For so many years, she waited every day for her father to return, hoping every day for a reply to her letters! To think the truth was so cruel!
She had trusted the wrong person!
That person was sinister and ruthless enough to kill her father! He seized everything from their family! And now he even wanted to kill her to eliminate any threat.
She felt a chill run through her entire body!
Tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes! She had still hoped that person would come to the brothel to rescue her! It was all just her wishful thinking!
Wang Xicai discovered that Su Keqing had not yet followed through with his plan to poison Du Yan. Afraid that delaying any longer might lead to unforeseen complications, he came up with another malicious plan. After Su Keqing left Du Yan's place, he sent a few of his men to feed poison to Du Yan and her two children, then set a fire to burn them alive.
In her dying moments, Du Yan stared directly at Wang Xicai's face and asked him one last question: "Godfather! Did you ever feel a moment of regret when you killed my father back then?"
Wang Xicai only looked at her coldly: "A brothel woman's goods are unworthy!"
Du Yan burst into a fit of desperate laughter upon hearing this!
She cursed him fiercely: "Look at what our Du Family has ended up with, and tell me who we have to thank for this! Even in death, I will become a vengeful ghost, following you day and night, haunting you! Cursing you to die a miserable death! Cursing your Wang Family to collapse and lose everything!"
Oh, how Du Yan hated! The ones she and her father once trusted the most approached them only to seize everything from them!
Plotting with malice, deceit, and cunning!
They suffered so much while that person lived so well! Why is heaven so unjust! Why doesn't heaven give the wicked their just deserts!
Resentment grew, little by little she transformed into an evil spirit seeking strength for her revenge!
Su Keqing learned of Du Yan's death and was shocked to realize it was all Wang Xicai's doing. Fearing he would frame her, she tried to escape but it was too late; she was drugged by Wang Xicai and lost her senses, tied up tightly to the bed, making calls for help impossible.
She knew that if she couldn't escape, one day she would either become a ghost under Wang Xicai's knife or his scapegoat, with no good outcome!
Perhaps karma truly exists in this world; no wrongdoing goes unpunished. The Wang Family's business had also declined in recent years. Wang Xicai arranged for Wang Yiqian to marry Su Keqing to solve their financial issues, but never anticipated things turning out like this. If the Su Family found out Su Keqing was involved, they would definitely take her back, blowing his plans wide open! Then everything would be ruined!
So he conceived another wicked plan. Since his second son was still young and not of marrying age, to resolve the immediate crisis, he wanted his eldest son to take another wife. Wang Yiqian refused, having just lost his beloved mistress and with the main wife's situation as it was, he had no heart for marriage.
But to prevent everything he worked so hard to build from collapsing, Wang Xicai knelt in front of Wang Yiqian, tearfully pleading with him. Looking at Wang Xicai, so tear-stricken, Wang Yiqian was moved.
However, his heart was already dead. In despair and sorrow, Wang Xicai selected a wealthy lady from a well-off family for him.
Outside, fireworks exploded and drums thundered, yet Wang Yiqian was already dead inside, in unbearable pain.
