Ji Xiaoxiao's words were nothing short of a lifeline for Grandpa Wu and the Liao family.
"Really?" Grandpa Fog was overjoyed.
"Really," Ji Xiaoxiao replied firmly.
After a conversation, Grandpa Wu led Ji Xiaoxiao to the secret room underground in the Liao family's residence.
Ji Xiaoxiao taught Grandpa Wu a secret technique, and seven days later, Grandpa Wu successfully advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Hahaha... this is what a Foundation Establishment cultivator is like."
Grandpa Fog looked more than twenty years younger; his silver hair and white beard were tinged with a faint black, and his once cloudy eyes were now clear as water, full of vitality.
It's just Foundation Establishment, Ji Xiaoxiao has seen a lot in life, so her reaction is quite normal.
Dragging her weary body out of the secret room, Ji Xiaoxiao opened the door. Her favorite bed had a small bulge, the mound rising and falling, and the sound of her sobbing could be clearly heard.
This is?
Ji Xiaoxiao swallowed hard.
"Oh no, I completely forgot about that brat Liao Kongmin."
Ji Xiaoxiao lifted the blanket, and Liao Kongmin hugged his pillow, sobbing silently.
Well... after much persuasion, including ceding territory and paying reparations, Ji Xiaoxiao finally managed to appease Liao Kongmin.
The next morning, Ji Xiaoxiao followed Liao Kongmin respectfully, like a lackey, while Liao Kongmin, swaggering and arrogant, was like a spoiled brat walking his dog and fighting cocks.
"Young Master Bao, what do you want my sister to do?"
"Xiao Bao wants..."
Ji Xiaoxiao was exhausted both physically and mentally after being enslaved by Liao Kongmin for a whole day.
Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Jiachenlin arrived.
“Ayu, I know that Shenfei hurt your child and he has wronged you. But Shenfei is still young and he did it unintentionally. You are a magnanimous person, so please don’t hold a grudge against a child.”
Shen Lin may seem like a quiet, reserved person, but he's quite eloquent. Just based on his words, if Liao Yu doesn't agree to release Shen Fei, he'll be associated with Shen Lin's reputation for being petty and vindictive.
Liao Yu moved his lips, but did not immediately agree to Shen Lin's request to release Shen Fei.
After settling Liao Kongmin in, Ji Xiaoxiao went to the living room, but smiled without saying a word.
"Ayu, is this young lady... the mother of your child?"
Liao Yu didn't speak, but Ji Xiaoxiao said, "Xiao Bao's mother is not me, but your biological sister, Chen Shuang."
If you keep everything hidden, what's the point of having a mouth on your face?
"Shuang'er?" Shen Lin didn't believe it. Shen Shuang was engaged to Liao Yu back then, but Liao Yu forcibly took Shen Lu the day before the wedding. Shen Shuang left in anger. How could she be willing to be pregnant with and raise the son of the unfaithful Liao Yu?
"Whether you believe it or not, it's still true."
Ji Xiaoxiao glared at Liao Yu. Where did your shrewdness and competence go?
Liao Yu gave a dry laugh, and two blushes appeared on her delicate face.
"Where is Shuang'er?" Shen Lin asked, suppressing his shock.
Ji Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea.
"Dead."
"Dead?" How could that be?
"Six months ago, Shen Shuang was beaten to death by someone. The culprit was either Shen Lu or Shen Fei." After a pause, Ji Xiaoxiao said maliciously, "I think Shen Fei is more likely. After all, everyone knows that Shen Lu is naive and stupid. She definitely wouldn't be able to do something as complicated as hiring someone to commit murder."
"Impossible, Shuang'er is Shen Fei's own sister."
Shen Lin shouted and yelled, whether trying to convince himself or trying to cover up the truth, it was unclear.
"They've even resorted to cannibalism. With the genes of your Shen family, you've already produced someone like Shen Lu. It's perfectly normal for you to produce another one like Shen Fei, who can't distinguish right from wrong and kills without blinking an eye."
Ji Xiaoxiao was subtly mocking Shen Lin and the Shen family through her words.
"Since you don't believe it, then let your brother say it himself, and you won't doubt it anymore, right?"
...
Next to the main house of the Liao family mansion is a small building where Shen Fei is being held.
Ji Xiaoxiao pushed open the door and entered, giving a wink, and the guards wisely withdrew.
Shen Fei had a gray face and disheveled hair. She looked listless and drooped her head. Her well-fitting suit was wrinkled.
"Hi, Young Master Shen Fei, how are you?"
Ji Xiaoxiao pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Shen Fei.
Shen Fei slowly raised her head, revealing thick eyebrows and large eyes, exuding an untamed and arrogant air.
"I'm perfectly fine. What, are you utterly disappointed?"
Ji Xiaoxiao chuckled softly, "Not disappointed. Seeing you looking like a dog, all covered in dirt and unable to do anything, has truly satisfied my expectations."
"Ah... clang... clang..."
Shen Fei rose up in a rage, flinging her hands away, while the iron chains binding her arms dutifully performed their duty.
"You bitch, once I get out of here, I'll make sure you lose your life."
"If you say that, wouldn't you be better off finishing me off right here and now? Chen Fei, your third sister is not very bright, and as the saying goes, 'one is influenced by one's company,' is your brain also failing you?"
Ji Xiaoxiao said "Oh," and pointed her index finger in the air.
"By the way, you're the fourth young master of the Shen family, your eldest brother is Shen Lin, and your third sister is Shen Lu. Where did your third sister or brother go? I've been at Hope Base for so long, how come I've never heard of them?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.
"That vile woman is long dead."
Shen Fei gloated and grinned broadly.
"You shameless woman? Your third sister is dead, and you're happy about it? Why? She was your own sister."
Ji Xiaoxiao slowly guided Shen Fei toward the main topic.
Shen Fei clenched her fists and pounded the floor hard.
"What sister? Does she deserve to be my sister, Young Master Shen Fei? Shen Shuang is a damned bitch." Mentioning Shen Shuang, Shen Fei's face was full of hatred.
Shen Fei hates Shen Shuang, but why?
Ji Xiaoxiao had heard Liao Yu say that Shen Shuang treated Shen Fei extremely well. If Shen Fei were to commit murder one day, Shen Shuang would not punish Shen Fei, but would take the blame herself.
Why does Shen Fei, such a good sister, hate Shen Shuang so much?
