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

As soon as Madam Liu said this, the entire Pei residence fell silent.

Even Ren Tianye was stunned for a moment.

What does it mean to say, "I gave birth to three children and suffered so much, but all you care about is whether they are yours"?

No, is this logic correct?

Is this the correct logic?

The child no longer belongs to them, yet they still have to keep you locked up and make you suffer.

Su Jin, standing beside her, shook her head slightly.

In the first half of her life, she had racked her brains to marry a good husband who she could control, but she had never done anything so wicked.

She often regretted her past mistakes late at night, but now, when she saw this Liu Shi, she felt that she was nothing.

While everyone was stunned, Liu's three children suddenly jumped out. Feeling that they had seized the opportunity, they ruthlessly stabbed Pei Jingzhi with their knives again.

"That's right, my mother suffered so much, yet you only care about whether we are your flesh and blood. We... are also living, breathing human beings!"

"That's right, we've called you 'Dad' for so many years, yet you're so heartless and cold-blooded. You don't even deserve to be human."

"Mother, let's go. The Duke has already let it go, so there's no need for us to stay and suffer this filth."

……

The three of them pulled Liu away.

Liu reacted quickly; if she didn't leave now, when would she?

But Pei Jingzhi still stubbornly blocked the way.

Once again, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Wang Ming sighed helplessly and planned to strike again to help Pei Jingzhi clear his mind. However, Pei Jingzhi turned around and drew the knife from Wang Ming's waist!

The blade is sharp and piercing!

Even though Pei Jingzhi was just a civil official and did not know martial arts, the presence of a blade in his hand still gave him a more murderous aura, not to mention that he had drawn his sword in anger!

This has a very strong deterrent effect.

Liu and her three daughters trembled in fright and involuntarily backed away.

They retreated, and Pei Jingzhi stepped forward with his knife.

The blade remained ever-present.

Madam Liu was horrified, for she had already seen the murderous intent in Pei Jingzhi's eyes, and instinctively shouted, "Your Excellency, Pei Jingzhi is holding a knife and intends to do something wicked! You, you must stop him!"

Ren Tianye nodded and said, "Wang Ming, you're a deputy general, yet you can't even protect your own sword?"

Wang Ming quickly admitted his mistake: "Lord Duke, it was my fault. I will take back the sword right away."

Wang Ming shouted enthusiastically, but his subordinates didn't make a single move.

Ren Tianye urged Huan on, but his eyes were full of gossip, and his tone was calm and composed.

Seeing that there was no hope, Liu suddenly took a step forward.

This was unexpected, causing Pei Jingzhi to pause for a moment in surprise, even though his neck was right against the tip of Pei Jingzhi's knife.

Lady Liu then shouted, "Come on, Pei Jingzhi, kill me!"

"Let me know just how petty and narrow-minded you really are!"

"So what if your three children aren't yours? It's no big deal. I'll just apologize, what more do you want?"

"Can't you learn from the late emperor and have a little more magnanimity?"

"Even the late emperor took meticulous care of his daughter, who was not related to him by blood, and supported her ascension to the throne as the wise Empress. You keep saying you want to serve the court, how come..."

"Why don't they learn from the fine traditions of the late emperor!"

If the Pei residence was already silent just now, now the whole world has become silent. Everyone present was stunned by Liu's words.

Even Pei Jingzhi has become much more sober.

He held the knife in his hand, but was oblivious to it; all that was on his mind were the words Liu had said.

Empress Xiao Mingzhao was not the biological daughter of the late Emperor Xiao Jingyuan.

Xiao Jingyuan is not of the Xiao family bloodline?

Liu, however, didn't notice any of this; her face was full of grievance: "No matter what, I've been married to you for so many years, do you hate me that much?"

"You really want to kill me?"

"Putting all the blame on me?"

"Putting aside the facts, even if I'm wrong, aren't you completely without fault?"

As if speaking offhand, Liu continued, "Aren't these people surrounding us and pressuring me wrong?"

"Are all people in this world without fault?"

"Are people like Daniel Wu who read books in front of a screen not wrong?"

After Liu finished speaking, she felt much better. Seeing that everyone was stunned, including Pei Jingzhi, she immediately knew that this was the best opportunity.

He took his three children and walked out.

She walked very quickly, taking only a few steps to reach the inner courtyard gate. When she looked back, she found that Ren Tianye had not followed, and she felt even more relieved.

There isn't a single good man in this world.

Fortunately, she escaped today.

However, he suddenly saw a figure flash by and block his way.

He looked up and found it was a woman.

Her eyes held a natural allure, yet she dressed in a very masculine style, wearing a fitted outfit with a black base and dark gold trim, and a leather belt with a short knife engraved with the words "Sever Emotions" hanging from it.

There was also a traditional Chinese ink painting embroidered on her chest.

That ink painting is very special.

The calyx is like a blade, the petals like sharp points, and there is no pistil, giving it a sharp and aggressive appearance.

Liu immediately realized that these were people from the Demon Suppression Division.

After all, the news that the Demon Suppression Division had embroidered the Lotus of Broken Love on their chests had already spread.

The person who blocked their way was clearly Su Jin, the deputy demon-suppressing envoy of the Demon-Suppressing Division.

He couldn't help but say, "Sister Su Jin, why are you blocking my way?"

"Lord Duke, you've already told me to leave."

"His word is his bond; he can't go back on his word, can he?"

Su Jin coldly replied, "Given the Duke's status, his words naturally carry weight."

"Then why are you blocking my way? Perhaps you want to befriend me? That's perfect. Protector Bai even gave me other treasures. If you like them, I'll give you some later."

Su Jin didn't even bother with that, and said directly, "The Duke's affairs are no longer your concern, but your affairs are related to my Demon Suppression Division."

"Our Demon Suppression Division punishes those who are obsessed with love, severs their entanglements, suppresses inner demons, and safeguards the court. All those who abandon the court, abandon their families and country, disrupt ethics, and harm the common people for the sake of personal love are demons of love."

"The Demon Suppression Division, acting first and reporting later, is granted by imperial authority!"

These words were as cold as a knife, and as imposing as they were, immediately frightening Liu and her three children.

Startled, Pei Jingzhi, who was muttering to himself, suddenly turned his head, and a glint of light suddenly flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"Sister Su Jin..."

Liu forced a smile: "We are both women, why should women make things difficult for each other?"

"Please, please let me go!"

"I can let you go!" Su Jin said calmly, "Unfortunately, the Deputy Demon Suppression Envoy of the Demon Suppression Division cannot let you go!"

"You, and the three of you..."

Su Jin's gaze swept over Liu Shi and the other three, then she slowly said, "You have violated the taboo of the Demon Suppression Bureau. You will come with me to the Demon Suppression Bureau's Prison of Love and Sorrow!"
