Wan Qiqi took several deep breaths to calm herself down, but a thin layer of sweat covered her forehead.
She lowered her eyes to hide the blood and said earnestly, "I'm not pleading for her, I just feel that her crime doesn't warrant cutting off a hand."
She glanced at Fang Luxue, who was still sobbing, and continued, "For us poor people, our hands are as important as our lives. If we lose our hands, we can't work, which is equivalent to losing our ability to survive."
"Although she intended to harm Miss Fang, Miss Fang is now safe and sound. Shouldn't she be punished too severely?"
Fang Bowen glanced at her and chuckled coldly, "Wan Qiqi, being merciful to your enemies is being cruel to yourself. If you speak up for her, she might not remember it and could even turn around and bite you back, making you regret your decision today."

She stepped away from Fang Bowen's embrace, her expression indifferent, and asked, "Brother, why are you here?"
Fang Bowen then remembered the important matter, "Father is here!"
"I don't want to..."
Before Fang Luxue could finish speaking, Fang Bowen said, "He came with an imperial edict. If you don't want to see him, then don't."
Fang Bowen knew that his sister still hadn't gotten over the hurdle in her heart.
She still resented her father for choosing to attack the mountain first instead of saving her.
