A Life Lost, Morality Shattered

The next morning, the servants discovered that the heir had passed away in his bed, his eyes bulging and his face turning purple.

The Lord of Jin, who doted on his legitimate son, had always shielded him from any misdeeds.

Now, with his son's sudden death, the Lord was overwhelmed with grief.

When the household staff wanted to prepare the heir's body for burial, the Lord, upon awakening, drove them all away.

He stared at the fallen talismans on the ground, his eyes filled with anger.

"Chu Nanli! Your talismans were utterly useless! You owe me my son's life!" he shouted, demanding that his son be placed in the coffin.

Unable to swallow this indignation, he carried the coffin and went to block the gates of the Anyang Marquis Mansion.

Despite the cold winter and the swirling snow, the common people never missed a lively spectacle.
