800 Cursing 2

Madam Li sneered, pointed at him, and scolded him, infuriating Sun Xiaoyong again and again, but he could not escape the cage. Then, he gave up helplessly.

In just one night, the true identity of this fox-faced demon was known by everyone in the city.

The reason why the news spread so quickly was that everyone who participated in throwing the rotten vegetables spread the news when they returned home, completely destroying the fear that the fox-faced demon had left in people’s hearts.

The next morning, many people came. They either threw rotten eggs and vegetables or cursed.

Sun Xiaoyong was angered many times. He slammed into the cage crazily, causing it to make a loud sound.

At this moment, Madam Li would laugh out loud and say in a disdainful and mocking tone, “How many times has it been? As expected, you haven’t changed at all. A paper tiger is a paper tiger. You will never become a real tiger.”

Madam Li’s mockery and disdain were like countless knives stabbing deeply into Sun Xiaoyong’s heart, shattering all his confidence. He let out a furious roar like a ferocious beast, but in exchange, everyone laughed at him.

Seeing that Madam Li was not afraid, gradually, no one was.

Even if Madam Li left, Sun Xiaoyong could not scare anyone. No matter how scary he was, people would laugh and mock him.

Even the beggars could walk over and spit on him.

The families of the women that Sun Xiaoyong had once harmed also came to mock Sun Xiaoyong.

Minister Zhang listened to the servant’s report and was deep in thought.

Although his two daughters were safe and sound that day, they were frightened out of their wits. They hadn’t recovered for a few days and were uneasy all day. Even the slightest movement would scare them. Even maidservants couldn’t walk quietly or loudly.

At the end of the day, it was a mental illness. It would naturally be fine once the root cause was resolved.

Madam Zhang looked haggard and couldn’t eat. Minister Zhang had already suggested it once, but Madam Zhang had rejected it. What if her daughter didn’t have the courage and was scared out of her wits again?

People could be scared silly.

His two daughters were not in a good state now, but if they ate more medicine, they would slowly recover.

Seeing Madam Zhang return, Minister Zhang sighed and said, “Madam, you don’t know this, but the market is surrounded by people today. Anyone can curse them. No one is afraid of that demon anymore. If the world isn’t afraid, why would our daughters be?”

Madam Zhang’s expression was dejected. “Master, I really don’t want to cause any more trouble. Xuerou and Xueyu are both frightened. If anything happens to them again, I really don’t know what to do. Although it’s not good now, they will slowly recover.”

“Tomorrow is the last day, right? That demon will be executed on the day after tomorrow, right? As long as the demon dies, we will definitely slowly forget this news.”

Madam Zhang also sighed. As long as the demon died, these fears would slowly dissipate.

“Up to you. I just feel that it’s better to let them see with their own eyes. Even if they don’t scold him, it’s fine to let them see how others scold and mock him.”

Minister Zhang wanted to, but he was powerless. He couldn’t make the decision.

Madam Zhang was silent. She drank some tea with Minister Zhang and quickly went to accompany her two daughters.

She had personally taken care of her two daughters for the past few nights.

Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu had both lost weight and their faces were pale. When they saw Madam Zhang return, the two of them called out weakly, “Mother.”

Madam Zhang brought the two of them to the bed. She hugged her daughters and coaxed them to sleep.

Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu did not dare to sleep. They did not sleep well at all for the past few nights. They could not fall asleep even late at night.

Madam Zhang’s heart ached, but she was helpless.

“Mother, is what they said true? Is that demon really very weak?”

Zhang Xueyu suddenly asked.

Zhang Xuerou’s body tensed up for a moment before she reacted.

Madam Zhang paused for a moment and said, “It’s true. Everyone can spit on him. That demon’s true identity is that of the most cowardly and incompetent person. His wife said that he’s worse than an animal. Even the beggars by the roadside are stronger than him.”

After Madam Zhang finished speaking, she subconsciously tested and blurted out, “Tomorrow is the third day. The day after tomorrow, that wife of his will fight him head-on. Lord Jiang gave her the right to punish the demons on the spot. It will definitely be very grand the day after tomorrow. Everyone in Suzhou City will go and take a look.”

“Mother, do you think that demon will win? After all, he’s a demon. He kills without blinking and can even become invisible. He also has an invulnerable body.”

Zhang Xuerou trembled and asked the question she was afraid of.

Madam Zhang swallowed and replied firmly, “Of course he won’t win. Have you forgotten? That day, he came to commit murder and the little girl who protected you was so heroic. He was caught that time, and this time will definitely be no exception. That little girl is a very powerful expert. She won’t let him go.”

Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu could no longer remember Su Xiaolu. They were only immersed in their fear and hypnotized themselves. Then, they became more and more afraid.

“It definitely won’t be that simple. Mother, that demon might win. He will definitely start a massacre. Mother, go and tell Father that we’re moving.”

Zhang Xueyu was crying. She really didn’t want to live in Suzhou anymore. She was afraid.

Madam Zhang’s heart ached. It was difficult to swallow. If they moved, wouldn’t these things happen elsewhere?

The world had changed, foreign lands had appeared, and demons had appeared. It was the same everywhere.

“Sleep in peace. Father and Mother will settle everything.”

Madam Zhang calmed herself down and said gently.

Zhang Xuerou and Zhang Xueyu fell asleep only because they couldn’t take it anymore.

Madam Zhang didn’t sleep all night. When dawn came, she got up and returned to her room.

Seeing that Minister Zhang didn’t look too good, Madam Zhang’s heart ached. “Master, you have to take care of yourself.”

Minister Zhang sighed. “Madam, come and eat a bowl of bird’s nest. You definitely couldn’t sleep last night.”

Madam Zhang sat down and slowly ate the tonic. After taking a few bites, she looked at Minister Zhang and said, “Master, you’re right, but Xuerou and Xueyu are very afraid. They wouldn’t dare to go out. Even if you want them to go and take a look, you have to find an excuse.”

“Last night, they actually wanted to leave Suzhou. The world is so big. Who knows if there are any demons elsewhere? We can’t avoid them.” Madam Zhang’s heart ached when she thought of what they had said last night. If she didn’t remove the fear in her daughters’ hearts, they would be plagued by nightmares for the rest of their lives.

“Then lie to them that we’re moving tomorrow and bring them to see how that demon dies,” Minister Zhang said firmly.

Madam Zhang nodded.

Early in the morning, Su Xiaolu came to see Madam Li. Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Over the past few days, Sun Xiaoyong had been scolded and laughed at. Today was the day Sun Xiaoyong would be punished. Su Xiaolu came to see Madam Li and watched her dress up. Su Xiaolu was puzzled. “Auntie Li, why are you dressed up today?”

A few days ago, Madam Li had not washed up and dressed like this when she was sitting on the street, but today, she did.
