Chapter 1761: Chapter 1761: A Hint of Realness

Madam Su felt a chill shoot up her spine as Lin Caisang’s piercing gaze fixed on her.

She knew that her defeat this time might mean even the Empress herself wouldn’t bother with her any longer, because she was fully aware of all the unforgivable actions Su Wan and his family members had committed in Lotus Commandery over the years.

Including herself, who, relying on her status as an old servant of the palace and inflamed with vanity, thought nothing of the deaths of a few commoners—they were insignificant and unworthy of fear.

In her own hands, she also held the lives of several people.

Not to mention her precious daughter, whose hands were stained with countless blood, so much that she had long lost count.

"I want news of Lin Baizhong, will you talk, or will you not?" Lin Caisang asked faintly.

"Lin Baizhong has long been dead!" Madam Su yelled at her.

How would she know where Lin Baizhong was? It was her daughter who had arranged it all; what did it have to do with her?

Besides, she had always thought Lin Baizhong was already dead all these years, as he refused to comply and was killed by her daughter. What’s more, his body had been discarded, who knows where.

By now, it might have been gnawed to bones by the wild wolves in the mountains, leaving not even the remains.

But she couldn’t possibly say that Lin Baizhong was killed by her daughter; she could only blame it on someone else.

"Back then, Lin Baizhong wanted to escape, and he actually managed to. Later, I heard that he was killed by his enemies from the Man Kingdom. If you want to avenge Lin Baizhong, go to the Man Kingdom and find those who killed him. Don’t come looking for us!"

"Heh heh."

After hearing her words, Lin Caisang couldn’t help but let out a mocking laugh, looking at Madam Su with a provocative gaze.

"Tsk tsk, Madam Su, I do sense a hint of truth in what you say. What should I do?"

"What this Madam says is indeed true!" Madam Su shouted.

Of course, she knew that this woman in front of her would never believe her words.

But what could she do? What else could she do—tell Lin Caisang that her daughter was the murderer?

That was her only daughter, the hope of her life, and everything rested on her. A few days earlier, she had received a message from the palace stating that the Empress wished to select two concubines for the Eldest Prince.

She was still planning whether to have Meihua divorce that worthless man and then send her to the Eldest Prince’s Mansion.

Although it looked improbable now, at the very least, she couldn’t let her daughter come to harm.

"If what you say is true, does that mean your daughter is lying?" Lin Caisang asked with a smile.

"I hate people who lie and deceive me the most. That bitch Su Meihua dares to lie to me, Madam Su, what do you think I should do to punish her? Should I flay her skin or extract her tendons? Which sounds more comfortable? Or perhaps, you’d like to choose a way for your daughter to die?" she said softly.

"Hiss!"

Madam Su sucked in a breath of cold air.

"You... you’re insane! My Meihua hasn’t offended you; what right do you have..."

"It seems, Madam Su, that you still don’t understand your current predicament,"

Lin Caisang interrupted Madam Su, rose from her chair, and slowly walked to the door, looking at Su Meihua who had come to and been forced to kneel ever since.

"The situation now is, if I can’t find my father, your entire Su Family must die. I will not spare a single one of you, and that includes the Zhang Family as well as your sister, Zhang Bai’er, who you sent into the palace and is now by the Empress’s side."
