Xiao Zi Xuan’s round eyes became wide open. She had always thought that those two were just ordinary villagers. Never did she think that Qiao Tian Chang was the Great General.
“This can’t be, how is this possible?” The person who she looked down the most turned out to be the wife of the Great General, and because of what she had done, she had caused the demise of her brother. This…this…
“Take her away and punish her with thirty hard strokes and house arrest. Anyone who dares to let her out without my order will be beaten to death.” Marquis Ling looked coldly at Xiao Zi Xuan whose expression changed.
When Xiao Zi Xuan heard that she was going to receive several strokes, her face immediately changed. She looked at those in front of her with a face full of ruthlessness, “All of you are in no position to hit me.”
“Do it.” Marquis Ling didn’t feel like dealing with her any longer. He had to think of what to do next.
Xiao Zi Xuan swore as she was taken away. After receiving the thirty strokes, she almost lost her life. If she wasn’t the daughter of the Xiao Residence, she would perhaps have been thrown out to perish by Marquis Ling.
At the time when Marquis Ling and Ling Luo were discussing about what they should do next, the wife of Duke Xiao, Li Lin Er, got wind of the news.
She also knew that her son had been arrested and thrown into prison not too long ago and to be executed three days later.
“My Lord, you have to save Ming’er.” Li Lin Er wept endlessly as she ran up to Xiao Yi Lin, pleading him.
She only had a son and a daughter. If anything were to happen to her son, how was she going to continue living.
Xiao Yi Lin glared fiercely at Li Lin Er, his expression ugly, “Save? How do you want me to save him? Not only is Tong Bao Zhai putting pressure on us now, even the Great General will not let us off. Everything was initiated by the Great General.”
Li Lin Er looked at Xiao Yi Lin in disbelief, “Why is he doing that? We have never provoked him.”
“Why? The wife of the Great General used to be someone who Ling Luo loved. In order to make him forget about her completely, our Xuan’er sent the secret soldiers to murder her. She didn’t lose her life, but suffered from a miscarriage. Do you think they wouldn’t not take revenge on us?” Thinking about the end of Qiao family, Xiao Yi Lin’s heart felt icy cold.
That was Qiao Tian Chang’s most dearest.
Li Lin Er frowned, “Isn’t that just a fetus whose gender still remains unknown? They are simply being unreasonable.”
Xiao Yi Lin pointed his trembling finger at Li Lin Er. He didn’t think that she would say such a thing.
How could she say something like that?
“That’s enough, you better not say that outside. If Qiao Tian Chang and his wife were to hear about it, Ming’er won’t be the only one dying, the entire Xiao family and your Li family will be at risk.” Xiao Yi Lin warned her with a coldly. He was sure that if that was heard by Qiao Tian Chang and the rest, the Xiao family would no longer have a calm day ahead.
Although Li Lin Er agreed on the surface, she was still resentful in her heart, she didn’t believe Xiao Yi Lin’s words.
Xiao Yi Lin didn’t know what Li Lin Er was thinking at all. If he knew, he would probably wished he could peel open her head to see what was filled inside.
Since Xiao Yi Lin couldn’t be of help, she could only turn to find her own family, in hopes that they would save Xiao Ming Ren.
However, the people in the Li family avoided her like frightened snakes and scorpions when she mentioned about saving Xiao Ming Ren.
This made her hatred in her heart grow even more, so she tried to think of other ways. In the end, she circulated a rumor the Great General was treating human life like grass, slandering him.
After the news spread, Qiao Tian Chang only laughed grimly. He didn’t care about it at all.
Li Lin Er actually thought this it was going to be somewhat useful, but never did she stop to think that Qiao Tian Chang and the rest would not be bothered by it.
“Do you want to go and see tomorrow?” Qiao Tian Chang reached to put his hands around Ning Meng Yao’s waist.
“I don’t want to go.” She only needed to know the outcome. She didn’t need to go and see.
“Sure, you can stay at home. As for the other things, I will deal with them properly.” He lowered his head to give Ning Meng Yao a kiss on her face.
“Okay.”
Both of them were intimate at their side, but Li Lin Er had difficulties being at ease. Now, she was out of ideas on what to do
