The Demon King had always been the one to take the initiative, forcing her to accept his love. Even though Lady Yue knew that the Demon King liked her, liked her very, very much, she still hated him.
The hatred from the fall of a kingdom was too heavy to bear. If she didn’t find soone to hate, how could she continue living?
But now the Demon King said he was tired.
What did that an? Was he thinking of giving up on her?
Originally, upon hearing this, she should have been very happy, but at this mont, she felt no joy at all.
Her heart felt empty, her mind a blank, not knowing what she was thinking at all.
"How is that possible."
Bai Zhi seriously thought it over and finally realized there was one person she had never suspected, the only victim in the whole affair, Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu, who should still be in her courtyard now.
But how could it be? She was still a child, such a frail child.
But if you were trapped in the Ice Cave, enduring that inhumane pain every few days, unable to change anything, day after day, year after year.
Every day she ca in pain, and every day ended in pain.
Shouldn’t she hate?
Though there was motive, Bai Zhi didn’t want to suspect her just like that.
"This is a family matter for you to resolve among yourselves, but this person must be punished."
Bai Zhi’s gaze coldly turned towards Lady Yue.
No matter if there was soone else behind it, Lady Yue’s actions led to their deaths, and having done it, there must be consequences.
Bai Zhi took out a flute and slowly began to play. At first, they found the sound pleasant, but it quickly brought a dizzying sensation rushing towards Lady Yue.
Lady Yue had truly never suffered; her childhood was filled with luxury, and after eting the Demon King, she continued to live in comfort. How could she endure such pain?
Besides, there were people who couldn’t bear it, right?
As expected, the Demon King and Li Mu knelt down directly.
"Please, let my mother go."
"Please, can you let Lady Yue go? I’m willing to take responsibility."
Looking at the two before her, Bai Zhi didn’t take them to heart and didn’t stop.
Bai Fei, however, sneered from the side. "What? Li Mu, do you think my sister owes your mom sothing?
You need to understand that she almost got us killed."
"But isn’t it fine since nothing happened?" The Demon King hurriedly interjected. "As long as nothing happened, a lighter punishnt can do."
Upon hearing these words, the Empress Dowager suddenly realized that her grandson was indecisive, unable to see what the most correct choice was.
It’s rare to see soone speak so boldly after causing harm.
"Forgive? Sorry, you’re willing, but I’m not."
They only just had a fight, a verbal fight. Not winning and yet having the nerve to ask her. "Who says just because you say ’I’m sorry,’ I have to forgive?
Apologizing is what you should do, but asking to forgive, that’s impossible."
"Bai Zhi, I beg you, my mom doesn’t have bad intentions, and besides, you know the situation in our family."
Li Mu began to speak, sobbing and sniffling.
Bai Zhi’s lips twitched, "Don’t talk nonsense, I know nothing."
Bai Fei: "..."
Li Mu: "..."
Li Mu only then realized he had misspoken. But... but soone should understand his feelings as a son.
"Li Mu, today I nearly died."
Bai Fei looked at Li Mu in despair. She almost died. If Xingxing hadn’t broken the formation, maybe she wouldn’t be alive now.
