When Murong Qiao saw this, he was very distressed and immediately let go of Zi'an. He changed to holding Xia Wan'er up gently.,Eight years as an agent honed a will of steel, gritted teeth, shouldered the shame and pain that wasn't theirs, beat by beat, fresh blood spilling from within. The back was scarred, nearly broken, with every blow.,Lady Linglong and Murong Qiao both did not expect Xia Zian to be so outspoken. Linglong was enraged, her anger burning like a flame. She disregarded her own decorum and rushed down, grabbing Xia Zian's hair at the forehead, forcefully pulling his head up, and snarled: "If you refuse to agree, then you will have brought this upon yourself."。
