The backyard of the Marquis of Ding'an's residence.
Yu Shuang carried the Zhenguo Gongtang like a chick, appearing with great fanfare and making no attempt to conceal her presence, heading straight for the secret underground chamber of the Marquis's residence.
This stunned the servants of the Marquis's mansion, as well as the shadow guards and spies hiding in the shadows.
Is this woman insane, or is it Marquis Ding'an who's gone mad?!
If they weren't mistaken, the person the woman was carrying was wearing a purple official robe, and he must be a high-ranking official of the first rank in the imperial court.
Is it really okay to just openly bring him to the Marquis's residence like this?
Do you know how serious this crime is?
A servant from the Marquis's residence stepped forward with a look of surprise and uncertainty to inquire:
"Miss Frost...this is..."
Yu Shuang said dismissively,
"Hurry up and inform the Marquis that I have captured the old scoundrel, the Duke of Zhenguo. Take him to the interrogation room and subject him to severe torture. I don't believe he won't confess to his past crimes."
The servant's eyes widened immediately, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Ah! The Duke of Zhenguo!?"
Even a fool would know how troublesome it was that the Duke of Zhenguo had been captured by the Marquis's men and taken to the Marquis's residence.
Oh my god!!
The Marquis of Ding'an's mansion is about to face a terrible disaster!! Ah…
The man took off running to warn others…
At this moment, spies from certain forces hidden in the shadows, having witnessed this scene, quickly relayed firsthand information to their masters.
A flock of pigeons inexplicably appeared in the sky, flapping their wings and flying in all directions...
Chen Beiyan, the owner of this mansion, was naturally the first to learn of this news.
As soon as Yu Shuang led her people onto his territory, his bodyguards notified him immediately.
Chen Beiyan was initially incredulous, doubting his own ears.
Upon receiving a definitive answer again, a surge of nameless anger welled up within him.
Unable to maintain his aloof and unfathomable demeanor any longer, he flew into a rage.
"What audacity!!"
It really was that woman who did it!!
Who gave that woman permission to do that?!
How could he act so rashly and so impatiently...
How stupid does a person have to be to do something like this?
Doesn't that idiot realize how much trouble this will cause him?
What a madman!
Chen Beiyan took a deep breath and strode towards the secret room in the backyard.
My mind was racing the whole way, and I was already thinking of ways to salvage the situation…
They bumped into a maidservant whose cheek was swollen and who was almost crying.
"My lord, the lady..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he sensed that the atmosphere was not right and consciously shut his mouth, hesitating to speak.
Even in this state of utter distress, Chen Beiyan stopped in his tracks upon hearing the word "Madam" and asked in a deep voice.
"What's wrong with Madam?"
The maid then anxiously explained the lady's condition.
"Madam encountered Miss Shuang in the backyard. Miss Shuang was carrying someone, and Madam recognized her and went forward to question her... only to be slapped by Miss Shuang for blocking her way..."
When we, the servants, went forward to argue with them, we were all beaten.
Your Highness, please go and do something about Miss Shuang! Waaaaah…
Chen Beiyan's face turned ashen.
That woman has gone too far!?!
They even dared to attack Qingyue?
He warned her not to touch Jiang Qingyue, why didn't she listen?
Is she trying to get herself killed?!
Chen Beiyan rushed to the underground secret room in a rage, where torture had already begun.
"Aaaaaah!!..."
A piercing scream reached everyone's ears, and Chen Beiyan's heart sank to the bottom.
This place was originally a place for punishing or imprisoning certain criminals, so it was not surprising to hear such sounds coming from here in the past.
But this sound…
It's definitely his father-in-law!
That woman actually used torture in private!
Who gave her the audacity?
What exactly is she trying to do?!
At that moment, he realized with a profound understanding that the piece was completely out of control.
He had already decided to kill him.
However, when he saw his father-in-law being tortured, his desire to kill Yu Shuang reached its breaking point.
"stop!!"
The henchmen who were torturing the Duke of Zhenguo stopped and respectfully bowed to Chen Beiyan.
"My lord."
Yu Shuang, who was sitting on a stool watching the execution, continued to leisurely drink tea and did not get up to greet him, which drew surprised looks from the other members of the Dark Pavilion.
What's wrong with Chief Yu today?
How dare you be disrespectful to the Lord?
Don't you want the antidote for this month?
The Duke of Zhenguo, who was unusually lucid despite being subjected to torture, met Chen Beiyan's gaze with hatred and resentment.
Chen Beiyan clenched his fists, trembling with anger.
I never imagined things would get so out of control...
Either kill them to silence them, or settle out of court...
Reconciliation is impossible...
They could kill him to silence him... How will they clean up this mess?
Qingyue's situation is also a major problem...
Chen Beiyan rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on…
He narrowed his eyes dangerously, his gaze piercing Yu Shuang like a sharp blade, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said:
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Yu Shuang innocently shrugged.
“Revenge, my lord…”
You used to always be scheming and plotting, saying that your enemies were difficult to deal with, too cunning, and hard to catch.
I'll try it today; it's pretty easy to catch.
Now that your enemy has been captured, the opportunity for revenge is within reach. You should be happy.
"Too bad you've arrived too early. Our interrogation has just begun... we haven't gotten anything out of them yet..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Beiyan became furious, his face turning even more ashen, and his gaze towards Yu Shuang seemed to want to devour her.
