"Little thing, every time you beg me, you use your charms," Yu Longting bit my lips slightly as a punishment.
"Ow, that hurts! Why would you bite? When have I ever used my charms on you..." I yelped in pain from the sudden bite.
My hand was firmly held by Yu Longting, "Go find Lin Huan now and use your merit of saving the Lin Family's legitimate line as a bargaining chip; once Lin Huan finds out, Lin Xintang is sure to die."
"Mhm, okay, okay, okay... I'll listen to you," I nodded like a pecking chicken. With Yu Longting's backing, I felt confident!
I wrapped my arms around his in good spirits. Yu Longting looked down, his deep ink-like eyes filled with danger.
Only then did I realize that in my excitement I had forgotten myself, and my chest... seemed to have rubbed against his arm.
Scared, I hurriedly let go, "I definitely didn't do it on purpose, I wasn't trying to seduce you, Your Honor!!"
Looking at my sincere and earnest eyes.
"Su Wan!"
The intense heat in Yu Longting's eyes turned into a wild blaze, as fervent as a prairie fire, he warned.
My heart raced, and I obediently replied, "Yes?"
"You tell me, what should be done?" Yu Longting surprisingly left the decision to me.
I could only sharpen the knife for myself, my face almost in tears, "I'll talk to Grandpa about Xintang's matter as soon as possible and then... then go back to the hotel and extinguish... you know..." the fire.
Only then did Yu Longting withdraw his destructive gaze and stuffed his arm back into my embrace.
Me: "..."
This LSP, officials are allowed to start fires, but citizens can't even light a lamp~
From inside the Lin Family's Punishment Hall, the cries of a woman could be heard.
Along with the dull thud of wooden planks hitting a stomach, each sound seemed to pierce into one's bones.
Although I knew the one receiving the abortion punishment inside was the terribly wicked Su Qiang, my little heart still couldn't help but shiver.
Feeling cold all over and my calves cramping, "An... abortion? Is this how...?"
"Look at you shaking as if you have epilepsy. I'll go in and get Lin Huan, or we might as well leave," Yu Longting looked at me fondly, but spoke venomously.
I shook my head vigorously, "No, no, no, no, you can't go. You're also a demon; you can't let Grandpa see you before I speak up for Xintang."
"Then Su Wan, what did you have me come here for?" Yu Longting wore a smile like a tiger, cheerful as the spring breeze, yet his eyes emitted danger.
I chuckled dryly, "To keep me company and give me courage."
Yu Longting: "..."
Peering through the crack in the Punishment Hall's door, I saw Su Qiang tied to a pillar.
Two disciples took turns hitting Su Qiang's protruding belly with wooden planks carved with special demon-subduing talisman characters.
Su Qiang's belly was at least six months along, looking much larger than mine.
Alas, the child was already formed...
I had once tried to miscarry and knew all too well the difficulty of aborting a demon fetus.
The methods of the Lin Family were cruel, but perhaps they were the only way.
I stroked my chin, pondering.
I need to find an opportunity to go in and talk to Grandpa alone.
"Wanwan, instead of sleeping, what are you doing here?" My mom came out of the Punishment Hall and happened to see me.
Her eyes flitted anxiously to my belly, clearly a bit perturbed thinking of the Dumpling inside me after seeing Su Qiang's abortion.
I patted Little Dumpling, who was curiously sensing the outside world, and smiled at my mom, "Don't worry, Grandpa really likes Dumpling. He won't treat me like Su Qiang! I came here because I remembered something important that I haven't yet told Grandpa."
"Whatever it is, you tell me, and I'll pass it on for you. You shouldn't go in there," my mom was still averse to the idea of me witnessing the process of Su Qiang getting her demon fetus aborted.
I didn't want to see it either, but whenever my mom saw Lin Huan, she turned timid. I dare not entrust her with the task of deceiving Lin Huan, "I... would like to tell Grandpa in person. May I?"
