C665 Interrogation (2/2)

”Are you going to tell me?” It's fine if you don't want to say it, we'll just pull it out bit by bit. ” Senior Servant Tai stared at her.

”...” Speak... ”Speak …” This tongue-tied torture was many times more terrifying than a single slash.

”That's more like it. Hurry up and tell me, what is the Third Miss up to?” Senior Servant Tai smiled and raised Xiang Ying's chin.

”She, she …” I went to look for a Warlock, wanting to curse Duke Ming An. That Warlock told Madam, you have to take a drop of Duke Ming An's blood, recite the curse incantation every day, and even bury the Duke's puppet in Wenhua Courtyard. ” Xiang Ying stammered finally, but her words were no longer clear.

For the curse?

Lian Ruyue slowly put down her teacup. She placed her hand on the table and lightly knocked. A hint of thought flashed between her brows.

”Eldest Miss, I'll go to the Courtyard of Wen Hua and inform the prince immediately.” Leng Mei said.

”Hurry up.” Lian Ruyue nodded. Then, her scrutinizing gaze landed on Xiang Ying's face. Her eyes slightly narrowed as she judged the authenticity of her words.

”If you dare to lie to our young lady, not only will you pull out your tongue, your teeth and tendons will all be pulled out for you. You won't even be able to beg for death.” Senior Servant Tai used all her strength to grip Xiang Ying's chin tightly, her eyes were very fierce as she warned.

”I, I'm not lying.” Xiang Ying panted as she spoke.

After staring for a while, Leng Mei came back from Wen Hua Yuan. When she returned, she held a white puppet with yellow mud on top of it. She looked at Xiang Ying and said —

”Eldest Miss, we found this under the banyan tree in the Prince's Courtyard. It looks like it really was just buried.”

”Where are the people?” Lian Ruyue asked.

”The county prince is not at Wen Hua Yuan. The maidservants in the courtyard said that the Sixth Prince called him away.” Cold Eyebrow replied.

Lian Ru Yue took the doll and carefully looked at it. The word ”Life” was engraved on it, and it had just been buried —

All of this matched what Xiang Ying said, all of the evidence was correct, she didn't seem to be lying.

”What kind of Warlock did Lian Shiya find?” Lian Meng Yue continued to ask.

”Southern Street's Daoist Priest Liu. However, he did not know that the 'Rebirth Morning' was Duke Ming An's. Since Madam had offered a high price, he did not ask any further.” Xiang Ying replied. When she spoke, her tongue seemed to be too big, and she was unable to say clearly.

”Eldest Miss, this Daoist Priest and servant have also heard of it before. In reality, he is just a warlock of the martial arts world. He specializes in deceiving people, you will know once you capture him.” Senior Servant Tai said.

To be able to find someone to confront so easily, it seemed like Xiang Ying didn't dare to lie.

”Eldest Miss, the original maidservant of Clear Spring Academy requests an audience.” At this moment, the servant girl's voice came from outside the door, but Lian Meng Yue heard it and temporarily ignored it.

”Eldest Miss, the person just now was arrested together with Senior Servant Tian. He's still waiting outside for someone important, saying that it's a matter of safety for the Prime Minister's Residence. He must ask, this is his duty, what should we do Eldest Miss?” Leng Mei whispered into Lian Ru Yue's ear.
