Chapter 524: His Objective Was To Get Her
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“She’s awake. Moon is awake.”
Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Zhao were pleasantly surprised to see Moon regain consciousness. They were really worried that the child would never regain consciousness again.
When Moon heard her parents’ voices, the earlier fear swept over her again. She whimpered and began to cry.
“Father, Mother… save me! Save me…”
The husband and wife’s hearts almost broke when they heard the girl crying. They were truly filled with regret and hatred.
The family of three hugged each other and cried bitterly. Their cries were like a heavy hammer that ruthlessly chiseled into Su Ying’s chest.
When Moon had calmed down after a bout of crying, Su Ying finally expressed her desire to have a good chat with Moon.
The couple was very grateful that Su Ying had rushed over late at night for Moon’s sake, so they excused themselves from the tiny room.
Only Su Ying and Moon were left in the room.
“Don’t be afraid. It’ll be fine now.”
The two of them had only met twice, but Moon had an inexplicable trust in Su Ying. “Big Sister… I’m already dirty. I’m dirty. I can’t tarnish Father and Mother’s reputation. I should die, I should die…”
Su Ying stepped forward and gently pulled the girl into her arms. Her hands tightened slightly as she hugged the girl’s trembling body tightly.
“No, you’re not the one who should die! Don’t cry. Tell me exactly what happened. Big Sister will avenge you.”
Moon shook her head desperately, unwilling to recall too much.
“It was the Empress. It was the Empress who did it…” Even now, Moon still could not believe that this was true.
“Teacher Fang was with the Empress. They brought me to a place full of rouge and perfume. They sold… sold me…”
Su Ying slowly closed her two eyes. Every word from Moon was like a dagger ruthlessly slicing into her body. It almost cut through and released the violent genes she had suppressed for a long time.
“Do you still remember where that place is?”
Moon would remember it until death!
Back then, she had noted down the address out of curiosity.
I… I remember. It’s in the third building in the alley of Flower Street. There are many peach blossom trees planted in their courtyard.”
Knowing the address made things easier. Su Ying didn’t want Moon to recall too many details, so she injected her with a tranquilizer drug to let her fall asleep.
Su Ying pushed open the worn-out room door and walked out. She saw that Mrs. Zhao and her husband’s backs were hunched a lot. When they heard the sound, they turned around and looked at Su Ying, their eyes filled with anxiety. “Madam, how’s that child Moon?”
Su Ying comforted them and replied, “She’s already asleep. Her body’s fine I’ll leave some medicine for her. When she wakes up tomorrow, you can feed it to her.”
The husband and wife trusted Su Ying. “Thank you so much, Madam.
Tomorrow… tomorrow we’ll go seek justice for Moon!”
Su Ying and the couple sat down on stools. “You two don’t have to go tomorrow.
I will fight for justice for Moon.”
The couple was very surprised. This was not a small matter. The target was the Empress. Who would be willing to get involved in this kind of mess?
They hadn’t expected Su Ying to go to this extent, and they were truly grateful. “We appreciate Madam’s good intentions. We are already very grateful that Moon has woken up. We cannot let Madam take such a risk for Moon.” “That’s right, Madam. This is really too dangerous. If you get caught or something happens, we won’t feel at ease.”
Su Ying shook her head. “I’ll only say one thing. It’s absolutely not possible that the Empress is responsible for this. If the Empress finds out about this she’ll definitely investigate it thoroughly. Don’t get stirred up by someone with ill intentions and become a weapon in his hand.”
Su Ying’s words surprised the couple. “What do you mean, Madam?”
“Both of you think about it. Who is the Empress? Who can stop her if she wants to get hold of any type of woman? Why did she have to make such a big deal? Wasn’t she worried that the matter would get exposed? How big of an impact would it have on her if the matter was exposed? So why would she do that?
“How can you be sure that Teacher Fang who told you about this did not lie? How can you guarantee that what she said is true? If she really couldn’t stand it and wanted to save Moon, why did she only tell people after something had already happened to her and not help Moon escape before it happened?” Su Ying’s series of questions left the couple at a loss for words. They had also been blinded by anger back then.
“Don’t worry. Give me three days and I’ll definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
“Madam, what do you want to do?”
Su Ying slowly shook her head. “The implications of this matter may be very
Wide, so I can’t tell you in detail. You just have to believe me and not be easily stirred up by others. Believe in the Empress and believe in the Emperor. I will definitely return justice to all of you on this matter.”
Su Ying’s dark, chilly eyes were too intimidating, and the couple didn’t dare to argue back. They were much more willing to believe her words.
“Thank you for going through so much trouble for Moon, Madam. You are our family’s benefactor.”
The corners of Su Ying’s eyes tensed up as she helped the two of them up.
“For the sake of your safety, I will get my people to bring you to a safe place first. Don’t worry. I will definitely not let anyone hurt you.”
Su Ying gestured for them to pack up some things quickly, and she would instruct the secret guards to take them away in a while.
As she walked out of the house, Su Ying and Xiao Jin’s eyes met, and they both
saw the intense killing intent in each other’s eyes.
The night was quiet, and Xiao Jin had sharp ears and eyes. He had heard their conversation in the room just now.
At this moment, his expression was no less unpleasant than Su Ying’s.
The other party wants them to go to the academy tomorrow and kick up a big
fuss.” Su Ying remembered that Zhou Qjng had said that tomorrow was Parents’ Visitation Day. In order to show the importance that the Imperial Court attached to the women’s academy, the Imperial Court would also send officials there tomorrow.
If this matter were to be exposed without Su Ying knowing about it, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to Su Ying’s reputation!
Su Ying had a hunch that the other party didn’t go through so much trouble simply to exchange those innocent women for money. His target was Su Ying herself!
“Send someone to Flower Street to check on that brothel. Then send Moon’s family to a safe place.”
Xiao Jin nodded slightly as he instructed the secret guards behind him.
Mr. Zhao’s family had been incited to make trouble, and the families of the other victims must have been similarly persuaded by someone to do the same If she wanted to keep this matter from being exposed, she had to locate all these families before dawn and stop them from going to the academy.
Su Ying wasn’t worried about her own reputation. What she was concerned about was whether the academy could continue to operate in the future. If this matter was exposed, who would dare to send their daughter here in the future?
Fortunately, her subordinates had already found information about the sick students when they went to investigate in secret. Now, Su Ying only needed to send people to go to all these addresses.
Su Ying gazed at the endless night sky as her eyes turned icy and sinister. “I want to see what on earth he is up to!”
A punishment of thousands of slashes is not too much for this person!”
Xiao Jin returned to the palace just before daybreak so that the other party would not notice anything unusual.
Su Ying was already seated in the horse carriage heading to the academy. She looked through the carriage curtain at the dazzling golden light outside the window and narrowed her eyes suddenly. However, the dangerous aura bursting forth from her eyes could still be seen..
