Chapter 1374 “To Trick a Child (6)”
“You… You’re” Stumbling backwards, her face told everyone that she didn’t expect this encounter and in such a surprising manner.
“Are you my parent’s subordinate? Why haven’t I seen you before?” Stepping forward, Bai Xiachen asks with a much heavier tone that conveyed he’s suspicious and on guard.
Nearly losing her wits due to the panic swelling inside: “Highness, the king has so many demons working under him, how can you know all of us? It’s normal for you to not recognize me.”
That’s a logical excuse, which the steambun didn’t refute with a nod. “So you wanted to take my brother to eat, is that right? What kind of food did you have in mind, and where?”
The woman’s face grew even paler than mere seconds ago over the obvious interrogation. Trying hard to suppress her inner horror: “I… I only heard His Highness likes to eat, that’s why I offered to make him a couple of dishes I learned recently. I shouldn’t have gotten the idea to get close to His Highness, please forgive me.”
Plop!
Taking to the knee, she began to kowtow repeatedly with her forehead making a banging sound upon impact.
Looking down with narrowed eyes now, Bai Xiachen doesn’t look moved in the slightest at the plea: “If you really only wanted to get close to my brother then why don’t you follow me back to the palace. I’m sure my mother will like to meet you in person, how about it?”
The woman visibly froze in that moment. She couldn’t even bring herself to look up anymore due to how scared she felt inside.
To see the queen at the palace?
I’m not going to come back out alive if I go!
If that happens, Mu Xue will definitely kill my younger brother!
“You’re still going to keep lying?” Encroaching in a menacing manner now, Bai Xiachen tosses his smiling façade aside to take on a threatening form that dominated the close proximity.
“Do you know what happens to those who betray my mother? Not only do you get punished, your family and relatives will also be charged in the same way!”
That comment finally made the woman fluster up, which was promptly caught by the kid.
This woman is from the leopard tribe so she must be related to that Mu Xue in some way if she’s trying to abduct Jin Tian. Bai Xiachen thought.
“I’ll ask you one last time, where is Mu Xue. How is she able to avoid being tracked by the palace guards?”
Gulping in a difficult way, the maid backtracked again into a corner: “Highness, I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’ve never seen Mu Xue ever since she fled….”
Not buying that excuse in the slightest, Bai Xiachen starts getting angry in his voice: “It seems this conversation is going nowhere. Won’t matter though, once I give you to Mother and have her deal with you then I’m sure you will spill everything. Just so you know, my mother has a lot of way to make one talk. For example, going after your loved ones is one of the ways we can go about this issue, don’t you agree?”
The last bit of the threat was a deliberate shot at the maid’s side. He’s never been one to involve parties that hasn’t done anything, but if these demons are going to keep aiming for his younger siblings then all bets are off!
“No!” The maid finally broke down, allowing the tears to flow like a waterfall, “I don’t know, I really don’t know anything. Mu Xue kidnapped my younger brother when she left the tribe. I’m only doing this because she threatened to kill him if I don’t do as she says….”
