"Every single thing, every single detail, must be deeply reflected upon, leaving no room for error!"

Jiang Ziling felt mixed emotions, he had never expected that Su Yu's action was to seek justice for him and make up for the injustice of those years.

This little girl has always had a clear distinction between love and hate. Her hatred for the Zhao family is obviously deeply rooted in her heart. How could she easily help?

Zhao's body collapsed due to exhaustion and humiliation, her face pressed against the cold ground. Jiang Xunzhong just watched coldly from the side without offering any help.

Seeing that Zhao was on the verge of collapse, Su Yu slowly brought a bowl of dark medicine and handed it to her lips: "Drink it with absolute remorse. If you let me detect the slightest falsehood, you will bear the consequences yourself..."

In desperation, Zhao, as if grasping the last straw, approached the bowl of medicine regardless of everything and swallowed the bitter liquid in one gulp.

After a short rest on the cold ground, she forced herself to kneel upright again. Although her body was still weak, there seemed to be a difference in her spirit.

Although Zhao felt slightly better after taking the medicine, she realized more clearly that her life and death were completely in the hands of Su Yu.

This young woman had an extremely accurate grasp of human nature, and she knew very well that if she didn't do as Su Yu said, her life would be in danger.

On the scale of life and face, Zhao made her choice.

She began to slap herself in the face, muttering to herself, "For a few pennies, I ignored your pain. My conscience must have been eaten by a dog!"

"Since you were unable to move and could not be of any use to me, I cruelly expelled you. No one can be more cruel than me."

"Day after day, I beat and scolded you, leaving you hungry and only fit to eat leftovers. My sins have accumulated like a mountain!"

"When you were young, I deliberately abandoned you in a crowded market. That was such cruelty that it is beyond the reach of justice!"

"And I, I once pushed your helpless little head into the cold water tank. At that moment, my heart was filled with hatred. I ignored your struggles and wanted to turn all my resentment into a raging river, wanting to drown you mercilessly. But the heavens seemed to be trembling, warning me with thunderous silence that this sinful act was..."

…The voice gradually became lower and lower until it was inaudible. Perhaps at that moment, Zhao also felt an unconscious tremor and regret in her heart. The numerous mistakes she had made were like heavy stones, piling up one by one into a mountain and weighing her down to the point where she could hardly breathe.

Jiang Ziling's tears fell silently like pearls from a broken string, and his body trembled involuntarily due to the uncontrollable grief, as if every tear was an accusation of past sufferings.

His eyes were empty, filled with unspeakable pain and despair.

Su Yu opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Thousands of thoughts were stuck in her chest, making her not know where to start or how to comfort the soul in front of her who had silently endured countless sufferings.

Her heart was filled with shock and pity. It was hard for her to imagine how Jiang Ziling had faced all the despair and suffering alone during those dark days.

At the side, Jiang Xunzhong seemed to be restrained by an invisible spell, his eyes were wide open, filled with shock and disbelief.

It was a belated awakening, as well as anger and self-blame for having turned a blind eye to something for so long. After a while, he finally woke up as if from a dream, and slapped Zhao's already swollen cheek.

"You are such a vicious woman, you treat my innocent son in this way..."

This blow seemed to have drained away all his emotions and anger, causing Zhao to stagger and fall to the ground.

Before she could react, Jiang Xunzhong kicked her again, furious.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong...I won't dare to do it again."

Zhao curled up on the ground, crying and begging for mercy, her voice filled with fear and despair.

Jiang Ziling wiped the tears from his face, suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and watched this family storm with cold eyes. His eyes flashed with indifference and alienation that went beyond his age.

Su Yu felt his emotions and patted his shoulder gently, trying to give him a little warmth and comfort.

"enough!"

Su Yu spoke up to stop Jiang Xunzhong's violent behavior, with an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

She understood that the root of everything was that if she had known this would happen, she would not have done it in the first place. Zhao's recklessness was closely related to Jiang Xunzhong's long-term indulgence.

Then, Su Yu looked at Zhao with sharp eyes: "Zhao, are you truly repentant, or are you just afraid of punishment?"

Zhao hurriedly crawled to Su Yu's feet and grabbed her clothes tightly, her eyes full of fear and pleading: "I really know I was wrong. I am willing to pay any price, just ask you to save me."

Su Yu gently broke free and took a step back, his expression indifferent: "You should be asking Zi Ling for mercy, not me. I will only consider helping you if he is willing to forgive you. If he is not satisfied with your repentance, there is nothing I can do."

Hearing this, Zhao hurriedly turned to look at Jiang Ziling, but was quickly blocked by Su Yu.

"Calm down, talk it over nicely if you have anything to say, don't move or touch anything!"

Su Yu gave a stern warning. She knew very well that Jiang Ziling had an old injury on his leg and any careless touch might aggravate his pain.

"Zi Ling, I was wrong, please forgive me..."

Zhao cried bitterly, but Jiang Ziling just closed his eyes.

For him, just facing this woman was enough to make him feel disgusted and bored.

He turned sideways to Su Yu, his tone was flat and distant: "Ayu, you decide on this matter, I have no objection."

"it is good."

Su Yu responded briefly, with a flash of determination in his eyes. This choice between forgiveness and punishment seemed to have come to an end quietly.

She had already planned in her mind to let Zhao experience the deep pain, so she tightly grasped the sharp tools that had been prepared in advance and stepped out of the threshold with firm steps. Every step seemed to foreshadow the coming reckoning.

"If you don't want to suffer irreversible consequences, go into the house immediately and don't disturb my baby Xier."

Su Yu's voice was cold and resolute, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, revealing an unquestionable power.

When Zhao heard this, a barely perceptible fear flashed across her face, and then she retreated hastily to the back of the room as if she had been pardoned, fearing that any hesitation would bring disaster upon herself.

Jiang Xunzhong stared blankly at Jiang Ziling's resolute back as he left, feeling mixed emotions.

Thousands of words were stuck in his throat, as if bound by invisible shackles. Every time he tried to open his mouth, only silent vibrations were heard.

In the end, only one sentence, so dull that it was almost inaudible, came out from his lips with difficulty: "Zi Ling, you...you have suffered..."

Jiang Ziling didn't look back, and his tone was as indifferent as if he was talking about the weather: "You should go back and rest early."
