Chapter 888: Chapter 891 Are you disgusted with me?

Xu Clan returned to the village and made a point of updating Duo'er on the situation.

Lord Qin declared in the courtroom that Hu Banxian's actions were abominable, sentenced him to twenty lashes, and imposed a three-year term.

Such punishment satisfied the Xu Clan; wrongdoers deserved to be penalized.

For Qiao Duo'er, however, it only increased her anxiety.

Given the current penal system, Hu Banxian's sentence should not have been so severe; Qin Longyun did this for only one reason—he must have noticed something amiss as well.

If it were truly Xuan San, given his character, he would certainly seek revenge for Xuan Eagle Mountain Village and Yin Yinyue.

More than half a year had passed since those two incidents, ample time for Xuan San to devise a significant plan for revenge.

What could his plan be?

At this point, Qiao Duo'er's only hope laid with Qin Longyun, hoping he could uncover something useful during his investigation.
