Abuse
Stanley stepped forward, his aged body trembling, head bowed.
"Zhiyi, this matter... was our fault."
"You know we have no children of our own, so we adopted one. But they captured our son."
"We truly didn't dare say anything..."
Yun Zhiyi naturally understood that there was a reason behind it.
They had come for her and knew some of her habits, so they had sought out the Stanleys.
"It was Ruan Zhou, wasn't it..." Yun Zhiyi asked.
Stanley shook his head. "The people who came weren't him. As for whether he was the one behind it, I don't know."
They truly knew nothing about it. The people who had come were complete strangers.
"That makes sense. Ruan Zhou wouldn't be foolish enough to arrange something like this and show his face himself."
"You can go inside."
Yun Zhiyi said nothing further, only told them to go in.
The couple did not dare disobey and supported each other as they headed inside.
They moved slowly, their faces full of anxiety.
He did not know what Yun Zhiyi would do to them.
But she certainly would not let this slide.
Betrayal was betrayal. What excuse could there be?
Even if they had been forced into it, they should not have done this.
Yun Zhiyi and the others had not asked for food. If they had, something would have been added to it.
At that point, Yun Zhiyi would have killed them without hesitation.
There was still room for leniency now.
Once inside, the couple exchanged a look, their eyes filled with guilt.
Ningxiang Yike had saved their lives and let them live here.
They had lived without cares over food or clothing, with servants attending to every need.
Yet they had done something like this.
Yun Zhiyi was no ordinary woman.
