In the dimmed prison, it was hard to see the light of day unless one was dragged out to work.
Xia Yayun had found the culprit who had caused her trouble. How could she let her go so easily? In front of Young Lady Dong, she was almost like a lunatic. Whenever she found an opportunity, she would return every bit of humiliation she had suffered.
In the prison cell, screams of pain could be heard almost every day.
Sometimes, when they were in the heat of a fight, the two of them would wrestle, and they would grab each other.
On the Dong family’s side, just as the prison guard had said, they had spent some money to dredge up the situation. When they behead her later in the autumn, they would put a cloth over her head. If she died in the prison, they would also have to trouble the prison guard to collect the corpse for them.
Whoever said this meant that they did not care when this person died.
In the end, Dong Xiyun did not manage to survive until the day of the execution.
A few days before the execution, she was strangled by Xia Yayun. She did not manage to catch her breath and died.
After she died, she became a ghoul. She thought that she could seek revenge on Xie Qiao, Master Mo, and those who had harmed her. However, almost instantly, her soul was gone.
It was the criminal division.
Countless people have died here, there was more evil than her resentful spirit, but because of the official pressure, her resentful spirit was of little use.
However, it did not stop the spirits from eating each other.
They fought when they were alive, and they fought when they were dead. Ghouls with no obsession run fast. They could escape trouble as they would run away in a blink of an eye.
As for the others, even if their souls remained, they would not be able to escape from this place. In the end, they were most likely muddleheaded and did not even know who they were. They did not know when they had turned into a turbid energy, and did not even have a form. They were like a void.
…
Dong Xiyun had become a taboo in the Royal Academy.
On the day of the verdict, everyone in the Royal Academy, regardless of gender, was stunned.
Who did not know the number one talent in the capital, Dong Xiyun?
She was kind, noble, dignified, and full of talent. When the engagement with the Fourth Prince was broken off, there were many people who felt sorry for her secretly. It was only when they heard that her mind was sick that they thought it was a pity instead.
Unexpectedly…
They thought she was a beauty, but it turned out that she was a vicious person.
Poor Second Young Lady Dong. She was so innocent, but she died so tragically.
The Peony Courtyard’s majesty was reduced significantly.
It was the same for Qi Huai. He immediately fell ill when he got home after running away from seeing Dong Xiyun the other day. He had not been able to go out until now, and he was too ashamed to go out.
In this complicated atmosphere, the Royal Academy ushered in the big examination.
“Junior brother, your eldest sister is the hot candidate for the women’s academy’s champion in this big examination…” Chu Jian was very puzzled.
This kid used to brag about his eldest sister.
He always said that she was good-looking.
He did not mention her recently, and he was very diligent in his studies. He mentioned Xie Qiao several times, but Xie Pinghuai got angry before he could finish his sentence. It was strange!
In fact… Xie Qiao did not expect that she could hide it from Xie Pinghuai for so long.
She thought it would only be a few days, but she did not expect this kid to be so obedient recently. He did not talk to others or wander around. He stayed at Teacher Xiao’s place to study, or he would go home to practice martial arts. He did not have a chance to find out the truth!
“What did you say just now?” Xie Pinghuai frowned. “Are you done?! You know that my eldest sister is gone, yet you still say these words. Are you really looking for a beating?!”
Xie Pinghuai thought he was being very understanding.
His eldest sister told him to learn to be obedient, so he did not fight to avoid beating up his senior brother. His eldest sister would find out in the afterlife and feel uncomfortable.
However, Chu Jian was shameless. Too much!
“No… Why are you screaming at me? What did you say just now? Your eldest sister?! Why don’t I understand what you’re saying?!” Chu Jian was confused and baffled..
