C130 The Germinating Hatred
Prince Rong was from the imperial family, and had a stubborn and unruly personality ever since he was young. He had seen all sorts of scenes and witnessed the methods women in the family used to punish their servants.
However, compared to this, they were nothing. He would never have thought that the people who were sleeping next to him would be so cruel and merciless. He had seen even more brutal punishments, but they were all methods used by the yamen to interrogate others.
This woman was stupid and ruthless. It seemed that her decision not to bring her back to the capital was the right one.
Wu Niang was naturally unaware of the thoughts of the people around him, she raised her dagger and struck downwards without hesitation, her beautiful face looked like a ferocious ghost's.
tofu hyacinth took a step forward, wanting to persuade his daughter not to do this, but he quickly thought of the past. In the end, he didn't say anything and only watched as it happened.
Mian Niang laid on the chair, helplessly watching the dagger cut her face, and could only close her eyes. They were waiting for the blade to fall, waiting for it to end.
"Bang! Clang! Clang!"
With two consecutive sounds, the dagger dropped onto the ground. Mian Niang opened her eyes and saw a small stone on the stone floor in front of him.
The scene was familiar.
A middle-aged man in black clothes walked out from the shadows.
"Jiang Ting, you …" Wu Niang held onto his numb wrist, and looked at the person who just arrived in anger.
"The crown prince has said that he does not want to see blood!"
This person's tone was plain and wooden, but his eyes were like a sword hidden in its sheath, concealing its sharp edge. However, no one could ignore its danger.
He didn't even look at the unconscious girl on the chair, he only held onto his sword and looked at Xiao Zongxian who was sitting under the roof, and said: "Your Highness, if this goes on, someone's life will soon be lost!"
Xiao Zongxian's expression moved, he had always been a natural and unruly person, and had caused many things to happen, but it was just for the sake of pleasing others, if someone really did die, it was not because he did not dare, could it be that he was a king or an official of a king? The entire world was filled with people with the surname of Xiao, and his father was in charge of the general situation of the imperial court. What did a man's life count for!
It was just like this woman's brother. If Gu Bei hadn't protected him back then, he wouldn't have set his eyes on him. The reason he did so much was just to teach Gu Xin a lesson.
However, there was a very high probability that this person sent by the army would be in trouble. The chances of him coming back alive were very slim.
Right now, Gu Xin had already returned to the capital. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his family had lost all their family members. It didn't seem like there was any point in continuing to haggle over this matter.
But just like that, it didn't seem to have any meaning.
Xiao Zongxian squinted his eyes and thought.
Jiang Ting lowered his head, and unwittingly glanced at the person on the chair, but unexpectedly, the person on the chair had raised his head, and a pair of eyes quietly stared at him.
At that moment, it was hard to say what it felt like, but it was as if Jiang Ting had never seen such a pair of eyes before.
It was filled with despair, as if they were all resigned to their fate. However, with the hope of bitterly begging and not giving up, Jiang Ting followed her gaze and saw the child tied up on the pillar.
Sure enough, the girl opened her mouth and said, "If you really want to stay here and live, then leave me. I beg you all, let go of my little brother. He's not even ten years old yet, he's an ignorant child …"
Her voice became softer and softer, and finally disappeared into the wind. Her gaze landed on the Mayer's disease girl, as she clearly understood that the woman from back then would not let her go.
Jiang Ting looked at Xiao Zongxian, but the other party remained silent, but his gaze was no longer as unmoved as before.
It was a simple task to squash an ant, but when the ant knew it wouldn't be able to fight back, it wasn't begging for mercy, but for her brother.
This was not considered a rare occurrence, Jiang Ting had seen many martial artists that throw their lives away for their brothers, even Xiao Zongxian was not surprised by this.
However, when this kind of thing happened to a country bumpkin who did not have much knowledge to begin with, the contrast between the people of the Mei Family and him would become even more distinct.
The whip that was used to beat people previously was thrown onto the ground, which had dried up and left a layer of white salt on it. Xiao Zongxian followed Jiang Ting's gaze and looked over, landing on Wu Niang who was behind him.
Being stopped, the woman's face did not have the slightest bit of reflection on herself, but instead was full of regret. She was currently glaring at Jiang Ting from behind, and secretly resented him for stopping her.
"Avaricious, this woman is too despicable. Before, when she colluded with the Sai Sien Xian to trick my mother into getting married, she was also involved in the marriage. Now, she even ordered her brother to come knocking on my door to ruin my looks. "If I hadn't dodged it quickly this morning, I might have been able to see that stone in my eyes, but after entering the room just now, she spouted nonsense, not putting us in her eyes and using her dead father to scare me. Such a despicable person, if I don't teach her a lesson, how can I quell the hatred in my heart!"
Xiao Zongxian half closed his eyes and did not speak. Seeing that, tofu hyacinth thought that his daughter had moved him, and immediately stepped forward to help her daughter convince him.
She had always been a glib talker, and this time, it wasn't like the day Wu Niang had left, where someone stopped her from speaking any further, leaving her speechless. After these words were said, she unknowingly and truly thought that Mian Niang, who was lying on a wooden stool with only half a breath left, was an evil wife.
Song Zhien, whose mouth had been stuffed shut, could not tell. He could only watch helplessly as the mother and daughter smeared the Sis A's body black.
"Release him!"
Xiao Zongxian suddenly opened his mouth, interrupting tofu hyacinth's blabbering speech.
Wu Niang called out in disbelief, "Envy!"
tofu hyacinth's voice suddenly stopped. The two mother and daughter looked at each other, as if they could not believe their own ears.
It was a pity that Xiao Zongxian was not willing to speak further.
The two servants who brought Mian Niang here wanted to help him up, but they were yelled at to retreat by Wu Niang. She chased him straight to the house, and even wanted to persuade him against it, but she could only hear Xiao Zongxian say: "Wu Niang, you are really the most merciless person I have raised as a pillow. How could I dare to bring you around like this! "
Previously, he only thought that female mother was unpresentable, and did not have much affection for him, but had already gone overboard, and did not want to bring him along. Now, it seems that his thoughts of not bringing him along was completely correct, such a greedy woman, but she was vulgar and ruthless, how could she stay by his side?
"Avaricious, I am not... I really like you. " , who was in the room, anxiously tried to defend himself, but it was more of a mistake than a mistake. At this moment, Xiao Zongxian no longer wanted to listen to her debate.
She was hoping that her daughter would follow her to the capital. Relying on the love of her son, she would give birth to a child and a woman, gaining a foothold in the Duke's Mansion, thus giving her son a good future. She did not expect that at this moment, all of it would become useless.
"The person you like isn't me, but Gu Xin, it's the kind of life where you live like a prince, don't talk about it anymore, Wu Niang, there are still servants outside, don't make things too difficult. Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for the way you looked at Gu Xin, there wouldn't have been such a good life like this back then. Go out, I want to rest! "
tofu hyacinth took two steps forward, but she stood at the door, not daring to enter. This Lord Crown Prince's temper was not good, and she was truly afraid of adding fuel to the fire, so she could only look angrily at the unconscious Mian Niang on the chair.
It was a pity that the current Mian Niang really did not know anything.
No one dared to make a move because of Wu Niang's perverted river crab aura, but Jiang Ting was not afraid. He walked in front of the pillar and released Song Zhien from his bindings.
Song Zhien had been tied up for half a day, and his arms were numb to his pain. However, the moment he regained his freedom, he could no longer care about anything else, and went to look for the noble Crown Prince to seek justice for his family.
However, his shoulder was held down by Jiang Ting.
He turned around and looked at the expressionless man. "Let go!"
But in the end, he was still only a child, and was not even as big as Jiang Ting's shoulder. After being pressed by him, he felt as if there was more than a thousand kilograms of weight on his shoulder, and it was even more painful than the rope that had been fried just now.
"Bring your Sis A home, don't cause any more trouble!"
If not for the fact that he saw it with his own eyes, Song Zhien would not have believed it at all. It was this person who had just pleaded for mercy on behalf of his brother and sister.
He still wanted to struggle, but was affected by his cold gaze, he silently walked over to Sis A's side and squatted down to look at Sis A's pale lips. Song Zhien's tears immediately flowed down, but he could only restrain himself from crying.
He reached out to wipe the sweat on Sis A's forehead. He wanted to help her up but his hands were useless because of the sour river crab's weakness.
He looked around. This place was filled with servants of this family, and no one would be willing to help them.
tofu hyacinth, who should have been the ones closest to them, were currently also staring at him. However, he said in a low, fierce voice, "Today's matter is not over.
Xiao Zongxian was still inside the house, and with these people in the courtyard, tofu hyacinth did not dare to be too arrogant. He immediately shut his mouth and looked at the siblings as if he was his eternal enemy.
He stood in the middle of the courtyard, helpless and resentful. Brother A was framed, Sis A was tormented, but they could do nothing.
He looked at the open wound on Sis A's back and clenched his teeth. He then took off his clothes and draped it over Sis A's back, and wearing only a simple shirt, he squatted beside Sis A and whispered: "Sis A, wait a moment, I'll take you home right now!"
However, compared to this, they were nothing. He would never have thought that the people who were sleeping next to him would be so cruel and merciless. He had seen even more brutal punishments, but they were all methods used by the yamen to interrogate others.
This woman was stupid and ruthless. It seemed that her decision not to bring her back to the capital was the right one.
