Nan Xing listened to the curses behind her, and the last bit of warmth in her heart disappeared, leaving only a chill. "Since sister has no intention of repenting, Nan Xing can do nothing about it. I just hope that sister will remember that Nan Xing will always be Nan Xing of Linglong Palace and Nan Xing of Concubine Zhaoyi."
"Sister, you should decide for yourself who your master is."
"Whether your master is worth your life is up to you to decide."
After saying that, Nanxing turned around and went back to the house without caring about how the people behind him were wailing and cursing.
Su Minglang raised his hand and poured her a cup of tea. The tea in the pot was a little cold. Nanxing held the teapot and drank it all in one gulp, "Master..."
"I heard everything," Su Minglang frowned slightly, "Although Concubine Li's methods are cruel and despicable, I didn't expect her subordinates to be so loyal."
Nan Xing was about to speak but stopped herself. She stretched out her hand to grab the teapot, but Su Minglang held her hand down. "If you have something to say, just say it. What are you afraid of in front of me?"
"I..." Nan Xing paused, her heart churning, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I was just wondering if Concubine Li was using Jasmine's family as a threat?"
"Oh, how come you see it?"
"Because, because Mudan threatened me with this." Nanxing suddenly realized what she had said, and fearing that Su Minglang might misunderstand her, she hurriedly said, "But, but I am not afraid, because I have no family left."
"No family?" Su Minglang frowned. "But I have seen your household registration information. Not only do you have parents, but you also have brothers and sisters, right?"
Su Minglang spoke calmly about investigating people's backgrounds.
Nan Xing was stunned for a moment, and obviously realized this, and said with a wry smile: "I am guilty, the household registration information is false."
"Fake?" Now it was Su Minglang who was stunned. She didn't know that someone would be so bold as to fake something like this. "Tell me in detail."
"Yes, it is like this, Madam. When I was young, my family suffered a natural disaster and was almost at the point of exchanging children for food. At that time, someone came to collect people, and specifically picked some half-grown boys and girls. It was at that time that I was sold to the human trafficker."
"Those traffickers bought people, picked out the good-looking ones and sent them to brothels, and sold the unattractive ones to various households. At that time, I was pale and skinny, so I escaped the disaster. It happened that the palace was recruiting people at that time, so those guys set their sights on us."
"I don't know how they bribed the eunuchs who checked the household registration, but they forged household registration for us and sold us in. After all, it's much more valuable to sell us into the palace than to ordinary families."
"At first they threatened us to give them our monthly salary, but later one of our sisters threatened us that they had falsified our household registration, and they finally gave up."
"Later, I ended up in Concubine Li's palace, so the people she found must be the families on my fake household registration. Those families were all connected to human traffickers, so their death can be considered as getting rid of misfortune for others." Nan Xing said without defending herself, and lowered her head, waiting for Su Minglang's decision.
"What about your previous family? Those people just wanted to get a first-hand deal, so they naturally wouldn't be very thorough. With just a little investigation, they can find out that your household registration is fake. It shouldn't be difficult to find your biological parents."
Nan Xing's expression turned cold, and her voice became indifferent: "Since I have been sold, it has nothing to do with them. As for whether someone will come looking for them, it is not something I can control. If they are really implicated because of my affairs, it is their own fault!"
Nanxing was obviously still indignant about being sold when she was young. Su Minglang knew that selling her might be the best option at the time. On the one hand, it could provide her with a way to survive, and on the other hand, he could earn some money to make a living. As for those who were innocent or not, they had to stand aside before their lives.
Su Minglang's words of comfort rolled around her lips, but she swallowed them. She thought about it and realized that if it were her, it would be hard for her not to feel resentful. Anyway, there would be no chance to see him again in the future, so she could just hate him if she wanted to.
"There's no need to make yourself unhappy about the past." With a lot of things to say, this was the only thing left to say.
Nan Xing shook her head upon hearing this. "Master, I have already forgotten about them. I just feel a little angry when I mention them occasionally. Anyway, I have lived to this day. Let the past be the past. We will not meet again in the future."
"Yeah." Su Minglang saw that she had thought clearly and said no more. He nodded and pushed the teapot to her, "The water in the pot is cold. Don't drink too much cold tea."
"Your Highness!" As she spoke, the execution outside the door had been completed. The guards who were carrying out the caning came to the door to report the progress. "The caning is complete. What do you think we should do?"
"Another thirty." Su Minglang fiddled with the decorations in the room, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
The guard outside the door received the order and walked back with the stick in his hand. "Miss, please bear with it. The queen has ordered another thirty." After saying that, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms, rubbed it, and was about to stuff it into Jasmine's mouth.
Jasmine watched the guards getting closer and closer, and her inner defenses finally collapsed. She shouted in fear, "My queen, I confess, please spare my life, my queen!"
The guard paused after hearing what she said. Seeing that the person in the room still didn't respond, he stuffed the cloth inside and said, "Do it!"
There was another crackling sound in the house, but this time there was no sound of people wailing.
Adding these thirty strokes of the cane would make up for the ninety strokes, and yet the woman's life had to be saved. The guards were afraid that she would bite her tongue and commit suicide, and then he would be the one to suffer. However, the board was wide and heavy, and each blow would hurt her flesh. It was a big challenge for them to make her feel the real pain after the ninety strokes of the cane and still save her life.
"Master, if we continue fighting, won't we kill each other?" Nanxing obviously had the same concern.
"What are you afraid of? These guards have been trained for a long time. How can they kill people easily? Just wait. After these thirty strokes, I will know everything I want to know."
"But isn't she going to recruit already?"
"Hehe, do I have to listen to her when she says she wants to recruit me? What does she think this place is? A Buddhist temple?" Su Minglang laughed, with murderous intent in his eyes.
"I have already given her a chance. If I want her to have a second chance, she will have to pay a price!"
Nan Xing swallowed his saliva, and silently sprinkled a handful of dirt for Jasmine in his heart, "It turns out that you can offend anyone but not a woman!"
"What are you mumbling about!" Su Minglang glanced at her dangerously.
Nan Xing was startled and suddenly picked up the teapot, "Master, I will go make some tea. That, that cold tea cannot be drunk, yes! It cannot be drunk!"
