The scheming empress starts by conquering men

"Is she kind-hearted?" Ada snorted coldly and said sternly, "If she were kind, there would be no evil people in this world!"

"Twenty years ago, when my father was still young, I heard from the elders in the village that she was in rags and covered in wounds when she was rescued by an old couple in the south of the village. They took her home to recuperate and adopted her as their daughter."

"Who would have thought that I would raise such a disaster, such an ungrateful person!"

"Not long after she woke up, it happened to be the village's memorial day which is held once every twenty years."

"On the day of the sacrifice, the sacred ancient locust tree in our village caught fire for unknown reasons, and the old couple who raised her died in the fire."

"She is the only one who is alive and well, but I heard that her face was burned and disfigured."

"Didn't you see her face? It was all burnt. She deserved it!"

"At that time, the villagers wanted to kill her for sacrifice to avenge the old woman."

"Guess what? Anyone who touches her dies inexplicably, and not only that, she also..."

Ada said, sighing with fear in his eyes.

It seemed that whenever he thought of that scene from that year, he felt inexplicably panicked.

He was so frightened that he didn't even dare to talk about what happened.

"What else happened to her?" Shaodian Sishui continued to ask curiously.

Ada did not respond to her, but murmured, "Everyone has been in danger since then. Who dares to get close to her?"

Shaodian Sishui narrowed her eyes to hide the brilliance in them, and asked again in confusion, "Why did she become a witch doctor now? It seems that my mother and father are also in awe of her."

"What's awe? That's fear, that's terror!" Ada was not afraid of his daughter laughing at him, so he shook his head and said, "You are still young, and you don't understand many things."

He paused as he spoke, warning her.

"Remember to avoid her when you see her in the future, and never talk to her. You might die in her hands one day."

Shaodian Sishui nodded in fear and agreed, "I understand, father. I will never see her again. I don't want to be killed by her at such a young age."

"Good boy!" Ada patted her head. "Take a rest. I'll feed you when it's time to eat. I have to go to the river now. Your dirty clothes are smelly. You have to wash them."

"Father, don't wash it in such a cold weather. Otherwise, the clothes will be useless and your hands will get frozen."

Shaodian Sishui looked serious and distressed.

"How can this be possible?" Ada disagreed and said softly, "Don't worry, father is used to it."

Shaodian Sishui's eyes were filled with tears of heartache and grievance.

"I'm sorry for making you suffer so much. When I get better, I will not let you suffer any more. From now on, you don't have to do anything every day. Zhao'er will support you!"

Ada paused as he stroked her head. A complex expression flashed across his eyes. A genuine smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he sighed.

"Okay, Father will wait for Zhao'er to get better and take care of Father. Lie down and have a rest."

"Ah."

Shaodian Sishui nodded, lay down with a smile, closed her eyes and continued to rest.

Ada looked at her deeply and sighed in his heart, how great it would be if this was really his daughter!

Such a filial and sensible woman will surely marry a capable and good husband in the future. Maybe her good days are really waiting for her.

It's a pity that she is not his daughter and can only be used as a sacrifice by him.

In the evening, Ada came back and fed Shaodian Sishui personally, then boiled a bowl of medicine and handed it to her personally.

"Take the medicine and rest early. The more you rest, the better your injury will be."

Shaodian Sishui took the medicine bowl, sniffed it, and could already smell the sleeping drug mixed in it.

She looked up at the men in front of her. Logically, they saved her, so she should be grateful.

But why are they doing this now?

You can't really want to kidnap her and make her your daughter, but even if you do, you can't imprison her or drug her.

Shaodian Sishui frowned, thought about it, pretended that the medicine was sour and bitter, and moved the medicine bowl away with a look of disgust.

"Can you please not drink it? It's too bitter."

"No, you have to drink it. You have to drink it. How can your body be healthy if you don't drink it?" Ada pushed it back and took out candied fruit from his pocket. "After you drink it, your father will give you candied fruit."

It seems that I have to take this medicine.

Shaodian Sishui lowered her eyelids to cover the cold light in her eyes.

The opportunity has been given, but they don't want it.

Then don't blame her for repaying kindness with enmity.

She remained calm, picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it in big gulps.

After drinking it, he frowned and stuck out his tongue; "It's so bitter."

Ada handed her the candied fruit. "It won't be bitter after you eat it. Go to bed early after you finish eating it."

Shaodian Sishui took the candied fruit and put it in her mouth, nodded to him with a smile, yawned as she lay down, and then fell asleep.

As soon as she fell asleep, she heard Qingmei's voice.

"Ada, is Zhao'er asleep?"

Shaodian Sishui felt a pair of eyes constantly looking back and forth at her face, but she remained calm and breathed evenly.

Then I heard Ada say, "Don't worry, my wife, she is breathing evenly. The medicine is taking effect. She must have fallen asleep."

Qingmei didn't speak, and Ada didn't speak either.

Shaodian Sishui listened attentively, thinking, these two wouldn't just leave like that?

As a result, Qingmei's voice rang in my ears.

"That's good. Let's go, let's go find the tribe leader and talk about the sacrifice."

Ada said, "Wife, I have to go to Hongmei's house too."

Qingmei was stunned. "What? Her family is going too? Her family is also planning to use that foreign man as a sacrifice?"

Otherwise, how could he go with their family to find the clan leader and discuss the matter of changing the person performing the sacrifice in advance?

"Of course, who wants to see their own child being sacrificed?"

Ada complained with some disdain in his voice.

"The Hongmei family didn't agree at first, saying that sacrifice is the clan's own business and has nothing to do with outsiders, and outsiders can't replace them."

"Ah, listen to what bullshit she's saying, huh?"

"Why would the sacrifice distinguish between outsiders and clan members? As long as they are human, it's fine."

"You didn't see Bingyi's look, his righteous attitude. If it weren't for my daughter's love for Ali, I would never want to be his relative."

"He is a hypocrite, a real villain."

"He kept saying that he would let Ali perform the sacrifice, but what happened? He took those men he brought back to his home, imprisoned them, and performed the sacrifice. Humph!"

"What excuses are you making? If it weren't for our daughter's love for his son and we couldn't bear to see our daughter lose her husband, we would have definitely let Ali perform the sacrifice. Do you think this is human language?"

"It's obvious that he couldn't bear to see his son die, and he cursed our daughter to lose her husband! What a heartless bunch of people."

Qingmei said impatiently, "That's enough, what are they complaining about? I watched Ali grow up, and I understand his temperament. He is not like his father, who says one thing to his face and another behind his back."

"Stop talking and go. I guess we should be waiting."

As the two of them were talking and walking out, Qingmei suddenly asked again, "By the way, that righteousness you just mentioned, isn't it the righteousness that matters?"

Ada suddenly realized and said in surprise, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. That person always pretends to be righteous and serious, but in fact he is the real villain!"

The two people's voices became farther and farther away until they disappeared. Shaodian Sishui still did not open his eyes, but waited.

Although she had lost all her internal strength at this moment and could not sense whether there was anyone around her, her consciousness was very strong and she could feel that someone was staring at her.
