After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Moreover, she was just a concubine, not the mistress of the house.

Not only her maid, but even her own life and death were beyond her control.

How can she protect the people she cares about and live happily?

Shen Yunjin's eyes turned red after he figured it out.

Lady An looked at Shen Yunjin, who was kneeling on the ground with red eyes, and felt that she had finally vented her anger.

"Princess, the person has fainted!"

"Splash cold water on him to wake him up and continue fighting!"

Ning Ruyan's cold words pierced Shen Yunjin's heart.

It was all because of her not listening to advice that Yuzhi got involved!

She got up and ran out, lying on Yuzhi's body.

"Concubine Shen, it's not your turn yet. Someone, pull Concubine Shen aside!"

Upon hearing Ning Ruyan's order, several servants came over immediately.

Shen Yunjin held on to the bench tightly, preventing the woman from pulling him away.

She knew that if she was taken away, Jinzhi would definitely die.

Ning Ruyan saw that several people pulled it several times but failed to open it.

"Since Concubine Shen and her servant have a deep affection for each other, I will help you. Beat her, beat her hard! Beat her until she tells me who her mistress is!"

"Snap! Snap! Snap!" the stick hit down.

Shen Yunjin gritted his teeth and refused to beg for mercy.

In the yard, the only sound was the sound of sticks hitting bodies.

An Meiren was feeling very proud, and felt that the pain in her buttocks had healed by a lot.

It hurts, it really hurts!

Shen Yunjin felt that he had lost all feeling below his waist.

Her consciousness began to become blurry.

"Concubine Shen, why don't you tell me quickly, who did you go to see when you left the house?"

Nanny Zhao signaled the servant to stop.

Shen Yunjin opened his eyes with difficulty, trying to identify the person in front of him.

"I have not cheated on you, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, Shen Yunjin couldn't bear it anymore and fainted completely.

"What are you doing!" At this time, Xiao Minshen's angry shout came from outside the door.

"This old servant greets His Majesty. Concubine Shen went out of the palace for a secret meeting and was caught. She is being interrogated!"

Nanny Zhao knelt down hurriedly and replied.

"Then have you figured out who the man who cheated on me is?"

Xiao Minshen's voice, like the devil from hell, made Madam Zhao tremble uncontrollably.

Several people in the house who heard the noise also hurried out.

"The prince is back? Has he sent the other ministers back?"

Ning Ruyan asked Xiao Minshen intimately.

It turned out that she had been planning to go to the palace today to see when Xiao Minshen and the others would be able to return home.

Halfway through the journey, he bumped into Xiao Minshen.

When Xiao Minshen saw her, he smiled at her, which was rare, and explained to her in a gentle tone.

Their work had come to an end because everyone had been locked up in the palace for more than ten days and several older ministers were in very weak health.

He would escort several elderly ministers back home before returning home.

He asked Ning Ruyan to go back home and wait.

As soon as Ning Ruyan returned home, Concubine Shu came to complain, saying that Concubine Shen had left the house without permission.

She still didn't believe it, so she asked Madam Zhao to take people to Mingyuexuan.

When Nanny Zhao came back, she found out that Shen Yunjin was indeed not in the mansion.

Ning Ruyan ordered Nanny Zhao to take the ladder away and sent someone to guard nearby.

Only then was Shen Yunjin caught in the act.

Xiao Minshen frowned and ignored Ning Ruyan's words.

He kicked Nanny Zhao.

"I asked you a question. Did you find out who that man is?"

Ning Ruyan saw that Xiao Minshen cared so much about who that man was, and thought she could add fuel to the fire.

"The second young lady of the Honglu Temple's family has sent a letter requesting to see Concubine Shen."

"I have interrogated the maids at Mingyuexuan. Concubine Shen used to go to her house frequently. Could it be with one of her brothers?"

"Oh? So, the princess has got the evidence?" Xiao Minshen turned his head.

Ning Ruyan shuddered when she was stared at by Xiao Minshen's angry eyes.

She controlled her fear and said, "Yes, it was the maid in her room who said it. She can't be wrong!"

"My maid saw Concubine Shen climb over the wall and leave the house with her own eyes." Concubine Shu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke.

"Your maid didn't stay in your yard, so why did she go to Mingyue Pavilion?"

Xiao Minshen walked up to Lady Shu, lifted her chin with his hand, and looked straight into her eyes.

Shu Meiren felt as if she had fallen into an ice hole, and her upper and lower teeth began to chatter.

"Can't you tell me? Fulu, bring the maid she mentioned here and let me beat her until she tells me the reason!"

Xiao Minshen turned around and sat on the chair that Fulu brought. He was tired.

I spent more than ten days in the palace. Although there were people serving me when I ate and slept, my nerves were even more tense.

Everyone knew that the task was heavy and no one dared to complain.

Although Xiao Minshen did not give any questions, he still had to do a lot of chores.

He originally planned to come back and have a good rest, but he saw his princess and concubines torturing each other.

The guards' method of beating people is different from that of the people in the inner courtyard.

After just a few hits, his skin started to tear.

The little maid cried out and confessed.

"It was Lady Shu who asked me to keep an eye on Mingyuexuan, saying that she would give me ten taels of silver after the matter was completed."

Lady Shu suddenly collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"Tell me, why are you staring at Mingyuexuan? You want to overthrow the concubine so much, do you want to take her place?"

"I don't dare to have any delusions! It's because Concubine Shen had someone beat Lady An a few days ago. I was so angry that I thought of sending someone to keep an eye on her."

"So, this is related to Lady An? Come, tell me why Concubine Shen hit you?"

Xiao Minshen waved at Lady An.

Lady An crawled a few steps and moved over.

"I was admiring the flowers in the garden with Concubine Shu, so I invited Concubine Shen to join us. Because I accidentally pulled Concubine Shen's injured hand, she punished me!"

"Anything else? Think it over carefully. I will only give you one chance!"

"Your concubine, your concubine is speaking," Lady An looked at the bloody maidservant beside her, and she felt her buttocks beginning to hurt.

"I said something wrong, Concubine Shen should teach me a lesson! It is Concubine Shu who holds a grudge against Concubine Shen, and it has nothing to do with me."

When Concubine Shu heard Concubine An's words, she was stunned. She didn't expect Concubine An to turn against her.

"Oh? ~" Xiao Minshen was also a little surprised.

"Then tell me, what did you say that would make Concubine Shen punish you?"

"I said that I am the prince's person. Concubine Shen looks down on me, which means she looks down on the prince."

Lady An suddenly felt cold and she quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I already know I was wrong! The princess has already punished me, please spare my life, Your Majesty!"

"It seems that my princess has taken good care of the backyard!"

Xiao Minshen turned around and looked at Ning Ruyan who was kneeling beside him.

"This is what I should do." Ning Ruyan replied in a flat tone.

"What should be done? What the princess means by what should be done is to punish the concubine? What she means by what should be done is to find out the man who cheated on me?"

Xiao Minshen pressed on with question after question, each question becoming angrier than the last!
