But there's no way, isn't he really scared?

Who knew that the woman in front of him would be so bold, not even considering the possibility that she would die if she made a slight mistake.

Chu Yan naturally couldn't say such life-threatening words a second time, let alone say it in front of so many brothers.

Without saying anything, he simply started to play dumb:

"Ah? What sister? Did I say that? Definitely not. Marshal Shi must have heard it wrong. I would never say such a thing!"

Shi Qingxue snorted coldly, "If you were truly cruel, you would have started with the Feng family last night and settled the score one by one. Why would you wait for your brother to confess in person today?"

Chu Yan: “…”
