35 Dont Lie to Me (1/2)

Wet Nurse Chen's face darkened. When she saw He Xi's yellow face and skinny body, tears started welling up in her eyes. It was all her fault putting Missy in such a difficult position.

He Xi said, ”Wet Nurse, don't worry. I'll settle the food and the money. Tell Mo Three to bring Lee Four over to see me.”

Quickly, the weary and skinny Lee Four was brought to He Xi.

Once he saw He Xi, his entire body shivered; and his eyes were filled with horror as he pounced in front of He Xi to kowtow to her. ”Missy, I know I'm wrong. I shouldn't have listened to Uncle and harmed you. Please, let me off.”

Lee Four personally saw his uncle's bitter look when he died, and he had also seen Mo Three and the rest listen to He Xi's words without a soul in their eyes. At this point, he was petrified of this jinx in front of him.

Slowly, He Xi stood up and walked to Lee Four, staring down at him from above. ”I can save your pathetic life if you tell me who Manager Zhang that sold me to Tao Tie Pavilion was.”

”It's… it's Zhang Dezhong!” Lee Four did not dare to hide and hurriedly answered with a shaky voice. ”He's the cousin of Madam's mother. He is Big Young Master and Second Missy's favorite. In the last half a year, he was responsible for sending the resources to the house.

”I… Uncle and I were bewitched by him so we helped him knock Missy out and send you to the city. However, I really had nothing to do with selling you to Tao Tie Pavilion! Missy, please have mercy on me. I won't dare to do it anymore!”

There was a stern look in He Xi's eyes as she said lightly, ”Where can I find Zhang Dezhong?”

After a slight hesitation, Lee Four lowered his eyes and answered fearfully, ”I don't know either. Manager Zhang is such a big figure; how can I—such a lowly person—know of his tracks…? Ah… ah… ah…!”

Before he could finish his sentence, He Xi flipped him around—with her foot and her left leg landed on his chest. ”I forgot to tell you that my temper is terrible. If you dare lie to me, I won't let you die; but I'll make sure that living is more painful than death for you.”
