Jiang Yuetong only realized after her rebirth that she was in a book world.
Recalling her fate as a cannon fodder villainess in her previous life, she felt unwilling to accept it.
She, ...
Even after being thrown to the ground, Wen Tian dared not utter a sound, her lips trembling uncontrollably with fear: "Master...Master has never mistreated his subordinates. It is my own fault."
At this moment, she already knew that what she had done before was now known.
Now all she can do is beg for mercy.
As she spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, crying as she said, "Wu Ran and I are truly in love. Please grant us your blessing, Master!"
"What I took was stolen by a madman, and I will return it twofold in the future. I beg you, my lord, to spare my life for the sake of my many years of service to you!"
Jiang Yuetong tapped her fair hand on the table repeatedly. Wen Tian, kneeling below, closed her eyes in despair when she received no response for a long time.
"Why did you try to persuade Yao Yao not to cultivate?" Jiang Yuetong raised her chin slightly, looking at her with a cold expression.
A look of fear flashed in Wen Tian's eyes.
She kowtowed several more times, her forehead bleeding profusely, and she bent over, not daring to raise her head.
"My lord, you've been wronged! I absolutely did not say such a thing to the Second Miss."
Jiang Yuetong smiled coldly, leaned back, and found a comfortable position.
She smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, swear an oath in order to convince me."
Wen Tian's body stiffened and she dared not move, but she was actually gritting her teeth. After a long while, she looked up in disbelief, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes staring at Jiang Yuetong.
"My lord, am I not telling the truth?"
"No, it's not that. I really want Yao Yao to cultivate diligently. You've been by my side for so long, and you can't even see that? Or are you doing this on purpose?!"
With a "bang," Jiang Yuetong threw the teacup off the table, hitting Wen Tian squarely on the head.
Qingfeng quickly advised, "Master, calm down! Don't get angry with this kind of person and hurt yourself."
A few days ago, he received a message from his master instructing him to return secretly without revealing his whereabouts. He suspected that something big had happened, but he never expected that his own people had betrayed him.
She even angered her master, and Qingfeng now wishes he could skin her alive!
Jiang Yuetong took a deep breath, her expression unchanged, and said calmly, "Let me ask you, are all the pills you took gone now? And then you stole Yao Yao's jade token, how many more do you want to take?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Tian clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging into her palms as if she didn't feel it.
"Since you refuse to talk, I'll have the men in the dungeon torture you and see how long you can keep up your stubbornness! Theft is no small crime."
Jiang Yuetong curled her red lips slightly and let out a cold laugh.
She said this calmly, but Wen Tian was so frightened that she trembled. Huanhai Prefecture had dungeons, water dungeons, and dark dungeons. As one of the four leaders of Huanhai Prefecture, she naturally knew that the people in the dark dungeons were extremely cruel.
"Please spare my life, Master!" Wen Tian knelt humbly, but still refused to speak.
"It seems you have deep feelings for Wu Ran. Even though you're about to die, you're still thinking of him and don't want to drag him into this."
At this point, a ruthless glint flashed in Jiang Yuetong's dark eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "How come I never noticed before? I should have just let you two be together back then."
Wen Tian felt a chill in her heart.
It seems our master knows everything.
Since that's the case, she has nothing left to worry about. She's going to die anyway, so she has to vent her anger, or she won't die in peace.
"I never intended to betray you, my lord. If it weren't for your favoritism back then, I wouldn't have had any dealings with Wu Ran, let alone fallen in love with him. In the end, it's all your fault, my lord!"
