Free Web NovelChapter 3350: Chapter 3351: Forcing Her to Die
"Elder Zhu, it’s just those commoners can’t stand seeing me do well, that’s why they misunderstand me like this. Don’t believe those commoners’ words, I used to..."
"Have you ever done a single good deed before?" Elder Zhu questioned her again.
"I..."
Shen Yuan was at a loss for words.
And Elder Zhu once again took a deep breath.
You’ve talked long enough; now is not the time for this.
"The sour scholar has already sent someone to choose your marriage partner. On this joyous day at the City Lord’s Mansion, your marriage will be handled too. I will personally oversee you getting into the bridal sedan and, after going to the groom’s place, getting married."
"No, you can’t!"
Shen Yuan screamed, on the verge of madness.
What exactly does this Elder Zhu want to do? What’s wrong with her liking the Junior City Lord? Why force her to marry a man she doesn’t love?
And to marry today! Isn’t this forcing her to die?
"Elder Zhu, you can’t do this. If you force me to marry, I’d rather die right here in front of you... ah!"
She intended to use death to threaten Elder Zhu, but just as she finished speaking, a dagger was thrown in front of her, causing her to scream.
"Zh... Zhu Elder..."
She looked at the dagger on the ground in terror, then timidly glanced at Elder Zhu sitting at the head.
How can this old woman be so ruthless? She said she wanted to die, and not only did she not dissuade her, she threw a dagger over. Was she trying to make her die directly?
"Go ahead, you want to die, don’t you? I’ll lend you a knife, so you can die a painless death!" Elder Zhu looked at Shen Yuan coldly and said.
"I... I..."
Shen Yuan opened her mouth, filled with fear.
She was just saying it, threatening Elder Zhu a little, wasn’t actually wanting to die.
"Elder, Sixth Elder is outside requesting an audience."
After a moment of silence in the study, Elder Zhu’s attendant came in and spoke.
Upon hearing that her father was here, Shen Yuan was so excited that she nearly shouted at the attendant to let her father in quickly. She was waiting for her dad to save her.
But the words she was about to say were swallowed back upon seeing Elder Zhu’s sinister gaze.
She shrank her neck, not daring to say a word.
"Let him in."
Elder Zhu instructed the attendant.
"I want to see how he will plead for his shameless, ignorant daughter!"
"Yes, Elder."
After receiving the order, the attendant left.
Shen Yuan hung her head low, internally cursing Elder Zhu countless times through gritted teeth.
How was she being ignorant? Clearly, that woman named Lin Caisang is the one with no self-awareness, right?
Isn’t it a huge joke that a woman from the wild lands wants to become the Junior City Lord’s wife? The more terrifying part is that even the City Lord and his wife have been won over by that woman.
But she didn’t dare to say these words, fearing that if she did, Elder Zhu would strike her.
...
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion.
Zhe Jue walked up to Sui Zimo, whispering a sentence in his ear.
Sui Zimo glanced at Zhe Jue, frowning.
It seems these people really don’t take him seriously, planning to target his Caisang right in front of him?
"Go to Elder Zhu and deliver the message: tomorrow, we will replace several elders to bring peace to the City Lord’s Mansion. As for the candidates, I’ve already decided."
