Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1266 - 1272: The Truth Revealed (1)

Wang Cai snapped back to reality and with his neck bristling, he shouted, "Miss Du, with such a red-mouthed and white-toothed lie, you should at least speak with a conscience. Just yesterday, it was you who sent Old Lady Zhang to mediate this matter with me. The three hundred taels of silver are still on our brothers’ bodies. You can’t deny it!"

Upon hearing this, Du Wanqing’s tears began to flow as she choked out, "Wang Cai, even though you were demoted to the manor, it was all your own doing. Why do you insist on holding such a grudge against me? I was in Duke Li Guo’s Mansion recovering from injuries and had no money to spend, let alone find three hundred taels of silver to bribe you. Even if you wanted to frame me, you should come up with a more plausible excuse!"

Indeed, Du Wanqing had no silver on her at that moment. The three hundred taels of silver had been acquired through Old Lady Zhang, who took a secret letter from her to her mother, Lady Wang. This money was saved from the household allowance previously given by Mo Zili, and it was all the savings that mother and daughter had.

Because she had just told Mo Zili she had no money, her current words were very convincing.

However, her arguments and tears did not sway Mo Zili. At this moment, he was half-slumped in his seat, his expression unclear. The only visible sign was the bulging veins on his forehead and the crackling sound from his fists clenched on his knees.

No one knew how furious he was. He was so angry he felt like jumping up and killing someone!

These two dogs—a b*tch and her accomplice—had colluded, been mutually disgraceful. If their scheme had succeeded, he would now be faced with the cold corpse of Xiang Yun, after being gang-raped and murdered.

Just the thought of this possibility made his heart ache as if it had been stabbed with a knife, and his eyes turned red, wishing he could immediately kill them both!

Wang Cai saw the veins on the Young Master’s forehead and knew that the Young Master was on the brink of rage. Now that Du Wanqing was trying to clear her name and put the blame on him, he would not stand for it. Having grown up with the Young Master, he knew Mo Zili’s temper and just how fearsome he could be when angered. If the crime of plotting against the Mistress were pinned on him, Mo Zili would certainly not leave him any way to survive.

Thinking this, he looked directly into Du Wanqing’s eyes and declared loudly, "Miss, I’ve done my fair share of work for you in the past, and but for you, I would not have ended up in such a plight today. If you refuse to help me, so be it, but where is the sense in framing and kicking someone when they’re down? Aren’t you afraid that in desperation, I will spill all your past deeds?"

Du Wanqing realized Wang Cai was threatening her, but she was not afraid. She knew that if the matter was investigated, Wang Cai would be no less guilty than herself. Therefore, she responded confidently, "Wang Cai, what do you want to accuse me of? I advise you to drop such malicious thoughts. If you just confess your crimes, perhaps the Young Master will spare your life out of consideration for the years you have served him since childhood. If you continue to be restless like a rabid dog, biting wildly and making false accusations, the Young Master will never let you off easily."

She swallowed back the rest of her words, for at that moment, she saw Mo Zili, who had been silent, slowly raise his head. His cold gaze fixed firmly on them, sending a shiver through their spines.

"Come here—"

His voice was quiet, deep, and prolonged, and yet it gave them chills. freewёbnoνel-com

"The servants are here!"

The four little guys standing behind Mo Zili thundered out a response, stepping forward and kneeling in front of him.

Mo Zili stared gloomily at Wang Cai, his teeth clenched as he hissed, "Regardless of whether it’s someone else’s instigation or not, this dog slave who plotted to murder and insult the Mistress is unforgivable. First, sear both of his hands with a branding iron until they burn to the bone."
