At the other end of the carriage, Sang Qingxiao cautiously stole a few glances at him. Seeing that he was composed, she gathered her courage and approached him. "About sending someone to the mine, can we discuss that?"
Qi Xiaomian replied without any anger, "You’re quite generous with your talismans, throwing them around like that."
"I can draw talismans quickly and they don’t cost much," she said. "Moreover, the Court's laws will take care of them. We can't let them show their faces; otherwise, the women in the building won't survive."
"I do have a method to erase their memories, but you’ve seen the books brought by the Shadow Guards. Each one is guilty of heinous crimes. Simply erasing their memories won’t negate their sins."
"Killing them would be too merciful. Letting them live in misery might quell some of the anger in the hearts of those women."
Sending them to the mine was the best method I could think of. If you’re not opposed, help me brainstorm some ideas.
Qi Xiaomian pretended to flip through his book for a few pages before lazily responding with a soft "Hmm." Sang Qingxiao almost didn’t hear him.
Once she realized it, she playfully asked him several more times, "Do you understand? Do you understand? Do you understand?"
Only when Qi Xiaomian was thoroughly annoyed did she sit down beside him and giggle to herself.
At least in Qi Xiaomian's eyes, she seemed silly and cheerful. In a place where she couldn’t see, Qi Xiaomian’s lips also curled up slightly due to the atmosphere in the carriage.
By the time they reached Meizhou City, dawn had broken. The group discreetly used the back door to bring Chen Xiucai into Zhang Residence's guest courtyard while avoiding attention.
They didn’t even need to call anyone; Zhang Linglong and Zhang Butler had already sent people to guard outside the courtyard. Upon receiving news, they rushed over immediately.
They intended to inquire about the situation at Chastity Tower but were unprepared for the sight of the unconscious Chen Xiucai. He had been carelessly tossed into a storage room in the guest courtyard, still wearing coarse clothing stripped from a corpse, with his eyebrows painted and lips adorned. Zhang Linglong took one look and instinctively retched before she could even recognize him.
After regaining her composure and confirming it was indeed Chen Xiucai, she ignored him and bowed deeply to Sang Qingxiao.
Sang Qingxiao hurriedly stopped her, "You’re still pregnant!"
Tears streamed down Zhang Linglong's cheeks as she smiled. "At least we found him."
As soon as she finished speaking, fearing misunderstandings, she added, "Finally, we can settle things with the Chen Family. To be honest, I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve been scared every time they came knocking again and again. But I can’t show it; the Zhang Family needs me to hold things together. If I show fear, the Zhang Family will completely collapse."
"I understand," Sang Qingxiao comforted her. "The days of suffocation are over. How do you plan to retaliate?"
Knowing what he had done made me think of many ways to take revenge on the Chen Family. Now it seems I can finally put them into action; I need to find that male minister first.
"Your relationship with that person is quite complicated; can you really negotiate with him while being involved romantically?"
"He's also a pitiful soul; who would willingly choose such a life? Moreover, he’s a man! He’s eager to break free from the Chen Family as well—after all, an enemy’s enemy is a friend. With shared goals, everyone gets what they need."
"Do you need my help?"
Zhang Linglong shook her head. "You've already helped me enough; I’ll handle the rest myself."
Sang Qingxiao spoke to her again about the woman in the building.
Zhang Linglong sighed after hearing this, realizing that if it weren't for them, her life would have been completely ruined. Although her current situation wasn't great, at least there was still room for maneuver.
In comparison, they were even more pitiful. She felt a strong desire to do something for them; if only she could rescue them from the building, that would be even better.
