When she saw the woman in white, Fengjiu's brows slightly furrowed and her face turned cold.
She was a woman so thin that she seemed like she would fall down if the wind blew. She was lying on a stretcher, wearing nothing but a thin dress. No one even thought of covering her with a blanket to warm her up in the cold night.
She lay motionless, her eyes staring at the starry sky like a pool of dead water, her silver-white hair hanging down on the stretcher. With her white clothes, white skirt and white hair, coupled with her overall thinness, it was impossible to tell what she looked like before, and all that was left was a terrifying visual impression.
Yes, Ye Ling really looked like a midnight ghost. There was not a single trace of humanity on her body. If a child saw her like this, he would probably be scared and cry.
"Tie her to the rack." An old man ordered, and asked someone to help her up and tie her up.
The two guards paused for a moment, then stepped forward to help her up, and whispered, "Miss, we're sorry." They were also following orders and could not disobey.
People who went up the mountain arrived at the top one after another. They looked at Ye Ling, who was tied to a rack in white clothes and white hair, and began to talk in low voices.
"Ye Ling is a famous beauty in Qianling Mountain. I didn't expect her to become like this. If she wasn't Ye Ling, I really couldn't believe that such a scary woman in front of me is the eldest daughter of the Ye family."
"She is only 20 years old, but her black hair has turned white. It's incredible."
"Before the accident, Ye Ling was considered a genius of the Ye family. I didn't expect that she would become like this after the accident. In the end, she ended up like this. It's a pity, not to mention it."
"What a pity! She is an ominous woman possessed by an evil spirit. If we don't burn a woman like this, why would we let her continue to harm others?"
"I heard that the head of the Song family cancelled the marriage between Song Yiping and Ye Ling. I guess Song Yiping is still out there looking for medical treatment for Ye Ling. I wonder what the scene will be like when he returns and finds out that the marriage has been cancelled and Ye Ling was burned to death."
"What can he do? Even if he comes back now, he can't save Ye Ling. All eight families are here tonight. No one can save her."
"But Patriarch Ye is also cruel. He is willing to burn his own daughter to death like this."
"You can't say that. If Ye Ling hadn't been protected by the Ye family head all along, how could she have survived until now? I overheard my father and others talking about it. They said that the Ye family head also opposed it, but it was useless. The elders of the Ye family are the ones who really have the say. I heard that the elders of the Ye family even threatened that if the Ye family head stopped it again, they would abolish his position as the head of the family."
The man who was speaking lowered his voice and said, "Think about it! If he is deposed as the head of the family, Ye Ling will still not be able to save him. Neither side will end up well. Moreover, it is said that those who interfere will be punished by the elders. Tonight, the head of the Ye family did not come. I heard that he was punished to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors."
Feng Jiu, who was in the dark, listened to what those people said. She looked towards Ye Ling and saw that she had been tied to the rack. Several guards piled branches around the rack and then stepped away.
Several old men came up from behind, glanced at Ye Ling, and said in a deep voice: "Ye Ling, don't blame the family for treating you like this. If you hadn't been haunted by an evil spirit, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
