She was terrified.
Suppressing her inner rage, Shangguan Furong spoke in as gentle a voice as possible: "Ziqing, please speak up. Did she beat you? You don't have to be scared. Mom is here and I will protect you. Please be honest with me."
"No, I didn't!"
Zhao Ziqing carefully glanced at Lin Fang with utmost fear in her eyes. Eventually, she burst into tears, clinging tightly to Shangguan Furong's neck. "I am scared!"
Ziqing's terrified confession broke Shangguan Furong's heart.
It was her fault.
She was the one who allowed her two children to suffer.
"I want to stay with Mum! I don't want to be with Dad anymore! Aunty Lin Fang is a bad lady! She pinched me and pricked me with this injection! My elder sister is also bad! She snatches my things and calls me a beast!"
As Zhao Ziqing spoke, she loosened her clothes to reveal the bruising on her body and countless needle holes on her arms and back.
The sight was horrifying!
