Yang Wingjun was thirty-four years old this year. He had been with Mu YingRui for twelve years, but he didn’t have a wife.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to start a family, but Mu YingRui didn’t let him get married. “You can’t start a family or have children. Otherwise, you’ll have other concerns and won’t be able to wholeheartedly protect me and work for me.”
He was thirty-four years old, but he didn’t even have a son. There were three filial impieties and not having a descendant was the worse. How was he going to meet his parents in the underworld? So, when he had been with Wang Yiping, he had changed from like, carnal desire, ***, and then finally love.
But now, the woman he loved told him that she treated him only like a tool she used. Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous!
For a period of time, he had pitied Mu YingRui for having good looks, power, and status, but he didn’t have what a guard like him had. He didn’t expect that he and Mu YingRui ended up in the same situation.
He betrayed his master today. Even if Mu YingRui didn’t kill him, Old General Mu and Zi You wouldn’t let him off.
The laughable thing was that he thought he had broken into Hundred Herb Garden, but someone actually let him in. The purpose was to let him see Wang Yiping’s true nature.
He saw it clearly and his heart was dead now! Yang Qingjun raised his palm and pressed it over his head. He used up all of his strength and slammed down.
A “bang” sounded and red and white brain matter sprayed all over Wang Yiping and Mu YingRui
They screamed in fear, but Yang Qingjun had already collapsed. His head was shattered. His eyes were wide open and he died with grievances!
Mu YingRui was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He covered his head and ran out regardless of everything. He spun around like a housefly as he ran out of Hundred Herb Garden.
Zi You’s words kept echoing in his ears. “You are destined to be utterly isolated by everyone. You are destined to be isolated by everyone……”
As such, Mu YingRui couldn’t attend Zi You’s wedding. On December 21, three days before Zi You’s wedding, he was dismissed from his post for courruption and bribery of higher-ranked officials. He was sentenced to exile in Nanjiang and was never allowed to return to the capital again.
The sad thing was that from his imprisonment to his exile, only Shui Yiniang came to see him out of all of his concubines. She didn’t go to express her heartfelt feelings, but she went there to scold and hit him. “You b*stard! You’re not even as good as an animal! Hui’er was your son. Your son! How could you do it? Ah! You’ll die a horrible death. I curse you to die a horrible death!”
Second Yiniang and Fourth Yiniang had children. Zi You gave them each 2,000 silvers. She told them, “Father is like this right now. If you’re willing to follow him in exile, I won’t stop you. If you’re not willing, take this money. Oh, you can also take the things in your rooms. Go seek out a new life. Remember! Don’t be someone else’s concubine. Find a man who will treat you wholeheartedly and raise your children well.”
The two happily packed up their things and left. The furnishings in their rooms, the money they had saved over the years, and the money Xiaojie gave to them were enough for them to live a good life.
After Third Yiniang received the money, she didn’t hesitate at all and discussed with Second Yiniang and Fourth Yiniang about opening an embroidery shop together.
But Shui YouLian insisted on staying. “Xiaojie, my life is yours. It’s better without Laoye now. Let me be your servant. Please don’t drive me away……”
