Master and Young Master Zhou have only been engaged for a short time, haven't they?
How many times?
How come she didn't find out?
Ziyan was completely bewildered: "?"
But looking at Cheng Xianyi's dejected appearance, it was clear that she was feeling very depressed and down inside, probably with her heart full of holes, but she was unwilling to show it and pretended to be calm and indifferent.
"My lord, please don't do this. It makes me uneasy."
“If you’re really that upset, I’ll go to the capital and beat Lin Jiaoyun to a pulp. If Young Master Zhou tries to cause trouble for you, then just tie him up.”
"If we just force ourselves on him, maybe Young Master Zhou will forget about Lin Jiaoyun in time?" Ziyan's defenses were about to collapse.
Cheng Xianyi glanced at Ziyan with a deep, wistful look.
Those eyes seemed to be saying—
I really misjudged you.
It's all about tempting yourself to do these irreversible things!
Although she felt a slight flutter in her heart, Cheng Xianyi felt her heart breaking whenever she thought of Zhou Cheng looking at her with hatred in his eyes. She would rather stomp herself to pieces than live to see that day.
“Ziyan,” Cheng Xianyi coldly uttered, “you are truly unreliable.”
Ziyan looked bewildered.
Am I unreliable?
If I'm unreliable, then how come you're so naturally good at feigning weakness?!
A reliable solution is one that truly resonates with you, right?
In this heavy atmosphere, Ziyan didn't dare to refute anything. She could only watch helplessly as Cheng Xianyi acted as if nothing had happened and walked straight ahead.
As they walked, they arrived at the military camp where torture was used.
Thump!
This very second.
Countless images flashed through Zi Yan's mind, making her heart pound with fear. She mustered her courage to look at Cheng Xianyi's expression, afraid that this extremely love-obsessed person might do something foolish.
Black Rat and Black Horse, who were guarding the torture chamber, have not yet returned.
In the vast execution ground, apart from the deputy guard of the Marquis's mansion who was tied to a wooden frame, only Cheng Xianyi and Ziyan remained.
"You!! What are you doing here?"
"Are you going to kill them to silence them?"
The deputy guard, covered in whip marks, looked up and was met with that stunningly beautiful and harmless face, which startled him so much that his pupils shrank: "The delicate young lady raised in a noble family, I never imagined she would be so cruel behind the scenes!"
"Young Master Zhou is truly blind, having been bewitched by you, you wicked scorpion!"
"I'm telling you, his surname is Cheng."
"I will not yield. Don't try anything funny. If you hadn't sown discord between the Marquis and the Zhou family, how could Young Master Zhou have arrested and interrogated me as a spy! You vicious woman!"
"You wait, I will expose your true colors and avenge the guard who slit your throat!"
The deputy guard gritted his teeth and uttered harsh words to Cheng Xianyi.
He was terrified.
To hide his inner fear, he could only stiffen his neck and glare at Cheng Xianyi in a show of defiance.
But how could Cheng Xianyi be frightened by such harmless eyes?
Without even frowning, she walked straight to the rows of torture instruments, examining them closely and picking them out.
A harmless woman with unparalleled beauty and a delicate, supple figure.
It stood in stark contrast to the bloody instruments of torture beside it.
The visual impact made the deputy guard's chest tremble with fear, and terror gradually spread across his face: "You can't kill me... If I die, based on my previous confessions, Young Master Zhou will definitely suspect you."
"I suspect you're not as innocent and virtuous as you appear..."
Cheng Xianyi raised her eyes and glanced at the deputy guard without any emotion.
Then, with a flick of the fingertip.
Three things were picked out.
Gauze, tweezers, bone scraper.
From the deputy guard's horrified eyes, one could see Cheng Xianyi walking towards him expressionlessly, first stuffing gauze into his mouth, and then taking off his shoes.
