"Please, I'm begging you..." Mrs. Wang pleaded, as if she had fixated on her.
"I told you, begging me is useless."
"Pangtuan... we were wrong. Go plead with the General. He dotes on you the most. If you ask the General, he'll definitely agree. Pangtuan... please, I beg you..."
Ye Qianning had to admire Mrs. Wang's wild imagination. "The second branch wanted to kill me, yet you want me to plead your case? Do you take me for a fool?"
She was no do-gooder, nor was she a saint.
"I know it's all our fault, but Si Yan and Zhenzhu are still young. They are... they are..." Mrs. Wang started to say something, but the words caught in her throat.
"If they were children of the Xiang family, I could plead for them. But they don't have Xiang family blood. How am I supposed to plead for them?"
"I... I..."
"To be honest, I never intended to do anything to the children. As long as you behave, I can give the three of you enough money to leave the Capital City and live your lives in peace."
