Madam Wen’s IQ was still quite high. If she had made such a fuss in front of Wen Dian, at least Wen Dian wouldn’t think that we had reached an agreement.
The mute girl came in with food. She lowered her eyes and didn’t look at me.
I sat in front of the small table and picked up my chopsticks. I said casually, “Madam Wen is quite amazing. Wen Dian actually obeyed her. I really didn’t expect that.”
The Mute Girl slowly knelt in front of me, her eyes brimming with tears.
I put down my chopsticks. Without waiting for her to make a gesture, I said, “Mute girl, I won’t run. Don’t worry. I know that if I leave, I’ll implicate your family.”
The Mute Girl’s tears fell. She respectfully kowtowed to me.
I supported her. “Can you not kowtow and kneel so often? I’ve never seen this before in my entire life.”
The mute girl wiped her tears and stood up by herself.
I smiled. “I promise you. I won’t run. Don’t worry.”
I picked up my chopsticks to eat again. The mute girl pointed at the bowl of tender egg custard.
I smiled and took a sip of the custard. I nodded. “It’s really delicious.”
Only then did the mute girl’s expression relax.
“Mute girl, did Wen Dian lock up your family?”I used my hand to eat a piece of ribs.
The mute girl nodded slightly.
“Why?” I asked curiously.
The Mute Girl was silent for a while before she slowly began to gesture.
We repeated this several times before we finally understood.
It turned out that the mute girl’s parents and older brother were all servants here. Her mother was cooking in the kitchen, her father was raising flowers for the old madam, and her older brother was a hired thug. Previously, her older brother failed to complete his mission and was punished by Wen Dian. Her parents pleaded for her older brother and were also locked up together. The entire family was left with the mute girl who was doing menial work. It just so happened that I arrived, so the mute girl was sent to serve me.
“Where are they locked up?” I asked.
“The dungeon. There are many people there.” The mute girl gestured.
I sighed lightly, put down my chopsticks, and used a warm towel to wipe my hands.
“I’m done eating. Mute girl, don’t worry. Do your job well. I won’t make things difficult for you,” I said softly.
The mute girl lowered her head and gestured. “I’m sorry.”
She was still a person with a conscience. Wen Dian, that bastard, had caught on to my problem.
So, I had to think of a foolproof plan. Although mute girl and I had met by chance and had nothing to do with each other, I didn’t want to owe a few innocent lives when I thought about it in the future.
That bastard Wen Dian must be a ruthless person. This family was probably nothing to him.
I had eaten and slept enough, so I was in good spirits.
I placed my hand on my lower abdomen to feel it. The baby was probably asleep by now. But he had to be safe and sound. This was the most important thing at the moment.
I wasn’t worried about my situation. Wen Dian wouldn’t dare to do anything to me for the sake of the Phoenix blood.
Besides, Jing Tian would definitely find a way to find me. It was likely that the outside world had already turned upside down.
However, I had no idea who Wen Dian was. He must have been an unimportant person in the past. Otherwise, they would have mentioned him. Besides, they were quite familiar based on the content of the video.
As far as my youngest uncle and Jing Tian were concerned, this person was already dead.
Wen Dian was a scheming person. Tong Hui and his son couldn’t compare to him. As such, I was even more curious about his background.
My physical condition did not allow me to use force. Then, I would just wait calmly for the situation to take a turn for the better.
But before that, I couldn’t just sit around, could I? That wasn’t my style. They wanted to take my Phoenix Blood. I had to teach them a lesson, didn’t I?
