"Song Laosan, you bastard! You know best whether my little sister is crazy or not. You just don't want her to talk, you want to shut her up!" Qiao Laosan shouted.
“Yuanyi, from now on you are not allowed to utter a single word. Just now when I asked you a question, your answer was ambiguous.”
"So I won't ask you for an answer."
General Guan spoke up; his emotions had calmed down considerably, and he only wanted to know the truth.
How could Song Laosan stand by and watch the truth be revealed? He opened his mouth to speak, but was forced back down by a cold glare from General Guan.
“I don’t care what the Qiao family says, I just want my father-in-law to believe me.”
"Alright, as long as you're trustworthy." General Guan readily agreed.
Song Laosan choked.
General Guan looked at Qiao Yunni: "You and Yuan Yi were once husband and wife? And you had a son and a daughter, the daughter being this little girl in front of you."
Now that it was confirmed, Song Laosan's face turned pale, and any lingering hope he had was completely shattered.
"Yes," Qiao Yunni answered truthfully.
"What year did you two get married?"
"Thirteen years ago, in the year of Jia Shen, my daughter Lian'er was born. She is now twelve years old."
General Guan was a little surprised because he thought Qiao Lian'er was only eight years old.
"On the day of the levy, Song Yuanyi almost killed your daughter."
"That's right, fortunately General Chu blocked an arrow."
After Song Yuanyi returned to his hometown, did you look for him and try to reunite with him as a relative?
“Never.” Qiao Yunni answered firmly: “Because we know he has become General Guan’s son-in-law, we don’t want to disturb his new family, and I would not hurt another woman. I think he must have new children, and the children are innocent.”
She didn't tell General Guan that she actually had no feelings for Song Laosan at all.
Answer from a perspective that benefits General Guan; that will be advantageous to them.
General Guan showed a hint of emotion.
"But he... he won't let our Qiao family go. He came to warn us, and today he arrested us again. My brother and I were just going to the market when we ran into him. We didn't offend him at all." Qiao Yunni sobbed, her shoulders trembling, looking pitiful.
"He's afraid that the existence of our Qiao family will let General Guan know that he was once married, and thus he will lose everything he has now. So he wishes he could kill our entire Qiao family, not even his own daughter." Qiao Yunni was filled with grief and indignation, her facial features distorted with emotion.
Qiao Lian'er almost couldn't help but give Qiao Yunni a thumbs up; her mother could act so well.
Although they were used to Song Laosan's actions and they were no longer bothered by them, they still had to put on a show of emotion in front of General Guan and try to influence his mood as well.
Sure enough, General Guan slowly tightened his grip on the sword.
“Song Yuanyi, I have always trusted you. As you wished, I let you marry my daughter and entrusted you with important responsibilities, making you a captain even without any military achievements.”
"But only today did I realize that from the very beginning, you were scheming, and you had not a single bit of sincerity in your heart."
"You are so heartless and cruel, it is an outrage against heaven and earth. I was truly blind."
Before he could finish speaking, the sword was already drawn, flashing across the snow, and pressed against Song Laosan's chest.
"You really disappoint me."
