Chapter 622: I’m Doing This for You
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Su Ying first saw Wang Furong at the Peace-keeping Bureau, she already felt that something was amiss.
Wang Furong looked like an honest person, but Su Ying still remembered Lin Zhuyu’s rejection of her. Lin Zhuyu was good at judging people.
So that night, before entering the Meng family’s house, she climbed over the wall and went to Wang Furong’s room.
If there was something odd about a person, many problems would be discernible in her daily life.
Her room was quite clean and tidy. Most of the things that could be seen inside were Wang Furong and Meng Jiang’s belongings. However, when she walked to the dressing table, she found a jade pendant in a small hidden drawer under the dressing table.
Be it the design or the quality of the jade pendant, it could not be a product of the northern wilderness at all. How did Wang Furong get hold of such an item? Coupled with the suspicious aspects about her, Su Ying was certain that there was something abnormal about her.
After locking her up in the Peace-keeping Bureau, she sent someone disguised as a prisoner to stay in a cell that could monitor her, watching her every move.
However, Su Ying didn’t expect that the person who was involved with her was actually the prince of the Jin State. She had really underestimated Wang Furong.
After learning that Wang Furong wanted to save Xie Rui, Su Ying didn’t immediately intervene. She wanted to know how Wang Furong was going to bring Xie Rui out of the city successfully. To her surprise, Wang Furong really knew of a way.
Wang Furong’s actions also allowed Su Ying to discover the flaws in the city’s security, which she could then get someone to rectify.
Su Ying didn’t have Wang Furong brought back to the Peace-keeping Bureau. Instead, she allowed Meng Zi to deal with her. To the Meng family, this was both a favor to them and a test for them.
When Meng Zi brought Wang Furong back home, Meng Jiang was also released from prison. Tian Niu said this was Su Ying’s instruction.
Meng Jiang looked at Wang Furong being brought into the room. There was still a look of disbelief on his face.
Meng Zi threw her directly into the middle of the hall.
No matter how foolish Wang Furong was, she still realized that she had fallen into Su Ying’s trap. Meng Jiang was now her only hope of survival.
She looked pleadingly at Meng Jiang and grabbed the corner of his robe tightly. “Husband, save me. I was doing this to save you…”
Before Meng Jiang’s eyes, she appeared genuinely affectionate, but in his mind, he could not help but think of the mockery and contempt on her face when she left the prison.
“Why did you leave with them back then? Do you think I’ll still believe you? The deputy manager of the Peace-keeping Bureau told me personally that Long Ba and his men were punished by the City Lord, but even though they were beaten half to death, they insisted that they did not abduct you. Furong, tell me. How do you expect me to believe you?”
When Tian Niu heard the truth, her chest was filled with anger. She wanted to rush forward but was pulled back by Meng Zi.
The husband and wife did not have any deep feelings for Wang Furong. The person who really cared about Wang Furong was Meng Jiang. Only by letting Meng Jiang deal with this matter could he truly wake up.
“I…I was forced to do this, Husband. They forced me. If I didn’t bring him out, he… he said that he would send someone to kill you, Husband…”
Meng Jiang shook his head and shook off Wang Furong’s hand. “Why didn’t you tell Father and the rest? And how did you plan to bring them out? Wang Furong, you have really disappointed me!”
Wang Furong gritted her teeth. She knew now that Meng Jiang would not believe her no matter what she said. Fortunately, she still had a backup plan.
“You guys can’t kill me. I’m pregnant with your Meng family’s offspring!”
A look of astonishment flashed across Meng Jiang’s face. He pushed Wang Furong away angrily. Meng Zi spoke up at this moment. “The City Lord has handed her over to us to deal with. If we soften our hearts because of this, we will only disappoint the City Lord.”
If this was in the past, they would definitely be overjoyed if they found out that Wang Furong was pregnant. However, now, no one in the room could laugh with joy.
“This is the flesh and blood of your Meng family. Other than this child, it’s impossible for you two to have any more grandchildren!”
These words made the expressions of the three people change at once. Tian Niu could not control herself and went forward to grab Wang Furong’s hair and questioned sternly, “What do you mean by that? Do you think that my Jiang’er can’t get a wife other than you?”
Wang Furong looked at her and said with a sinister smirk, “After I got married, you kept staring at my belly. I know that you are mocking me for being a barren woman who can’t give birth. Therefore, in order to get myself pregnant, I gave Meng Jiang a lot of medicine. Now his foundation has been hurt by the medicine. Other than the child in my belly, he can’t have any other children! If I die, your Meng family can just wait to die without descendants!”
“You bitch!”
Slap!
Tian Niu was so furious that she slapped Wang Furong’s face viciously.
She knew that Wang Furong was a scheming person, but she did not expect her to be so vicious.
They only had one son, Meng Jiang. If he really could not have any more children…
Meng Jiang was the one who got the biggest shock. When he first met Wang Furong, he didn’t like her. However, after getting married, he had always fulfilled his responsibility as a husband and slowly developed feelings for her.
He thought that she had only helped Xie Rui because she was temporarily bewitched, but he did not realize that she had already started giving him drugs long ago.
Meng Jiang suddenly grabbed her neck with one hand.
Wang Furong’s two eyes widened in shock. Her body was gradually lifted up from the ground.
“You’re so vicious. How good can your child be? I don’t want this child. And I don’t want you either!” The veins on Meng Jiang’s forehead were bulging up and down, and the force in his hand was getting stronger and stronger.
Wang Furong could feel the air in her chest getting less. She could not believe that in the end, she would actually die in the hands of the person who was the least likely to kill her.
Tian Niu looked at Wang Furong’s belly and closed her eyes with hatred. Notwithstanding the fact that Wang Furong was pregnant with her grandson, Wang Furong would still have to die today even if she was pregnant with the offspring of the Imperial Family!
After an unknown length of time, Wang Furong’s body became completely limp.
Her head drooped down on Meng Jiang’s hand. Meng Jiang came back to his senses and threw her out like tossing away a hot potato.
Wang Furong’s body was thrown out of the door like an old rag.
Meng Zi let out a deep breath and stepped forward to pat Meng Jiang’s shoulder. “At the end of the day, this matter started because of us. We have to give the City Lord an explanation. Tomorrow morning, you will follow me to bring her corpse to the City Lord to apologize.”
Meng Jiang fell to the ground on his butt in a daze and nodded with a blank expression. “It’s all my fault, Father. I shouldn’t have lost control of myself back then…”
“It’s indeed your fault, but it’s also our fault for not seeing people clearly for who they were. Otherwise, other people would not have been able to take advantage of us.”
For the entire night, the Meng family was enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.
The next morning, Su Ying had just woken up when the Black Guardian came to convey a message. He reported that Meng Zi and his family had been kneeling outside the palace before dawn.
Su Ying got up to wash up unhurriedly. She then ate breakfast before heading to the main hall.
“Go. Bring me my punishment whip.”
“Yes, City Lord.”
A moment later, Meng Zi and his family were also led into the main hall.
“Meng Zi hereby greets you, City Lord. I came today to ask for punishment from you. Please punish me, City Lord. The traitor Wang Furong has been executed. Please verify, City Lord.”
Su Ying glanced indifferently at the lifeless Wang Furong.
“In Sky Alpha City, what is most unforgivable is a traitor..”
