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

Hu Shaoyou still hasn't woken up.

Hu Shaoyou's parents were extremely worried.

They all jumped out to stop them.

"Don't hit my son! Don't hit him! It will hurt him!"

"You hit him so hard, it hurts him."

Su Jin's crying stopped abruptly.

He looked at Hu Shaoyou's parents.

His expression was peculiar.

His eyes held deep contempt and disgust.

His face showed only bewilderment and deep sympathy.

He said, "Hu Shaoyou is already a dead man. How can a dead man feel pain?"

Hu Shaoyou's parents fell silent instantly.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly.

He quickly tried to cover it up, saying, "He, he's not in pain, he's not in pain. We were just saying that in our panic. But, but please don't desecrate his body like this."

"That's right, didn't our daughter-in-law say that she would give us the money, she would compensate us, tenfold, a hundredfold? If you have any grievances, go after our daughter-in-law, don't go after our son's corpse!"

Even Gu Qing managed to stop Su Jin.

"Lord Su Jin, thank you for your sympathy, but Shao You is dead, and there's no point in pursuing the matter further. He..."

"You haven't wronged me!"

Upon hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Oh dear, Gu Qing is such a clever person. If only she could join their Demon Suppression Division, what wouldn't she be able to see through after a period of training?

Unfortunately, this man was clearly someone the Duke would use for great things, so he said, "Sister, it seems you and Hu Shaoyou have a very good relationship?"

"Yes, we've always had a great relationship."

Gu Qing answered mechanically, but after finishing, she suddenly paused, looking somewhat confused, but quickly became resolute.

Who was Su Jin? She immediately knew there was more to the story and asked, "Is it really that good?"

"Didn't you two have any arguments?"

"That makes my sister so envious."

"There have been arguments, too..." Gu Qing said, "but most of them are very minor and pass quickly. It's just that... last time, the argument was a bit more intense."

"Last time?"

Gu Qing didn't know why Su Jin could have such a strong curiosity, especially at a time like this. But she knew that if she could please Su Jin, she might be able to get the Duke to agree.

She then said, "Some time ago, my husband met a woman from somewhere and wanted to marry her and take her as a concubine."

"At first, I wasn't willing."

"My parents died early, and my relatives and friends scattered. I was the only one left in the Gu family. Relying on the family property left by my ancestors, I married Shao You, who was penniless at the time. There was a promise before the marriage, and a written contract was drawn up."

"Shaoyou shall never take a concubine in his lifetime!"

"Of the children I have, I must choose a boy to carry on my family line."

"I cannot agree to Shaoyou breaking his oath."

"Later, I was driven to desperation and gradually relented. Just as I was about to agree, I discovered that the woman's background was unclear, and she couldn't explain herself at all!"

"I resolutely refused."

"This caused a huge conflict between Shaoyou and me, which even led to the point of considering a divorce."

"However, not long after, Shaoyou came to me and said that he had been bewitched by the demoness, realized his mistake, had given up on that woman, and reconciled with me."

"And they treat me even better than before, they cherish me even more!"

After hearing these words, Su Jin understood most of the situation.

Of course, Ren Tianye also discerned the underlying meaning.

He glanced at Hu Shaoyou, who was lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse, and thought to himself, "Wow, he's really good at enduring things." Then he said to Gu Qing, "I never expected that you would be such a magnanimous woman."

"A woman as good as you, how dare Hu Shaoyou want to take a concubine? A man who married into the family, how dare he have such delusions?"

"Even I can't stand it anymore."

As he spoke, Ren Tianye walked up to Hu Shaoyou's corpse and slammed his fist down hard on Hu Shaoyou's body. As the "crack" sound was heard, Ren Tianye cursed.

"Hu Shaoyou, you have such a good wife, why don't you cherish her?"

Another punch landed.

He continued, "You actually dare to have affairs with other women! That's outrageous!"

The third punch landed.

"I've seen a lot in my life, but I've never seen a man like this before!"

Ren Tianye knew exactly how heavy his fist was.

After all, the coffin was almost cracked open.

But Hu Shaoyou kept his eyes tightly closed, looking resolute and almost impossible to read, making Ren Tianye wonder if he had made a mistake.

Fortunately, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of Hu Shaoyou's mouth.

Ren Tianye calmed down.

With a sigh, he said, "If you weren't already dead, I would definitely seek justice for your wife. However, she loved you deeply after all, and now that you're gone, she will have to live a lonely life for the rest of her days."

"How can I possibly watch this?"

"Well then, since you're dead anyway, leave something for your wife so that the rest of her life can use it as a memento."

Immediately, Ren Tianye shouted.

"Wang Ming!"

"Never mind, Zhang Shi!"

Zhang Shichong rushed in: "Lord Duke, what business do you have with me?"

Ren Tianye said, "Leave something for this Madam Gu Qing so she can cherish the memory for the rest of her life."

"object?"

"Yes," Ren Tianye said, "the items that Hu Shaoyou could have left behind."

"Got it!" Zhang Shi chuckled and pulled a short knife from his waist.

When Hu Shaoyou's parents saw this, they turned pale with fright and rushed forward to stop him as if their lives depended on it.

"No, no, you can't treat my son like this! No matter what, he died on the battlefield. He shouldn't be subjected to such humiliation after death!"

"No, absolutely not! We can't do this to my son! He fought so hard to defend the city; how can we treat him like this after he dies?!"

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words. But as soon as he did, Zhang Shi was instantly filled with rage. Damn it, that son of a bitch Hu Shaoyou was guarding Yuancheng, but he was blocking Zhang Shi's way!

It made him run back and forth twice!

They even emptied out the Taicang, armory, and treasury.

饶？

What can we use to appease them?

So Zhang Shi exerted his strength.

With Zhang Shi exerting his strength, how could Hu Shaoyou's parents stop him?

……

"Snap!"

A cucumber fell.

As Wang Ming took the fruit, he muttered, "This Yuancheng actually has fruits like this. The Gu family must be rich, growing them right outside their gate."

As he spoke, Wang Ming glanced inside.

He's already started piling firewood outside, I wonder how things are going inside? Is everything settled yet?

He was getting really bored waiting.

But then things got interesting.

Heart-wrenching sounds came from inside the house.

"My son, my son..."

"My son, my son..."

Wang Ming frowned: "What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

Just as he was about to go inside to take a look, a fine horse galloped towards him. Wang Ming looked closely and saw that it was Lu Shuang.

"General Wang Ming!"

Lu Shuang dismounted and said, "Are the Duke and General Zhang Shi inside? I've found some information that I'd like to report to the Duke and General Zhang Shi."

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I'm here."

"You may go in!"

"Thank you, General Wang Ming!"
