Chapter 108 Tyranny_2

Jiang Li said, "Auntie, do you not know, or are you unwilling to speak?"

Chunfang lifted her head to look at Jiang Li, and mustered her courage, "Why do you want to inquire about Lord Xue's affairs? Who are you?"

Pressured by Jiang Li's questioning, nobody would believe that she was merely asking out of curiosity anymore. But Chunfang's reluctance to discuss it was inadvertently revealing. Jiang Li smiled and said, "Who I am is not important; what matters is that I want to inquire about the Xue Family's affairs. Auntie, are you willing to talk or not?"

Chunfang knew Jiang Li, their many years as neighbors made clear she was a warm and kind-hearted person. Jiang Li believed that if it weren't for immense fear, Chunfang would never stand by and watch her own father fall into prison. The people of Tongxiang felt the same, but what kind of threat could make these common folks too scared to stand up?
