After seeing off Manager Cui and his gang, Ji Yuntang immediately went to the woodshed where Nanny Xu was imprisoned.

"Open the door for me, my princess."

The two servants at the door were dozing listlessly until a sharp voice was heard. They woke up with a start and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Princess, please forgive me. I didn't fall asleep on purpose. It was because Aunt Xu cried, laughed and cursed in the woodshed last night. I was too sleepy..."

Ji Yuntang interrupted them coldly, "Don't let this princess repeat it a second time, open the door!"

The two servants then quickly took the key and opened the door of the woodshed.

As soon as Ji Yuntang entered, a dagger shining with silver light stabbed towards her chest.

"You little bitch, pay with my daughter's life!"

Ji Yuntang reacted very quickly. She moved her body sideways and grabbed Nanny Xu's hand that was stabbing at her. She relaxed her force and twisted it with her backhand. The sound of slaughtering a pig instantly rang in her ears.

"Ahhh!"

The dagger also fell to the ground with a clang.

Ji Yuntang kicked Madam Xu away and said, "Tell me, did you borrow the 15,000 taels of silver from Jincheng Bank in the name of His Royal Highness Ye Wang? What did you do with the money?"

Madam Xu choked up and laughed, "Haha, so what if I borrowed it in the name of the prince?"

"You want to know, but I won't tell you. If you have the ability, go check it yourself!"

"Do you think this princess can't find out?" Ji Yuntang narrowed his eyes and spoke in a voice as sharp as ice and jade. "Prince Ye regards you as his savior and treats you well. Ask yourself, has he treated you and your daughter unfairly in the past few years?"

"He has been paralyzed in bed for three years. The Night Palace has become your world, mother and daughter. Even so, you two are still not satisfied. How many taels of silver did you get from the supplements and medicinal herbs that the Queen sent to Ah He every month over the past three years?"

"There is also Ah He's monthly allowance and salary. His monthly salary is two thousand taels of silver, plus the allowance, a total of three thousand taels, but there are only less than five hundred taels in the account of the Ye Palace. This princess wants to ask you, where did all this money go?"

Nanny Xu was shocked all over and looked at Ji Yuntang in disbelief with her tear-swollen eyes.

How did she know these things?

She took advantage of the fact that Luo Junhe was paralyzed in bed and had no confidants around him, so she had the courage to embezzle those things as if it was her right.

But Ji Yuntang, why did he suddenly know so much about this matter?

The death of Liu Linlang was still vivid in her mind. Last night, she fell into Aunt Xu's arms and vomited blood for half the night until there was no more blood left in her body.

This way of dying is truly cruel.

Nanny Xu suddenly realized that the reason Ji Yuntang was forcing her to confess was because he wanted to kill her.

She didn't want to die. She hadn't left the Night Palace yet, and she hadn't avenged Liu Linlang yet. She couldn't die yet.

Aunt Xu’s face turned pale and her lips began to tremble. She struggled to get up from the ground and rushed out the door.

"Lord Ye, I want to see you. I am his savior. He said he would support me all my life and take care of me until the end of my life."

"You have no right to question me. I want to see the prince. Let me go see the prince!"

Nanny Xu's voice was sharp and hoarse. She knew very well that Ji Yuntang was a heartless woman. The only one who could save her now was Luo Junhe.

She was his savior, and if she went over to beg for mercy and say some good words, maybe she could save her life.

There was no way Ji Yuntang would let her go out, so she closed the door of the woodshed.

Nanny Xu rushed over and was just one step away from getting out, but the door was slammed shut at that moment. She hit her head against the door and her head was buzzing.

"Do you still want to see the prince? Do you think the prince will still be soft-hearted?"

Ji Yuntang raised the corner of his mouth in disdain, "If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. If you work quietly in the Ye Palace, the prince will naturally keep his promise, help you live out your life in peace, and find a good man for your daughter to marry. But what about you? What have you done in the palace?"

"Before this princess came, the prince slept on a bed mixed with feces and urine, wore dirty and worn-out clothes, and ate leftovers that the servants wouldn't eat. It's fine if you don't take care of him, but you don't arrange for others to take care of him. Is this the attitude of your housekeeper?"

"It's fine if you can fool Luo Sinian, that fool, but if you want to fool this princess, let's see how many lives you have first."

Ji Yuntang's words hit Aunt Xu's heart hard. She lost all her strength and fell limply to the ground, staring at the ceiling with a pair of empty eyes.

Only at this moment did she realize that Luo Junhe was her only strong support in the Yewang Mansion.

If they, mother and daughter, want to live a good life, they have to hold him tightly and rely on him.

But in recent years, after Luo Junhe became a disabled person after coming down from the battlefield, she lost her energy.

Aunt Xu felt from the bottom of her heart that Luo Junhe could no longer help her and that she had to fight for what she wanted on her own.

So, he became more and more aggressive, with no bottom line left in his body, and ended up being what he is today.

Now, it's too late to say anything.

Aunt Xu burst into tears, "Please kill me, please kill me, I am ashamed of my Lord and the Night Palace."

Seeing that Aunt Xu had relaxed her guard, Ji Yuntang stuffed a black pill directly into her mouth.

"Want to die? It's not that easy!"

Ji Yuntang took out a pendant from the space, placed it in front of her eyes, and slowly shook it.

The truth pill melted in her mouth, and Aunt Xu's eyes began to unfocus.

"Tell me, where did you spend the 15,000 taels of silver you borrowed from Jincheng Bank, the prince's monthly salary, and the money you earned from reselling medicinal herbs?"

Aunt Xu answered unconsciously: "I used the money from the loan and the money from selling the herbs to buy a big house in Baili Lane in the capital. I plan to move out with Linlang after the prince dies, and then find her a rich husband to marry."

Ji Yuntang asked again, "Where is the prince's monthly salary? Where did you spend it?"

"Two years ago, I bought a shop on Baihu Street that was about to go bankrupt. I used the prince's monthly salary to open a grocery store called Craftsmanship Shop. However, I have been losing money in the past two years and cannot sell it even if I want to resell it."

Ji Yuntang narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew the Craftsmanship Shop. She often passed by there when she went to Fanghuaxuan to buy ready-made clothes.

Unexpectedly, the shop was opened by Nanny Xu using Luo Junhe’s money?

"Besides the house and the craftsmanship shop, what else did you do outside with the money from the Night Palace?"

"No, I only have these two businesses privately."

Under the control of hypnosis and truth pills, Aunt Xu told everything she knew.
