On this day, the sky was still clear in the morning, but as soon as noon passed, dark clouds began to gather, and there was a depressing atmosphere in the air.

In the evening, the wind blew violently, breaking the branches in the courtyard.

Inside the house, the old lady knelt on the futon and recited Buddhist scriptures.

She fiddled with the beads in her hand quickly.

Ever since Mrs. Wang mentioned the death of the late Mrs. Wang a few days ago, she has been feeling uneasy.

Nightmares plagued her every night, making it difficult for her to sleep or eat well.

Especially today.

She kept chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Sudden.

The thread on the purple jade Buddha string in his hand was broken.

One hundred and eight beads.

Dropped to the ground.

Crisp sounds came and went.

The old lady turned pale.

Just when she was panicking, there was a clanging sound from the unclosed window, and the unfazed old lady suffered a cardiac arrest.

When Sun's mother walked in, she saw broken beads on the ground, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart for no reason.

The old lady has been reciting Buddhist sutras for decades and has never had a prayer bead break. In addition, the old lady is restless these days... but don't think something is going to happen.

At that time, the window was still clanging, and Mother Sun scolded the maid, "Why did you close the window? This shocked the old lady. Do you want to eat something?!"

The maid carefully avoided the beads and hurried over to close the window.

Two more maids came in, knelt on the ground and picked up the beads one by one.

Mother Sun went over to help the old lady up and said, "It takes a day or two to recite Buddhist scriptures. Madam, you haven't eaten well or slept well these days. You should focus on your body and bones. If you worship the Buddha sincerely, the Bodhisattva will not blame you." of."

Mother Sun had been serving the old lady for decades, and she had never seen her so uneasy before. She invited the imperial doctor into the house and prescribed medicine to calm her mind, but it didn't work.

The old lady was already panicking, but at this time, the prayer beads were broken again, which made her even more uneasy, wondering where she could get dinner.

After Sun's mother tried to persuade her for a long time, the old lady barely ate half a bowl of porridge and couldn't take another bite.

But she didn't eat much porridge. Even if the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor had no effect, the old lady drank every drop.

The old lady didn't sleep well for several nights in a row. No matter how sleepy she was during the day, she would just take a nap and then wake up. Now she was very sleepy. After washing a little, she undressed and went to sleep.

In order for the old lady to have a good sleep, Mother Sun asked Hongxiu to light some Anshen incense and place it on the small table next to the bed.

Mother Sun was guarding the room, and when she fell asleep due to the soothing fragrance, the maid came in and said, "Mother Sun, Master Hou asked you to go to the outer courtyard."

Mother Sun was wondering, why would Mr. Hou come to find her?

Forget about looking for her, but if you look for her at this hour, it's going to rain.

But the Marquis came to find her, not to mention it hadn't rained yet, even if it was raining heavily, she would still have to go if a knife fell from the sky.

Mother Sun told Hong Xiu a few words and then went out.

On a rainy day, it gets dark very quickly, and the wind is so strong that it’s impossible to light the lanterns on the corridor.

The maid was holding a lantern to clear the way, but before she left Qinghui Courtyard, the lantern was blown out. It was so dark that the road was not easy to walk. She didn't know if the Marquis had something urgent to do but wanted to see her at this time. Mother Sun felt extremely uneasy.

Inside the house, the old lady fell asleep, but her sleep was very uneasy.

The windows rattled in the wind, waking her up.

She shouted several times, but no one answered her.

The old lady was a little confused whether she was dreaming.

She was never away from anyone, especially on such a stormy day, it was Mother Sun who kept vigil for her with her maid.

The old lady pushed herself up and sat up.

I saw that the windows were all open, and the strong wind almost blew them away.

Why didn't you even close the window?

Just when the old lady was wondering, suddenly...

The flowerpot on the high table next to the Arhat's couch fell to the ground.

The sound of shattering flower pots was deafening, but was quickly covered up by the rumble of thunder.

Lightning outside the window tore the night apart.

In the moment of light, the old lady saw a figure in the room, and she thought she was being deceived.

However, at this moment, a second flash of lightning illuminated the room, and the old lady saw that figure again, and the face was so familiar.

Yes--

First old lady!

Almost instantly, the blood was drained from the old lady's face.

The figure approached step by step.

The old lady was trembling with fear, and a cold voice kept coming, "Why do you want to harm me? Why do you want to kill me?!"

After asking several times.

"tell me!"

"you tell me!"

The old lady was struck by fear all over her body. She suddenly laughed and said in a cold voice, "I dare to kill you. Am I still afraid that you will come to seek my life after you die?!"

"If you want to know, I'm telling you!"

"How come you and I grew up together and you can be a high-ranking Madam Hou, but I can only marry the son of a fourth-grade military general?!"

"I can not be reconciled!"

"Only when you die can everything about you belong to me!"

"You died when you were in your prime, and the old Marquis will remember you for the rest of your life, but so what? He also respected me for the rest of his life!"

"The Marquis is also very filial to me. No one will avenge you!"

"It's pitiful to be like you. You won't close your eyes until death, and you can only come to me to claim your life on your own..."

At this point, the old lady laughed wantonly, "Even if I die today, my life will be worth it. I only regret not sending Mr. Hou to reunite with your mother and son earlier!"

The old lady thought she was going to die, so she said whatever she wanted.

But just as she finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark room.

Shen Wan blew the fire stick, lit the candle, and the dark room suddenly became bright.

The old lady saw Shen Wan and the livid face standing next to Shen Wan.

Not someone else.

It was Shen Jing.

The old lady's pale face was almost like that of a dead person.

Shen Jing's eyes were red, redder than the three days and nights he fought with the enemy on the battlefield.

The old lady was sitting on the bed. She watched helplessly as Shen Jing walked towards her, grabbed her neck and pulled her off the bed.

The veins on the back of Shen Jing's hands bulged, and Shen Wan was worried that his father would strangle the old lady to death because he couldn't hold back.

She killed the late old lady, did all the evil, and still enjoyed all the glory and wealth. Killing her like this was too easy for her.

Shen Wan wanted to persuade Shen Jing, but before she could speak, the Minister of Punishment had already stepped forward, grabbed Shen Jing's hand, and advised him, "Marquis Pingyang, calm down."

Yes, the Minister of Punishment is also here.

Shen Wan wanted the old lady to be ruined, wanted her to live a life worse than death, and wanted her to die without a burial place.

Everyone knows that the old lady broke off the marriage and married the old marquis in order to repay the old lady for saving her life. She was kind to her father in raising her. If she died quietly like this, her father would have to die. To keep her filial piety, she must be buried with splendor.

Just thinking about it makes me sick to death.

Shen Wan then invited the Minister of Punishment to make the old lady's crimes public. Only when the old lady confessed what happened back then could Mrs. Wang, who gave the old lady advice, be brought to justice.

Shen Jing didn't let go, the Minister of Punishment broke his hand away, and the old lady fell to the ground.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment has seen many cases in the Ministry of Punishment, but this is the first time he has seen such a poisonous woman. Under the guise of repaying her kindness, she has done all kinds of evil things, but still made the old marquis respect her for a lifetime. The old marquis knew well, and also I will die with my eyes open.

The Minister of Justice waved his hand and said, "Take her to the Ministry of Justice."
