Chapter 189: You Are Not Her Match

After crying for a while, Lin You Tian took out a bowl of white rice, a bowl of meat, a plate of vegetables, and a pot of wine from the basket he brought.

"Xiue, eat a few more bites quickly. Eat your fill so you can go on your way, okay?" he said while wiping his tears.

Lin Pozi couldn't eat at all.

Thinking that her head would fall to the ground soon, she was full of panic and fear, as well as attachment and reluctance to the world.

At this moment, she just wanted to see her daughter a few more times and say a few more words to her.

"I'm sorry, Shuang'er. It's all Mother's fault. Not only did I fail to help you, but I also harmed you." Lin Pozi's heart was simply aching to the point of being unable to breathe.

She could almost foresee her daughter's difficult situation. With a mother who was a murderer, let alone finding a husband in the future, even getting married would be difficult as no good family would want her.

Her daughter's life was completely ruined...

Lin Pozi sobbed uncontrollably.

But she didn't regret it. The only thing she regretted was that she hadn't planned more carefully, allowing that Du Shi to escape.

If it weren't for Du Shi, she would never have been exposed, and she wouldn't have ended up in this state.

"Shuang'er, remember, you are not a match for that Du Shi. In the future, stay far away from her and the Jiang family. Find an honest man to marry and live your own little life well. Don't keep thinking about Jiang Li, do you know?"

Lin Qingshuang nodded with red eyes and choked, "I know, Mother. Don't worry."

Lin You Tian sighed, took out a white flour bun from the bamboo basket, stood up, and walked to the executioner not far away.

He stuffed the bun and a string of money into the executioner's hand, "This is your hard-earned money. I'll have to trouble you later."

The executioner was very familiar with this process and took it without being polite, saying loudly, "Understood. I guarantee a one-cut death; she won't feel pain."

Lin You Tian wanted to say two more words, but suddenly heard a loud shout from the supervising official's platform.

"It is noon, execute immediately!"

Lin You Tian's face changed instantly.

Lin Qingshuang held her mother's hand and cried, refusing to let go.

Jiang Li gave a look, and two bailiffs immediately went over and dragged them to the side.

The executioner stepped forward and raised the ghost-head knife high.

Lin Pozi was so scared that her pupils dilated, and her whole body shook like chaff. Her tears kept flowing, but she still looked at her daughter without blinking.

Then she used her last breath and shouted, "Shuang'er, remember, be well! Don't avenge Mother! Shuang'er..."

"Behead!" The Magistrate threw the beheading token.

*Kacha*.

Cold light flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

Fresh blood sprayed from the neck like a tide.

"Mother!" Lin Qingshuang cried and fell to the ground.

Lin You Tian closed his eyes and turned his head, unable to bear looking.

The crowd of onlookers was silent at first, but after a while, a huge commotion suddenly erupted, and many people began to rush forward desperately.

"Dead, dead! Lü Xiue is finally dead!"

"What are you squeezing for? It's useless to squeeze; do you have money?"

"Get out of the way! It's mine, it's mine! No one is allowed to grab it from me!"

The waiter stood in front of Du Ruo like a pillar of the sea, pushing away the people who were squeezing over.

Du Ruo was confused.

What is this doing? What is yours and mine? Are they grabbing the corpse?

They wouldn't be that perverted, right?

She looked suspiciously toward Jiang Li.

Jiang Li waved his hand, and more than a dozen bailiffs flashed their horizontal knives. Wang Bujiu's voice was the loudest, "What are you doing? Behave yourselves! I'll see whose head is big; do you believe I'll use it to sharpen my knife?"

The restless crowd finally calmed down.

But their expectant eyes couldn't help but fall on the executioner.

The executioner kicked Lin Pozi's corpse over, then reached into his bosom, took out the white flour bun that Lin You Tian had given him earlier, and walked over to plug Lin Pozi's neck, which was still spraying blood.

The blood finally stopped.

Immediately after, the executioner carried the head toward the supervising platform, "My Lord, please verify the identity!"

The Magistrate nodded and picked up the vermilion pen to dot the head.

"Ah ah ah ah!" Ghostly screams sounded one after another below.

"One tael of silver! I'll pay one tael of silver!"

"Two taels!"

"Two!"

The executioner turned and stuffed the head to Lin You Tian. Lin You Tian was scared out of his wits, his face looking even more bloodless than that head.

*Gulu*, his hand shook, and the head rolled to Lin Qingshuang's feet.

Lin Qingshuang gathered her courage to pick it up, looking at that dead-eyed, hideous, and terrifying face, and couldn't help but shed tears.

The fire of hatred burned fiercely in Lin Qingshuang's eyes, uncontrollable.

Mother, you died so miserably, but the person who harmed you is glorious and proud, arrogant and domineering.

This hatred, how can I not avenge it?!

"Shuang'er, you watch here, Father will go push the cart over, and we will take your mother home right now..." Lin You Tian's voice was still trembling.

Lin Qingshuang gave a soft "en".

She carefully placed her mother's head and body together, then turned to look at the excitement on the other side.

That executioner stood in front of the crowd, holding that vermilion pen, and said triumphantly, "Is there anyone else bidding? If not, this pen will belong to Boss Wang of Chang Le Fang!"

Boss Wang bid ten taels of silver; this was a high price.

Even if others had so much money, they would definitely be reluctant. After all, no matter how evil-suppressing it was, it was just a pen.

But Boss Wang was different. He had earned a large sum from the gambling game he set up before, so naturally, he didn't care about a mere ten taels of silver.

"Bring it here!" Boss Wang stuffed the money into the executioner's arms and snatched the vermilion pen impatiently, laughing loudly.

Everyone else could only roll their eyes and leave while cursing.

Soon, the Magistrate also left with a group of bailiffs.

As for Lin Pozi's corpse, it was wrapped in a straw mat by Lin You Tian, placed on a half-new, half-old cart, and the father and daughter pulled and pushed it, walking with difficulty toward the city gate.

A few handfuls of furnace ash were sprinkled on the ground, covering the glaring blood stains and the thick, fishy smell. The vegetable farmers set up their stalls on it again and started shouting.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Du Ruo followed the crowd.

It had to be said that today's scene was quite shocking. It was the first time she had seen someone killed at such close range.

How should she put it? It wasn't very good.

A bit like wanting to vomit.

After returning to the inn, Du Ruo didn't even eat and fell asleep on the bed.

She had a nightmare. In the dream, she was chased and bitten by a large white tiger with hanging eyes. No matter how she spun, jumped, or even did a bungee jump, she couldn't escape.

That tiger seemed to have eaten her, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing on her.

Seeing she was about to be buried in the tiger's mouth, Du Ruo panicked, "Go away, go away quickly, don't eat me, my meat doesn't taste good at all!"

After saying this, she woke up.

Du Ruo lay blankly on the bed, unable to figure it out.

How could she have such a dream? Could it be that she was really hit by Jiang Li's words, because she watched the beheading scene and was scared, so she had a nightmare?

How is this possible? Although she was a bit nauseous, she wasn't really afraid.

After all, she had taken clinical medicine in her previous life and had seen many corpses.

Suddenly, some thought flashed through her mind extremely quickly. Du Ruo hurriedly grabbed it and summoned the system.

"Little Tong, I remember when we first bound, you once said that if I didn't bind, our whole family would live extremely miserably."

"Jiang Zhan died at the border because of cheating in the imperial examination; Jiang Wan was sold and abused to death; Jiang Sheng offended someone and was beheaded in public, with his body exposed for three days. Is that right?"

"And me, finally sliced three thousand times, alive in pain. Is that right?" ===== CHAPTER 190 =====
