Chapter 312 Questioning
Chapter 312 Questioning
General Guan stared at Qiao Jianer intently. The skin on his majestic face twitched violently. His lips trembled several times, but he couldn't utter a word.
He couldn't see any sign of lying in this girl.
How he wished that she was lying and fooling around.
This concerns the well-being of his only daughter and the happiness of his two grandchildren.
Although he couldn't accept Song Yuanyi at first, he felt that there seemed to be a hint of calculation between his eyebrows and eyes. He suspected that he had some purpose in getting close to Guan Yuqin, and the difference in their family backgrounds was too great.
Later, Guan Yuqin became pregnant. The news gradually spread in the army and could no longer be concealed, so he had no choice but to help the two of them get together.
Over the years, Song Laosan has been honest and respectful to him. He knows that Song Laosan is close to Guan Yuqin because of his own selfish motives. Who doesn't love fame and fortune? But as long as he knows the importance of things, treats his daughter well, and teaches and raises the two children with his heart, he has nothing to say.
I never thought it was a deception from the beginning.
General Guan closed his eyes and tried hard to calm the emotions surging in his heart.
Guan Yuqin's hands grasped the door weakly and her body slid down.
Two maids came over immediately and helped her to the inner room to rest.
"If even one word you said is false, this general will not only punish you for your youth, but also severely punish your family, because they failed to discipline you properly."
"If even one of my words is false, may the heavens strike me with lightning and I shall die a miserable death. My whole family shall go to hell."
Qiao Jianer's words were powerful and resounding, and he had no regrets.
General Guan's heart trembled slightly.
The horses reached the gate and re-entered the camp.
Two horses were dragging two people. Their hands were tied and they were staggering and looking disheveled. There were marks of being dragged on their bodies and their clothes were torn. The ropes were tied very tightly. There were traces of blood on their wrists from the struggle and their faces were also injured.
Qiao Jianer turned around and looked at this scene. A rare hint of scarlet appeared in her dark and calm eyes.
Her family was humiliated and trampled upon like this.
Song Laosan, your time of death has come!
Qiao Jianer slowly clasped his fingers towards his palm and clenched his teeth.
This was the first time since she came into this world that she felt this angry.
Song Laosan noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, and subconsciously looked up. He saw a small figure kneeling in front of the main camp. It was not Qiao Jianer.
General Guan's face seemed to be frozen with thousands of years of ice, dark and cold to the point of being terrifying.
Song Laosan's face changed suddenly, and a sense of crisis rushed into his chest.
"Take the man to the camp jail." After giving the order, Song Lao San rode his horse forward.
Two military leaders walked towards him quickly, followed by several elite soldiers.
They held the swords at their waists, looking ready to strike.
"Captain, General Guan has ordered that these two be brought before us."
Song Laosan felt a hand grabbing his heart, tightening more and more, making him extremely uneasy.
He calmed himself down, his expression cold but with a hint of dignity.
"These two are villagers from nearby. They have offended me. I am going to jail them and teach them a lesson. It's just a small matter. There is no need for General Guan to worry about it."
A soldier smiled and said, "Captain, General Guan said that we must take it with us. You should not disobey General Guan's order."
Song Laosan had no choice but to obey. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers escorted Qiao Yunni and Qiao Laosan to the main camp.
He just hoped that the situation would not be what he had guessed, otherwise, he would be doomed.
General Guan looked at Qiao Yunni. Although this woman was a village woman, she was beautiful. Compared to her, his daughter was very ordinary.
But Song Laosan abandoned this woman and approached Guan Yuqin. How much sincerity is there in this?
This woman looked decent, but she was tied up with ropes by Song Lao San and dragged behind the horse without any dignity.
If he treats his first wife like this, how will he treat his daughter when his father-in-law passes away and he takes control of the military? Will he kick her away and try to marry someone else from a richer family?
Thinking of these consequences, General Guan felt a chill that spread from his toes to his head, and his whole body was cold.
As they got closer to the main camp, Song Laosan could see General Guan's creepy expression more and more.
Looking at Qiao Jianer again, she looked at him like a clown, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
The girl's face was so calm, yet there was a sense of madness in it.
It was as if it wanted to tear him apart, tear him apart, chop his bones into pieces, and let him fall into darkness forever.
Song Laosan's mind was shaken and the hand holding the reins trembled.
He dismounted and saluted, "Meetings, father-in-law."
General Guan's gaze fell on his face, like a sharp and cold sword.
"Yuan Yi, do you know this girl?"
Song Laosan pretended to identify it.
"Replying to my father-in-law, I know him. He is from the Qiao family of Datian Village."
"Apart from that, nothing else?" The tone was stern and unyielding.
Song Lao San was unsure whether General Guan knew about the incident, so he just bit the bullet and whispered, "I wonder why my father-in-law is asking this?"
"You just need to answer my questions honestly."
Song Laosan looked struggling.
Telling the truth would be a disaster. If General Guan already knew the truth and he lied, it would also be a disaster.
Looking at Qiao Jianer's expression, she had probably said everything—
But he still held on to a glimmer of hope.
Song Laosan felt as if he was surrounded by stones, squeezing him and making it hard for him to breathe.
"say!"
Seeing his silence, General Guan's face became even darker.
He did not miss the nervousness and panic in Song Laosan's eyes.
"On the day I went to Datian Village to collect taxes, this little girl contradicted me, and her family members were also restless. I was about to punish them, but General Chu stopped me. General Chu also recruited all the men in the Qiao family into the army."
"Could it be that she came this time to ask her father-in-law to seek justice for her?"
Song Laosan looked at Qiao Jianer coldly: "You little girl, you obstructed the collection and incited the villagers. I spared your life at that time, but you are not satisfied and want to appeal. You really hold a grudge."
Song Laosan could only change the subject by bringing up the previous incident, and it seemed that he had already answered the question.
Qiao Jianer said quietly, "It wasn't Captain Song who spared my life. It was General Chu who saved me when your sword was about to cut off my neck."
He even wanted to kill his own daughter. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. General Guan felt that his mind was a little confused.
So, how much affection does Song Yuanyi have for his two grandchildren?
Will there come a day when Guan Song and Guan Xue conflict with his interests and he will kill them without mercy?
Thinking of this, General Guan felt a layer of cold sweat all over his body.
"Yuan Yi, do you remember what you said the day after you went to Datian Village to collect taxes and came back to report to General Chu?"
After Song Laosan said that, he felt something was wrong and was feeling uneasy.
"You said that family was ungrateful and you almost killed them all to make an example of them."
"That means this girl almost died at your hands."
