Chapter 1287: A Life for a Life
"What?"
Situtu Qinger was extremely shocked; today His Excellency the Minister brought his young daughter to the General’s Mansion to discuss business with her father, she knew about that. However, the Minister’s daughter had always been with His Excellency the Minister, so how could she have been killed by Zhizhi? Situtu Qinger was utterly baffled.
"What’s going on? Speak and let me hear it."
The maid recounted the events to Situtu Qinger.
It turned out that at noon time, Situ Zhi had just come out from the Old Madam’s place and was passing by Situ Yongjie’s courtyard when he encountered the Minister’s daughter playing at the entrance.
An eight or nine-year-old little girl, dressed very prettily, surrounded by more than ten servants. She was holding a small embroidered ball, laughing and playing all by herself.
This scene deeply attracted Situ Zhi, possibly because they were of the same age. Situ Zhi stopped and walked over.
After a chat, he brought the little girl back to his own courtyard.
Originally, there were more than ten servants by her side, enough to protect her. But after returning to the courtyard, Situ Zhi found an excuse to block the ten-plus servants outside, bringing only the little girl inside.
Not even two hours had passed when suddenly, they heard loud noises and chaos inside.
The more than ten servants guarding the door sensed something was wrong and hurriedly crashed the door and rushed inside...
The main hall was in a complete mess; Situ Zhi seemed insane, holding a knife and fiercely chopping at the little girl lying motionless on the ground, blood splattered all over his face and clothes.
