Chapter 8: A confession: It seemed that Second Eldest Miss was behind this
Servant Gan was extremely frightened by Ye Jiuge, so she did not dare slack and became even harsher towards Zhang Mama.
Zhang Mama’s spiritual channels had already been sealed by Ye Jiuge. Without the protection of her spiritual force, she was no different from a common human. As the lashes hit her skin, she let out blood-curdling screams. After one hundred lashes, her entire body was soaked in blood, and she was left with only a single breath.
“Speak! Who really commanded you to steal my Purple Lightning Wood?” Ye Jiuge looked at the bloody Zhang Mama, expressionless. Her small number of wounds was nothing compared to the suffering that Qing Mama had experienced in the past.
Zhang Mama scowled at Ye Jiuge with bitter resentment. She moved her mouth but could not utter a single word.
Ye Jiuge moved forward unhurriedly and bent down slightly. She pretended to move her ears towards Zhang Mama’s mouth to hear her speak. Afterwards, she said in shock, “What did you say? It was the Second Eldest Miss who asked you to steal the Purple Lightning Wood to gift to the Crown Prince as a token of affection?”
Zhang Mama’s eyes widened. She wanted to defend herself, but she could not speak.
“Since you have acted on someone else’s behalf, I shall spare your life!” Ye Jiuge reacted with a benevolent expression and helped undo the ropes binding Zhang Mama’s body herself.
Shaken with anger, Zhang Mama could not endure it any longer and fainted.
Ye Jiuge asked Servant Gan to send Zhang Mama back to the Madame’s residence, then walked towards the Zhilin Residence, where she lived.
