Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 1267 - 1273: The Truth Revealed (2)

When Wang Cai heard this, his soul flew away and scattered. He immediately wet his pants and screamed out, "Young Master, spare my life, I beg you to show mercy to your servant..."

The four little guys received the order, and immediately advanced. Two of them carried the charcoal basin, and two grabbed his arms and were about to press him into the basin. Terrified beyond sense, Wang Cai struggled desperately and begged loudly.

"Young Master, spare my life. Your servant has a secret to tell you. If only you would spare me, I will reveal this secret to you!"

Upon hearing this, Du Wanqing immediately tensed up, guessing that Wang Cai, this slave, was probably ready to destroy the net after the fish’s death. In a moment of urgency, she intervened, "Zili, don’t listen to his nonsense. This wretch is trying to escape his crime by falsely accusing others. In my opinion, such a treacherous dog slave should be dragged out and beaten to death right away."

Mo Zili cast a sidelong glance at Du Wanqing, said coldly, "He cannot die yet. If he dies, wouldn’t that be letting off the real initiator behind this too easily?" Saying so, he smiled a grim smile, raised his hand to signal the little guys to stop, and let Wang Cai go.

Having walked the brink of the Ghost Gate, Wang Cai was so terrified that his soul had nearly left his body. All he could think about now was how to atone for his crimes, how to mitigate his own guilt, or how to find someone even more detestable to divert the Young Master’s attention.

He lay on the ground, raised his head in profuse sweat, crying while he spoke, "Thank you, Young Master, for your mercy. I know my wrongs, and I will never dare to do it again..."

"This time you got hurt, it wasn’t a bird startling the horse, but your servant who secretly threw stones at your horse’s eyes, causing it to panic. It was Miss Du who directed your servant to do this, and afterwards, she even rewarded me with one hundred taels of silver."

Mo Zili froze for a moment, and upon understanding what he was saying, his already grim expression sharpened. He turned his head to look at Du Wanqing, his gaze piercing like a venom-tipped dagger, as if he wanted to shred her into pieces.

One was a woman he had once deeply loved, and the other was the little guy he trusted the most. The two of them had conspired against him, while he foolishly tarnished the century-old reputation of Duke Li Guo’s Mansion for her, and harmed his innocent and kind wife. Thinking about the pain from his ribs broken by the horse, and his deep affection for her, he wished he could gouge out his own eyes. How could he have been so foolish to fall for such a pretentious, deceitful woman?

Seeing Mo Zili looking at her with a sinister gaze, Du Wanqing hurriedly argued, "Zili, don’t listen to him. He is framing me. How could I harm you? You’ve been so good to me, I’m still grateful and love you too much to do such a thing!"

Without any politeness, Wang Cai exposed her, saying, "That’s because you heard the Young Master was going to have children with the Young Madam. You’re afraid the child in your stomach is a girl, and if the Young Madam conceives a son, then you wouldn’t be able to give birth to the eldest son, thereby losing any chance to become the Young Madam of the mansion."

"No, it’s not like that. He’s lying; he’s framing me!" Du Wanqing cried out, turning to Mo Zili with a look of being wronged, "Zili, this dog slave is deliberately trying to drag me down. He’s slandering me, Zili, how could I possibly harm you? You must stand up for me..."

Seeing her putting on a dramatic display of tears, and fearing that his master might soften, Wang Cai hurriedly added fuel to the fire, "Miss, just stop pretending to be innocent. You’ve always been the most scheming one. After hearing from the Imperial Physician that the scar on your face wouldn’t fade after three months, you schemed to terminate your pregnancy, and even pinned the blame of the miscarriage on the Young Madam. In doing so, you could eliminate a rival and take the opportunity to treat your face. You thought others didn’t know about these deeds." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

At these words, Mo Zili’s heart shook again, and his expression became indescribable—stunned, shocked, angry, regretful, frenzied. Eventually, it all turned into a chilling laughter.
