Chapter 851: Chapter 851 Revenge (1)
The Bao Family’s matriarch slapped Da Gouzi across the face, “He is your father, he wronged the Northern Land, wronged the Prince and Princess, wronged Shili Village, but he has never wronged you, never wronged our family.”

Tears streamed endlessly down Da Gouzi’s face.

“You did the right thing,” Ma Erlang finally let his tears fall too. When he knew that it was the Bao Family’s matriarch who had betrayed him, his hatred for her was bone-deep. But now, he didn’t hate anymore; she had done the right thing. The life he’d led was like walking on the blade of a knife, and it was only a matter of time before his identity would be exposed and he’d be plunged into hell. His death was no big deal; after all, these years in the North Country, he had lived worse than pigs and dogs. The people of the North Country looked down on him and took out their anger on him whenever they pleased.

To survive, he had trained desperately every day. With the Bao Family’s matriarch exposing him, he no longer had to live a life of constant fear, he could finally sleep peacefully, and no longer had to worry about his children being implicated.

“Live a good life, settle down peacefully in the village from now on. Don’t follow in my footsteps. As long as you bear no ill will towards others, the villagers won’t harm you. Even if they say some unpleasant words, do not take them to heart; consider it atonement for your father.” A dying man’s words are kind, and this, applied to Ma Erlang, seemed quite fitting.

“Dad,” Da Gouzi wrapped his arms around him and wailed loudly, while Ergouzi cried even harder, struggling to catch his breath.

“Take the children and go. Don’t write anything on my grave to avoid complicating things for them,” Ma Erlang wept as he gave his instructions. Death was terrifying, but he also felt an inexplicable sense of liberation. “Xincai, my nephew’s wife, if you have the time, take care of them now and then. The children will always remember your kindness. You are good people, and with you looking after them, I can rest in peace when I’m gone.”
