Chapter 1241 - Chapter 1241 Chapter 1240 Call Me Grandma_1
Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: Call Me Grandma_1 Chapter 1241: Chapter 1240: Call Me Grandma_1 Qiao Xiaomai watched the scene expressionlessly, then turned to the jailer and asked, “Where is Sun Junyan?”
“He has learned how to lay bricks and is doing that at the back,” the jailer replied.
Compared to being an animal pulling carts, laying bricks was much easier.
Qiao Xiaomai curled her lips and said, “Go call Sun Junyan over here. A grown man like him is actually letting his own mother do such heavy work. Heartless and merciless.”
“And Cen Hong, where is Cen Hong?” Tong Sanlang quickly asked upon hearing this.
“He’s also laying bricks.”
Cen Hong had been stripped of his martial arts, weakened, unable to handle heavy labor.
“Call him over as well,” Tong Sanlang ordered.
So the jailer went to call for Sun Junyan and Cen Hong.
After waiting for a while, the jailer led the two men over.
Both were dressed in tattered clothes, their hands, feet, and faces filthy, their figures emaciated, evidently having suffered a great deal.
The faces and eyes of the two men lacked any spirit, and even upon seeing Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, their expressions did not change.
One could tell they were broken by torture, their hearts deadened, unresponsive to anything.
“Tsk, General Cen, long time no see. Are you doing well?” Qiao Xiaomai greeted him with a sly smile.
Cen Hong stared at his toes, as if he didn’t hear the taunt, motionless.
Without a reaction, there was no fun in it.
She had come today to mock them, wanting to see Cen Hong kneel and beg for mercy, sobbing. If he was going to stand silent and unmoving like a log, where was the pleasure in taunting him?
“Where is the pride of a great general? Where is the stubbornness that wouldn’t let me cut ties with the Sun Family? Back then, you wouldn’t even give face to Prince Wei, Your Highness!” Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but remind him of his glorious past.
Cen Hong remained silent, like a mute, giving no response whatsoever.
Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but look at the jailer and asked, “Has he become mute or amnesic?”
“Neither,” the jailer replied with a fawning smile toward Qiao Xiaomai. Then his whip lashed out at Cen Hong, ordering, “Miss Qiao is talking to you! Speak up or you’ll get no food all day!”
The whip fell upon him, and Cen Hong’s body twitched. Finally, there was a response as he lifted his head to look at Qiao Xiaomai, “To kill or to flay, as you please.”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I am a good citizen, what’s this about killing?” Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes widened in surprise. “I never would’ve thought that General Cen would submit for a few cornbreads. If word of this got out, it would be laughable to death.”
“It’s been a long time since you’ve tasted wheat flour, hasn’t it? If you kneel and call me ‘Granny’, I’ll give you wheat flour to eat.”
She still seethed with anger whenever she recalled Cen Hong setting his dogs on her.
And those dogs were infected with the rabies virus.
How malicious must one be to come up with such a scheme?
Cen Hong deserved this fate.
What goes around comes around, he had it coming!
So now she wanted to humiliate him, to trample his dignity into the ground with all her might.
Back then, she was bitten by dogs; now she was merciful for not bringing a dog to bite him!
Cen Hong heard the words but seemed unaffected by the humiliation, and suddenly knelt, “Granny, Granny, Granny, Granny, Granny…”
He repeated the word ‘Granny’ like a parrot.
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
The mockery on her face instantly froze.
Was this Cen Hong for real, giving up his dignity just like that?!
Sun Junyan, who stood beside Cen Hong with no previous reaction, now knelt down as well, following suit, “Granny, Granny, Granny…”
Qiao Xiaomai “…”
[Good night]
