“Very well, then I’ll let everyone see just how fair you, the madam of a minister, truly are!” Wu Jinyan shouted coldly.
She untied her outer garment, revealing her skin that was partially visible beneath a sheer layer of fabric.
She rolled up her sleeves and said, “On my hands, there are thirteen scars. They were inflicted by whipping with rattan, branding with hot iron, and piercing with steel needles.”
Then, she lifted the hem of her dress and continued, “On my legs, there are seven wounds, two of which were caused by Wu Ruofei’s dagger. They are so deep that the bones are visible, and the scars haven’t healed yet. And on my body…”
She intended to undress, but Su Yingxue quickly stopped her, saying, “Sister, please don’t do this!”
A woman’s reputation was of utmost importance, and if she undressed , her reputation would be completely ruined.
Wu Jinyan let go of Su Yingxue’s hand and stared at her with teary, bloodshot eyes. “Yingxue, I’m fine.”
Under Su Yingxue’s palm were her scars, and this made her hesitate.
Wu Jinyan was only wearing an undergarment, and her body was exposed to everyone. Visible to the naked eye were countless scars, causing the onlookers to gasp in shock.
Someone couldn’t help but whisper, “This is too cruel!”
“Does Madam Wu still want to take her back? Will she even make it back alive?”
Madam Wu narrowed her eyes, a storm of darkness brewing within them.
Wu Ruofei couldn’t contain her anger and cursed, “Wu Jinyan, you have no shame! The Minister’s Estate also has its reputation to uphold! You’ve tarnished Father’s reputation, and I swear I’ll kill you!”
If it weren’t for her broken legs, she would have rushed forward and pressed Wu Jinyan’s head against a blade.
How could she dare to do something so disgraceful?
Wu Jinyan trembled all over, tears of hatred welling up in the corners of her eyes. “As daughters of the Minister’s Estate, what gives you the right to strike me?”
“Just because you’re a b*tch born to a despicable woman!” Wu Ruofei sneered with arrogance. She had always looked down upon Wu Jinyan’s lowly birth and felt that she didn’t deserve any respect in her presence.
That was why she couldn’t stand seeing her happy!
Wu Jinyan approached her, raised her hand high, and slapped her hard across the face.
“Wu Ruofei, you have no right to insult my mother! Despite her humble background, she is a kind-hearted woman. And what about you, with your noble birth? You’re arrogant, extravagant, and disregarding human life. You’re not worthy of being the legitimate daughter of the Minister’s Estate!”
“She’s not worthy, but are you?” Madam Wu pushed Wu Jinyan away, her eyes filled with contempt from head to toe. “Wu Jinyan, even if the Minister’s Estate treated you poorly, we have raised you for over a decade. But today, you dare to undress in public, shaming yourself and tarnishing the reputation of the Minister’s Estate. Our Minister’s Estate will not accept a daughter like you!” “The Minister’s Estate doesn’t accept me?” Wu Jinyan laughed heartily. “Perfect! I also have no intention of returning to that filthy place. From this day forward, Wu Jinyan has no connection to the Minister’s Estate. Madam Wu, there’s no need for your hypocritical sympathy and to disturb the entire clinic!”
“Jinyan, it is you who wants to sever ties with the Minister’s Estate. I didn’t force you. Our Minister’s Estate is an esteemed and noble family. The children in our family are all exceptional individuals. You are truly unworthy of being a child of the Minister’s Estate.” Madam Wu’s eyes were filled with cold disdain as she looked down on Wu Jinyan from head to toe.
Meanwhile, she embraced Wu Ruofei in her arms, treating her like a treasure.
“You have no right to insult Yan’er!”
Su Hao hurriedly arrived, wearing his battle armor with an imposing presence. His brows exuded a sense of anger.
He took off his cloak and draped it over Wu Jinyan, embracing her frail body. “Yan’er, don’t be afraid..”
