Even though Zhai Su was Wu Dahu’s biological femina father, he would definitely show no mercy to him if he dared to hurt Song Qinghan. And in addition, they got no emotional tie at all now.

Finally, the ins and outs of the whole matter came to its end. They found themselves a lodge nearby and got two rooms while they didn’t intend to do anything today. They just wait until it was time for Song Qinghan to have the medicine soup.

Although Little Shitou had been making a fuss for a while as he cried for the milk, he still accepted the fate to eat congee in the end while nobody seemed having a mood to answer him.

Three days passed in a blink an eye, they bid farewell to Doctor Luo, and then took the carriage heading back to the provincial capital.

After they back home, Song Qinghan asked Wu Dahu to get him a coffin. And then he picked up two cobbles from the pond, wiped them dry and then placed them under two sides of his armpit. With the assistance of Wu Dahu and Hualian, he got into the coffin smoothly and lay down.

Wu Dahu found a piece of cloth to tie the Little Shitou on his chest. And then he carried up the coffin on his back in cooperation with Hualian, heading to Zhai Su’s Mansion.

In front of the mansion’s entrance gate stood a guard. The guard jumped out and broke the way, stretching forth his arms. But the next moment a voice sounded inside the mansion.

“Get out of the way! How dare you to block Young Master’s way?”

Wu Dahu looked at the person with a poker face and said coldly, “Where’s Zhai Su? Take me there!”

The butler showed a face of embarrassment as he looked up and noticed the coffin on Wu Dahu’s back, he was completely awed when he looked into Wu Dahu’s eyes which were full of coldness, and subconsciously, he shrank his neck a bit and then smiled stretching his one of his hands politely, “Young Master, this way.”

At the door of the room where Zhai Su stayed, Wu Dahu pushed the butler away who was about to knock on the door, and then he ordered, “All of you, get out from here.”

The butler nodded with reluctance as he saw Wu Dahu was with a face of solemnness. But just as he turned and was about to leave, he shouted loudly out of Wu Dahu’s attention, “Master! Young Master is here with a coffin.”

Wu Dahu glared at the back of the butler who was sneaked away meticulously, he didn’t bother himself arguing with the petty but withdrew his gaze instead.

But thanks to his shout, Zhai Su opened the door the next moment. As he noticed the coffin on Wu Dahu’s back, he frowned slightly, lowered his voice and said, “What happened? Did you take a coffin for me as a greeting gift since it is the first time for you to visit me?”

As soon as he finished the last bit of his words, Wu Dahu pushed open the coffin lid, and Song Qinghan’s pale and bloodless face emerged within the trough gradually. Wu Dahu suppressed his wrath in his mind, saying, “Don’t you want to kill Han? Now, your dream comes true!”

Zhai Su walked over slowly and reached out to grab Song Qinghan’s hand trying to take a pulse. He was shocked as he failed to feel any signs of beat on Song Qinghan’s vessel, “Is he dead?”, he asked so as his eyes were incredibly open.

Wu Dahu clenched his fists and punched heavily onto the lid of the coffin, he lowered his voice,  roaring, “Where are Hualian’s parents? Where did you lock them up?”

Another shock hit Zhai Su in his mind as Wu Dahu became rather outraged with such a violent action. As he was about to lecture Wu Dahu, he got his expression changed, and then asked strangely, “What are you talking about? Don’t tell me that you’re going crazy about his death!?”

Hualian rushed up suddenly and then kneed down in front of Zhai Su while hugging tight on Zhai Su’s leg, begging, “Master, the mission is completed. Please!! Let go of my parents! Please!”

Zhai Su failed to break free from Hualian, he frowned at Wu Dahu and raised his voice, shouting, “What are you waiting for? Come and get this bastard out from me!”

Wu Dahu looked at Zhai Su with disappointment and resignation, as if it was the first time for him to meet someone who was so shameless and cheeky.

He took out the dagger from his back showing no interest to waste more time, and then he approached to threaten Zhai Su by placing the dagger around on Zhai Su’s neck, saying, “HAND US HUALIAN’S PARENTS, NOW! Wenxuan is with them and this is the last wish of Han!”

Zhai Su shook his head and felt the piercing pain on his neck. Knowing that Wu Dahu was kind of serious right at the moment, he complained in disappointment, “How dare to treat me like that? I am your femina father!”

Wu Dahu held the dagger tighter and pushed it fiercer on Zhai Su’s neck, then answered in coldness as he noticed the agony shown on Zhai Su’s face, “But Han is my son’s femina father, and you wanted to murder him!”

Finally, under the violent force of Wu Dahu, Zhai Su admitted and confessed, he struggled to open his mouth and answered, “I, I just wanted to sterilize him, I didn’t intend to kill him! Or you can get a doctor to check the powder out!”

“As for the parents of Hualian, it’s totally a nonsense! I am not a person who would choose to do something dirty like that!”

Hualian suddenly raised his head and fell to the ground, murmuring, “How is that possible? You are lying! My family is gone! They were all taken away by that strange old man!”

“Old man?” Zhai Su squinted, and then sneered, “Then you should go and visit that so-called old man you just mentioned. What? How am I supposed to know him?”

Hualian shook his head and answered in disbelief, “You made him to do something like that! What’s the use I go for him? You’re the master of him!”

Zhai Su said sternly, “I had NEVER ordered anyone to get Song Qinghan’s life!”

As the situation came to a deadlock, Wu Dahu frowned tight and got his face sullen suddenly, he shouted, “Then let’s get that old man here, and we’ll see who’s telling the LIE!”

Zhai Su echoed without fear, “Alright! Remove the dagger now, I will go and call someone to get him!”

Wu Dahu let go of Zhai Su. And Zhai Su went outward, he ordered something to the man who was guarding outside and then came back.

He glanced at Song Qinghan in the coffin and said flatly, “The departed one can not come back again. Since he was gone, you should get yourself a new life. I have already selected some femina men for you, and they’re coming very soon. I will get everything settled and prepare a wedding ceremony for you if you pick one of them out. OR, maybe some of them.”

“Oh, right.” he continued as if he was quite excited for the upcoming marriage for his “son”, “Your residence is too small. Hurry up and move over. If you’re worried that you won’t be able to deal with yourself when he comes, then I will ask someone to separate a side house in his mansion for you. When your new husband gives birth to a child, I will build another mansion for you.”

Of course, Wu Dahu didn’t feel moved at all but his mind was filled with full of negative emotion to his “Femina father” in name. Hearing the heartless words from Zhai Su, he asked in a mocking tone, “A new husband? Child? How about Little Shitou?”

Zhai Su took a glance at Little Shitou who was sleeping peacefully in Wu Dahu’s arms, he showed a bit sympathy for the little infant, dithered for a while and then sighed with resignation, saying compassionately, “For the peace in our family within this big mansion, I will help you take good care of him if your new husband gives birth to a new baby. Don’t worry, I won’t treat him bad. But principle is right there, I can’t offer him more than the new baby. Alright?”

Wu Dahu shook his head mockingly without words as he noticed that Zhai Su was immersing himself in his own imaginary scenario.

Today, he finally expanded his horizon about how selfish a man could be. He could find the answer thoroughly from Zhai Su.

Not long, a familiar figure appeared in front of them. “It’s you!” Wu Dahu frowned and shouted.

The female man glanced at him and lowered his head guiltily. “Good to see you, Master, Young Master…”

“Alright now! Tell us everything about how I ordered you to do! Tell them what I ordered and what you did. Otherwise, he will never give up looking at me like that as if I had long been a murder.”

Zhai Su interrupted. He glanced at Wu Dahu from the corner of his eye and a trace of unease flashed across his face.

The femina man raised his eyelids to look at Hualian who was “paralyzed” and collapsed on the ground with evilness fulfilled his eyes, he pursed his lips, and then answered respectfully, “Master ordered me to get him a servant who was submissive and well-behaved. Clear background and no servant experience would be two of the most important prerequisites. In that case, I found Hualian was the most suitable candidate. And later on, Master delivered me a pack of powder and asked me to order Hualian to put them into the water and let Young Mistress drink. I had been strictly obedient to the orders. And these are all I know, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me, Young Master.”

After that, he kneed down suddenly and kowtowed heavily on the ground just as he did that day in front of Wu Dahu’s house.

Hualian pounced on the femina man all of a sudden, grabbed his collar and said with wrath, “Why didn’t you mention the fact you kidnapped my parents? How about my parents?? Let them go!”

The old femina servant still kneed on the ground with embarrassment, he opened his eyes wide, denying, “What are you talking about? How am I supposed to know where your parents are?”

And then it was Wu Dahu who took the next action, he got his expression sullen and put the dagger on the old femina servant’s neck, roaring in a threatening tone, “How about the poison thing? Why was it a forbidden drug leaked from the Palace?”

Zhai Su pondered and he finally realized something was wrong. He frowned and asked, “Wait, what? What do you mean about “Forbidden Drug”? What I delivered to him was just some powder which would just sterilize a femina man, it was just a kind of normal method for avoiding pregnancy. If you don’t believe me, I will convince you by getting a doctor here.”

The old femina servant stammered as his pupils trembled violently, “I was just taking actions in accordance to Master’s orders, Young Master, it wasn’t my fault!”

Wu Dahu did not have the patience to talk to him again. He realized now that though Zhai Su was the chief plotter of the whole evil matter, the chief criminal who got Song Qinghan poisoned should be the petty old femina servant.

The dagger in his hand turned over and pierced into the old servant’s thigh. Seeing the old femina servant screaming painfully, Wu Dahu threatened him in coldness, “Tell us everything! What’s the problem about the drug? And where are Hualian’s parents? If you still keep your damn mouth shut like that, you will witness yourself being torn on the flesh piece by piece!”

And then, he pulled out the dagger, and peeled a piece of skin on the old femina servant’s knee.

The old femina servant had long been by Zhai Su’s side serving him for quite a long while, and he was used to playing bunch of  tricks. Though his life wasn’t that kind of affluent, he still got a rich life without any worries. Well, that was to say, it was such an agony for him to get a stab in the flesh and then another pain from being torn with his skin. Thus he wailed loudly with sobs between breaths before Wu Dahu took another action, “I confess, I confess! Young Master, spare my life.”

“I replaced the medicine, but I never thought of murdering Young Mistress. I just intended to incur the change of his emotions, and thought that probably you would drift apart with him day by day…”

Seeing that he was still arguing at this point, Wu Dahu sneered and mercilessly peeled the second piece of skin on the old femina servant’s knee, roaring menacingly in a low voice, “Where are Hualian’s parents?”

The old femina servant cried fiercely, but he still refused to tell Wu Dahu about the exact location as if he knew Hualian’s parents were his last life-saving straw, “I forgot about the precise location since it’s been a long while! I’ve gotten a bad memory, Young Master, please forgive me about for that!”

“BUT!” he hurriedly shouted before Wu Dahu took his third action, and then he licked his lips which were extreme dry because of the fright, saying weakly as if he was about to die away, “I am able to find the place without the clear memory! I can lead you the way as long as you let me go, Young Master.”
