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

Su Hong had already guessed when he arrived.

Since he's coming to Kyoto, he'll most likely have to meet Su Li.

However, I was still quite apprehensive when I entered the capital.

Having now revealed his true intentions to the Duke and been appointed by him, he felt much more at ease. Having drawn a clear line and cleared himself of suspicion, he was quite carefree.

However, when he saw Su Li with her cheeks puffed up in the backyard, his heart, which had just calmed down, jumped up again.

What I can't help but feel is heartache and... anger at their lack of ambition!

"Second, Second Uncle..."

"Don't call me Second Uncle, I don't have a niece named Bai Li!"

Su Hong spoke, his words as before, but his tone was no longer as fiery as it had been before. Instead, it carried a faint indifference, yet within that indifference lay a trace of warmth.

"I only have one niece named Su Li. She is my eldest brother's daughter and has been very well-behaved since she was little."

"I remember he was traveling with his family on the trade route in northern Xinjiang. That day, there was a heavy snow. She was born out of wedlock and received little care. She was dressed in thin clothes and was shivering from the cold."

"But she didn't cry or make a fuss."

"Stay quietly to the side."

"When she saw that I had found her, she looked up with a bright red smile and took out a bright red apple from her bosom and gave it to me."

She said, "Second Uncle, you eat."

"But I didn't take good care of this niece. I was busy with the Su family's business every day and didn't teach her carefully. I let her grow up unchecked, which eventually led her to make one mistake after another, almost causing a disaster."

"That's what I was thinking at the time."

"Once this is over, once it's all over, I will definitely protect this niece and make sure she no longer feels inferior because she was born to a concubine. But... she hanged herself."

"I'm sorry to her."

Su Hong spoke softer and softer, but Bai Li's tears flowed faster and faster.

Finally, Su Hong took a deep breath and said softly to Bai Li, "Miss Bai, although our Su family in Northern Xinjiang has no relation to you, you are about the same age as my deceased third niece. Seeing you always reminds me of her."

"I have a few words I'd like to say to you."

"Would you like to listen?"

Bai Li nodded.

Su Hongcai said, "I'm a few years older and have seen some storms, so I can't help but see things more clearly. The older I get, the more I realize that many things are actually not a big deal."

"As you live your life, the more you live, the more you need to simplify."

"Many of the obsessions we had in our youth turned out to be nothing more than unattainable dreams."

"Miss Bai, your current situation may seem bad, but it may not be. The Duke is a good man. As his concubine, you will have no shortage of wealth and honor for the rest of your life. Just live a peaceful and comfortable life in the Duke's mansion."

"You always manage to show the Duke the most authentic version of yourself."

"It will allow the Duke to see you in a new light."

"The future is actually something to look forward to."

"It's best to let the past, which has already caused so much damage, return to dust."

What do you think?

Bai Li did not respond to this, so Su Hong did not say anything more. He bowed slightly as if he were treating the wife of the Duke's mansion, and then turned and left.

Su Jin also gave Bai Li a deep look before leaving.

In the vast backyard, only Bai Li remained.

At that moment, her tears flowed like pearls from a broken string, uncontrollable. An overwhelming emptiness surged from her heart, and she felt that life had lost all meaning.

She endured countless hardships with sheer courage, all for the sake of avenging her loved one. She foresaw the beginning but not the end, and now she is imprisoned with no chance left.

This had already broken her heart, but what broke his heart even more was that despite all her efforts, the Su family still disrespected her, treating her wishes and dreams as child's playthings, carelessly discarding them, and using irrelevant excuses to fob her off, attempting to change her.

Let her become a loveless waste from now on.

But if she has no love, what's the point of living?

"yes!"

"I can't avenge my brother Ye Fan, and the Su family doesn't want me anymore. What's the point of me living?"

Su Li murmured, then looked up at the roof beam.

My mind is made up.

At this moment, Wang Ming rushed to the general's mansion and reported Lin Zixiao's matter to Ren Tianye.

Ren Tianye was naturally overjoyed.

Lin Zixiao's death saved him a lot of trouble.

However, this also added some uncertainty to his current plans.

"Without Lin Zixiao to keep them in check, how can we possibly subdue the Seven Heroes of Chifeng?"

"It seems we still have to rely on Su Li's influence over the left and right protectors of the Tongxin Alliance for the time being."

Just as Ren Tianye was making these plans, a scream came from outside the door.

"My lord, something terrible has happened!"

"The lady has hanged herself."

Ren Tianye suddenly stood up: "What?"

"Bai Li hanged herself?"

Damn, we were using her right now, and she hanged herself?

Ren Tianye hurried to the backyard, and when he arrived at Bai Li's bedroom, he kicked the door open. Sure enough, he saw Bai Li's slender and delicate body swaying under a white silk ribbon, and he immediately flew into a rage.

"Bai Li, no swinging inside the house!"

Immediately, he kicked Bai Li down!
