"Don't go too far. They haven't offended you. Just let them go."
"Yes, this child is so young. You have children of your own, why are you trying to take someone else's child?"
At this point, some people couldn't help but speak up, after all, taking someone else's children is no less than the hatred of killing one's mother or father.
There are always some kind-hearted people in this world.
However, whether or not they helped the wrong person is unknown.
Bloodblade sneered inwardly: These people are really ungrateful, daring to talk about the law with their Empress? But without Her Majesty's order, even if she disapproved, she could not act on her own.
Wei Wangqing found it somewhat amusing; should she shout, "I am the law!"
However, she did not want to use her status to intimidate others; otherwise, these people would not think they were in the wrong.
They might even think they're enduring humiliation and bearing heavy burdens.
But when did this child become hers?
"Your child?" Wei Wangqing raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
The woman felt an immense pressure from this person, and her gaze made her feel like she couldn't breathe.
At this point, they were in a bind. If these people found out they were human traffickers, they would be universally condemned and eventually sent to the authorities.
Now, we can still give her a shot.
But deep down, he hated the meddlesome family.
"Of course she's my child. What, are you trying to distort the truth? No matter how much power you have, you can't change the fact that she's my child."
Wei Wangqing laughed. This woman is truly talented. With such eloquence and mental fortitude, she could do anything, but she has to be a human trafficker.
Wei Wangqing hated this kind of profession the most; stealing other people's children really ruins a family.
Many people looked at the woman with admiration, thinking how strong a mother is, daring to openly challenge the powerful and wealthy.
Even if it costs them their breath, they have to support her and cannot succumb to power.
"Yes, that's right. No matter what you do, it's still someone else's child. You can't take someone else's child away."
"Yes, big sister, don't be afraid. We're all on your side. What can she do to us?"
The woman was extremely smug. "Hmph, let's see what she can do now!"
"When did I say I was going to take your child?" Wei Wangqing said casually.
The woman's heart skipped a beat: "Then what you just did..."
"I just wanted to call the child over to ask him a few questions, and you're getting all worked up. Or is it..."
"You're feeling guilty, aren't you?" Wei Wangqing said with a slight smirk.
"You're talking nonsense!" the woman said angrily.
Those watching remained silent for the time being.
But I couldn't help but wonder if what she said was really true.
Wei Wangqing signaled to the guards to bring the child over.
Then one of the guards forcibly removed her hands from the child and from the child's mouth.
"No, you can't do this! Give me back my child!" The woman struggled violently, looking heartbroken.
The onlookers couldn't bear it any longer. How could they be so cruel as to forcibly separate a mother and daughter?
But in an instant, a knife grazed her neck. "Let go."
The woman said coldly.
The child's 'mother' immediately stopped struggling and let the child be taken away.
The onlookers dared not say anything more and actually drew their knives.
For a moment, all was quiet, and everyone felt uneasy.
The child's 'parents' were now terrified. What kind of evil spirit had they offended? This was bad luck for them!
How could this group of people really disregard human life?
But they dared not gamble; they only had one life.
The girl ran to Wei Wangqing's side and stopped moving.
Xiao Ling'er gently tugged at her hand and said, "Sister, don't be afraid. With Mother here, nothing will happen."
The girl lowered her eyes and responded softly, "Mmm."
Wei Wangqing glanced at the child and said, "Since you say this child is yours, you must know the child's name and age, right? Tell us all at once."
The knife was held against their necks, and their earlier ferocity had vanished.
The woman said in a trembling voice, "Seven, seven years old."
Eight years old.
They both spoke at the same time.
Wei Wangqing sneered: "You parents are really incompetent. You can't even remember how old your child is."
"I... I just forgot for a moment," the child's 'father' said, shrinking his neck.
"What about the name? Surely you haven't forgotten it too?"
The two exchanged a glance, but the guard's blade drew even closer. "No eye contact. Speak."
Both of them stammered and couldn't say a word.
Now the onlookers finally understood what had happened; they had indeed been deceived by these two human traffickers.
His anger was even greater than before.
Those who had just spoken up for her felt incredibly ashamed; they had almost become accomplices to evil.
We really need to be more careful in the future, and not blindly follow the crowd or generalize from limited information.
Wei Wangqing looked at the child, who seemed a little too clever.
"Tell me about your origins."
The girl lowered her head. "I am from the Shen family of Quzhou. My name is Shen Wenqi. My parents passed away one after the other not long ago, and I was abducted to the capital by this man."
The onlookers were even more heartbroken upon hearing this; the little girl was so pitiful, and they had almost become accomplices, feeling deeply ashamed.
but……
"Some people say there's a disturbance here. Who are they?" A group of soldiers walked over arrogantly.
"Sir, please save us! It's them! They're trying to kill us!" The slave trader immediately cried out as if she had found a lifeline, ignoring the fact that these were the soldiers she used to fear the most.
