“Parade through the streets? Doing self-criticism?” How did His Highness come up with such an idea, it was downright treacherous!

Baili Jia Jue gazed into her eyes which seemed to exude much more clarity than usual. His thin lips formed a crooked smile. “What is it? Bad idea?”

“No.” She merely wondered how twisted His Highness’s train of thought was, being able to come up with such a wicked method.

Moreover, regarding this incident, the other party was already listless before she made any moves.

Even Prime Minister Su could not escape the fate of being publicly humiliated.

She felt her anger cool-off as she watched from the sidelines.

It was all thanks to the man who stood before her eyes.

Helian Wei Wei shot another glance at Baili Jia Jue before continuing in a clear tone, “It’s extremely satisfying.”

“It’s fine as long as you are satisfied.” Baili Jia Jue did not sound like he was doing anything bad with his well-paced words. Although the things he said were quite alarming to others. “Your moves are too meek. It only hurts them for a second, like making her slap her own cheeks and whatnot. She needed to be made to remember this humiliation for life, that’s how revenge should be carried out.”

Helian Wei Wei kept nodding her head as she listened. It was rare to meet someone as two-faced as the Third Prince, but was it alright for him to have taught her all those devious thinking?

Moreover, he was saying how he only adore girls who were pure and innocent. What had happened to his distaste for girls who enjoyed playing mind games?

Somehow, she felt that he would always divert from how things should normally play out.

Baili Jia Jue swept his eyes over his little possession who was behaving for once. The corners of his lips lifted into a gentle smile as he reached out and pulled her to his side.

Naturally, Helian Wei Wei did not notice his features as she was still pondering about what he had just said, thus missing out on the faint smile Baili Jia Jue had on his lips…

It was rather crowded on the old streets of the Capital, be it people from n.o.ble families or the common folks. It was a time where people would enjoy strolling through these streets.

“Look, who’s that?!”

“Looks like the madam from the General’s residence!” Someone from the crowd had identified Madam Su before yelling, “Come on, let’s go have a closer look!”

With her left hand being cuffed to the prison wagon, Su Yan Mo conducted rehabilitation through self-criticism before a crowd of several hundred audiences. Every word she chanted could be heard loud and clear throughout the wide Chang’an Street. It was practically casting an echo.

Her demeanor became the laughing stock of everyone who was present.

Su Yan Mo did not have to feel her face to know that her cheeks were burning crimson. In all of the years that she lived, she had never endured such humiliation in the eyes of the public. It was literally exposing herself as a disgraceful person.

“Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought that the dignified madam of the Helian family was such an evil-minded stepmother. I actually thought that she was a good person seeing how she always practiced abstinence from meat and prayed devoutly.”

She was leaving blisters in her mouth hearing the whisperings of the audiences. Her voice was cracking as she finished reading the contents on the Xuan paper, however, she was made to recite a total of 10 times before the shadow guards who were on duty would let her off.

One moment, Su Yan Mo’s face was burning, the next it was drained of color. Her drooping eyes hid the anger in them because no matter how unwilling she felt, she could only clench her teeth as she continued reciting.

There were also other members of the Helian family within the audience which also felt thoroughly embarra.s.sed upon picturing the condition of Su Yan Mo.

That was why no one came to escort her even after Su Yan Mo had finished reciting the self-criticism 10 times.

Now, everyone from the Helian family was hiding from Su Yan Mo, afraid to have their relation to her exposed.

In the past, Su Yan Mo always had someone to escort her wherever she went, this time, she had no choice but to endure all the talking while she made her way back to the General’s residence with her head hung low.

She felt the experience was far worse than simply having her killed!
