Chapter 601: Chapter 605: Let the Snake Bite Xiao Biyu_1
"You’re talking nonsense. Where did Little Wang Clan lose her life? You’re all living well, it’s only my sister who was thrown into the jail!"
Xiao Lingchuan kept talking to himself, fixated on that absurd idea!
He had been to the jail and seen how dirty and smelly it was, with rats and ants everywhere. The prisoners had nothing to eat, no warm clothes, and people whipped them every day to make them work. It was no life for a human!
His sister had been pampered since childhood. When had she ever suffered like this?
Qiao Duo’er laughed out of exasperation, "So if I get a venomous snake to bite you, and then save your life, does that mean I’ve committed no crime?"
"Wife, better let it bite Xiao Biyu."
Tan Zhenghong timely reminded her, for what effect would it have to bite Xiao Lingchuan?
If getting bitten by a snake could save Xiao Biyu, perhaps Xiao Lingchuan would be willing.
For Xiao Biyu, he divorced his wife and abandoned his child. What wouldn’t he do?
But letting the snake bite Xiao Biyu was another story.
Xiao Biyu was the apple of the Xiao Family’s eye. If she got bitten, wouldn’t their whole family be heartbroken?
Qiao Duo’er nodded, "Then I’ll talk to Lord Qin tomorrow. If you’re willing to let Xiao Biyu be bitten, I’ll agree to her release without charges but remember, the venom of the Silver Ring Snake is extremely potent, so you better prepare a doctor in advance."
Last time, Little Wang Clan was lucky to have made it home just after being bitten, and with her set of acupuncture techniques, her life was spared.
If she had arrived home later or moved slower, when the venom spread throughout, not even a deity could have saved her.
"It would have been better had the snake killed her. It’s all because you meddled," mumbled a member of the Wang Clan. Why didn’t they just let her die back then?
Had Little Wang Clan treated her the way she did today, she wouldn’t have bothered to spend silver to get her medicine then!
Tan Zhengyuan agreed, "That vile woman deserves to be bitten to death by a snake."
Xiao Lingchuan suddenly snorted coldly, "You never cared about the Tan Family. When that snake bit the second brother’s wife, you must have been secretly pleased."
So Qiao Duo should be grateful to Xiao Biyu!
"That’s why I’ve always regretted it. If that snake had been deadly from the start, Xiao Biyu definitely wouldn’t be alive now," Qiao Duo regretfully said. Wouldn’t that have been killing two birds with one stone?
And besides, it’s only natural for a murderer to pay with their life, and the Xiao family would surely have felt justified.
However, she knew that if given another chance, she would still save Xiao Biyu, perhaps as a way to accumulate blessings for herself and Tan Zhenghong.
After all, what Little Wang Clan did—breaking into a home—was a crime, but not deserving of death.
Xiao Lingchuan clenched his teeth—clearly, it was Qiao Duo who had ruined Xiao Biyu’s life!
How could it be that when Qiao Duo spoke, she turned into Xiao Biyu’s benefactor?
Before he could figure it out, his body tensed up once again.
The sensation of something about to burst forth was driving him mad. How could he focus on anything else?
"I’ve told you everything I know. Let me go!"
Tan Zhenghong kindly untied the well rope, but there was another tie not made by him, and he couldn’t just untie it willy-nilly, in case Xiao Lingchuan tried to escape.
But it wasn’t tied very tightly. With some thought, Xiao Lingchuan could still deal with his urgent needs.
Xiao Lingchuan hurried to the corner, twisting his body like a pretzel, hoping to pull his trousers down a bit.
Yet despite his efforts, he always fell just short of getting his trousers undone!
If he had known this day would come, he would definitely have worked on his flexibility.
He suddenly realized how important freedom was, perhaps even more than life itself, at least so he didn’t have to struggle so much just to pee.
Meanwhile, Tan Zhenghong pulled his own wife out through the window, then firmly shut the window behind them.
