The two of them wallowed in dejection for a while, indeed attempting to drown their sorrows in drink and staying drunk for several days on end.
Later, the case of Li Xiaoshan and Uncle Cui being murdered by Ms. Tang caused a sensation in Jiangyuan County. The Wang Family's money was recovered, and Ms. Tang was sentenced to death. This matter became a hot topic among the townsfolk for days.
Gradually, from who knows where, rumors began to spread, claiming that the matter was related to Monarch Lu Xiang.
It was said that she sought justice for the two deceased, capturing the murderer on the spot.
Not only that, but she also adopted Uncle Cui's little granddaughter, treating her as her own younger sister.
People outside were raving about how Monarch Lu Xiang was kind-hearted and magnanimous, soft-hearted, sincere, a selfless person who would rather go without so that struggling children could have what they needed—a truly noble figure.
