Chapter 8: Please, Show Me The Respect I Deserve [II]

Zhao Ling realized that this man would die if he continued knocking his head down like this again. She didn't want Zhao San's life, but just wanted to take the opportunity to establish her prestige in the mansion. She wanted to let the whole mansion know that she was the eldest daughter of the family. She would not be easy to bully.

Seeing that her goal had been achieved today, she stopped the proceedings and said to Zhao Jiang. "Father, seeing that his mouth is quite strict, why not shut him up first and interrogate him another day?"

Zhao Jiang also bothered about seeing the amount of blood. Since Zhao Ling said so, he waved his hand and said, "take him and put him in the wood house. I will deal with him later. Make sure to take care of him."

After Zhao San was dragged away, Zhao Ling said to the people in the yard with different looks. "Everyone has seen it. From now on, I hope everyone will abide by their duties and do things honestly. The power here will not treat you badly. I'm sorry for your past dealings. But if there are tricks that are not honest, the authority will not be merciful to you. Okay, you can all go now."

"Yes, miss." The people responded and dispersed. Since then, they all had a new understanding of this eldest lady.

However, Cui Wei, Zhao Ruo and other aunts had a gloomy expression. Each with their own thoughts. Zhao Mingxuan, who followed to watch the excitement after her school time, looked at Zhao Ling in admiration, thinking, when did her big sister become so powerful.

Zhao San, who was detained in the firewood room, died that night. On the second day, when the guards opened the door to deliver him food, they found him lying on the pyre covered in blood, with a blood-stained daggerfalling beside him.

After hearing the development, Zhao Ling went to see Zhao San's body in person. According to her preliminary examination, the time of death was be around 1 am and 2 am. The fatal injury was a wound about 10 cm in length on the neck, which caused excessive blood loss. The obvious cause of his death.

Looking at the shape of the wound, it matched the dagger, dropped next to the body. Judging from the angle and depth of the wound, she could confirmed that it was a suicide. It appeared that Zhao San cut his own neck with this dagger.

Zhao Ling looked at Zhao San's body and sighed softly. She had no intention of harming others, but just wanted to protect herself in this strange place. Zhao San was not a treacherous person, as she could tell from him saving Lu Zhu that day.

Lu Zhu was stunned by the events of that day, but she was already outside the room after waking up. It must have been Zhao San who rescued her form the fire.

But why did he set fire to the place? Who instructed him, and why did he listen to that person's instructions?

Now that Zhao San was dead, the clue was broken. Looking at Zhao Ruo's performance on that day, it seemed to be related to this matter, but with Zhao Ruo's personality and ability, Zhao Ling doubted it could even be her idea, if it was her in the first place?

Zhao Ling frowned slightly. Mother Ning and Mother Xu could only look on while green bamboo beside her could not help, but feel sick and retch.

This girl saw the bloody corpse for the first time. She didn't dare to enter initially. But after seeing that Zhao Ling was going in, she had mustered the courage to follow up with the faith of protecting the young lady.

Now, seeing Zhao San's eyes wide open and the corpse, she couldn't help but screamed and retched again and again. She looked at Zhao Ling and wondered when the young miss had become so bold.

Zhao Ling glanced at her helplessly, and told the family next to him. "Be well with the body. Inquire about his family for me, and give them a little more compensation."

"Yes, eldest lady," said the servants present. They also felt very surprised that this eldest lady didn't change her facial expressions at the sight of the corpse. Zhao San set fire to the eldest lady's chamber and wanted to harm the eldest lady. Yet, the eldest lady wanted to bury him well, and did not forget to take care of his family.

"She was so magnanimous and kind."

"It was really rare in the world."

As a result, Zhao Ling's prestige in the Zhao Mansion had increased, and people dared not look down upon this eldest lady who hadn't been like that before.

After Mother Ning went back to the monastery, she told Madame Zhao about the situation that day. She also praised Zhao Ling for what she said. The old lady was also very pleased and asked Mother Ning to pay more attention to this girl every day.

Although Cui Wei and Zhao Ruo were itching with anger, they couldn't help the situations.
