Following the route remembered by the original owner, Xie Yuantang took Situ Yan around the woodshed and went all the way back to the main hall from the garden.

"Daddy, Eunuch Qu, my husband and I are back!"

Xie Yuantang came in bouncing, his bangs half blown up by the wind, revealing a forehead with several whip marks.

Her big eyes are black and lively, like the most dazzling black gems.

Seeing that both of them were safe and sound, Eunuch Qu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're back. It's getting late, and we should go back..."

"Where's Yumo?"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Zhaoqing suddenly spoke, and Wei Lian on the side also looked at Xie Yuantang nervously.

"Didn't you go out with Yumo? Why didn't she come back with you?"

"what?"

Xie Yuantang showed an appropriate surprise, tilted his head and looked at Xie Zhaoqing: "She didn't come back? Just now my sister locked my husband and me in the woodshed and left. My husband and I finally ran out, and I thought she had come back a long time ago."

"what?"

Qu Pei frowned immediately: "Xie Yumo locked you up in the woodshed?"

"Well, she is very bad and tricked us into coming in." Situ Yan nodded heavily.

Qu Pei's face suddenly darkened: "Thank you, Prime Minister. You must give us an explanation for this matter, otherwise we will report it to His Majesty."

"Please calm down, eunuch. I will investigate this matter thoroughly, but the first thing we should do now is to find Yumo."

As soon as Xie Zhaoqing finished speaking, Wei Lian's face suddenly changed.

"The woodshed, the woodshed...Oh my God! My Yumo!"

She ran to the woodshed as soon as she could. Seeing her panic-stricken look, Xie Zhaoqing followed her with his eyes drooping.

“This…” Qu Pei frowned, and Xie Yuantang urged him with a smile, “Grandpa, Grandpa, let’s go and take a look.”

Qu Pei glanced at the calm Xie Yuantang and the strange-looking Situ Yan, thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, let's go."

He was somewhat curious about what they had done.

At the door of the woodshed, when Xie Zhaoqing and others arrived, they saw Xie Yumo sitting on the floor of the woodshed screaming.

There are toads all over my body and legs, crawling around, it's so disgusting!

"Yumo!" Xie Zhaoqing was stunned.

When he called out, Xie Yumo turned around. Her face was covered in blood. Her forehead and eyebrows were broken in several places, and blood was flowing down her nose.

It looks just like the tear of blood shed by the original lord.

"Dad, Dad, save me!"

Xie Yumo started to run out crying, but just as she stood up, she stepped on a toad and fell back.

Xie Yuantang reminded her at the right time: "Ah! Sister, what are you holding in your hand?"

In hand?

Xie Yumo subconsciously lowered her head and grabbed the things in her hand.

A terrifying-looking, blood-stained skull moved "cracking" on her palm.

After just one look, Xie Yumo's pupils almost dilated!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Ghost ah ah!!!"

Xie Yumo howled at the top of her lungs, desperately threw Zero away, and crawled out of the woodshed, rolling.

"Dad, save me! Dad, there's a ghost!"

"Yumo, Yumo, how are you?"

Wei Lian ran over and hugged Xie Yumo distressedly: "Why is your face like this? Come quickly, bring some medicine!"

"What exactly is going on?"

Xie Zhaoqing looked at Xie Yuantang angrily: "Didn't you come here together? How did it become like this?"

"how could I know?"

Xie Yuantang spread his hands, the tassels on his head swaying playfully sparkling in the sun: "Dad, my sister brought me to this place, and I left a long time ago~"

Xie Yumo was very strong in spirit. Even after being tortured like this, she didn't faint.

Listening to the conversation between Xie Zhaoqing and Xie Yuantang, she came back to her senses, pointed at Xie Yuantang with a ferocious face and cursed: "It's you! Little bitch, you are the one who hurt me!"

Xie Yuantang's eyes darkened, and he asked coldly, "Who are you scolding?"

"I'm scolding you! Bitch! You're just like your mother..."

"Crack! Crack!"

Before Xie Yumo could finish her words, Xie Yuantang picked up a branch beside him and hit her in the face.

Quick and clean, skinning until blood is seen!

"what!"

Xie Yumo cried out in pain, covered her face and glared at Xie Yuantang: "You dare to hit me?"

"What a joke! I am the consort of a royal prince, why can't I beat up an adopted daughter of your Xie family?"

Xie Yuantang snorted coldly, threw away the branch and said, "If you dare to curse me again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"you you……"

Xie Yumo wanted to curse again, but when she was glanced at by Xie Yuantang's frosty cold eyes, she subconsciously dared not to speak again.

"Princess, I know you are of noble status, but even you cannot treat Yu Mo like this!"

Wei Lian sounded like a green tea bitch as soon as she opened her mouth.

Her face was covered with tears, but she did not forget to look up at a 45-degree angle to reveal her most innocent and perfect profile: "Yumo wanted to be friends with you, so she took the trouble to prepare the gift belt. How could you trick her into the woodshed and scare her with this kind of thing?"

"She's young. If she gets scared and something happens to her, will you be responsible? How can you... be so cruel!"

Xie Yuantang almost applauded her when he heard this.

With such ability to confuse right and wrong, no wonder she became the only concubine of Xie Zhaoqing.

Xie Zhaoqing said gloomily: "Yuan Tang, do you admit your guilt?"

This time, before Xie Yuantang could retort, Qu Pei spoke up: "Prime Minister Xie, have you already concluded that it is the princess' fault before you have even asked about the matter clearly?"

"You know, it was Xie Yumo who insisted on bringing the princess out, and we didn't bring the things in that room with us when we came."

"The emperor specifically ordered a generous gift for this return visit. Could it be that the prime minister also suspects that the emperor deliberately put a toad in the gift?"

Xie Zhaoqing's face changed slightly, and he said quickly: "Of course I dare not doubt Your Majesty, but this matter..."

"She brought us here."

Situ Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pointed at Xie Yumo, then at a few servants in the crowd and said, "They saw it too. You can ask them."

Qu Pei immediately looked at those people and said, "Did you hear what His Highness said? Tell the truth. If you conceal anything, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor!"

"I dare not..."

When the servants heard this, they knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Yes...it was the Second Miss who brought the Crown Princess and His Highness here."

"She also asked us to hide the toad in the house in advance, in order to scare the princess..."

"Later, she opened the door and went in. The princess was indeed not inside..."

How could the servants dare to deceive the emperor? They immediately told the truth.

Wei Lian shouted "shut up" several times but no one paid any attention to her. She was so angry that she grabbed a black pottery jar and threw it at the servants: "Shut up!"

"Crack!"

The black pottery jar cracked in the air, and an earthworm as long as an index finger crawled out of it and flew into Wei Lian's wide-open throat with a "whoosh"!

"Ugh! Cough cough cough cough..."

Wei Lian pinched her throat and tried to pick the earthworm out, but the earthworm was very slippery and slipped into her throat in an instant.

Wei Lian's face turned pale immediately.

"Save, save..."

She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Everyone was shocked.

Wei Lian, speechless!
