Chapter 224: Can't Live, Can't Die

It seemed that Dongqing would rather die by banging his head against the wall than confess anything.

Xie Lan and Tiechui stood aside, just watching coldly, with no intention of stopping it.

Dong Qing was thinking in his mind that although Xie Lan discovered that he had drugged the wine given by the emperor, the mission failed.

But as long as she kept the secret and refused to confess, and died to save her family's lives, Princess Huaining would definitely let her family go no matter what.

Dong Qing had a good idea, but with Xie Lan and Tiechui around, how could they let her get her wish?

Just as she was about to hit the wall, Xie Lan waved her hand slightly at the hammer.

Tiechui nodded slightly, then flew over and grabbed Dongqing's arm.

At first Dongqing thought that Tiechui was trying to stop him from committing suicide, and just as he was about to struggle, he did not expect Tiechui to let go of his hand in an instant.

Dongqing was stunned. She was originally puzzled by Tiechui's actions, but when her head was covered in blood, she suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that Tiechui pulled her not because he couldn't bear to see her commit suicide, but because he wanted to save her out of kindness.

On the contrary, she was afraid that she would die too easily and wanted to make her suffer while alive.

Xie Lan looked down at Dong Qing's forehead with a hole in it, and was extremely satisfied with his control over the strength of the hammer.

The force she had just pulled was not strong, but it was just right to prevent Dong Qing from being killed while causing her great pain.

Seeing that Xie Lan had no sympathy for his miserable situation, but instead looked like he was appreciating a beautiful scenery, Dong Qing was so angry that his lips trembled.

"You...you are so cruel that you watched me commit suicide without saving me."

Xie Lan almost couldn't help rolling his eyes at her.

"You were the one who wanted to die, so how dare you blame us for not helping you?
Besides, you dared to put drugs in my drink in an attempt to harm me. I am not a fool, why should I save you? "

Dong Qing was speechless for a moment and glared at Xie Lan angrily, "It's not that I want to harm you."

"But the glass of wine I drank was clearly poured by you. Even if you were not the mastermind, you must be an insider. If you tell me the person behind it, I might be able to spare your life.

Otherwise, I will make you fall into a situation where you can neither live nor die."

Dongqing bit her lower lip tightly, feeling extremely conflicted.

If she confessed, the attack would be in vain. But now she no longer had the courage to commit suicide.

And even if she could muster up the courage to hit him again, with Miss Xie's hard-hearted character, she would only make her suffer more, but would never let her die easily.

Dongqing made up his mind and was about to bite his tongue to commit suicide without making any sound.

Tiechui was quick-witted and quick-handed. He quickly pinched her jaw and with a little force from his fingers, he removed her chin.

Dongqing burst into tears due to the pain and his vision went dark.

Just as he was about to faint, he was slapped hard in the face by a hammer and woke up.

At this moment, she finally felt the ultimate pain and truly understood what it meant to be unable to live or die.

Seeing that Dong Qing was unwilling to confess even after begging for death twice, Xie Lan simply took out the truth talisman.

Although if she continued to force a confession with the hammer, Dong Qing would definitely reveal the person behind the scenes, she didn't want to waste any more time.

"Dongqing, who ordered you to put drugs in my wine? Was it the Princess of Wen'an?"

Just now Dongqing was angry that the hammer broke her jaw, but now she was glad that she couldn't speak and didn't have to confess.

But unexpectedly, this was no problem at all for the hammer.

With a cold look on his face, he grabbed her chin and pushed and pressed it back.

Although the hammer was installed quickly, she didn't control the strength of her hand and Dongqing was in excruciating pain.

Now that the jaw was fixed, Holly was not at all happy. Instead, she was horrified to find that she could no longer control her mouth.

"It was not the county lady who ordered me to give you the drug, but Princess Huaining."

"What, it's Princess Huaining?" Xie Lan was really surprised. If she didn't know that under the effect of the truth talisman, no one could lie, Xie Lan would almost think that Dong Qing had deliberately lied to her.

"I have never offended Princess Huaining, so why did she drug me? Could it be that she was angry that I won the bet against Princess Wen'an and threw soup on her, so she wanted to vent her anger?"

"No, the princess drugged you because she wanted the eldest master to defile your innocence and marry you as his daughter-in-law."

What the hell?

Xie Lan's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. He wanted to marry her as his daughter-in-law, so he gave her an aphrodisiac?

"Is your princess crazy?"

Dongqing said seriously under the effect of the talisman paper, "The princess is not crazy."

"Then why did she drug me? With her status, she could marry any daughter-in-law she wanted. Was there any need for her to resort to such a despicable method as drugging me?"

Xie Lan really couldn't understand this, but just as he said this, he suddenly realized, "Is there something wrong with your eldest master?"

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why the princess drugged her.

"Yes, the eldest master in our house is a fool."

He is actually a fool? Xie Lan's eyes widened. "Is he born a fool, or was he made a fool by someone?"

Dong Qing didn't want to say anything, but she couldn't control herself at all and answered whatever Xie Lan asked.

Princess Huaining and her husband Liang Wenhao had not only a daughter, Princess Wen'an, but also a son, Liang Yuanluo.

He has been loved since birth. Three years ago, he fell in love with a poor girl named Xiao Hongxing and wanted to bring her back home to be a bed-warming maid.

Liang Yuanluo originally thought that he would be overjoyed because of Xiao Hongxing's status and could get close to him.

But he was wrong. Xiao Hongxing was not greedy for the wealth of the princess's mansion. She had been engaged for a long time and was not willing to be a bed-warming maid. She only wanted to marry her fiancé and become his wife.

Liang Yuanluo has been able to get whatever he wanted since he was a child.

Seeing that Xiao Hongxing was unwilling to be with him, he forced her fiancé to cancel the engagement in anger, and then carried her into the princess's mansion in a sedan chair.

Her innocence was taken away that day.

No one thought that Xiao Hongxing looked weak but was actually very strong-willed.

She took advantage of Liang Yuanluo's sleep, cut open his head with a vase, and then hanged herself with a silk ribbon.

Although Liang Yuanluo was not crushed to death, his brain was damaged and he became a fool after waking up. No lady would be willing to marry him.

It turned out that he was beaten stupidly.

Xie Lan sneered, “Your young master really deserves it.

However, with his status, even if he could not marry a noble lady, it would not be difficult for him to marry a lady with a lower status than the princess.

Why did the princess drug me?"

“I don’t know, but the princess originally held the banquet to choose a wife for the eldest son.

It was after your stepmother, Madam Liu, met with the princess that the princess asked me to drug you."

Xie Lan sneered. It turned out that it was Liu who was behind this. No wonder she found something wrong with Xie Ying at the banquet.

Since Liu wanted to marry into the princess's mansion, she would help the mother and daughter.
