Chapter 16: Whether you can be saved depends on yourself

by lightning!She clutched her hands tightly, staring at him in disbelief!The man's smirk at the corner of his lips was so obvious it choked her remaining words back down her throat.A flash of coldnes...The next day.

Xiao Zonghan had indeed set up a stage inside the mansion, inviting Chu girl to come in and watch a play.

A man embraced a beautiful woman sitting in the main seat, while those serving underneath dared not even breathe, their eyes fixed on their own palms.

"Qing Wan, this grape is very sweet. Try one." A glint in his eye caught sight of a flash of clothing outside the door. Xiao Zong Han's lips curled into an evil smirk, but his voice remained soft as silk.

Shen Siyin's footsteps paused slightly, her gaze falling on the man's handsome face. In her heart, a sour feeling suddenly rose.

For seven years of marriage, he had never treated her with such tenderness...

It seems he sensed her gaze. The man raised his eyes, the gentleness from before now vanished: "General and Qingwan have been waiting for ages. Why are you only just coming out So slow, are you finding it beneath you to perform for me"

His eyes were full of sarcasm.

Shen Siyin's face paled, "No," she suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and with a flick of her long sleeves, a melodious sound echoed...

As her voice rose, Xiao Zonghan's face grew increasingly grim, his grip on Chu Qingwan's waist tightening.

"Young Commander" Chu Qingwan looked up at him.

He seemed to hear nothing, his eyes narrowed as he coldly stared at the thin figure below. "I didn't expect that General Shen's daughter would be so lifelike when she sings."

Shen Siyin's eyelashes trembled slightly, no matter what, as long as he said it, she would do it.

That's it... That kind of obedience, that kind of going with the flow, yet it ignited a surge of fury within Xiao Zonghan's heart!

"Here comes the person!"

"Young Marshal."

"Go, fetch me one thousand nails!"

"Yes."

The servant hurried off to carry out his orders. The remaining attendants became even more panicked, but only Chu Qingwan looked at Xiao Zonghan with a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

Soon, a man brought up a large tray. The tray was full of steel ingots. Xiao Zonghan looked at the steel ingots and suddenly let go of Chu Qingwan's arm, reaching out to take the tray...

"Young Marshal!" a voice called out. Xiao Zonghan's gaze turned over, Chu Qingwan's voice carried a hint of inquiry: "You really dislike her"

Xiao Zonghan's eyes narrowed coldly: "Of course."

"What if she died, how would the Young Marshal react" Chu Qingwan almost instinctively asked this question.

Xiao Zonghan's eyes flashed, he glanced at the woman still singing, his voice suddenly turning icy: "If she dies, this general will don red and celebrate with a grand feast!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, his men sprang into action. The clatter of steel against steel echoed throughout the room.

"Shen Siyin, you sang very well today. This thousand taels of silver is a reward from this General!" He finished speaking and turned to leave.

Behind her, Shen Siyin's footsteps were disrupted by the rolling steel bars and she fell heavily to the ground. She didn't even cry out in pain.

She just kept her head bowed, the tears and despair in her eyes no longer able to be concealed.

For a long time.

"Madam, the young marshal has already left," Chu Qingwan's voice came.

Shen Siyin didn't raise her head, she just nodded randomly and then propped herself up to stand. She turned around, supporting herself with the last vestiges of her dignity and walked straight ahead.

But as she had only taken two steps, a voice filled with regret and pity called after her from behind: "Madam."

She paused.

"Good and evil will always be met with consequences. In fact, madam, you don't need to feel sorry for yourself. When you plotted against the young marshal and your own sister in the past, you should have already thought about today's situation."

Whoosh!

A flush of crimson disappeared from Shen Si Yin's face.

She suddenly turned back, "I didn't!" Her eyes were clearly red, but she looked coldly at Chu Qingwan, staring at her, and spoke word by word: "I didn't! I didn't do any of these things!"
