But today, she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't suppress it. It felt like something was tearing her chest apart, and her throat was filled with the taste of blood.
She almost couldn't resist rushing out the door to clear those things out of the Qiao family's house in time and save their fate.
But she ultimately held back.
She had no choice. If the Qiao family existed, the Du family's injustice would not be redressed; if the Du family's innocence was cleared, the Qiao family would not exist.
If you have to hate someone, you can only hate God for making such an arrangement.
The search party arrived at the Qiao family's gate.
The eldest prince, Deputy General Chen, and his ilk displayed an uncontrollable ecstasy and excitement on their faces.
We've finally arrived. They've been acting all day, and they must be exhausted.
Old Mrs. Joe and Old Mr. Joe were both there. Hearing that their house was going to be searched, the men also returned from the camp early.
I'm worried that those who conduct the search might be dishonest, especially with Deputy General Chen Pangda around; they might do something to the Qiao family.
Knowing that Pang Da was actually Song Laosan, who caused Qiao Xier's miscarriage, the Qiao family members looked at him with disgust and hatred. If it weren't for the presence of the Crown Prince and the First Prince, they would have personally given him a good beating.
Pang Da discovered that even though he had changed his name and appearance, the Qiao family's gaze towards him remained unchanged.
That deep hatred was exactly the same as before.
Do they already know his identity?
Ponda felt a sudden tension, as if he had been exposed after trying so hard to hide, like a rat in a sewer who had accidentally crawled out of the drain and looked up to see his enemy.
But after looking at the eldest prince and Vice General Chen standing to the side, he suddenly felt there was nothing to panic about.
So what if he knows? He has someone backing him. The eldest prince is the emperor's most favored prince. In other words, his backer is the emperor.
Moreover, the Qiao family is about to be destroyed, and he's just waiting to see their miserable and wretched state.
He wanted to see the entire Qiao family, young and old, kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy.
Thinking about how he was about to vent all the pent-up anger he had accumulated over the years, Ponda almost couldn't resist setting off fireworks ahead of schedule.
So he looked at the Qiao family with a smug smile.
The Qiao family was puzzled. His tongue was gone, and his tendons had been severed. What was Panda so smug about?
Does this mean they still need to keep a close eye on him to see what tricks he might pull?
The Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard detachments rushed to various pavilions, halls, and rooms.
"Father, you've been busy all day, but you haven't found anything, have you?" Pei Qingrong asked Second Master Pei.
"No one would really dare to collude with the enemy. It's probably just a rumor, a routine search. Don't be nervous," Second Master Pei said softly, seeing that Pei Qingrong's belly was already protruding.
Unexpectedly, Vice General Chen overheard this and immediately mocked, "What are you saying, Second Master Pei? It's just a routine search. Does Second Master Pei not take the Emperor's orders seriously? Second Master Pei is so confident that no one is colluding with the enemy. Do you know something and think those people will hide well?"
Upon hearing this, Master Pei became furious and glared at Deputy General Chen: "Nonsense! I was just comforting my daughter. My men searched patiently and thoroughly, without overstepping any rules or neglecting their duties. On the contrary, Deputy General Chen, your inner guards are dishonest. Several cases have been discovered, which will be reported to the Emperor. You should think about how to resolve this peacefully."
Deputy General Chen hadn't expected that Second Master Pei, who seemed to be a man of few words, would be so sharp-tongued, and was momentarily speechless.
He snorted: "Whether or not someone has colluded with the enemy is not up to Master Pei to decide. Heaven above will not let any evildoer go unpunished."
This time, the Imperial Guards treated everyone the same as before, without discrimination, while the Imperial Guards searched with exceptional care.
The Qiao family members were actually somewhat uneasy. With Pang Da and Deputy General Chen present, they were worried that this search might be specifically targeting the Qiao family. If someone wanted to find fault, they could easily find a pretext.
Looking at Lian'er's face, I saw that Lian'er remained calm.
At this moment, an inner soldier came out carrying an incense burner, saying as if he had found a treasure: "We found it! There's a letter hidden inside."
