In an instant, Shangguan Leiting's kind face changed completely, becoming fierce, cold, and ruthless...
After Shangguan Leiting learned of Shangguan Zong's murder, his pretense was instantly torn off.
It was also here, in the basement of the study...
Mo Shisheng looked around. She remembered that back then, hard shackles were fastened to her wrists, and her body was suspended.
In a daze, memories and reality seemed to overlap...
A figure leaning against the railing slowly approached. Mo Shisheng was covered in wounds, a slight mockery playing on her lips. "You all know I'm not of the Shangguan family bloodline, except for me, right?"
“You’ve been intelligent since you were little; you can spot even the slightest flaw.”
Shangguan Leiting's turbid eyes were filled with intense hatred, but his face remained calm. "You are not of the blood of my Shangguan family, yet the mistakes you and that witch committed are being borne by my son. You both deserve to die!"
Mo Shisheng listened quietly to Shangguan Leiting's words without saying a word, her eyes still cold and devoid of any emotion.
Suddenly, Shangguan Leiting seemed to have gone mad. He picked up a whip that was as thick as a woman's arm and began to lash Mo Shisheng's slender body repeatedly, without mercy.
Pain spread wildly through her body, blood seeped through her clothes, and Mo Shisheng's smile deepened. She spoke softly, "Grandpa, I can tell you hate me very much."
"Smack!"
The only response to Mo Shisheng was a powerful lash of the whip. Shangguan Leiting's body trembled violently with hatred. "The thought of raising such a scourge like you, who has left my son's life hanging in the balance, makes me want to kill you right now!"
The affection she once had for her children and grandchildren slowly vanished with each rise and fall of the whip. Shangguan Leiting's kindness and care for Mo Shisheng seemed to replay in her mind like a dream.
"Grandpa knew from the beginning that I wasn't a child of the Shangguan family. He raised me only for his own purposes. Obviously, I'm just a pawn in his game, aren't I? Since Grandpa has a use for me, why is he so angry with me now?"
Mo Shisheng scoffed lightly. She always saw things very clearly. Ten years. Shangguan Leiting could support her for ten years, but it was only because she had an ulterior motive.
"Yes, I raised you for over ten years only so that one day I could take revenge on that vixen! The one who should have been captured and taken to the Situ Kingdom was you! Not my son!"
At this moment, Mo Shisheng suddenly felt that people's hearts were indeed the most difficult to see through in the world. After all, Shangguan Leiting had been good to her since she was a child, and when she was reborn into this world, Shangguan Leiting also cared for her wholeheartedly.
Mo Shisheng deliberately tried to make herself feel more pain to prove that this was not a dream, but at this moment, because of Shangguan Leiting's words, she finally became more awake.
...
"hiss……"
Suddenly snapping back to reality by the pain, Mo Shisheng looked down at her palm. It turned out that she had been so lost in her memories that her fingernails had dug into her flesh, causing blood to seep out.
The stinging pain forced her thoughts back to her brain.
After her gaze returned to the ice coffin, seeing the bodies of Shangguan Leiting and Shangguan Zong lying together, Mo Shisheng spoke calmly, "Now that my mother and I have repaid our debts, and Shangguan Zong has returned to his roots, Shangguan Leiting, I, Mo Shisheng, owe you nothing more. We are even..."
