When the two of them were hesitating whether to go over and take a look, a primary school student rushed over and reported: The fifth lady committed suicide!
After hearing the news, the second mother's face changed color, she let out a sweet cry and hurried towards the camp.
When He Ran entered the camp, the second mother was caressing the corpse and crying bitterly, and the blood from the fifth mother's neck was still gurgling out.
Madam Ning looked at the grief-stricken Er Niang with a look of joy on her face. Liu Niang looked at the tent as if no one was in trouble, but Sanniang behind them bit her lips with a look of sadness on her face.
Mrs. Ning glanced at He Ran who came in, and then scolded Er Niang with disdain: "Stop crying, it's not upsetting, it's embarrassing for the Ning family. She knows she regrets it, and her death can't pay for her guilt."
, but you still have some blood, and you, how can you still live with dignity in the world?!"[
He Ran was just about to speak, but Er Niang stood up slowly, wiped her tears, stared at the old lady with razor-like eyes, and said word by word: "Fifth sister-in-law, out of her filial piety, she knew she was going to be humiliated, but she still came.
I don't want to be forced to death by your words, how cold-hearted are you? Isn't it enough that your six sons, two grandsons, and the old prince died in vain under the unfaithful emperor's marching order? You have to compensate us for the sake of the Zhao family.
The lives of several widows are very different. You know that you will die, but you still insist on going your own way. You don't care about our respect for you for more than ten years. All you ask for is a name of loyalty. How have you ever shown mercy to us? I, Huang Jing, am not greedy for life and afraid of death.
But you must die a worthy death. You are old and dim, and do not accept good advice. You completely do not believe that Yi Jun is a righteous army, and that the New Deal is an ancient benevolent government. What the military advisor said is true, and the reputation of the Ning family will be completely destroyed by you.
If you go against heaven with your hands, the Ning family's ancestral hall will not only offer sacrifices to the descendants, but also receive incense from the common people. It will be up to you how you will explain to your ancestors underground!"
Mrs. Ning had never been so contradicted before. She was trembling with anger and said angrily: "You...you dare to talk to me like this! You thief, you are the one who brought bad luck into my Ning family, just after you entered the door.
You killed a family of nine, you must die a good death! Wife! I have long seen that you are unable to defend yourself. I only saw you once before the battle, and you were seduced by this thief, and you committed an act of treason against the family and the master.
.”
Although Huang Juan is a resolute and wise person, she is a girl after all, and she cannot bear to be treated like a slave. Her pretty face turned pale with anger, and her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She said with shame and anger: "You...you are so slanderous!"
I couldn't say anything anymore, so I choked and cried in grievance.
He Ran took a step forward, looked at Mrs. Ning and said calmly: "I respected you a little before, but I didn't expect you to lie and slander my daughter-in-law. It is really not the behavior of a virtuous person."
Mrs. Ning knew that she had gone too far in her anger. She felt guilty when she heard the accusation. She snorted heavily and turned her head to the side. She could not argue with the ethics she had upheld throughout her life.
Liu Niang said in a hoarse and rough voice: "What the old lady said is not an unfounded lie. You two bitches will not die well!"
"If it's not a lie, then come up with real evidence." He Ran looked at her coldly. It was related to Huang Juan's reputation, and he had to ask the other party to be speechless.
Liu Niang said harshly: "The surrender of Xianzhai is solid evidence. If she hadn't been seduced by you, why did she have the desire to rebel after meeting in front of the battle? You know what kind of traitor you are!"
He Ran smiled slightly and said: "When ** was also in front of the battle, which eye saw us hooking up? How did we hook up? You tell me and I'll listen."
Liu Niang said rationally: "The way you look at her is wrong! Those of you, serious people like us, can't understand your evil methods, and only a slut like her can understand them."
He Ran laughed, and without any warning, he waved his hand and slapped her hard. The slap was crisp and loud, and Liu Niang, whose hands and feet were bound, stumbled to the ground.
He glared at He Ran with blazing eyes.
He Ran stopped his smile, looked at her contemptuously and said: "I respect the Ning family's reputation for generations, and I didn't want to humiliate you, but you really let me down. I only treat the Ning family as a hairpin for generations, and the family tradition and tutor should be a role model.
I don’t want someone like you to be so arrogant and sophistry, I think you are the one who embarrasses the Ning family the most."
Liu Niang struggled to remember, but she was so tied up that she couldn't get up. She couldn't stop cursing. She had been in the army for a long time, and the swear words she used when she was in a hurry became extremely vulgar.
Mrs. Ning couldn't stand listening anymore, and she yelled helplessly: "That's enough!" Then she said to He Ran, "Whether I have defiled her or not, we will know in the future. No need to be nagging, just do it quickly. If you are a man,
, just give us a good time!"
He Ran turned to look at Huang Wei and saw that she was kneeling on the ground holding Wu Niang's body, looking angrily at Liu Niang who was still struggling. From the conversation just now, He Ran could tell that Mrs. Ning was still speaking.
Wu Niang was concerned about her status and integrity. Most of Wu Niang's death was due to Liu Niang. It must have been her foul language that made Wu Niang so unbearable that she drew her sword and committed suicide. Huang Juan thought the same way, so she concentrated her hatred at this moment.
on her.
Thinking of this, he showed a frivolous look and said to Liu Niang on the ground: "You called me a thief, and you were right. The second lady is beautiful and fragrant, and every man will admire her. It's a pity that I confessed my love to her just now.
She scolded her righteously, but you treated such a person as a mean person. Haha, I think you have already been jealous of her beauty in your heart, right? You are ugly because your ancestors did not accumulate virtue.
I can’t blame you, but it’s your fault that you have a vicious heart. Wu Niang is also quite beautiful. I’m afraid it’s not all out of righteous indignation that you used evil words to force her to death?”
As a woman, who wouldn't care about her own appearance? He Ran's words penetrated the darkest part of Liu Niang's heart. She was indeed jealous of these beautiful sisters-in-law and had always been at odds with everyone. Now her scars were exposed mercilessly.
, she cursed hysterically, regardless of the old lady’s admonishment.
Seeing her reaction, He Ran felt quite pleased. After Honggan stuffed her mouth with a cloth, he shook his head and said, "You know I have a reputation as yin, but did you know that I also have a reputation of being jealous of evil? I punish evil people.
Have you heard of his methods?"
The gagged Liu Niang could only respond with disdainful eyes.[
Mrs. Ning said sternly: "Kill or behead me as you please, but if you do anything that tarnishes the reputation of women like us, you will be reviled by the world!"
He Ran smiled frivolously and said: "Do you think I am afraid of being reviled by people all over the world? My notoriety has already spread all over the world, what else should I worry about?"
Mrs. Ning couldn't help but show a bit of panic in her eyes, and she began to regret not committing suicide on the battlefield.
"But..." He Ran looked at Liu Niang on the ground pretending to be sad, "I really can't think of how to slander her reputation when she is so ugly. Do you think anyone will patronize her? Strip her naked.
Let's go to the camp, the soldiers will be vomiting when they see it, it will save the army rations when the army is short of food, but the army is also worried about the shortage of food."
Liu Niang's face turned the color of pig liver, and she moaned like a wild beast from her throat.
"It is not an honest act to humiliate a prisoner, let alone a woman. Please respect your words and deeds!" Mrs. Ning had to restrain herself with virtue at this time. Her tone was already harsh as before. Facing an opponent who considered herself despicable, she was not disdainful.
I also felt a bit of fear. Such people can do anything. There is no need to cause humiliation at this time. It is serious to die as soon as possible.
He Ran felt that it was almost done and waved his hand and said: "Take this ugly person out and chop him off." Huang Juan did not stop her and watched Liu Niang being dragged out with cold eyes.
He Ran said to Mrs. Ning: "For those who are as stupid and stubborn as you, I would like to humiliate you as much as possible to serve as a warning to those who come after you. However, the Second Madam and the Fifth Madam both begged for mercy. For their sake, it is not difficult for me to do it for you.
Alas, it’s a pity that the kind and honest Fifth Madam was forced to death by you, you are like this... Huh!" After he finished speaking, he left the account.
Mrs. Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was not afraid of death. After being captured, she had no hope of survival. But at this moment, she realized that some things were much more terrifying than death. Although He Ran did not show any tricks in the end, but from his
His scrupulous attitude showed that there was nothing he dared not do. She would rather be cut to pieces than fall into the hands of this villain. At this moment, she couldn't help but have feelings for the two daughter-in-laws who were interceding for her.
With a trace of gratitude, she was really afraid of the devil who had no regard for morality.
Huang Jing went over to untie the frightened Sanniang, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will make things difficult for you." Then she picked up Wuniang's body and walked out.
