Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: The Zhang Family Kneels Down_1 Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: The Zhang Family Kneels Down_1 “You beast, plotting against your own son, you might as well be dead!” Tong Tiehu lashed out violently one last time, panting heavily as he turned to Tong Sanlang, “Sanlang, tie him up and throw him onto the carriage.”
Tong Sanlang did not say a word, instead turning his head to look outside the house.
The door of the house faced the gate of the courtyard, and there appeared the figure of Bai Zhi. Just now, when he struck the Wang Residence’s guard, these guards had taken advantage of Tong Tiehu disciplining Tong Xingda to go and summon Bai Zhi.
As Bai Zhi entered, she caught Tong Tiehu’s words and her pretty face darkened, her voice cold, “With me here, who dares to bind him?!”
Tong Sanlang stared at her expressionlessly, his tone indifferent as he spoke, “The Supreme Emperor has issued an imperial edict, and my grandfather was also summoned by the decree of the Supreme Emperor. Although you are a princess, can you really go against His Majesty the Supreme Emperor?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi snorted coldly, “Tong Xingda is my business partner, and I have the right to protect his personal safety.”
“Why bother,” Tong Sanlang replied, aware of what she was thinking and feeling somewhat of a headache, “You are a princess, and your outlook should be higher.”
This was a trouble caused by Yang Ye, yet now it was he and Qiao Xiaomai who had to pay the price.
This Bai Zhi should take her grievances to Yang Ye instead of troubling him and Qiao Xiaomai–what kind of skill was that!
After hearing his words, Bai Zhi’s already gloomy face grew even darker, “Offend me and expect to get off scot-free? There’s no such good deal in this world.”
Saying so, she pulled out the whip from her waist and lashed fiercely at Tong Sanlang.
She was emboldened by her belief that Tong Sanlang would not dare to truly handle her, which made her unrestrained in her attack.
However, Tong Sanlang’s martial arts skills were far superior to hers. He remained unmoving, deftly capturing the whip with his hand, and with a slight exertion of strength, he snatched the whip away, “Princess, I am carrying out an imperial edict from the Supreme Emperor. If you continue to make a scene, then do not blame me for being discourteous.”
“Moreover, this is a Tong Family affair. Princess, as an unmarried lady, involving yourself in other people’s family matters–this could damage your reputation if it were to spread.”
At this point, Bai Zhi’s pretty face had turned ashen. Tong Sanlang had effortlessly taken her whip and even mocked her reputation?
She took a deep breath and curled the corners of her mouth into a mocking smile, “Teach me a lesson? Who do you think you are? Zhang Family!”
Zhang had been cowering in a corner of the courtyard all this while. Seeing Tong Tiehu had wilted Tong Xingda’s spirits, much less hers.
She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, to minimize her presence.
However, at Bai Zhi’s call, she turned her eyes, then stood up from the corner.
Approaching the house in a few steps, she knelt down before Tong Sanlang with a thud, “Sanlang! Please, spare your father and me, I beg you,” she implored as she kowtowed to him.
As she spoke, she indeed began to knock her head on the ground for him.
Her wounds from hitting the wall last time had not yet healed, and now she was performing passionately for the sake of silver, heedless of the pain. After several thuds, the blood on the bandage on her forehead started to show through.
The pain brought tears to her eyes, and she cried as she pleaded, “Sanlang, please, give your father and me a way out. We don’t want to go back to the village and be locked up again. Your father and I are still young; we can’t be locked in a house for the rest of our lives… ”
“Please, I beg you to give your father and me a way to live. I’ve raised you all these years, I beg you…”
Tong Sanlang “…”
His dark eyes suddenly widened, his whole body stiffened, his mind a complete blank.
His own mother was kneeling to him?
His own mother was crying and kowtowing to him?
