Chapter 895: Chapter 893: The Death of Shen Yu
She pleaded urgently, pointing to the side where her parents, crushed to death by her own hands, lay. “Look! They’re all dead! The father and mother who bore me are dead, no one will know my true identity! As long as you go and tell the imperial grandmother that you made me take your place as princess, I promise… I will serve her well, and I will treat cousin Mu Yan well! Su Yingxue, I beg you, let me continue being a princess! Let me keep being a princess! I don’t want to live in poverty again; I’m scared of being poor… I don’t want to live that life anymore!”
Shen Yu covered her face in pain, begging Su Yingxue in the most abject way possible.
She had paid everything for this position of princess!
“Just look at how pitiful I am, and give me the place of princess! Give it to me…”
Shen Yu’s desperate voice echoed throughout the basement.
Su Yingxue remained silent, instead turning to look behind her.
Behind the door of the basement, Chu Yihan stood supporting the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager’s aged face was filled with disappointment. “Zhao’er, the imperial grandmother hadn’t thought of sparing your life. But how could you be so heartless as to even kill your birth parents? They gave you life and raised you, even if they led you to live in poverty, they are still your kin, blood of your blood!”
“Imperial Grandmother…”
Shen Yu was frozen on the ground, crawling towards the Empress Dowager on all fours, clutching at her robe. “Imperial Grandmother, it’s not like that! It’s not what you think! I didn’t mean to kill them! It was because I… I was too scared! They were turned into human pigs; it was too horrifying! I didn’t want to be dragged down by them! I was afraid of having to look after them, I…”
“Enough! I will not protect you anymore. Yingxue, deal with this person as you see fit!”
The Empress Dowager withdrew her skirt and turned away in disappointment.
Fu Mammy helped her leave.
Shen Yu continued to scream in the basement, “Imperial Grandmother, spare me please!”
Su Yingxue, standing next to Chu Yihan, said coldly, “She brought it upon herself; she does not deserve to live.”
“How do you want her to die?”
Chu Yihan glanced at the two jars of medicinal alcohol, “Turn her into a human pig, to taste the suffering her parents endured?”
“No need, that would dirty our hands.”
Su Yingxue surveyed the basement, “Let’s go, husband. We’ll shut the windows, leave her alone down here, so she doesn’t disturb the imperial grandmother.”
“Su Yingxue, what are you going to do to me! Save me, and I’ll tell you a secret! Mu Fei, he even asked me to poison your imperial grandmother before! Su Yingxue…”
As the windows and door were sealed, Shen Yu’s voice could not escape.
Su Yingxue didn’t even hear her final plea.
All she knew was that in the basement without water or food, and with no airflow, Shen Yu would die of suffocation within a day, just like her birth parents.
Killing her own parents, she would stay there to join them in death.
It was time to visit Ah Jing.
After two days of recovery, Ah Jing still had a bruise around her neck, but she was otherwise unharmed.
Upon seeing Su Yingxue, she immediately embraced her, “Sister Yingxue!”
“It’s okay, Ah Jing, no need to worry anymore. You’ve left Mu Fei, that psychopath. Come back with me to the Great Cheng Dynasty, I’ll give you a new identity and let you start a new life.” Su Yingxue stroked her head, just as if she were comforting her own sister.
