"Why?" Long Fengying stared at Mo Mei, her heart filled with fear, hatred, despair... a mélange of feelings.

Mo Mei snorted coldly, "Because the Emperor thinks you have brought disgrace upon the royal family, and that it would be better for you to die than to live. Now in the eyes of the people, you are already a dead person!"

Even with mental preparation, Long Fengying's heart still ached like being cut by a knife upon hearing Mo Mei's words, and then she was filled with venomous resentment and unwillingness.

She knew that whether it was a daughter from a large household or from an ordinary people's family, once such an incident occurred, her life would be ruined. Even if she were rescued in the end, she could not escape death. Such a way offered the woman release and kept her family's reputation intact, especially since the royal family had no concept of familial affection.
