Su Qiang looked at me with malice mingled with pity, her eyes devoid of any sisterly affection that she had when her life was at stake.
Having just gone through the crying and arguing with Yu Longting, my emotions were not easily stirred by Su Qiang, "Let's assume I still have another child, then who told you? Do you have some leverage in that person's hands that you've been hiding this whole time?" Since I had come to confront Su Qiang, I was determined to figure it out, no matter what.
Su Qiang saw my calm and indifferent demeanor, a look of disappointment and astonishment flashed across her face, and after a pause, she said somewhat hysterically, "Su Wan... do you not know how miserable my life has been?... My parents abandoned me at birth, the only child I had was killed by your Lin Family. I'm completely alone; I have no leverage!"
She made herself sound so pitiable that it was hard not to sympathize with her.
But that did not include me, especially after having just witnessed Yu Longting dismembering the Kappa boy.
I found myself in a terrifying extremity, my heart as hard as iron, "Stop pretending, it was Master Qingyang who turned you into a Living Dead and gave you this terrible idea, wasn't it?"
Since Su Qiang was stubbornly refusing to say anything, I had to use the process of elimination.
Setting aside others for the moment, the only people who had mentioned this to me were Qingyang and Xuanjing.
Xuanjing was recuperating at the bottom of the river and couldn't easily show up.
So... it left only Master Qingyang!
"All this you are saying, it has nothing to do with me, I made a Blood Curse... cannot speak of it..." Su Qiang's expression suddenly changed when she heard the name 'Master Qingyang'.
She looked around in panic, constantly checking for any changes in her body.
Realizing that she wasn't suffering from the backlash of the Blood Curse, she sneered, "My dear cousin, this doesn't seem like your temper, knowing that Yu Longting... killed your own flesh and blood, you... hahaha... how can you still be so calm? Have you really gone mad? Stupid?? Haha, it's killing me..."
Perhaps because she truly believed I had lost my senses, she managed to remain so composed, laughing until tears came out.
At that moment I truly understood what it meant to be pleased by a foe's misfortune and pained by a loved one's grief.
If I were ever to collapse inwardly and do something harmful to myself or others, only those who cared about me would be truly heartbroken.
As for someone like Su Qiang, she would just double over with laughter.
The more she acted this way, the calmer I became inside, my fingers gently touching my belly, "Su Qiang, did Qingyang tell you why Yu Longting wanted to kill his own child?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel[f]ire.net
"Isn't it obvious, just like Xuanjing, all the Su Family girls' children possess the Spiritual Eye." Su Qiang laughed so hard her stomach hurt, but her laughter grew more desolate, "We're just machines for bearing children, continuously giving birth to children with the Spiritual Eye, an endless and inexhaustible supply for these monsters. Ahahaha... the moment I die, Xuanjing immediately finds another woman... hahaha... Su Wan, we sisters have all been ruined by our elders... trampled by monsters at will!"
In the end, Su Qiang laughed maniacally, a tear of blood falling from the corner of her eye.
Even someone as detestable as her had her pitiable side, it seemed.
I lowered my eyelids, pursed my lips in thought.
Yu Longting was definitely not like that, but Xuanjing, that was a different matter.
"I..." I was just about to speak when I saw a fierce gleam in Su Qiang's eyes, and a metal object flew out of her sleeve.
I dodged in time, and Yu Longting immediately caught the black metal crossbow bolt. He then stomped his foot down on Su Qiang's head, showing no mercy, "Still trying to play tricks? Want to die again?"
