Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

The man on the rack spat out a mouthful of blood and did not answer.

The barbed whip was swung again, and screams echoed throughout the dungeon...

Qin Yu, who was also tied up, had fainted countless times and was awakened again and again by being splashed with salt water.

In front of the rack, a man was half leaning on the armchair in a casual and lazy manner.

In the dim candlelight, the eyelashes under the half-closed peach blossom eyes were black, and the bony hands were tapping the chair inadvertently.

It's a tough nut to crack.

Lord Ling was indeed good at controlling his subordinates. When they arrived at the Jinyiwei dungeon and used all kinds of torture instruments, they still couldn't open their mouths.

Xu Yuan hurriedly walked up to him from outside the prison and whispered something in his ear.

He suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure?"

Xu Yuan nodded and replied, "Confirmed. The person sent out to keep an eye on her reported back that he saw her go in, and she hasn't come out yet."

Lu Jinan narrowed his eyes and asked, "Maybe close?"

"The people we sent cannot get close. There are experts hiding in the dark around the yard." Xu Yuan pulled the corner of his mouth and forced himself to say.

As a veteran Jinyiwei, it was a humiliation for him to say such words.

Lu Jinan pondered for a moment and said, "Keep watching. I'll go meet him tomorrow."

"Yes, sir." Xu Yuan replied.

He stood up and walked to the rack, playing with the instruments of torture in his hands, and ordered with a gloomy face: "I want results before tomorrow." After that, he threw down what he was holding and turned to walk out.

Several people hurriedly replied: "Yes."

Xu Yuan pursed his lips at Chen Fei who was executing the sentence and asked, "You're pretty tough, huh?"

"This is the first time someone has been so stubborn after entering this dungeon." Chen Fei said helplessly.

Xu Yuan patted his shoulder and comforted him as he walked out: "It's okay, he's tough on the outside and tough on the inside. As long as he doesn't die, use the torture instruments that the adults prepared on him."

Chen Fei nodded silently behind him without saying anything.

Lu Jinan came out of the dungeon and went straight back to the study in the Lu Mansion.

He picked up a stack of paperweights casually placed on the table, pulled out a slightly old and yellowed piece of paper, and seemed to be thinking about something.

It seems that all the mysteries are in the Wu family...

It was already the hour of Xu when Jiang Luo brought Rendong back home.

The lights in the Duke's Mansion were also turned on one after another. The mistress of the first house fell ill, and Madam Jiang also had a stroke. The Duke's Mansion was unusually quiet in the past two days.

Jiang Zhou was busy inquiring about the Qin family, but after a day's work, he found out nothing except that his legs were almost broken from running.

After he returned home, he went to Fu'an Hall.

After an incense stick of time, he walked out of Fu'an Hall with a gloomy face, and turned around to leave the house.

In the main room of Fu'an Hall, Mother Qin was instructing the little maid to clean up the tea bowls that the old lady had just smashed in anger.

After Madam Jiang suffered a stroke, her temper became even weirder. It's only been a few days, and the tea sets in the house have been changed three times.

Now even the Duke was scolded away by the old lady.

The servants serving in Fu'an Hall were silent for a moment.

Just after dinner time, cries of begging for mercy were heard in Shaoguang Courtyard.

"Miss, I am innocent. I really did not steal your hairpin. Please spare my life..." the maid Xiao Cui screamed hoarsely.

She can't be kicked out of the house, she still has to support her sister!

"Yes, Miss, I really didn't steal the silver. Please spare my life." Another maid named Agate also begged for mercy.

Jiang Luo, who was sitting at the top, was not affected. He took the tea handed to him by Mother Wu with a smile and took a sip.

It’s time to finish what she had instructed Mingxu to do a few days ago.

Honeysuckle walked forward and slapped the two men in the face twice.

One of them slapped them, and they shut up.

Mingxu followed up with a rebuke, "The things were all found in your respective bags, and you're still quibbling. You think the young lady has a good temper and won't kill servants at will, right?"

Xiao Cui stared at Ming Xu angrily: "It's you, it must be you who framed us. You are now a popular person around the young lady, you must be taking revenge on us."

Then he pointed at Mingxu and said, "Miss, it's her. She must be taking revenge on us."

Agate also said indignantly: "It must be her. When she was still a little maid, we bullied her. She must be holding a grudge and taking this as revenge."

Jiang Luo didn't even look at them and just drank his tea.

They are just two little maids, not worth her attention.

Mingxu walked up to the two of them and said condescendingly, "Revenge you? Are you worthy? For stealing the master's property, it is not too much to kill you."

He also ordered the maid, "Seal their mouths tightly, don't let them disturb the masters in the mansion to rest, take them to the pawnbroker and sell them, and tell the pawnbroker to sell them as far away as possible."

The old women looked at each other, and seeing that Jiang Luo did not say anything to stop them, they hurriedly dragged the two away.

When Xiao Cui was dragged out by the old woman, she still begged for mercy loudly: "Miss, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please have mercy on me. I have a younger sister who is only a few years old at home and is all alone..." After a while, she fell silent.

Jiang Luo looked at Xiao Cui who was struggling... and waved to Mingxu.

She ordered: "I'll tell you something..."

After selling out the two of them, Rendong felt extremely happy.

When she and the young lady just returned home, they relied on their status as the lady's people and privately made trouble for the young lady, ordering them to do things as if they owed them something, and they looked reluctant.

At that time, she asked the lady why she didn't drive these people away, and the lady said there was no rush.

Here it comes...

Her young lady is getting more and more powerful!

After this incident, the status of the two maids, Rendong and Mingxu, in Shaoguang Courtyard became even higher.

The maids and servants in the courtyard were all afraid of danger and did not dare to act recklessly. They did not dare to neglect their master Jiang Luo.

Chunhuayuan, which had been deserted for a few days, welcomed someone in the quiet night.

The man was dressed in black with a black cloak on the outside. Just looking at his back, you could tell that he was different from Jiang Zhou. This man looked more like a military general, with a strong and upright figure, and extraordinary bravery.

He stood behind Qin, hesitating to move forward.

Today, Qin was wearing a moon-white brocade skirt with a waist-length tulle over it, and her hair was combed into a fairy bun. Her silver hairpins shone even brighter under the candlelight.

She smiled at the person in the bronze mirror and said, "You're here."

The person behind her looked at her with a dazed look, nodded, and replied: "Yeah."

He walked forward and placed the red gold hairpin on the dressing table in front of Qin, but when he withdrew his hand, it was held by a pair of soft hands.

The man trembled, but did not pull his hand back, but let Qin hold it.

"You should know about the Qin family's affairs, right?" Qin asked, looking at him pitifully.

The man pursed his lips tightly, and spoke after a while: "I know, I have taken care of the prison, and no one in the Qin family was killed."

"Thank you." Qin said, stroking the hand.

She turned around, put her face on the hand, looked at the man in front of her and said softly: "Yun Lang, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years..."
