462. Chapter 462 I truly don't know

Suchin and them saw Qiao Sheng about to vomit; those holding the spittoon held the spittoon, those holding water held water, those handing the handkerchief handed the handkerchief, those handing the plum handed the plum…

Overall, each one was as thoughtful as possible.

Toward Qiao Sheng.

They took care of her as well as they could.

They were both women.

Both were pregnant.

Yet the difference was so great.

Ji Xue looked on, not too jealous.

Qiao Sheng took a while to recover; she didn't beat around the bush with Ji Xue, speaking directly: "Who ordered you to harm me?"

Ji Xue's heart gave a jolt.

But not long after.

Ji Xue calmed down again; if Qiao Sheng had substantive evidence, would she still need to ask her?

"What are you saying? I don't understand."

Even now she still wouldn't tell the truth.

Qiao Sheng spoke with a resounding thud.

"You don't understand, you don't understand and it's all your fault! You said earlier you returned to your parents' home after arguing with Li Da Shui, so what did you tell your husband's family?"

"Ji Xue, if you still won't tell the truth, I'll have them confront each other. I want to see whether your husband's family can tolerate a woman like you who lies through her teeth continuing to stay with them."

"You might think that because you have a son you can keep staying there, but do you think they'll still trust you afterward? Will they treat you as they did before?"

Ji Xue glared at Qiao Sheng and shouted: "Qiao Sheng, you vicious woman!"

Slap.

Suchin stepped forward and delivered two hard slaps to Ji Xue's face.

"Try being disrespectful to our young mistress again."

Ji Xue's face instantly swelled up like a steamed bun; although she was still resentful, she ultimately didn't dare to oppose Qiao Sheng.

Since Qiao Sheng is pregnant, it's not advisable to lay hands on her; the people around her are not pushovers.

Ji Xue pressed her lips into a thin line and said nothing more.

Suchin observed and said: "Young mistress, this woman probably won't confess easily. Let's hand her over to An Yi and his team for interrogation. They have various torture methods; they'll surely find a way to make her talk."

Upon hearing that they would torture her.

Ji Xue protested: "Qiao Sheng, you can't treat me like this! I'm Ji Fan's sister; if you dare do anything to me, my older brother won't treat your younger sister well in the future."

Do you think that would be enough to blackmail her?

Naive!

Qiao Sheng said coldly: "If your older brother is as clueless as you say, not only will I have my younger sister divorce him, but even that official position—he won't be able to keep it."

"You…"

Ji Xue's chest heaved with anger, but she didn't know what to say back to Qiao Sheng.

An Yi and his team quickly took Ji Xue away for interrogation.

Ji Xue feared both death and pain; after just two torture methods she couldn't bear it: "I'll talk, I'll talk—will that do?"

She related everything she knew.

After hearing her finish.

An Yi fixed his gaze on Ji Xue and asked: "Do you truly not know who wants to harm our young mistress's unborn child?"

"I truly don't know."

Ji Xue replied to him.

Although An Yi had begun to believe Ji Xue somewhat, he still applied another torture.

To confirm that it was indeed as she said.

An Yi reported what they had learned from the interrogation to Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng narrowed her eyes, had them find an artist, and asked Ji Xue to describe the appearances of those people.

Others are already after her child's life.

She certainly won't just let it go.

We must get to the bottom of it.

Feng An Nuan wasn't worried at all about this, because she had already had those people killed and dumped in the mountains to feed the wolves.

Nowadays, not only would finding them be impossible, even their bones might not be recoverable intact. (End of chapter)
