Yang Wingjun was thirty-four years old this year. He had been with Mu YingRui for twelve years, but he didnât have a wife.
It wasnât that he didnât want to start a family, but Mu YingRui didnât let him get married. âYou canât start a family or have children. Otherwise, youâll have other concerns and wonât be able to wholeheartedly protect me and work for me.â
He was thirty-four years old, but he didnât even have a son. There were three filial impieties and not having a descendant was the worse. How was he going to meet his parents in the underworld? So, when he had been with Wang Yiping, he had changed from like, carnal desire, ***, and then finally love.
But now, the woman he loved told him that she treated him only like a tool she used. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous!
For a period of time, he had pitied Mu YingRui for having good looks, power, and status, but he didnât have what a guard like him had. He didnât expect that he and Mu YingRui ended up in the same situation.
He betrayed his master today. Even if Mu YingRui didnât kill him, Old General Mu and Zi You wouldnât let him off.
The laughable thing was that he thought he had broken into Hundred Herb Garden, but someone actually let him in. The purpose was to let him see Wang Yipingâs true nature.
He saw it clearly and his heart was dead now! Yang Qingjun raised his palm and pressed it over his head. He used up all of his strength and slammed down.
A âbangâ sounded and red and white brain matter sprayed all over Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui
They screamed in fear, but Yang Qingjun had already collapsed. His head was shattered. His eyes were wide open and he died with grievances!
Mu YingRui was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He covered his head and ran out regardless of everything. He spun around like a housefly as he ran out of Hundred Herb Garden.
Zi Youâs words kept echoing in his ears. âYou are destined to be utterly isolated by everyone. You are destined to be isolated by everyone......â
As such, Mu YingRui couldnât attend Zi Youâs wedding. On December 21, three days before Zi Youâs wedding, he was dismissed from his post for courruption and bribery of higher-ranked officials. He was sentenced to exile in Nanjiang and was never allowed to return to the capital again.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The sad thing was that from his imprisonment to his exile, only Shui Yiniang came to see him out of all of his concubines. She didnât go to express her heartfelt feelings, but she went there to scold and hit him. âYou b*stard! Youâre not even as good as an animal! Huiâer was your son. Your son! How could you do it? Ah! Youâll die a horrible death. I curse you to die a horrible death!â
Second Yiniang and Fourth Yiniang had children. Zi You gave them each 2,000 silvers. She told them, âFather is like this right now. If youâre willing to follow him in exile, I wonât stop you. If youâre not willing, take this money. Oh, you can also take the things in your rooms. Go seek out a new life. Remember! Donât be someone elseâs concubine. Find a man who will treat you wholeheartedly and raise your children well.â
The two happily packed up their things and left. The furnishings in their rooms, the money they had saved over the years, and the money Xiaojie gave to them were enough for them to live a good life.
After Third Yiniang received the money, she didnât hesitate at all and discussed with Second Yiniang and Fourth Yiniang about opening an embroidery shop together.
But Shui YouLian insisted on staying. âXiaojie, my life is yours. Itâs better without Laoye now. Let me be your servant. Please donât drive me away......â
