Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 397 - 348: Aunt Qiu Knew She Had Ulterior Motives: "Tell Me in Detail.
"If I remember correctly, you still have that brother Zhang Xingzhi."
When Zhang Xingzhi was mentioned, Zhang Rong’er quickly shook her head: "What kind of brother is that?! He’s nothing; I’ve long wanted to sever ties with him!"
"Sister Mianmian, I promise you, as long as you spare me, I will certainly follow you in everything, I definitely will..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Ruan Mian turned to leave without a care.
On the way, she asked the villagers nearby to lock them up for now, and wait for General Huo’s return before speaking further.
Before that, she had one more thing to do.
Although the Ye Family indirectly helped her, it was they who colluded with these bandits, causing considerable loss to Jinsha Village.
How could there be such reason to let them take things away for free?
However, shortly after she turned around, Zhang Rong’er suddenly shouted from behind!
"Ruan Mian! Are you truly going to be so ruthless? Aren’t you afraid something might happen to your own sister?" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
"Let me tell you, I’ve already put some special medicine in her pastries; without my antidote, she and her unborn child are headed for a dead end." Upon hearing this, Ruan Mian slowly turned back, meeting Zhang Rong’er’s provocative gaze.
"You never imagined, did you? Ruan Mian, I begged you so much, yet you ignored me, forcing me to resort to this."
"I was merely trying to fight for my survival. Why must you drive me to desperation? Grant me a way to live, and I will quietly give your sister the antidote later; wouldn’t that perfectly resolve everything?"
"But now you insist on treating me like this, pushing things to such an irreparable point, so don’t blame me."
Zhang Rong’er’s expression changed drastically, and she said coldly with a ruthless look.
"If you don’t release me, your sister will definitely not survive..."
Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Mian suddenly burst into laughter.
She slightly curled her lips, walking step by step towards Zhang Rong’er, the strong sense of oppression she carried made Zhang Rong’er frown involuntarily.
"You... why are you laughing!? Your sister is at death’s door, could it be that you..."
"Poisoned? Tell me, in which of her pastries did you put the poison?"
Ruan Mian found it laughable; with the recent flood disaster, everyone was cutting down on clothes and food, not eating as well as before.
Let alone pastries, even everyday meat dishes were strictly controlled.
However, considering her sister was pregnant and fearing infection from the epidemic, Ruan Mian specifically instructed Nanny Qin to personally take charge of the meals for her, Rui, and Jing.
Pastries would be time-consuming and labor-intensive; Nanny Qin wouldn’t make them.
She would only prepare three meals a day, not to mention, how could she have such foresight?
Sure enough, with just a small question, the truth was revealed.
Zhang Rong’er was stunned for a moment before angrily shouting.
"What pastries? Don’t you believe me? Fine, don’t believe me, then arrest me and see if your sister is still alive at that time!"
"But don’t say I didn’t warn you; by the time you regret it, it’ll be too late."
Ruan Mian saw that she was still being stubborn, just wanting to gamble, betting that Ruan Mian would be afraid and worried about her sister, thus believing her lies.
But her flickering eyes had long betrayed her inner thoughts.
Right then, a horse suddenly stopped abruptly in front of Zhang Rong’er.
Frightening her into falling to the ground, her face turning deathly pale.
The next moment, Huo Zong pointed a gun down, the sharp blade directly targeting her throat: "Dare to harm my beloved wife? I see you have a death wish!"
With that, he raised his hand, and Zhang Rong’er cried out in terror.
"No, no such thing! I was just joking; I didn’t poison her! General!"
Huo Zong snorted coldly, turning to order her confinement: "Once we capture those bandits, send them to the military camp as slaves!"
Upon hearing about being sent to the military camp, Zhang Rong’er immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, bearing no trace of her earlier arrogance.
As a woman, being sent to the military camp as a slave meant certain death for her.
But no matter how she cried out, she was taken away.
Even Zhang Hexsong, who had passed out, was imprisoned.
Huo Zong anxiously walked over to Ruan Mian: "Miss Ruan, are you alright? What about Ayao’s matter..."
"My sister is fine; Zhang Rong’er was merely bluffing, she couldn’t have poisoned her."
"Moreover, I’ve already had my aunt take the family to escape towards the garrison, so there’ll be no problem. As for those bandits, they left after looting us thoroughly."
Huo Zong’s face changed dramatically, roaring in fury.
"They dared to commit such despicable acts while we weren’t around!! I will certainly find them and make them pay dearly!!"
