In Xiahou Mansion——

The interrogation ended within a stick of incense.

Qiao Yi quickly walked to Meng Yin and bowed, saying, "Madam, the interrogation has revealed the truth!"

The three of them raised their heads at the same time, and all of them had pale faces.

"The nun said that it was the young lady of the Qin family who asked her to put the note with Xia Houjing, and then hinted that it was Xia Houjing who did it."

Meng Yin frowned: "Ms. Qin's? Qin Hanlin?!"

Qiao Yi nodded: "That's right."

Meng Yin slammed the table, took off the flare from his waist and fired it into his mouth. With a bang, many people wearing the uniform of the Soul Devouring Hall flew down from behind the courtyard wall.

When everyone was almost there, Meng Yin shouted, "Go to Qin's house!"

"Yes!"

Meng Yin turned around, took a big sip of tea, and walked out with Xu Zheng and Tao Tao.

She gritted her teeth and looked at the hairpin in her hand. Qin Hanlin, she said that this hairpin looked familiar, she had seen it on her head before! I didn't expect that she was the one who wanted to harm Nian Nian!

Meng Yin immediately thought of something wrong. Qin Hanlin definitely didn't have the ability to kidnap Xia Nian on her own. There must be someone behind her!

When they arrived at the Qin Mansion, two servants outside came forward to ask them, but Meng Yin ignored them and pointed at the gate and said, "Leave some people to surround the Qin Mansion, and the rest of you go in!"

As soon as she finished speaking, many of her men flew in. The two servants were taken aside before they could react to what was happening. The door was opened from the inside and several people ran in quickly.

As soon as they entered, a man and a woman ran towards them. Judging from their ages, Meng Yin guessed that they were Qin Hanlin's parents and shouted again, "Catch them!"

Qin's father's eyes widened, and he pointed at Meng Yin and rushed forward, his mouth trembling behind his beard: "Who are you? What's the matter? Are you going to rob my Qin family?!"

Duan Yan flashed behind him and chopped him down to his knees with a single blow.

Qin's father cried out a few times, and Qin's mother hurried over to help him up, saying, "Who are you? Even if you want to arrest someone, you have to explain clearly!"

The two men were lifted up by their arms, and Qin's father scolded them, "I'm telling you, we are relatives of the Xiahou Mansion! If you dare to do this to us, wait..."

"In-laws?" Meng Yin raised an eyebrow. "Can you say that again?"

Father Qin said, "My daughter will marry into the Xiahou family in a few days! You'd better think it over! Otherwise, you will pay the price for it!"

Meng Yin stared at him intently, and immediately understood why Qin Hanlin did this. She actually wanted to marry Xia Houyu!

Father Qin felt frightened by her stare, but he held his head high, unwilling to be outdone.

With a slap, Duan Yan slapped him hard on the face.

She said angrily: "Who allowed you to treat our wife like this!"

Qin's father was stunned and didn't react for a long time. Meng Yin randomly found a servant to lead the way and walked towards Qin Hanlin's room.

Tao Tao caught up and said, "Qin Hanlin, she actually came up with such a trick in order to marry Xia Houyu!"

Meng Yin said in a deep voice: "She can't do this alone. There must be someone behind her. Let's catch her first."

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, it was already surrounded. The servant pointed tremblingly at the room in the middle. Xu Zheng rushed forward and kicked the door open.

Inside, Mo'er was supporting Qin Hanlin and walking to the door.

Meng Yin sneered and shouted, "Catch them!"

The two were forced to separate, and Moer shouted, "Let our lady go! What right do you have to arrest her?"

Meng Yin stepped forward, pinched Qin Hanlin's chin, and asked, "Where is Xia Nian!"

Qin Hanlin turned his head and said, "I don't know! Why are you asking me?"

Meng Yin didn't waste any time talking to her. He slapped her on the face twice and shouted, "Speak or not!"

Tao Tao came out from the inner room and said, "It smells like lotion in there!"

Qin Hanlin's eyes suddenly widened. Could she be talking about the box of body lotion Liang Qiuzhu gave her? Didn't she give it to the nun? Why is there still a smell?

Seeing Qin Hanlin's trembling lips and tears in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and refused to speak. Meng Yin grabbed her collar and nodded slightly: "You don't want to say it, right?"

She looked at Qiao Yi: "Qiao Yi, give her a poisonous insect that eats her internal organs. If she doesn't tell me, then she will be eaten bit by bit!"

Qiao Yi obeyed the order and captured Qin Hanlin to poison her with a poisonous insect.

The blood-red, twisted worm swayed in front of Qin Hanlin. She tried to step back, but was grabbed forcefully again. She could only watch the worm getting closer and closer to her.

Moer cried, "Stop it! We really don't know where she was sent! They arranged it... Please let our young lady go."

Meng Yin looked at her: "Are you sure?"

Mo'er was crying with tears in her eyes and nodded repeatedly.

Meng Yin said, "Qiao Yi, don't get off yet."

Qiao Yi withdrew his hand. Qin Hanlin was gasping for breath, his face pale.

"Tie her up!" Meng Yin said.

Qin Hanlin was dragged out, and she suddenly shouted: "Who do you think you are! If they weren't behind you, why would you arrest people without permission!"

Meng Yin looked at her leisurely, and said with a sinister smile: "There are not so many ifs in the world. I am relying on his power. So? Go to Gu Ling and yell! See how he will kill you!"

She approached, grabbed her chin, used great force, and said coldly: "Qin Hanlin, let me tell you, we didn't bother with you about the previous matter, but you still dare to come now. If Nian Nian had gotten rid of Xia Houjing, you could have lived a peaceful life, but you had to do this."

Qin Hanlin struggled, and she squeezed harder, "Do you think you did it right?" She took out the hairpin and compared it next to Qin Hanlin, "Is this thing familiar?"

"Just with a hairpin, you..." Qin Hanlin's eyes suddenly widened. Wasn't this hairpin the one she gave to the nun?

Qin Hanlin found out. They caught the nun and she confessed.

Meng Yin took back her hand: "Are you still going to quibble?"

Qin Hanlin said nothing, his lips slightly parted, his eyes staring blankly at the ground.

Meng Yin shouted, "Take them outside! The rest of the servants and maids in the Qin Mansion, watch them and don't let them leave the house!"

"Yes!"

When they got outside, Qin's father and mother saw Qin Hanlin being arrested, and they immediately understood what was going on. They knelt down and cried, "No, this has nothing to do with us. It's all my silly daughter's fault..."

Qin Hanlin looked at them in disbelief and murmured, "Dad... Mom, you..."

Meng Yin said with a click of the tongue: "Those with parents are not as good as us who don't have parents. Don't worry, no one will be left behind. We will interrogate them right here."

His men brought chairs and asked them to sit down.

Qin Hanlin and the other three were forced to kneel on the ground. Before Meng Yin could ask, Qin's mother suddenly cried and said, "It's all because of Hanlin's stupidity! She said she must marry Master Xiahou, and she wouldn't listen no matter how we tried to persuade her..."

Father Qin echoed, "Yes, she has not been with us since she was a child. I don't know how she became like this... We don't know what happened either. Miss, please be merciful and let us go back."

Mo'er cried, "Master and Madam, how could you do this? The young lady took the risk for the sake of the family and for you!"

Mother Qin said, "Shut up, you bitch! Do you have the right to speak here?"

Xu Zheng slapped the table and laughed out loud.

"Auntie, you are much more despicable than this girl. You are not even as humane as her." She said gritting her teeth.

Meng Yin said, "They are really not good-for-nothings. Qiao Yi, give these two old men a beating."

"Yes."

A long and wide board was brought up, and the two men trembled and begged for mercy, while the three watched coldly.

The two men were pressed to the ground, and the board hit their buttocks one after another, making them scream in pain.

The two of them sang the same tune, one accusing Qin Hanlin and the other defending himself.

"Hanlin, confess quickly! Do you want to watch your parents get beaten to death?"

"We didn't do it. We didn't even know about it!"

Unable to bear it any longer, he began to use the law to pressure Meng Yin.

"You executed the person privately. I will report you to the authorities!"

"If this gets out, you'll have to spend at least fifteen years in prison!"

Meng Yin smiled: "Okay, you ask those officials to come to the Soul Devouring Hall to find me. The prerequisite is that you have to get out alive."

The beating continued, and the two men were silent. Qin Hanlin stood by and watched the two people being beaten without saying a word.

Meng Yin waved her hand and the man beating the ball stopped. The two people below had already fainted.

Qin Hanlin raised his head, his face pale and his eyes dull: "I'll tell you everything."
