After Jia Mo committed suicide by taking poison, the tense atmosphere in the Dali Temple eased somewhat, but Chen Jue and Wei Lang knew that the matter was far from over.

They immediately sorted out the relevant evidence and case details and went to the palace to meet the emperor.

In the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression.

After Chen Jue and Wei Lang paid their respects respectfully, they reported to the emperor in detail what Jia Mo had done in the Dali Temple and his suicide.

The emperor was furious after hearing this. He slammed the armrest of the dragon throne and said loudly: "How dare the Jia family be so bold and reckless, privately manufacturing weapons and intending to rebel. This is truly an unforgivable crime. Chen Jue, Wei Lang, I order you to thoroughly investigate this case and make sure to get to the bottom of the Jia family's crimes. Don't let anyone else in the Jia family go."

On the other hand, Sima Fei'er was fortunately not implicated because of her role as a tainted witness and her good deeds in Xia Pi City.

The emperor, in recognition of her contributions, gave her a mansion.

Sima Feier packed up her things and prepared to move out of Yang Xiu's house to start a new life.

When Sima Feier walked out of the door of Yang Xiu's house, a complex emotion surged in her heart.

She looked back at this place that once filled her with fantasy, but now she only felt disgust.

At this moment, Yang Xiu's mother rushed out, her face full of anger, pointing at Sima Fei'er and scolding: "You ungrateful woman, our Yang family has been very kind to you, yet you are so cruel to leave."

Sima Fei'er was not afraid at all. She sneered and said, "You treat me well? Humph, you Yang family have never treated me as a human being."

Yang Xiu's mother was so angry that she was shaking all over. "You are talking nonsense! You married into our Yang family, ate our food, used our things, and now you want to pat your butt and leave."

Sima Feier glared at her, "You know how much I have suffered in the Yang family. You are such an evil mother-in-law, always finding fault with me and making things difficult for me. I work like a slave for the Yang family, but you don't even have the slightest gratitude."

"How dare you call me a wicked mother-in-law? You are not a good wife yourself, and you dare to blame me?"

"I am not a faithful wife? Your Yang family is truly filthy. Yang Xiu is cowardly and incompetent, and only listens to you. And you are selfish and only think about your own interests. And Yang Xiu's sister is also a rude and unreasonable person. Your whole family is doomed."

Yang Xiu's mother was so angry that her face turned blue. "You bitch, I must teach you a lesson today."

As she said that, she was about to rush up and hit Sima Feier.

Sima Fei'er dodged flexibly and continued, "I have had enough of your Yang family's torture. Today I will leave this damn place and never come back."

"You want to leave? Not so easy. You have to leave all the Yang family's things behind."

"The Yang family's stuff? I've suffered so much humiliation in the Yang family, and these things are the compensation I deserve. I won't leave anything behind."

At this time, Yang Xiu also rushed over. Seeing the chaotic scene, he frowned.

When Yang Xiu's mother saw her son coming, she immediately cried, "Son, look at this woman. She wants to take everything in the house."

Yang Xiu looked at Sima Fei'er with a gloomy face and said, "Fei'er, don't go too far."

Sima Feier sneered, "Too much? Am I too much? This is what I deserve. These are my dowry, and there is also the compensation for the meritorious service of Xia Pi City bestowed by His Majesty. No one can take it away."

Yang Xiu wanted to say something, but Sima Feier interrupted him, "Yang Xiu, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You are just like your family, selfish."

Yang Xiu's mother started cursing again, but Sima Fei'er ignored them.

The moment Sima Feier stepped out of Yang Xiu's house, she felt relieved, but also had a complicated emotion surging in her heart.

At this time, Yang Xiu also chased out, his face full of disgust.

"Sima Fei'er, have you had enough of making trouble?" Yang Xiu said angrily.

Sima Fei'er turned around and looked at Yang Xiu's disgusted expression, and the disappointment in her heart instantly reached its peak.

"Make a fuss? Yang Xiu, you actually think I'm making a fuss? From the beginning to the end, what on earth am I in your eyes?"

Yang Xiu frowned, not hiding his disgust.

"Since you married into the Yang family, you should abide by the rules of being a wife and serve your elders well. But you always stir up trouble and make this family restless."

"I'm causing trouble? Yang Xiu, do you have a conscience? You and your family have never treated me as a human being. I'm tired of this. Yang Xiu, you will never understand what a woman really needs. You only know how to maintain your so-called family dignity, but you have never cared about my feelings."

Sima Fei'er's tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

Yang Xiu disagreed. "A woman should follow the three obediences and four virtues, but you always think about yourself. You are not a qualified wife at all."

"A qualified wife? Do you deserve a qualified wife? You are cowardly and incompetent, irresponsible, and only know how to obey orders in front of your family. A man like you is not worthy of my love at all."

Sima Feier took a deep breath, looked at Yang Xiu, and sneered, "Back then, when you divorced Chen Jia, she asked me if I regretted it. Now, seeing your family like this, I can only say... hehe, she hit the nail on the head. Forget it, anyway, we will never have any contact with each other. You will never have an outstanding woman in your life. Your family... hehe, will only be a stumbling block for you to move forward. I wish you a bumpy journey and exhaustion both physically and mentally."

After leaving Yang Xiu's house, Sima Fei'er's mood gradually calmed down.

While moving things, Sima Fei'er unexpectedly met Chen Jia who was out shopping.

Sima Fei'er was filled with mixed feelings when she saw Chen Jia.

She walked forward slowly, bowed to Chen Jia, and said sincerely: "Miss Chen, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I would have been doomed."

Chen Jia looked at Sima Fei'er, "It is commendable that you can turn back after losing your way. I hope you can live a good life in the future."

A trace of emotion flashed in Sima Fei'er's eyes as she recalled what happened a year ago.

At that time, she was jealous of the rivalry between Yang Xiu and Chen Jia.

Chen Jia once said that she would regret it, and now, she really regrets it.

"Miss Chen, you were right back then. I really regret marrying Yang Xiu now. At that time, I was blinded by vanity and desire, and thought that marrying Yang Xiu would bring me happiness. But later I realized that I was just a pawn being used by others."

Chen Jia sighed and said, "We will always make mistakes on the road of life. What's important is that we can learn from our mistakes and find ourselves again."

Sima Feier nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. "I've figured it out. From now on, I will be my own master. I will no longer be controlled by others, and I will no longer lose myself for empty fame and fortune. I will create my own life with my own hands."

Chen Jia was pleased to see Sima Fei'er's transformation. "I hope you can keep your word. You still have a long way to go in life, so seize the opportunity."
