Free Web NovelChapter 2168: Chapter 2169: Repent Before the Grave
Although he had already guessed that saying this would certainly make Dongfang Mingkun very agitated and he would immediately send people to rescue Dongfang Jinbao, even if Dongfang Jinbao had become a useless person, he would not give up.
However, upon seeing this scene, Dongfang Shu could not help but feel uncomfortable, experiencing a mix of emotions.
After all, she and Dongfang Jinbao are both Dongfang Mingkun’s children, but the difference between them is like heaven and earth.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that in Dongfang Mingkun’s heart, there’s no place for Dongfang Shu, only for Dongfang Jinbao, as if Dongfang Shu’s existence is redundant.
Yes, redundant!
Ye Xunhuan seemed to feel the bitterness in Dongfang Shu’s heart. He slowly reached out his hand to hold Dongfang Shu’s slightly cold jade hand and gave her a look, as if saying: You still have me!
After understanding the meaning in Ye Xunhuan’s gaze, the haze in Dongfang Shu’s heart vanished, and a warmth enveloped her heart completely.
Although Dongfang Mingkun screamed hysterically, ordering people to save Dongfang Jinbao and stop his bleeding, no one dared to move.
Because at this moment, everyone feared Ye Xunhuan, afraid that if they stepped forward, Ye Xunhuan would take them down.
After all, the pressure brought by Ye Xunhuan was too immense, unparalleled, and it filled them with extreme fear that couldn’t be erased.
Moreover, without Ye Xunhuan’s nod, who would dare to go forward just based on Dongfang Shu’s words? What if Ye Xunhuan didn’t agree?
Then, Ye Xunhuan slowly spoke: "Save him."
Ye Xunhuan knew what Dongfang Shu meant. She wanted Dongfang Jinbao to live, whether it was to torment him, making him live in pain for a lifetime, or if she truly wanted him to live. None of this mattered to Ye Xunhuan.
Now Dongfang Jinbao was completely a useless person, not worth mentioning.
With Ye Xunhuan’s remark, the servants of the Dongfang family immediately took Dongfang Jinbao away to stop his bleeding.
After Dongfang Jinbao was taken away, Dongfang Shu slowly said, "Dongfang Mingkun, we’ll settle our scores at my mother’s grave, but for now, I’ll deal with the others in your Dongfang family first!"
Hearing Dongfang Shu’s words, everyone in the Dongfang family shivered, fear slowly appearing on their faces.
The next moment, a dull thud was heard as an old half-witted woman fell to her knees, continually kowtowing to Dongfang Shu: "Shu, I was wrong, please forgive me, forgive me..."
"At that time, it was all Wu Lanqin who made us treat you and your mother like that, really, it was all Wu Lanqin..."
This woman, who claimed to be Dongfang Shu’s aunt, started kneeling, and others quickly followed suit, all kneeling on the ground, displaying typical herd behavior.
At this moment, whether people of the Dongfang family or the external reinforcements invited by Dongfang Mingkun, everyone clearly understood that with Ye Xunhuan standing there, no one could stop Dongfang Shu’s revenge unless the King themselves arrived.
But would the King come?
Though Dongfang family is an ancient martial family, it’s not enough to catch the King’s eye.
Instantly, almost all the Dongfang family members knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing, begging for Dongfang Shu’s forgiveness.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but sigh, and at the same time, his gaze slowly fell upon Dongfang Shu.
Yet at this moment, Ye Xunhuan’s gaze became somewhat complex.
How Dongfang Shu survived all these years in the Dongfang family, how she endured, almost the entire family bullied her!
The humiliation she faced was unimaginable to Ye Xunhuan, or perhaps he didn’t even dare to imagine it.
Because once, he had no father, and Qin Fenghuang single-handedly raised him, often being called a bastard, a fatherless child!
Dongfang Shu was perhaps worse off than Ye Xunhuan because those who insulted Ye Xunhuan were no relatives, while all of Dongfang Shu’s tormentors were.
What kind of torment is this, how heartbreakingly painful is it?
The external reinforcements invited by Dongfang Mingkun all looked at each other.
They dared not imagine Dongfang Shu’s childhood either, considering so many people were kneeling, even including the Dongfang family’s servants.
Her childhood was truly worse than a dog’s!
In fact, it was indeed so. Dongfang Shu’s childhood was genuinely worse than a dog’s, otherwise, she wouldn’t be so eager to climb up, so keen to win over Ye Xunhuan.
She had suffered hardships, endured too many pains, and most were unbearable to recall.
She had to make herself strong, find a strong backing, or else, she would never be able to exact revenge in this lifetime.
Looking at the people kneeling in front of her, Dongfang Shu’s expression flickered between different emotions!
"So you can feel fear and dread; I thought you couldn’t!"
Speaking, Dongfang Shu laughed, a very desolate and bitter laugh!
"What now, can’t present the strength you had when you bullied my mother and me, now learning to beg like a dog?" Dongfang Shu roared: "When my mother and I begged for mercy back then, why couldn’t you show a shred of kindness?"
"Why?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
No one answered Dongfang Shu, instead, everyone just knelt on the ground, incessantly kowtowing and repenting!
"You want me to forgive you, fine, all of you crawl to my mother’s grave and repent!" Dongfang Shu screamed hysterically: "Everyone, crawl there, if anyone is missing, today I will consign the Dongfang family to history!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Shu’s words, these people immediately got up from the ground, then frantically ran outside.
They weren’t escaping, but heading to Dongfang Shu’s mother’s grave to repent since they knew that running was useless and couldn’t solve any problem.
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan suddenly said, "You external reinforcements, follow them too; if any of them are missing, I’ll pay a visit to your homes or sects!"
Threat.
It was another threat, and a blatant one at that.
Yet faced with Ye Xunhuan’s blatant threat, they had no choice but to comply, following the others like grandchildren.
Of course, they considered running, but they knew it was futile; you can run but not hide from the monastery!
Moreover, Dongfang Mingkun was still here, and although they were external reinforcements invited by Dongfang Mingkun, since they hadn’t been of any help, Dongfang Mingkun probably already bore a grudge. By the time Ye Xunhuan used some means, Dongfang Mingkun would very likely reveal all about their origins and identities. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
By then, if Ye Xunhuan really sought them out, they’d have nowhere to cry if things went south.
