471. Chapter 471: What on earth are you thinking, marrying a wife and never coming home?

With their confessions and the evidence they provided.

Now.

Feng An Nuan can't escape.

The Shuntian Prefecture magistrate directly sentenced her to be executed after autumn.

Why is it execution after autumn?

First, it's related to the Five Elements; in autumn, the Five Elements belong to metal, which governs punishment and killing. Second, spring and summer are busy farming seasons, winter is cold, so executions were carried out in autumn. Third, officials are usually busy, so in autumn the yamen is less hectic. Fourth, because ancient transportation was inconvenient, such major cases had to be submitted for approval.

This is indeed the Imperial Capital, but it's not something you just submit and have the emperor handle immediately.

Feng An Nuan never imagined she would be sentenced to execution after autumn, and she was unwilling to die like that.

When her parents came to visit her.

Feng An Nuan tightly grasped their hands: "Dad, Mom, I don't want to die like this, please help me, please help me…"

"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

Feng An Nuan's father sighed.

Her mother replied: "Don't worry, don't worry, Mom won't let you die like this."

"Keep your voice down."

Feng An Nuan's father hurriedly looked around, made sure no one else was there, and then relaxed.

After leaving the Shuntian Prefecture, Feng An Nuan's mother separated from her father; she had originally wanted to go find Ouyang Yuefeng, but after thinking, she decided to first go find Qiao Sheng.

Shi Residence.

Xie Yin heard that Feng An Nuan's mother had come, and had someone bring her to the courtyard where she lived.

Feng An Nuan's mother had already guessed this would happen, so upon seeing Xie Yin she wasn't surprised at all, and she knelt down with a thud: "Sister Xie, please, please help Nuan Nuan. She, she only did this on a whim."

How dare she come to ask her for help!

Xie Yin replied with a cold face.

"A momentary lapse—do you even believe your own words? If Feng An Nuan had only done one bad thing, I might believe her, but how many has she done? You tell me!"

Feng An Nuan's mother heard Xie Yin say that.

She slowly stood up.

"All you know is to blame Nuan Nuan, but you never considered that all this started because of your family's Shi Lin. If she hadn't liked him, her unrequited love wouldn't have driven her to this point!"

And now you're blaming her son too!

Xie Yin, who always covers for her own, how could she tolerate this?

"If you say that, your Nuan Nuan likes our Shi Lin, does he like her in return? Now I finally understand why he doesn't like Feng An Nuan—it's because you're such a clueless mother. Your daughter takes after you!"

"You!"

Feng An Nuan's mother was so angered by Xie Yin that she didn't know what to say.

"Fu An, see the guest out!"

Xie Yin directly had them expelled.

Feng An Nuan's mother left their house in a huff, and after thinking, she still took a carriage to find Ouyang Yuefeng.

Ouyang Yuefeng bluntly said: "Shi Lin could gather evidence to charge Feng An Nuan with a crime—do you think he wouldn't guard against our move? I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Yuefeng, if you don't help Nuan Nuan, she's done. She's still so young…"

Feng An Nuan's mother cried, tears streaking her face.

Looking at her face, which resembled Feng An Nuan's to some extent.

Ouyang Yuefeng couldn't help but picture Feng An Nuan's tear-streaked face; he felt inexplicably choked up, wanting to help yet reluctant, and unsure if he could succeed.

He neither promised nor refused Feng An Nuan's mother.

After Feng An Nuan's mother left.

Ouyang Yuefeng had just fallen silent, preparing to go out to talk with Qiao Sheng, when his mother Feng Xi came up and slapped him on the back.

"What on earth are you thinking, marrying a wife and never coming home!"
