Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 116 The dust has settled

"Jiang Yizhou, stop right there. Tell me, who are you?"

"She, she would never do this to me. She would never be so cruel to me..."

Jiang Yizhou left briskly without any hesitation or pause, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yes, she will never be ruthless to you. Even if she is trampled into the mud by you in the end, she has never thought of taking revenge on you.

She just couldn't understand why she loved you and the children so wholeheartedly, but ended up like that.

She couldn't understand why you acted so devoted to her if you never loved her from the beginning to the end.

It is because she cannot bear to be cruel to you that she allows you to act recklessly and succeed.

Isn't it her affection for you that you rely on?

She is not her, and she is still her. The only difference is that she will not have any emotional ties with such a man and such an evil son.

This reminded Jiang Yizhou of a saying passed down by his predecessors in his original world:

——Do you know why those who are bullied dare not seek revenge on those who bully them, but only resent those who show kindness to them? Because people, or all living things, are inherently bullying and afraid of the strong.

They cannot defeat those who bully them, but they can be sure that those who treat them well will not hurt them no matter what.

So you see, the people we rescued only grabbed and beat us, and yelled at us fiercely about how unfair it was...

... Ning Jianren stared at the direction where Jiang Yizhou left. That woman was so cold and heartless, so...

He shouted with his last bit of strength: "The one who attacked me that night and left me with that wound, was it you who did it? Was it you?"

no respond.

Of course, Jiang Yizhou’s perception is now far beyond that of ordinary people. When she heard this, she was just too lazy to pay attention.

It's a waste to say any more to such a person.

Ning Jianren was hit by the jailer and had to shrink back.

He began to sob.

I thought that if I said this, the other party would be angry, scold, and...

No matter how the other party reacted, he felt that he had achieved his goal.

However, the other party did not react at all, as if a complete stranger was listening to a strange story, and this person had no empathy or sympathy at all.

He finally knew why he had failed: the key to his success in everything he did in the Jiang family was her feelings for him.

And once she no longer has any feelings for him, what can his tricks do to shake her except touching her property? !

"Mother, why are you so cruel? I am your own son."

"Do you want the Jiang family to be extinct, mother—"

In the original owner's memory, calling her "mother" was very precious. She felt that every time she called her "mother", it was an insult to her.

Now you don’t mind having the surname Jiang?

Unfortunately, Jiang Yizhou doesn't care about this simple "blood" bond.

In other words, in her opinion, people's perceived strong blood ties are actually the most fragile and hypocritical relationships.

Blood ties are the best excuse for the weak to become vampires. They take it for granted to suck the blood of others and can do it without any guilt or gratitude.

Blood ties are shackles and cages that kind people cannot break free of. No matter how he (she) treats you, no matter whether he (she) has fulfilled his (her) responsibilities and obligations, he (she) is yours after all, so you cannot just give up.

But it’s different if it’s an ordinary person. If you give them the slightest benefit, they will be grateful.

If you don’t know how to be grateful, you can justifiably stop giving, or even ask for what you have been given back.

For ordinary people, if they want to get benefits from you, they will definitely be careful to please you and try to please you in every way.

Even if it's hypocritical, at least they've tried their best to show respect for your labor.

Jiang Yizhou let the cries of “Mother, mother, mother” echo in the dirty and cold prison.

The next day, Jiang Yian was pressed on the guillotine.

He tried to turn his head and search for the woman in the crowd.

He begged so hard, he was her only son...

There was an extremely resentful and angry light in his eyes, and he let out a desperate roar: "You don't have a mother like you. You, your damn Jiang family should be extinct..."

He stared at Jiang Yizhou, but the other party's face was calm and he just looked at him indifferently, as if he was looking at a piece of garbage.

Ning Jianren's spirit also completely collapsed. Until he was taken to the execution ground, he was still mumbling, "She is not her, she is not..."

No matter if it was a jailer or anyone else, whenever he passed by, he would repeat this sentence to them: "You have to believe me, she is really not her, she shouldn't be like that, she loves me, she would never do such a thing to me..."

There was a noisy discussion among the crowd.

Some say that this woman was really cruel: she pushed her husband and son to the guillotine. She is really like a wasp with a sting in its tail, and a woman's heart is the most poisonous.

Someone retorted: If the son-in-law did the same thing to a woman, her husband's family would have her paraded through the streets and drowned her. What is poisonous or not, seven grounds for divorce, beating or killing, aren't these all basic ways for husbands to deal with their wives?

Zhang Fu and the other two needed to supervise the execution and leave. Thinking of the words Ning Jianren repeated before his death, they frowned.

What does "She's not she?" mean?

It seems that this woman is crazy.

Yes, from the information we have investigated before, he is such a brilliant and handsome man with great talent and knowledge. It is said that Lord Jia, the former doctor of the Ministry of Works of Zezhou, wants to recruit him as his son-in-law. If he makes the right choice, he will have a bright future.

Unexpectedly, his original wife divorced him and even beheaded him.

Not to mention that he would be beheaded himself, but even his only son in this world would be beheaded along with him for killing another son.

Under such heavy blows, it would be strange if he didn't go crazy.

But there is no "golden ticket for mental illness" in this world. It doesn't matter whether you are crazy or not, whether you are really crazy or just pretending to be crazy. After the identification, you will be pressed directly on the stool.

The order fell, and the sharp sword drew a beautiful arc in the air.

The head rolled down, with eyes wide open, staring straight in one direction of the crowd, as if he died with his eyes open.

Jiang Yizhou's heart finally settled down completely only after both heads fell to the ground.

These two bastards who caused her family to be destroyed were sent to the guillotine.

At this point, she finally avenged the original owner.

She didn’t know if it was Jiang Yizhou’s illusion, but she felt that her whole body became relaxed, as if... an invisible big net on her body finally disappeared at this moment.

She only asked someone to collect Jiang Yian's body. Although he was a murderer, the relationship between mother and son was still there, so she was the only one who could collect the body.

As for Ning Jianren...

He has nothing to do with her anymore. If she has any relationship with him, he is her "ex-husband".

So, in the end, no one came to collect the body, and the government sent people to wrap it in a straw mat and throw it into a mass grave.
