Chapter 552: Consumed the Immortal Spirit Pill
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jia Yuqin was still pregnant with Bai Shining’s child.
How could Bai Shining let her marry someone else?
Therefore, Bai Wutong had ample reason to suspect that Bai Shining had deliberately killed the original Bai Wutong’s mother.
However, when her mother was about to give birth, all the doctors had said that the position of the baby was very correct and there was a high chance that there would be no problem.
However, she had died of blood loss during birth.
Not long after her mother died, the midwife in charge of delivering the child disappeared without a trace. All the servants around her were also sold. A maidservant who was loyal to the original Bai Wutong ran back to her mother’s house and cried that Madam had been killed. Her family came to demand an explanation, but was chased out by Bai Shining.
Later on, the original Bai Wutong’s maternal family committed a crime and were all decapitated.
The original Bai Wutong only knew these things because when she grew up, she was told by a short-legged beggar by the roadside, who was her mother’s maidservant.
The original Bai Wutong had wanted to take revenge, but the person who had killed her mother was most likely her biological father.
She had been raised to be weak and timid. How could she dare to go against Bai Shining and the others?
But she was buried in this monstrous hatred again and could not extricate herself from the pain.
The bandit only planned to mar her reputation, but the original Bai Wutong had long wanted to die and had chosen to jump off the cliff.
She was still praying that when she jumped off the cliff, if the heavens had eyes, it would definitely seek justice for the mother and daughter.
Bai Wutong was probably the justice arranged by the heavens.
She had become her. Now, she had the absolute power to avenge them.
When Bai Shining heard Bai Wutong mention what had happened back then, his face turned pale.
He said in a panic, “Wutong, how can you suspect your father like this!”
“The cause of your mother’s death was an accident. You can blame me for not taking good care of you, but you can’t hurt me like this.”
If he was honest, why would he hide and not dare to look her in the eye?
Bai Wutong said indifferently, “It’s fine if you don’t admit it. We have plenty of ways.”
“Qingfeng.”
As soon as she said Qingfeng, Bai Shining’s legs trembled.
No way, no way. Could Qingfeng be the commander of the previous dynasty?
Shouldn’t she have died because the previous emperor did not give an antidote?
When Bai Shining saw Qingfeng appear like a ghost, his eyes suddenly lit up.
If Qingfeng was not dead, some secret medicine must have cured her.
As long as he had such a secret medicine, he could become the emperor in the Carefree Kingdom without having to guard against Chu Mingxuan’s control.
It was impossible for Bai Shining not to know Qingfeng. But now, he looked strangely surprised and not afraid at all.
Bai Wutong raised her eyebrows. Just as she found it strange, Bai Shining reached out his hand towards the gates and shouted at Bai Wutong, “Wutong, I’m your father. I really didn’t kill your mother. Believe me.”
He had dealt with the midwife back then and seen the corpse buried with his own eyes. He definitely did not believe that Bai Wutong could find out.
He was her father after all. Bai Shining was betting that Bai Wutong would soften her heart and not let Qingfeng torture him.
Bai Wutong smiled. “It seems that Lord Bai hasn’t figured out the situation yet. Then let him wake up.”
Qingfeng stepped forward and suddenly threw out two chains, and hung Bai Shining on the execution rack.
Then, holding two sharp iron hooks, she slowly walked towards him.
He remembered this kind of punishment. The Dark Guards Team was famous for making prisoners wear lute bones.
Bai Shining widened his eyes in fear and shouted, “Bai Wutong, I’m your father. If you treat me like this, you’ll be struck by lightning!”
Bai Wutong smiled. “What father? Do you have evidence? There are so many people in the world who look alike. I was born n.o.ble. How can I have a useless father like you?”
Bai Shining’s face turned red as if he had been humiliated. He cursed, “If I had known, I would have drowned you when you were born.”
Bai Wutong’s gaze suddenly turned cold. Chu Tianbao had already swung his sword. A cold light flashed, and Bai Shining’s right arm was cut off.
Bai Shilling’s scream echoed in the dungeon.
Qingfeng calmly stepped forward and blocked his mouth.
When he recovered from the pain, he was brought over and waited for Bai Wutong to continue asking questions.
Bai Wutong didn’t even blink. She was really ruthless and not faking it.
Bai Shilling’s face was pale. He held his broken arm and finally said, “Wutong, you can stop calling me father, but your mother is still waiting for you to go back and pay your respects…”
Bai Wutong gave Qingfeng another look. “Put on the lute bone. He talks too much.”
Qingfeng did not have any excessive actions. The sharp hook suddenly pierced into Bai Shilling’s back.
The sharp pain seemed to be draining his blood.
Bai Shining groaned in pain and cursed in a daze, “Bai Wutong, I’m your father. No matter what I do, I’m your father! You’re worse than a beast.”
“Swish—”
The circling sword flashed in the air.
“All—”
Bai Shilling’s other arm was also cut off by Chu Tianbao.
After losing his arms, Bai Shining finally broke down. “She deserves to give birth to a monster like you!”
He wanted to die.
Bai Wutong’s expression was as usual. She was not smug after obtaining the truth, instead she was like a stranger calmly examining this matter.
And she was like the judge.
Bai Shining was stung by her gaze and spat out a mouthful of blood. He said fiercely, “Don’t you want to know? Then I’ll tell you how your mother died.”
“I got someone to give her a nourishing medicine. Sure enough, it took effect that night.”
“Then, you—you evil creature was born. I deliberately let the midwife cut open her body and let her… continuously… die in torment, just like you are torturing me now.”
“Speaking of which, you’re indeed my child. How ruthless!”
“It’s just that I also”
“Pfft—”
“I don’t understand. You were so cowardly previously. Why did you suddenly become so smart?”
Bai Wutong’s expression remained unchanged. Even if everyone knew that she was not the original Bai Wutong.
However, she still existed. She was the Madam Bai in everyone’s hearts, the Great Empress.
Bai Wutong suddenly smiled. “What about Jia Yuqin? Does it have anything to do with her?”
Bai Shining sneered. “How can it not be related? If she hadn’t forced me to marry her, your mother would have been able to live a few more years.”
Since the matter was clear, Bai Wutong looked at Qingfeng and made a decision. “Treat his injuries and lock him up. Let him be live in despair and loneliness for life.”
For those who had committed heinous crimes, living forever without hope was the greatest punishment.
“Yes!”
Qingfeng nimbly removed the lute bone.
Bai Shining struggled with all his might, and blood flowed all over the ground. “Don’t even think about torturing me. No one can control my life. No one can—”
His eyes were bloodshot as he turned around and hit against the sharp lute thorn.
“Bang—”
Qingfeng knocked him unconscious and invited Wen Renhua to the dungeon.
Wen Renhua took his pulse and immediately sensed that something was wrong.
As soon as Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao walked into the female prison where Jia Yuqin and Bai Yushui were locked up, Qingfeng rushed over and said, “Bai Shining has taken the Immortal Spiritual Pill..”
