In Ningxiang Pavilion, the tortured Liu Xu fell to the ground dying.

She felt pain all over her body, but there was not a single scar.

This is a mansion where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind!

A dozen maids lined up in a row, holding plates with some delicate-looking yet creepy things in them.

Nanny Qian sat in a chair and took a sip of tea comfortably.

"Madam Liu, we've rested enough, shall we continue?"

As he spoke, he stood up slowly and walked back and forth in front of a row of maids, looking at a pile of torture instruments of various shapes and colors, and picked them up one by one.

Willow catkins shuddered instinctively.

"Madam Liu, you are so proud. This set of things is a family heirloom left by our ancestors when they founded the mansion. It's a pity that no one has enjoyed it for hundreds of years. You are the first person to do so!"

After that, he picked up a handful of silver needles as thin as cow hair and held them in his hand, saying viciously:

"This ox-hair needle, dipped in medicine, pierces the body like millions of ants gnawing, yet no trace of abnormality can be seen on the surface. Aunt Liu, you are blessed!"

After saying that, he smiled coldly and moved swiftly, piercing a handful of ox-hair silver needles into Liu Xu's back.

"what!"

Willow Catkins screamed in pain.

Before she could even move, several maids came forward and restrained her.

Nanny Qian picked out a few extremely long silver needles, pointed them at Liu Xu's fingers, and inserted them into the gaps between her nails.

"what!……"

Liu Xu was so painful that her face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared. She took a deep breath of cold air and screamed desperately.

"Pei Yan! Pei Yan! Where are you? I'm about to be killed by them. Where have you been?"

"Who are you yelling for in the middle of the night? Slap me in the face!"

Nanny Qian roared viciously.

Immediately, a nanny came with a ruler wrapped in a wet cloth and hit Liu Xu in the face.

Nanny Qian looked at Liu Xu's miserable condition and snorted coldly.

Still a tough nut to crack.

He has already gone through all thirty-six kinds of punishment, yet he can still scream.

"The Marquis' Mansion and the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion were to form a marriage. After the Third Young Master's wedding, he could have leveraged his Yue Family's influence to return to the Ministry of War. But you, on your wedding day, seduced the Third Young Master, causing him to be branded as a man who abandoned his wife. The Yong'an Marquis hated him so much that he was so angry that he revoked his candidate status."

"Madam Liu, you really know how to pick the right time!"

Nanny Qian had watched Pei Yan grow up and had a special affection for him. But Pei Yan's future was completely ruined by this woman in front of him, and she wished she could cut a few more pounds of her flesh off.

She couldn't do anything to her outside before.

Now that he's in her hands, isn't he going to be beaten to death?

And there is also the revenge for this slap!

"Bitch, I'll teach you the rules of a concubine!"

"Woo!! Woo!" Liu Xu struggled and squeaked.

The ruler was thin and tough, and was wrapped in a wet cloth. It didn't leave any marks when it hit his face, but the inside was already bloody and his mouth was in great pain!

Aunt Qian said:

"open."

"You old hag, you shall not die a good death! Pei Yan has always been respectful to me and never says a harsh word to me. How dare you, a servant, torture me privately! Aren't you afraid that Pei Yan will not forgive you when he comes back?" Liu Xu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Aunt Qian chuckled and said:

"Can't forgive me? Why don't you ask? I breastfed the Third Young Master and he considers me half his mother. Why do you expect him to not forgive me?"

"Hmph, I'm not afraid to tell you. The Third Young Master went to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion today to apologize. Although he returned early, he didn't even ask about you. He's staying peacefully with Concubine Ru now!"

"Aunt Ru?"

Liu Xu was stunned. When did Pei Yan have another concubine named Ru?

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. It's Ruyi! But now Ruyi is a concubine, and you are a lowly concubine. She is even higher than you!"

When Liu Xu heard this, she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

She said hatefully:

"I want to see the madam! I have something to say!"

"If you have anything to say, say it now."

Liu Xu took a few breaths of cold air and said while enduring the severe pain:

"Madam doesn't want me to stay in the mansion, and I don't want to stay here either. In that case, return Ping'er to me. I will leave the mansion now and never come back."

Willow catkins regretted it too late.

If I had known this would happen, I should have stuck to my original idea and never entered the Marquis' Mansion. It was all Pei Yan's fault. He had deceived me with his sweet words. Now he was back in the mansion, still the respected Third Young Master, while I had to endure insults and suffering here.

She just leaves!

"Want to leave? No way!"

Aunt Qian said viciously,

"Do you think the Marquis' Mansion is a place where you can come and go as you please? Once you've entered this door, if you want to leave again, you'll have to be carried out dead! And then there's Ping'er! He's the Third Young Master's child. Even if you die, don't even think about taking him away!"

"Still thinking of taking Ping Ge'er away! It seems that all the rules I've taught you are in vain. Everyone, please work hard tonight and teach me again!!"

……

"Mammy, why are you the one who coaxes me to sleep tonight? Where's mother?"

Xijieer asked with her rosy little face raised.

In the past, her mother would always coax her to sleep by telling her many stories, such as Little Red Riding Hood, The Big Bad Wolf, and The Princess Who Stole the Apple...

But today, after dinner, my mother was nowhere to be seen.

When she asked her brother, her brother tapped her on the head and asked her whether she liked her younger brother or younger sister.

What does this have to do with younger brothers and sisters?

Nanny Li fanned herself and kept her mouth shut all night, laughing:

"My lady, I have something important to do. My lady, do you like a brother or a sister?"

Xijie'er blinked her eyes.

Why did Nanny Li ask such a question?

If she were to say, of course she likes her sister.

In this way, she could make pigtails for her sister, dress her in pretty skirts, and give her nice accessories. There were so many pretty skirts in her closet and beautiful jewelry in her box that it was just right to share them with her sister.

Also, my mother is so beautiful and gentle, and the little sister she gives birth to must be just like her.

She likes her mother.

However, thinking about the situation in Qingshanyuan, she felt that her mother should give birth to a little brother.

With the little brother, my mother was able to gain a firm foothold in the Marquis's Mansion. From then on, no one dared to bully my mother again.

Nanny Li had no idea that Xijie'er was thinking about such complicated things. She smiled and fanned herself:

"It doesn't matter if it's a brother or a sister. As long as they're born to you, it's all good."

……

Qingshanyuan.

In the main room, Pei Heng looked at Su Li with guilt.

After all, he overestimated himself.

I thought that because I had been working so hard to eat and replenish nutrition these days, my body had recovered a lot.

But when the real fighting started, he couldn't even last half a round and was defeated.

His face flushed with embarrassment and he turned away in annoyance.

"what happened?"

Su Li turned his face over.

The matter was only halfway done, and she was already feeling very uncomfortable. But Pei Heng's hurt expression also made her feel distressed.

"I'm so useless. I can't even do this."

Pei Heng's eyelids drooped, not daring to look directly at Su Li.

Su Li lifted his chin, forced him to look into her eyes, and said:

"Who said you're useless? You've been lying in bed for three years. It's a miracle that you've recovered to this level in such a short time. I believe that in time, you will be as healthy as before. By then, I'm afraid I'll have to beg for mercy from you!"

"You..." Pei Heng was amused by Su Li, "Do you really believe me?"

"Of course!"

Su Li kissed Pei Heng on the lips.

"Who are you? You are the great general Pei Heng, the protector of the nation! Galloping across the battlefield, sword drawn, and a hero who strikes fear into the hearts of the enemy! Three years ago, I saw you riding out of the city on the long street, and I thought at that time, if I were to marry, I would marry Pei Lang!"

Su Li moved, leaned against Pei Heng and murmured:

"How many women in Shengjing City dreamed of marrying you, but I snatched you away. I wonder how many people are jealous and envious of you behind my back!!"

Pei Heng felt extremely happy as he felt Su Li's weight on him.

He lowered his head and kissed Su Li's smooth forehead, whispering:

"Ari, I, seem to be able to do it again."

Su Li was extremely surprised. How could this be possible?

But forget it!

He is a patient.

She suppressed her emotions, smiled, punched Pei Heng's chest, and said angrily:

"What's the point of saying it's okay? Even if it works again, hold it back! Have you forgotten that you're still sick?"

Although her body and mind were itching unbearably, Su Li was not a person who was dissatisfied with her desires. She also knew that with Pei Heng's physical condition, she could not force herself any further. Excessive indulgence would ultimately harm his body.

As she spoke, she suppressed her discomfort and snuggled into Pei Heng's arms.

Pei Heng sighed softly with pity and kissed Su Li's forehead.

They had to rub their ears together for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
