Chapter 496 A Family of纨绔 (Wán kù, a spoiled and dissolute family) Implicates and Kills the Entire Court (49)
At this moment, Jin Qi was like a fledgling bird pushed out of its nest, staring blankly at Jin Chuyao who had already gone far away, muttering to herself.
"Sister Chu Yao...you...you don't want me anymore either..."
"Sister Chu Yao! Wait for me!"
Fear drove Jin Qi to chase after Jin Chuyao despite his injuries, but just as he was about to catch her, she forcefully shoved him away.
"You...you can't leave me! I want to play with you, I want to take you to the city, my parents don't want me anymore! You can't leave me now!!"
Jin Qi was filled with impotent rage, screaming and roaring. If it weren't for the pain from her injuries, she would definitely have picked up whatever was around her and thrown it at Jin Chuyao.
"I don't like you anymore!! I hate you!!"
Jin Chuyao curled her lips into a cold smile.
"I don't care what you like! I'm telling you, don't follow me!"
Your Jin family is indeed a bunch of heartless and ungrateful people. When you're no longer useful, you can even abandon your own daughter.
You whole family are truly despicable! I've wasted so much time on you!
What an idiot! I wasted so much time on an idiot!
Jin Chuyao left cursing and swearing, completely ignoring Jin Qi's despair and helplessness behind her, as well as the hatred in her eyes.
Jin Chuyao knew, of course, that Jin Qi would hate her.
But so what?
She has now confirmed one thing: Jin Qi is utterly insignificant in the eyes of the Jin family.
In that case, Jin Qi is no more useful than a stray dog on the roadside in her eyes!
No, even wild dogs can be killed and eaten, so what use is Jin Qi? A complete and utter waste!
Of course, Jin Chuyao could put on a good show with Jin Qi at this time, pretending to be so reluctant and helpless.
But what's the point of doing that?
Why show a final act of kindness to a fool?
What's more, in his past life, the Jin family actually abandoned him for this fool!
Jin Chuyao harbored hatred in her heart, and before leaving, she naturally wanted to thoroughly humiliate Jin Qi, making her completely lose heart and despair, and letting her know how worthless and useless she was.
This is the only way to calm her hatred.
Seeing Jin Qi's utterly dejected expression, Jin Chuyao felt extremely pleased.
She was happy as long as the Kim family was unhappy.
Jin Qi sat on the ground and cried for at least half an hour. During this time, no matter how much she cried or made a scene, no matter how much she threw a tantrum, the people passing by only glanced at her with disdain and indifference before turning away.
The weather was dry and the ground beneath her was scorching hot, yet Jin Qi could still cry for an hour straight.
Because in her subconscious, as long as she makes a big fuss, she will get whatever she wants.
Therefore, she was so certain this time that she was left behind because she hadn't made enough of a scene. As long as she could attract everyone's attention, someone would definitely come to her aid.
Just like when she was little, even if her parents didn't spoil her, her older brothers and sisters would.
Even if her whole family doesn't spoil her, the old nanny in the house will secretly help her.
It was possible before, and it is possible now.
So after crying her heart out for an hour without anyone comforting or helping her, Jin Qi couldn't cry anymore.
She stared blankly at the people coming and going, and finally accepted the truth.
That means no matter how much she throws a tantrum, no one will indulge her anymore.
So what do we do now?
What else could she do?
She sat there for another afternoon, during which the doctor at the clinic routinely changed her dressings without any gentleness, showing no concern for whether she was in pain.
She was so hungry that she wanted to beg the people around her to give her a bowl of porridge, but they didn't even look at her and just turned around and left.
Jin Qi endured the pain and held the bowl herself, obediently queuing up like everyone else. Finally, she got a bowl of porridge, then curled up in a corner and wolfed it down.
After she finished eating, she started crying again.
This time, however, she cried silently.
It wasn't because I wanted anything, I just simply wanted to cry.
She missed home, missed her parents; it seemed that only her parents were truly the best to her in this world.
At this moment, even Jin Shu, whom she hated the most, didn't seem so bad anymore.
Even though she hits herself, she will still send someone to deliver medicine to her after she finishes hitting her.
They are all better than Jin Chuyao.
Jin Chuyao is a terrible person, yet she always thought she was a good person.
No wonder her parents hate her and don't want her anymore; it's all her fault for insisting on helping that big bad guy.
What can we do now? Will she have to wander around for the rest of her life?
Jin Qi cried harder and harder, but this time she chose to cover her mouth.
No one helped her, and crying out loud was useless; crying quietly would save her some energy.
——
The Jin family is currently too busy to care about Jin Qi.
Apart from Jin Shu, everyone in the Jin family was prepared to fight Li Yong to the death for the lives of all the people in the city.
However, after waiting for two or three days, the imperial army, which should have crossed the Huai River, lingered on the opposite bank of the Huai River for a long time without making any move.
Just as everyone was speculating about what these people were up to, Jin Shu, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"Gather our troops. If they don't come, we'll just attack them directly."
"Should we take the initiative to fight? That's not a good idea. They have elite soldiers, while many of our soldiers are old. If we really fight them, our chances of winning are very low."
Magistrate Jin was very cautious. In his opinion, if Li Yong didn't attack, he must be thinking of other ways. Perhaps He'an County had already been surrounded from behind, and Li Yong was doing this as a feint.
Jin Shu looked at Zhang Shixu.
"Uncle Zhang, based on your understanding of Li Yong, why do you think he doesn't attack?"
"Knowing him as I do, he would have started scoring around noon today no matter what."
"He knows he has a high chance of winning, but his continued hesitation in this situation can only mean that he has encountered a difficult problem."
Zhang Shixu then added a comment.
"Instead of waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative."
The two hit it off immediately.
Since the most authoritative person had spoken, what else could Magistrate Jin say but keep quiet?
So at dusk, the city gates of He'an County were opened wide, 20,000 soldiers guarded the gates, and 30,000 soldiers crossed the Huai River Bridge and, led by Zhang Shixu, directly attacked the imperial army.
They thought it would be a bloody battle that would last a long time, but even Zhang Shixu didn't expect that the war would break out so suddenly and end just as suddenly.
The once valiant royal army was now like a weak and powerless septuagenarian, and with little effort, the 50,000 soldiers either died or surrendered.
The troops of He'an County achieved great success.
