Gu Xin felt a little better and wasn't so sad anymore.
She sighed and looked at the guard from the Qian family who was carrying a bucket of well water. She still hadn't changed her mind.
This kept Zhong constantly alert, so that he could clearly feel the despair and the hopelessness of life.
"Pour it on!" Gu Xin coldly ordered.
The guard poured a whole bucket of well water onto Zhong's body.
At this moment, the guests who were already resting in the inn heard the noise and many of them came out dressed.
Seeing this scene upon coming out was quite shocking.
Why did Princess Xin Xin suddenly get angry?
Anyone could sense Gu Xin's current emotions.
"Ah!" Zhong woke up and let out a scream.
Her eyes were cloudy, and her body kept twisting. Soon, her cloudy eyes cleared again, followed by terror. She made muffled noises, and it was impossible to tell what she was saying.
Gu Xin took two steps forward, removed the gag from her mouth, bent one knee, and pinched her chin: "Did you see Qiangzi? Did you see Qiangzi coming to kill you again?"
Zhong's gaze wasn't on Gu Xin at all, but rather on the surrounding air: "No, don't kill me. It wasn't me, I didn't do it. Qiangzi, go find Liu An, find Liu An!"
Gu Xinqiang twisted Zhong's head, making her look at her.
"Why are you looking for Liu An? Qiangzi could have broken free; he could have broken free from Liu An. But you're going to help Liu An, to help your godfather, aren't you?" Gu Xin asked coldly.
"No, I didn't! I'm not, I'm not!" Mrs. Zhong shook her head frantically.
“You didn’t, you’re not him, then why does Qiangzi only look for you and not Liu An? We’ve already caught Liu An, he’s right here. Why can’t Liu An see Qiangzi, but only you can? Because, in Qiangzi’s eyes, it’s you. It’s you, the one he thinks is his biological mother, who wants to kill him!” Gu Xin said coldly, loosening her grip.
As soon as Zhong turned her head, she saw Butcher Liu. She looked at Butcher Liu in horror: "You, didn't you run away? Didn't you say you were going to take his leg and run far away, so he wouldn't come back to take revenge on us!"
Butcher Liu had neither the mood nor the energy to pay attention to Madam Zhong.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhong screamed, "Ah!"
"Qiangzi, don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Mother didn't mean this, Mother didn't mean this. Don't look for your mother, I am your mother! You can't do this." Zhong's strength seemed to suddenly increase, and she actually broke free from Gu Xin.
She was bound, but even after breaking free, she could only roll a short distance.
The guests who had come to watch the spectacle dared not approach, fearing that Zhong's madness would harm them, the innocent ones.
Gu En took the silver needles down and handed them to Gu Xin.
Gu Xin picked one out, took a couple of steps, squatted down, and said, "You want to go crazy, huh? Well, I'll make sure you don't. Let me tell you, with me here, I'll keep you conscious at all times, and make sure you see Qiangzi every single moment. You're his mother? You don't deserve to be."
After saying that, Gu Xin plunged her needle into Zhong's acupoints, and Zhong fainted.
Gu Xin took a few more sticks and stuck them into Zhong's head.
A short while later, Mrs. Zhong woke up, looking somewhat dazed, but no longer as frantic as before.
Gu Xin removed the silver needles and looked at her coldly.
“Mrs. Zhong, can you still see Qiangzi? He’s right next to you. He’s asking, ‘Mother, why are you helping a man kill me?’ Did you hear that?” Gu Xin said slowly.
