Chapter 140: Desperate Attempt to Save Her Family
"I’m in here and I don’t have much good impression about your family. How could I be of help?", Xing asked dryly . She cannot give any promises to her. She do want to end the Ran family. If Weici asks for her freedom, she could give her that. Other than that, if she pleads for her family she had no intention of helping her.
" My father along with that snake is planning to burn the city tomorrow night. We’ll be leaving the city before evening and will return on new year for the formation of a new reign", Weici said plainly with no emotion.
Xing felt a chill pass through her entire body. What the....
" A new reign? With whom as the Emperor?", she asked and Weici shook her head meaning that she didn’t know.
Are they going to make Shihong the Emperor? Or a new dynasty with the Ran family as the Imperial family?
"Why are you telling me this?", Xing asked. She believed her as she already knew that Ran family is leaving. But burning the entire city? How will they do it in this winter?
"My second sister...", Weici’s throat closed as tears dropped from her eyes, "She... She was... My fourth brother witnessed her being.... Because some plan failed.... That snake... It was supposed to be me", she wept and Xing sat beside her and patted her back. So it was as she had suspected.
"After she was returned... She was battered and was barely alive... , she was scratching herself saying she’s dirty... We could not help her... ’Fire cleanses’ she said and set herself on fire... I witnessed everything...",she was sobbing and Xing’s eyes clouded. No woman should suffer through this!
" Why is your father helping him still? ", Xing asked.
Weici smiled wryly, " Women aren’t worth that much. My father, he’d send me to him if that snake wishes for it! Apparently he is promised a high position in the new court... Not everyone’s lucky as you, Consort Huang ", she chuckled and tears were dropping from her eyes.
