Listening to her daughter's heartfelt words, the pregnant Lady Hou went on a killing spree.

[Mom, did you hear that? That scumbag is screaming so pitifully, he's probably about to be scared out of his wits. Auntie's been holding her grudge for a while now.]

"Madam, the ice on Yingyue Lake usually melts by now, why is it like this this year?"

Ji Yueru knew the truth, of course, but she couldn't tell the maids.

"Let's go, let's go to the east side of the lake."

After the last visit, the lady ordered people to burn paper money. They came to the east of Yingyue Lake, and several maids followed without asking any questions.

The carriage circled the lake once before finally stopping on the eastern shore of Yingyue Lake.

Several maids touched their arms and felt that the ground was much colder than other places.

Zhiyi quickly draped the cloak over the lady's shoulders, and even the little princess was wrapped in a fur blanket.

"Mom, I see my aunt. Come a little closer so I can say hello to her."

Ji Yueru listened to An An and walked forward a little until she reached the shore. If she walked any further, she would reach the lake.

"Alright, Mother, that's enough for now."

Where Ji Yue Ru and the others couldn't see, An An could see Ji Qian Qian standing beside her, dressed in white.

Ji Qianqian's appearance has changed drastically. Her protruding belly has disappeared, and she is holding a babbling baby in her arms, who does resemble An'an somewhat.

Auntie, did you give birth to your little brother? My mom gave birth to me too!

Look at me closely, do I look like I did in my past life?

At this moment, Ji Qianqian's eyes flashed with a few ruthless glints when she looked at the scumbag's frozen soul under the ice in the lake; otherwise, she always appeared gentle and demure.

Her eyes, when looking at An'an, also held a touch of maternal love.

"An'an, please thank your mother for me."

Ji Qianqian understood that Gao Jin's death was sudden, and without Ji Yueru's help, Gao Jin could not have been beheaded so quickly.

Auntie, you've misunderstood. My mother and I really didn't help you much. Before we could even deal with Gao Jin, the emperor discovered he was selling exam questions privately.

Ji Qianqian smiled but didn't say anything more.

[By the way, Auntie, all the wealth that that scumbag took from you was given to me and Mom by the Emperor. Is there anything you want to do?]

An'an's words reminded Ji Qianqian of the days before she came to the capital. Although she didn't earn much money back then, she was happy.

Since coming to the capital, she has earned more money, but she is not as happy as before.

"There is a village called Jijiacun, about 100 miles east of Beijing. That is my hometown. The only thing I am worried about is my adoptive mother. If possible, I hope you can bring her to Beijing to live out her retirement."

"Just buy her a small courtyard, some money, and two maids to serve her. Then, check on her from time to time to see if she's doing well."

On her deathbed, Ji Qianqian's biggest worry was her adoptive mother, who had raised her for over ten years. As for anything else, there was nothing else she couldn't let go of.

No problem, it's nothing.

An'an's voice carried a hint of disappointment.

Auntie, are you leaving?

"Yes, Auntie is leaving now. From now on, An'an must be a good girl and listen to her mother."

At the bottom of Reflecting Moon Lake, Gao Jin's soul let out his last howl before disappearing completely from the world.

As Gao Jin's soul disappeared, the ice on Yingyue Lake, which had been frozen for several months, slowly melted from the central painted boat towards both sides of the lake.

On the ice not far from the shore, several children who were playing saw this scene and turned around and ran desperately towards the shore, afraid that if they were too slow, they would fall into the water.

In a place unseen by the world, a dark doorway appeared in An'an and Ji Qianqian's eyes, and Ox-Head and Horse-Face emerged from it.

The two ghosts walked up to An'an and bowed to her.

[My two brothers, it's been a long time.]

The two ghosts' expressions were stiff; they just wanted to never see the little ghost in front of them again.

Fortunately, she was reborn as a human in this life, so the underworld can be peaceful for a hundred years or so. The King of Hell gave her a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years, which is the highest human lifespan.

If someone else sends a little devil to the underworld, the entire underworld will probably grind that person to dust.

Horse-faced demon swung out his chains to bind Ji Qianqian's soul and pulled her into the doorway.

As soon as they went inside, the doorway disappeared in front of An'an.

"Mommy, Auntie is gone. I'll never see her again."

"You should be happy for your aunt. She won't be trapped by hatred in the east of Yingyue Lake anymore. Going to the underworld will be a relief for her."

"Mother, you're wrong. Aunt killed Gao Jin's soul. Even if Gao Jin deserved to die, Aunt will still be punished in the underworld."

"But as far as I know, your aunt did a lot of good deeds during her lifetime. Considering her good deeds and bad ones, she shouldn't face much punishment, right?"

An'an counted on her little fingers, but the maids beside her didn't know and just thought the little princess was playing with her fingers.

"Mother, you're right. Her good deeds and bad deeds cancel each other out. My aunt only needs to stay in the underworld for twenty years before she can be reincarnated as a human."

An'an, who was just feeling sad, is now happy again. Twenty years doesn't seem like a long time to An'an. There are still many fun things to do in the underworld, much more fun than in the human world.

Ji Yueru naturally had no idea what An'an was thinking.

"Let's go, we should head back."

The maids didn't understand why the lady had only stood at the east side of Yingyue Lake for a while before leaving. Although they were puzzled, they didn't ask any further questions.

The carriage traveled along the main street of the Marquis's residence, where people came and went and the noise was constant.

Knowing that An'an loves to join in the fun, Ji Yueru had someone lift one side of the car window curtain so that An'an could see the street scene outside more clearly.

The little guy was flailing his arms and legs, feeling incredibly happy, completely forgetting the sadness he felt when saying goodbye to his aunt earlier.

"Whoa!"

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Chunhua immediately knelt on the carriage to protect the lady and An'an, whom she was holding.

Once the carriage came to a stop and she was certain that neither the lady nor the little princess was injured, Zhiyi angrily yanked open the front curtain and berated the coachman outside.

"How could you drive such a carriage? Didn't you know the lady and the little princess were inside!"

The coachman also looked dissatisfied.

"Miss Zhiyi, it's really not my fault. The young lady and young master suddenly rushed out from the side, so I quickly pulled the reins."

Zhiyi looked towards the carriage and saw Lin Tianci and Lin Wanwan standing hand in hand in front of it.

With the carriage curtain lifted, the two could naturally see Ji Yueru sitting inside and the child she was holding.

The two men, filled with resentment, knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Mother, please save Father! Everyone in the capital knows that the Emperor values ​​you and the little sister you're holding in your arms."

If you plead with the Emperor, he will definitely release your father.

Mother, I beg you.

After Lin Tianci finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground, and Lin Wanwan, who was standing next to him, followed suit.

The two of them harbored deep hatred.

Thinking that when they grow up, they must trample Ji Yueru and her daughter underfoot to avenge their humiliation today.
