Why would a princess make things difficult for a maid?
Xing Yue was about to ask when Su Ruojin interrupted her, "Miss Xing, it's not that I don't trust you or don't want to talk about it, but there are some things you might not be good for you if you know too much."
Since Fifth Brother dared to bring her to see Xing Yue, he must trust Xing Yue. However, since this matter involves Yan Gang and the Second Prince, Su Ruojin must also be careful.
Xing Yue was also very clever and immediately understood Su Ruojin's meaning. She stopped asking for the reason and said, "I'll have someone investigate right away."
"Thank you, Miss Xing."
"Princess, you're too kind." Xing Yue was quite direct, putting down her teacup and getting up to take her leave.
After Xing Yue left, Su Ruojin looked at Su Yiting with a half-smile, "Fifth Brother, good luck!"
Su Yiting blushed, "What do you know, you little girl?"
Su Ruojin smiled and said nothing more.
Xing Yue acted quickly, arriving at the Zhao residence that afternoon.
"The person is in the water dungeon of Princess Anxing's Aoyue Manor."
Water dungeon!
Su Ruojin clenched her fists and actually locked Qin Niang and Ying Zi in the water dungeon!
Xing Yue noticed the anger in Su Ruojin's eyes and quickly asked, "Do you need any help?"
Su Ruojin shook her head. "No need. I have my own arrangements. You must not get involved in this matter."
Xing Yue is, after all, the daughter of General Yun Qi, while the other party is the eldest princess of Yun Qi. If she is accidentally discovered to be involved, it will implicate the entire general's mansion.
"Aoyue Manor is heavily guarded. How are you going to rescue them?"
Xing Yue was a little worried. Not to mention that she had a good impression of this Chang Le County Lord before, now that she was Su Yiting's sister, Xing Yue felt even closer to Su Ruojin.
"How about I sneak in and steal them out?" Xing Yue suggested.
"You can't go. Don't worry, I'll find a way." Su Ruojin refused. As long as she knew where the person was, with An Yi and the others there, how could she not be rescued?
Seeing Su Ruojin's attitude, Xing Yue stopped insisting and took out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Su Ruojin, "This is a map of Aoyue Manor. Having this will make things easier for you. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
Su Ruojin took the topographic map, which detailed the layout of Aoyue Manor, with a red circle marking the location of the water dungeon.
"Thank you, Miss Xing. This diagram makes things much easier for us." Su Ruojin hadn't expected Xing Yue to be so thoughtful, even preparing this.
Xing Yue smiled and said, "Princess Anxing's Aoyue Manor is not a secret place. Before she became pregnant, she often held various banquets there, so it was not difficult to get a map of the area."
Xing Yue initially thought this matter would be difficult to handle. If Princess Anxing wanted to deliberately hide someone, it would be hard to find them in a short time.
Unexpectedly, Princess Anxing simply locked people up in her own estate. Her people quickly found the place where Qinniang and her daughter were being held. It seems that Princess Anxing was not afraid of being discovered at all.
Xing Yue even had a feeling that Princess Anxing seemed to be deliberately trying to be discovered.
As night fell, Su Ruojin and An Yi, An Er, and An San arrived at Aoyue Manor.
An Yi didn't want his master to come and take the risk, but Su Ruojin was worried and insisted on coming, so he had no choice but to compromise.
With the help of the topographical map, the four quickly found the dungeon and went to the ventilation shaft to investigate.
Seeing the scene inside the water prison through the ventilation grille, Su Ruojin's pupils constricted slightly.
Qinniang was seen hanging in the air in a cross shape, suspended by iron chains, with her legs and below completely submerged in water.
Besides, her body was covered in whip marks, and the blood mixed with water stains made her look like a blood-soaked person.
At this moment, Qin Niang's hair was wet and messy, and her head was tilted to one side without moving. It was impossible to tell whether she was alive or dead.
Su Ruojin looked at Qin Niang's side again, and her pupils suddenly dilated!
How dare they!!!
