Chapter 267:1 am Going to Kill the Sun Family
The pair of eyes that had never showed deference before were now misty with tears!
Tong Sanlang panicked immediately, “Don’t cry, don’t cry….”
He raised his hand, intending to gently touch her eyes, but stopped midway.
He pursed his lips, steeled his heart, and said through gritted teeth, “Miss Qiao, I mean no disrespect.”
He bent down and gently lifted the fabric covering her wound.
A grotesque gash more than a finger’s length long appeared before his eyes. The flesh was turned inside out and the bright red blood had seeped into the surrounding fabric, staining everything red.
The wound was still bleeding, Qiao Xiaomai’s knife had cut an artery.
He had been injured before, although not as severe as the wound before him, but he could imagine how painful it must be.
An indescribable heartache enveloped him. He couldn’t think about anything else. His hand shook a few times before he lifted the basin and carefully rinsed the wound.
“Why go through this?” His voice trembled.
There were other choices, why did she have to choose such a brutal path?
Yang Ye and the Headmaster Gu were obviously standing up for her, there was no need for her to go to such lengths.
Using the Spiritual Spring water to rinse the wound, the chilly feeling and pain mixed together. This made the mist in Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes condense into drops, causing a sour sensation in her nose and a burning sensation around her eyes. She took a breath, “I’ve had enough of the Sun Family.”
Cen Hong’s strict interpretation of the “Daqi Law” had been clear at that time and had obviously given him the upper hand.
Waiting for Headmaster Gu to hand over the petition to Emperor Yongan?
With Cen Hong the ‘whatever’ general around, who knew what kind of tricks he would pull before the Emperor passed judgment.
She would not tolerate being disgusted by the Sun Family anymore.
She would rather cut herself.
“And what if the Emperor thinks the same way as that damned general? I want to tell everyone, even if I, Qiao Xiaomai, dies, I will not accept the Sun Family as my grandmother.”
She was not really seeking death.
She knew, Tong Sanlang would save her.
Yang Ye wouldn’t let her die either.
As it turned out, both Yang Ye and that Feng Shui Master, Headmaster Gu were quite good. Seeing her injured, they immediately started to corner Cen Hong.
The pain she endured was not in vain.
Of course, she had also prepared for the worst scenario: showing weakness on the spot, and finding an opportunity to take Cen Hong to meet the King of Hell.
As for the consequences, surely Tong Sanlang and Yang Ye wouldn’t let her get Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami involved, right?
With this thought, she let out a sigh.
In the end, her dangerous move was still dependent on Tong Sanlang.
As Tong Sanlang carefully rinsed her wound, he responded, “But this is too dangerous, and how would you know that the Emperor wouldn’t issue a decree to sever the relationship?”
“Didn’t you say that the Emperor governs by piety? Would he change the ‘Daqi Laws’ that he established himself for a country girl like me?”
She wasn’t a toddler, she understood the old policies of governing by piety and keeping the people ignorant.
Would the Daqi Emperor change the ‘Daqi Laws’ for a country girl like her?
What a joke.
“What about now?” Tong Sanlang asked.
“I have made my stance clear. I would rather lose my life than accept Sun’s family. If the Emperor tries to force me…” Qiao Xiaomai bit her lip.
Damn it.
This damned “Daqi Law”!
Could she possibly go to the capital city to find the Emperor?
Damn it!
Why wasn’t her superpower something offensive like thunder or fire!
Seeing her fall silent, Tong Sanlang raised his gaze, looked at her, and said in a deep voice, “I will go and kill Sun’s family.”
“What?!”
The sound of Qiao Xiaomai’s surprised exclamation echoed in the room, her body shivered violently, and she wasn’t sure if it was out of shock or fear.
For a moment, she even forgot the intense pain in her body. Her eyes widened to their limit in surprise..
