Chen Qingzhu looked at Zhang who was kneeling on the ground, and his heart was calm.

The enemy who had caused her and her daughter's tragic death had long since become vulnerable.

Now, knowing her identity, Zhang did not try to escape, nor did she curse or hate, but only begged for mercy with a dead heart.

Because she also knew the difference in strength between the two, she stopped struggling in vain.

Zhang has always been such a smart person who can judge the situation.

At this moment, she is no longer the high and mighty marquis’ wife, but a pitiful mother.

But even so, it cannot change the evil that Zhang had done to her and the pain he had brought her.

Even if we don’t talk about past lives, let’s just talk about this life.

Zhang's father opened a gambling house and in order to seize her family's meager fortune, he designed a plan to break up her once happy family. Her mother was forced to death and she herself was sold into slavery.

After becoming slaves, they were treated like animals and trampled and slaughtered at will.

It was clearly they who made her a slave, but they turned around and despised her lowly status, and used this slave status they gave her to oppress and exploit her even more severely.

Chen Qingzhu doesn't have such a broad mind to forgive such a person.

"Death is the lightest punishment in the world."

A beheading is only a moment of pain.

Even if you are cut into pieces, it will be over in two or three days at most.

For her, revenge means making her enemies feel twice as much pain as she once did.

"I want you to live."

Zhang looked up at her in surprise.

When she met those eyes that were like a cold pond, her heart sank instantly.

Sure enough, Chen Qingzhu said:

"No matter how difficult it is, you must live for twenty-four years."

Zhang made her a slave for twenty-four years in her previous life, and she charged one year’s interest.

She will not let go of other members of the Zhang family either.

"If you live, Pei Hui can grow up normally. If you die one day earlier, I will castrate your son and make him a eunuch."

Just like she had been before, people with weaknesses are the easiest to manipulate.

Zhang looked at her young son. He had been instinctively a little scared since entering the palace, and now he was snuggling tightly beside her.

She ignored etiquette and hugged Pei Hui tightly in her arms.

"Okay. Please keep your word, God."

She knew that the next twenty-five years would not be easy.

But in order to keep Huiger alive, she can endure anything.

"Somebody come!"

Chen Qingzhu shouted loudly.

"God!"

The palace maids and eunuchs immediately came outside to take orders.

Chen Qingzhu said:

"Pass on my decree that the wife of the Marquis of Jingnan, Zhang, will be demoted to a lowly slave and forced to work in the Xinzheku, and she will never be pardoned."

Zhang's whole body went limp.

Xin Zheku.

The slaves there did the hardest and most tiring work in the entire palace, ate the worst food, and were often beaten and scolded by the stewards.

And she will have to live there for at least twenty-five years, and will not be free until the day she dies.

In comparison, dying is so easy.

But Chen Qingzhu's order was not finished yet, she continued:

"Take Pei Hui to the Salesian Church."

Immediately, a eunuch rushed to snatch the child from Zhang's arms.

Pei Hui was so scared that he started crying loudly.

"Hui'er! Hui'er!" Zhang couldn't help but hug Pei Hui tighter and refused to let go.

Chen Qingzhu said calmly:

"Perhaps you want him to be castrated and become a eunuch now?"

Zhang was startled and suddenly let go of her hand:

"no no!"

Pei Hui was taken away by the eunuchs while crying and struggling. Zhang tried to chase him but was pinned to the ground and unable to move. She could only shout Hui'er's name.

The separation of mother and child is also Chen Qingzhu's revenge.

When Pei Xuan was taken away from her when he was just one month old, she knelt down and begged Zhang.

In her previous life, when she was dying, she also exchanged her life for Rong Niang's peaceful life.

But did Zhang ever show mercy to her?

No.

So now, she is returning the same pain to Zhang.

Seeing Pei Hui disappear from her sight, Zhang cried bitterly.
