The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Boom!

It sounded like thunder again.

Pei Jingzhi swayed and almost fell, but Wang Ming, a chivalrous man, gave him a signal and had someone help him up.

However, Wang Ming himself wasn't much better off.

He swayed slightly, almost thinking he had misheard.

If his investigation is correct, Pei Jingzhi has three children, and these are the three people in front of him.

Although Pei Jingzhi was always busy with the various important matters entrusted to him by Empress Xiao Mingzhao and neglected the discipline of his children, his love for his children was no less than that of any other father.

Judging from what he just did, he was clearly looking for death.

In fact, if one could just take a closer look, one would know that Pei Jingzhi did this to abandon him, to uphold his principles, and to protect his family.

but……

The three children he tried so hard to protect were not his own!

"That's just too tragic!"

Wang Ming muttered to himself.

Ren Tianye shared the same idea.

I've seen plenty of demons and monsters, but someone as miserable as Lao Pei is truly rare.

However, Ren Tianye remained indifferent, even letting out a cold laugh, and said to Liu Shi, "You're just spouting nonsense. You'll make up anything to get away with this."

"You can argue that your son isn't Pei Jingzhi's, but to say that your two daughters aren't Pei Jingzhi's is just fooling us."

"Who doesn't know that you are Pei Jingzhi's wife? And whose two daughters are they if not Pei Jingzhi's?"

Upon hearing this question, Pei Jingzhi's gaze became even more urgent.

That's actually what he wanted to ask.

Although I had a vague idea of ​​the answer, I still wanted to know.

Unfortunately, the shock he had just received left him swaying precariously, unable to speak. He managed to utter a few syllables, but they were all indistinct.

Now, finally someone has asked on his behalf.

Liu Shi clearly didn't want to continue, after all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. However, Ren Tianye pressed her for answers, and her two daughters were looking at her expectantly, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and say, "The two daughters are indeed not Pei Jingzhi's."

"It's because Pei Jingzhi is busy with military and national affairs and is never home. I had no choice but to have a child with someone else."

"Confess!"

Now it was Wang Ming's turn to speak: "The Duke asked how you would prove that these two daughters are not Pei Jingzhi's daughters, but you only gave vague answers and tried to gloss over the matter?"

"snort!"

"If you can't explain the details today, if you can't make things clear..."

"Today, both of these daughters must be executed along with Pei Jingzhi by the Duke!"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Demon Suppression Envoy Su Jin, Commander of the Heartbreak Division Xie Changfeng, and many of the personal guards who had followed him, as well as Ren Tianye, couldn't help but secretly give Wang Ming a thumbs up in their hearts.

Yes, that's right...

How can we let this slide?

We absolutely must get to the bottom of this!

With everyone eager for a good show and not afraid of things getting out of hand, they all displayed a fierce aura, like mountains, surrounding and pressuring Liu Shi.

Liu's body was trembling.

The two daughters couldn't stay calm any longer and started to speak up.

"Mother, please tell me! We have no relation to Pei Jingzhi, do we? We have no relation to Pei Jingzhi at all. Look, we don't resemble him at all."

"Mother, please tell the officials that Pei Jingzhi is not worthy of our bloodline, he is not worthy of being our father."

……

Forced into this situation, Lady Liu had no other choice.

He had no choice but to tell the truth, saying, "I, I, I have eighteen substitutes for my white moonlight. These two daughters were born to them."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Ming blurted out.

"Take, take away the young?"

"Eighteen is just one, not many at all. Why is this general making such a fuss?" The eldest daughter quickly added, then asked Madam Liu, "Mother, please tell these adults which of the eighteen stand-ins it is?"

"Whose children are we, the children of the eighteen stand-ins?"

Liu shook her head.

The second daughter grew anxious: "Mother, things have come to this point, why are you still hesitating? This concerns my sister's and my lives, please tell me!"

"No," said Madam Liu. "I really don't know who your father is."

"There were so many people at that time, and they all looked exactly alike. Even they themselves had to mistake one for the other, so how could I possibly remember them?"

"so……"

Madam Liu looked at her two daughters and said, "You were born to your mother and those eighteen substitutes, but whose children you are, not even your mother or those eighteen substitutes know."

"You can just pretend you have eighteen fathers!"

The two daughters breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter who your father is, or how many fathers you have.

The important thing isn't Pei Jingzhi's biological daughter; that's how she can survive.

Their faces lit up with joy, and they all looked at Ren Tianye.

"Lord Duke, my sister and I have nothing to do with Pei Jingzhi anymore. Can you release us now?"

"That's right, Your Excellency, you can't go back on your word."

Ren Tianye smiled slightly and said, "I always keep my word. Since you have no connection with Pei Jingzhi, I will release you after I send someone to investigate."

The two women's faces lit up with joy. Ren Tianye then said, "However, although you are not Pei Jingzhi's daughters, you are Liu's daughters."

"Pei Jingzhi's crime warrants the extermination of his entire clan."

"You are Liu's daughters, and Liu is Pei Jingzhi's wife. So, if you are considered Liu's side, you are also targets of extermination."

The three children, who had just felt lucky to have escaped, all turned pale.

Liu's expression changed instantly, and she cried out, "Lord Duke, you can't kill me! I... I have nothing to do with Pei Jingzhi anymore!"

"I never loved Pei Jingzhi. I only became her wife because she looked like my beloved who died in battle."

"Later, he got older and older, and he became more and more like an old man. He was getting further and further away from the image of my ideal woman, so I found eighteen substitutes for my ideal woman."

"I no longer have feelings for him."

"Besides..."

Madam Liu took out the divorce agreement written by Pei Jingzhi and said, "Now, Pei Jingzhi and I are divorced. From now on, Pei Jingzhi is Pei Jingzhi, I am me, the Pei family is the Pei family, and the Liu family of Hedong is the Liu family of Hedong. We have no relation whatsoever."

The three children also shouted in unison.

"Yes, yes, Pei Jingzhi and my mother have divorced. From now on, we only have a mother and no father."

"No, we sisters have eighteen fathers, but none of them are Pei Jingzhi. Pei Jingzhi is no longer worthy to be our father, and he has no relation to our mother. If there is no relation, then he cannot kill us."

"My lord, you can't just kill innocent people indiscriminately, can you?"

……

Ren Tianye glanced at the emaciated Pei Jingzhi before finally smiling and saying, "How could I possibly kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

"Since you have no relation to Pei Jingzhi, then I will exterminate Pei Jingzhi's three clans, and that will have nothing to do with you."

"Su Jin!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"The matter between me and Pei Jingzhi has nothing to do with the Liu family and their ilk. As the Deputy Demon Suppression Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division, do you understand?"

"Understood."

"That's good."

Ren Tianye nodded.

Su Jin is clever.

Without saying a word, one can understand his intentions.

He waved his hand, ordering his personal guards to clear the road so that Liu and her entourage could leave freely. However, he did not stop them; someone else did.

Pei Jingzhi!

Pei Jingzhi was emaciated, like a dying man, but his eyes were bloodshot and his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. He couldn't utter a single word, only angrily shouting "Hehehe..."

Looks like a vengeful ghost!

Liu was startled, but then said tenderly, "Jingzhi, I know that although I no longer love you, you still love me."

"For my sake, for the sake of the child, please endure this hardship. Don't blame me when we're in the underworld, okay?"

"I will always keep a place for you in my heart."

Pei Jingzhi's face turned from pale to blood red. He gestured angrily, his exaggerated movements somewhat comical, but he couldn't utter a word.

Wang Ming couldn't bear to see it, so he suddenly reached out and patted him on the back.

This palm strike was quite skillful.

This demonstrated Wang Ming's strength as a veteran border general to the fullest extent, causing Pei Jingzhi to suddenly spit out a mouthful of phlegm without even harming him.

Liu was unable to dodge in time, and a little stain was left on her dress.

He subconsciously showed disgust.

Before she could make a move, Pei Jingzhi grabbed her by the neck and screamed hysterically like a madman, "You...you, you've kept this from me for so long."

"Aren't the three children I raised with all my heart and soul my own flesh and blood?"

Pei Jingzhi wasn't asking for the answer, as he already knew it; nor was he asking for the attitude, as he already understood it; and he wasn't asking for the reasons, as the reasons were no longer important.

He questioned Liu like a madman, yet it was also as if he were questioning himself.

Ask yourself what wrong things you did in your life?

Why did it end up like this?

Was he wrong to be loyal to the emperor and love his country?

Was it wrong for him to be considerate of his subordinates?

Was it wrong of him to open his heart to a woman?

Was it wrong of him to dedicate half his life to raising his children?

What exactly went wrong?

What exactly did he do wrong?

That's why his sincere heart ended up in this state.

With the help of her three children, Liu struggled free, and a hint of anger appeared on her face.

"Jingzhi, does it really matter whether the child is yours or not?"

"Is it really that hard to let go of a mere blood relation?"

"Can't you stop being so petty?"

Immediately, Liu looked aggrieved: "I gave birth to three children and suffered so much, but all you care about is whether they are yours or not."

"You don't care about me at all!"

In the end, I bore the burden alone.

"Men, they're all the same, not a single one of them is any good!"
