He vividly reenacted the entire sequence of events.
Lord Qin gritted his teeth, wishing he could step forward and tear this beast apart!
The talisman's spiritual power slowly wore off. Tian Peng came to his senses and stared blankly at everything before him, including his parents' despairing expressions.
"What happened?"
He turned to ask Tian, who was crying her heart out. At this, she cried even harder.
Her tears had run dry, and her cracked lips opened and closed as she begged Lord Qin to spare Tian Peng's life.
Lord Qin's lips curled into a cold sneer. "Heh, I have no idea what you're saying. Clerk, have Tian Peng put his fingerprint on the confession!"
Tian Peng looked utterly bewildered. "What confession? My lord, this lowly maid came to the Tian Family to seduce me, then cruelly robbed me of any chance of having descendants. Are you just going to let that go?"
He was the victim here!
Yuanbao looked at Ning'er.
Ning'er sneered. "What did I do wrong? I was merely running an errand for my young lady. You saw me passing your house and dragged me inside for tea. Who could have imagined your whole family had drugged the tea? I came to my senses partway through and grabbed something to fight back, that's all..."
Xia Wanwan patted the armrest of her chair and declared in her babyish voice, "That's called self-defense!"
Hearing this, Tian sobbed through her tears, trying to accuse Li Qian.
Li Qian had admitted to her face that she was the one who had ordered Ning'er to harm Tian Peng.
But before Tian could get the words out, a soldier stuffed a rag into her mouth and slapped her on the head.
"Cry, cry, cry! That's all you do! You're making an unbearable racket!"
