The deaths of the two old bastards from the Si Family signaled that the Si family case had finally settled.
The Si Family was executed to the last member, and those implicated, if not beheaded, were banished.
For a time, the capital was filled with countless cries of mourning.
After the corpses of the two old men were hung up, they were pummeled beyond recognition by the enraged populace.
Had the Imperial Guard not intervened just in time, they might have been reduced to two piles of mush.
He Shi and Si Minzhi had actually been pardoned.
But upon learning of the Si Family's fate, He Shi chose suicide.
She left a suicide note for Si Minzhi telling her to leave the capital, take a new name, and start a new life.
Si Minzhi locked herself in her room for an entire day and night, refusing to eat or drink.
