Chapter 943: 439: Fu Lingxi kneels down! Witch Yuanyuan!

"Please spare Duke Suo Lun’s subordinate," Fulingxi once again pleaded with a deep bow.

Every time Suo Lun saw Fulingxi, he wondered if time was flowing backwards.

This woman seemed to be growing younger and younger, not just in appearance, but also in physique.

As women age, their figures inevitably become plump and mature. Yet, Fulingxi’s figure was truly that of a slender and graceful young girl.

Suo Lun said, "Are you referring to Marquis FuE?"

"Yes," Fulingxi replied.

Suo Lun sat down and said, "Ms. Fulingxi, I have a question."

"Please ask," Fulingxi responded.

Suo Lun said, "Previously, due to the issue with my wife Yan Nai’er, our relationship soured, which I can understand. However, following the great defeat of Zhi Li, given your character, you should have immediately tried to mend our relationship to avoid my revenge against the Fu Clan. When Elder Gao asked you to rescue my son, that was the best opportunity to receive my forgiveness. You had already agreed, so why did you go back on your word?"

Fulingxi replied, "It’s because the person was detained by High Priest Naru, and I was powerless to intervene."

Suo Lun said, "No, you are lying. Naru was handling private matters for Zhi Li, and detaining hostages within the Dragon Temple is illegal. Moreover, with Chief Judge Luo Ge supporting you, if you truly wanted to save Zhi Ning and her child, he couldn’t have stopped you, especially since the baby is your own grandchild, making it even more justified. Zhi Ning told me that at one point, you had already carried the baby away, but then someone came and whispered something in your ear, and you changed your mind and gave the baby back to Zhi Ning."

Upon hearing this, Fulingxi’s beautiful eyes trembled slightly.

Suo Lun said, "What exactly did you hear that made you change your mind, daring to put your grandson in mortal danger? And at that time, your expression was even uplifted!"

Suddenly, Fulingxi straightened her delicate body and calmly said, "Suo Lun, my father indeed wronged you, but he is still your grandfather. If you truly killed him, it would greatly damage your reputation."

Suo Lun said, "I don’t care about reputation, but I am truly curious, how could FuE, with his old cunning and gigantic schemes, still go mad with Zhi Li at the last moment? It’s truly incomprehensible. Moreover, you ultimately gave up on saving my son, your grandson. What secret is really behind this?"

Fulingxi’s face became completely expressionless, showing no hint of emotional turmoil.

Suo Lun said, "Tell me the reason, and I will spare FuE’s life and won’t lay a hand on BaiHuo City."

Fulingxi shook her head and said, "I’m sorry, it’s a confidential matter, please forgive my inability to help."

Then, with a sorrowful look in her eyes, Fulingxi said, "But FuE is my father, and I must try to save him. As I cannot disclose the matter you want to know about, there is only one thing I can do."

Then, Fulingxi bent her knees and knelt directly in front of Suo Lun.

There’s a saying that if someone makes their parents kneel before them, they will surely be struck by lightning from the heavens.

If this were ancient China, even if Suo Lun became the emperor, his reputation would immediately crumble after such a kneel from his mother.

But at this moment, Suo Lun just quietly watched Fulingxi, with no spiritual pressure whatsoever.

This woman tried to suppress Suo Lun with ethics and engage in emotional blackmail, she completely misjudged him; he would not care about such things.

Suddenly, Suo Lun smiled and said, "I have to go back and have dinner with my family. If you wish to kneel, then kneel."

Upon hearing this, Fulingxi’s expression changed, and her gaze turned icy as she said, "Suo Lun, are you truly going to completely offend the Dragon Temple?"

Suo Lun squinted his eyes and said, "Offending you means offending the Dragon Temple?"

Then, he left, leaving Fulingxi alone, kneeling in the living room.

A few seconds later, Fulingxi’s expression returned to calm, showing no anger; she stood up, turned around, and left.

...

The night had deepened.

The two little daughters of Fang Qingzhuo were already fast asleep in another room.

Zhi Ning had finally managed to lull the baby to sleep.

"The baby’s sleeping posture is really cute," Fang Qingzhuo said.

The little baby was lying on his side, both tiny hands holding his head, his small body curved like a little shrimp, indeed very adorable.

"Sister-in-law, have you really let go, or are you just forcing a smile?" Zhi Ning asked.

Fang Qingzhuo said, "Are you referring to the matter with Zhi Li, my exposing Zhi Li, leading to his capture by the Dragon Temple, with no way out?"

Zhi Ning instantly regretted it. Seeing her sister-in-law finally at peace, she should be happy, yet why did she bring up this matter.

Fang Qingzhuo said: "I have truly let go, especially during the last moments before the arrest, when Zhi Li’s humanity returned once again, it made me feel even more at peace. Since he lost to Suo Lun and had the devil’s blood planted in him, he completely changed, becoming almost non-human. Being able to return to his human nature, even if just for a moment, was very satisfying for me."

Zhi Ning nodded, saying: "I had let go a long time ago, considering him as if he were already dead. Now, the whole world for me is just the baby, as long as he is healthy and safe, I do not care about anything else."

Fang Qingzhuo said: "Have you not thought of reconciling with Suo Lun?"

Zhi Ning shook her head and said: "It’s impossible now. When he was with me, it was just to use me to save Tian Shui City. That passion, it has burnt out all our karma."

Fang Qingzhuo said: "Yet, the birth of the baby continued the connection between you two, do you plan to remain single for the rest of your life?"
