273 It’s All Retribution

When the people below heard about being buried alive, their expressions changed. Xiao Shen even took a step forward and roared, “What nonsense are you spouting? You’re old and muddled! What most beautiful maidservant?! You’re already a man with one foot in the coffin! Drag her away!”

The old woman seemed to have thrown away the burden in her heart and shouted, “What do you know, what do you know?! At that time, Xiao Meili changed the Young Master into the crown prince, but she regretted it because she missed her son too much. She often beat and scolded the little princess, and on a cold day, she locked the child who had just learned how to walk in the basement. She did not give her anything, not even water, food, or clothes. She even threw her into the deep mountains and forests, but the little princess never cried.”

The old woman was in a daze. Someone was going to catch her, but was stopped by the emperor’s men. It turned out that the emperor had set up an inescapable net here long ago, waiting for Xiao Shen to fall into it.

Hearing the old woman’s words, the emperor’s heart ached. He looked at Jiang Xi and almost cried, but the old woman suddenly laughed.”That child is a sly fox. When she was locked in the cellar, there would be female cats stealing milk and goat’s milk for her. She had no clothes when she was locked in the cellar, but when she came out, she would always wear mink and fox fur, wrapped tightly in all kinds of animal fur. She would always curl up in all kinds of animal fur and sleep. In the deep mountains and old forests, there are also female wolves lying by her side to feed her and use their fur to keep her warm. The little princess is a blessed person.”

!!
The old lady sighed, “Xiao Meili missed her son, so she treated the little princess even more harshly. Later, when the little princess was one year old, Xiao Meili made me… He asked me to bury the little princess alive at the foot of the mountain. I dug a deep pit and covered the little princess with layers of snow. The little princess just lay in it and looked at me quietly. Then, she reached out her hand and asked me to hold her… I’ve been having nightmares for twenty years! It had been twenty years! I regret it so much. I should have carried her in my arms! As I continued to shovel the snow, the little princess’s eyes gradually lost their light. In the end, she looked at me expressionlessly. This is my retribution! From then on, I would see a wrinkle on my face every morning. I’m only 38 years old! Only 38 years old! That’s why I’ve become like this!”

The old woman suddenly roared and pointed at her own face, tears streaming down her face. Back then, she was only 18 years old, and she had personally buried a child alive in the snow.

“When I go out with my mother, everyone thinks that I’m the mother. Hahaha…” The old woman laughed madly, her laughter full of regret.

There were faint signs of a riot in the crowd.

“I regretted it after that. I wanted to dig the little princess out, but she was gone. The pit was so deep, and the snow was so thick. Who would dig the little princess out?” The old woman sighed. How could she have known that even after digging such a deep hole, Jiang Xi would still be able to trip Jiang Shan?

The emperor’s heart trembled. He tried to pull Jiang Xi away, but the phoenix slapped him away in disdain. When the imperial preceptor saw phoenix’s appearance, he felt that he was doomed.

“You’ll all get your retribution. You impersonated her identity, so you’ll get your retribution.” The old lady pointed at Zhao Panpan.

Jiang Si felt increasingly uneasy. He hugged Zhao Panpan tightly, his heart aching for her, and his eyes revealed traces of killing intent.

“You’re saying that the princess disappeared after you buried her alive? What about her?” Jiang Shan stood beside Zhao Yingying and pointed at Zhao Panpan.

The old lady looked at Zhao Panpan with a strange expression, “A few days after the princess was buried alive, the empress said that she would find a way to get Xiao Meili back to Jing City. Xiao Meili became anxious and said that she had kidnapped a girl on the street to replace her. The girl was probably just born and had four older brothers. I looked at her for a long time before I lured the children away and took the girl away.” The old woman’s expression was indifferent, as if she did not care. “That girl seems to be blessed. She was born on the same day and month as the princess, but she is one year younger than the princess.”

As soon as the old woman finished speaking, she heard a shrill cry, “I’m going to kill you! You damn woman!” Yang Fen rushed toward the old woman and directly pushed her against the wall. With a plop, a big hole appeared in the old woman’s head, and blood gushed out.

“You b*tch! It’s all because of you, you b*tch! You’re the one who abducted my daughter! You’re the one who abducted my daughter! You’ve kidnapped my daughter! I’ll kill you! I’m going to kill you!” Yang Fen’s hair was disheveled. She rode on the old woman’s body as if she had gone crazy, and she slapped her face again and again.
