Chapter 65: Cheating and Threatening the Magpie

Liang Yusong took out a piece of paper from his purse, opened it, and was so frightened that he almost lost his balance.

"This is……"

She was surprised and confused. She looked at Yuan Wanru, then at Lu Jiangnian, and finally her gaze fell on Shanzha and Xi Que who were kneeling on the ground. She did not say a word for a long time.

Zhou Fang was very puzzled when she saw her exaggerated expression. Wasn't there a document written by Cao Lanxin in there? Why was Liang Yusong so surprised?

However, Lu Jiangnian guessed that something was wrong and it was actually different from what he thought.

What exactly did Yuan Wanru put in there?

The girl had thick eyelashes, a raised nose and red lips. There was a meaningful smile in her eyes, and she said in a gentle tone: "Miss Liang, why don't you tell everyone what's in your purse?"

Liang Yusong felt the thing in his hand getting hotter and hotter, and he deeply regretted that he should not have gone down that path with Nanny Gui today and got involved in this matter.

She hesitated as she looked at Lu Jiangnian pleadingly, and said hesitantly, "Brother Lu, I dare not say this."

Lu Jiangnian frowned. Liang Yusong was becoming less and less smart.

If you don't dare to say it, just leave it to someone else. What do you want him to do?

Is he on good terms with her?

Madam Lu said in a deep voice, "What exactly does the paper say? Jiang Nian, go and take a look. Don't embarrass Yu Shuang."

"The little girl's face turned pale with fear. I don't know what shameful things Yuanshi has hidden."

Lu Jiangnian turned his head and met Yuan Wanru's interested gaze. He curled the corners of his lips, stood up suddenly, and pulled up someone who was watching the show with his right hand.

When Yuan Wanru saw his evil smile, she knew that this man was up to something. He was very strong and easily pulled her off the chair. Then he placed his big hand across her waist and pushed her gently: "It's more appropriate for you to go and see, my lady."

She followed his force and took a few steps forward, then turned back and glared at him helplessly.

Forget it. Originally, this play had to be led by her before the singing could proceed.

Yuan Wanru walked to Liang Yusong, took the paper, and instantly became dramatic.

Her eyes suddenly widened: "Oh my God."

"This is the defense map of the northern part of Youzhou."

My husband and father just returned from Youzhou, and Shanzha must have sneaked into the Wujingzhai and secretly drew this picture. "

Her face was solemn as she looked at Wang Min and explained, "As everyone knows, my father and husband have stationed troops in Youzhou in the past few years, and this year they defeated the Mohe."

"This picture must have been copied by Shanzha without anyone noticing. It seems that Shanzha's identity is not simple."

She looked at Shanzha with sharp eyes: "Who are you? Are you a spy of the Mohe?"

Madam Lu and the others had no idea that what was in the purse would be such an important thing.

Lu Jiangnian lowered his head to hide the smile in his eyes.

It seemed that she had started to make up stories again. Last time in Qingfeng Tower, she easily fooled Murong Ling. He wanted to see how she planned to fool the people present this time.

Liang Yusong frowned, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't put his finger on it for the moment.

Wang Min was furious.

Yuan Wanru told her that Xi Que and Shan Zha had private dealings, and asked her to take Liang Yusong to arrest people and punish Zhou Fang today, as she did not want the second branch to reach Lingshuiju.

Unexpectedly, this arrest turned out to be a spy from an enemy country.

How can this be!

"You are actually a spy. We in the Loyal and Brave Marquisate are loyal to the Emperor and will never tolerate you."

Zhou Fang was completely confused. How could Shanzha become a Mohe spy?

Yuan Wanru walked over to the two maids. They didn't seem to understand the seriousness of the situation. She kindly explained, "Mother is right. To show our loyalty, we need to send Shanzha and Xique to the Dali Temple immediately."

"I heard that the interrogation of spies by the Dali Temple was very cruel."

"There is a torture called Lingchi, which is to cut off your flesh piece by piece while you are still alive. This will last for three thousand times until the spy can no longer bear it and confesses."

"If you are lucky enough to withstand three thousand cuts, you can walk out of the Dali Temple alive."

"Also, there is a punishment called human stick."

She suddenly reached out her hand and patted Shanzha on the shoulder: "I'll chop off your two arms, ears, and feet, like a stick, but you'll still be alive."

"Which one do you two want to try? We can suggest it to the Dali Temple and follow your ideas."

Hawthorn and Magpie had understood what was going on by now. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were shaking like sieves.

Xi Que fell to the ground and shouted in a trembling voice: "Madam, I am not a spy. I really am not a spy."

Shanzha opened her mouth to beg for mercy, but her mouth kept opening and closing, but no sound came out.

I guess he was too scared to make a sound.

Old Madam Lu, Zhou Fang and others looked at Yuan Wanru with horror, their faces turning pale.

Yuan Wanru, who uttered those bloody words, looked calm and composed.

Lu Jiangnian's heart was hit hard. He felt that she was damn beautiful despite her vicious and domineering appearance.

There was no way he could take his eyes away from her.

Yuan Wanru smiled warmly: "If you are not a spy, what is the point of stealing the defense map?"

Xi Que's face was pale and she was almost on the verge of collapse. She didn't want to be turned into a human stick and be tortured to death.

"Madam, it's none of my business. I just asked Shanzha to steal the note written by Miss Cao Sanbiao to you. I really don't know how it turned into a defense map."

Yuan Wanru didn't give her time to breathe, and asked immediately: "What do you want to do with the receipt?"

Xi Que was so frightened that she no longer wanted to keep Zhou Fang's secret. She shouted, "It was the Second Madam who asked me to steal it. I'm really not a spy!"

Zhou Fang reacted immediately, but of course she did not admit it.

"Nonsense, when did I ever ask you to steal?"

Yuan Wanru sighed: "Is that so?"

"My second brother will be killed next year. If there is a spy around my second aunt, I am afraid it will also affect my second brother."

"Xi Que is your personal maid. If she becomes a spy, I'm afraid that my second brother will not be able to escape before the Dali Temple finds out the whole story."

"I thought I could clear the magpie of suspicion."

She looked straight at Xi Que and said, "Since Second Aunt said no, then you are still a serious suspect. We can only send you to the Dali Temple immediately."

Zhou Fang jumped up immediately: "No."

Yuan Wanru sneered: "There is a spy in our house. This is a huge matter. If it gets out, my father and husband may not be able to keep their official positions."

"We have no choice but to take the initiative and avoid suspicion to prove our innocence. Second Aunt, even if you have a hundred reasons, you can't stop us."

Zhou Fang had never expected that just because she coveted Cao Lanxin's several hundred taels of silver and helped her steal a document, she would cause such a huge disaster. She was immediately at a loss and looked at the old lady: "Old lady, are you really going to send him away?"

Wang Min said firmly: "This is a serious matter. Is it possible that the old lady has given up the future of the Marquis just for a maid?"

When the old lady heard this, she didn't care about anything else: "If the magpie is innocent, he will be able to come out alive. Why do you have to hinder him?"

"That's right, Second Aunt should believe that the magpie can withstand three thousand knives."

Yuan Wanru said to Xi Que lightly, "You have to be strong, but if you really followed Second Aunt's orders and went in contact with Shanzha, then the suspicion is much less."

"Magpie, can you prove it?"

"If you can tell me something else, I might be able to help you. After all, I don't like to wrongly accuse people."

When Zhou Fang heard these words, she felt something was wrong.

The next moment, the magpie's reaction confirmed this.
