Chapter 244: Unfilial Son
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“No! Don’t kill her! She’s innocent; she didn’t want to become like this either! She was a victim.” Elderly Lady Qiao tugged on her son and wanted to kneel. “Release her! Spare your sister and let her leave!”
“Mother, this son can’t comply with you about this matter. Sister isn’t human anymore. We can’t release her and allow her to harm other people…” Qiao Zhongbang wasn’t indecisive about this matter at all.
Slap! Elderly Lady Qiao slapped her son, her geriatric, wrinkly hand trembling as it hung in the air.
She pointed at Qiao Zhongbang and angrily shouted, “You unfilial son!”
The left side of Qiao Zhongbang’s face swelled instantly. The force behind the elderly lady’s slap was apparent.
“Mother, have you gone dull with age?!” Second Uncle stomped his feet in anger and shot past his eldest brother, who foolishly stood in front of their mother. Second Uncle used his body to block his raging mother and shouted, “Qiao Wenjuan is already dead! Eldest Brother is in grief about it, and so am I, but what else can we do? We can’t revive Qiao Wenjuan! We also can’t allow her to harm you, Mother, or our entire family!”
The elderly lady’s finger shook as she pointed at the two brothers, tears tumbling down her face ceaselessly. She couldn’t stop the grief from flooding her heart.
‘My daughter… My daughter who I daintily raised like a pampered flower…’
Qiao Mu clutched Elderly Lady’s shoulder without any courtesy and forcefully pushed her back. She severely said, “Mother Xu, escort Elderly Lady to the west wing to rest. She won’t need to come out unnecessarily!”
Mother Xu’s arms trembled slightly as she quickly supported the elderly lady’s falling body. Then, she half dragged and pulled the screaming old woman out of the room.
Qiao Wenjuan climbed up from the ground, her head crooked at an abnormal angle. Her violently protruded eyes intently stared at Qiao Mu before she suddenly leaped toward her with a roar.
Bang! Bang bang bang!!! A mere lift of the crown prince’s fingers and several fireballs shot toward Qiao Wenjuan and exploded in a series.
Qiao Wenjuan’s entire face was exploded beyond recognition, and she was unable to get near Qiao Mu at all.
Qiao Zhongbang darkly looked at Qiao Wenjuan’s miserable appearance, his fists tightly clenched.
“Roaaar—roar!” Qiao Wenjuan released an inhuman bellow while kneeling on the floor on her hands and knees. When that bellow traveled to the anteroom, it caused the unsettled Wei Ziqin to jolt in fright.
She quickly stood up while grasping Xiao Lin’er’s hand. Shaoyao blocked them immediately and said, “I wouldn’t recommend Madam going there.”
Although Shaoyao didn’t know what happened with Elderly Lady, she could guess that something major had happened based on that commotion and Miss’ expression before she departed. Madam was pregnant and it was difficult for her to move around, so it was best for her to abstain from the excitement so as to prevent any accidents.
How could Wei Ziqin sit still though? She held Shaoyao’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t go near. I will just take a peek from afar.”
Then, she headed toward the direction of Elderly Lady Qiao’s room. She didn’t approach as promised and merely stood on the far end of the corridor to look through the elderly lady’s opened doors.
Suddenly, a zombie with disheveled hair shot out of the door.
Her daughter also charged out of the room with a bow and arrow in her hands. She had just aimed it at that zombie’s head when the bow and arrow were snatched by her father.
“Dad?” Qiao Mu’s face was dark as she looked up at Qiao Zhongbang.
‘At a time like this, Dad isn’t about to be… soft-hearted?! Is he?!’
Qiao Mu looked at her dad like she expected something better from him. When Qiao Zhongbang saw her gaze, he felt like their father and daughter position were reversed.
His daughter looked like… she was looking at some good-for-nothing child. The sullenness and disappointment in her eyes were utterly brilliantly amusing!
