Chapter 213 Domestic Violence
Master Bai, however, frowned deeply, his expression cold and unmoved by his daughter's tears, and said coldly:
"Why are you out here too? The Bai family's reputation must not be damaged. What kind of behavior is this, mixing with this person? Today I will kill you all on the spot!"
Lady White Snake's eyes were filled with sorrow: "Father! Do you even love me? Why are you making things so difficult for me and my husband?"
To everyone's surprise, Master Bai said, "How could a father not love his child? But would you allow the family's reputation to be damaged?"
Lady White Snake: "I will not allow my family's reputation to be damaged, but will you spare your beloved daughter?"
The wealthy man said, "I can let you go, but can you hang yourself to preserve the family's reputation?"
Lady White Snake: "I can hang myself to protect the family's reputation, but would you be willing to let your daughter die?"
The wealthy man said, “I can’t bear to see my daughter die, but you can hang yourself to preserve the family’s reputation.”
Lady White Snake stammered, "Father!"
The wealthy Bai family may love their daughters, but they would never love a daughter who would damage the family's reputation.
The wealthy man, Master Bai, said coldly, "I should have killed you back then. If it weren't for your mother secretly protecting you, you wouldn't be alive now!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the servants drew their weapons from their waists, assuming a fighting stance, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.
At this critical moment, Zhao Jihua took a deep breath, stepped forward, and shouted, "Wait!"
Her voice was steady and powerful, carrying an undeniable aura.
Then, she slowly took out a token from her bosom, raised it high, and loudly declared her identity: "I am the current Empress Zhao Jihua. There is more to today's events than meets the eye."
Everyone was stunned when they heard her words, and immediately knelt down to pay their respects.
A hint of doubt appeared on Bai Da Yuanwai's face.
How did those two end up with Her Majesty the Queen?
Hidden secrets?
What's the hidden story?
Master Bai vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Jihua recounted the whole story.
After hearing this, the anger on Bai Da Yuanwai's face gradually disappeared, replaced by shock and regret.
He looked at Bai Niangzi with guilt in his eyes and his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word for a moment.
Lady White Snake looked at her father with teary eyes, her gaze filled with both grievance and a hint of expectation.
After a long while, Master Bai's eyes reddened and tears welled up. He quickly walked to Lady Bai, embraced her tightly, and said in a choked voice, "Daughter, I was wrong, I misunderstood you."
Lady White Snake hugged her father tightly, weeping with joy.
"Father, I have never blamed you. You were only thinking of the family's reputation. If anyone is to blame, it is that abbot, that wolfish abbot!"
The father and daughter finally reconciled.
But only they themselves know how much of it is true and how much is false.
……
After resolving this matter, Zhao Jihua and her companions embarked on their journey again. However, before they even left the city, they were bumped into by a heavily wounded woman.
The other person kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." But when she saw that the person was dressed elegantly, hope ignited in her eyes.
"Save me, please, save me!"
Zhao Jihua helped the man up and asked, "What happened? How did you get so badly injured?"
"My name is Xie Nu. Please, save me! I will do everything I can to repay you. My husband wants to kill me!"
!!!
Zhao Jihua and the others were dumbfounded. Why would they want to kill someone in broad daylight?
However, current national laws do not allow husbands to beat their wives.
The group looked closely at the woman and realized that one of her hands was limp and weak, probably broken.
Her body was covered with wounds of varying depths and ages, and she was bleeding profusely. Following the trail of blood, one could see the path she had taken.
Xia Li and the others quickly stopped the bleeding and treated the wounds.
Xia Li was focused on bandaging Xie Nu's wound, her movements gentle yet urgent, her focused expression appearing even more solemn in the dim light.
at this time,
"Don't mind your own business."
A cold voice suddenly rang out, breaking the tense silence.
The man's figure was faintly visible in the shadows, his expression obscured, yet a palpable sense of oppression emanated from him. "I'm taking my wife home."
Upon hearing this, Xie Nu's already pale face instantly lost all color, and she stared wide-eyed in terror, as if she had seen the most terrifying thing in the world.
"No! I don't want to go back with you!"
She screamed hysterically, her voice echoing in the empty space, filled with boundless fear and despair.
"These injuries are all from you! In the two years of our marriage, you've hit me sixteen times, and every single time it was so brutal. I've had enough!"
Her body trembled, and tears streamed down her face—a breakdown after long periods of torment.
Xia Li and Zhao Jihua exchanged a glance, both of their eyes flashing with anger.
"If you want to take her away, you'll have to get past us first!"
Zhao Jihua took a step forward, straightened her spine, and met the man's cold gaze without fear.
The man snorted coldly, a sinister glint in his eyes, and slashed at them with the bloodstained knife in his hand.
"Don't think that just because you outnumber me, I'll be afraid of you."
He pounced on Zhao Jihua like a maddened beast.
Zhao Jihua quickly dodged to the side and then kicked the man in the abdomen.
The two instantly began to wrestle, exchanging blows and kicks, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.
She skillfully avoided the man's attack and struck his vitals from the side.
The man released the knife, clutched his genitals, and screamed.
Zhao Jihua then grabbed the man and, with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw, slammed him heavily to the ground.
The man struggled to get up, but Zhao Jihua held him down firmly.
"Take him to the authorities!"
Zhao Jihua shouted into the air.
Immediately, two bodyguards came out and took the person away.
Zhao Jihua turned around and hurriedly led Xie Nu to a nearby clinic.
Xie Nu lay weakly on the bed, her eyes vacant and lifeless, as if she was still immersed in the fear she had just experienced.
Seeing her like this, Xia Li couldn't bear it and wanted to pat her shoulder comfortingly, but then he discovered that Xie Nu was covered in injuries.
She had no idea where to begin!
She stood aside and said, "Alright, don't worry, we've already sent him to jail. He can't hurt you anymore."
Tao Yao stomped her foot angrily: "This man is too despicable! How could someone torture his wife like this? This kind of person doesn't deserve to live in this world. I want to tear him to pieces!"
Zhao Jihua, on the other hand, remained calm: "Judging from the alternating old and new marks on your body, this shouldn't be the first time you've been beaten, right?"
