She shuddered. She had been working for her grandfather’s safety in the Guangping Imperial residence. Now, Su Qiao was telling her that the Su family’s eldest son had already died. She could not accept this outcome.

“How can that be? Grandpa is dead, but his second son is still alive. His second son is supporting the Su family, thus we should let his grandfather rest in peace on the road to the underworld.”

Su Qiao’s words made Su Yan spit out a mouthful of blood. It was incredible that Su Qiao was able to say such shameless words.

“Aiya, this is just the beginning. Why is sister spitting out blood?” Su Qiao bent down and looked at Su Yan with a mocking gaze, “There are many things that you don’t know. Ling Yu and I have been together for a long time. Do you think that Ling Yu had no choice but to break off the engagement with you back then? Don’t you think that this letter of collusion with the enemy and betraying the country can not be obtained by us alone?”

.

“It’s... Gu Lingyu?” Su Yan spat out the remaining blood in her mouth and said the answer that she already had in her heart.

“It seems that sister isn’t too stupid, including today’s matter. Do you think that Ling Yu really doesn’t know anything? He’s been thinking about how to get rid of you every day so that he can obtain the military power of the King of Guangping!”

As soon as Su Qiao said that, Su Yan felt her vision go black. What kind of life had she been living these past ten years? She didn’t know people clearly and was played around like a fool by them.

In her heart, the uncles and aunts who had loved her since she was young, the cousin whom she had grown up with, and the fiancé whom she had always liked since she was young were all fake. She had never seen it clearly before.

She hated, hated these people, and hated herself even more!

But now, she could do nothing.

“Oh, right, I remember that sister likes Ling Yu so much because he saved you when you were young, right?”

Su Yan did not know why Su Qiao mentioned this at this time. She had previously treated Su Qiao as her closest sister, so naturally, she had told her about this.

“Actually, Ling Yu is not your savior. The one who really saved you is the king of Guangping. In that case, your marriage to the King of Guangping has fulfilled your wish.”

“Su Qiao, you have done all kinds of bad things. You will be punished. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you off!”

Su Yan’s gaze shocked Su Qiao so much that he took a step back. When he came back to his senses, all that was left was anger. He picked up a dirty piece of cloth that he did not know what it was used for and stuffed it into Su Yan’s mouth.

“You don’t have to worry about me. You should just enjoy your retribution now.”

Su Qiao did not care about Su Yan’s words. After blocking Su Yan’s mouth that made her unhappy, he called for the servants to execute Su Yan.

Seeing the members of the Gu family, Su Qiao returned to the dejected and sorrowful look he had before.

“Sister did not listen to the advice and even said some heinous words. In order to spread the news, it was not good for the Gu family’s reputation, so I had no choice but to shut her mouth.”

“It’s okay. This is not your fault. She deserves it. Qiao Qiao, you are just too kind.” Gu Lingyu comforted Su Qiao by the side, not hiding his disgust for Su Yan at all.

Su Qiao glanced at Su Yan smugly. ‘look, I’ve taken everything from you. Your identity as the eldest daughter of the Su family and your fiancé are all mine.’.

Su Yan trembled violently. If it weren’t for the rope tied to her body, the servants wouldn’t have been able to hold her down.

The servants who received the order began to execute her. The rod hit Su Yan’s body, but Su Yan didn’t seem to feel it. She only used her eyes to glare at Su Qiao and Gu Lingyu fiercely.

As the rod hit her back, blood flowed out of Su Yan’s eyes, mouth, and nose. It was a terrible sight, and it was a little scary to look at.

“Disgusting!” No one knew who said this, but Gu Lingyu ordered the servants to hit her harder and finish her off quickly. Then, he left with the Gu family.

Su Yan could not speak or move. She could only watch as her enemy walk away unpunished, the grief in her heart is so unbearable that it felt worse than the rod that was going to kill her from behind.

Su Yan’s eyes were bloodshot. She looked like a malicious spirit. The two executioners also felt a little nervous, especially now that there were only the three of them in the entire courtyard.

The two of them looked at each other and increased the strength in their hands, wanting to end this punishment as soon as possible.
