Zhao Daxing and his son exchanged a glance, their expressions changing.

Zhao Chengwang looked flustered, while Zhao Daxing was in tears.

"Last night...last night...my mother passed away. She was old and wanted to go back to her hometown. I didn't dare to delay, so I wanted to send her back to her hometown for burial overnight."

At this point, his expression suddenly changed. "Where's my mother? Where's her body?"

Snapped!

Princess Mingluan lashed out with her whip again. "Stop talking nonsense! Quickly tell me what happened at the Hai family last night!"

Zhao Daxing's clothes were torn, and blood seeped out from underneath.

Zhao Daxing's face turned pale.

"Father!" Zhao Chengwang cried out in grief and indignation upon seeing this.

"If you're going to ask a question, then ask a question. Why are you hitting people?" Zhao Chengwang said angrily.

Snapped!

Princess Mingluan smiled coldly and lashed out at Zhao Chengwang with another whip.

"Did I tell you not to talk back? Fine, then tell me what exactly happened at the Hai family last night. If you answer correctly, this princess will spare your lives; if you answer incorrectly..."

Mingluan snorted coldly, "They're just two lowly slaves; I, the princess, can kill them as I please!"

Zhao Chengwang trembled, "Last night... nothing happened at the Hai family's house."

Snapped!

Another whip lashed down.

Zhao Chengwang's face turned deathly pale with pain.

Zhao Daxing said, "It's true, nothing really happened at the Hai family last night. My mother is old, and the master of the house was considerate, so he let us leave the mansion and return to our hometown."

"It seems they're not telling the truth."

Su Jinyu said with a smile, "Something very interesting must have happened at the Hai family last night. These two servants won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

Princess Mingluan narrowed her eyes, her expression sinister.

Su Jinyu said, "If you don't talk now, we have plenty of ways to make you talk!"

Wu Lingduo also said, "Why don't we let my little bug play with them? They won't be able to keep quiet then."

Wu Lingduo took out a small bottle from her bosom; inside the bottle was a Gu pill.

Zhao Daxing and Zhao Chengwang saw it, and both of them turned pale.

They had seen similar Gu pills before.

Zhao Daxing stared at the Gu pill and said to Zhao Chengwang, "Chengwang, we were originally destined to die, but the master was merciful and spared our lives."

Zhao Chengwang's trembling body shook even more violently as he said, "Yes, yes, Grandmother... Grandmother is waiting for us down there!"

"Cheng Wang..."

Zhao Daxing's eyes turned red, and he closed his lips, no longer speaking.

Zhao Chengwang lowered his head and said, "Father, actually, there was a time when I secretly saw Grandmother... but I didn't dare to say it."

Zhao Daxing closed his eyes. In fact, he had also witnessed his mother meeting and talking with Granny Fang in private. His mother did it for them.

He didn't say that he was afraid of death.

They are all guilty.

Zhao Chengwang said, "Father, I'm afraid of dying..."

As he spoke, a trickle of black blood flowed from the corner of his lips.

Su Jinyu and the others stared wide-eyed. "Quick, they're going to commit suicide!"

"You're only just realizing this now... We were planning to bury our mother, but you insisted on bringing us back!"

Zhao Daxing said coldly.

As he spoke, blood trickled from the corner of his lips.

"You want to know what happened at the Hai family last night? Don't even think about it, we won't say a word."

"you--"

Mingluan's face was contorted with rage as she lashed out with her whip, striking again and again.

Zhao Daxing said, "We grew up in the Hai family. The Hai family has done us a great favor... We never thought of leaving the manor. It's a pity..."

He coughed up mouthfuls of black blood and then fell silent.

Zhao Chengwang remained silent, his head bowed, long since silent.

"Damn slave! Dirty slave!"

Mingluan angrily lashed out with her whip, venting her rage on the corpses of Zhao Daxing and his son.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

……

The whip, dipped in chili water, lashed down with a fiery thud.

Old Duan's hands were tied, and he was suspended from an iron frame.

She had long lost the dignity of the old lady of the Hai family. At this moment, she was disheveled, her clothes were covered with whip marks, and blood kept seeping out, turning her into a blood-soaked figure.

Hai Qiongyan sat opposite, her eyes cold and filled with hatred as she stared at Old Duan. "Old Duan, where did you get your Chihuo Gu?"

If you don't confess, we have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead!
