It's good that they don't want to be neutral. It's better to be an enemy than an ally.

It is a huge surprise that Prince Gong can now take the initiative to contact them.

In order to express their gratitude, they quickly closed the case of Ruan Hong and his wife.

Ruan Hong was dismissed from office, and after years of struggle he finally became a commoner.

Mrs. Ruan plotted against her own sister, and asked her servants to murder her sister for a retrial.

She was convicted, but not immediately sentenced to death.

Because Ruan Xinchen's younger brother has not been found yet.

She was beaten with a stick, had her legs broken, and was locked up in Ruan's mansion, where someone from the palace personally guarded her.

The same treatment as a concubine who lost favor and was banished to the cold palace, what awaits her is a life worse than death.

But even so, she still didn't reveal a single word about her brother's news.

Princess Gong sighed, "This time the Queen gave us a great gift, but it's a pity that woman still refused to tell anyone."

As she spoke, she looked at Ruan Xinchen and said, "No news is good news. If she doesn't tell me, it means your brother is still alive."

Ruan Xinchen nodded gently, thought for a moment, and then said, "Mother, I want to go see her."

"Okay, go and see."

Ruan Xinchen felt that Ruan Hong could no longer be relied upon.

Cui Yun is such a stubborn person that she would never tell anyone even if she dies.

In the afternoon, she planned to go to Ruan's house to see Mrs. Ruan. When she was about to leave, Cui'er found her.

"Sister Xiao, let me go with you. We'll leave later, and I want to see her before we leave."

A trace of hatred and unwillingness flashed across her eyes.

Ruan Xinchen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Ruan Xinchen took Cui'er to the Ruan Mansion.

Now that Ruan Hong has been dismissed from office, he is drinking like a useless person in his mansion.

When Ruan Xinchen saw 놛놅, 놛 was holding a wine gourd like crazy, drinking from time to time, with tears and smiles in his mouth.

"Second sister, grandpa... has been like this since he came back. What do you think we should do?" The housekeeper was so worried that his hair fell out. Many servants in the house were sent away, and some of them were clever and stole some things and ran away.

The housekeeper followed me here from my hometown and has never been willing to leave.

Ruan Xinchen stood there looking at the crazy drunkard, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

Cui Er sighed when she saw 놛놅's expression, "After struggling for half a lifetime, everything turned into nothing. In the end, I got nothing."

She looked at Ruan Xinchen and said, "Looking at this, I seem to see the person in the words many years ago."

Many years ago, someone pulled 놛 out of the abyss.

But now, the man who had pulled you out of the abyss has long since turned into dry bones, and the grass on his grave has been cut over and over again.

No one can save you anymore.

Ruan Xinchen turned his head away and didn't look at him.

"Let's go and see Mrs. Ruan."

"yes."

Cui Yun was locked up, not because of Ruan Hong, but because of the Queen.

Therefore, the person guarding her door was not from Ruan's house, but from the palace.

After Ruan Xinchen explained her purpose, the other party made way and respectfully invited her in.

"Young Madam, please."

"Thank you."

In order to prevent her from escaping, or perhaps as a deliberate punishment for her, the windows were sealed.

The iron lock fell to the ground, the door opened, and light came into the room.

As expected of mother and daughter, they both looked similar in their suffering and desolation.

No, it's still much worse.

Ruan Yihe couldn't figure it out, so she went crazy and locked herself in the room.

After all, Chu Liwei is a yard, not a room.

Madam Ruan was imprisoned in the room by the Queen.

His hair was messy, his clothes were not properly put on, and he just lay on the messy bed.

Yes, she heard that she was beaten with a stick and her leg was broken.

As he got closer, Ruan Xinchen smelled a bad odor.

Only then did she notice that Mrs. Ruan's mouth was full of yellowed food, and there were also a lot of moldy leftovers on her pillow.

She was twisted unnaturally, and fell to the side helplessly.

It turned out that not only her legs were broken, but her body was also broken.

Seeing her end, Ruan Xinchen felt a little bit of pleasure of revenge.

"You?"

She was tortured beyond recognition, but her voice was still clear.

It seems that his mind is clear.

This is better than Ruan Yihe, and much better than Ruan Hong.

"Well, we came to see you."

"Hey, looking at me? I think you guys are here to take advantage of me."

"Yeah." Ruan Xinchen smiled, "It seems that you have a clear mind. Then you should still remember where my brother is."

"Of course." Mrs. Ruan smiled maliciously and said, "Unfortunately, I would rather take this secret into my coffin than tell you."

"Really?" Ruan Xinchen looked her up and down and said with a smile, "Do you think you still have a chance to end up in a coffin in this state?"

Mrs. Ruan's expression changed.

Seeing her subtle changes, Ruan Xin smiled happily.

It turns out that she is not immune to vulgarity either.

The ancients believed that life is painful and death is joyful, and that death is another kind of rebirth, so they paid more attention to funerals and lavish burials.

Ruan Xinchen said: "My uncle has received a reply from the Cui family, saying that the Cui family has expelled you. And the Ruan family will not want you, a murderer. There will be no place to bury you after you die. You can be thrown into a mass grave without even a straw mat. Your soul will be left alone and you will become a wandering ghost."

Listening to Ruan Xinchen's words, she was indeed a little frightened.

But then she thought of something and suddenly laughed again.

"No, I still have a son and a daughter. I am better than that jerk Cui Ming. She had no husband when she was alive, and no son after she died. She has no descendants, and she is a lonely ghost."

"Hahaha..." Ruan Xinchen laughed, "You are a sinner, do you think your children have any future? They can't even protect themselves, they will be skinned alive if they don't die. They will hate you and hate why there is a mother like you.

They were originally from a wealthy family, and even if they lived a life of mediocrity, they could still have no worries about food and clothing. But because of you, they are afraid that they can't even beg for money on the street. Do you think they will collect your body and burn incense for you during festivals? "

Murdering someone is just that. According to Ruan Xinchen, after she dies like this, there won't even be anyone to burn paper for her.

Her so-called children, let alone burning paper for her, were considered good if they didn't curse her during festivals.

Mrs. Ruan looked extremely ugly and her lips trembled with anger.

But I couldn't utter a word.

At this time, Cui Er said slowly, "If you are willing to tell me the whereabouts of Master Xiao, I can burn paper for you during festivals."

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Ruan came to her senses and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... You're telling me all these scary things just to get the whereabouts of that bastard. Forget about it, I won't tell you."

"You..." Cui'er was about to say something when Ruan Xinchen pulled her aside.

Cui'er shut her mouth, glared at Madam Ruan angrily, and secretly took out the dagger she had prepared.
