So, is this General Xie's Achilles' heel?
If that's the case...
At this moment, Ning Yi had already retreated to Xie Lingqin's side.
General Xie was furious, his sharp eyes fixed on Xie Lingqin. "Xie Lingqin, you unfilial daughter, did you instigate your brother to attack your father?"
As soon as General Xie finished speaking, he roared outside, "Today I'll teach you a lesson! Guards, arrest the young lady! I was negligent in disciplining her in the past!"
Suddenly, dozens of men in black appeared inside and outside the study.
In an instant, a chilling atmosphere filled the air.
Zihe immediately stood in front of Xie Lingqin, and Xie Danling, who had been kneeling on the ground, also stood up and stood in front of Xie Lingqin. At the same time, he looked at General Xie and said, "Father, Ningyi is already mentally impaired. How can you be so unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
"You unfilial son, are you planning a rebellion too?"
General Xie's face was dark with anger. He shouted to the surroundings, "What are you all standing there for? Arrest this unfilial daughter who has corrupted her own brother and doesn't know how to be respectful. I don't believe I can't even control one daughter. Even if this matter goes to the Emperor, I will still be in the right."
Xie Lingqin, who was surrounded, remained calm and inwardly sneered.
It seems this father has been putting up with her for too long, and today he's finally got the chance to teach her a lesson.
Xie Lingqin pulled Xie Danling and Ning Yi apart, but instead of backing down, she stepped forward and said, "Father, it is said that if you want to condemn someone, you can always find a reason. You know that Ning Yi is mentally impaired, but you will not listen to my explanation and make such a arbitrary judgment. Could it be that you dislike your daughter and are deliberately making things difficult for me? You even said that you would report it to the Emperor. If such a small family matter is really reported to the Emperor, Father, will you still have any face left?"
Xie Lingqin spoke each word slowly and deliberately, her face expressionless, yet her words carried weight.
General Xie's breath hitched, and he pointed at Xie Lingqin, "Xie Lingqin, are you threatening me?"
"No, Father..."
Xie Lingqin slightly raised her eyes, gesturing for General Xie to look around at the surrounding area, inside and out.
“Father, look, so many people are surrounding me, and this is my own home. They are all your people. So, Father, you are clearly threatening me.”
Xie Lingqin paused, then sighed with a hint of melancholy, "I truly don't understand what I did wrong to provoke such anger in you, Father. It's been like this since I was little. Doesn't your conscience hurt? How can you face my deceased mother like this?"
Xie Lingqin wasn't trying to play the family card. She and this father had already broken off all ties, and there was no point in trying to reconcile. As for the dozens of people in front of her, she didn't care about them either.
However, there are some things she needs to confirm before drawing a conclusion.
Besides, when she gets married, she can't be without her family.
After listening to Xie Lingqin's words, General Xie still stared intently at her, and as expected, his expression remained unchanged.
“Father, my sister clearly did nothing wrong, so why are you treating her like this?”
Beside him, Xie Danling's eyes reddened slightly, his clear pupils clenched together. After all, he didn't know that General Xie was not his biological father. He wanted his father to get along well with Xie Lingqin.
Furthermore, General Xie was unaware that Xie Danling was not his biological son, otherwise...
Xie Lingqin thought that General Xie would not have done something like this today. He would cherish Ningyi, his only son, even more, as if he were a precious treasure.
Instead of taking such a reckless and desperate gamble to establish his authority in front of Ning Yi.
"Get away from me! You've been bewitched by her!" General Xie roared.
"You bad person, you bad person, you want to hurt my sister, I'll kill you."
Ning Yi, who had been silent all along, suddenly drew a sword from one of the guards beside him and stabbed at General Xie.
General Xie was furious. In that instant, even his own son had crossed him.
The sounds of fierce battles and the murderous rage cultivated through practice are now evident.
Xie Lingqin witnessed firsthand the overwhelming murderous intent that filled General Xie's eyes in that instant.
not good.
Xie Lingqin gasped in surprise, her figure vanishing from the spot. Just as Ning Yi's sword was about to pierce General Xie, she grabbed Ning Yi's ankle tightly and pulled him backward.
Even a tiger won't eat its cubs.
The girl's voice was strong and clear, containing the power of thunder and rain from high mountains.
Those cold, stern eyes flashed with an icy light, causing General Xie's hand, which was about to strike Ning Yi, to freeze in mid-air.
The air suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Zihe and Xie Danling watched as General Xie's hand, which could strike Ning Yi's forehead in an instant, tightened their hearts.
General Xie's forehead veins bulged, and his face was filled with anger.
“Father, Ningyi is not sensible.”
Xie Lingqin continued.
With the two sides at a stalemate, Xie Lingqin did not want to cause trouble today.
She could tell that General Xie had done this on purpose. He intended to put Xie Danling and Ning Yi in a hopeless situation, and since he couldn't be a gentle and tender father, he would completely take back the hearts that Xie Danling and Ning Yi had placed on her.
only……
It seems that the losses outweighed the gains, and it almost resulted in a fatality.
She had given him a way out, and if he didn't take advantage of it, he really shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.
“Today, I was too serious. You may all leave now. Lingqin, you take Ningyi back.”
After a long while, General Xie slowly withdrew his hand, but still accepted the step. His gaze gradually fell on Xie Lingqin's face, and in an instant, a smile appeared on his face, as if the sinister look from before had never appeared.
