After Wen Mohan finished speaking, he ordered his servants to watch him being punished to kneel, and he returned to the house with a cold face.
In the woodshed in the backyard.
Lingqiao was awakened by a basin of cold water. When she opened her eyes, she saw Qingmei sitting in front of her, with her legs crossed and a cold smile on her face.
"You...what do you want to do?" Lingqiao was shivering with cold, and her lips turned purple.
Qingmei was playing with a thick iron needle in her hand, leaning back in a lazy and casual manner, and said in a lazy voice:
"Do you see the iron needle in my hand? As the saying goes, your fingers are connected to your heart. If I stick it in your nails, the pain will be piercing."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yun Jian's body shook, and the look he gave Tie Zhen became filled with fear.
She didn't understand why she was tied up here when she was just here to deliver some silver bills?
"We don't know each other, why do you treat me like this?" Lingqiao asked in confusion.
Qingmei stood up, walked over to her, squatted down, raised her hand and slapped her, saying: "Just because you are Jiang Mengli's maid, as long as you answer some of my questions honestly, you won't have to suffer."
The iron needle was very cold. She could feel the pain of the needle tip piercing her skin. She didn't dare to move to prevent it from piercing her deeper.
She was so nervous that she broke out in a cold sweat, and her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Qingmei narrowed her eyes and asked directly, "Did your master keep some very precious things for the prince?"
Lingqiao denied it with a confused look on her face. "How is that possible? They're divorced, so they naturally wouldn't keep anything for the prince. The young lady's house was burned down, so where could they keep any precious things?"
She knew nothing about those three things.
After all, it is too valuable, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Qingmei didn't believe it, "It must be with her. As her personal maid, you can't be unaware of it. Think carefully, what valuables did she take with her when you left the palace?"
Valuables?
Lingqiao thought carefully and couldn't remember any valuables.
She finally shook her head and said, "No, my lady didn't ask for any compensation when she divorced. She just took her clothes and left. She didn't have any other valuables."
"You're just being stubborn!" Qingmei's eyes narrowed, and he quickly and fiercely stabbed the personal weapon into the gap between the nails of her left thumb.
The piercing pain made Lingqiao scream, her face turned frighteningly pale, and her whole body trembled like crazy.
Seeing that the sound was too loud, Qingmei quickly stuffed the handkerchief into her mouth to prevent her from making any louder noise that could be heard by others.
Lingqiao could only make a "mmm" sound and was about to faint from the pain.
After a while, Qingmei took the handkerchief out of her mouth and asked, "Tell me the truth, where did she put that thing?"
"Miss, I don't... I don't have the three things you mentioned." Lingqiao's tears were streaming down her face, but she still insisted that she didn't know.
Seeing this, Qingmei stuffed a handkerchief into her mouth and pulled out the iron needle from her nail.
“Ah…!” Lingqiao’s face turned pale with pain and her body trembled.
Before she could recover, the iron needle pierced into the gap between her index finger nails again.
This time she couldn't hold on any longer and fainted from the pain. The blood from her fingertips dripped onto the ground, bright red and glaring.
Qingmei glanced at him with disdain and said, "Oh, you fainted after just two injections. How hypocritical."
As he said this, he scooped up water with a gourd ladle and poured it on the table.
Puff...cough cough...
Lingqiao was woken up again by the splashing water and started coughing non-stop due to the choking.
Qingmei became a little impatient, "Say it or not!"
She shook her head cleverly, "I... don't know, I won't know even if I'm beaten to death! You bad woman will be struck by lightning. If the lady knew you treated me like this, she wouldn't let you go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a loud slap landed on her face. As if this was not enough to vent her anger, Qingmei stepped on her face and crushed it a few times.
The force on the foot was quite strong and the sound of bones could be heard.
ah……
"You...let me go..." Lingqiao spoke with difficulty, blood flowing from his mouth.
Qingmei sneered, "Your young lady is just a divorced wife, the daughter of a guilty minister. What can she do to me? Even if she knows a little bit of martial arts, she can't be my opponent."
"If she dares to come here, I can let her stay here with you until you and your servant confess the truth!"
Now she had no intention of letting Lingqiao leave this place alive. After crushing her for a few breaths, she released her foot and continued to ask, "Are you sure you still don't want to tell me?"
Lingqiao spoke weakly and with difficulty, "I have no idea what you're talking about. How can I answer? You can kill me or chop me up as you please. Don't waste your breath asking questions."
Even if she knew, she couldn't say it out loud.
She would rather die than betray her master.
Qingmei was a little angry. She stood up and said coldly, "Don't expect your master to save you. She has already left. I will give you two quarters of an hour to think about it. If you don't tell me, I will send you to hell."
As he spoke, he pulled the iron needle out of her index finger, wiped the blood off with his clothes deftly, and put it inside his sleeve.
Lingqiao fell to the ground in pain, his body shaking violently.
At this moment she was cold and in pain, and was in great pain.
After Qingmei left, she struggled to crawl towards the window, but the window was very high and her hands and feet were tied.
"Help, help..." She could only shout for help with all her might, hoping someone could hear her.
At this time, Jiang Mengli had already returned to the clinic, but there was no agile figure around.
A-Gump was seeing a patient at the moment. After the patient left, he asked curiously, "Master, why are you looking around breathlessly?"
"Lingqiao, I'm looking for Lingqiao." Jiang Mengli looked away and frowned, asking, "Has she come back?"
