Chapter 960: At dawn tomorrow, the Ximen family will be destroyed.

Ji Lier said sadly, "Afterwards, when I was fifteen, Ximen Yinshuang suddenly had a serious heart problem and was in critical condition. Ximen Lie, the man I once called my father, actually wanted to take my heart in order to save his beloved daughter."

"When my mother learned about this, she firmly disagreed. In order to protect me from having my heart dug out, she even told Simon Lie that I was not his biological daughter at all."

"However, after hearing the news, although Ximen Lie was extremely angry, he did not give up his terrible plan."

Ji Lier's voice became increasingly deeper, revealing her deep hatred for Ximen Lie.

"It turns out that all of this was a conspiracy by Ximen Lie and Sima Lan. They secretly instructed the palace doctor to deliberately say something like 'If you want to completely cure Ximen Yinshuang's illness, you need the heart of a close relative with a pure yin body as a medicine.'"

"Their goal is to get rid of us, mother and daughter, so that Sima Lan can be promoted to the principal wife, and at the same time get rid of me, the eldest daughter, so that Ximen Yinshuang can get rid of her status as a concubine's daughter and become the legitimate daughter of the Ximen Yinshi family."

Ji Lier's words were full of helplessness and resentment.

"But in fact, curing Ximen Yinshuang's heart disease does not necessarily require a pure Yin body and the heart of a close relative. As long as the woman has a pure Yin body, her heart can also be used as a medicine. It does not have to be a close relative."

"Although I am not her biological daughter, I have a pure Yin body, so Ximen Lie is unwilling to let me go."

"My mother tried her best to stop Ximen Lie in order to protect me. But as a weak woman, how could she resist Ximen Lie's power and tactics? In the end, Ximen Lie secretly poisoned my mother on a rainy night..."

Ji Lier couldn't continue speaking. She curled up and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Su Yi felt heartbroken when he saw her in pain.

He couldn't bear it any longer, so he quickly stepped forward and carefully took Ji Li'er into his arms.

The boy's body exuded a warm breath, like a solid wall, tightly isolating those terrible dark memories.

In Su Yi's arms, Ji Lier finally calmed down.

After a long while, she slowly raised her head and continued, "Before my mother died, she told me everything and asked her personal maid Yunniang to find a way to send me away.

"later……"

Ji Lier's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she was back in that horrible rainy night.

Her voice became a little hoarse, "Later, in order to protect me and let me leave safely, Yunniang took me to escape through the secret passage, but I ran into Ximen Yinshuang at the alley entrance.

Su Yi subconsciously clenched his fists and looked at Ji Lier's neck with veins bulging.

Ji Lier's voice became hoarse and broken: "I will never forget that jade hairpin. It was mother's favorite white jade, held in Ximen Yinshuang's blood-stained hands."

"Yunniang stood in front of me. I saw with my own eyes that Ximen Yinshuang used his mother's jade hairpin to pierce Yunniang's throat. The sound of the jade hairpin piercing her throat was even more piercing than the thunderbolt."

The horrible scene kept flashing before my eyes.

Yunniang's warm blood splattered on her face. Ximen Yinshuang had a twisted smile on her pale face. Raindrops mixed with blood meandered on the bluestone slabs to form strange spells.

The seemingly frail half sister was like a demon crawling out of hell, her eyes full of greed and madness, without even a trace of compassion or guilt.

"Because of what the court doctor said, 'I need the heart of a loved one with a pure Yin body.'" Ji Lier suddenly laughed, but her laughter was full of bitterness.

Her mother, a gentle and kind woman, thought she could save her life by telling the truth.

However, she didn't know that all this was a cruel trap set by Ximen Lie and Sima Lan.

"What they wanted was never to cure the disease, but to take my mother's life, and to completely wipe out the existence of me, the legitimate daughter of the Ximen family."

Ji Lier's voice became lower and lower, like bubbles floating up from under the ice, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill.

Her fingertips dug into her palms unconsciously, her nails digging deep into the flesh, but she didn't feel any pain at all.

Before her death, her mother held her in her arms and used all her spiritual power to transform it into golden threads that penetrated into her heart. This was not a restriction to seal her bloodline at all.

This seal was not meant to seal her bloodline, but to seal her pure yin body, locking her pure yin body into a spiritual cage.

Because the Ximen family has a magic weapon that can detect women with pure yin bodies, or men with pure yang bodies, and her pure yin body was exposed casually because of this magic weapon!

If the mother had not sealed her pure yin body, even if she had been sent away, she could still be found easily with this magic weapon.

There was a sudden thunder in the sky, illuminating the tear marks on Ji Lier's face.

"This Ximen Yinshuang looks sick, but I didn't expect her to be so vicious," Yu Zhiyan took a breath as she listened to Ji Lier's story.

She remembered the first time she met Ximen Yinshuang at Ximen Yinshuang's birthday party. That delicate girl leaning in Sima Lan's arms had such a vicious heart hidden under her pale face.

She originally thought that Ximen Yinshuang's pale face was just due to physical weakness.

Now I understand that it is not only a disease, but also a kind of satisfaction after devouring the lives of others.

Ji Lier took a deep breath, as if she wanted to let out all the fear and anxiety in her heart.

"You all know what happened later," she said with a slightly trembling voice. "I escaped and was saved by Su Yi and Master. But because I injured my head, I forgot that I was not Ximen Lie's biological daughter. I only remembered it today."

The bonfire gradually got smaller in the night wind, shining on everyone's face, casting shadows of varying depths.

It was quiet all around and no one spoke.

Only the slight crackling sound of burning wood was particularly clear in the quiet night.

Su Chenyin looked at Ji Lier, who was curled up in Su Yi's arms and trembling all over, with heartache.

Her body trembled slightly with fear, and tears kept falling like pearls from a broken string.

Su Chenyin quickly stood up, walked quickly to Ji Lier, squatted down, and gently held Ji Lier's cold hand.

"Sister Li'er, Sister Li'er, don't be afraid, we are here." Su Chenyin comforted softly, her voice full of concern and heartache.

The warmth of the girl's palm was transmitted through her skin, bringing a reassuring power that made Ji Lier's body relax a little.

Su Chenyin held Ji Lier's hand tightly and said solemnly: "I promise you that Ximen Lie will definitely pay the price for what he did."

"At dawn tomorrow, we will destroy the Ximen family and seek justice for you!"

As she spoke, she reached out and wiped the tears from Ji Lier's cheeks, as if she wanted to wipe away all her pain and sorrow.
