Madam Pang seized the collar of the Late Mother, pulling her in front of her Grandson, and said to Sang Qingxiao, "This young lady, our Pang Family owes you a life—oh no, two lives. Here’s one for you now, as for the other life, you can take as many of my former daughters-in-law as you wish."
Ah, this old woman changes her face quickly. Just moments ago, she was spouting filthy words, wishing to swallow her whole; now she wore a sincere expression, admitting her faults and seeking peace. If it weren't for Sang Qingxiao's ability to see memories, she might have truly been deceived by this wicked old hag.
As a woman herself, does her life matter less than that of her daughters-in-law? The discarded former daughters-in-law are now being pushed out to take the blame. What kind of karma must she have accumulated in her past life to end up with such a family?
Old lady, your calculations are quite clever. If everyone were to act like you, then no matter how serious the crime, it wouldn’t matter; just find someone to die in their place.
Our family’s heir is still young; how can he be compared to those who are utterly depraved? The child is simply misled by those wicked women. We are putting in effort to teach him; surely he can still be educated.
This grievance has its source and its owner; it is all those women’s fault. My Grandson is truly wronged; his crimes do not warrant death.
Sang Qingxiao scoffed. "Your Grandson is small? Those children who died tragically were even smaller! Your Grandson is wronged? Those children who died tragically are even more wronged! You can't bear for your Grandson to die? How could those children's parents bear to see their children die so tragically?"
The old lady remained unfazed. "They are just a bunch of lowly commoners. What is the worth of a worthless life? At worst, I can buy their lives. Whatever they want, I’ll give it to them. My son is a General of the Imperial Cavalry with countless achievements; how can he be compared to them?"
The old lady then scrutinized Sang Qingxiao with her beady eyes, her disdain unmasked. Yet she said, "Of course, my dear lady is different from them. I see that you’re not in great circumstances lately. How about this: besides giving you two lives, we can negotiate other terms."
Ah, lowly commoners? The old lady seems to have forgotten her own origins. Your father was merely a gambling addict with a scholar's title who sold you to another gambler to pay off debts.
And yet she scorns others as lowly commoners; your and your son's backgrounds are not much better than those you deride.
"Shut up! You lowly woman!"
Those shameful and forgotten past events were exposed in public. Enraged and humiliated, the old lady no longer cared to hide her true nature and unleashed another torrent of filthy words.
Sang Qingxiao cleared her ears and smiled as she advised, "Old lady, one must not forget their roots. As for your son—ha! Others may not know, but we Demon Catchers certainly do! His promotion and even his survival today are greatly related to us Demon Catchers."
For twenty years, amidst chaos at the borders and foreign invasions, your son guarded Yanzhou City while it was shrouded in terrifying hysteria. Eight out of ten families in the city—including your son—were afflicted by hysteria and faced imminent death as enemy forces breached city after city, approaching Yanzhou.
With internal strife and external threats, Yanzhou City was destined for doom. It was only when we Demon Catchers discovered the anomaly and eliminated the culprit—the Toad Demon—that the hysteria was lifted. We Demon Catchers could not bear to see the people of Yanzhou slaughtered by foreign enemies; thus we helped your son defend the city.
After this battle, your son leaped from a mere rank to become a General Pin of the fourth rank while also taking on the role of Prefect.
