Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Two constables forcefully ushered Ms. Zhang into the dismal confines of the death cell.

Despite her weariness, Ms. Zhang clung to the belief that her hard-earned store would remain secure. Her faith intensified as her brother, accompanied by a band of rescuers, appeared on the scene.

Chen Liner, having been acquitted, gazed through tear-filled eyes, finding solace within her heart. A newfound chapter awaited her.

Recollections of advice from Qin Zhenzhen echoed in her mind.

Dont belittle yourself for past mistakes. Your worth is not defined by your history with w.a.n.g Nian. Embrace self-respect, and others will follow suit. Only by holding yourself in high regard can you expect others to do the same.

Leave the misfortunes behind, embark on a fresh journey. Youth is on your side, and a promising future awaits.

Chen Liner, San, and their companions returned to her dwelling.

Since Ms. Zhangs incarceration, Chen Liners house had become a refuge. It surpa.s.sed Ms. Zhangs residence in both s.p.a.ce and allure.

Inside, Ms. Zhangs children and their grandparents wept.

Ms. Zhangs eldest son, absent from the house, had likely ventured into the mountains to spread the news.

The youngest son, aged ten, clung fearfully to his grandfather, trembling visibly. Witnessing his mothers torment and subsequent confession haunted him. He had overheard the grim p.r.o.nouncement of his mothers impending decapitation within three days.

Though aware of his elder brothers journey into the mountains to secure help, the young boy couldnt shake the fear that, if help did not arrive, they would be left orphaned.

The prospect of a parentless existence was too dire for him to fathom.

w.a.n.g Nians father shot a hostile glare at Chen Liner. What brings you here?

Youve already taken my sons life, and now youre after my daughter-in-law? w.a.n.g Nians mother, even more irrational, grabbed a broom, poised to strike Chen Liner.

You wretch! You lured my son and caused his death. Yet, you have the audacity to live in this world

Just as she raised the broom, Liu Dazhuang, who had accompanied Chen Liner, swiftly s.n.a.t.c.hed it away.

Poxed Face w.a.n.g produced a doc.u.ment and recited the crimes of w.a.n.g Nian and Madam Zhang.

w.a.n.g Nian and Ms. Zhang stand accused of grave offenses, with Ms. Zhang facing a death sentence. Since w.a.n.g Nian is already deceased and buried, there wont be a public decapitation for her. Ms. Zhang is scheduled for execution in the market at noon in three days!

The residence and shop occupied by Chen Liners family will be returned immediately.

Please take stock of your belongings and vacate Chen Liners house with the children.

w.a.n.g Nians son and daughter erupted in louder sobs.

w.a.n.g Nians parents, in a state of grief, adamantly refused to leave, their cries mixing with bitter accusations.

Everyone, bear witness! The former governor pa.s.sed a clear judgment, and Chen Liner has confessed. Now shes pointing fingers at my son and daughter-in-law!

Its evident that this wretch, Chen Linter, must have seduced the new governor to manipulate the case

Overwhelmed by frustration, Chen Liner seized the broom from Liu Dazhuangs grasp and swung it forcefully at w.a.n.g Nians parents.

Its the fathers negligence that led to this! If you hadnt supported your son and daughter-in-law, my family wouldnt have fallen victim to their actions.

Despite knowing that your son and daughter-in-law engaged in illicit activities with ill-gotten gains, you shamelessly basked in their false displays of filial piety!

With the truth laid bare for all to see, you still have the audacity to spew baseless accusations against the governor!

Ill beat the two of you senseless! Youre nothing but disrespectful, old scoundrels!

Ill beat you to the ground! Its astonis.h.i.+ng that our family ever considered you two as decent people
