Hearing the other person's cold tone, Ling Qingxiao's heart skipped a beat. She didn't understand why the other person was suddenly so indifferent to her. Could it be that she had noticed something?
Probably not... They showed her what a tyrant looked like, and she's already filled with fear. She should be very dependent on them, and most likely wouldn't rely on the tyrant.
Yes, that's it. She shouldn't be nervous.
"Wange, why are you so cold? Did something happen?"
When Wan Ge looked at her, there was a hint of arrogance in her eyes, befitting her high position. At this moment, the demeanor of a noble lady from a prominent family appeared before Ling Qingxiao.
Wan Ge slapped the other person across the face: "What did you just call me?"
"Wange, what's wrong?" Ling Qingxiao stepped forward to grab her sleeve, but Wange took a step back.
He simply looked at her and said calmly, "If I shouted right now that there was an assassin, what do you think you would do?"
"You! What do you want to do?" Ling Qingxiao subconsciously took a few steps back.
When Wan Ge saw her like this, she burst out laughing. Then, with a smile, she stepped forward and gently took her hand: "Oh dear, why are you so nervous, Sister Qingxiao? I was just joking with you. You don't need to be so nervous."
Seeing that she was just like usual, Ling Qingxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death! I thought..."
She thought Wan Ge had discovered something and that's why she wouldn't listen to her anymore.
"What did you think, sister?" Wan Ge blinked innocently, her beautiful eyes looking at her quietly.
"It's nothing, I just thought you were scared."
Upon hearing this, Wan Ge immediately lowered her head, looking extremely aggrieved: "How can I not be afraid? I'm so scared I'm sick. That tyrant... he's been bullying me all along."
What Wan Ge said wasn't wrong; every time she begged for mercy, he would just coax her without stopping his actions.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you." Seeing that her expression didn't seem fake, Ling Qingxiao immediately took out a package.
Wan Ge opened her eyes wide and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Just as Wan Ge reached out to take a look, she suddenly heard a commotion not far away – the sound of hurried yet synchronized footsteps.
Then they heard many people shouting, "Come over here quickly, we must find them and have a good talk with them."
Ling Qingxiao immediately put the things away: "Oh no, someone's coming. It might be the tyrant's men who took you back. I'll go this way. You hurry out, and they won't look for you anymore once they see you."
Wan Ge nodded, thinking to herself that the other party was really something, letting her out so that she could buy time to escape. She could escape, but if she was caught, she would have to bear the wrath.
This happened time and time again, how could Xie Wenjun not be angry?
However, now is not the time to break off relations, so Wan Ge obediently walked out on her own initiative.
Looking up, I saw Xie Wenjun in a fit of rage.
Xie Wenjun's face was gloomy, as black as the bottom of a pot. When he saw her, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
"Husband... my lord... um..."
Before Wan Ge could say anything else, her mouth was gagged. The next second, Xie Wenjun took the rope handed to him by someone and tied Wan Ge's hands together.
Before Xie Wenjun tied her hands, he saw the red marks on her hands from where he had pinched them. A hint of heartache flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
