Shangguan Wanning said this while secretly observing the two girls' reactions.
When she mentioned Ling Ruiying, they were obviously a little uncomfortable, and Beatrice even shuddered.
"What's wrong?" Shangguan Wanning asked with concern, "Is it too cold?"
Bitui and Hongshuang looked at each other, both feeling sad.
"To be honest, sir, that Lord Ling... well, anyway, whoever is named by him will be in trouble. He is simply... not a human being."
As Hongshuang spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and she rolled up her sleeves.
Shangguan Wanning saw that Hongshuang's fair arms were covered with bruises, some blue and some purple.
"Me too."
The scars on Beatrice's body were even more serious than Hongshuang's.
"how so?"
Shangguan Wanning's heart couldn't help but tighten.
Bitui and Hongshuang seemed to have found someone to complain to, and they cried and told Shangguan Wanning about Ling Ruiying's cruelty.
Only at this moment could Shangguan Wanning truly understand what Huo Gang meant by psychopathy.
Ling Ruiying seemed to enjoy beating the women under him until they were covered in bruises and torturing them until they begged for mercy.
This is consistent with the tragic situation of the women who were murdered.
Shangguan Wanning felt a little sympathetic towards the two women. She took out some silver and gave them a reward. "The two girls should keep this silver and buy some supplements for themselves."
Seeing that Shangguan Wanning did not look down on them at all, but instead showed great care for them, the two were deeply moved and thanked her repeatedly.
"By the way, when the two girls were hurt by Ling Ruiying, did they see any special... birthmarks or something like that on his body?"
Bicui and Hongshuang looked at each other, not understanding why Shangguan Wanning asked this question.
Shangguan Wan Ning was worried that they might become suspicious, so she explained, "I have a relative who beats people. If you know what characteristics he has, I can go to my relative and ask for a cure for you, or even curse him."
Shangguan Wanning made up a lie, but the two girls believed it.
They all recalled carefully, but finally shook their heads.
"I really don't care..."
"Me too. Most of the time he wants us to turn our backs to him, and he doesn't care if he has a birthmark on his body."
"What about...the mole? On the leg?"
Bitui and Hongshuang still shook their heads.
Shangguan Wanning was a little discouraged. Isn't this just a hundred trips?
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and the old mother ran in in a panic.
"Master Ling's servant came just now. Master Ling will be here soon. He specifically asked for the two of you to serve him..."
Before the old mother could finish her words, Bitui and Hongshuang were already shaking with fear.
"Mom, our injuries haven't healed yet... No, I won't go. I'll die."
"I won't go either. He...he is simply not a human being."
Beicui and Hongshuang started to cry, and the old mother was helpless. "I can't care about that anymore. He is a powerful figure in the court. If you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck."
Shangguan Wan Ning wanted to plead for the two of them, but was interrupted by the old mother.
"Sir, that's someone you can't afford to offend. I'll find another girl for you."
After the old lady finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Shangguan Wan Ning, and even ignored the desperate pleas of Bicui and Hong Shuang, and ordered the thugs guarding the door, "Take them back to their rooms to dress up and put on makeup, and then vacate the Tianzi No. 1 room."
Shangguan Wan Ning watched helplessly as the two helpless girls were taken away, but she was powerless to do anything. She felt a little sad.
"Young Master, let's go back." Lu Tong said cautiously.
"Wait here for me. I'm going to do something."
Shangguan Wanning kept the old mother's words in mind.
She sneaked to Room No. 1, knocked on the door, and when there was no response, she quietly walked in.
Ling Ruiying had not arrived yet. Shangguan Wanning glanced around and her eyes fixed on a large wardrobe.
Now that I'm here today, I have to find out whether Ling Ruiying is the murderer.
Shangguan Wanning gritted her teeth and hid in the closet.
There was silence all around her, and she could only hear her own heart beating. She began to regret it vaguely.
Ling Ruiying is a martial arts expert. If he finds out, the consequences will be disastrous. Besides...she might see something she shouldn't see...
The more Shangguan Wanning thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. When she was about to leave, the door was pushed open. She had no choice but to curl up in the closet, not daring to breathe.
Through the gap in the wardrobe, she saw Ling Ruiying walk in, waved his hand to dismiss his followers, and began to take off his clothes.
He threw his shirt on the ground, sat down at the table and drank by himself.
Shangguan Wanning even breathed carefully.
About a cup of tea later, Bitui and Hongshuang came in.
The two men were obviously very afraid of Ling Ruiying. They stood trembling in the distance, with their heads down and not daring to move forward.
"What? Am I a ghost? Are you so scared of me?"
Ling Ruiying kicked the stool away and rushed to the two of them, pulling them into his arms one by one.
"I haven't been here for three days. How are you? Do you miss me?"
Ling Ruiying increased the force of his injury and tightly gripped the two girls' wrists.
"think……"
The two of them were saying things against their will. Ling Ruiying kicked Bitui in the knee and she immediately knelt down.
"You know what to do?"
Beatrice closed her eyes in pain.
The following scene made Shangguan Wanning blush and she dared not look at it directly.
She thought she could see Ling Ruiying's characteristics, but in fact it was too naive. It was impossible for her to open her eyes wide.
Shangguan Wanning had no choice but to close her eyes and cover her ears, hoping that this farce would end quickly.
Suddenly, Hong Shuang's scream was heard.
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but look.
Ling Ruiying was seen whipping Hongshuang non-stop. The poor girl was confused and helpless, and continued to be tortured by Ling Ruiying.
Shangguan Wanning's mind was working rapidly, hoping to think of a way to help the two girls.
In a moment of desperation, she leaned her arm against the closet door.
"thump!"
Shangguan Wanning rushed out of the closet and rolled twice on the ground.
Ling Ruiying didn't expect that there would be someone else in the room.
The four of them were stunned, and the air seemed to freeze at that moment.
"So there is another one..."
Ling Ruiying was the first to react. Shangguan Wanning realized that the situation was not good. She thought quickly and kicked the stool at her feet over to her. While Ling Ruiying was dodging, she got up and ran.
Ling Ruiying had nothing to cover himself at this moment, so he naturally didn't dare to chase out like this. This gave Shangguan Wanning time to escape.
However, this courtyard, which was a place for rich young men to entertain themselves, had corridors extending in all directions, and Shangguan Wanning was in a panic and didn't know where to run.
Seeing that Ling Ruiying was about to catch up with her, she bumped into a strong chest at the corner.
Shangguan Wanning raised her head and saw a pair of deep eyes.
