Thud!
While Nan Hou Xiang was still able to think calmly, Qu Fei Jiao was the complete opposite. She was dumbfounded when she saw Nan Shu Cheng's head rolled not far from her. If not because she was gagged with cloth, she would have long screamed out loudly.
The warmth from the blood reached her hand, causing her to shiver to no end.
She might have never thought that when she killed so many people in the past, there would be a day when she had to see her own husband being killed right in front of her.
Even though Qu Fei Jiao had schemed with the help of her servants in the past, she had never actually seen anyone die in front of her eyes. After all, there was never any need for her to be the one to personally preside when there was someone who was sentenced to death.
She's the young miss in Qu Family and also the madam in Nan Family.
There were a lot of servants who would follow her words and all she had to do was to give words upon whom she wanted to punish and kill. The power was in her hand and no one would be able to refute her.
Her father and brother would let her do what she wanted from time to time as long as she still had her usefulness.
There were many ladies in Qu Family.
But Qu Fei Jiao was one of the best among them in terms of performance. She had a good talent for arts and naturally did her best so that she could maintain this position amongst her sisters and cousins.
The competition was somewhat brutal.
They were all competing with each other because they wanted their own family members to be the head of the family. And if they could support either their father, their brother or someone close to them to be the family head, it meant that the Qu Family would be in their hand.
Qu Fei Jiao's brother was an ambitious person.
The two of them were not that close and Master Qu only wanted her to help him by performing the arts better than the others. That way, he could at least make sure that he could secure a good husband for her.
After all, a woman's worth was usually only their skills.
The skills that were necessary for them to please their man.
Qu Fei Jiao worked hard. She was not that smart in terms of schemes, but there was still her brother who protected her. Under his protection, she managed to win against the others and made sure that among the women, she had the best result.
And the reason her brother protected her because he wanted to make a good use of her marriage. It was something that Qu Fei Jiao herself knew very well.
Back then, the power was in her hand and Qu Fei Jiao could do anything that she wanted.
Things changed.
Back then, she could run away easily.
With the power behind Nan Family and Qu Family, how hard would it be to transport one person out of the city wall? They didn't need much effort and Qu Fei Jiao took it for granted that she would always be in this position.
The honorable madam of the Nan Family, the good daughter of the Qu Family.
She could hold her head high and face other people's words easily. Even if Qu Family was not comparable to Nan Family, it was still a noble family nevertheless, and a lot of people who honored her.
But facing the soldiers in front of her and the blood that washed over her hand, reality struck hard.
Qu Fei Jiao is no longer the honorable madam of the Nan Family.
She had become the traitor of the Fei Yang Kingdom, a person despised by everyone in the Fei Yang Kingdom.
Her body turned cold.
She used to be able to run away from anything that she didn't like.
But now, she couldn't.
Everything was turning against her and Qu Fei Jiao's body trembled badly. The warm blood from her husband seemed to be a loud reminder inside her mind that everything she used to have was now gone.
There was nothing that she could do anymore.
Being a helpless woman in this battle of power… she could only follow her husband's fate. And her husband's fate right now was to die a miserable and dishonorable death.
She felt scared.
