Chapter 286 Matricide
"Death" is a very scary word.

Ji Xueyao had seen other people die before, and she had killed people herself, but she never expected that this would happen to her so soon.

But if she was afraid, she actually didn't have much fear.

With Ji Chenxing's example in front of her, Ji Xueyao always felt that even if she died, she could still come back to life like Ji Chenxing, and could also follow Ji Chenxing's path and become the princess of Daliang.

Thinking of this, "death" is no longer cold and unfamiliar, but instead has a more desirable romantic color.

Ji Xueyao's entire body was wrapped in the hope of death, as if she was about to embark on a spring outing rather than a painful death.

Compared with the young girl in her prime, Shen Ruyan's thoughts are completely different. She is more rational and more realistic.

"Xueyao, do you know how many people die in this prison every day? But do you see any of them survive like Ji Chenxing?"

Seeing Ji Xueyao's condition, Shen Ruyan burst into tears out of fear and reluctance. No one can bear to watch their own child leave this world in front of them.

"But mother, what if? What if I can survive like Ji Chenxing, then I will have a way to rescue you, right? I have suffered enough in this prison, I can't stay here for another day."

As Ji Xueyao spoke, she also felt very aggrieved, and the tears in her eyes dripped down like beads from a broken string.

Just a few months ago, she was the second daughter of the general's mansion, but now she has fallen to this state.

Shen Ruyan hugged Ji Xueyao with heartache. She had also been through Ji Xueyao's age, and she could understand Ji Xueyao's feelings very well.

They were all little girls of fifteen or sixteen years old. Who would be willing to sleep in the same house with dark bugs and mice and live in fear every day?

But she still wanted to persuade Ji Xueyao, "Be patient, maybe there will be a turn for the better. If you die and don't come back to life like Ji Chenxing, then there will be no hope, right?"

Ji Xueyao raised her head from Shen Ruyan's embrace, "My uncle is gone, and my father and Minghan have become Ji Chenxing's people. Even if we wait any longer, we will only end up dead.

"And mother, you also said that so many people die in this prison every day, but no one can survive like Ji Chenxing. Is it because the way they die is wrong?

"I was the one who killed Ji Chenxing. Mother, tell me, is it true that only those I killed can come back to life?"

Ji Xueyao looked crazy.

Shen Ruyan was silent. Who could be sure of such a thing? There had never been such an effect since ancient times!
But what Ji Xueyao said was not wrong. If they could really be reborn by being killed by Ji Xueyao, wouldn't they be able to rise to great heights?

At that time, Ji Chenxing would not only not be able to blame Ji Xueyao for killing her, but would also have to thank Ji Xueyao for giving her the chance to be reborn!

At that time, they will definitely live a thousand times better than they do now.

Of course, even if Ji Zunxing wanted to recognize them as mother and daughter again, they would not agree.

Shen Ruyan was immersed in a beautiful dream and unknowingly found a golden hairpin in her bag.

One end of the hairpin was very sharp, as if it had been specially polished before being sent in.

It only takes a little thought to know that this was specially prepared by Ji Minghan for the two of them.

Ji Xueyao soon understood what was going on. She grabbed the hairpin excitedly and her voice became much faster.

"It seems that Minghan has also thought of this, so he gave us that booklet to remind us, and gave us the clothes made of white silk and the golden hairpin to help us regain our new life!"

Ji Xueyao was very happy, and her eyes were full of expectations when she looked at Shen Ruyan. It seemed that everything was ready, and only Shen Ruyan's words "I agree" were left.

But Shen Ruyan still couldn't say such words.

Fantasy is just fantasy after all, and she couldn't just watch her daughter die for such an uncertain thing.

And what if, what if they can be saved before death comes?
Seeing Shen Ruyan's disapproving expression, Ji Xueyao became a little anxious.

"Mother, look at us now. We have no way to survive. We can only fight hard! If we succeed, when I come back, I will definitely take you to live a life a thousand times better than Ji Chenxing's. For the humiliation we have suffered, Ji Chenxing will pay it back a hundred times!"

Shen Ruyan sighed. She certainly knew the benefits that Ji Xueyao mentioned, but she still couldn't bear to let Ji Xueyao do such a risky thing.

As a mother, she would rather experience such a dangerous thing herself than let Ji Xueyao take any risk.

Shen Ruyan shook her head and was about to snatch the golden hairpin back from Ji Xueyao's hand.

Ji Minghan usually has a smart mind. I don’t know why he acted so stupidly at this moment. By sending these things in, isn’t he harming his own sister?
But Ji Xueyao held the hairpin in her arms as if she were protecting her own life.

"Mother, think about it, what can we achieve even if we go out like this?! I can't marry His Highness, and I can only be an ant on the ground for the rest of my life. I don't want that!"

When she said this, a mouse just jumped out from the corner, and crawled over Ji Xueyao's feet in confusion, scaring her so much that she screamed and almost broke her throat.

Ji Xueyao's screams made the prisoners around her unhappy. They threw dirty stones and smelly buns at her, cursing her. Ji Xueyao felt even more wronged, and kept muttering, "Ji Chenxing stole my things. I want to take back what belongs to me, take it back!"

Ji Xueyao became more and more excited as she spoke. The golden hairpin rubbed her clothes and spots of blood gradually appeared around her waist.

Shen Ruyan was terrified and was about to snatch it, but was anticipated by Ji Xueyao.

Ji Xueyao turned her hand and pointed the golden hairpin towards her neck.

"Mother, if you don't agree, your daughter will die here today."

Delicious food, tall houses, handsome men, and fiery power, she wanted everything that Ji Chenxing had.

No matter how bright the future was, Ji Xueyao was already a little dizzy.

Seeing Ji Xueyao like this, Shen Ruyan couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes.

"Xueyao, I have an idea." Shen Ruyan's voice trembled a little, "If you are not sure whether you can survive, how about letting your mother explore the way for you?"

Ji Xueyao showed a confused expression.

Shen Ruyan wiped her tears and said, "Don't you know that she was able to come back to life because you killed Ji Chenxing? Then you might as well kill me first. If I can come back to life, I will definitely come to you and help you get rid of Ji Chenxing."

Dying is a very dangerous thing, Shen Ruyan thought Ji Xueyao would hesitate.

But Ji Xueyao didn't. She thought for a moment and felt that this plan was feasible, so she excitedly put down the gold hairpin in her hand and looked at Shen Ruyan with great surprise in her eyes.

She was just thinking about how to replicate Ji Chenxing's death, and like a pillow when she was dozing off, Shen Ruyan's suggestion appeared in her ears.

Ji Xueyao approached Shen Ruyan little by little from a distance, "Mother, don't worry, I am 90% sure that you will die exactly like Ji Chenxing."

In Ji Xueyao's opinion, as long as she died exactly like Ji Chenxing, she would be able to live again like Ji Chenxing.

She held the golden hairpin in her hand, and seemed unable to bear the urge to send Shen Ruyan to another world. As for the risk of death, Ji Xueyao no longer considered it.

"Mother, please bear with it for a while. It will only hurt for a while, and it will heal soon."

Ji Xueyao had a sinister expression on her face, as if she had seen Shen Ruyan and herself reborn, and then pulled Ji Chenxing down from the altar.

Looking at Ji Xueyao in front of her, Shen Ruyan felt a little frightened; the current Ji Xueyao seemed to be completely different from the Ji Xueyao who first killed Ji Chenxing.

Shen Ruyan looked at her daughter whom she had brought up. She originally wanted to ask, "What if she can't survive? Will you be alone?" But as soon as she opened her mouth and before she could make a sound, the golden hairpin in Ji Xueyao's hand pierced into her chest.

Shen Ruyan did not expect that Ji Xueyao would attack her so efficiently.

No matter what, there was a possibility that she would never come back. It was very likely that this was the last time the two of them would see each other.

The pain made Shen Ruyan forget what she was about to say for a moment. Her mouth opened and closed, and finally she stammered, "Take care of yourself," and then she was completely out of strength.

It was not until Shen Ruyan fell straight onto the hay on the prison floor that Ji Xueyao seemed to come back to her senses.

The warm blood from Shen Ruyan's chest splashed on her face. She withdrew her hand in a daze, with some fear in her eyes.

This is her mother, the mother she relies on and loves the most, and also her last support in this world.

But now, she killed her with her own hands.

But it doesn’t matter, maybe in a few days, my mother will come back, Ji Xueyao comforted herself and began to imagine a beautiful future.

Shen Ruyan saw Ji Xueyao's fear. She moved her lips again, wanting to comfort her with a "Don't be afraid, Yao'er." But in the end, she fell silent as Ji Xueyao's gaze gradually became greedy and pitying.

When killing Ji Chenxing, Shen Ruyan prepared the sharpest dagger for Ji Xueyao. The dagger pierced into his chest for only a few seconds before Ji Chenxing died in a gushing blood.

But this time, the package Ji Minghan sent to Shen Ruyan contained only a polished gold hairpin. Even if it pierced the heart, it would take a long time for the person to die.

In order to make Shen Ruyan die as soon as possible, Ji Xueyao tried hard to pull out the hairpin from Shen Ruyan's chest.

As Ji Xueyao's fingers swirl with sweet and greasy taste, blood gushed out from Shen Ruyan's chest, as if the mother-daughter love between them was being drained away from her body.

The discomfort caused by blood loss made Shen Ruyan quickly lose her strength. In her dying moments, she felt as if she still had a lot to say to Ji Xueyao.

How to choose a good husband, how to win the husband's heart, the etiquette of marriage, how to take care of yourself before and after giving birth...

She has so much of the future yet to witness.

But I couldn't speak anymore.
