162 The Grand Auction 7 (1/2)
” You there, not only did you slander me but also manipulated others with your words to go against me. Just because of your mistake, I don't want to punish everyone. Who gave you the courage to go against me?” Xia Lian's voice was no longer polite and her gaze was like daggers slicing the other party's hearts.
Lin Rong shivered under Xia Lian's gaze, it was as if she was a pest under those cold and bottomless eyes. She felt as if she was rooted to the spot and as if someone was choking her throat. No words were coming out. Why is she sensing such deep hatred from those eyes?
On seeing the trembling figure of her concubine mother, Xia Lian's lips curved up. It was a smile that did not reach her eyes.
” Shouldn't you be apologizing to me now?” there wasnot even a hint of respect in her voice as she spat out the words.
Lin Rong knew that she was the one who was impulsive this time. So, she did not make a fuss out of it and immediately apologist ” Please excuse me for my rash behavior.”
Lin Rong felt that she did pretty good in apologizing, but her whole body turned cold after hearing the following words…
” Are you taking me for a fool or are you thinking that you can spout all sort of nonsense and get away with it. Not everything can be fixed with a single word called sorry…”
” Kneel and apologize to me…”
Xia Lian didn't feel even the slightest bit of pity for the woman. They were chased away from their home and if not for that veiled man and her friends, she and Xia Ming would not have lasted this long. Her mother was missing and her whereabouts were unknown till date. It was clear that her mother was hiding from someone as she even requested the emperor to take care of them in her absence. Who knew what kind of hardships she was facing?
With the thought of her missing mother, the last shred of pity disappeared from Xia Lian's heart. It was already a miracle that she did not tear up the woman before her into pieces. She was not a saint and she would definitely make the woman kneel before her.
And this would be only the beginning…
Xia Lian was not the one who would kill her enemies or torture them physically. She would rather make sure that they would regret their existence on the earth. It would be the same for Lin Rong, the woman would be crying tears of regret sooner or later.
Xia Jiang initially wanted to defend his wife but remembering that this Doctor Wu is someone related to the Imperial family, he held himself back. He glared at Lin Rong as if saying not to cause any more trouble.
Flinching under his gaze, Lin Rong understood that she had to kneel or else she would be disposed off by her own husband. She knew him too well and nothing is more important than her life.
