There was no mercy shown to Ni Yingying.
Ni Yingying never thought that she would be treated like this when she rushed to the scene?
Her face was pale, and she looked at Qingdie, gritting her teeth in anger. Her cheeks wrinkled in pain because of the excessive pain.
"You, you lowly slave!"
Then, there was another "bang", Qingdie grabbed Ni Yingying's head and smashed it hard again without hesitation.
Ni Yingying cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. "Ah, help! Help!"
She had just opened her mouth to scream twice when Yu Fei slapped her in the face.
"Don't think about calling for help here, you will die a more miserable death."
Ni Yingying looked at the two of them as if they were ghosts, it was so scary!
How could these two people treat her like this!
"You, you are too vicious, forcing me to say..."
Before she could finish her words, another slap came whizzing past.
The corner of Ni Yingying's mouth was torn and blood was flowing out.
Yu Fei and Qing Die were staring at her, their eyes full of venom: "Are you going to tell the truth, or continue talking nonsense with us?"
Qingdie's eyes were fierce, and she pulled her hair with force, causing her tears to flow even more wildly due to the pain.
"I, I said..."
"Actually, everything that happened yesterday was done by Yang Wanqing. She asked me to help her, but I refused. But I didn't stop her either. I also know that the princess was involved!"
Qingdie loosened her grip a little: "Why do you refuse? And why did Yang Wanqing kidnap our young lady?"
"Because my eldest sister is the Second Prince's beloved woman. If we capture my eldest sister, we can force the Second Prince to compromise and save the Fourth Prince!"
What Ni Yingying said sounds very reasonable!
Ni Yingying continued with a mournful look on her face, "Also, if you don't believe me, you can wait for the Second Prince to appear. He knows the murderer is from the Fourth Prince's mansion, and the general was seriously injured because of a fight with someone from the Fourth Prince's mansion!"
"Although I hate my elder sister, I really didn't participate this time..."
The strength in Qingdie's palm gradually loosened. She frowned and looked at Yu Fei. She didn't know what Yu Fei was thinking. Did she believe it too?
Yu Fei tore off a piece of fabric from Ni Yingying's clothes. Ni Yingying couldn't help but tremble: "You, what are you doing?"
Yu Fei looked at her with disdain: "Now, write a blood oath to testify against Yang Wanqing and the princess' evil deeds, otherwise don't even think about leaving here alive!"
Ni Yingying's face turned pale, with tears and blood all over her face. Although she was afraid and didn't want to cooperate, she had no way to save herself and could only obediently take the cloth from Yu Fei's hand.
Qingdie let go of the dagger and asked Ni Yingying to write the letter in blood.
The others were still searching for Ni Yueshan, and no one noticed the three women who disappeared together.
Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng, both exhausted, lay on the cliff face. They seemed to be unable to see the end of the cliff below...
"Going down the mountain wall was a wrong decision!" Jing Yuchen said, feeling exhausted and without any strength left.
I looked up at the sky, but couldn't tell what time it was. I only felt that the road of pain was still very long...
"Let's take a good rest and continue when we have enough strength. It's good that there's mountain fog here, so we don't have to worry about running out of water..."
"Are you trying to find joy in misery?" Jing Yuchen looked at him weakly. His arm was soaked in blood and he had long lost consciousness due to the pain.
Shao Lecheng sighed: "If we could find a fruit tree growing halfway up the mountain, perhaps we could alleviate our hunger."
The two of them just felt dizzy, how could they bear it anymore...
At the foot of the cliff, as it was getting dark, everyone began to hold torches and continue searching.
The area under the cliff is too large and desolate. If there were any wild beasts, it is not impossible that they would have taken away Ni Yueshan's body last night!
So when a person is found, it is either a corpse or bones!
The search team spread out further and further, and after nightfall, they discovered a house with candlelight behind the woods. Someone went forward and knocked on the door in surprise.
An elderly couple lived there. When they saw so many torches outside, they knew they were looking for someone...
"Old man, did you see anyone falling from the cliff?"
The old couple looked at each other, and one of them responded, "There are wild animals at the bottom of the cliff after dark. Even if someone fell and survived, they might be carried away by chance!"
"Isn't there a slope next to it? There's a turbulent river below that could wash people away! We don't go there often, so we really can't tell you anything!"
The group holding torches began to sigh. They had originally thought that if they found the person living in seclusion here, they would have a chance to find clues about Ni Yueshan, but it turned out that their excitement was in vain.
"Do many people fall down this cliff?"
"I've seen several women committing suicide for love, and some even fell while collecting herbs! If you can't find her, she's probably gone!"
Afterwards, the old couple closed the door and went into the house to rest.
The searcher sighed, unable to hide his disappointment.
After Qingdie and Yu Fei released Ni Yingying, they took the blood letter. Ni Yingying fled in panic, fearing that the two would go back on their word and take her back.
Yu Fei and Qingdie walked out, but they still couldn't see any trace of Jing Yuchen and Shao Lecheng at the bottom of the cliff. Could it be that they would stay on the cliff for several days and nights before coming down?
"I should have stopped them at that time, otherwise this situation would not have happened!" Yu Fei's face was full of self-blame.
