In the old lady's room, Aunt Qingyang stared quietly at the low cabinet.

The height of the cabinet has now become out of reach for the old lady who once covered the sky with one hand.

The old lady was old and frail, and her steps were unsteady, but she still stubbornly held the sharp dagger in her hand, as if it was her last dignity and strength.

Aunt Qingyang looked at the old mother and said softly, "You can leave first."

Then, she slowly walked to the bedside, where the old lady was lying. Her face was pale, but her eyes were full of resentment and determination.

The dagger was pressed against her neck, as if announcing some unshakable determination: "Today, I will make her kowtow."

Aunt Qingyang smiled lightly, as if with a bit of helplessness and mockery: "The princess will be here later, and she is kowtowing to the ancestors at this moment. Old Madam, do you really want to end your life before the princess arrives? You put yourself before the ancestors, I'm afraid even you can't bear such a decision."

She turned around and opened the doors and windows of the room one by one. The cold wind whistled in, instantly blowing away the warmth in the house.

Aunt Qingyang walked to the bed, gently lifted the worn-out quilt, and threw it on the ground, as if announcing a new beginning for this room that had lost its former glory: "Old lady, your quilt is so worn-out, it's time to change it."

The old lady was lying on the bed, her body trembling in the cold wind, but her eyes were more determined: "You can torture me as much as you want, even if I die today, I will never let her have an easy life."

Although her voice was weak, it was full of determination.

Aunt Qingyang smiled slightly, as if she had seen through the old lady's thoughts: "Today is a happy day, why bother talking about life and death? With Princess Linglong here, how can you, old lady, die so easily?"

She began to get busy, tidying up the room, wiping the dust, sweeping the floor... Despite the biting cold wind, her movements were orderly, as if she was doing something extremely ordinary.

The old lady was shivering on the bed, and the dagger in her hand became stiff due to the cold.

Aunt Qingyang said softly while busying herself: "This room is really dirty and messy. It seems that the servants didn't serve you well. Since the princess hasn't arrived yet, I will clean up the room for you first."

After a busy time, the room finally became tidy.

Aunt Qingyang stood in front of the bed, looking at the old lady who had fainted from the cold, and couldn't help feeling an inexplicable sadness in her heart. She gently picked up the dagger on the ground, picked up the quilt on the ground and covered the old lady with it, and sighed softly: "You have spent your whole life in fighting, tyranny and cruelty, but now you have ended up like this, it's really sad."

Yun Xi did not cause any waves because of this incident.

Aunt Qingyang left quietly. She knew that this old lady who had once been so glorious, domineering and cruel was about to reach the end of her life.

Her final struggle seemed so pale and powerless, like a dying beast that had lost all strength to resist.

When Aunt Qingyang returned to Yunxi, she had already kowtowed to her ancestors and was about to kowtow to Old Lady Lin and Censor Xiao.

She knew that she would have to kowtow again but this time the meaning would be completely different - one time was to thank her parents for raising her and the other time was to witness this happy event in front of relatives and friends.
