"You won't speak? Hmph, if you don't speak, I'll beat you until you do!" The Xia family head swung the long whip in his hand, with a 'snap' it landed on her body, instantly leaving her with skin lacerated and flesh exposed.
The day they rushed back to the mansion and couldn't find the little girl anywhere, they discovered Qiao Zixian sneaking out from that small courtyard, so the Xia family head assumed Qiao Zixian had hidden Nalan Xueling.
"Qiao Zixian, you'd better confess, save yourself from this torture! That day, you sneaked into that small courtyard, didn't you hide the little girl before us?" Elder Xia demanded aggressively from the side.
"So what if I hid her? I never expected the dignified Xia family to be so despicable, forcing Xuan'er to die for the Demon Spirit Grass, and now wanting to threaten Xuan'er by catching her daughter! I was blind to have entered the Xia family!" Qiao Zixian cursed angrily, with not a hint of fear in her eyes.
