Chapter 748 Don't Cut the Hair of the Man on the Roadside (13)

The Seventh Prince stormed off to Lanxiang Courtyard in a rage!

That's right, it's Lanxiang Courtyard, a name the Seventh Prince specially changed for Ning Yao!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so angry when he heard about Lanxiangyuan.

Ning Yao was embroidering a handkerchief in her courtyard when she saw the Seventh Prince enter. She went straight to greet him, "Husband, you've finally come to see me!"

The Seventh Prince looked at the woman who was as beautiful as a butterfly and slapped Ning Yao across the face.

"Ah~" Ning Yao cried out in pain.

The Seventh Prince was a martial artist, and a very skilled one at that; one can imagine how powerful that slap was.

Ning Yao was knocked to the ground by his blow, and her left cheek was visibly swollen.

She looked at the Seventh Prince in disbelief, "Husband, why did you hit me?"

"Why did I hit you? I wanted to kill you! I'm asking you, isn't Li Chun'er one of yours?"

"Li Chun'er? My husband is talking about Chun'er? She is a maid in my courtyard."

The Seventh Prince's eyes sharpened. The investigation results stated that Li Chun'er was Ning Yao's personal maid when she was in the Kang'an Marquis's mansion, but now she was talking about the maid in the courtyard. What was she hiding?

"You still dare to lie?!" He then delivered a powerful kick to the chest!

Ning Yao cried out in pain again, but no one felt sorry for her, and no one pleaded for her. The Seventh Prince was not finished with this kick. He raised his foot and kicked Ning Yao again. Ning Yao was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face, and she kept begging for mercy.

Unfortunately, the Seventh Prince did not stop his actions in the slightest.

Until Ning Yao was beaten unconscious.

Seeing that the person on the ground had fallen silent, the Seventh Prince kicked Ning Yao hard in the chest again. When the woman still did not wake up, he ordered, "Drag her to the dungeon."

The servants quickly got to work, dragging the person out like a dead dog.

No wonder she didn't complain at all after he took Ning Yao as his concubine, even though he didn't share a room with her. It turns out that this bitch knew all along that he was no longer a man.

But he still couldn't understand what Ning Yao was trying to achieve by doing this.

This was naturally not Ning Yao's doing, nor did the news come from Li Chun'er. Instead, Ning Yan had her maid dress up as Li Chun'er and go out to gossip, intentionally or unintentionally revealing that she was the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Kang'an Marquis's mansion. Otherwise, how would she know such a secret?

Ning Yan did this for only one purpose: to make those two people enemies, so that Ning Yao could live comfortably in the Seventh Prince's residence.

dream!

Ning Yan felt she was losing out if she had even one more day of good life!

Enraged, the Seventh Prince went to the prison that night, dismissed all the servants, and personally took a whip to torture Ning Yao.

During the day, Ning Yao was kicked and seriously injured, suffering several fractures and three chest fractures. At night, she was whipped until she was barely alive.

"My lord, why...why?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me why? Tell me, how did you find out I was crippled?"

Ning Yao couldn't understand. How could the Seventh Prince be crippled?

Isn't he perfectly fine?

Seeing that she didn't speak, the whip lashed out again. "Ah~, no, it hurts! I really didn't know anything, husband, please stop hitting me!"

The Seventh Prince now only wants to know who killed him. He has nowhere to vent his anger. Since Ning Yao refuses to talk, he will beat her to death.

An hour later, Ning Yao was beaten to the point of near death.

The Seventh Prince was also tired of fighting. He really didn't expect Ning Yao to be so stubborn and refuse to say anything.

But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time, and he hopes that this bitch can hold out for a while.

Unfortunately, some people didn't give him the time. Two days later, the emperor heard the rumors circulating in the streets and sent the imperial physician to examine the seventh prince.

The seventh prince was terrified and covered in sweat. As long as his enemy was not found, his secret could not be kept. But if his father found out that he had been crippled, he would really have no hope left.

However, he dared not deceive the emperor and father, and in the end, he had the imperial physician examine his pulse.

As soon as the imperial physician left, he slumped into a chair.

At this moment, one of the subordinates whispered among themselves, "The Tang family supports the Sixth Prince, and the Tang family is Ning Yao's maternal family. Is there any possibility...?"

The Seventh Prince snapped back to his senses instantly. "Good, very good! Ning Yao is truly outstanding!"

She's actually one of the Sixth Prince's people! (Sixth Prince: Good heavens, this is a disaster that's fallen into his lap!)

He picked up his sword and went to the dungeon!

Ning Yao has suffered too much these past two days, has a high fever, and her mind is foggy.

When she was lucid, she always had a feeling that her fate shouldn't be like this, and that her ending with the Seventh Prince shouldn't be like this. She should have been sitting with him on the highest chair, trampling Xia Wenqing and her child underfoot.

Just then, the Seventh Prince stormed into the dungeon with his sword in hand.

"You wretch, I'm giving you one last chance. Tell me, is the person behind you the Sixth Prince?"

Was the man who injured me that day one of the Sixth Prince's men?

Ning Yao's fever had made it difficult for her to see clearly, and her mind was not very responsive. She would nod when someone asked her a question, but the nods were not very pronounced and could not be seen clearly unless you looked closely.

But the Seventh Prince saw it clearly.

"Good, good, good! Ning Yao, you've really put on a great show, you've even fooled this prince!"

"Since you've admitted it, then this prince will send you to meet the King of Hell!"

The longsword gleamed coldly and pierced straight towards Ning Yao's heart.

With a "thud," the sharp sword pierced deeply into Ning Yao's body.

...

Soon, news spread that Consort Yao of the Seventh Prince's residence had fallen ill and died.

Ning Yan ate an extra bowl of rice after hearing the news.

The two were deeply in love until death in their previous life, but in this life she helped them become mortal enemies. However, everyone in the Kang'an Marquis's mansion survived, which is good.

...

Ning Yan went out shopping with her maid. After listening to storytelling in a teahouse for half a day, she passed by a small alley and saw several thugs kicking and beating a man dressed in hemp clothing.

"Stop! If you don't stop, I'll call the authorities."

When the thugs saw that Ning Yan was accompanied by several maids, they glared at her fiercely and then ran away.

After those people left, Ning Yan walked up to the man who was lying on the ground after being beaten.

"Can you get up? Do you need to be taken to the clinic?"

The man quickly moved, "No, I, I don't have money for medical treatment."

Ning Yan: Judging from your attire, you should be a scholar. How did you manage to provoke those people?

The man wiped the blood from his lip, his face full of dejection. "Because I offended the son of a wealthy family, and those thugs were ordered by him."

It turns out the man's name was Mo Qinglan.

The scholar from Qingshan Academy in the capital city had just passed the imperial examination and was preparing to participate in the autumn examination in August.

The young man he offended was the son of a merchant.

The sons of merchants in this dynasty can also participate in the imperial examinations, but the qualification must be purchased with money. The other party also participated in the provincial examinations this year, but unfortunately only got last place. Coincidentally, the two are students in the same class.
