Chapter 857: Stressed

Translator: Lonelytree 

Xiao Zhi met Jing Tian’s gaze fearlessly. “Are you suspecting that I did it? No, it wasn’t me. I’ll be honest with you. I did poison Xiao Lan before. I just wanted to make her addicted and control her. I know that as long as I can control her, all of you have to be obedient.

“This way, we have one more bargaining chip. Jing Tian, we didn’t follow Tong Zhuo willingly. We… We had no choice. Believe me. I really had no choice but to submit to him!”

Jing Tian looked at Xiao Zhi. “So?”

“So, so…” Xiao Zhi muttered to herself, not knowing how to continue.

I smiled. “So, you’re thinking of controlling Auntie Lan to help you turn the tables?”

Xiao Zhi glanced at me and lowered her eyes, not saying a word.

“Then what’s going on today? Why do you have the guts to rebel against Tong Zhuo?” I asked.

Xiao Zhi didn’t say anything.

I glanced at the former president and Princess Angel behind her.

“Could it be that you’ve been wronged?” I smiled as I looked at Angel.

Angel’s neck stiffened as she looked elsewhere. As expected, my guess was correct.

Xiao Zhi had no choice but to brace herself and meet my gaze. Her face was filled with grief and indignation. “That Tong Zhuo is an animal. He, he, he actually wanted to rape Angel! Angel didn’t comply, so he gave her to his subordinates!”

As Xiao Zhi spoke, tears streamed down her face. “Angel grew up rich and pampered. How could we have ever suffered such a thing? So, w-we escaped, but we were already homeless. We could only seek refuge with Xiao Lan. I knew that I had let her down, so I wanted to beg for her forgiveness. I wanted her to pity me. Seeing that we’re of the same mother, please give us a way out!”

Xiao Zhi was indeed a person who had experienced great storms. Her words were truly moving.

I glanced at Angel, who had her head lowered, and smiled faintly. “Princess Angel, is this true?”

Angel raised her head and glared at me. She then lowered her eyes. She knew that she had no choice but to lower her head. Thus, she didn’t refute me.

I smiled. “It’s really hard for your family to be so united. It seems that suffering is a good thing. You actually managed to unite your family.”

The former president didn’t say a word. He completely allowed his wife and daughter to act pitifully to help him fight for his future.

Jing Tian and I exchanged a glance.

Jing Tian nodded at me. He had left the decision to me.

I thought for a moment before asking with a smile, “Madam An, there’s something I’d like to hear your explanation about.”

Xiao Zhi was flattered by my honorific title and raised her head. “Miss Nanxing, what’s the matter? I’ll tell you everything I know.”

I smiled. “Do you know the second madam of the Jing Family?”

Xiao Zhi’s expression changed immediately. She looked at me in bewilderment. “Second, second madam…”

“Yes, the second madam of the Jing family, who is also Jing Tian’s second sister-in-law. Speaking of which, she can be considered Auntie Lan’s daughter-in-law. Do you know her?” My tone was very calm.

Xiao Zhi pursed her lips tightly and said firmly, “I know her! I know her.”

I nodded slightly, waiting for her to continue.

“After we left the island, she found an opportunity to befriend me and gave me many things. She often came to me to chat and go shopping. I saw that her attitude was quite humble, so I interacted with her more often.” Xiao Zhi raised her head to look at me. Her eyes were clear and bright.
