Chapter 1817: Witnessed How Horrifying This Woman Was
Hearing this, Second Elder’s expression changed, and his eyes started darting wildly. He was unable to understand how Yun Bixue knew about this.
The other hidden guards on the s.h.i.+p were shocked too.
Second Elder was so vicious? Also, what kind of conspiracy was this? Why would Little Master not necessarily be able to survive after going to Brocade Hall?
Yun Bixue laughed out loud. “Second Elder, you don’t have to hide it. My ident.i.ty isn’t being acknowledged, so that means you people have arranged a young madam for Xie Limo, one you deem appropriate for him, am I right?”
After a pause, Yun Bixue said coldly with clenched teeth. “You people wish to control the Xie family, and I’m not someone you can control. That’s why you all won’t acknowledge me. As for taking my child away, you mean for him to die at Brocade Hall. Hmm, what excuse will you cook up? He is born with a poor physique? Haha! How laughable!”
Yun Bixue’s laughter resounded throughout the place. Sounding cold and furious, it made one’s heart turn chilly at hearing it.
Second Elder and his aides listened to this laughter as they knelt there, a s.h.i.+ver running down their backs.
The weird thing was, why did they fear this woman from the bottom of their hearts? It’s way too strange!
Yun Bixue drew out a knife from her waist and ferociously stabbed it at Second Elder’s shoulders, then withdrawing it instantaneously.
Second Elder groaned quietly in pain, blood spurting out from his shoulders.
Yun Bixue continued to stab the knife into his body. She avoided the fatal spots, so he would feel pain and bleed, but not die!
“Are you admitting to it or not? Speak!”
Yun Bixue thought if she wasn’t powerful enough, if her child was really brought back to the headquarters and ended up dying, what was she going to do? She would go mad.
As a mother, what she couldn’t tolerate the most was losing her child.
At the thought of how her child was still in Dongfang Mujin’s hands, she felt so worried her heart ached.
There were no tears in Yun Bixue’s eyes, but it looked icy cold, piercing Second Elder and his men like a sharp knife.
“Are you speaking or not?”
With blood spurting from his body, Second Elder held himself back from speaking. He knew that once he spoke, he might die.
He had thought that as the second elder, no one would dare claim his life. But now, he felt that the person before him didn’t care about his ident.i.ty and wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.
Yun Bixue then got the hidden guards to take action.
The hidden guards said to Second Elder’s aides, “Whoever knows can spill the truth and be spared from dying!”
At the start, everyone refused to speak, so Yun Bixue had those three kidnapped men brought out. “If the three of you wish to live, use these daggers and force them to spill the truth!”
Those three people had witnessed how horrifying this woman was and knew that she would be true to her word. But they couldn’t bring themselves to do that to their companions.
Yun Bixue waved a hand, and a hidden guard directly killed one of those three people. Blood splattered over the faces of the other two, making their hearts pound wildly.
Trepidation seized their entire bodies.
“I’ll count to three… You think Second Elder cares if you live or die? Did he not leave the three of you in the imperial capital so that I have someone to vent my anger on?”
These two people followed Second Elder for their own interests anyway and weren’t men of sacrifice or hidden guards. Shocked by the splattering blood, they picked up the daggers and stabbed at those people.
The hidden guards tried forcing a confession out of them, according to Yun Bixue’s instructions as well.
Finally, under mental torture, everyone began to talk. “Yes, that child isn’t an acknowledged Little Master. Since the Elder’s Home and various halls do not acknowledge him, he could only die!”
“Only if everyone acknowledges him will he be our little master. The elders are thinking of arranging one of their people to be Young Master Xie’s wife.”
