“And…” Putting on a difficult smile, Di Xiao Wan hurries to change the subject: “We better deal with the matter here first, it’s more important.”
Understanding that tone, Bai Yan slowly turns to face the Dong Elders. She wants to get their opinion on this before she begins. “So what plans do your family have? Or are you okay with me taking over?”
Shooting a disgusted look at the person lying there on the floor, Old Madam Dong was the first to reply. There’s no hesitation in her words: “This woman harmed my daughter and caused us so much grievances all these years. I believe it’s safe to assume I’m speaking for the rest of the Dong House that we have no objections to anything you have in mind.”
Dong Tian Ling (Old Lord Dong) originally wanted to say something there towards his granddaughter, but against those resenting eyes, this old grandpa ended up stuffing it back down.
“What about you?” Bai Yan’s shifts her gaze over to Dong Rou Qin (cowardly man) this time.
She wants to know, what will her aunt’s younger brother do even under these circumstance. Will he do the right thing or continue going down this wrong path.
Going stiff in his face, the man himself didn’t have the nerve to face his daughter, nor the woman asking him the question. He’s too ashamed to face anyone right now.
Looking at this scene, Dong Mu Xue (horrible daughter) finally fell into a panic. Struggling to get up, she clings onto her father’s leg without letting go.
“No, you can’t ignore my mother!” She pleads by gripping the cowardly man’s sleeve, “If you don’t help then me and Mother will die before your very eyes! By then, my brother too will hate you for a lifetime!”
Going ashen at that threat, “Mu Xue, you….”
“Dong Ruo Qin, are you still my father or what? My mother didn’t do anything wrong at all! Dong Ruolan was originally a daughter of the Dong’s family. Since my mother is the mistress of the family, it’s only right that she’s permitted to do as she wish with that woman! If you don’t help now then I will die in front of you.”
Snatching a sword from one of the guards, Dong Mu Xue (horrible daughter) immediately places the sharp weapon next to her neck in idle threat. And due to how much hatred was portrayed in those eyes, even that young feministic face had distorted to the point where it’s scary.
Annoyed by this, Bai Yan’s pressure on her captive only got harder. As a result, Fu Bao Yun’s pain instantly increased to the level where froth started to gurgle out of those blood ridden lips.
“Sister-in-law, this time Dong Ruo Qin shouldn’t be so foolish anymore right?” Di Xiao Wan (demon princess) gives a heavy snort, annoyed by the show she’s seeing.
“Auntie,” Bai Xiachen lightly blinks his big innocent eyes, “there’s a saying out there. One’s blood line cannot be ended. He may not care about that abhorrent woman anymore, but he cannot ignore his daughter.”
No father wouldn’t love their own biological daughter, but that’s under the premise it’s his own blood!
Sure enough, Dong Ruo Qin’s resolute face started to sway. In front of that tear swelling daughter of his, the cowardly man eventually crumbles and kneeled before his parents.
“Father, Mother, my wife did do a lot of wrong, and…. she became overly pampered as a result of our goodwill and guilt. Even so, Bao Yun is still my children’s mother. For your grandchildren’s sake, please spare her life this one time!”
He did not seek permission from Bai Yan, after all, to this man Bai Yan was but his sister’s niece. So long as his parents say yes, then what else can a distant relative say?
“Miss Bai Yan,” Fang Yu Feng (sect leader) shakes his head before sighing, “Do you need me to handle this for you?”
Raising a corner of her lips into a scheming smile, Bai Yan’s expression was as cunning as a fox: “Son, do you want to see a good show later?”
Her mind kept thinking back to the report brought up by the members of the Flower Brothel stationed here in the Chi Xia Kingdom.
“Is Mother going to get payback for Grand Auntie?”
