Zheng Guoxun and Zheng Bingrong had already left a suicide note before the Imperial Guard arrived, and both father and son committed suicide by taking poison.
In addition, Shangguan Wanning disappeared and had not returned yet, and Mrs. Shangguan fell ill all of a sudden.
Shangguan Yue came to Mu Jingrui's home and asked straight to the point: "Where is my daughter?"
Mu Jingrui did not deny it either.
"She's fine, I'll take her back later."
Shangguan Yue didn't say anything else. He guessed the reason why Mu Jingrui detained Shangguan Wanning, and he was sure that Mu Jingrui would not hurt her.
"It's over now, I hope you and Ning'er... can end here." Shangguan Yue's expression was very serious.
Mu Jingrui suddenly thought of Shangguan Wanning and Sun Jinyao. He smiled coldly and had a firm attitude.
"She was betrothed to me as a wife by you since she was a child. I don't care whether you want it or not. In short, if she wants to get married, she can only marry me."
"Mu Jingrui, don't think I really can't do anything to you."
After all, Shangguan Yue is the prime minister and the leader of all officials. Even Mu Jingrui is still the Minister of War, and he is still under him.
"You and Ning'er won't have any results, so you can do it yourself."
Seeing Shangguan Yueyang leaving, Mu Jingrui felt a deep decadence and sadness.
He came to the villa and watched Shangguan Wanning sitting alone under the tree, holding her knees with her hands, and staring at the ground blankly.
At that moment, Mu Jingrui's heart became soft.
He walked to Shangguan Wanning and didn't know how to tell her the result of this matter.
Mu Jingrui squatted down in front of Shangguan Wanning and whispered: "I'll take you home."
Shangguan Wanning came to her senses and her whole heart was thrust.
She grabbed Mu Jingrui's arm and asked nervously: "The case is over? Where is my grandfather? Where is my third uncle?"
Mu Jingrui lowered his eyelids and avoided Shangguan Wanning's exploration.
"Are they... dead?"
It would be strange if the emperor knew that he would not kill them in the future.
However, Mu Jingrui couldn't bear to tell Shangguan Wanning that after they committed suicide, the emperor still felt that it was not relieved enough and hung the bodies of the two on the city wall to expose the sun.
The Yiyong Marquis's Mansion was confiscated, and no one was allowed to worship or collect the bodies of the two.
"Let's talk about it when you go back. At this time... your mother needs you."
Mother was Shangguan Wanning's weakness. She immediately stood up.
Mu Jingrui accompanied Shangguan Wanning to deliberately bypass the noisy streets, but he still couldn't avoid them.
When the two walked through an alley, they saw a group of people snatching rotten vegetables and leaves and sucking water, muttering and cursing.
"I really didn't expect that the righteous and brave Marquis were such a person, so why are there all the loyal and fierce families? Bah!"
"That's right, for the sake of his own selfish desire, he actually vacancies the lives of a hundred thousand soldiers. It's really a good thing for them to die like this."
"Let's go and smash it a few times to relieve the qi."
Shangguan Wanning listened to everyone's discussion, her hands and feet were cold and her face was pale.
"Go back."
"Where is my grandfather?" Shangguan Wanning looked at Mu Jingrui with tears in her eyes and roared, "Tell me."
Mu Jingrui didn't say anything, Shangguan Wanning pushed him away and ran over with the crowd.
"Shangguan Wanning, you are not allowed to go." Mu Jingrui pulled his legs to chase him back, but in the excitement of the crowd, he was squeezed by the crowded crowd and could not catch Shangguan Wanning at all.
Shangguan Wanning followed the people to the city gate. From a distance, she saw her grandfather and third uncle hanging on the city wall like two withered leaves.
This scene is like the previous life.
But...there are only two of them now.
But it still caused a huge impact on Shangguan Wanning's heart.
She stood blankly, scene after scene flashing through her mind, and her grandfather's pampering and teachings for her were still vivid in her mind.
"Why... why is this happening..." Shangguan Wanning murmured to herself, tears could no longer stop falling freely.
Shangguan Wanning's knees softened and she fell to the ground.
"This kind of person deserves to be exposed to the sun and deserves to die well."
"They should have cut off their meat piece by piece and fed it to the dog."
Faced with the excited and insulted people, the soldiers guarding the city lowered the rope understandingly so that the things in their hands could be hit on Zheng Guoxun and Zheng Bingrong.
Seeing this, Shangguan Wanning had no idea where she got the strength, so she pushed the crowd away and rushed to the front.
"Please... let them go... they know they were wrong..." Shangguan Wanning begged with tears in her face.
"Who are you little girl? Get out of here quickly."
"That's right, why do you not understand right or wrong? They deserve it."
Shangguan Wanning could not refute, but she really couldn't remain indifferent when she watched her relatives die.
"They are dead... all are gone. You are very kind. Don't treat them like this anymore, okay?"
"You are in the same group with them. OK, if you don't let go, then you will fight together."
Someone in the crowd took the lead and smashed a few eggs on Shangguan Wanning's face.
The pain made her thoughts clearer.
She insisted on not getting out of the way, which aroused more anger, and everyone transferred their anger to her.
"If it weren't for their betrayal, my son wouldn't have died. I wish I could eat their meat and drink their blood..."
An old man rushed over and raised a bucket of feces and poured it on Shangguan Wanning.
Shangguan Wanning only felt that she was pushed.
Mu Jingrui stood in front of her.
She looked up at Mu Jingrui's embarrassed look, and tears fell like rain.
"Walk."
Mu Jingrui pulled Shangguan Wanning up and was about to squeeze out the crowd, but was surrounded by people.
Mu Jingrui was never afraid of his troops, but he was helpless in the face of the unarmed people.
Seeing that they were getting more and more excited and began to rush over and punch, he had to try his best to protect Shangguan Wanning.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, the soldiers guarding the city had to send troops to suppress it, and hung up the bodies of Zheng Guoxun and Zheng Bingrong.
"Grandpa...third uncle..."
Shangguan Wanning raised her head and looked at the two closest people, crying in a daze.
Her vision and consciousness gradually blurred until she completely lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, she was already in her room, Lutong stood by her bed with red eyes.
"Miss, are you awake?"
"Girl, how about it? Are there any discomfort?" Lu Xiangzi also came over and asked with concern.
Shangguan Wanning had already accepted the reality. She barely supported herself to sit up and asked weakly: "Master, how is my mother?"
"She was stimulated and fainted several times in a row. I'm afraid... it takes a long time to recover to get better."
"Miss, the master asked me to tell you, don't worry too much, he will do his best to deal with other things."
Shangguan Wanning closed her eyes in pain, silent.
