crack!"

Heartbreaking pain hit, Qi Ye broke the woman's wrist bone and pushed her to the ground in disgust.

The barbs in the iron lock pierced deeply into the flesh, and bright red oozed out from Shen Wan's ankles.

Cold sweat was clearly breaking out on her forehead, but she didn't seem to feel any pain. She just stared angrily at the two people in front of her.

"Brother Ye, the look in my sister's eyes is so scary!" Shen Yan said sweetly, holding the man's arm and snuggling into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, Yan'er. As long as I'm here, I won't let her hurt you," Qi Ye gently patted the back of Shen Yan's hand to comfort her. "When the work is done, I will have her eyes gouged out and fed to the dogs!"

"Okay, I hate her eyes the most. When the time comes, let her most trusted maid do it herself."

Even though she was in such a state of desolation, her peach blossom eyes still had a charming brilliance.

Thinking about the man who was indifferent to her but preferred Shen Wan, Shen Yan felt endless hatred in her heart.

"It's all up to you." Qi Ye agreed gently.

"Qi Ye, everything you have today is because of our Shen family. I have tried my best to help you. Why are you doing this to me?" Shen Wan asked through gritted teeth.

"Why? Sister, still can't you understand?" Without waiting for Qi Ye's answer, Shen Yan sneered and took over:

"Brother Ye has always liked me. He has never had any affection for you. It's because you are shameless and insist on pestering Brother Ye.

You are the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and you are the granddaughter held in the palm of the prince’s hand. Even the regent, who is not a womanizer, has a soft spot for you.

With such a sharp tool delivered to your door, wouldn’t it be a pity not to make good use of it?Brother Ye didn't like you before, let alone that you are just a worn-out shoe now!

By the way, let me tell my sister something. In fact, at the palace banquet that day, I drugged you according to Brother Ye’s plan and lured Qi Yan there.

The medicine is very strong. If the yin and yang cannot be combined, you will definitely die. He did it to save you.

He knew that all this was a trap and that you didn't love him, but he still willingly asked for permission to marry you back.

It's pitiful that Qi Yan is devoted to you, but you hate him so much. "

She was sorry for him. Thinking of Qi Yan, Shen Wan's heart ached, but she also felt a faint sense of hope.

That man holds a large number of troops and has power over the government and the public. When he returns from the border victory, he will not let go of the traitor who killed the king and usurped the throne.

But at this moment, the guard hurried over, walked to Qi Ye's side, and handed over his hand to report:

"Your Majesty, as you expected, after receiving the news, the regent led his troops back to the capital overnight and has now reached the city gate."

"Without an edict, he returned from the battlefield secretly and led troops to surround the palace with the intention of treason. He will be killed without mercy!"

With sinister eyes, Qi Ye looked at Shen Wan on the ground with a sneer after giving instructions.

"what are you going to do?"

"The entire Shen family has been raided, why do you think I'm still keeping you alive?"

Is it to contain Qi Yan?

Suddenly reacting, Shen Wan grabbed the fallen dagger with her unbroken left hand and wiped it on her neck without hesitation.

But just as the blade touched the skin, Qi Ye stopped him sharply.

After removing her dagger, Qi Ye raised his hand and touched Shen Wan's acupoint, "Since you love me so much, then help me one last time."

The wide cuffs that were originally cut fell down the moment the man raised his hand.

Seeing the smoothness on the arm, Shen Wan suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Your birthmark..."
