After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

But before Cao Xiaowen could get close to Princess Rui, she was forcibly dragged to the side by two maids.

"Slap her in the face!" Princess Rui said angrily with a gloomy face, "If she can't speak, slap her in the face until she can speak!"

Just from Cao Xiaowen's words, one can infer how the Cao family usually does not take the Prince Rui's Mansion seriously, and how they treat the Prince Rui's Mansion as their own.

"Clap clap clap!"

One maid controlled Cao Xiaowen, while another maid slapped her hard in the face.

After just a few slaps, Cao Xiaowen's face became red and swollen.

But she cursed, "You old hag, how dare you do this to me? I will make sure you die!"

"Ah! Cousin, it hurts, it really hurts!"

Princess Rui ignored him and looked at Cui Sheng, "Master Cui, please continue the interrogation and conduct it properly."

Cui Sheng accepted the order and waved his hand, saying, "Punish them all severely!"

"This country belongs to Zheng, not Cao!"

"The Cao family dared to commit acts tantamount to treason and must bear the consequences."

Many members of the Cao family were struck by lightning and begged for mercy cryingly.

"Master Cui, this is none of our business. It's really none of our business. This is all done by the old lady and the first wife. They covet everything in the Rui Palace and want to own it."

"Please spare our lives, Master Cui. We have absolutely no intention of treason."

Madam Cao and Mrs. Du were in pain, and when they heard Cui Sheng's words, their heads were buzzing.

The fear of death made the two of them "wake up" for the first time.

Yes, this country belongs to Zheng, not Cao.

The Prince Rui's Mansion is a member of the royal family, and Prince Rui is the emperor's most beloved brother. They cannot treat the Prince Rui's Mansion however they want.

The people in the first house all distanced themselves from the matter.

"It has nothing to do with our eldest wife. It was done by the old lady and mother. They are the ones who are delusionally trying to take over everything in the Rui Palace."

"It was the old lady and my mother who taught Cao Xiaowen that she was the future wife of Prince Zheng and the future mistress of Prince Rui's mansion. Everything in Prince Rui's mansion belonged to her, and she was told to act very proudly."

"Master Cui, if you want to torture them, then do it to them. It has nothing to do with our eldest wife."

However, no matter how the Cao family begged for mercy and shirked responsibility, they were all tied up and tortured by the jailers.

Needle pricks, branding, flogging...all kinds of punishments were used.

The prison was filled with the Cao family’s tragic cries and pleas for mercy.

Mixed in with them were insults to Madam Cao and Mrs. Du.

"It's all your fault, old man! You were living a good life, but you actually dared to covet the Rui Palace. You've ruined our whole family!"

"Du, you are a natural, if I were alive, I would definitely kill you!"

Madam Cao and Mrs. Du, who had just been tortured, almost fainted when they saw the people being tortured.

At this moment, the two of them truly felt scared and regretful.

They had lived too comfortably these years and gradually developed thoughts that they shouldn't have. They treated the Prince Rui's Mansion as their own and even dared to place themselves above the Prince Rui's Mansion.

"Princess Rui, Princess Rui," Madam Cao called out weakly, "I'm your mother. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

She hasn't lived enough and doesn't want to die.

Mrs. Du wanted to beg for mercy, but because her tongue had been tortured, she could not utter a word and could only make a whimpering sound.

Princess Rui looked at Madam Cao and Madam Du with cold eyes, "Madam Cao, I have given you and the Cao family many chances, but unfortunately you didn't cherish them."

"No, not only did you not cherish it, you even made it worse."

"Cao Xiaowen is a four-year-old child. How dare she say such words to me and the prince? It's you and Madam Du who taught her that."

Madam Cao felt even more regretful and began to resent Madam Du. "No, listen to me, it was Madam Du who instigated discord..."

"If you didn't have this intention, could she succeed in sowing discord?" Princess Rui interrupted her coldly.

"You dare to set your sights on the royal family and even dare to place yourself above them. You must bear the consequences."

After saying this, she signaled Cui Sheng to torture Madam Cao and Mrs. Du.

Next, Madam Cao and Mrs. Du were tortured one after another.

The two of them realized how stupid and arrogant they had been before.

Princess Rui will not sympathize with anyone in the Cao family. Over the years, the Cao family has taken advantage of her and the Rui Palace and enjoyed too many benefits.

Now, it's the Cao family's turn to repay.

"Master Cui, please spare Cao Xiaowen's life and throw her out of the Ministry of Justice prison afterwards."

She doesn't mean well.

Cui Sheng also understood that Princess Rui was not being kind, but was torturing him even more painfully.

A little girl who is only four years old and has been pampered and held in high esteem since childhood, after losing the protection of her family, what awaits her will be endless torture and pain.

"Yes."

He had no sympathy for Cao Xiaowen at all. The fact that such a young child could say such arrogant and vicious words showed that he was bad to the core.

Princess Rui looked at the Cao family members being tortured for a while, then left the Ministry of Justice prison with her maid and took a carriage back to Prince Rui's Mansion.

As soon as she returned to the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, a constable from the Ministry of Justice arrived.

"Greetings, Princess Rui." The constable bowed and said respectfully.

"Madam Cao, Madam Du and several other female members of the Cao family are no longer alive, and some members of the Cao family are no longer able to hold on."

What the lord meant was that Princess Rui must be informed of this matter.

If anything happens, Princess Rui cannot be blamed, after all, it was she who requested the severe punishment.

Princess Rui probably guessed the reason why Cui Sheng sent someone here, and nodded calmly, "If he's dead, just throw the body into a mass grave."

All her family affection and humanity towards the Cao family were worn away by their repeated actions.

This is also the reason why she was unwilling to collect the bodies of the Cao family.

After getting the approval, the constable left.

Princess Rui looked up at the dark sky, sighed, and returned to Prince Rui's Mansion.

From now on, there will be no more Cao family.

That night, many members of the Cao family had already learned that all the members of the Cao family had been arrested and imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, and that many people had died.

Not only did no family sympathize with the Cao family, but they all thought that the Cao family had brought it upon themselves.

No one dares to override the Prince Rui's Mansion except the emperor, the prince and the queen.

But the Cao family dared to speak out and say that they wanted to kill Prince Rui and his wife.

A very small number of people received different news from it.

"Prince Rui's Mansion didn't deal with the Cao family earlier, and didn't deal with the Cao family later, but chose to deal with the Cao family just after Prince Zheng returned. This is intriguing."

"I'm afraid that something happened to Prince Zheng outside, which aroused the Cao family's dissatisfaction and the desire to harm others, which led to the Rui Palace taking action."

"Investigate what happened to Prince Zheng outside. Investigate every detail."

"Check whether Prince Zheng brought anyone with him when he returned, and whether he had any contact with anyone recently."
