”No need, I'll go over myself. Go and do what you need to do.” Luo Lingxiao waved his hand and walked to the backyard.

After all these years, this was not the first time Luo Lingxiao had been here, so she was very familiar with this place. She walked through the front yard and arrived at the back yard and saw her mother holding a small wooden bowl in her hand.

As for the colorful and beautiful fish in the pond, as the steamed bread fell to the ground, they too emerged from the water and rushed to snatch the food.

”Mother, your daughter has come to see you.”

As Luo Lingxiao spoke, he straightened Aunt Shu's slightly messy sideburns.

Seeing that her daughter had arrived, Aunt Su was no longer in the mood to feed the fish. She scattered the remaining steamed buns in the wooden bowl into the pond. Then, she put down the bowl and stood up to look at her daughter with a smile.

Luo Lingxiao looked at his mother and discovered that her hair had grown a bit white. He could not help but to let out a sigh in his heart. The passage of time was urging the elderly.

”Mother, all these years, you've suffered greatly.” For some reason, Luo Lingxiao actually said this to his mother.

For a moment, Aunt Su was stunned, but then she smiled.

”Silly child, as long as you are well, what suffering does mother have?”

After the mother and daughter had dinner together, the sky had already darkened. Luo Lingxiao had originally wanted to go home, but he suddenly thought of the words that he had said to himself before he left: ”If you don't come back tonight, you might as well stay here for the night.”

She knew that there were some things Ye Feian did not want her to know. He was disguised as telling her not to go home tonight. Since that was the case, he could just stay here.

In this side chamber, after Ye Feian had brought Zhang Long and the others back, he imprisoned them in his own private prison.

His private prison was built compared to the prison in the Ministry of Justice. From the outside, this was only a very ordinary study. However, a hidden door on the floor could be opened by the mechanism of a nearby candlestick. Going down through this secret door would be a deathtrap without any daylight.

This was Ye Feian's private cell. The torture instruments were in place inside the cell. Torches were burning fiercely, and the jumping light made the surroundings flicker and dim, causing people's hair to stand on end.

At this moment, Zhang Long and the others were among them. These dozen people were divided into three cells.

”Speak, who sent you here?”

Ye Feian held a teacup in his hand and looked coldly at the people in the cell.

When Zhang Long and the others saw this, no one said anything.

”It seems like you plan to take it head-on.” Ye Feian sneered. As he spoke, he waved his hand and one of his attendants led some people to pull Zhang Long out of his cell and tie him to a torture pillar.

As the whip violently clashed with his body, Zhang Long was already bleeding profusely.

”Still unwilling to speak?” Ye Feian looked at Zhang Long.

Zhang Long only revealed a bitter smile. He knew what Endless Night wanted him to say. Ye Feian only wanted him to slander Ye Lianhe, so that he could find an excuse to provoke him.
