“Snap—Snap—Snap—”

Zhao Jinhai didn't show any mercy to them and immediately whipped the ones who made the most noise.

"When is it your turn to speak in this team? Since you want to take the rope bridge, go ahead and scout the way for us. We will leave after you have safely crossed it!"

"Who is not afraid of death? Stand up now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the exile team fell silent.

They really didn't want to go back. But if they were asked to explore the way ahead, they would feel like they were being forced to go to the execution ground.

They were all frightened and dared not move forward.

The Li and Wang families in the exile team had always respected Xiao Huaishuo's character, and now they also spoke up for them:

"Brother Huaishuo was famous for his good observation skills on the battlefield. He must have discovered that the bridge was not maintained, so he suggested that we change the route."

"Yes, when it comes to matters of life and death, it is better to believe it than not to believe it. I, Li Da, believe in Brother Huai Shuo!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions were gradually calming down, many people had no choice but to follow the officials back even though they were unwilling.

Su Qingrou's eyes flashed with resentment, and she suddenly yelled:

"I won't go back! Su Qingning is asking us to go back and take the official road now. It's obvious that he wants to kill us all!"

"Just now when I was at the post station, I heard from passing soldiers that tigers have been spotted on several nearby roads recently."

"Su Qingning clearly hates us Su family members and wants to lure us over to be eaten by the tiger. She is protected by the Xiao family members and will naturally escape. Although the other people in the exile team are not her targets of revenge, everyone is very tired now and will definitely not be able to escape the tiger's mouth!"

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she started to act weak again.

"Wuwu... Actually, this can't be blamed on my sister. Rouer and my sister grew up together and she knows best how difficult it is for her."

"My sister lost her mother when she was young. Although everyone in the Xiangfu loves her very much, she is prone to extreme behavior because she has lost the love of her biological mother. Please understand her difficulties and don't hold it against her."

Her words stirred up a huge uproar.

But no one believed her and began to blame Su Qingning; many people also remembered the rumors they had heard at the station before, and now they would not dare to go back even if they were beaten to death.

"Hey - I knew that Rou was the kindest girl. Her sister had done such a thing, but she still wanted to plead for her sister."

"Some people saw those tigers with their own eyes. You can't prove that there is something wrong with this bridge. Let's just take the rope bridge!"

"Alas - we are not as healthy as the Xiao family. We are exhausted just walking this early. How can we have the energy to go back?"

Some people were so frightened by the thought of the terrible beast that they simply lay down and rolled around.

"Wuwu... We are exiled prisoners, not death row inmates. Our lives are lives too! How can you be so cruel?!"

"Woo woo... We'll be eaten by tigers if we go forward anyway, why don't you just kill us now!"

Seeing that the situation was getting increasingly out of control, even the beatings and scoldings from the police were no longer effective.

Su Qingning and Xiao Huaishuo both couldn't help but frown.

Su Qingrou saw Xiao Huaishuo's expression, but she thought he believed her and began to dislike Su Qingning.

He was secretly delighted and prepared for one final trick to completely wipe out Su Qingning in his heart.

"Wuwu...Rou'er guaranteed with her own life that our Su family has never treated your sister badly before..."

"After all, my sister lost her mother when she was young. No matter how attentive the aunts were, they still failed to take good care of her. That's why my sister was bullied by some evil slaves. I guess that's why my sister resents our Su family."

Su Qingrou had an aggrieved look on her face, and as she spoke she rushed towards Xiao Huaishuo.

"Wuwu... Rou'er, I don't know what sister and brother Xiao said, but can't we solve the misunderstanding between our two families privately? Why does sister have to implicate innocent people? Do you have to take everyone to the official road where tigers roam?"

Xiao Huaishuo was startled when he saw this man rushing towards him without saying anything. He turned his wheelchair and took several steps back.

He hurriedly looked at Su Qingning like a child who had done something wrong.

"I...I didn't even touch the corner of her clothes."

Su Qingning: …

There's no need to be so nervous.

After all, Su Qingrou's mother was a famous courtesan in the capital. She herself was also very beautiful and was always favored by men.

I never thought Xiao Huaishuo would run away so easily.

She missed the throw, lost her balance, and fell flat on her face.

"Brother Xiao...?"

Su Qingrou raised her head, her face full of disbelief.

Looking up at Xiao Huaishuo at a 45-degree angle, his eyes were filled with indescribable affection and grievance.

"Get lost!"

Xiao Huaishuo didn't even bother to look at her again, and hurriedly turned his wheelchair and took a few steps back.

Looking at the deep disgust in his eyes, Su Qingrou felt that her last fantasy about this world was shattered.

All that's left is a tremendous hatred for this world.

When she turned around, she saw Su Qingning standing not far away, looking at her with a sneer on his face.

Why did she laugh at her?!

On what basis?!

Su Qingrou suddenly felt hatred in her heart, and rushed towards Su Qingning like a cannonball, wanting to knock her off the cliff together.

Anyway, her life has been ruined by these people, and she doesn't want to live anymore!

But before she died, she wanted Su Qingning to be buried with her!

"Ning Ning!"

“Sister-in-law!”

Something unexpected happened, and the Xiao family members who were standing far away ran over like crazy to save Su Qingning.

"Hahahaha—Su Qingning, go to hell!"

Su Qingrou's face gradually became distorted with craziness, and she suddenly felt extremely happy in her heart.

Why is Su Qingning so high and mighty just because she is the daughter of the Su family, while she is only worthy of being trampled into the dirt?

Su Qingning, who she couldn't get, couldn't get it either!

Ma Wo, Su Qingning would also fall into the mud and be shattered like her!

Su Qingrou watched as her body was about to be hit by Su Qingning.

I just felt that my emotions were at their highest point at this moment, and I couldn't help but flare my nose and my eyes widened several times.

But suddenly I heard Su Qingning's extremely calm voice.

"Oh……"

"Sister, guess why I've been standing on the edge of the cliff?"

"Of course it's because... I'm waiting here to see you off for the last time..."
