âIf your family had treated Xiao Ya well, maybe I would have put the past behind me and let you become Xiao Yaâs slaves and serve her for the rest of your lives, but now... I think Xiao Ya doesnât want to see you again.â
Xiao Ya had been hurt so badly. She had not fully recovered, but these people had abused her again.
It was all her fault for not protecting Xiao Ya...
âLittle Soul...â
Little Soulâs body stiffened.
Feng Ruqing placed Xiao Ya slowly on the ground with an expressionless face. âYou and Little Sword protect her. Donât let anyone hurt her again!â
The black sword was a little scared, trembling.
Little Soul did not say anything as it stood next to Xiao Ya.
âThe Ninth Emperor is a madwoman. No one can stop her when sheâs angry...â
Only Qing Zhu was a little envious of Xiao Ya.
âIf Princess treats me like how she treats Xiao Ya, perhaps Master will not dare to threaten me to make me into snake soup again...â
âWhy not ask Princess to be my master? Sheâll protect me just like she protects Xiao Ya!â
âYouâre Duan Qiongâs second wife, right?â
Feng Ruqing walked toward Zhen Tian and said, âI donât know what Xiao Ya had suffered back then. I met her with bruises all over her body, and the wounds are still there even after twenty years.
âShe was poisoned and mute, and her wound was so deep that she could not recover for years. I could help her heal her wounds and scars, but she refused.
âA woman who doesnât want to recover her beauty must have reasons related to her love. I asked her if the person who injured her was her lover, she denied it. However, she admitted that... She was hurt because of her lover.â
Zhen Tian trembled as her eyes were filled with panic.
âNo matter how much that old man hated Xiao Ya, he would not ruin her face. At most he would just kill her...â
It must be Zhen Tian, who was jealous of Xiao Yaâs beauty!
âNo, donât be ridiculous...â
âIâll never admit it. Never!â
She loved Duan Qiong, and she had only him in her heart! If she confessed, Duan Qiong would surely leave her, a pain she could not bear!
âItâs alright if you donât admit it, as long as I know that you did it...â Feng Ruqing sneered. âIâm not saying all this to make you confess but to make it clear that you lost your life for what you did back then! I want you to regret what you did before you die!â
Whether she pleaded guilty or not was none of her business.
She would never let the people who had hurt Xiao Ya go, but she would not kill them wantonly. All guilt would depend on the act.
For example, Duan Qiong...
He tried to kill Xiao Ya. However, if Xiao Ya could not let go of him, she would turn him into Xiao Yaâs slave.
As for Zhen Tian...
She deserved more than a thousand cuts!
Feng Ruqing raised her hand, and a blast of spiritual qi sprang into Zhen Tianâs brain.
Zhen Tianâs face was pale with pain, and her voice cracked.
