Chapter 115 The Second Lady Pays the Price for Her Mistake
But the most important thing right now is to determine Zhang’s fault, and solve it first before talking about other things.

Then his face turned cold and he continued to speak to Zhang.

"Zhang, don't play tricks on me. Everyone should bear their own mistakes. You can't use these to cover up your evil thoughts. As long as you are still my Jiang family's sister-in-law, I can deal with you!"

After saying that, he had the man punished by family rules.

The canes and boards were all prepared. When Mrs. Zhang saw them being brought up, her legs went weak and she wished she could kneel down immediately to apologize to Jiang Huaishan and ask for his forgiveness.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xingchun next to him held his mother tightly, fearing that they would be implicated, which would cause trouble, so the little love he had left for his sister disappeared in fear.

Zhang took one look at the rattan stick with barbs and knew that she would not survive today. The maids rushed over and pressed her down on the long board, then waited for Jiang Huaishan's decision.

Since entering the mansion, Aunt Yang had never seen the family rules being enforced, so she was afraid. But when she saw her daughter Jiang Shishu trembling beside her, she felt a little bit like a strong mother, so she took her daughter's hand and signaled to her with her eyes not to be afraid.

"Go ahead. After one hundred cane strokes, if Zhang is still alive, then take the divorce letter and send her back to the Zhang family. If she is not, then report her death to Prince Chun's mansion."

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, the front hall was filled with the crackling sound of canes falling on people's bodies and Zhang's screams. Every time the whip hit them, some flesh would be torn off, so after only a dozen or so whips, Zhang was covered in blood.

All the people sitting there were women, and Jiang Shilin, the only one, was scared half to death.

He was sad about Aunt Hai's experience and tragic death, but he was also very scared when he saw Zhang being tortured. Therefore, every time the executioner whipped him, he trembled. His courage was not even as great as that of the gritting-teeth old lady Jiang and Jiang Shiyue.

As for Old Lady Wang and Mrs. Pei, they had seen all kinds of scenes. Seeing Zhang being tortured, they had no guilty conscience and naturally felt that she deserved it.

At first, Zhang was still cursing, but when she was whipped for the 30th time, she fainted. Old Madam Zhang didn't care about it and immediately rushed over and cried.

"Don't beat her anymore. If you continue, someone will die! Her uncle, oh no, Lord Jiang, please let Hongniang go! Please."

"What Madam Zhang said is ridiculous. I let her go? Then who let Madam Hai go? Did she deserve to be killed like this?"

Mrs. Zhang was so frustrated by these words that she had no stance at all.

But how could a mother watch her daughter being beaten to death in front of her eyes and remain indifferent? So she could only continue to beg. Zhang Xingchun was also in a very difficult situation. Of course, he was afraid that his family would be implicated, but he also felt that he could not bear to see his sister being beaten like this.

So he was about to plead for mercy, but was met with Jiang Huaishan's cold eyes.

"If the Zhang family really wants to plead for her, then take her away. I will send a letter to Prince Chun's mansion. As for what will happen next, that is beyond my prediction."

Zhang Xingchun felt a chill on his neck. If they had known about this trip to the north, they would not have dared to come!

Now, instead of enjoying a good life, he was almost in danger of losing his life. So he had to harden his heart and go forward to beg his mother.

"Mother, please, please think about the people at home. Your great-grandson is still so young. You can't bury the whole family in your sister's hands. If we are all gone, what will you do with Jin'er?"

Jin'er? Jin'er!
When she heard the name, Zhang's eyelids raised slightly.

Yes, she could die, but what about Jin'er? It was impossible to rely on the Jiang family, so relying on her mother's family might still give her a glimmer of hope. So she mustered up her last bit of strength and pushed her mother in front of her, looking at her with tears in her eyes and said.

"Mother... please, protect... protect Jin'er."

Old Madam Zhang was unable to do anything and could only nod vigorously. Then her fingers were pulled out one by one by Zhang Xingchun, and the executioner did not stop and continued to beat her.

Zhang no longer resisted, her skin and flesh were already bloody. After the 100 lashes, she died. No one could tell when she died.

"My Lord, the person is gone."

After the executioner checked the patient's breath, he began to speak. Everyone present was filled with fear and calm as they watched a life being lost. The one with the biggest reaction was naturally Old Lady Zhang. She threw herself on Zhang's body, hugged it and cried.

"Hong Niang...my daughter...died so tragically!"

Is it miserable?

awful.

But compared to the evil things she has done, this little bit of misery is nothing.

Jiang Huaishan asked someone to take out the divorce letter that had been prepared long ago, and then had someone hand it to Zhang Xingchun. His eyes were red at this moment, and after he took it with trembling hands, he naturally hated the Jiang family for their "heartlessness", but he dared not show it.

"Since Zhang has been divorced, she has nothing to do with my Jiang family anymore. You Zhang family should handle her funeral by yourselves. I will send the news to Prince Chun's Mansion. As we were once relatives, I will plead with Princess Chun to let them let you go. But this is the only time. In the future, whether you want to stay in Xijing City or return to Xuzhou, it's up to you. But you must not be involved with my Jiang family again, otherwise, I will show no mercy!"

Jiang Huaishan's words were powerful.

Old Madam Zhang cried bitterly, and Zhang Xingchun could only endure it.

In the end, she had no choice but to leave with her dead sister on her back. At this point, Zhang, who had been filled with evil thoughts for half her life, got her retribution and ended her life in such a hasty manner.

After they left, Madam Jiang felt like vomiting. Jiang Shiyue immediately helped the old lady leave, and did not even say hello to Madam Wang and Mrs. Pei when she left.

However, they didn't mind. After all, they didn't want to maintain this marriage.

Instead, Jiang Huaishan stood up and saluted to Old Madam Wang, then said with a guilty look on his face.

"I used to be indecisive and should have stopped Zhang's evil deeds before they became more serious. However, due to our feelings for her, I allowed her to have evil thoughts and do evil things again and again. I finally settled this feud when it was too late to turn back. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law blamed me for this. Today, I am here to apologize."

The person was beaten to death, so even if Old Lady Wang and Mrs. Pei were very dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything.

So he lifted his arm and said a few words of comfort.

"Alright, you are an official in the front, so you naturally can't be involved in too many things in the backyard. Let's not talk about the past. Let's wait and see. Anian's marriage is coming soon, and there have been deaths one after another in the family. It is indeed a conflict. Find someone to come and recite sutras for the family, so that everyone can feel at ease!"

"Yes, I understand."

After making the arrangements and giving the instructions, Old Lady Wang glanced at Aunt Yang again, and seeing that she didn't look very happy either, she gave another instruction.

"I have some top-quality tranquilizers. I'll have someone bring them over later. You all can drink some. You've all never seen blood before, so calm yourself down."

"Yes."

After saying that, Old Lady Wang did not stay any longer. She stood up and left the Jiang family with her daughter-in-law Pei. The smell of blood soon dissipated as it was washed away, and the Jiang family's backyard finally ushered in a rare peace.

The second wife, who everyone hates, has been killed. Are you satisfied with this ending? This person is really bad! Perhaps the only thing that can make her a little bit human is her daughter, but this is not an excuse to do evil! Right! So she should be killed!

Okay, one villain has been dealt with! There will be more villains to come! Hahaha, guess who will be the next villain~~~
