Fu Tong'er slammed the door shut—

I just felt my heart beating fast and my face turned red.

Although the man looked dignified, he was actually quite gentle. Thinking about this, he opened the door again...

Under the moonlight, the courtyard was empty.

Jiu Ye left.

At this moment, Fu Tong'er felt a sense of loss.

So he returned, washed his feet with hot water, put on his new clothes, and went out again under the moonlight. After winding his way through the camp, he came to a bamboo garden heavily guarded.

Fu Tong'er walked over.

The soldier clasped his fists and said, "Miss Fu!"

"Do you know me?"

One said, "Yes, you are the Ninth Master's woman. You are also the future Princess Regent Prince Chun."

Fu Tong'er once again thought of the tall, strong, majestic and unapproachable middle-aged man.

Why did he choose Fu Tong'er as his wife?

She was thin and small, only eighteen years old, and in front of him, she looked like an underage girl.

Could it be that the man likes absolute control?

When Fu Tong'er thought of this, she saw a Buddhist temple on the side, in which an old woman was chanting scriptures.

So he asked, “Who is she?”

"To answer Miss Fu, she is the Ninth Master's mother, Concubine Shu. She has been confined here by the Ninth Master."

"Grounded?" Fu Tong'er was incredulous. "Why would he ground his own mother? This is outrageous."

"Well," the two soldiers looked at each other, and one said, "I heard it's for Miss Fu."

"Yes," said another, "the nanny beside Concubine Shu did something that Miss Fu could not accept, which led to Miss Fu hanging herself."

"Hanging herself? I did hang myself?" Fu Tong'er was even more unconvinced. With her temper, how could she possibly commit suicide? "What on earth did that nanny do?"

The soldier said, "I don't know about that. The young lady has been in a coma for quite some time. The Ninth Master ordered me to stay here and not allow Concubine Shu to disturb her."

"Where's the Mammy?"

"It seems he was executed by Master Jiu."

At this moment, the voice of Concubine Shu came from the Buddhist hall: "Who is outside?"

A soldier replied: "My Lady, it's Miss Fu."

Concubine Shu knelt on the futon and turned to look at Fu Tong'er outside the bamboo garden fence: "You're awake, come in."

The soldier whispered, "Miss Fu, please leave quickly, Concubine Shu..."

"Come in!" Concubine Shu knocked the wooden fish, hitting Fu Tong'er's little heart!

She reached for the Soul-Breaking Whip at her waist and pushed the soldiers away.

Walk inside.

We walked through the countryside path and arrived at the entrance of the Buddhist temple.

"My Lady." Fu Tong'er saluted as she touched the whip. She no longer remembered her past with Master Jiu, much less the thought of marrying him. The old lady before her was, to her, someone who had once instructed Nanny to harm her. She had to be wary.

Concubine Shu raised her eyes to see Fu Tong'er's defensive look, hummed softly, closed her eyes and continued to beat the wooden fish: "How have you charmed my son?"

Fu Tong'er didn't wait for Concubine Shu to ask her to excuse herself and went to sit down.

"I have no interest in your son. He insisted on getting into my bed. I had no choice but to let him press on me for a while. He wanted to stay with me, so I drove him away. When he left, he couldn't get me, so he just said, 'There's a long way to go.'"

At this time, a soldier whispered: "Master Jiu said that once Miss Fu arrives here, we must report it. Go quickly."

Concubine Shu stopped beating the wooden fish.

Under the dim light, Fu Tong'er felt that the old woman looked rather eerie. She pulled out her Soul-Breaking Whip and placed it on the small tea table beside her.

Just then—

Her throat was grabbed by Concubine Shu who moved in front of her like lightning!

The concubine's face was full of hatred, like a devil!

Fu Tong'er hurriedly reached for the Soul-Breaking Whip beside her...
