Zhao Huanyun truly didn't take Wuying and Wuhen, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators, seriously, and was unaware that they planned to follow them.
He and a group of Zhao family members, filled with righteous indignation, escorted Zhao Qinglian back to Pancheng.
The heads of the Zhao family and those in power quickly arrived upon hearing the news.
Zhao Huanqian, Zhao Qinglian's father, turned red the moment he rushed in and saw Zhao Qinglian. He rushed up and slapped Zhao Qinglian five or six times with both hands, leaving her with a bruised and swollen face and blood flowing from her mouth and nose.
Zhao Qinglian's birth mother, Liu, buried her head and covered her face, crying incessantly, as if she was too ashamed to face anyone and could not bear to see Zhao Qinglian being beaten and punished.
Zhao Qinglian's sister Zhao Qinghe and brother Zhao Qinghu, like the other members of the Zhao family, glared at Zhao Qinglian as if he were an enemy.
Zhao Qinglian was bound by the Immortal Binding Rope and could not move. Even if she could move, she had no intention of resisting and let Zhao Huanqian whip her.
Looking at Zhao Qinglian's lifeless appearance, Zhao Huanqian wished he could beat her to death on the spot. He stomped his feet and roared angrily, "You unfilial daughter, why don't you just die out there? How dare you come back!"
"Slap!" Another crisp slap landed heavily on Zhao Qinglian's face.
Zhao Qinglian raised her eyes and looked at her younger sister, Zhao Qinghua, with whom she used to be closest.
Zhao Qinghua looked at her with tears in her eyes and hatred: "Zhao Qinglian, I must have committed a terrible sin in my past life to have a sister like you in this life!"
Do you know that because of you, my brother's, and everyone else in the Zhao family's path to immortality has been ruined!
You may enjoy your moment of carefree bliss, but you expect the entire Zhao family to bear the responsibility for you. You're utterly inhuman!
"I don't have a sister like you!" Zhao Qinghu roared hysterically.
The other members of the Zhao family around them also had red eyes from crying, and began to hurl insults at Zhao Qinglian:
"Our Zhao family has no offspring like you!"
You're not human!
You're a beast!
"Send her to the Jun family to be burned as a sky lantern!"
"As long as our Zhao family suffers, she will kneel at the Jun family's door to atone for her sins!"
"That's too easy on her. I'm going to whip her to death with the lightest whip!"
No matter how much they cursed, pushed, or fought, Zhao Qinglian kept her head down.
She thought, surely they would never send her to Jun Siam Dan and lock her up with him?
Is this place, once filled with laughter and memories, really her home?
For some reason, she suddenly thought of her daughter-in-law, Ji Fengyao;
And then there's her in-laws, the Ji Chenhai family.
Although they were just ordinary people from humble backgrounds, and the bandits' origins were even worse than hers.
But in their eyes, their daughter Ji Fengyao was the most precious treasure in the world.
If it weren't for the fact that Ye'er treated Yao'er so well, they would all think that Ye'er was not good enough for Yao'er.
Zhao Qinglian completely believed:
If Ye'er had treated Yao'er badly back then, the Ji family would definitely have risen up and rebelled against the Great Zhao Dynasty to avenge Yao'er!
She, like Jun Xiandan, had reached such a desperate state simply because of their different social statuses.
The Zhao family could not muster the slightest resistance against the powerful Jun family.
They were submissive to the Jun family, and then returned all the grievances and consequences to her for her momentary willfulness.
Zhao Qinglian knew that this was all her own fault. She didn't blame the Zhao family for being weak, nor did she blame them for their physical and verbal abuse.
She was simply heartbroken and filled with despair.
