When Shu Ying heard that he was going to be poisoned, he felt thunderstruck. With his eyes popping wide, he tried to get away from Qiao Sha, "No! I wouldn't dare to—please let me go. I—I will go into exile."
Compared to being poisoned and dying, Shu Ying knew that getting exiled was much better. At least he would be alive. As long as he was alive, there was always a chance to turn the situation around but if he died, what was he going to do?
Qiao Sha sneered when she heard the words of the mer. She turned and looked at him with a hint of disgust in her eyes before saying, "Do you think this house of mine is somewhere you can come in and leave as you please? Since you dared to step inside, then you need to hand your life in return."
Shu Ying was speechless. Were the gates of the Qiao family the gates to heaven that if he walked through them he had to die?
