Chapter 243, 243 sets of platitudes
Inside the Zhao residence, after Ye Pianran and the others had left, Master Zhao finally looked directly at Wang Bao, who was still kneeling on the ground. Seeing his head bowed and his face rather gloomy, he sneered:
"What, you can't bear to part with that little bitch?"
Wang Bao's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly looked up and said, "No! Master, it really was that little slut who seduced me. Even if I had a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to covet your woman!"
"You dog—hiss!" Master Zhao was furious. He wanted to kick Wang Bao, but a layer of flesh was ripped off his back, and he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat. So he grabbed whatever was at hand and smashed it on Wang Bao's head.
"I wouldn't dare covet you, you fucking slept with me! You're asking for trouble, sleeping with my man!"
Poor Wang Bao, whose face was still bleeding from the blow Zhao Yuanwai had hit him, now had a new injury, making him look extremely disheveled.
He didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe the blood from his face, so he changed the subject and said, "Sir, what do you think of what the female doctor said about the white jade Guanyin?"
Upon hearing the mention of the white jade Guanyin statue, Master Zhao's expression immediately changed. He lost all interest in punishing Wang Bao, and his expression turned fearful: "What she said is true. Just now, when the poison took effect, I suddenly couldn't move, and then I had an extremely terrifying dream..."
At this point, Master Zhao shuddered and dared not continue, clearly still terrified by the nightmare.
“Sir, the one who tied the knot must untie it. Do you think we should…” Wang Bao asked, giving a wink to the outside.
Yes, the one who tied the knot must untie it! If you want to break free from that nightmare and never be tormented by that terrible dream again, there is only one way!
"But I have already given the jade pendant to someone else. I don't know if it will still work out?" Master Zhao asked hesitantly.
“The jade pendant is merely a medium. If you are sincere, sir, you will surely be able to break free from that nightmare,” Wang Bao said.
"Hmm, that makes some sense." Master Zhao nodded, then suddenly realized what he meant. He glared at Wang Bao fiercely and said, "You're always trying to be clever. I'll let you off this time because you're still useful. But if I find out you're up to no good again, I'll twist your head off and use it as a football!"
Wang Bao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I will never dare to do it again."
"Go and make preparations, I'm leaving the manor immediately!" Master Zhao sneered.
Wang Bao responded with "Yes," and hurriedly got up to make the arrangements. After finally finishing, he took the opportunity to go to a secluded spot to catch his breath, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice behind him.
"It seems that old bastard didn't do anything to you. You really are one of his good dogs."
Wang Bao was startled and hurriedly turned around. He saw Min'er standing behind him with an unfriendly expression. After his shock, in order to cover his guilt, he quickly stepped forward, covered her mouth with one hand, and pulled her into an empty room.
"Why are you back? Hurry up and leave. If that old bastard sees you, he'll never forgive you!" Wang Bao said to Min'er in a low voice.
Min'er sneered and said, "So what if you saw it? At worst, you can expose me again and let that old bastard kill me and cut me into a thousand pieces!"
"No! No!" Wang Bao hugged Min'er and coaxed, "I can't bear to see you die, I just want you to live!"
"Why didn't you say that to that old bastard just now? Now you're putting on airs!" Min'er said, her eyes reddening, full of grievance, as she twisted her body, trying to break free from Wang Bao's embrace.
Wang Bao hugged her even tighter, repeatedly saying, "I was wrong, I was wrong, but I had no choice. If I had admitted it in front of him, we would both have died!"
"Yes, your life is far more important than mine!" Min'er said angrily. "Since you want me dead, then I'll die right now to prove you wrong!"
Wang Bao's expression changed, and he said, "Min'er! Don't joke about this!"
Min'er was stunned for a moment after being yelled at, then burst into tears, feeling wronged. Her tears flowed like a torrential rain, completely wetting her fair and delicate cheeks, making her even more pitiful.
"Waaaaah... I'm so miserable. Not only did my parents die young, but I was also sold to a tavern to sing songs for people. Then I fell for a bully's scheme and became his concubine. Finally, I met someone who truly cared for me, but he's a coward who's afraid of death... Waaaaah, what's the point of me living..."
"Don't cry, don't cry," Wang Bao wiped away her tears and coaxed her gently, "That was just a temporary measure. No one in the Zhao family knows that old bastard better than me. If that female doctor hadn't saved you, that old bastard would definitely have made me kill you with my own hands. I had already decided that if he dared to do that, I would definitely stab him with a knife first and end his life."
"You're trying to lie to me again. You never tell the truth..." Min'er sobbed, which softened Wang Bao's heart, and he started talking more.
"Baby, trust me, I have other ways to kill that old bastard. I truly want to be your wife..."
Min'er finally stopped crying, raised her head, and looked at Wang Bao: "Really?"
"If I ever lie to you again, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death..." Min'er covered his mouth, preventing him from saying anything more. She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said:
"Alright, I'll trust you this one more time..."
Wang Bao breathed a sigh of relief, then remembered to ask, "By the way, didn't you leave with that female doctor? How did you get back to the Zhao residence?"
With tears in her eyes, Min'er said, "I never left at all. I'm just waiting here to ask you for an explanation."
Seeing that she was about to cry again, Wang Bao could only try to comfort her. Min'er finally stopped crying and asked, "You just said there was another way to deal with that old bastard, what is it? Is it related to the Guanyin jade pendant?"
Wang Bao's expression changed, and he said vaguely, "Don't worry about this matter, just leave it to me."
"Hmph," Min'er snorted coldly in dissatisfaction, pushed Wang Bao away, and said, "In the end, it's because you don't trust me. You don't want to live with me at all."
Wang Bao hurriedly said, "I trust you, but this matter is just too... too... Alas, it's better if you don't know!" In the end, he even sighed.
Min'er had no interest in this matter before, but now she was intrigued and asked curiously, "What did that old bastard do to be so afraid of that Guanyin jade pendant?"
"Trust me, knowing this won't do you any good. Just know that when I return, all the possessions of the Zhao family will be ours, and that's enough," Wang Bao coaxed, patting Min'er's back gently.
Even after pressing him for details, Min'er knew she couldn't get anything out of Wang Bao if she continued asking. So she could only say:
"Alright then, you must be careful."
"Don't wander off. Just stay here and wait for me to come back," Wang Bao said solemnly. He gently patted Min'er's cheek, then let go of her, turned around, opened the door, and carefully left.
After Wang Bao walked away, two figures quietly descended from the roof beam; they were Ye Pianran and Ye Lingyue.
"Miss, I'm so sorry, but he was too tight-lipped, and I couldn't get anything more out of him." Min'er wasn't surprised to see the two of them; instead, she apologized to Ye Pianran.
Ye Pianran replied, "It's alright. You've done very well. At least I know that where they're going now is definitely related to that white jade Guanyin pendant."
Clenching her fists, Ye Pianran's gaze turned completely cold.
She had a feeling that Xue Ling was definitely there!
