Chapter 511 Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng Ends

Song Ruyi now has her own flesh and blood, and officially begins to embark on the path of cultivating the "human heart". Every step and every choice is made without regard for anything else, and only starts from her own heart. She rescues the girls who have been sold and abducted, gives them warm homes and delicious food, and teaches them how to stand on their own feet and the idea of ​​self-reliance. Day after day, year after year, she walks from place to place in the land of "Dream of Red Mansions".

During this period, without Song Ruyi's interference, the story of "Dream of Red Mansions" itself continued to proceed according to the established plot.

Not long after the death of the retired emperor, Concubine Zhen was buried alive with him. Prince Zhongshun, who had been lingering on for eight years, fell seriously ill and died soon after.

The Zhen family suddenly lost three backers and immediately realized that something was wrong. They realized that they were going to be liquidated, so they could only act secretly to leave some capital for their family to turn things around.

Soon, the boxes with the Zhen family logo were sent one by one to familiar households. However, some people who were more sensitive did not accept them, while some people who could not see clearly did accept them.

The Rongguo Mansion is the unclear family. Lady Wang, the head of the family, wanted to take advantage of the situation and accepted the silver that the Zhen family from Jiangnan sent and asked them to keep without telling Lady Jia. She thought no one knew about it, but she didn't expect that the Zhen family had been under the emperor's surveillance all the time.

"The Rongguo Mansion is really brave. They actually dare to accept money from the Zhen family."

As the Shihou Mansion was also an old relative of the Zhen family, they were naturally approached by the Zhen family and forced to help keep the silver. However, the head of the Shihou Mansion did not dare to accept it and refused the Zhen family's request, accusing them of being heartless and ungrateful. Even the people from the Zhen family who were carrying boxes blocked the door and did not dare to let them in.

"It seems like something bad is about to happen to the Zhen family. We can't even hide from them. Isn't the Rongguo Mansion really afraid of being implicated by the Zhen family?"

The Second Marquis Shi couldn't understand it. Originally, he wanted to remind the Jia family. After all, the old lady of the Jia family was also the old aunt of their Shi family. The relationship was much closer than that of the Zhen family.

But before he could write a letter to remind them, he heard that people from Rongguo Mansion had let people from the Zhen family in. Now it was too late, and there was no need to remind them.

"After all, there is still a virtuous concubine watching over Rongguo Mansion in the palace."

Lord Shi San said this without any confidence, but at this moment he could only say this to seek comfort. The affairs of the Zhen family were like a dark cloud hanging over the hearts of the Shi family, and they truly realized that they would soon follow in the footsteps of the Zhen family.

As expected, the Zhen family was raided. Fortunately, the emperor only stripped all the members of the Zhen family of their official positions and threw the guilty people into prison to punish them according to their crimes. He did not kill them all. The married daughters of the Zhen family and the innocent children were all saved.

In the Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang, upon learning the news that the Zhen family had been confiscated, was admiring the money she had accumulated in her own storeroom. She was extremely satisfied when she saw the three large boxes of silver sent by the Zhen family.

Zhou Ruijia followed Mrs. Wang and secretly looked at the three boxes of silver, swallowing her saliva with desire. There was so much silver, she had never seen so much silver before.

"Madam, the Zhen family is really rich. They have so much silver."

If my wife can get this money, I can also get a share of it, but...

"Madam, I heard that the Zhen family is not extinct, and the aunts and young people of the Zhen family are still alive. If someone from the Zhen family comes to our house, do we really have to return all these?"

"Give it back? Give it back for what?"

"How can we have the Zhen family's things in Rongguo Mansion?"

This was the reason why Mrs. Wang was willing to "help" the Zhen family from the beginning. She thought that after all, the Zhen family had produced two imperial concubines and had been operating in the palace for so many years, so their connections and power were much stronger than those of the Jia family. If there was a way to survive this "disaster", she would only charge a storage fee, and do a favor for the Zhen family in exchange for power for Yuanchun.

If the Zhen family cannot survive the "disaster", then I will pretend that I don't know anything about the Zhen family and secretly embezzle the money. Anyway, the Zhen family has gone bankrupt and they can't do anything to me.

It was obvious that the Zhen family eventually went bankrupt, and the silver naturally became "ownerless".

Mrs. Wang was resourceful and ruthless, but she was ultimately too superficial. She embezzled the money out of greed, and eventually the box of money-loan receipts hidden in the warehouse became the evidence to convict her.

On the day of Jia Baoyu and Xue Baochai's wedding, Jia Yuanchun in the palace could no longer hold on and passed away. When the news first reached Rongguo Mansion, the smiles on Jia Mu's and others' faces over Jia Baoyu's marriage had not yet faded.

Amidst the great joy and great sorrow, the first person to collapse was the elderly Grandmother Jia. Xue Baochai cried like a tearful person, and Jia Baoyu sat aside in a daze.

Time passed quickly with the bad news, and everything seemed to be accelerated. In a blink of an eye, Ningguo Mansion was raided, Rongguo Mansion was raided, and Jia's grandmother died without catching her breath. Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, and Jia Zhen were all imprisoned and exiled according to their crimes. Innocent men such as Jia Baoyu, Jia Rong, and Jia Lan were released.

All the female relatives except Mrs. Wang were released. Among them, Li Wan was allowed to take back her dowry because she was a chaste woman. Mrs. Wang was sentenced to death in the autumn because of secretly lending money, taking people's lives, and colluding with the Zhen family.

It was not until everything settled that the palace's clone Wang Xifeng finally realized that she had finally escaped the ending of her previous life and had a new future.

She hugged her two daughters tightly, and while listening to the news that the Jia family was raided, she couldn't help but feel relieved: "Fate is just an illusion, and fighting for it is still nothing in the end."

"Fortunately, I won the fight this time. I won't die of illness in a dirty and smelly cell, and my daughter won't be sold to that shameful place by my wolf uncle and treacherous brother."

As the story of "Dream of Red Mansions" comes to an end, Song Ruyi's practice continues. Over the years, she has walked through bustling streets and crossed poor mountainous areas. She has witnessed the sufferings of women and also the strength of women.

Slowly, decades passed, and Song Ruyi traveled all over the country. Wherever she went, she built one shelter after another exclusively for women. A large one might be a manor or a house, while a small one might just be a cave or a dilapidated temple. The only thing left for the women in these shelters was a spark of fire. One day, this spark would be greeted by the wind and ignite the fire.

The emperor in the palace has changed again. Wang Xifeng has been promoted from a noble concubine to a noble dowager. Her two daughters have already married and had children. She is trapped alone in the palace waiting for that man to come.

On the day when the deadline was approaching, Wang Xifeng finally waited for the person she was waiting for.

"I am about to die. Have you come to take back my soul?"

"I am coming."

Song Ruyi took out the Soul-Devouring Stone and took back his clone, leaving behind the soul that belonged only to the trader. He then turned himself back into the clone and rushed into the soul, using the energy of heaven and earth to cover the clone, waiting for the Dream-Fulfilling System to open the way back.
