My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 165 Torturing Gu Rong
Bai Hu Yaoyao felt that the Crown Prince no longer trusted Shengshi, nor his uncle, and even less Quan Lihen.

Selfish people will never think about themselves.

If the elder brother were to hand these letters over to the Crown Prince, he would certainly be implicated.

He couldn't take his older brother with him as he wanted.

“I understand, your older brother isn’t stupid.”

Sheng Shi also realized that the Crown Prince had changed.

Now all he wants is to protect his sister; he doesn't want anything else.

“Brother, give a copy of this letter to the Crown Prince and a copy to the Prime Minister. The Crown Prince may protect Sheng Jian, but the Prime Minister will definitely not.”

Just in case, Bai Hu Yaoyao felt it would be safer to give the Prime Minister a copy.

After all, the current crown prince is in cahoots with Sheng Jian.

"You're right! I'll go there."

Shengshi took the letter and left.

The Marquis's mansion was in a state of gloom. The old lady had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed, and Sheng Jian was indecisive. The entire mansion was filled with anxiety.

The wedding, which was originally scheduled for three days later, was also canceled.

Sheng Jian is no longer concerned about Jiang Yiyi.

With the Marquis's mansion's money gone, he lost his confidence.

They couldn't even come up with the promised 100,000 taels of silver as a tribute to the Crown Prince.

He still didn't know how to explain it to the Crown Prince.

Now he's borrowing money everywhere, just to pay the money he promised the Crown Prince.

Sheng Jian has been so busy these past few days that he hasn't been at the Marquis's residence.

"Miss, please take me to see Gu Rong."

With the wedding canceled, Jiang Yiyi decides to meet Gu Rong.

Even if Gu Rong dies, he must die by her hand.

White Fox Yaoyao nodded, "Let's go!"

Sheng Jian locked Gu Rong in a dark room and forbade anyone to visit her.

It's easy to slip past the guards and bring someone into the dark room.

The dark room was filled with a foul stench of decay, and it was unknown how many people Sheng Jian had dealt with in this dark room.

Gu Rong was locked in the innermost compartment.

"Gu Rong." Jiang Yiyi looked at Gu Rong, who was chained up, and suddenly felt a sense of retribution.

Gu Rong is now tortured beyond recognition; her arms and legs seem to have been broken, and she lies on the ground worse than a beggar.

"Help, help me." Gu Rong was already weak and powerless.

Bai Hu Yaoyao never expected that Sheng Jian would torture Gu Rong so cruelly.

This is torture to the point of death.

It's no wonder that Sheng Jian would kill his mother for her dowry, and then torture Gu Rong like this for money.

This is what she deserved; they were all involved in her mother's death.

"Why should I save you? I'm just here to see you make a fool of yourself. You can only die by my hand."

Jiang Yiyi squatted down, lifted her chin, and made her look at her.

"Why, why?" Gu Rong was certain she had never seen her before, so why did she hate her so much?

Jiang Yiyi slapped her face away, "Do you still remember Tao Yao? And the child you killed?"

She was the most sought-after courtesan in a brothel; her real name was Jiang Yiyi, and her stage name was Tao Yao.

Most people only know her as Tao Yao; no one knows her real name.

Gu Rong was shocked.

"Impossible! Tao Yao is dead! I saw it with my own eyes." Gu Rong couldn't believe that the person in front of her was the dead Tao Yao.

To prevent other women from threatening her position, she was determined not to let any other woman marry Sheng Jian.

Moreover, Tao Yao was pregnant with Sheng Jian's child, so there was no way she would let her live.

Tao Yao didn't die?

But these two people don't look alike!

"Of course Tao Yao is dead. The one who is alive now is Jiang Yiyi. It was Miss who saved me and gave me a new face. I came to the Marquis's mansion to take revenge on you."

Jiang Yiyi slashed her face hard with the dagger in her hand.

Ahhhhh!
The dark room was filled with Gu Rong's screams.

Today, she got her revenge for all the torment Gu Rong had inflicted on Tao Yao. The white fox Yao Yao, a blade of grass dangling from her mouth, stood at the door watching as Tao Yao tormented Gu Rong.

She also felt relieved.

Seeing that Gu Rong was barely clinging to life, Bai Hu Yaoyao fed her a pill, while Tao Yao continued to torture her.

'The cycle goes on and on,' Gu Rong thought she might as well just die.

"Please, please, let me die." Gu Rong had only one breath left.

She regretted it; she regretted provoking those two.

Seeing that the person was about to die, Bai Hu Yaoyao stopped Jiang Yiyi.

Why did you drug my mother?

This is something she doesn't understand.

Gu Rong was already terrified of being tortured, so she told everyone she knew.

When Sheng Jian married Xu Yuan, he never consummated their marriage.

If Xu Yuan drinks tea laced with medicine, she will fall into a state of unconsciousness.

On the surface, it appears that Sheng Jian spent the first half of the night in Xu Yuan's room, and then went to Gu Rong's room in the second half.

Actually not.

After Sheng Jian left, the noise coming from Xu Yuan's room indicated that Sheng Jian had found another person to consummate their marriage with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan was given the drug and, in her dazed state, couldn't tell who the man was.

When she wakes up the next day, she will only think that Sheng Jian consummated their marriage.

Bai Hu Yaoyao clenched her fists tightly, "Sheng Jian! You bitch! How dare you treat my mother like this!"

"Who is that man?"

So, these three siblings are not Sheng Jian's children at all.

No wonder Sheng Jian doesn't care about them at all.

All she wants to do right now is strangle Sheng Jian.

Gu Rong shook her head. "I don't know who that man is, and I've never seen him. All I know is that the man Sheng Jian used to keep locked in this dark room is this man. Every time your mother slept in the same room, it was this man."

"Later, when your mother became pregnant with you, this man suddenly disappeared, breaking free of the chains in the dark room, and was never found again."

"I've told you everything I know, I'm begging you, just give me a quick death!"

Bai Hu Yaoyao smiled coldly and fed her another pill. "I won't let you die so easily. You treated my mother so badly, I will make you wish you were dead."

"Your children will pay the price for all that you've done!"

Jiang Yiyi tortured Gu Rong again until he was on his last breath before the two of them walked out of the dark room.

"Yiyi, this Marquis's mansion won't be around for long. What are your plans for the future?"

She tortured and killed Gu Rong repeatedly, which could be considered as revenge for herself and her child.

Letting Gu Rong die so easily is too good for her.

Jiang Yiyi immediately knelt down, "Miss, I want to follow you from now on."

The young lady was no ordinary person; being by her side made her feel very safe.

Even being a maid for a young lady is acceptable.

"Get up, go to Fanlou! From now on, that's our territory."

Fanlou has a lot to do.

Ever since she became the owner of the restaurant, all the waiters at Fanlou have been reporting to her via the communication stone, which is driving her crazy.

It would be great if someone could help her handle these things.

Jiang Yiyi is a great helper.

"Go to Fanlou? Can I really go there?" Jiang Yiyi couldn't believe it.

The young lady gave her the identity of a waitress at Fanlou, which she thought was just a cover for Sheng Jian, but she didn't expect it to be true.

"Of course, I have a lot of things to deal with. I can't keep up with everything at Fanlou. I'm so annoyed."

"You can help me with some simple things. If you can't handle it, just come to me."

"It's time for everything here to end. You can leave when it's over."

Those letters must already be on the emperor's desk, right?
It will probably take a few more days to determine exactly how to handle the Marquis's residence.

“Okay! I’ll go.” Jiang Yiyi was very grateful to the young lady.

It was the young lady who gave her a new life and the courage to live on; from now on, her life belonged to the young lady.
