Looking at their hypocritical expressions, Shen Qingtang smiled faintly and said, "Since you think we should save him, why don't you go? Go out now and search in the direction of the wind. Maybe we can catch up with Lin Sanlang."
Upon hearing this, those who had just agreed immediately fell silent; the wind outside the cave was still howling.
The sand and stones hit the cave walls with a "bang, bang" sound.
Going out at this time is tantamount to suicide; nobody wants to gamble with their life.
Madam Pei choked for a moment, her eyes flickering as she couldn't speak, and could only awkwardly turn her face away.
"You're vicious! You didn't want to save anyone at all!" Lu Jiaojiao jumped up and down, cursing. She had just been slapped by Shen Qingtang and was holding back her anger, wanting to vent it through this incident.
Shen Qingtang was too lazy to waste words with her. He reached out and grabbed Lu Jiaojiao by the collar, then threw her to the cave entrance where the wind was still blowing.
Sand and gravel blew in from time to time.
Lu Jiaojiao screamed and fell to the ground. Just as she was about to get up, a gust of wind made her stumble.
Fortunately, she instinctively grabbed the vines at the entrance of the cave and wasn't blown away. In the end, she managed to climb back in a disheveled state.
Everyone in the cave was startled by Shen Qingtang's actions.
A chill ran down my spine.
No one expected Shen Qingtang to actually take action, showing no mercy whatsoever.
Upon seeing this, Lin Peirou immediately rushed over and hugged Lu Jiaojiao, crying out, "Jiaojiao! Are you alright? Sister-in-law, you've gone too far! She's still a child!"
Lu Jin chimed in, "Shen Qingtang, you're so vicious! Even if she's not your biological daughter, you can't treat her like this! She's your child."
Shen Qingtang gave Lu Jin a cold look, the chill in her eyes making him shut his mouth instantly, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"She is your child with Lin Peirou, not mine." Shen Qingtang's tone was calm but carried an undeniable firmness.
“I didn’t do anything to her, I just let her experience what it’s like to be blown by the wind. It’s much more merciful than when she helped the Northern Desert people harm us before.”
Lu's mother immediately jumped in to defend her: "You're talking nonsense! Jiaojiao is a lucky child, the fact that she wasn't blown away just now proves it! You're just jealous of her good fortune, that's why you're deliberately bullying her!"
"Good fortune?"
Shen Qingtang scoffed, "Being used as a tool by your biological parents and only able to throw tantrums and curse after your adoptive mother exposes your identity, is that what you call a blessing? If that counts as a blessing, then I really hope your family is always full of 'blessings'."
Lu's mother was speechless after being rebuked, and could only hold Lu Jiaojiao anxiously.
The cave fell silent again, with only the howling wind outside. Everyone understood that Shen Qingtang wasn't buying into any moral blackmail.
Anyone who dares to mess with her will only be asking for trouble.
After Lu Jiaojiao climbed back into the cave, the malice in her eyes did not diminish at all, and she stared intently at Shen Qingtang.
She then glared venomously at Pei Nian'an.
In her opinion, if Pei Nian'an hadn't stolen Shen Qingtang's attention...
Shen Qingtang might still be as obedient to her as before.
So she also came to hate Pei Nian'an.
His eyes were so sinister that they didn't look like a child's; even Old Master Shen couldn't help but frown when he saw them.
He muttered to his father in a low voice, "This girl has a sharp eye. Just like her parents, she's never been a good person."
Seeing this, Lu Jin suddenly seized the opportunity, struggled to his feet, and shouted to the crowd, "Don't believe Shen Qingtang! Jiaojiao is not my and Lin Peirou's child! Blood test is completely invalid; she deliberately set it up! It's all fake!"
