“…Shen Yueli, are you insane? Why should I save you?”

Seeing this, Lin Fan felt it was utterly ridiculous and immediately retorted with a cold, expressionless face.

“Aren’t you fond of pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be innocent, putting on a show of false sincerity, pretending to be compassionate and kind?”

He took two steps back, shaking his head in disgust.

“It’s good that your face is rotten, you deserve it to be completely ruined and show your true colors!”

“No, don’t, save me, please save me, it itches, I can’t help but scratch… ah, ah, ahhh!”

Shen Yueli cried out desperately, screaming at the top of her lungs.

But the pain on her face was becoming more and more intense.

It was making it hard for her to stay calm, she wished she could extend her fingers and scratch madly with force!

The piercing screams continuously echoed throughout the entire courtyard.

But Shen Yueli could no longer hold back, her hands desperately scratching the itchy spots on her face.

In no time, she had scratched her own face open, all red, terrifyingly ghastly like a demon.

She cried in pain, rolling on the ground!

“Sister, sister, stop scratching, if you keep doing it, your face will really be ruined!”

Such a horrific scene immediately startled those around, leaving them exchanging horrified glances.

Everyone kept backing away as if avoiding a plague, afraid of being affected too.

Shen Qingqiu couldn’t care less about Mrs. Ying Sr., who had fainted, rushed to Shen Yueli’s side but froze, showing a cowardly expression.

No matter how much his face showed nervousness and concern, he dared not touch her!

“Lin Fan! Aren’t you a doctor? Shouldn’t you have a healer’s heart? How can you stand by and watch my sister suffer like this?”

With no other options, Shen Qingqiu was both angry and resentful, turning to Lin Fan to question him sharply.

“Then should I just kill her to free her from pain?”

Lin Fan’s lips curled into a mocking smile as he coldly retorted.

“You! She’s your stepmother, after all! We’re family, how can you be so heartless!”

Shen Qingqiu was so choked he nearly spat up blood, quickly switching reasons, trying to move Lin Fan.

“Your so-called family drove my mother and me to run for our lives?”

Lin Fan was amused by it, sniffing slightly, he could tell the poison Shen Yueli was afflicted with.

“You have time to argue with me here; you’d better hurry and take her away.”

“However, she is poisoned with Bone Needle Flower; being sent to the hospital might at most save her life… as for her half face, it’s not a big problem, as long as the flesh and skin rot away, when it rots down to the bone, it will stop.”

What the hell!

When the half of the face’s skin and bone have completely rotted away, won’t she become a freak?

The glamorous Ying Family’s Patriarch’s Wife, if she sees herself becoming like this, she would probably die in anger!

Upon hearing this, people around turned even paler and distanced themselves further.

Even Xia Bingbing and the other girls quietly moved away from Wu Miaomiao.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, we’re all good sisters, I don’t mind the Young Master having more confidants, I won’t hurt you all!”

Seemingly noticing, Wu Miaomiao’s red lips curled as she comforted them with a sweet smile.

However, this extremely seductive voice made Xia Bingbing and the others’ scalp tingle, chills ran down their spines, and they quietly backed away a few steps.

“Lin Fan, save me, please save me! Ah… I can’t take it anymore, it hurts, it itches, ah…ahhh!!”

Tear!

Shen Yueli, rolling on the ground, crazily scratching her half face with blood and yellow pus flowing nonstop, was completely devastated.

Suddenly, she tore forcefully.

She actually tore off half her face, revealing a bloody mass of decayed flesh!

“Hiss…!!”

Seeing this, those around gasped in horror, their hearts trembling fiercely.

How painful and unbearable must it be?

That would make Shen Yueli tear off half her face?

Just watching from afar is enough to make one’s skin crawl!

“Sister! Stop moving, you’re destroying yourself with your own hands!”

Shen Qingqiu trembled with fear, his mouth dry, urgently persuading.

Looking at Lin Fan, his eyes became full of hatred and fear.

This guy’s ruthlessness exceeded his expectations by far.

Even watching Shen Yueli in such a wretched state, he didn’t blink an eye!

“Lin Fan, I was wrong, please save me, *sob sob*, *sob sob*…”

“I was wrong, I’m nothing but a shameless wretch! Look, look, I’ve already faced retribution!”

“I’ve already lost half my face, have pity on me!”

After tearing off half her face, Shen Yueli’s pain and itch seemed to ease.

She cried and crawled on her knees to Lin Fan’s feet, pleading miserably.

“…Fine, if you want to save the remaining skin and flesh, crawl all the way from here on your knees to my mom’s funeral at the Imperial Mausoleum!”

Lin Fan’s lips twitched as he took out a bottle of Divine Dragon Detox Powder that he carried with him.

Watching Shen Yueli die miserably before his eyes was certainly satisfying.

But what he truly desired was for this madwoman to kneel at his mother’s grave and repent in agony!

Moreover, losing her proudest beauty would make Shen Yueli even more miserable.

This torture would accompany her for the rest of her life, making her wish she were dead!

“Alright, I’ll kneel, I’ll crawl over while kneeling! As long as you give me the medicine, I’m willing, I’m completely willing!”

The maddening sound of her head pounding the ground rang through the air.

It was Shen Yueli, staring intently at the medicine in Lin Fan’s hand, pounding her head forcefully as she screamed!

“Stop playing tricks. I can stop your face from rotting, or I can make it rot even more thoroughly.”

Lin Fan dipped his fingertips into some Divine Dragon Detox Powder and evenly flicked it onto Shen Yueli’s rotting flesh.

“Thank you, thank you! I won’t act rashly anymore, I won’t dare to play tricks again, I’ll definitely keep my promise, I absolutely won’t act rashly…”

When the powder landed on her rotten flesh, a cool sensation immediately stopped much of the itching and pain.

Shen Yueli slumped to the ground, sitting askew, her trembling hands covering her face as she cried miserably.

She lost, completely, without any ability to fight back.

She not only lost to Lin Fan but also to Lin Suxin, who had already died!

No matter how many times in the past, relying on hypocritical means success was inevitable, achieving the desired goals.

But this one failure made her pay an unbearable, painful price.

Like taking a wrong step and falling into an endless abyss!

“And you all, don’t you want me to show mercy and not implicate you, only to punish the real culprit from those years?”

Lin Fan suddenly raised his eyes, looking at the Ying and Shen Families members with tense expressions.

“You all kneel and crawl over too, escort my mother to her burial! And her as well!”

He pointed at Mrs. Ying Sr., who was being helped up, gradually waking up, and shouted angrily with red eyes!

What, what?

For us to kneel and bury Lin Suxin?

If this spreads, wouldn’t it be a total loss of face, unable to hold our heads high in the Imperial Capital from now on?

Momentarily, those people looked at each other, speechless, all feeling troubled.

They never expected that bringing the wreaths, paper figures, horses, and other items would ultimately turn into this?

“…Alright, we’re willing. We watched indifferently back then, now it’s only right to apologize to your mother!”

“As long as you spare us, I, I’m willing too!”

After a moment of hesitation, they suppressed their feelings and nodded heavily.

There’s no choice; pride is certainly important, but it’s better than scattering like monkeys when the tree falls!

“I, I’m not willing! Why do I have to bury that bitch Lin Suxin! And, and kneel?”

Mrs. Ying Sr. pushed aside the crowd, trembling with rage, veins popping on her forehead.

Aside from her noble status, it’s truly hard to accept.

Not to mention a mother-in-law kneeling and burying her former daughter-in-law, it would make her the laughing stock of the entire Imperial Capital if spread!

“Fine, as you can see, she’s the one unwilling to prevent you from being implicated.”

Lin Fan nodded expressionlessly.

Ignoring the changed faces of the Ying and Shen Families members, he turned to Nie Feng, who looked pleased and satisfied.

“I want to bury my mother immediately, to lay her ashes to rest… I don’t want to wait any longer.”

“No problem, I knew you couldn’t stand it, everything is prepared ahead, just waiting for your word.”

Nie Feng laughed, slapped Lin Fan’s shoulder, and nodded.

“You can set off right now, I’ll make a call, let the Three Armies Guard of Honor meet at the front gate, then head to the Imperial Mausoleum!”

“…Thank you, this kindness from the Imperial Capital’s upper echelons, I Lin Fan will remember.”

Lin Fan’s expression relaxed as he solemnly clasped hands with Nie Feng.

Immediately, he nodded to Mr. Xia Sr. and others, then rushed indoors to bring out his mother’s urn.

“Let’s all go too, to see Mrs. Lin off.”

Seeing this, Mr. Xia Sr. and Yu showed sentiment, exchanging looks, ready to join the procession.

“Old hag! Are you, are you going to watch us die?”

“Damn it, back then it was you and Shen Yueli who forced Lin Suxin to death, now when she’s being sent off kneeling, what’s wrong with that?”

“Shen Yueli is willing, why aren’t you? Hurry up and kneel, join us, stop pissing off Lin Fan!”

Seeing a group of people majestically follow Lin Fan out.

The Ying and Shen Families members frozen in place suddenly became desperate.

This is their only chance.

The time for them to beg for Lin Fan’s forgiveness is running out!

Thud!

A few men didn’t care for anything else, hurriedly stepped forward.

Forcefully pressed the weeping Mrs. Ying Sr. to kneel to the ground.

Then, along with Shen Yueli crawling on her knees, they went out in confusion to follow!
