Su Xi snatched the dagger from Fu Yu and held it menacingly against Li Xuemei's neck.
Su Rou cried until her voice was hoarse, "Xi'er, no..."
"To tell or not to tell."
The blade had already cut through Li Xuemei's flesh, leaving a bloody mark. If Su Xi used just a little more force, she could definitely cut open the other person's blood vessels.
Li Xuemei lay face down, fear had consumed her, and her face had turned a deep liver color.
She wanted to speak, but the dagger pressed against her neck terrified her, and her throat was so dry that she couldn't utter a single word.
"Don't waste your breath on her, let me handle this." Fu Yu lost her patience and kicked Li Xuemei in the stomach.
Keeping such a vicious woman around is just asking for trouble.
She refused to believe that anyone was unafraid of death.
Fu Yu's kick was quite forceful, and Li Xuemei spat out a mouthful of blood several meters away.
"I really am your mother, why don't you believe me... cough cough..."
Li Xuemei's old injuries had not yet healed, and now she had been beaten again. She was already on her last breath. After she finished speaking, her eyes gradually turned white and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Su Xi noticed that something was wrong with her and told Fu Yu to stop.
Before anyone could check on her, Li Xuemei suddenly foamed at the mouth and her face convulsed and turned bluish-purple.
"Sister Yu, put him down."
Fu Yu was completely bewildered. Could it be that her kick had caused the person to get sick?
She didn't delay and quickly put the person down.
"It seems to be food poisoning!"
Fu Yu, who had some medical knowledge, examined Li Xuemei and determined that she was suffering from poisoning. "Do you have a first-aid kit at home?"
Su Rou was terrified when she saw Li Xuemei like this, and stood there dumbfounded.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and get the first-aid kit," Su Xi ordered sternly.
Su Rou regained her senses and quickly ran out to retrieve it.
Fu Yu helped to save Li Xuemei, while Su Xi approached Su Rou and said coldly, "How could someone suddenly get food poisoning?"
"I have no idea."
Su Rou trembled all over, fearing that Su Xi would suddenly turn against her as well.
Su Xi just stared at her without saying a word. This inner torment made Su Rou's scalp tingle, and she couldn't help but bend her knees and beg for mercy.
“Xi’er, we really know we were wrong. I was willful and capricious before, always deliberately making things difficult for you and provoking you, and bullying you in various ways.”
“I shouldn’t have deliberately retaliated against you. After getting lost, I hid in the orphanage and didn’t go home, causing you to suffer all kinds of torment and abuse at home. I know you hate me, but can you please forgive us for the sake of our sisterhood?”
“I promise I will never do anything bad again, and I will never oppose you again. I will not fight you for anything in this house, as long as you give us a way to live.”
Su Xi bent down slightly, her eyes coldly fixed on her, "When you and your daughter trampled on me back then, did you ever think this day would come?"
"Su Rou, it's not that I don't want to let you go, it's that your mother doesn't want to let you go."
Su Rou didn't understand what she meant.
Su Xi gently patted her face, "As long as your mother tells the truth about my background, I can spare your lives."
"She said that you are her biological child."
"You believe what Ms. Li says?" Su Xi's cold gaze shot towards Li Xuemei, who seemed to have recovered after Fu Yu's efforts to save her.
Su Rou said, "She wouldn't lie to me."
should?
Su Xi scoffed coldly, "Even a dog that has just given birth knows to protect its puppies, let alone a human. Ever since I was old enough to understand, Ms. Li has been single-mindedly focused on you, completely disregarding my life or death. Is this something a biological mother would do?"
“Su Rou, if you had any brains at all, you would think about this carefully and not believe such nonsense.”
Su Rou stood still.
She wasn't without her doubts.
But these past few days she has been trying to test Li Xuemei, and Li Xuemei has always insisted that Su Xi is her biological daughter.
She is now unsure whether what Li Xuemei said is true or false.
"Try to persuade your mother to tell you everything, otherwise, what awaits you next will be even more painful torment," Su Xi advised, and sat back down on the sofa.
Fu Yu rescued the person and reported to Su Xi, "The person is fine, it's just food poisoning caused by eating persimmons and crabs."
"Cough cough."
Just as Fu Yu finished speaking, Li Xuemei, who had recovered, pressed her neck and coughed violently.
Blood and vomit were mixed together, and the air was filled with a foul odor.
Fu Yu covered her mouth with a look of disgust. "What should we do next? Take him back to Fengxiang Pavilion for interrogation?"
Li Xuemei is not as easy to deal with as Su Rou.
The former is an old demon who has cultivated for decades and has a heart harder than stone, while Su Rou is timid and easily persuaded to speak.
The same method can produce different results when used on two different people.
But once inside Fengxiang Pavilion, even the toughest of bones will eventually have to spit something out.
"Take it away." She was losing patience.
Since the Su family's downfall, no matter what methods she uses, Li Xuemei has only revealed a partial truth. She hasn't uttered a single word of what she wants to know.
If she continues to waste time, when will she ever find out the answer?
“Now that we’re in Fengxiang Pavilion, I’ll see how long this vicious old woman can hold out.” Fu Yu cracked her wrists, her knuckles making a popping sound.
It appeared particularly menacing in the silent environment.
After warming up, she strode over to Li Xuemei, hoisted her onto her shoulder, and then glanced at Su Rou, "By the way, should we take this woman with us?"
Let's go together.
Su Xi was thinking that with Su Rou around, perhaps Li Xuemei would come to her senses and compromise.
"Where are you taking me? I don't want to go, I don't want to..." Two masked men burst in and immediately grabbed Su Rou and took her away.
Su Rou cried out in fear, "Su Xi, please give me a chance!"
"If you want a chance, just listen to the rules, and you'll have a good life."
Su Xi sat on the sofa for a long time until the noise outside stopped, then she stood up to leave.
Just as she stepped out of the gate of the Su family villa, a figure suddenly rushed out from the green belt, holding something in his hand and splashing it towards her.
The air was filled with a pungent, corrosive smell.
Su Xi's first reaction was that it was sulfuric acid.
"Go to hell!"
A vicious female voice rang in my ears.
Su Xi stared wide-eyed ahead, and a woman wearing a baseball cap grinned at her.
Most people probably wouldn't be able to avoid it.
But Su Xi is no ordinary person; she can't be hurt so easily.
She watched helplessly as the sulfuric acid was splashed onto the door. She leaned back to avoid it, but the sulfuric acid splashed all over the door and immediately corroded it.
The other party, unwilling to give up, continued to splash water. Su Xi dodged past and kicked her in the lower abdomen.
With a scream of "Ah!", the other person's body flew several steps away.
The ground was covered in bubbling sulfuric acid, a highly concentrated and corrosive precursor chemical.
