The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 768: You’ll Get Used to It Eventually

The soldiers pointed their long spears, indicating for these women to sit next to the Jin Country officials.

Most of the women slowly lowered their heads and moved over. From Dingjing to Changning, they had suffered enough hardships, enough humiliation and insult. The pride and restraint of noble women had been nearly stripped away.

Only a few women stood still.

In the end, three women were still standing straight.

Yun Jiao heard Wulinda Hai beside her ask, "So, these few are unwilling to serve our Da Jin officials?"

One of the standing women said sharply, "You Jin Country people are all beasts! To ask me to pour wine for you, dream on."

The other two women remained silent, yet stood behind the woman with heads held high, their defiance evidently shared.

Wulinda Hai chuckled, "Not bad, there’s spirit."

Then, without any change in tone, he said, "Since that’s the case, keeping you is useless. Take them outside and execute them."

As soon as the words were spoken, soldiers began dragging the women away.

Yun Jiao looked at the women, only one or two decades old, who had just stood there beautifully and regally, now being dragged by soldiers with hair caught, like lambs awaiting slaughter.

She abruptly turned to look at Wanyan Zhang at the top seat, and Wanyan Zhang was staring right at her.

Yun Jiao slightly parted her lips, about to say something, but meeting Wanyan Zhang’s gaze, she slowly closed her mouth again. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Wanyan Zhang’s eyes were cold and stern, clearly indicating for her not to plead; speaking would only bring self-humiliation.

Yun Jiao clenched her fists and slowly lowered her head.

Then behind her came a very soft voice, "Do not consider doing anything, their death now might indeed be a release. There are many here who desire death but lack the courage to end their own lives."

Yun Jiao turned back, surprised to find the girl in maid attire behind her was Yang Ying.

The three women were soon dragged out, and shortly afterwards, soldiers returned to report, bloodstained armor marking the event, "Reporting to the Second Crown Prince, reporting to the Prime Minister, the three women have been executed."

Wulinda Hai waved his hand, and the soldiers retreated.

Then two troupe of dancers entered, the main hall filled with the sound of music.

Yun Jiao lowered her eyes and sat silently, not drinking wine or even moving her chopsticks.

She once thought she did not have much of a sense of belonging to Great Chu, but at this moment, in this hall, she keenly felt her deep humiliation, helplessness, and anger as a person from Great Chu.

Her chest felt weighed down by a massive stone, immovable and oppressive, making breathing difficult.

Behind her came Yang Ying’s lowered voice, "Doctor Gu, don’t be sad, you will gradually get used to it."

Yun Jiao managed a smile more painful than tears.

Yang Ying whispered, "I am now the Second Crown Prince’s maid. I saw you a few days ago but didn’t have a chance to greet you. Are the Duke’s wife and the Young Master okay now?"

Yun Jiao’s eyes grew moist and her voice choked, "Before the city fell, the Duke left to assassinate the Emperor, and since then, there has been no news. We don’t know if he’s alive or dead."

"The Young Master is well, having traveled to Xiang City and thus avoided this calamity."

"The Madam is with me."

Yang Ying softly said from behind Yun Jiao, "That’s good."

"From my family, only my brother and I were taken captive."

She gave a bitter laugh, "I used to despise myself for not being beautiful enough, but in the end, this beauty has led to my downfall time and again."
