The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

In particular, Jiang Wantang had a vivid memory of Jiang Zhixu's expression when he saw her, as if he had seen a ghost.

All signs indicate that there must be something wrong with Jiang Zhixu now.

Jiang Wantang walked to the entrance of the dungeon with mixed feelings.

The guards at the gate knelt down and saluted when they saw her: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen!"

Jiang Wantang raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand.

At this time, Leng Xue had already come out to greet them. When she saw Jiang Wantang's gentle appearance, she was surprised for a moment: "Mother...Mother?"

Jiang Wantang nodded slightly and said calmly, "Is he still alive?"

Leng Xue came back to her senses instantly and said, "Yes, I'm very sober."

Jiang Wantang asked again: "Have you confessed?"

Leng Xue shook her head: "Jiang Zhixu would rather die than reveal a single word."

Jiang Wantang's lips curved into a slight arc, very subtle but full of sarcasm.

Would rather die than surrender is not the character of Jiang Zhixu now?

From another perspective, doesn't it mean that if some words are spoken, the consequences will be more terrible than death?

Jiang Wantang didn't say anything else and walked in.

But before going in, she covered her face with a white veil, revealing only a pair of sparkling peach blossom eyes.

Because, according to Granny Leng, her mother had always covered her face with a white veil since she destroyed her appearance, and this was especially true after she married Jiang Zhixu.

After that, he lived in the inner house for a long time and rarely went out.

After Jiang Wantang entered the dungeon, he did not go directly to find Jiang Zhixu, but ordered someone to take Qin to the torture room where the prisoners were interrogated.

She sat upright on a wooden chair in the torture room. The guards quickly dragged a disheveled and dirty-dressed woman in front of her.

Qin was sprawled on the ground in a panic, her hair disheveled and sticking to the damp ground. Her lips were purple from the cold, and she was shivering all over.

When she looked up and saw Jiang Wantang with her face covered in white gauze, her eyes widened instantly and she crawled back a few steps in panic until she reached the corner of the wall and had nowhere to retreat.

"You...you..." Qin looked at her with horror and trembling voice, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

Jiang Wantang did not answer, but stood up and walked step by step to Qin's front, slowly half-crouching in front of her so that she could not avoid it and could see more clearly.

At the first sight, Qin was so frightened that she covered her face with her hands, shouting, "It's not me! It's not me..."

"It's not my fault!"

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. If you want to find someone, go find the person who really hurt you!"

Jiang Wantang's eyes darkened, and he asked coldly, "Who is the one who really harmed me?"

Qin covered her face with her hands, hesitating and refusing to say anything.

Jiang Wantang had lost all his patience. He raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand away from her face and looking into her eyes.

Qin lowered her head in fear and shook her head in panic: "I don't know..."

"Ma'am, I really don't know!"

Jiang Wantang saw Qin's timid and cowardly look and thought that she didn't seem to know anything.

Otherwise, Jiang Zhixu would not keep her by his side.

Afterwards, Jiang Wantang raised her hand to remove the veil from her face. After seeing her face clearly, Qin's eyes suddenly lit up and she hurriedly crawled towards her. When she wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Wantang, she was kicked away by Leng Xue.

"How can you touch our Queen?" Leng Xue said disdainfully.

Qin looked at Jiang Wantang and said anxiously, "Tang'er, I am your biological mother!"

"You're here to save me, right?"

"Tang'er, I know you still care about me..."

"It was all my fault before. I will definitely change in the future. Tang'er, can you please save me?"

"Yes, and your sister He'er, she has been in poor health since her miscarriage. Take us out quickly and let the palace physician see her!"

"..."

Qin kept talking, and when she saw Jiang Wantang, her eyes were filled with eager anticipation.

As if, he still thought she was the easy-to-control Jiang Wantang from back then...

However, Jiang Wantang just sneered at her the whole time, his heart and eyes full of mockery.

She sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "Oh, biological child?"

"You deserve it!"

Qin paused, her pupils widened, and she looked at Jiang Wantang in surprise.

The latter's gaze on her was icy cold, without a trace of warmth or emotion.

Mrs. Jiang was not mentioned in Qin's confession, so Jiang Wantang asked her to come over just to test her out and verify the effectiveness of her outfit.

Seeing Qin's reaction at this moment, she was looking forward to what expression Jiang Zhixu would have next.

Jiang Wantang didn't bother to waste time arguing with Qin. She stood up, looked down at her, and said, "Qin, tell me everything you know about Jiang Zhixu and Madam Jiang, no matter how big or small."

Qin's expression froze when she heard this. She wanted to play dumb and say she didn't know.

However, Jiang Wantang saw through her trick at a glance.

"If you dare to lie even a word..."

As she spoke, she slowly walked to the torture rack, her slender fingers gently stroking the cold iron tools, and finally stopped at an exquisite silver dagger.

Jiang Wantang picked up the dagger and walked in front of Qin, sneering and warning, "I have a way to make you...lose your life."

The dagger slowly approached Qin's cheek, and the cold touch made her scream in fear, sharp and piercing.

"I'll tell you!" Qin said, trembling with fear.

"I said......"

"..."

Afterwards, in less than an incense stick of time, Jiang Wantang walked out of the torture room with a veil on her face and headed straight towards the water dungeon where Jiang Zhixu was.

Before leaving, she also took the silver dagger with her.

Qin really didn't know much. When Madam Jiang was still alive, she was just one of the concubines who had just entered the mansion, and she hadn't even seen her a few times.

Qin was the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family. She had been attracted to Jiang Zhixu since the day he passed the imperial examination and was paraded through the streets. She had pursued him many times and was even willing to become his concubine.

In the first few years, Jiang Zhixu always gave her a cold face when he saw her. He rejected her directly without any words and his disgust was obvious.

He was like this not only to her, but also to all the women in the capital who showed interest in him. So later on, everyone in the capital said that he and his first wife were deeply in love.

But later on, he began to take in several concubines, including Qin.

Qin said that since she entered the mansion, Madam Jiang had always locked herself in the courtyard, and no one except Jiang Huaizhou could enter her courtyard.

Jiang Zhixu simply told others that his wife was suffering from a serious illness and could not see anyone.

Less than a year later, Mrs. Jiang passed away...
