On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Must she be satisfied tonight?

This sounds strange.

Su Sui'an forced himself to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, pursed his lips, turned his eyes away, and changed the subject.

"Open the cell door."

"Yes." The secret guard bowed respectfully to Su Sui'an, turned his head and raised his chin to the other side, "Open the cell door."

Several other tall men, also wearing the uniforms of the Dingbei Palace's secret guards, emerged from the darkness. One of them took out the key and opened the lock on the prison door with ease.

The sound of the iron chain hitting the copper lock was so crisp and loud that it woke up the unconscious Hong.

"Who are you? What are you going to do?"

As she spoke, her face was almost facing Su Sui'an. In the light of the fire in the dungeon, Su Sui'an saw clearly the changes in Hong's appearance.

Compared with the elegant and graceful appearance in Su Sui'an's impression, the current Hong is skinny, with gray hair, and even her well-maintained appearance is covered with traces of time. Except for the facial features that vaguely show that she is the former Hong, there is no trace of the majestic and graceful appearance of the past.

Rather than saying that the woman was the former wife of Marquis Changping, it would be more accurate to say that she looked more like a beggar woman who had stolen clothes from a wealthy family.

She panicked and struggled helplessly.

When she saw clearly Su Sui'an standing behind the secret guard, Hong's face changed, her lips trembled, and she even forgot what she was going to say for a moment.

Su Sui'an raised a playful smile and crossed his arms over his chest, "Long time no see."

It has been nearly three months since we last saw each other since the thank-you banquet. Isn’t that a long time?

only...

"You vicious little bitch, what do you want to do? Have you forgotten how the Marquis' Mansion treated your family? Without the Marquis' Mansion, you would still be a family of peasants..."

When Hong came back to her senses and saw Su Sui'an appear in front of her, her first reaction was that Su Sui'an had sent someone to capture her.

In her eyes, Su Sui'an was just the adopted daughter of the Marquis of Changping. How dare a mere adopted daughter touch her?

It's totally counterintuitive.

She had finally escaped from the evil den of Changping Marquis Mansion. How could she be willing to go back into the cage of Changping Marquis Mansion?

"If you know what's good for you, let me go immediately. Otherwise, when I get out..."

This might be the most words Hong had ever spoken to Su Sui'an.

Unfortunately, Su Sui'an turned a deaf ear to her curses.

She allowed the guards around her to escort her and no one was trying to block her mouth.

Until Hong got tired of scolding and stopped.

She rubbed her ears with her hands and asked the secret guard beside her impatiently, "What is Hong Xiru doing now?"

Not understanding why Su Sui'an had such a question, the secret guard still answered respectfully, "The carriage of the Hong Mansion heading out of the city was intercepted. After some elimination, Lord Hong locked the target on the Yong'an Earl's Mansion. Now he is probably still looking for trouble with the Yong'an Earl's Mansion..."

As soon as the secret guard's words came out, before Su Sui'an could respond, Hong screamed, "What did you say?"

The Hong family is going to cause trouble for the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion?

The Hong Mansion and the Yong'an Earl Mansion can barely be considered as in-laws. If my eldest brother really went to cause trouble for the Yong'an Earl Mansion as Su Sui'an's people said, then...

"Su Sui'an, how can you be so vicious?"

Hong's turbid eyes were filled with hatred.

If the Yong'an Earl's Mansion and the Hong Mansion really fell out over this matter, then the ministers who were on good terms with the Yong'an Earl's Mansion would certainly target the Hong Mansion.

When Hong Xiru took Hong Shi back to the Hong Mansion, she learned that because of the thank-you banquet, the Hong Mansion was implicated by the Changping Marquis Mansion and its reputation became extremely bad. Grandpa had been exhausted because of the impeachment of the Hong Mansion...

If the Hong family is impeached again, I'm afraid...

"Su Sui'an, every wrong has its perpetrator. Even if you are dissatisfied with the Changping Marquis's Mansion because of the thank-you banquet, you should not vent your anger on the Hong Mansion..."

Hong howled at Su Sui'an in a hoarse voice, as if Su Sui'an had done something unforgivable.

Su Sui'an chuckled, pulled out the dagger he was carrying and walked over to Hong.

"First of all, I am not venting my anger on others. The Hong family's behavior over the years has been disgusting for a long time. Hong Xiru has done many things that are hard to describe. So everyone is pushing the wall down, so you can't blame me.

Secondly, the thank-you banquet was the result of the Changping Marquis's own actions, and had nothing to do with me. I was indeed dissatisfied with the Changping Marquis's residence, but there was no need to dirty my hands. Everyone in the Changping Marquis's residence had the ability to kill me.

Finally, Hong, you have to understand that I am the butcher and you are the meat..."

At this point, Su Sui'an gently pushed aside the secret guard in front of him, took out the dagger he carried with him, and gently slapped it on Hong's face, "It's your nature that you like to curse people, but it's also my instinct to dislike your voice..."

The cold blade flashed with a chill as it passed across Hong's thin cheek. Hong felt a chill flowing along the blade along her cheek to her limbs and bones.

Until a slight stinging pain came from my cheek.

She was shocked to realize that Su Sui'an seemed to be really merciless.

She swallowed and tried to use her weak words to save the meager friendship between her and Su Sui'an.

“Is… is there something… ah!!”

Before she could finish her words, she felt a pain in her tongue, which almost made her faint.

Before she could even scream, she felt a pain in her body, and after that, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make any sound.

Su Sui'an sighed and looked at the secret guard who had disabled Hong's mute point with approval, "I didn't take action earlier, but fortunately it's not too late now."

She did it on purpose!!

Hong knew that she had no way to escape, and her eyes widened.

She didn't understand why Su Sui'an suddenly became so vicious?

No matter how many things she had done to hurt her before, she was still her aunt and her elder. How dare she?

Looking at Su Sui'an again, her eyes were cold and her face was stained with hot blood, but there was a satisfied smile at the corner of her mouth.

The beautiful face flickered in the dim yet eerily quiet firelight of the dungeon, like a murderous evil spirit.

Ignoring Hong's frightened pale face, Su Sui'an smiled, "Since the Hong family has already said that you died tragically under the torture of the Changping Marquis' Mansion, if I don't confirm it, it seems a bit sorry for the Hong family's trouble in arranging it these days..."

Hearing this, Hong seemed to have suddenly felt a weak spot and almost jumped up.

But she was pressed down on both sides and couldn't move at all.

If looks could kill, Su Sui'an would have been chopped into pieces by now.

Her face was grim and she opened her empty mouth, but no sound came out.

Su Sui'an put away the smile on his face and said, "Dig out her eyes, cut the tendons of her hands and feet and throw her back to the Hong Mansion."

Since the situation has already gotten chaotic, if she doesn't add some fuel to the fire, it would be a bit of a shame for all the hard work she put in. Even though it was almost all Fu Jingrong who did the hard work, she also had the credit of fanning the flames, didn't she?

The secret guard moved quickly.

Because Hong's mute point was disabled, she didn't even have time to struggle before her throat was cut.

Su Sui'an watched coldly as Hong's body was folded into various strange shapes, without any ripples in his heart.

In the previous life, if Hong had shown a little compassion towards her second wife, Chi'er and her mother would not have died so tragically...

But...

Hong did not.

Not only that, she even spread rumors everywhere after my mother and my younger brother died, saying that my mother was restless even as a slave and seduced Prince Yun...

He said that I was sent to the palace because I was arrogant and disrespectful and didn't treat the eunuchs as talents, so I was retaliated by the eunuchs. I didn't survive the knife because I was unlucky...

When she was sent to the palace, she sent someone to give Liu Ying money so that Liu Ying could buy her and abuse and humiliate her in every possible way, so that she even lost her uterus...

Whenever Su Sui'an thought of the events of her previous life, she would feel pain all over her body, especially the pain and despair she felt when her uterus was dug out...

She didn't intend to let the culprit go.

"Miss Su, are you feeling unwell?"

The secret guard's whispered question rang in his ears, and Su Sui'an suddenly came back to his senses.

When the dull pain in her body subsided, she was shocked to find that her forehead was covered with cold sweat without her noticing.

The secret guard thought she was frightened and looked at her respectfully again, "Do you need me to take you back first?"

Su Sui'an waved his hand, "No need, I saw it with my own eyes."

How could she leave with peace of mind without seeing Hong die completely with her own eyes?
