Su Binglan revealed a sarcastic smile when she heard Han Mobei’s name.
“She’s Han Mobei’s wife, huh? That’s all I need to know.”
She would not have remembered this name if she had not met Yang Xiaoxun. Several years ago, Han Mobei harmed Yang Xiaoxun, leaving her with a burned face. His wife was not a good person either.
Su Binglan thought, ‘l should let Xiaoxun check this place out.’
She said, “Su Chun, call Xiaoxun over.’
Su Binglan kept certain people locked up because she still had some scores to settle. She had also promised Yang Xiaoxun that she would allow her to take revenge for herself. It was time for Yang Xiaoxun to step in.
“Right away, Master.” Su Chun also knew about the pain Yang Xiaoxun had experienced. Therefore, she hated Han Mobei, too. Yang Xiaoxun had saved him long ago, but he betrayed her.
Han Mobei had brought Yang Xiaoxun into the Han family, yet he allowed them to abuse and humiliate her. Later, they cast her out, and she almost died of exposure to the snow.
Yang Xiaoxun would have died along the way if it were not for her will to see her grandmother again. Some of the Han family members who knew about it had almost forgotten the name Yang Xiaoxun.
When Su Binglan mentioned the name, the family was shocked.
‘Didn’t that Xiaoxun girl die?!’
Suddenly, Han Mobei muttered, “Xiaoxun’s still…alive?”
His voice was hoa.r.s.e, as he had not spoken for a long time. He bolted to his feet but fell back down because he had not moved for a while. Han Mobei anxiously sat up and looked at Su Binglan before continuing, “Is she still alive?”
When the authorities imprisoned and beat up the Han family, Han Mobei could only think of the pure and kind Yang Xiaoxun. After all, she was once his wife.
While in prison, Han Mobei saw his family’s true colors. He began to think about Yang Xiaoxun even more often as time pa.s.sed. He also realized how much his mother and wife had changed.
The two only knew how to criticize him, which was pointless. They even s.n.a.t.c.hed his food whenever the guards fed them. Han Mobei was in disbelief as he watched his family shamelessly fight amongst each other.
Finally, he realized his family was wrong for treating Yang Xiaoxun so poorly.
Su Binglan glared at Han Mobei coldly, saying, “Of course, she’s alive. Her enemies aren’t dead yet, after all.”
“Her enemies?” Han Mobei did not understand what Su Binglan meant.
She smiled mockingly and said, “That’s right. Weren’t you the ones who poisoned her and ruined her appearance? You even cast her out during winter, hoping she’d freeze to death.”
Han Mobei frowned. At that time, he did not trust Yang Xiaoxun and did not care about her. He felt she was just a clueless country b.u.mpkin who had embarra.s.sed him in front of his family.
He was only a little sad when he discovered she had died. He had even forgotten about her in just a few days. Han Mobei thought Yang Xiaoxun could never benefit him, but that was because his mother had brainwashed him.
After being in prison for a while, Han Mobei realized his acts of abuse were unwarranted. He no longer cared if he were a Han family member because he knew he would die soon.
Han Mobei’s mother and wife were fearful when Su Binglan mentioned Yang Xiaoxun’s name. They wondered if she knew Yang Xiaoxun. If not, the princess would not be speaking up for her.
‘Is that Xiaoxun girl one of the princess’s followers? Why didn’t we know that sooner?! Did that girl tell the princess to harm us?’
Han Mobei’s mother roared, “l told you that girl was a b.i.t.c.h! I knew she’d be our downfall!”
“You think she’s the problem?” Su Binglan mocked, “Your family were the ones who colluded with the enemy and accused the Crown Prince of harming a loyal person. You’re all guilty of heinous crimes, and you will all be executed.”
The nature of this issue was vile, and it was not something Su Binglan could interfere with.
The Imperial Court officials had reviewed the Han family’s information and discovered how vile they were. They had the blood of the innocent on their hands, so the family deserved their upcoming punishments.
“That’s nonsense!” The family was in disbelief, or rather, they were lying to themselves because they did not want to die. Still, it was pointless because the evidence was conclusive.
The sheriff roared, “How dare you speak to Her Majesty that way?!”
Su Binglan’s words shocked the family. The women began to shout hysterically, unwilling to die. On the other hand, the men were relatively calm. Perhaps they knew their crimes and that making a fuss was pointless.
Soon after, Su Chun and Yang Xiaoxun arrived. The guards were excited to see the latter, announcing, “Miss Xiaoxun is here!”
The guards looked at her as if she were their idol. After all, she played the main character in all of Su Binglan!s plays. She was an exceptional celebrity to the people of this era.
Many had witnessed Yang Xiaoxun’s excellent acting. Of course, the guards were excited to see her.
Meanwhile, the Han family members could barely recognize the beautiful young lady before them. They only recognized her when she got closer. Still, she was even more gorgeous than they remembered.
Although she was beautiful in the past, they thought she lacked something. Moreover, the family remembered Yang Xiaoxun as having no status or essential background.
To the Han family, she was just an uncultured country b.u.mpkin. They abused and looked down on her back then. However, she now exuded a moving glow, and she looked even more beautiful than anyone could imagine.
Yang Xiaoxun’s confidence was so dazzling that the family could not bear to look at her. The family, who had once underestimated her, were now embarra.s.sed.
They thought she would be in dire straits, even if she survived that day. However, she had destroyed their expectations of her by appearing more graceful and alluring.
Yang Xiaoxun bowed when she saw Su Binglan, respectfully greeting the princess, “Your Highness.”
“There’s no need to bow Xiaoxun. Look, they’re from the Han family. You can settle your grudges and take your revenge.”
Yang Xiaoxun was grateful to Su Binglan. If not for the latter, she would have died long ago. Yang Xiaoxun calmly looked at the dirty Han Mobei sitting on the ground..
