Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770: Can’t Be Completely Useless Chapter 1770: Chapter 1770: Can’t Be Completely Useless Her body flopped over, attempting to grab at Zimo’s retreating figure.
But her limbs were bound; she couldn’t catch anyone and could only watch helplessly as Zimo walked out.
She saw the dreadful thing that would be carved into her flesh and knew that in her current state, she couldn’t even choose death; she was at the rcy of Lin Caisang’s arrangents.
She was filled with hatred, but what use was hatred in her heart?
“ihua, just… just confess, will you?”
Madam Su closed her eyes, unable to bear the sight of her daughter’s miserable condition, and spoke faintly.
In her heart, she thought that only if ihua confessed could her whole family, and her maiden family, be saved.
After all, only ihua was at fault; everyone else was innocent.
ihua looked at her mother, who wasn’t helping her but instead pleading with her to speak, and scoffed.
“Fine, I’ll confess, I’ll confess.”
What did it matter if she confessed? Baizhong had been sold off years ago; could they possibly find him now?
Besides, she had sold Baizhong to the Man Kingdom.
It was said that people in the Man Kingdom were capable of devouring raw human flesh; perhaps Baizhong had long since died a thorough death, maybe not even leaving behind any bones?
“You all want to know, don’t you? Then I’ll tell you! That bastard Baizhong was force-fed mory Tracking Powder by and sold into the black market of Lotus Commandery, into the hands of a trafficker from the Man Kingdom.
That trafficker herself said what she wanted was a man who looked a bit old but had a handso face, apparently to serve other n!
In the Man Kingdom, so wealthy households fancy such n to wait on their masters!”
She thought, since Baizhong had rejected her multiple tis, he couldn’t bla her for being rciless.
If he disdained her, a living beauty, then let him spend his life in the service of n!
“You—”
Lin Caisang could no longer contain herself and rose to her feet, kicking ihua’s body, sending it flying away.
With a ‘bang’, ihua’s body crashed into the opposite wall, rebounded a little, and then passed out.
“ihua!”
Madam Su, unable to bear seeing her daughter hurt like this, cried out in pain and rushed over.
Lin Caisang cast a cold glance at the mother and daughter and prepared to leave. As she and Zimo approached the doorway, she heard Madam Su’s voice.
“Miss, you promised you would spare us.”
Hearing this, Lin Caisang paused in her step and turned her gaze to Zimo.
“You need not worry about the aftermath; leave it to Jin Jian. As a commandery governor, he should at least be of so use,” Zimo said, raising his hand to affectionately pat her cheek.
“Hiss!”
Upon hearing this, Madam Su gasped in shock.
Were they speaking of Commandery Governor Jin? How would they deal with this? That Jin Jian was a true enemy of her husband; throughout the years, their family had held all the power in Lotus Commandery, effectively rendering Jin Jian, the commandery governor, powerless.
Now that Zimo and Lin Caisang had given Jin Jian an opportunity for retribution, was there any way for their family to survive?
Madam Su could never have imagined that Lin Caisang’s promise to ‘spare them’ would beco letting Jin Jian deal with them in Zimo’s words.
“No, you can’t do this, that Jin Jian is cold-hearted, and he won’t spare us!”
