King Zhao left the city, where a hundred of his men were stationed.

This time, I only brought one hundred people with me.

Since these people were not registered and therefore could not enter the capital, King Zhao ordered them to wait outside the city.

Now, leading his men, he headed directly towards Wanmu County.

He was going to pass through Wanmu County on his way here, so he already had the necessary travel documents.

It was in accordance with etiquette for a prince to travel with a hundred people.

I never expected that my daughter would be in the place I had passed by before.

Wanmu County is very small, and the large group of people quickly arrived at the east side of the city.

Qiaoguo was in her room, lying on her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling beam.

I don't know how much longer I have to endure these dark and hopeless days.

She was six years old when she was abducted, and she has some childhood memories.

She knew perfectly well that she had been abducted.

She also knew that before she was abducted, she lived in a wealthy family, enjoying a life of luxury with servants and maids serving her.

As for what kind of wealthy family they were, she couldn't remember.

Later, one day when she was out in the street, she was being mischievous and secretly sneaked off to see the lanterns. She was then kidnapped.

The kidnapper was extremely vicious. He only fed her one meal a day, often beat her, and frequently threatened her, telling her not to tell anyone and especially not to report to the authorities, or he would definitely beat her to death.

She also said that her parents didn't want her anymore, otherwise how could he have taken her out so easily?

Qiaoguo was so terrified by the kidnappers that he lived in constant fear and trepidation, and dared not speak to anyone or report the incident to the authorities.

Later, she was kidnapped and sold to the Wang family, where she became a maid to Wang Li, the eldest son of the Wang family.

The eldest son of the Wang family was extremely violent and often beat and scolded his servants.

He treated people like dirt. She witnessed a maid spill tea on his clothes because she couldn't hold the cup properly. His face changed instantly, his eyes turned red, and he looked terrifying.

The maid was on good terms with Qiaoguo, and the two became inseparable friends in the large Wang family mansion.

He beat the maid severely, as if he were not doing it as punishment, but simply to release his pent-up emotions.

The maid kept begging for mercy, but he ignored her completely.

They kept hitting her like that for half an hour, until the maid was unconscious and silent, but he still continued.

Later, that maid died.

He threw the maid's body directly into a mass grave, saying it was bad luck.

Since it was bought with money anyway, I'm not responsible for anything even if you beat me to death.

Qiaoguo watched helplessly as her best friend died at the hands of this devil, feeling both heartbroken and terrified.

She had nightmares for several days in a row.

Because of Wang Li's bad reputation, no one dared to marry their daughter to her.

Wang Li's mother saw that Qiao Guo was quite beautiful, so she made her her concubine.

This was just the beginning of the Qiaoguo nightmare.

Wang Li had no sense of chivalry whatsoever, and Qiao Guo suffered excruciating pain every time they had sex, but she could only endure it.

After being promoted to concubine, things were no better than when she was a maid; Wang Li often beat her.

Later, when Qiaoguo became pregnant, Wang Li disregarded the child in her womb and kicked her directly in the stomach.

The kick caused Qiaoguo to miscarry.

Wang Li also cursed her for being unlucky, saying that she couldn't even protect one child.

Just a few days after her miscarriage, while Qiaoguo was still bedridden, Wang Li had sex with her again, making Qiaoguo feel like she was dying.

Not long after, Qiaoguo became pregnant again.

Wang Li hit her again, this time breaking one of her ribs, and she lost the baby again.

Qiaoguo lay on the couch, her eyes lifeless.

Her body was covered in bruises and welts; every inch of her body was in pain.

The doctor said she could never have children again.

She didn't know how long she would have to endure this kind of life.

She fantasized more than once that someone would come to save her and pull her out of the dark abyss, but it was all just a fantasy.

Wang Li was also strolling around the house.

The doctor had previously said that Qiaoguo's baby was going to die, and that she would never be able to have children again.

They're so useless.

If she can't even have children, we might as well just beat her to death today; keeping her alive is just a waste of food.

Just then, a loud noise came from the gate of the house, as if it was being rammed.

Wang Li was immediately enraged.

Who's so blind as to dare to break down his front door?

Observing from a distance, I saw the gate being kicked open, and a large number of people, about a hundred or so, poured in. I immediately sensed something was wrong.

These people were aggressive and clearly had ill intentions.

The one in the lead had an extraordinary air about him and didn't look like an ordinary person.

He didn't know this person and had never seen him before.

He had only killed a few servants; he hadn't made any enemies outside.

Wang Li watched from afar, and the old man of the Wang family happened to be at the door, so he went straight to greet him.

"How dare you! Who are you to trespass on my royal residence?"

King Zhao looked at the person in front of him. He had already inquired about the situation outside and knew that this person should be the patriarch of the Wang family.

For so many years, he has allowed his son to commit murder.

The thought of his daughter suffering in such a family filled King Zhao with rage. He jumped off his horse and punched the old man in the face.

King Zhao practiced martial arts for many years and possessed astonishing strength.

Old Master Wang's nosebleed splattered into the air, and he was completely stunned, collapsing to the ground.

"I'm here to find someone! You have a maid named Qiaoguo who married your son as a concubine. Where is she? Hand her over right now!" King Zhao roared.

Wang Li saw this scene from a distance and was startled.

The other side actually brought so many people and dared to directly attack his father?

Moreover, that man actually called himself "this king"! In the entire Great Yao Dynasty, there were very few people who could call themselves "this king".

Judging from his age, he can only be the current emperor's younger brother, King Zhao.

The mighty King Zhao actually led an army and barged into his small royal home.

According to what the other party said, they came looking for Qiaoguo (a type of fruit).

The Wang family has a terrible reputation, and no one is willing to sell their child to work for them, for fear of being beaten to death.

Therefore, most of the servants in his household were provided by a broker.

He knew perfectly well how the man under that broker had come to be.

Most of them are trafficked children.

These abducted children came from all over the country, and with the Wang family colluding with local officials, these abducted children had no way to report to the authorities and find their families.

Over the years, nothing has gone wrong.

Today, King Zhao has brought so many troops, specifically asking for Qiaoguo by name.

He had heard that King Zhao had lost a daughter and had been searching for her all these years. She was about the same age as Qiaoguo!

Could it be that Qiaoguo is his long-lost child? And that he has already found out the truth through the kidnapper and followed the clues to this place?

Wang Li was filled with fear.

King Zhao! That's King Zhao!

What would be the consequences if I offended King Zhao?

He is a prince personally appointed by His Majesty, commanding 100,000 troops, and even His Majesty has to be wary of him.

Even if King Zhao kills him today, he probably won't have to bear any responsibility.
