Madam Tan shook her head in resistance. Her voice was full of sobs, "Wei 'er, my silly child, why did you confess? You must have your own difficulties, right? Tell them quickly. Tell them that you were coerced. You're not the murderer! "
Tan Siwei's eyes reddened. He looked away, speechless.
Madam Tan suddenly had an epiphany, "I know. Are you doing this for me …" Her lips trembled violently, "I get it, I get it! My silly child, you're really … Mother will go to the palace with you. I'm going to tell them everything! The murderer is definitely not you, but — "
Just as Madam Tan was about to blurt out, Tan Siwei roared and interrupted her, "Mother, do you want me to die here right now?"
He resolutely closed his eyes and pried Madam Tan's hands off him one by one. He took the initiative to walk toward Zhao Bin, "There's no such thing as coercion, and there's no unspeakable reason. I killed him, so I killed him. The sins that I've committed with my blood will be repaid with my blood. If you still want me to live for a moment longer, then go back immediately. Don't care about anything, don't say anything. In the future, please treat Qiongwei as your own daughter. Take good care of Elder Brother and Father. The family will be harmonious and happy, just like when I was here. "
"Siwei! Come back! Don't go, you can't go! "
Madam Tan still wanted to stop him, but Prime Minister Tan, who came after hearing the news, immediately stopped her. He hugged Madam Tan tightly in his arms, his eyes red, "Siwan, you can't go against the Emperor's orders."
"My child!" Madam Tan watched as Tan Siwei was taken into the carriage. The horse galloped in the rain, sending him in the direction of the palace. He was on a path of no return.
She collapsed on the ground. After a long time, she struggled out of Prime Minister Tan's arms and laughed inexplicably. There were tears in her laughter, "Is this retribution? It's retribution, right? The sins that I've committed back then have finally come back to haunt me … But, why don't you just punish me directly? "
"Mother …" Seeing her like this, Tan Sixian's eyes were filled with worry and sympathy. He pulled up the hem of his shirt that had become heavy from the rain and hurriedly ran towards Mrs. Tan to hold an umbrella for her.
However, Madame Tan slapped his hand away. In the heavy rain, she said, "You've been wanting to see my retribution all these years, haven't you? Now that retribution has come, are you happy? "
Tan Sixian's usual flirtatious smile froze at that moment. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. He couldn't hold on to the umbrella in his hand, and it was blown into the muddy water by the wind and rain.
"Who in this world is without sin? Greed, deceit, stupidity, murder, theft, lust, lies, two tongues, evil mouth, beautiful words … Every single one of us here is a sinner. None of us are good people! Evil people, let us rely on each other for survival! " Mrs. Tan was still smiling. She staggered a few steps before her legs gave way and she fell beside Ning Shu's feet.
"Mrs. Tan!" Ning Shu hurriedly helped her up and found that she had already fainted. She looked up at the Prime Minister and Tan Sixian who were surrounding her in shock. The rain had become heavier at some point, making the illusion in front of her even more blurry and heavy.
"Miss, do you mean that he's another Zhou Xiang? For the sake of Li E 'er in his heart, he didn't hesitate to lose his reputation and be cursed by thousands of people and was willing to bear such a heavy crime?" Forsythia frowned and widened her eyes.
Ning Shu rubbed her sore eyebrows, "This is my current guess."
Forsythia was puzzled, "But the witnesses and evidence clearly point to Tan Shaoqing. Do we have to believe them just based on Mrs. Tan's words of protection? They're mother and son, so they'll definitely try their best to get rid of suspicion for him, so her words may not be trustworthy. Besides, other than those vague words, we can't get any useful information at all. "
"There is one." Ning Shu relaxed her eyebrows and nodded with certainty, "The Tan family is hiding a big secret, and this secret involves many people. If this secret isn't solved, this case won't be solved. His Majesty is interrogating him today, but due to the Tan family's status and Tan Shaoqing's sensitive identity as a court official, he won't be convicted too quickly. Let's go, we'll investigate immediately! Seize this last bit of time! "
