"We can't execute them just yet, I suspect they are in league with General Li's army in the northwest. I must root out the enemy spies hidden in Shengping County!" Feng Yang spoke up.
Treasonous Li's soldiers? Isn't this tantamount to mutiny? Mrs. Liu was taken aback.
Mrs. Liu thought of the blood-filled scene outside the Meridian Gate that day and fell silent.
Treason was a crime punishable by the extermination of the entire family. Her own family had cut ties with the old house, and the fact that Shen Jingwen sought to poison them proved they were enemies rather than relatives! But what about her younger brother's family?
She slightly regretted her earlier words, wondering if it was too late to send a letter back to the Imperial Capital.
Was Shen Jingwen out of his mind? How dare he get involved in treason. It was such a burden, for him and for others. Mrs. Liu was infuriated.
