The Blessed

"Master Xuan, I have made it clear. The little childe of Wang family said Wang Yunya took the little childe from her mom, and Lady Zhang also saw that she carried the little childe into the backyard, but since everyone was eating food, Lady Zhang didn’t feel strange. But soon she came back holding the child. And then about ten minutes later, the little masters rushed back in.”

After knowing who Chu Yunhan was, the whole family collapsed onto the ground, and Chu Yunhan did not let them get up, apparently trying to psych them out first. And Lin Yun whom Ling Jingxuan sent out secretly also came in now and told everyone about what she had found. The old couple of Wang Family nearly passed out on spot. Who would expect that this thing not only got Lady Han involved, even Wang Yunya was part of this. What did they do to deserve this? Why they had such a bad granddaughter? The one she kidnapped was the prince! Judging from the empress’ attitude, anyone who got related to this matter couldn’t exempt from death!

"No, I don't know, not me, it’s not me..."

Wang Yunya on the ground suddenly sharply shouted, tears full of her face, she was scared, she was really scared this time…

But now, no one showed her sympathy again, before, thinking that she was still young, they thought that it was Lady Han who taught her to do those bad things. But now, she even committed kidnapping crime. So only being young wasn’t an excuse for her now. Only fourteen years old, and she could do such a thing! What if after she became an adult?

Since everyone turned a blind eye, even Wang Jingui and his two sons lowered their heads like suffering a big blow. And after taking a look at her trembling daughter there, Lady Han crawled ahead crying, “My Empress, please show mercy! This has nothing to do with my daughter! It’s all me! Yunya only assisted me without knowing the whole thing. My Empress, please give her a chance. I’m begging you…”

With her crying, it was her kowtowing. Soon, Lady Han who had already gotten a bloody nose and a swollen face already got blood all over her face. But Chu Yunhan only wore an ice-cold face. A bloody scene of this degree was no use to him at all. Even her death couldn’t make up to the crime she had committed. Kidnapping the prince! If he claimed responsibility to the end, let alone her, even all her family within three generations couldn’t survive!

“Too late, Lady Han. If you told the truth from beginning, maybe I would consider giving you a chance for the sake of Old Lord Wang, but now…”

Sitting on the stool, Chu Yunhan gracefully took up a teacup, and cast a glance at her. He didn’t finish his words, but that was even scarier than finishing them. Lady Han who got blood all over the face fell to the ground. Even Wang Yunya was scared enough that she even forgot to pled for her mother. Maybe afraid that they were not scared enough, Zeng Shaoqing beside said blandly, “According to the laws, anyone who insults the imperial family, the lightest penalty is being beheaded, the severest penalty is beheading the whole family. And for the severest case, the lawbringer would ask for instructions to implicate the nine generations of the criminal. Am I right, Lord Hu?”

"Yes, yes, yes, what Lord Liu said is absolutely right.”

Since you already said so, how dare I say no? Hu Lizhi nodded tremblingly. And people of Wang family all got their shit scared out of their pants. Everyone turned to throw their dagger eyes at that pair of mother and daughter. She committed a crime herself but got all of them involved.

"My Empress, please…"

Old Lord Wang turned to look at Chu Yunhan but soon lowered his head with fear. The current Chu Yunhan was already looking unlike his usual cold appearance. That dreadful feeling all over his body made one hard to breathe. And Ling Jingxuan, the only one Chu Yunhan would listen to, just showed an ‘it has nothing to do with me’ look. And Lady Wang and her sister already got stoned there as early as when they knew who they were, and still hadn’t come back to their senses till now.

Casting a faint glance at Ling Jingxuan, after exchanging an eye contact with him, Chu Yunhan put down the cup slowly and said, “Don’t be afraid, Old Lord Wang. As long as Qi is all right, I promise I won’t hold you for responsibility. But if something happens to him, things wouldn’t be in my control. After all Lady Han is the daughter-in-law of your family and Wang Yunya is your granddaughter. I hope you’d understand what I am trying to say.”

Anyone with a brain could tell. Chu Yunhan was offering to a solution to them. After all, Old Lord Wang had lived for so long, how could he not get it?

Closing his eyes and giving a light sigh, Old Lord Wang abruptly opened his eyes, “Jingui, repudiate her and throw Wang Yunya out of the family!”

For the lives of the whole Wang family, he had no choice but to make such a decision. Otherwise…he was old, he couldn’t afford it.

"Dad?"

Wang Jingui frowned, but then instantly lowered his eyes and said feebly, "Yes."

Repudiating his wife wasn’t a thing, but Wang Yunya was his daughter after all! Looking at his father’s face that nearly turned ten years’ older like in an instant, Wang Jingui decisively accepted it. This time, they had made such a huge mistake. It was not something he could control.

"No, grandpa, dad, I don't want to die, grandma, save me, I know I was wrong, I’m begging you, don't give up on me, grandpa..."

Hearing that, Wang Yunya threw herself at them, crying. But however hard she begged, the old lord and others just looked indifferent and dare not say a word for her. They were all scared. All in all, they were only a common village family, while the other side was the noble imperial family! They could only blame their stupidness to have offended someone they shouldn’t!

"You can't be so cruel, Jingui, Jingui, it doesn't matter if you repudiate me, but Yunya is your daughter, Jingui…"

Crying, Lady Han pulled her husband's trouser legs. Wang Jingui, who had always been displeased with her, did not show a trace of disgust, but said bitterly, "But the other three are also our sons. If I don’t do this, the whole Wang family would all get killed!”

Yes, it was his only choice.

"No..."

Lady Han passed out on spot. Wang Yunya took a looked her family who had made up their mind to give up on her, his fear disappeared miraculously, then replaced by hatred. That pair of vicious eyes slowly turned to look at Ling Jingxuan, while she pointed at him and sulked, “It’s all because of you, Ling Jingxuan! If you didn’t ruin my marriage with my second cousin Jinghan, if you didn’t badmouth me before my aunt, how would they ditch me? It’s all your fault! Ling Jingxuan, I’ll kill you!”

Speaking of which, before everyone could react, Wang Yunye already rushed at him like crazy!

"Ouch..."
