He was murdered after his family was wiped out and left with no descendants; his whole family knelt

Chapter 118 My Cousin Returns Home

Bai Chanzi remained as gentle and compliant as ever, but Chen Xiangyu felt a chill run down her spine.

She really didn't want to lift the white sheet covering the two corpses, but when she saw Bai Chanzi's eyes, she couldn't help but feel afraid.

Bai Chanzi's eyes were completely different from when she was in the Qiao family; they were cold and icy, even exuding a powerful killing intent.

Chen Xiangyu dared not resist and could only reach out to lift the white cloth.

She recognized the two already decomposed corpses under the white sheet!

How could Chen Xiangyu possibly forget the person who had served her for so many years!

That's Feng Niu!

Chen Xiangyu's legs had already gone weak with fear, and she knelt down on the ground with a thud, her body trembling uncontrollably.

He can't even speak clearly.

"Second Madam...Second Madam...It has nothing to do with me. It was all Xu Biyun's doing. I..."

"I...I really was just following her orders. Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to kidnap Young Master Anlan."

At this moment, Qiao Qingshu also slowly walked out and stood beside Bai Chanzi.

“Aunt Chen, Fengniu didn’t say that before she died.”

"She said that Xu Biyun was planning to kidnap people, and you agreed with her. However, Xu Biyun was struggling to find a trustworthy servant, so you enthusiastically pushed Fengniu out to do it and even promised her a lot of money."

Aunt Chen's last thread snapped; she knew she couldn't deny it anymore.

Xu Biyun had tricked her by saying that if Qiao Anlan was eliminated, her son Qiao Antai would have a chance to inherit the family business. That was exactly what she was thinking when she joined Xu Biyun in doing bad things.

But who could have imagined that not long after Qiao Anlan was abducted, just as she was placing all her hopes on her son, her son Qiao Antai fell ill with a high fever that wouldn't subside for days and became mentally disabled.

She cried countless times that night, feeling that she was being punished for doing bad things, and she was filled with remorse.

But there's no going back in life, so she could only swallow her anger, bear the consequences, and continue living as if she knew nothing.

Bai Chanzi gently picked up a pair of fire tongs from the weapon rack and walked to Aunt Chen.

"Chen Xiangyu, I'll make you taste the suffering my son endured."

After saying that, he pried open her mouth and inserted the fire tongs.

The piercing screams echoed through the dungeon, then fell silent after a moment.

Aunt Chen cried out in pain, her mouth full of blood, but no sound came out.

Bai Chanzi then threw away the fire tongs in her hand and raised an iron rod to strike Aunt Chen's legs hard.

"Pfft!"

Aunt Chen knelt limply on the ground, her legs twisted in an extremely contorted position.

Bai Chanzi coldly tossed away the iron rod, slowly squatted down, and pinched her chin.

"Is it bitter, painful, and uncomfortable?"

“My son has endured all this torment over the years, and you will bear every single bit of what he has gone through!”

Aunt Chen opened her mouth as if to speak, but it was full of blood, and she could no longer utter a single word.

For the first time, she felt death was not far away, and regret welled up in her eyes.

She cried and kept kowtowing to Bai Chanzi, begging her to spare her life.

Bai Chanzi looked down at her broken legs, her brows furrowing slightly.

"When my Anlan's legs were broken, did he also cry and kneel before you, begging for mercy? Did you ever spare him?"

Aunt Chen's back stiffened instantly, her eyes filled with despair. She knew that Bai's words meant she had absolutely no chance of getting out alive.

With real death looming before her, her panic subsided, and a hopeless calm settled on her face.

She stopped kowtowing violently, and instead raised her head, put her hands together, and looked at Bai Chanzi with repentance in her eyes.

Chen Xiangyu truly regretted it at this moment, knowing that everything she had done today was entirely her own fault.

She also knew that although Bai Chanzi didn't treat her well when she was in the Qiao family, she had never made things difficult for her.

She knew that as a concubine, to have such a mistress was already an extremely rare and good thing.

But her greed blinded her, leading her to commit such an unforgivable crime.

She then kowtowed three more times to Bai Shi with utmost reverence.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly and slammed his head against the wall.

She knew this was the most dignified way for her to die.

The most undignified person sought dignity even in death.

Qiao Qingshu frowned slightly, gazing at Aunt Chen's limp body, and slowly exhaled.

"This is the only time Aunt Chen has ever been smart."

Bai Chanzi squinted. She had already thought of a thousand and one ways to torture Aunt Chen, but all these methods seemed meaningless at the moment Aunt Chen committed suicide.

She said softly,

"Take these three bodies out and dispose of them."

The mother and daughter walked out of the dungeon together.

Qiao Qingshu looked at her mother's indifferent expression and said,

"Mother, how are you feeling?"

Bai Chanzi gazed into the distance with a calm expression.

"If she doesn't commit suicide, I will take action."

After a pause, Bai Chanzi stared intently at Qiao Qingshu.

"Shu'er, don't let the Qiao family get away with this! I'll destroy the Qiao family with you!"

Looking at her mother, who clearly distinguished between love and hate, Qiao Qingshu felt a surge of pleasure.

She was worried that her mother would soften her heart again and fall into the trap of indecisiveness.

But her mother didn't; her mother truly stood on the same side as her.

Since her rebirth, she has been very clear that her goal is revenge.

She also knew that the actions of someone with such a resolute heart for revenge were absolutely unconventional and incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Ever since she was reborn, she has always felt lonely, as if she is always fighting against the whole world alone.

But at this moment she was very happy, because her mother's attitude was now the same as hers!

In other words, she now has a new ally on her path of revenge: her mother!

She couldn't hide her joy; she went up to her mother and hugged her, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Mother, I’ve always worried that you wouldn’t understand me. Thank you, thank you.”

Bai Chanzi gently stroked her daughter's head and said slowly but firmly,

“I didn’t understand before, but now I understand everything.”

"You are my child, and I will always be by your side to help you do everything you want to do."

Qiao Qingshu hugged her mother with tears in her eyes, and both of them choked up.

Qiao Family

When Qiao Qingshu returned to the Qiao family, she was surprised to see Liu Wan'er and Xiao Chengyan entering the Qiao family together.

She frowned in confusion, wondering when Liu Wan'er had gotten together with Xiao Chengyan again.

She hurriedly entered the mansion and saw Wanqiu rushing towards her, saying in a flustered manner,

"Miss, you're finally back! My cousin said she wants to be Young Master Xiao's concubine, and they're currently discussing the marriage in the old lady's room."

Qiao Qingshu raised an eyebrow.

"Would Xiao Chengyan really want her?"

Late Autumn pouted and hurriedly said,

"Miss, you're really something! You say you're already pregnant!"
