Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Shen Zhaoning did not meet her death; instead, she was met with her maternal grandfather's long sword.

Xing Ji's head fell like a rattan ball, rolling on the ground.

Shen Yu protected Shen Zhaoning, preventing her from seeing the bloody and horrific scene.

In fact, Shen Zhaoning had seen many similar scenes.

She was no longer afraid.

Yet everyone still carefully protected her, trying their best to create a pure and safe environment for her.

With bloodshot eyes, Su Yuanqiao stomped on Xing Ji's head, wishing he could crush it.

"You hurt my daughter, and now you want to hurt my granddaughter!"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yuanqiao's cursing finally stopped.

He glanced at the mess on the ground and looked at Su Shaoqing with annoyance.

"Get someone to clean this up!"

"You can't even arrest someone properly! I've been brave my whole life, how did I end up with such an indecisive son like you!"

Knowing he was wrong, Su Shaoqing did not argue and silently cleaned up the surroundings.

There was nothing on the ground except for bloodstains.

Shen Zhaoning stared blankly at the blood-stained ground.

The murderer who killed his mother, is he really dead?

The pain of her mother's death, though brief, felt like an eternity to her.

Day and night, every moment, the image of him appeared before her eyes.

She has not yet escaped the nightmare.

But the murderer died like this?

Shen Zhaoning looked at the bloodstains on the ground, feeling empty and lost.

Shen Yu gently patted her shoulder.

"It's a good thing he's dead; we should be happy."

"Grandmother said that she had already sent people to search for Grandfather's remains, and once Father's remains are found, they will be buried with Mother."

"Tuantuan, it's time for us to go see them."

Finding remains sounds simple, but it's actually very difficult.

The Shen family was a clan of disgraced officials, and everyone was worried about being implicated.

No one dared to collect his remains.

Therefore, the remains of the Shen family members could only be thrown into a mass grave and left to rot in the wilderness.

Even setting aside the fact that the body was already decomposed and unrecognizable, the vultures in the sky and the wild dogs on the ground had already destroyed the remains after the body was dragged into the wild.

Finding the remains of the Shen family members is virtually impossible.

In the mass grave, towering trees grow tall and dense, blocking out the sunlight.

Despite it being a bright and sunny day, the mass grave was dark and gloomy.

Hua Zhuyue and her team searched relentlessly.

Before my eyes were ugly and horrifying corpses, and the air was thick with the stench of decay.

The servants covered their mouths and noses, suppressing their nausea, as they searched through the mass grave.

Some people couldn't help but urge Hua Zhu Yue.

"Madam, this place is filthy, and your health is frail; you cannot stay here for long."

"This person has been dead for almost a year, and now all that's left is a skeleton. Maybe even the bones have been carried away by hyenas, so there's no way to find them. And even if you do find them, they won't look good."

"Why not build a cenotaph? That way you can preserve your dignity and avoid getting sick."

Hua Zhuyue, however, was terrifyingly stubborn.

"No, I must find them."

"I must bring them home."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Hua Zhuyue, the man went to persuade others, but after trying to persuade them all, he still didn't succeed. So he turned his attention to Zhu Jingxian.

Zhu Jingxian seems to have the best temper; she appears to be weak-willed and indecisive.

"Fourth Madam, these remains are not easy to find. Why not build a cenotaph? It would save trouble and..."

Zhu Jingxian's tone was gentle, yet exceptionally firm.

"I must find a husband."

"must."

Even if everyone else gives up, I will find him.

Her family was poor.

She was not favored at home.

They do the most work, yet are the least liked.

It was Fourth Master who took pity on her and secretly helped her, teaching her to read and write.

Knowing that she enjoys cooking, he didn't find her uncouth at all.

Instead, they found her a recipe.

Everyone laughed at her for being presumptuous and delusional, daring to covet someone like the Fourth Master.

Even she herself felt that the Fourth Prince would not like her; at most, he would bring her into the mansion as a concubine.

Unexpectedly, the Fourth Prince disregarded public opinion and welcomed her into his mansion, making her his official wife.

Fourth Master always thought of her, protected her, and stood up for her.

To her, Fourth Master was an elder brother, a teacher, and, more importantly, a lover.

How could she allow the gentle and refined Fourth Master to lie in such a dark and filthy place?

Zhu Jingxian turned over one skeleton after another, trying to find the characteristics of the Fourth Master from these bones.

Most of the skeletons here have similar skeletal shapes.

She could hardly tell the difference.

Zhu Jingxian couldn't accept it; how could she not even recognize her own lover?

She numbly turned over the bones, her heart sinking deeper and deeper.

Her expression changed from expectation to numbness, and gradually she began to despair.

But she still didn't give up.

Nothing in the outside world could affect her anymore; all she could see were the skeletons.

In that year, the tyrannical emperor killed countless people.

The bones piled up into a small mountain.

She tirelessly moved the bones.

Even Hua Zhuyue noticed her unusual behavior.

Hua Zhuyue wiped the sweat from her face and looked at Qin Su.

Go and see Jingxian.

Qin Su stepped forward.

"Sister-in-law, you must be exhausted. Why don't you take a rest?"

Zhu Jingxian seemed not to hear, and continued to rummage through the bones as if possessed.

Qin Su's expression changed slightly.

"My fourth sister-in-law is probably having a nightmare."

Hua Zhuyue sighed.

"Knock her out and take her back to the manor."

Qin Su knocked Zhu Jingxian unconscious with a single chop to the neck.

Looking at Zhu Jingxian lying peacefully asleep on the bed, Hua Zhuyue sighed.

"I originally thought that since the fourth son's wife was the last to enter the household and had only been married for half a year, her relationship with the fourth son must not be very deep."

"I never expected... her reaction was the most unexpected of all."

"When the incident happened, Lao Si had written a divorce agreement. She and Lao Si had no children, and she only needed to take the divorce agreement to go home and remarry. But she refused and insisted on being exiled with us."

Zhu Jingxian's physical condition wasn't much better than Wan Zhenzhen's.

But she never complained of any hardship along the way.

They worked tirelessly to prepare meals and take care of everyone.

They did a lot of work, but their presence was barely felt.

Unexpectedly, she had the strongest reaction.

Flowers fall like tears as the moon sheds its last.

"A perfectly loving couple, if it weren't for the tyrannical ruler, they would surely have lived happily ever after."

Qin Su lowered her head.

The men of the Shen family are all loyal and righteous.

If a woman could marry into the Shen family, she would be the envy of all the women in the city.

If it weren't for that foolish emperor's decree, she should be living a happy and harmonious life with her husband now.

Zhu Jingxian lay on the bed, her consciousness fading.

She felt herself traveling through a vast white fog, returning to the mass grave once again.

Ghostly figures floated in the mass grave.

Upon seeing her arrive, the ghostly figures excitedly approached, uttering low, muttering murmurs.

"Finally, a scapegoat has arrived."

"Such tender skin and flesh, it must taste delicious."
