Ying Ying felt at a loss at what to think when she heard all that...
Her mind was swirling around due to Yao Ling’s words... but once she thought back of her past, it made everything seed reasonable. So many unexplainable things that had happened beca reasonable because of this reason. No wonder...
She didn’t even know what she should say at this point --- her mind turned blank.
She was her adopted father’s real daughter?! What kind of joke was this? She didn’t know whether she should be sad or happy. She started to realize that Yao Ling really didn’t lie to her... there was a bigger conspiracy behind her father’s current predicant.
Ying Ying looked at Yao Ling in determination. "Knowing my real identity makes want to get revenge even more!" She said it loud and clear without any hesitation.
Yao Ling understood her and rely waved her hand, "Just do what you want to do... If you want to get revenge, I can help you but you have to solve this matter first." She pointed at the man leisurely.
"Thank you," Ying Ying said wholeheartedly. No matter what Yao Ling’s purpose was, it didn’t seem that she held any malicious intention towards her. Thus, she started to trust her a bit more. However, she still needed to listen to Yao Ling’s side of the story to determine whether she would join her or not.
No one would help her out of nowhere --- Yao Ling must have sothing that she wanted her to do as well.
Ying Ying turned to look at the man and asked, "Who sent you here?! Is it the second branch?" She more or less could start to guess about it. Besides, the only one who could convince her father’s private and used-to-be loyal servant to betray his real master would be them. After all, his daughter was the concubine of her brother from the second branch and it strengthened the relationship between them and that servant.
They must have been using that woman to persuade or forced that servant. Even if he was forced, she wouldn’t forgive that servant as well!
However, she had never thought of that because the relationship between both of the branch was quite good on the surface despite their hatred towards her. She wondered how could soone betray their own family ah~?! This made her hate the second branch even more. She was sure that the second branch must have been planning this matter for a long ti carefully --- otherwise, her adopted father wouldn’t be easily duped by them.
The man grinned at Ying Ying maliciously when he heard his question --- he was afraid of Feng but it didn’t an he was feeling afraid of this little woman. She had served him a few tis and he could still rember her sweet taste so it made him feel that this woman was his. "Ha - Ha - Ha! Why should I tell you that?" He said mockingly at Ying Ying.
Judging from the scene in front of him, he didn’t think that Ying Ying knew these people so it should be fine if he taunted Ying Ying. At least, he could make her angry which made him rember their passionate ti. The man’s mind was rotten to the core.
Feng felt like this man’s brain had gone to the wrong side for being so smug under his watch. He slapped the back of his head quite hard and said, "Do you still dare to play around? Tell this woman everything and answer each of her questions! Otherwise..." Feng gave him a pointed look at his mber down there while making a slashing gesture.
The man’s face changed when he followed his gaze --- did he want to castrate him? He shuddered when he saw the seriousness in Feng’s face. Because of that, he quickly beca obedient in a heart beat. He would do whatever Feng wanted him to do.
"I will... I will..." He answered numbly once again. He turned her gaze to Ying Ying and admitted, "Yes... Yes... It’s the second branch... Please... Please save , Ying-Er! I will do anything for you if you can save from them!" He begged Ying Ying, knowing that the woman seed to be quite important for these people at this mont.
He was desperate to survive!
The way he changed face so fast made Ying Ying wanted to vomit in disgust --- she wondered how could she do the deed with him ah~?! This man was beyond disgusting! However, everything had been too late and that was the path that she had chosen on her own so she could only bear with the consequences by herself.
"Tell what they wanted you to do in detail!" Ying Ying said sternly. She wanted to ask whether they wanted him to sully her body as well or not, however, she couldn’t ask him openly in front of so many people --- not knowing that so of them had already known about her night adventure with the man.
"They... they gave money but they didn’t tell that many things. One of their servants hired and said that I should follow you and make you believe in so that you will ask to help you find a man... If by chance... you really find the man, I’m allowed to kill you and I will get double rewards from them. On the other hand, if you find nothing, I should lead you on and let have a taste of your body as the first paynt..." He admitted ekly --- he was just doing what his boss told him to do so he didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong!
Who knew that soone important would be interested in this woman ah~?!
When Ying Ying heard his words, she felt like her body was being hit by thunder. Her body...? As a paynt? No matter what... she had been living as their daughter for so long and yet, they had the heart to do this towards her.
Yao Ling, Ning Jie, and Xiao Fang who heard such a crazy thing couldn’t help but gasp in disbelief as well --- they could only look pitifully at Ying Ying, but of course, they didn’t do it openly because it would make the woman feel ashad even more. They could only sigh inwardly...
"So... looking for the man is only a distraction?" She asked herself. She laughed and cried in despair, then... what the heck was she doing all this ti? She had thought that she had been helping her adopted family when the truth was... she was being played by the second branch!
The man nodded his head. "Yes... Only a distraction... I accidentally heard that the second branch really hated you because a shaman had told them that you were the one that killed their daughter... Your Ba-Zi [1] is too strong and it affected their daughter... Thus, she died because her Ba-Zi lost to you...’
Ying Ying could only look at the man in disbelief. Her life turned into a joke because of a random shaman?
