Qiao Ziming was trembling with pain, his body was covered in cold sweat, and he even fainted twice from the pain.
But after fainting for only a short while, Qiao Xiuyuan would ruthlessly "wake him up".
After Qiao Xiuyuan applied the medicine to Qiao Ziming, Qiao Ziming lay on the bed like a dead fish, and even her breathing gradually became weak.
“Your father is not suited for such delicate work. If only Xi’er were here, you wouldn’t have suffered so much.”
Qiao Ziming knew that what Qiao Xiuyuan meant was that if he hadn't divorced Su Muxi, he wouldn't be in this situation now.
Oh!
yes.
If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.
He must have been blind to have fallen for Bai Mengying!
"You knew all along that Granny Wu was Bai Mengying's person, and you knew all along what would happen at the literary gathering today, so everything you told me before was a lie."
Qiao Ziming murmured, his voice devoid of emotion, but his eyes revealed a sense of despair.
But Qiao Xiuyuan returned to his usual kind and loving demeanor, patiently explaining, "I only found out in the last few days that Wu Mama is Bai Mengying's person. As for Bai Mengying's plans, they are too obvious for me to not guess."
"As for your claim that I lied to you..."
“Zimo, you are my own son, how could I lie to you on purpose? I just know you too well, and I only said that because I hoped you could stay until the end of the literary gathering.”
Qiao Ziming sneered inwardly, forcefully propping himself up and looking at Qiao Xiuyuan, "Since you knew Xi'er went to the literary gathering, why didn't you stop her? Did you also predict that I would take that jar of green vitriol oil for Su Muxi?!"
“I’m not a fortune teller, so how could I possibly know so much?”
Qiao Xiuyuan slightly curled the corners of his mouth, as if joking.
Disbelief flashed in Qiao Ziming's eyes. "Have you considered what would happen if the green vitriol actually got splashed on Su Muxi's face...?"
"Wouldn't that be even better! If Xi'er's appearance is completely ruined and no one wants her, then we won't have to scheme so much!"
Qiao Xiuyuan interrupted Qiao Zimo before he could finish speaking, looking somewhat deranged.
At this moment, Qiao Ziming truly felt the terror of Qiao Xiuyuan, and his body trembled again, filled with indescribable complex emotions.
He promised to treat Su Muxi well, but he's still willing to use any means to achieve his goals...
Qiao Xiuyuan reached out and pinched Qiao Ziming's chin. "Don't doubt my feelings for Xi'er. No matter what Xi'er becomes, I will treat her like my own daughter, and I will never dislike her appearance! Unlike you, you lecherous scoundrel!"
After saying that, she forcefully shook off Qiao Ziming and continued, "But it's good that you were able to shield Xi'er from the green vitriol. Xi'er is the most soft-hearted. In the future, whenever she sees the wound on your back, she will think of how you got hurt for her."
"As for what I told you before, it still stands, but it will happen tonight."
"Take good care of yourself and try to get Xi'er pregnant tonight."
As she spoke, she stood up from the bedside and looked down at Qiao Ziming.
Looking at Qiao Ziming's disheveled appearance, his eyes were full of disdain.
"Look at you, all useless. I'm afraid you won't make it. But don't worry, your father has prepared some medicine for you."
Qiao Ziming only came to his senses after Qiao Xiuyuan left.
He clenched his fists, feeling immense shame and indignation in his chest.
What exactly is he to his father?
A tool that can make Su Muxi pregnant?
What is Su Muxi to his father?
Is a doll that can be used to express fatherly love when happy, and can also wield military power when it matters?
Qiao Xiuyuan checked the time and did not go to the palace immediately, but went to Qiao Zixi's room instead.
As soon as he pushed open the door, he smelled a foul odor mixed with a pungent smell, which made him wrinkle his nose.
"How could I, Qiao Xiuyuan, have given birth to such a stupid and useless daughter!"
When Chang Zhong saw Qiao Xiuyuan enter, he respectfully stood behind him.
He looked coldly at Qiao Zixi, who was lying motionless on the ground with her hands and feet bound by iron chains, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes.
Qiao Zixi was relieved when she saw that it was Chang Zhong who brought her back, thinking that she was fine after being locked up again.
To her surprise, Chang Zhong not only chained her hands and feet, but also dislocated her jaw and poured ferrous sulfate oil onto her thighs.
The pain made her roll on the ground and scream, and she even lost control of her bladder, but she couldn't utter a single word.
Gradually, she lost the strength to scream in pain and could only lie on the ground whimpering like a dead dog.
Throughout the entire process, Chang Zhong stood by, looking down at her as if he were watching a spectacle.
If it weren't for her father's orders, Chang Zhong would never have treated her like this.
Although she already knew her father wouldn't let her off easily, she never expected him to torment her like this...
Upon hearing Qiao Xiuyuan's voice, Qiao Zixi turned her face away and tried to say, "I laughed... I laughed..."
Qiao Xiuyuan raised an eyebrow. "You want me to kill you? Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so why would I kill my precious daughter?"
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zixi shed two streams of tears and closed her eyes in despair.
What kind of deep resentment could drive her father to torment her like this?
At that moment, she finally understood what it truly meant to wish for death but not be able to.
"And I promised you that I would definitely let you marry into the Pei family."
"Once the Pei family sets a wedding date, I will have these chains removed. Don't worry, I will make sure you live a good life."
