Then, he glanced at Madam Wei and threw the two account books at her. He said angrily, "Su Ruoqing, ever since Jiang Jing died, I've been taking good care of you and your son because you were his wife. I didn't expect you to become a rat and embezzle the disaster relief funds donated by everyone. Your greed is insatiable. Are you worthy of Jiang Jing and me? "
Madam Wei collapsed on the ground and murmured, "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. I'm willing to hand over all the money I embezzled. I only ask that Your Majesty spare my life … "
"It's too late! You've embezzled for so many years. You must be an unrepentant person. This time, because of your rotten porridge, the people are angry and I've lost the support of the people. The royal family's reputation has been tarnished. My spies also found out that your son Jiang Heng is cruel and has killed several people in the mansion. I've decided to revoke the hereditary title of the Duke Wei Mansion and strip Jiang Heng of his position as the heir. At the same time, We will confiscate all of your family's property. "
Madam Wei panicked when she heard this.
The Jiang family's glory and the money she had saved up were gone. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, I know I was wrong. Please take back your order. Otherwise, how can Heng 'er survive once he leaves the Duke Wei Mansion? "
Hongyuan Emperor shouted coldly, "You've committed a heinous crime and you still want to bargain with me? Men, take her out and lock her in the prison. Three days later, take her to the market and behead her on the spot. This will serve as a warning to others and appease the people! "
Only by killing Madam Wei in public could this matter be settled.
Madam Wei collapsed on the ground when she heard this punishment.
She was dumbfounded and her eyes widened. She was drenched in cold sweat and trembled in fear. "Your Majesty, you want to behead me? Sister, I beg you, please plead for mercy for me. I really won't do it again! "
The Empress slowly closed her eyes and a teardrop fell from the corner of her eye.
She glanced at Madam Wei cruelly. "Sister, you've committed a grave mistake and can't be forgiven. Go in peace. Don't worry, after you die, I'll take good care of Heng 'er for you. "
Hearing this, Madam Wei knew that she was really done for.
"That's enough, don't waste words with her. Men, quickly drag this sinner out. Three days later, at noon, she will be executed!" Hongyuan Emperor said angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Immediately, an imperial guard walked in and dragged Madam Wei away.
Madam Wei was so frightened that she had no strength left in her body. She could only watch as she was dragged away.
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Chu Xuanchen's cold eyes, and her body shrank back in fear.
Chu Xuanchen must have done this. He must have cooperated with Magistrate Zhang to search her villa.
She glared at Chu Xuanchen with hatred. She really wanted to skin him alive.
However, she also knew that she had poisoned Yun Ruoyue first, and Chu Xuanchen had taken revenge for Yun Ruoyue.
Her heart was filled with hatred, but she was already a prisoner and had no way to resist.
She didn't dare to curse Chu Xuanchen now. She was afraid that he would attack Heng 'er.
She only hoped that Heng 'er could live well.
However, it was useless for him to live. The Jiang family had already been cut off!

After seeing Madam Wei being dragged away, Hongyuan Emperor stared at Gao Yang and the bookkeeper with disgust. He said, "As for Madam Wei's henchmen, drag them all out. Three days later, they will be executed together with Madam Wei. I want to make an example of them. Let's see who dares to embezzle the relief funds again! "
"Ah, Your Majesty, please spare us, please spare us …" Gao Yang and the others were so frightened that they repeatedly begged for mercy.
They thought that they could at least keep their lives if they sold out Madam Wei.
