stern wife

Chapter 2 Wedge ②: Heartbreaking pain
Pei Xiaoran struggled desperately, trying to stop him, but was firmly bound by the heavy chains on the thick wooden frame, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as his relatives were pushed down by those strong men without mercy. ground, roughly cut their arms behind their backs.

But none of the little devils in Pei's family cried out in pain. They all gritted their teeth and looked in the direction of the woman with concern in their eyes.

"However," the pure and beautiful woman suddenly said, she tried her best to hold her head up, looking in the direction where Pei Xiaoran was, looking at the sixth younger sister who was covered with scars, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Sister-in-law believes that you have not colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, so don't bow your head and plead guilty for us, in fact—" She took a deep breath, thought of something, and slowly burst into a smile that made the world pale, and said:
"I have long wanted to go down to accompany your eldest brother, but I feel sorry for these children..."

"No——" Pei Xiaoran's heart ached like twists and turns. She was tortured for three days, but she didn't cry out in pain, nor shed a single tear, but at this moment, she was crying like rain!

After the men of the Pei family died in battle one by one, the Pei family was fully supported by the elder sister-in-law.

The elder brother died early, the elder sister-in-law was stunningly beautiful, and there were a lot of rich and powerful families waiting to marry. She could have married someone else, and lived a life of carefree love, prosperity and wealth.

But she didn't!

She just guarded her elder brother's tablet, and ignored the words of others who laughed at her for being stupid.

It was also because of her perseverance that the Pei family didn't fall down and the monkeys scattered, and they have been strong until now.

This is her sister-in-law, the sister-in-law she can never let down no matter what!
Pei Xiaoran's lower lip was bitten and bleeding, she opened her mouth with difficulty, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the woman loudly:
"However! The members of our Pei family, even if we die! We must die openly and innocently, and we must never succumb to the threat of villains!"

Pei Xiaoran's heart was full of bitterness, why didn't she know, and why didn't she want to die innocently and aboveboard?

but……

The criminal officer who was blatantly ridiculed as a villain sneered three times, and glanced at the woman who hindered him from completing the task. Even though he was resentful towards her words, he couldn't help but "tsk", and sighed regretfully :
"It's rare that there is such a refined beauty in the world, what a pity...to be executed!"

"No! Sister-in-law! Don't touch her! I admit it! I admit everything!"

"But! Shut up!"

Pei Xiaoran watched the executioner's men pick out the red-hot copper bucket from the charcoal fire, and walked towards her sister-in-law, his mind went blank for a moment, and he shouted incoherently:

"It's me! Those letters were all written by me! I was the one who had evil intentions, communicated with the prince of the enemy country, and wanted to seek power and seize the throne! I am a sinner! I am a traitor! I... I deserve to die!"

The words are not finished, the heart is broken.

Thinking that she has held military power for many years, and she has never felt the slightest rebellious heart. For that person, for that person's country, and for the people of Suzaku, as a woman, she has been stationed and fought in the bitter cold frontier for many years. In the end, He actually wanted to destroy his meritorious deeds with his own mouth!
Sad, deplorable, ridiculous!

But she doesn't regret it, because her family is more important than those false names!

"However!" The beautiful woman burst into tears, she knew how much pain and sadness her sixth sister must have felt when she said these words.

"Auntie is not a traitor!" The oldest-looking one among the suppressed brats cried out, loudly:

"Auntie is a hero! She is a hero among women! She is a hero who does not give way to women!"

"Yes! Auntie is a hero! Auntie will always be a hero in our hearts!" The other little devils also followed suit.

The judge frowned when he heard this, and sternly said: "Shut up! If you keep making noise, I'll cut you off!"

The little ghosts were fearless and said in unison: "You cut it!"

The criminal officer was so enraged that he was half dead, and finally suppressed his anger, ignored them, turned his head and said to Pei Xiaoran:

"If I'm not mistaken, did your empress admit her crime just now?"

"Auntie, don't admit it!"

"Auntie is not guilty! It is you villains who are guilty!"

The judge was distraught when he heard this, and suddenly he snatched the copper bucket from the hands of the subordinates beside him, grabbed the hand of one of the little devils, and pressed it hard on the hot copper bucket!
The little ghost snorted, but he didn't cry out, but big cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly, and his little face turned pale!

But the criminal officer smiled viciously and happily: "Call, if you have the guts, call me again!"

How delicate are children's hands, how can they withstand such torture?In an instant, that little hand became bloody and bloody, with broken tendons and scorched skin, shaped like a ghost's claw, and a scorched stench permeated the entire torture chamber.

Pei Xiaoran's eyes were tearing apart!
She pleaded guilty to all those trumped-up charges!Why are these people still hurting them!why!
Out of nowhere, Pei Xiaoran broke an iron chain with a burst of divine power, and rushed towards the executioner regardless of his care!

The judge was so frightened by this sudden change that he fell to the ground and shouted loudly while backing away:

"Catch her! Catch her for me!"

He is so afraid because he has done too many bad things. In fact, Pei Xiaoran, who has been tortured for three full days, only has enough strength left for this one, and the rest is unsustainable. Completely escape the chains that bound her.

She tried very hard to extend her hand, but she could neither kill the villain who hurt her family nor save her family!

She had saved so many Li people in the frontier who were invaded by the enemy army. When she was in trouble, why didn't anyone come to rescue her family!
The criminal officer howled in fear for a while, but found that the expected culling did not come, so he dared to open his eyes.

The woman hanging on the cross wooden frame seemed to have her spine removed, hanging down limply, like a residual leaf in the autumn wind, which would go away with the wind in the next moment.

The criminal officer breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that he was frightened like that just now, and was seen by so many subordinates. He couldn't hold back his face. In order to save face, he stood up, walked in front of Pei Xiaoran, and slapped his hands Slapped her!

"Traitor! How dare you try to escape? The crime will be added!"

Pei Xiaoran lowered his head, instead of refuting as he did a few days ago, he remained silent, as if tacitly acquiescing.

Only then was the criminal officer satisfied, and he waved his hand to make people detain the little devils who were staring fiercely at him together with the stunning beauty, and they offered them pen and ink, while he came to Pei Xiaoran with a confession letter, and said proudly:

"Your Majesty, now, you should plead guilty, right?"
