Chapter 309
Bai Shan was also thinking: What kind of world is this?
It's so outrageous that even the kidnapper can call himself a benefactor.
Xue A Niang talked freely under her angry gaze, her voice still gentle as if it could soothe all the irritable thoughts in people's hearts, and asked her -
"Still not convinced? It's true, you've been stubborn since you were little. Others are afraid of hardship and pain, but you're the only one who isn't. You look quiet and shy, and you don't say a word, but you actually want to be the best in everything.
My mother has raised so many children, and you are the most useful one. But Bai Shan, why don't you understand? You can be stubborn, but if you are too stubborn, to the point of not knowing when to advance or retreat, then you will be unpleasant.
Mother loves you too, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you back home. Your father chased you like a mad dog, and mother was scared. She wanted to leave you many times, but when she saw how well behaved you were, she couldn't bear to do it, so she finally brought you home. Over the years, I taught you martial arts and how to do things... Mother has said it many times, it doesn't matter whether you are useful or not, what matters is that you are obedient and loyal. But you have grown up and have your own ideas.
What can A Niang do?
I had no choice but to sacrifice you. Fortunately, the Young City Lord gave you a glimmer of hope, but you are still so ignorant. Instead of expressing gratitude, you even want to kill my mother."
She shook her head helplessly, as if looking at an ignorant child.
"Don't you think about it? Your martial arts were all taught to you by your mother. If you couldn't handle it, why would your mother let you learn those things? You're afraid that you won't live a comfortable life. You're such a fool, always not using your brain."
Xue A Niang poked Bai Shan between the eyebrows.
Bai Shan's head leaned weakly against the wall. The tendons in her hands and feet were severed, and the strange flesh wings on her back were broken. She was nailed to the wall by the fan bones, cursing with difficulty: "You are a kidnapper... You really, really deserve to die... You still want me to call you mother... Shameless beast!"
"Child, don't say such harsh words. You were the one who called me the most cheerfully before, and you called me the most today. I can't bear to lie to you again, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a mess. You are the Young City Lord's man, so I can't kill you. Wait a moment, wait for the Young City Lord's order."
Bai Shan saw her about to leave and asked again, "Where are the people? Where did everyone go?"
She was talking about the brothers and sisters who were raised in the orphanage.
"You killed them all?"
Bai Shan had a bad feeling when he saw that she did not try to hide her past.
Mother Xue smiled and said, "How could that be? You are all treasures that Mother has collected with great difficulty. How could Mother let you die so easily? You child, you still think that something as important as the King Gu only has a nest, right? If that were the case, how could I trust you with my care?"
Bai Shan wasn't very smart, but at that moment, a sudden inspiration struck him: "They've become artifacts too?!"
"Oh, you're not completely stupid yet, you've realized it already," Xue A Niang listened carefully, "We have a guest coming. Guess, is it someone you know, or someone I know?"
Bai Shan had no intention of playing guessing games with her. It didn't matter to her who came. She felt like she was meeting Xue A Niang for the first time. Everything in the courtyard seemed so unfamiliar to her.
Shen Jiao stood outside the door, sniffing the strong smell of blood, and asked the kind-looking woman, "Is Bai Shan here? There's no need for me to take her back."
"Yes... Miss," Xue A Niang had seen her at the banquet. She smiled warmly, but said, "Since this is the Young City Lord's order, Miss, do you have your token with you? It's not that I don't trust you, but the City Lord said before that now is the time to be extra cautious, lest any spies sneak in. We must be careful in everything we do. Bai Shan knows a lot... We must always be cautious."
"Are you being too cautious?" Shen Jiao said, "Then wait. Send someone to ask her. I'll take her away after they've done their homework!"
Shen Jiao pushed Xue A Niang away and swaggered into the yard.
Xue A'niang didn't want to argue with her, so she could only swallow her breath and let her in.
Shen Jiao saw the white fan in the pool of blood at a glance.
"What's going on? Mother Xue doesn't like objects, is she just doing justice for the heavens?"
"Oh, Miss, you're joking. It was Bai Shan who wanted to attack me, so I attacked to protect myself. I guess... the Young City Lord... already knows about this, right?"
Xue A Niang asked tentatively.
I guess he thought something happened.
"If he doesn't know, he won't ask me to come and see," Shen Jiao said. "Wu Yong doesn't have the energy to deal with such trivial matters. I don't think Xue A Niang can be so incompetent as to deal with two objects that want to escape that she still needs his protection, right?"
"Yes, Miss is right. I am just curious as to why the Young City Lord would release the artifact."
"He's mentally ill. He knows I'm familiar with these two artifacts, so he's deliberately trying to make things difficult for me. Should I report this family matter to Mother Xue as well?"
Shen Jiao did not mention that Shen Wuyong sometimes became so weak that he lost control.
Of course, it wasn't because she was kind-hearted or caring about the brotherhood, but because she couldn't run away. Her fate was tied to those lunatics. If someone had bad intentions, the family of three would definitely use her as a shield.
And I'm afraid Shen Wuyong can't hide anything she says.
The suffering he endured in the poison pool is still fresh in his mind, and Shen Jiao doesn't want to go through it again in the short term.
So regardless of whether Xue A Niang believed it or not, she kept saying it. She couldn't ask any more questions, so she kept saying, "I dare not. Bai Shan is lucky to have met the young lady... If the Young City Lord has already handed this matter over to the young lady, then... it's entirely up to the young lady. Whether to kill her or take her away, I won't hesitate."
"No hurry, this is my first time in your courtyard, won't you treat me to a cup of tea?"
Shen Jiao looked around the large courtyard.
Xue A Niang said, "It was my fault for not thinking carefully. Please forgive me, Miss. I will go make tea right away."
Before she could even disappear, Shen Jiao looked at Bai Shan and said, "Did you get the answer? Were you kidnapped?"
"You're right," Bai Shan raised his bloodstained face and said, "I was... she abducted me... She still remembers that I had a father... But she doesn't remember where she abducted me from..."
Xue A Niang raised so many children that she has lost count of them all.
So she may be the daughter of Mr. Chen Qi, or she may not.
She thought it was ridiculous that a person couldn't figure out who her parents were when she was dying.
Shen Jiao kindly said, "Don't worry, I found something. Take a look at it, maybe you can remember something."
Shen Jiao grabbed the rope and handed a strangely shaped glass butterfly to Bai Shan, shaking it gently and saying, "Look at this, is it yours? This butterfly looks a lot like your birthmark..."
