Fang Rao took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
"So, you also don't care about the lives of the Huo family?"
Hearing this, Old Master Fang was shocked.
However, he quickly regained his composure and clutched his chest, pretending to be angry at her.
"It's been so many years, why can't you forget that kid from the Huo family? Fang Rao, you have to recognize your own status. You're not the person you used to be. If you continue to be so willful, there will be no place for you in the Zhao family! "
However, Fang Rao stared straight at her father.
"I just want to ask you one thing. Where is my son now?"
Old Master Fang had already looked away guiltily.
"Your son is the young master of the Zhao family you locked up. Fang Rao, don't disappoint me."
"Disappoint? Heh. "
She looked at her father with eyes full of hatred.
"You were the one who used the future of the Fang family and the lives of the Huo family to threaten me to leave my son. Now, I don't even know if my son is alive or dead. The Fang family has prospered for so many years because of me. I've already done all I can for the Fang family. "
This was what Old Master Fang was most afraid of.
As Fang Rao's father, he knew better than anyone that his daughter was never a weak person who could be bullied by others.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to that bastard for the Huo family despite his strong opposition. She even injured her body and made her infertile.
In the fifth year after she got married, her first wife also died of illness.
There was no room for buffer between him and his daughter.
Because of this, the conflict between father and daughter became more and more intense.
The thought of losing control of his daughter made Old Master Fang's head hurt. He couldn't help but feel afraid.
But he still forced himself to put on a sincere expression and said, "Ah Rao, you know what kind of situation the Fang family was in back then. At that time, I had no choice but to do this. If I didn't force you to marry into the Zhao family, the hundreds of people in the Fang family would have died. I know it's been hard on you all these years. How about this, as long as you do one more thing for me, I won't force you anymore. What do you say? "
Fang Rao took a deep breath.
"Say it."
Old Master Fang lowered his voice, his tone filled with urgency.
"You also know that the current situation of the Zhao Family is not clear. In the future, the position of the Zhao Family Patriarch and my son-in-law's position as an elder will have to be inherited by someone. How about this, you make the decision to let Ziyan marry your second brother's daughter. In the future, you won't have to worry about the Fang family's matters anymore. What do you think? "
It was obvious that he wanted to continue using his daughter to bind the Zhao family!
For a moment, Fang Rao didn't know what words to use to describe her father's shamelessness.
"Father, are you crazy?"
Fang Rao simply couldn't understand.
"Could it be that you didn't see exactly how deranged Zhao Ziyan is? How could I push Second Brother's daughter into the fire pit with such a person? Don't tell me that you also want your granddaughter to become a ghost in his hands? "
"You can't say that."
However, Old Master Fang had his own 'reasons'.
"I can tell that Zi Yan respects you as a mother. As long as you say the word, he will definitely treat Qiao 'er well. Besides, you and your niece will be taken care of in the Zhao Family, won't they? "
"I won't agree to it!" Fang Rao rejected him stiffly.
Old Master Fang's face immediately darkened.
He was about to lose his patience with this daughter of his.
"Fang Rao, now is not the time for you to be willful! I've already asked Qiao 'er to take care of Zi Yan.
If a woman is alone, Qiao 'er's reputation will be tarnished. As his aunt, you must give your second brother an explanation. "
"You're crazy!"
Fang Rao couldn't help but be shocked.
She knew better than anyone else what Zhao Ziyan's current situation was.
She pushed away her cold-blooded father, who only cared about the Fang family's interests, and hurriedly led her men to the courtyard where Zhao Ziyan was being held.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard a mournful wail.
Old Master Fang's men wanted to stop her, but she gave them two tight slaps and they didn't dare to stop her anymore.
"Qiao 'er! Qiao 'er! "
She forcefully kicked open the door and saw that the room was already covered in blood.
Fang Qiao, who had just been fed, had her trachea bitten open, and half of her tongue was still in Zhao Ziyan's hand.
"Hahaha, without a tongue, let's see how you can say bad things about me!"
Zhao Ziyan had obviously been provoked too much and had gone mad.
Fang Rao was exasperated.
"Tie the young master up. No one is allowed to let him go without my order!"
Then, she ignored the screaming Zhao Ziyan and hugged Fang Qiao's increasingly cold and stiff body.
"Qiao 'er, I'm sorry, Qiao' er …"
Fang Rao felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife when she saw the fear and despair in the young girl's eyes.
Perhaps everything, from the moment she gave in and agreed to marry into the Zhao family, was wrong.
It was her repeated tolerance that fed her father's appetite.
It caused him to sink deeper and deeper, to the point that he could even use his own granddaughter without mercy.
"Qiao 'er! Qiao 'er! My daughter! "
Suddenly, a woman's desperate cry could be heard from outside the door.
A woman stumbled in and almost fainted when she saw Fang Qiao's dead body.
"Qiao 'er!"
The woman felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
Her body went limp and she crawled to her own body bit by bit, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm useless. I shouldn't have allowed them to take you away! Qiao 'er, my daughter! "
Fang Rao recognized her.
She was her second sister-in-law, a weak woman who had no sense of existence.
"Second sister-in-law …"
Slap!
Fang Rao received a heavy slap on her face.
The woman who never dared to look her in the eye and always followed her husband submissively, at this moment, looked as if she could skin her alive.
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't brought this animal back, my daughter wouldn't have died! You're a jinx. You've caused the death of your husband and child, and now you've harmed my daughter. You'll pay for my daughter's death! "
Then, she pounced on Fang Rao and grabbed her by the neck.
Fang Rao did not resist.
She closed her eyes, her face full of despair.
Second sister-in-law was right. Everything had happened because of her.
She had caused Huo Lang's death, and she had let down her son.
How could she, who was covered in sin, have any reason to live?
"Second Young Madam, let go!"
In the end, it was Aunt Lan who rushed over to save her.
"Miss, how could you be so stupid? If you died, what would happen to the young master? "
Fang Rao trembled.
She understood that Aunt Lan was not talking about Zhao Ziyan, but Huo Xiao.
She had just reconciled with Xiao 'er. How could she be so cruel as to abandon her child again?
Fang Rao finally had the will to live at this thought.
She covered her neck and coughed a few times before she could speak, "Second sister-in-law, listen to me. I will definitely give you an explanation. Do you want Qiao 'er to die in vain? "
Second Young Madam Fang's body went limp when she heard this.
She was a weak person. She had only been provoked by her daughter's death, and that was why she had the courage to kill.
"But I- But what could I have done?"
She cried, "I'm just a useless wretch. They wanted to use Qiao 'er to curry favor with the Zhao family, and I didn't dare to disagree. Eldest Miss, even you couldn't resist back then. What could I have done? "
Her words were filled with the helplessness and bitterness of her life.
As a wife, she couldn't control her husband. As a mother, she couldn't save her daughter's life.
She was like a puppet. Every day, she could only live numbly, all for the sake of her daughter's safety.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as she wished.
Fang Rao understood her pain. She squatted down to look her in the eye.
"You and I are the same. We are both mothers who have lost our children. Second sister-in-law, we can't go on like this. "
Fang Rao had never hated the existence of the Fang family so much.
It was true that this family had raised her, but at the same time, it was also the family that had shackled them and caused them pain.
The only way to get rid of it was to destroy it completely.
This was the only way to prevent these tragedies from repeating themselves generation after generation.
Second Young Madam Fang looked at her in confusion.
Fang Rao knew that she still didn't understand what she meant.
"Second sister-in-law, when Second Brother and Father arrive, remember not to say anything. Just hold Qiao 'er's body and beg Second Brother to bury her."
Second Young Madam Fang nodded stiffly.
Her mind was in a mess. She subconsciously obeyed her sister-in-law's words.
Fang Rao stood up. Her heart ached as she looked at Qiao 'er's body and the suddenly quiet Zhao Ziyan.
She shut her eyes tightly. When she opened them again, they were filled with determination.
Now, she finally understood her mission.
These children were innocent lives. It was the Fang family, the Zhao family, the aboriginals, and the filthiest desires of those people who had defiled them and made them sacrifices.
What she wanted to do was to become a torch.
She wanted to ignite this tree that was already rotten from the roots. She wanted to burn everything that was old and rotten to the ground.
Soon, Old Master Fang rushed over unhurriedly.
When Second Young Master Fang learned that his wife had escaped the old maid's watch, he was afraid that she would cause trouble. He followed closely behind.
"Fang Rao, you …"
Old Master Fang wanted to show off as soon as he entered.
But when he saw the bloody scene in the room, he felt as if someone was strangling him. His mouth gaped open, but he couldn't make a sound.
Second Young Master Fang Gui also entered with a frown. The next moment, his face was filled with shock.
"What … What is going on? Father, didn't you say that Qiao 'er was only here to take care of Zhao Ziyan? Why did she die?! "
Although Fang Gui didn't only have one daughter, Fang Qiao was pretty and gentle. He had been very proud of her for the past fifteen years.
But he didn't expect that she would die before the matter was accomplished.
Fang Gui felt his vision go black. He lost his composure and shouted at his father.
