Chapter 1720: A piercing pain instantly swept through the whole body
Although Tang Bao once secretly thought that the high priest might be promiscuous and have many illegitimate children outside.
But when I think about the evaluation and respect that the people of Southern Xinjiang have for the high priest, as well as the secret yet strong feelings that the former Queen of Western Qin had for the high priest, I still feel that the high priest should not be that kind of scumbag father.
Even if she didn't trust the people in southern Xinjiang, she still believed in her adoptive mother who had just passed away.
She once thought that her stepmother was love-brained and would disregard the life and death of her own daughter for a man, but later she found out that it was not the case.
So, there might be some misunderstanding or hidden secret in the matter of pomegranate.
Tang Bao refused to admit it. It was only after listening to the little brother's analysis that she gradually got rid of her personal subjective prejudice against the high priest and looked at the matter and the high priest as a person from an objective perspective.
By the way, it was only after Tang Bao and others came to Southern Xinjiang that they found out that the high priest had no children.
It is precisely because of this that Pomegranate's feelings towards the high priest, her biological father, have become increasingly complicated.
Tang Bao can sense this.
"No need! Miss, I don't want to have a father like him anyway! It's important for us to do our business!" Shi Liu hesitated for a moment and said.
"Sister Pomegranate's matter is also serious." Tang Bao said seriously: "Whether Sister Pomegranate recognizes the high priest as her father or not, it does not conflict with Sister Pomegranate's investigation of her own life experience."
Tang Bao paused here, looked at Shi Liu with clear eyes, and continued: "Sister Shi Liu, ask yourself, don't you really want to know the truth? Don't you really want to know that you have a father of noble status, but ended up being a slave outside?"
Pomegranate:"……"
I opened my mouth, but no words came out.
She wanted to say she didn't want to, but—she did.
Tang Bao looked into Shi Liu's eyes and said, "Sister Shi Liu, don't you really understand why you want to compete with Yi Mo in everything?"
Pomegranate:"……"
She opened her mouth again, but under Tang Bao's clear gaze, she still couldn't say a word.
"Is it because you feel that Yi Mo stole your biological father's love for you and stole things that belong to you?" Tang Bao continued to ask.
This time Pomegranate did not hesitate.
"No!" he cried out, "I don't think that!"
"Oh, then Sister Pomegranate, why don't you want to find out the truth? What are you afraid of?" Tang Bao asked back, "Are you afraid that after the high priest knows your identity, he will deny that he has a daughter like you?"
Pomegranate:"……"
Pomegranate was like a cat whose tail was stepped on and almost jumped up.
"I'm not afraid! Do I need him to recognize me? It's even better if he doesn't! I don't even want to recognize him! It's not like I don't have a father. I..."
Shi Liu was filled with anger, but her voice became lower and lower. Under her mistress's gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, she slowly lowered her head.
She admitted that before she met Yi Mo, she had no feelings about having such a father and had no intention of recognizing him.
She just wants to stay with the young lady for the rest of her life.
However, after seeing Yi Mo, for some reason, something in her heart was stirring.
It was as if something in the blood was awakened, and there was a desire for blood ties.
"Miss, I want to know the truth." Shi Liu lowered her head, looking somewhat unwilling. "I want to know if he knew I was his daughter. If he knew, why didn't he send anyone to look for me? Why did he claim to have no children? Why was I taken to Dayan by my mother? Did he bully my mother? Or... does he simply not acknowledge us as mother and daughter?"
When Shi Liu finished speaking, she bit her lip and her eyes turned red.
Although she didn't have a deep impression of her mother, she knew that her mother loved her very much.
Tang Bao held Shi Liu's hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry, Sister Shi Liu, we will definitely find out the truth you want to know."
"Thank you, Miss." Pomegranate sniffed and said.
"You're welcome. Sister Shiliu's business is my business!" Tang Bao said in an affirmative voice.
Shi Liu has been with her since she was a child, and her family has long regarded Shi Liu as a family member.
Shi Liu's face immediately showed an expression of gratitude, and she said with red eyes: "It's great to have you here, Miss."
With the young lady around, she felt like she had a backbone.
On one side, the master and servant are as close as sisters, while on the other side, the master and servant are about to be killed in a bloodbath.
"Since there is no water, let's use blood!" Yi Mo shouted harshly.
Yi Mo said as he threw a dagger in front of Lu Yi.
The dagger reflected a faint blood light in the sunlight.
The blood immediately drained from Lu Yi's face. He glanced at the dagger on the ground and his body shook as if he had a stroke.
“Master, please spare me… Master, please spare me…”
The man in green kowtowed loudly, and blood soon seeped out of his forehead.
Yi Mo frowned, his face full of anger.
"Why, you don't want to?" Yi Mo asked grimly, his eyes looking at Lu Yi extremely cold.
Green-clothed man shuddered and was so scared that he could hardly breathe.
She seemed to see the scene where her master drained all her blood and then used her body to feed the poisonous insects.
After all, she had seen this situation more than once.
Except for her, all the maids who came with their master to escape the summer heat had been fed the poisonous insects raised by her master.
A strange smell emanated from under the green-clothed man's body, which scared him to death.
“…Master, please spare me…Master, please spare me…”
Lu Yi kowtowed desperately and now could only say this sentence.
The clothes on his body were already soaked with cold sweat and stuck to his body.
The whole person seemed to be fished out of the water.
Yi Mo became even more angry when he saw that Lu Yi refused to bleed him.
"Bitch! The only thing you have left that's of some use is this dirty blood on your body!" Yi Mo shouted viciously, "Since you're so ungrateful, then—"
A vicious smile suddenly appeared on Yi Mo's face. He bent down to pick up the dagger on the ground and looked at Lu Yi sinisterly.
Lu Yi looked up at Yi Mo, her face full of despair.
She knew that she would die today.
"Sister Yimo."
A crisp voice sounded, and Tang Bao came over with a water bag in her hand.
Yi Mo paused his movement to stab Lu Yi, his expression froze, and he turned his head to look at Tang Bao with a vicious look.
Tang Bao seemed not to notice the dagger in Yi Mo's hand, nor did she notice Yi Mo's vicious eyes. As if she had completely forgotten the unpleasantness that had happened between the two of them, she asked with concern: "Sister Yi Mo, how is your ankle? Does it still hurt?"
Yi Mo: “…”
A piercing pain suddenly came over me.
His body tilted and he almost fell to the ground.
The pain that had been ignored due to the emotional breakdown was felt again.
