Chapter 418 - What Did She Mean? (1/2)
”Why did you agree to the demand of whoever it was behind you?! Do you deliberately want to oppose my decision as well?!” Wang Luo Hai asked with a hint of ruthlessness on his face. Someone dared to play around with the decision that he had made. Not only that, he genuinely liked the couple and who knew... they were actually connected to Jiu Lan in a magical way.
No one dared to talk when they saw how angry Wang Luo Hai was --- even Madam Wang was shuddering when she saw the look on his face. After all, Wang Luo Hai was usually a happy-go-lucky person who rarely got angry. She had never seen him this vexed before.
Why... Why were Yao Ying and Yao Ling so important to him? They were just nobodies! They were just stepchildren that could be replaced at any moment! However, she didn't dare to say her thoughts out loud... She merely gritted her teeth and stayed still on the side while looking at the couple in hatred.
Concubine Xi quickly answered guiltily, ”She... she... had taken my only sister... I could only do her bidding, otherwise, she would kill her...” She answered with the truth. She had covered up the fact that she had failed, but after Yao Ying and Yao Ling had arrived safely yesterday, she knew that the mastermind must have been angered to death.
She couldn't sleep and it made it easier for her to be affected by the drug. She hadn't gotten the time to beg the mastermind to let off her sister... However, the mastermind was currently inside the room as well... She had betrayed her, so she knew that she wouldn't let off her sister and her!
When Concubine Xi realized that she had blurted out the truth just now, she knew that she couldn't cover it up anymore --- besides, the guilt kept bothering her, making her feel distressed, and it made her live in fear all the time! Maybe... Maybe... Wang Luo Hai could save her sister just by looking at the fact that she had been serving him for so long.
Concubine Xi quickly kowtowed while knocking her head to the ground and asked for his help, ”Please help me save her, Master! Please!” She didn't even care if her forehead was hurt --- it was more important for her to save her sister and of course, her own life.
If she wasn't being threatened, she wouldn't want to involve herself in this matter. She was just a mere concubine. Would she get any benefits from killing Yao Ying and Yao Ling? Not really... after all, she didn't have any child herself.
'She was actually being threatened!' Yao Ling thought to herself. She looked at Concubine Xi in contemplation from behind the Matriarch, the latter didn't look back and thought that Yao Ling was scared of Concubine Xi's behavior and Yao Ling deliberately let her think that way. She wanted to see the reaction of each person inside the room carefully, however, she found no abnormality there.
Yao Ling squinted her eyes. If she remembered it correctly, Concubine Xi was a commoner's daughter and she indeed had one little sister. Their age gap was quite big so the little girl must have been only twelve at this time.
She sighed when she looked at Concubine Xi, however, Yao Ling didn't feel any pity for her. If she didn't retaliate, she would be the one who was dead first --- along with Yao Ying. She knew that she was being forced, but she could have chosen another way out. In the end, she had chosen to kill them, it meant that they were also nothing to her eyes.
There was no use to help such people. Besides, Yao Ling was also selfish. Her family was also her priority, so in a way, she also knew why Concubine Xi made such a decision.
Wang Luo Hai whistled and called his shadow guards over, telling one of them to go search for Concubine Xi's sister while the others were surrounding the dining room. Wang Luo Hai wanted to catch the mastermind.
”Tell me! Who is the mastermind?!” Wang Luo Hai asked.
Concubine Xi looked up and opened her mouth to tell him the name, however, she suddenly gasped and fell in a thud. Wang Luo Hai quickly squatted down and checked on her, he found that she had already died on the spot.
