After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

The scene shifts again, and amidst the flames, Wei Zhaoning screams, "Cough cough... Help..."

"Miss! Miss! Don't worry about me, I'm fine..."

The woodshed of the Marquis's residence caught fire.

But everyone was waiting outside.

"Burn her alive! She's ungrateful! She used to boss us around because of her family's power; I've wanted this revenge for a long time!"

In her dream, Lu Jieshuang screamed, her face gradually contorting.

Lu Zhufeng watched coldly and ordered his servants in a deep voice, "Splash some water on the surrounding houses, so that the houses outside the woodshed don't catch fire."

Wei Jiaruo emerged from the firelight at some point, crying, "My lord, are you really going to treat my sister like this... Although my sister has treated me badly, and has treated everyone in the manor badly, she is still a living, breathing person..."

Lu Zhufeng pulled her into his arms. "Are you stupid?"

"If she doesn't die, you will lose your status. She has been beating and scolding you like this since you were a child, and you still speak up for her?"

"Sigh, you're just too soft-hearted."

"Sister-in-law, don't feel pressured. She's used to doing bad things, and it's not just you who's affected."

"Look at what Wei Zhaoning has done to us brothers and sisters! If she continues to control us, I'd rather die!" Lu Ze said softly.

"Alright, everyone, say less. Just say it was a fire and the Lady of the Marquis died. Don't let the neighbors hear that there are people in this house. They might say that our Marquis's family didn't help in her time of need. That wouldn't sound good."

Lu Jieyue looked at the firelight, her eyes completely unmoved.

The old lady said directly, "It's suffocating. Send someone to let me know after you've finished burning it. I'm too old to stand this smell. I'm going back to rest now."

The family was cold-blooded and bloodthirsty; those burned to death seemed not to be living people, but rather insignificant roof beams.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jieshuang felt uneasy. After thinking for a while, she immediately rushed into the fire.

The flames relentlessly corroded her skin; at that moment, she felt as if she were not dreaming.

With a scream, she woke up abruptly from her dream, gasping for breath.

When I opened my eyes, all I saw were cold, hard walls and dark, sunless cells.

Lu Jieshuang's heart was truly pierced.

As dawn approached, she couldn't help but panic.

Why, why didn't Wei Zhaoning come to save her?!

Thinking back on that dream, was it really a dream?

If it really was a dream, why would the second brother choose to open a spice shop?

Everything felt so real, as if it had actually happened.

She couldn't quite describe how she felt. It was as if a faint sense of guilt had been awakened deep within her.

She couldn't accept it, nor did she want to admit that she was wrong.

Then she thought of Wei Jiaruo.

In her past life, Wei Jiaruo and her brother faked their deaths and eloped; she had no right to interfere in these matters.

But this life is completely different. Wei Jiaruo was successfully brought into the Marquis's mansion by her brother, and Wei Zhaoning did not utter a single complaint. He even gave her the power to manage the household.

She recalled the first time she was discovered having an affair with Li Changming, when Wei Jiaruo told her, "The one who isn't loved is the mistress; if you like someone, you should fight tooth and nail for them."

But Wei Zhaoning said, "Don't become someone's mistress; it won't end well."

Wei Jiaruo's voice rang in my ears again, "This outfit is for you; no man can resist it."

"Do as I say, and whatever you do, don't feed them all at once."

"The reason why Lord Li refuses to meet with you is because the princess is pregnant. Although he did something wrong to the princess, people are conflicted. He also feels that what he did was not right, so he abandoned you to take care of the pregnant princess."

"Once the princess loses her child, the two will inevitably develop a rift. At that point, do you think Lord Li won't come looking for you?"

These words echoed in her ears, and she felt like her head was about to explode.

It turns out that Wei Jiaruo was the one who was mean to everyone.

Wei Zhaoning, on the other hand, seemed somewhat innocent.

She was filled with regret. She suddenly remembered that, whether it was a dream or a past life, Wei Zhaoning had advised her...

This realization sent chills down her spine. What had she done...?

"Hey, still not asleep? Still dreaming someone's coming to rescue you?"

"Save your breath. In a few more hours, it will all be over. The people in your dilapidated manor are probably sleeping soundly right now, and no one will care about you."

The beast who had come during the day yawned, perhaps out of guilt or something else, and said the following to Lu Jieshuang.

Lu Jieshuang's expression was complicated. Suddenly, she beckoned with her finger and took off half of her clothes, her eyes shining with an astonishing light.

"Hey buddy, wanna have some more fun?"

*

It was almost noon, and the people of the Marquis's mansion got up with grim faces, dressed themselves neatly, and prepared to go to the execution ground.

I had to go see this little girl one last time.

They kept saying how regrettable it was, but they still did it as if it were a human life.

What can be done? Jia Ruo is at least pregnant, so this is Lu Jie Shuang's fate.

In any case, nothing more can happen to the Marquis's residence.

Wei Zhaoning and Shen Shu went together. They couldn't possibly miss the fact that the culprit who killed Shen Shu's child had been brought to justice.

The execution ground was already in an uproar. It had been several years since anyone had been beheaded in public like this, and many people had gotten up early to wait for such a spectacle.

Lu Jieshuang was tied to a cross, looking listless, and her clothes were tattered.

Lu Zhufeng turned his head away, finding it difficult to face his younger sister who had been sacrificed for the sake of the family's interests.

"It's noon! Execution!"

The woman on the shelf didn't react at all.

"Ningning, don't you think something's strange?"

Shen Shu frowned slightly.

Wei Zhaoning nodded. "You seem to have gained some weight?"

Before they could investigate further, the head fell to the ground.

With screams from the Hou family members, the verdict came to an end.

Lu Jieyue fainted and was quickly carried away. Everyone was shocked and disoriented.

But none of them dared to look at Lu Jieshuang's head lying alone on the ground.

Wei Zhaoning didn't have time to investigate further; seeing that pale face, she ultimately couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

A young life went astray, a single wrong decision.

Who can escape the wrath of Heaven? Everyone is the same, manipulated by the heavens.

For example, in her past life, she met a tragic end due to a series of unfortunate events. And Lu Jieshuang, by a series of unfortunate events, received the punishment she deserved and did not have the chance to survive like she did in her past life.

As night fell, a gust of wind carried Lu Jieshuang's remains into the distance, as if they had never been left behind.

At this moment, in the pitch black, a girl dressed in black and wearing a hat hurriedly ran towards another road.
