Speaking of Aunt Xu, Zhi Wan sighed. She found it hard to understand her choice to meet her death.
No matter how much she loved her daughter, she shouldn't have just let her kill her without a fight. She ended up harming them both.
Unless Aunt Xu had some other unspoken hardship and wished to find release in death. That would be the only reason she would offer no resistance when her daughter came to kill her.
'But what sort of hardship could Aunt Xu have had?'
Zhi Wan was puzzled.
But Aunt Xu was already dead. The answer was likely buried with her.
After getting up, Zhi Wan went to check on Shuang'er. She was relieved to see that her injuries were stabilizing and she was in good spirits.
"My Lady, I heard from Nanny Fang that all those wicked people have been sentenced. That's wonderful news!" Shuang'er had to lie on her stomach because of the injuries on her back, but her eyes shone brightly as she spoke.
