Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao nearly fainted. She hurriedly moved forward and pleaded, "Madam Zhuang, Madam Zhuang, do you think this is okay?" She was so panicked that she wanted to kneel down. "I'll give you all my money, and you can run away with it. Will you let us go? I'll give you all my money, as long as you let us go. I beg you, Madam Zhuang, I beg you. You've always been kind, you won't kill us, right? Madam Zhuang, tell me, as long as it can make you feel better, I'm willing to pay any amount. Just name the amount."

Madam Zhuang raised her foot and kicked her again, knocking her to the ground. "My son is gone, what good is all the money? Let you go? Dream on. I will make you pay for my son's life. I will kill you with my own hands, kill you, hahahahaha."

She looked a little crazy, crying and laughing, tears falling down her face.

Da Zhao was kicked in the heart by her, and her throat felt fishy and sweet, and she almost vomited blood.

Just as she was about to beg again, Wen Wanying rubbed her with her foot.

When she turned around, she saw Wen Wanying winking at her, indicating that she should look under her skirt.

Mrs. Zhao was suddenly surprised and lowered her head quickly, fearing that Madam Zhuang would discover the clue.

She almost forgot that the weather was getting colder and her daughter had recently started to like wearing cotton boots with a long and narrow pocket sewn on the outside of the boots. She always liked to put a delicate and small dagger in it, saying it was for self-defense.

Thank God, the mother and daughter were saved.

Thinking of this, she immediately pretended to be unable to support herself and fell on her daughter's boots.

The hand behind his back touched the boot, and sure enough, the dagger was there.

She shifted her position to make it easier to remove the dagger.

In order to prevent Aunt Zhuang from getting suspicious, she stared into Aunt Zhuang's eyes and continued to find something to say, "Aunt Zhuang, I have always felt guilty about your son's affairs. Really, you see how good I was to you later and how much I trusted you, right? I didn't even hide the death of your goddaughter, because in my heart, you are my only confidant. Aunt Zhuang, people have to look forward. I will give you all my money, and you can let us go and live your own good life..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Madam Zhuang. "How dare you talk about my goddaughter? Why did you kill her? Do you think I don't know? You said she stole things and eloped with someone, but you're talking nonsense. Isn't it because she heard you and your sister planning how to kill Shen Li, the eldest daughter of the Shen family? Isn't it because she heard you and your daughter discussing finding an assassin after sending Xiao Zhao away?"

"It was you who asked her to bring in the tea, and it was you who asked her to stand guard outside and not let anyone get close, and then you turned around and complained that she had heard something she shouldn't have. In fact, when you asked her to stand guard outside, you were already planning to kill her, right? Or even earlier, you were looking for an excuse to kill her, right? Because not only did she hear you discussing killing Miss Shen, she also knew that your daughter was scolding the Third Prince for being a coward, scolding him for not poisoning the Emperor and putting the blame on the First Prince, saying he was so stupid..."

in space.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and a chill instantly spread around him.

The old prime minister was already sweating profusely. Upon hearing this, he stood up tremblingly, plopped down on his knees, and dared not raise his head in fear. "Your Majesty, I deserve to die."

No one dared to plead for him.

There was silence in the space, and no one dared to breathe.

outside space.

Madam Zhuang stepped on Wen Wanying's face and said, "You are not convinced, are you? How dare you glare at me? You are so young but you are as vicious as a snake. Don't think that others don't know what you have done. I tell you, even if I die with you, I will tell others about the people you have killed and the evil deeds you have done. There are people waiting to spread those things, so that you two poisonous snakes will be cursed even after you die. Especially you..."

She stepped hard, stomping Wen Wanying until she burst into tears. "Just because those officials' families laughed at your accent, you killed them one by one. The youngest one survived and begged you to spare her life. What did you say? You said you liked to see the fear on their faces when they died. You said that when the third prince ascended the throne, you could kill one person every day to amuse yourself..."

"This is because the Third Prince is no longer around. Otherwise, how much sin would you have committed?"

The more Madam Zhuang spoke, the angrier she became. She rolled her feet on Wen Wanying's face, and her fair skin was instantly broken.

Mrs. Zhao was heartbroken and kept begging her to let go. Aunt Zhuang, remembering the tragic sight of her son's leg being broken by Wen Wanying, was filled with hatred and stepped even harder.

Wen Wanying couldn't help but scream and almost fainted.

Nanny Zhuang glanced at Mrs. Zhao and suddenly felt something strange.

In the past, Mrs. Zhao would have moved over with all her strength to block Wen Wanying with her body. But why did she just beg for mercy today and just stay there without moving?

A sudden thought flashed through her mind, and she kicked Da Zhao.

"What are you doing? Damn it." She bent down and wanted to turn Da Zhao over to see if the rope behind her was secure.

In a flash, Mrs. Zhao took off the rope and swung the dagger in her hand to stab Madam Zhuang.

Nanny Zhuang was caught off guard and, as an old lady, her hands and feet were naturally not very nimble. She was frightened by Mrs. Zhao and stumbled back, falling to the ground.

Da Zhao took the opportunity to cut the rope on her feet.

At this point, Madam Zhuang also reacted and quickly climbed up to grab the dagger from her hand. Da Zhao also knew that this was the last chance for the mother and daughter to survive, so she gritted her teeth and refused to let go. The two of them started to fight, and seeing that Madam Zhuang was losing her strength, she was unable to fight her.

At this moment, Wen Wanying also woke up.

When he saw his mother and Madam Zhuang fighting, he suddenly lifted his two tied feet and kicked Madam Zhuang.

The kick happened to hit Madam Zhuang's arm, and her hand loosened, and the dagger was back in Da Zhao's hand.

"Wanying, kick her."

Da Zhao shouted, stepped back, and hurried to cut the rope on her feet.

Nanny Zhuang also turned over and got up, rushing towards Da Zhao.

Wen Wanying lay on the ground, raised her feet to block, and kicked Madam Zhuang's legs with all her might. Madam Zhuang was kicked to the ground again.

The secret room was in chaos.

Finally, the rope on Da Zhao's feet was cut.

She rolled over and got up, picked up a stick, and rushed towards Madam Zhuang.

The emperor's heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he hurriedly said to Shen Li, "Go and help her, go quickly."

Shen Li disappeared without a word.

Looking out from the fog again, she was already standing in front of Da Zhao.

The eldest Zhao was so frightened that her soul almost flew away. The dagger in her hand dropped to the ground with a clang, "Shen... Miss Shen... "
