"Don't be so fierce, she's still a child."
"She's already so old, but she can't even speak human language. You're the only one who spoils her."
He Qingling was finally pushed into tears by him, biting her little fist in her mouth. The maturity and stability she had that day, as well as her graceful figure, were completely gone. At this moment, she was just a little girl with the figure of an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I want to talk to this sister."
He Qingling wiped her tears and continued talking without anyone trying to comfort her.
"My father was originally a general under the Emperor of Okong. He was ordered to come to Great Chu to secretly build up his power, just to be able to conspire for great things one day. This is not only the case in Chu, but also in other countries."
Qingwan had known this would happen, so she was not surprised when she heard what He Qingling said. But Fu Yuheng looked as if he had heard a huge joke, with an extremely disdainful look in his eyes.
"How greedy! The Okong Kingdom is indeed worthy of its reputation."
His words were full of sarcasm and contempt.
Unexpectedly, the little girl was not angry at all. Instead, she seemed to agree with it, which puzzled Fu Yuheng.
"That's exactly what you said! They are just a bunch of lazy, arrogant bastards! The subordinates they educated are also old bastards. My mother was unlucky to marry my father. She has never had a good day in her life and has suffered torture and pain!"
Having said this, the girl suddenly stopped crying, and her expression was full of determination.
"If you can help me get rid of my father and avenge my mother, I will tell you everything I know and never disturb your life again."
"Why should I believe that what you said is true?" Fu Yuheng said coldly.
"I... I have a token that my father carries with him. It's what he used to help me meet guests. Maybe it can be of some use."
Fu Yuheng didn't even blink, threw a bottle of something in front of He Qingling and asked her to choose.
"What's this?"
She couldn't help but ask.
"This is poison. If you take it, it will take effect every three days. If you really lie to me, you will end up dead without a burial place."
He Qingling shuddered and hesitated while holding the medicine bottle.
Fu Yuheng didn't even raise his eyes, took Shen Qingwan's hand and was about to leave.
"etc!"
He Qingling suddenly made up his mind, uncorked the bottle, took a pill and ate it.
"Now you can believe that what I said is true, right?"
Fu Yuheng smiled cunningly, put his arm around Shen Qingwan's waist, and said kindly: "Not bad, you are quite courageous. I will trust you this time. Now, tell me everything you know. If you are honest, I will definitely help you achieve your wish."
He Qingling was dazed by his smile for a moment, then quickly collected her thoughts, muttering to herself that this man was really hard to deal with, and he wouldn't respond to any soft or hard tactics. It seemed that she had to change her plan.
After listening to everything she said, Fu Yuheng frowned and remained silent, as if he was judging how much truth this woman said.
He Qingling was so angry that he couldn't help but yelled, "I have taken the medicine you gave me, but you still don't believe me. What do you want me to do to make you believe me?"
Fu Yuheng smiled indifferently: "I haven't spoken yet, why are you in such a hurry? Girl, if you want to play tricks on me, you can wait another two years."
He Qingling's face turned red. She wanted to refute, but she didn't have the courage to throw a tantrum. She knew that this man was not someone she could control, and she couldn't see through the woman sitting next to him either.
"How did you find us? You have to explain this, right?"
Qingwan reminded slowly while drinking tea.
A person doesn't even give the other person the most basic respect, and is timid in the situation. Not to mention that Fu Yuheng doesn't trust her, even I don't necessarily trust her that much.
He Qingling was now speechless, stammering with a wandering look in his eyes.
"If you don't want to say it, then I'll say it for you. When you saw us in the rich mansion that day, you knew that we must have a relationship with the royal family, so you used your men to keep an eye on us. I think that the inn where my wife and I are staying must be guarded by your men, so you can find us easily."
He Qingling stood up, breathing rapidly, and looked at Fu Yuheng in disbelief.
"You want to know why I found out so early, don't you?"
He Qingling didn't say anything, but the expression on his face clearly showed that.
"You thought you were a mantis stalking a cicada, but I ended up ruining your entire plan. I wanted you to follow me so that your people could live safely until now."
Fu Yuheng's expression turned cold, and he instantly moved to He Qingling's side. He pinched her neck with his big hands, tightening them little by little.
"What do you want to do? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll have your men carry your body to see your father!"
He Qingling's face turned pale, his throat was rolling and he couldn't speak, but anyone could see the unwillingness in his eyes.
How could this man be so smart? He revealed everything to her, but she was still so self-satisfied...
"Tell me or not? It's your choice. I'll only give you a moment to breathe. I've killed more than one person."
He Qingling began to struggle desperately.
"Let me go! You... a grown man... bullying a woman..."
Fu Yuheng didn't feel ashamed at all, instead he exerted even more strength in his hands.
"Well… "
He Qingling's eyes were turned up, and she was about to pass away. She was finally afraid and cried out, "I said, I said..."
Fu Yuheng then let go of her hand, and she fell to the ground.
"Ahem..."
Saliva kept flowing out of her mouth and fell on her lapels, making her look extremely disheveled. She no longer had the demeanor of a rich lady.
After finally catching her breath, she was too afraid to look at Fu Yuheng. She just staggered to Shen Qingwan's side, picked up the teacup and poured herself a glass of water to moisten her throat.
Hoarse voice.
"I didn't lie just now. I really wanted to use you to get rid of my father."
"Speak to the point, don't talk nonsense."
He Qingling gritted her teeth, paused for a moment, and then reluctantly said, "But I am not the daughter of the general. I am the illegitimate daughter of the royal family of Okong. That man said he was my father, but he never cared about me. He even beat my mother to death after she gave birth to me, and left me to fend for myself in this unfamiliar place."
Qingwan was dumbfounded. How could there be such a cruel father in this world
"You think he's a worthless person? Humph, he has done more than just this one cruel thing. My mother and he were originally in love, but the royal family was ruthless. Once his throne was involved, they abandoned her without hesitation, and even threw her life away. How sad."
"Why can those men inherit his throne, while I, an unwanted orphan, will be trapped in a foreign land for the rest of my life, with no one caring whether I live or die."
