Chapter 1249 Executed
“How could such a big thing happen to Marquis Xing’s Mansion?” At the same time, in the Princess’s Mansion, Princess Yuyan was also very shocked. She was too ashamed to go out recently, so she had to stay in her own mansion. Although she was unwilling, she had to wait to get married.
“Has Infanta Qinghua really been found?” she asked again in disbelief.
“Infanta Qinghua has been found, but I heard that she is crazy. After so many years of madness, she is unlikely to be clear-headed.” The guard of the Xu State reported.
“Is Princess Chen alright?” Princess Yuyan was still concerned about Shao Wanru.
“Princess Chen is fine. She is in Prince Chen’s Mansion now,” the guard replied.
“If they are fine, why are they having trouble with me again?” Princess Yuyan said sullenly. Previously, her envoy was in trouble. It was said that there was something wrong with the medicine brought by the envoy. Later, it was said that a servant of the envoy talked nonsense. Although she wasn’t in trouble because of this matter, it was enough to make Princess Yuyan depressed.
While she was talking, someone outside reported, “Princess Yutao is here.”
Princess Yuyan waved her hand, and the guard stepped aside. Princess Yutao came in with two palace maids.
“What are you here at this time, Big Sister?” Princess Yuyan asked rudely.
Princess Yutao, who took the first seat right away, scolded with a cold face, “I heard that you’ve sent someone to inquire about the affairs of Marquis Xing’s Mansion.”
“So what if I’ve done that? Such a big thing happened to Marquis Xing’s Mansion. Why can’t I inquire about it?” Princess Yuyan said disapprovingly and squinted at Princess Yutao. She was having a hard time, and she didn’t like Princess Yutao. The reason why she married into this country was because of the plot of Princess Yutao.
If it weren’t for the fact that Princess Yutao had plotted against her, she wouldn’t have ended up like this. She vented all her anger on Princess Yutao, who was an eyesore to her.
“Do you know what you’re here for?” Princess Yutao asked sternly.
“I know what I’m here for, of course. I’m going to marry into this country so that the two countries can make peace. Do you want to replace me to marry into the country now?” Princess Yuyan said sarcastically. No matter how she thought about it, this marriage was not going well. She didn’t like Chu Qing at all. He wanted to marry her. She felt as nauseated and uncomfortable as swallowing a fly.
Smack! Princess Yutao suddenly stood up and slapped Princess Yuyan hard, making Princess Yuyan tilt her head.
There was a trace of blood at the corner of her tender mouth.
“Yutao, what are you doing?” Princess Yuyan was furious. She stood up and was about to fight back.
Her hand was grabbed by Princess Yutao. “You’d better figure it out, Yuyan. You came to the Kingdom of Dongcang to get married. If the Emperor of the Kingdom of Dongcang thinks that you are a spy sent by the Xu State, do you know what will happen to you?”
“You are the spy!” Princess Yuyan screamed and tried hard to get rid of Princess Yutao’s hand. However, Princess Yutao held her hand so tightly that she couldn’t get rid of her no matter how hard she tried.
“It doesn’t matter if you are regarded as a spy. You’d better not implicate the Xu State. No one will care about your life and death.” Princess Yutao threw her hand hard. Princess Yuyan staggered and fell heavily to the ground in a mess.
“Yutao, what do you want? Are you bullying me because Mother and Eldest Brother are not around? Just wait. When you go back, they will definitely teach you a lesson.” Princess Yuyan had never been so embarrassed. She was so angry that she screamed and pointed at Princess Yutao with a livid face.
The guard standing in the corner shrank back, pretending that he was not in the room.
The guards had seen a lot of quarrels between the two princesses recently. Either for this matter or for that matter, Princess Yuyan did not win. However, she still didn’t give up and provoked Princess Yutao from time to time.
“Yuyan, don’t you know the reality? You can’t go back to the Xu State. No matter what your mother and Eldest Brother think, they won’t give you a chance to go back. You will live here for the rest of your life and live with Commandery Prince Qing. If you want to live a better life, you’d better not go beyond your limits. I heard that Commandery Prince Qing has a childhood sweetheart as his legal wife. Your identity is not clear now, so maybe you will just be a consort. When you marry into the mansion in the future, you will suffer a lot.”
Princess Yutao sneered. She didn’t care about the threat of Princess Yuyan and reached out to pat her hand. She sat down again. The palace maid handed over a handkerchief. She wiped her hand slowly and said in a low voice, “It’s none of my business that you’re asking for trouble, but you can’t implicate the Xu State. As a princess of another country, should you interfere in the affairs of Marquis Xing’s Mansion?”
Shao Jing’s trouble was a scandal of the Kingdom of Dongcang. If Princess Yuyan just heard about it, it would not be a big deal. But if she sent someone outside to inquire about it, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Emperor of the Kingdom of Dongcang. There was no solid evidence to prove that the person behind Shao Jing is Prince Cheng. Even the Emperor did not convict Prince Cheng because of this. He merely had Prince Cheng under supervision with other charges.
The outsiders were guessing that someone was behind Shao Jing. If Princess Yuyan got involved at this time, people would think that it was the Xu State behind Shao Jing, which was not a good thing for the Xu State.
Princess Yutao was about to form an alliance with Chu Liuchen. She couldn’t let Chu Liuchen misunderstand her, so she came to Princess Yuyan in anger.
“Don’t let me find out that you’ve sent someone to investigate this matter again. Otherwise, don’t blame me for getting rude. This is the Kingdom of Dongcang. Your good mother and Eldest Brother are too far away to help you,” Princess Yutao threatened with a faint smile.
After saying that, she threw the handkerchief in her hand to Princess Yuyan and sneered. “You’re just a consort of Commandery Prince Qing’s Mansion. How can you compare with me? I’m the future Imperial Great Daughter of the Xu State.”
After that, she stood up, picked up the hem of her dress, and walked out with the two palace maids. She came in a hurry and left in a hurry, not taking Princess Yuyan seriously at all.
Princess Yuyan was so angry that her face turned red and livid. She stood up with the help of a palace maid, picked up the teacup on the table, and threw it at the door. “Bitch, bitch… Bitch, why don’t you go to hell?”
Her eyes were filled with hatred. She hated Princess Yutao the most.
“She even wants to be the Imperial Great Daughter. That position belongs to my brother. He is the Imperial Great Son. What right does this bitch have to compete for the position? No. If the bitch stays in the Kingdom of Dongcang to marry into the country, I’ll be the most likely one to help my brother become the Imperial Great Son. At that time, I can have any handsome man I want.
“NO! I don’t want to marry Chu Qing.”
The teacup hit the door frame and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces. One of them even rolled to the feet of Princess Yuyan. She was so angry that she stepped on it hard. Unexpectedly, she slipped and fell to the ground. She accidentally pressed her hand on the broken piece and screamed.
Not only the Princess’s Mansion but also other mansions were in chaos, including the Ruiping Great Elder Princess’s Mansion, the Mansion of Prime Minister Wen, and Prime Minister Zhang’s Mansion. Many people watched secretly. Some were secretly checking, and some were quietly waiting for Shao Jing to be executed.
On the day when Shao Jing was executed, there were a lot of people watching the execution. His case had been announced. It was outrageous for him to kill his brother and imprison his sister-in-law.
Along the way, many people threw rotten eggs and cabbages at Shao Jing and scolded him fiercely. Shao Jing was numb to all this. At this time, he only wanted to die as soon as possible. He looked at everyone with a dull face and didn’t say a word even if his head was smashed and bleeding.
During the execution, many timid people left. Only some bold people watched all the time, and the executioner continued.
In a pavilion, Shao Wanru looked at the scene in front of her calmly. She should have been afraid, but she pursed her lips tightly and watched the scene below.
Shao Yuanhao stood next to her tightly. The sister and brother held each other’s hands and watched the execution quietly. They listened to the screams of Shao Jing, which slowly faded away into nothingness. The eyes of both of them were red. Others might just be watching the fun, thinking that such a person deserved to die, while the sister and brother were the ones who had to deal with the pain.
They should have had a happy family of four and their parents who loved them. But now, they were left alone and dependent on each other.
All of this was caused by Shao Jing. No matter if it was Shao Jing or Madam Jiang, in order to push their family to a dead end, they had done so many vicious things just for the title of nobility. Was the title so important? Was it so important that it surpassed everything else? Could those people be so heartless for the title of nobility?
Shao Wanru was deeply furious. In her last life, it was Shao Jing and his branch who were in power. Everyone in her branch, including her maternal grandma, shut down the desire for the second branch with their lives.
How could she not hate the first branch?
After figuring out all the things, Shao Wanru wished she could drink their blood. Shao Jing, who was screaming in front of her, was not pitiful at all. He brought this upon himself.
“Hao’er, are you afraid?” Shao Wanru asked in a low voice. There was a smell of blood in her mouth, which was disgusting. She had bitten the tip of her tongue hard just now, which made her more aware that everything in front of her was not a dream. Shao Jing really got his retribution. She had avenged her parents.
“Sister, don’t worry. I’m not afraid!” Shao Yuanhao looked at everything in front of him without dodging. The young man’s eyes were cold, and his straight body was like a vigorous bamboo in the wind, without a trace of suffocation. At this moment, he seemed to have surpassed his age and grown up a lot. He was no longer a little heir of a duke who didn’t know anything. He owned Marquis Xing’s Mansion now, but he didn’t like this so-called Marquis Xing’s Mansion.
“Sister, I don’t want this title!” the young man suddenly said.
Shao Wanru looked at the young man, who was almost as tall as her, in surprise and asked, “What?”
“Sister, I don’t want this title. I don’t want the title of Marquis Xing. I hate this title,” Shao Yuanhao said with red eyes and a trace of determination in them. He hated everything in Marquis Xing’s Mansion, as well as the people living in it, including his grandmother. He used to think that she doted on him.
