A sensational incident once rocked Jiangnan.
Following a divorce, a man began an affair with a new woman, Madam Wen. Because Madam Wen disliked the two children born of his previous marriage, the man, eager to please her, tricked his own flesh and blood into going to the riverside and personally pushed them into the water. Both children perished.
The man’s ex-wife rushed to the scene upon hearing the news; seeing the bodies of her two children, she wept uncontrollably and demanded that the man pay with his life for his crime. However, the location was remote. Had it not been for a few woodcutters who happened upon the scene, the children’s bodies might never have been discovered. Perhaps even the heavens could not bear such beastly conduct, providing witnesses to such an ugly affair.
