The more Ms. Zhang heard, the colder she became.

Before Su Bin issued the execution order, Ms. Zhang had already begun pleading for mercy.

Please spare me, Governor!

I have elders and children. Without me, they might all go and beg

Governor, show mercy, and spare my life

I dont deserve to die

Attempting to climb up to Su Bin, Ms. Zhang was halted by guards who urged her son to act swiftly.

Hurry and give her something to eat before its too late.

With a mouthful of meat, Ms. Zhang suddenly burst into tears. Son, daughter, you must be good people from now on. Dont follow in your father and mothers footsteps, causing harm to others and yourselves

The four of them embraced each other, shedding tears.

At a quarter to one, constables took away Ms. Zhangs child, s.h.i.+elding them from witnessing the impending execution.

The executioners swift motion took mere seconds from the order to the slas.h.i.+ng of the blade. It was a smooth, efficient process.

Contrary to theatrical portrayals, there were no heroic interventions. No one descended from the sky to save the condemned.

Ms. Zhangs long-awaited brother failed to appear for her rescue, leaving her unable to find peace in death.

The onlookers sighed in relief; at least, nothing went awry.

It appeared that the bandits in the mountains preyed on the vulnerable and shrank from confronting the formidable.

Upon learning that Governor Su had summoned the leader of the martial arts world and other renowned heroes, they quickly retreated, concealing themselves and avoiding any confrontation.

The concern lingered that once these heroes departed Shanglin, the bandits might emerge from the mountains to inflict further harm on the locals.

Observing Ms. Zhangs public decapitation, Chen Liners eyes welled with tears as she softly addressed the direction where her family lay buried. Ms. Zhang and w.a.n.g Nian are gone, but the evil in the mountains persists!

She and w.a.n.g San made their way to the cemetery to honor their relatives, informing them of the new governors actions against Ms. Zhang. Mrs. Su a.s.sured them that Governor Su intended to address the menace posed by the malevolent figures in the mountains.

While uncertain of the specific method Governor Su would employ, Chen Linter believed in his commitment to eradicating evil for the well-being of the people. This prospect held the promise of genuine revenge.

In recent days, Chen Liner had come to understand that she didnt need to embrace death to attain freedom. Mrs. Sus wisdom resonatedshe needed to live well.

Living well meant commemorating her family annually, burning offerings for their clothing and daily needs, ensuring their graves remained free of overgrowth.

With this realization, Chen Liner felt a sense of relief. After paying her respects to her family, she entrusted the shops t.i.tle deed to w.a.n.g San. Third Brother, the shop is yours from now on.

w.a.n.g San, taken aback, responded, Even if you want me to manage it, you dont have to give me the t.i.tle deed!

Chen Liner spoke earnestly, Your efforts played a crucial role in securing my acquittal. These two shops are not merely for you to manage; I genuinely intend to gift them to you.

w.a.n.g San hastily shook his head. How could I accept that? I only did what I could. I cant possibly take over your shop.

Youre on your own. How will you make a living if you dont run the shop? Chen Liner replied.

Im sincerely offering these two shops to you. Since the unfortunate events with Uncle, Aunt, and Cousin-in-law, youve been disheartened and havent found the spirit to rebuild the family.

Its not because of your poverty. You lack land and strength to leverage.

I want you to sell these two shops, venture to the countryside, acquire land, start a family, and lead a regular life. This way, the w.a.n.g family wont be without descendants..
