"Don't be afraid, Xiang 'er. Everything will happen in the blink of an eye. You and I will meet your mother and brother on the way to hell."
Zhu Qiyun could only sigh helplessly at the innocent child.
Unavoidably, his heart was a little shaken.
"In that case, let's send Miss Zhu to hell."
Zhu Qiyun had thought that as a woman, she would soften a little.
Little did he expect that she would be so heartless as to not hesitate at all.
"Father! Father! Xiang 'er is scared! Xiang 'er is scared! "
Two strong manservants lifted up a seven or eight-year-old girl in a blink of an eye. Zhu Qiyun's heart ached when he saw this.
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
"Let my daughter go! Let her go! Xiang 'er, my Xiang' er! "
Zhu Qiyun wanted to break free from the hands of the servants behind him, but he was too old to break free from the hands of the young men.
He watched as one of the servants pried open Zhu Xiang 'er's mouth and tried to feed the red poison to his daughter without mercy.
At this moment, Zhu Qiyun finally gave in.
"Your Highness! I know I was wrong. I'm willing to serve you! I beg you, please let my daughter go! "
Zhu Qiyun gave in. Lin Mengya waved her hand and the servant immediately put the pill back on the plate.
"Lord Zhu, if you knew this would happen, why did you do it? Men, take Miss Zhu away. Don't neglect her. "
Zhu Xiang 'er, who was frightened, did not know where they were taking her.
She struggled and screamed, but was still taken out of the woodshed.
He looked at his daughter's tear-stained face, but at this moment, her fate was in the hands of others. At this moment, Zhu Qiyun seemed to have aged a few decades.
"Xiang 'er, my Xiang' er … Your Highness, I, Zhu Qiyun, have never bowed down to anyone in my life. But I hope you can keep your promise and stop making things difficult for my daughter! "
Zhu Qiyun could exchange his son for a better future, but he could not bear to lose his daughter.
Lin Mengya felt that there must be something fishy about this.
Since he had grasped his weak spot, then wasn't it up to him to knead him flat and round?
"Of course. However, there's something I don't understand. Since you can't bear to part with your daughter, why did you abandon your son and frame me? "
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyun looked at Lin Mengya in a daze.
It was as if he didn't quite understand what she meant.
Could it be —
"Didn't you guys beat my son to death? He died. Now that I'm your prisoner, Your Highness, why are you making fun of me with these words? "
Zhu Qiyun looked a little angry, but it didn't seem like he was acting.
"Lord Zhu, be it Prince Yu, Prince Shen, or me. Do you think we are the kind of people who have no sense of propriety? That's right, your son spoke rudely to me back then. But I've just arrived at the old capital, how could I possibly get into trouble? At that time, in your son's eyes, it was just a physical injury. If he were to meditate and recuperate, he would return to normal in less than half a year. If not for your ruthlessness, I'm afraid there would be one more corpse in the Zhu Family now. "
Lin Mengya's words were so harsh that even Zhu Qiyun's face darkened at this moment.
However, at this moment, it was no longer important whether the son of the Zhu Family was killed by his father.
"Come in."
Before Lin Mengya finished her words, a few people came in from outside. They were holding a few white porcelain jars in their hands.
"These are the ashes of the members of the Zhu Family. Lord Zhu, my ability is limited. In order to close the case, the governor of the old capital had ordered his men to burn the corpses together. My men can only find this much. Oh yes, all the belongings of your family have been confiscated. Now, there are only three of you left in the Zhu Family. Lord Zhu, you're on your own. "
Lin Mengya was not in a hurry to propose a collaboration with Zhu Qiyun. Moreover, this matter needed to be discussed at length.
Now, many eyes in the old capital were staring at her.
If she made any movements, she would not be able to hide it from others.
Therefore, even if Zhu Qiyun was willing to cooperate. She had to use this sharp blade in the right place.
She turned around and left. There would be a suitable person to arrange their accommodation.
With Zhu Xiang 'er by her side, Zhu Qiyun and Zhu Jiajing would not dare to commit suicide.
These few days were critical for her and Long Tianhao to recover from their injuries. More importantly, Zuo Qiuyu was going to participate in the medical skills competition held by the Chief Elder of the Pavilion of Herbs.
With so many things pressing down on her, she would have to spend a lot of effort, more or less.
"Your Highness, the little girl is crying all the time. She's making a fuss about wanting to see her family. Your Highness, what do you think … "
Lin Mengya had just returned to the courtyard when an old maid came to report to her.
Judging from the old maid's troubled expression, she must have known that the little girl had a special identity. She could not be beaten or scolded.
Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment, but still followed the old maid to the room where Zhu Xiang 'er was being held.
Before entering the room, she could hear the little girl's heart-wrenching cries.
Lin Mengya could not help but frown.
She was not suitable to deal with children.
"Go away! I want to see my father! I want to see my mother! Go away, you're all bad people. Go away! "
For a child of seven or eight years old to go through such a thing at her age, she must have been traumatized.
However, as the daughter of the Zhu family, she had to bear the consequences of her father's ambition.
If not for the fact that Lin Mengya was not a vicious person, she would not have the energy to throw a tantrum.
Standing at the door, Lin Mengya looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the floor and a cold look flashed across her eyes.
"Men, pick up the broken porcelain pieces one by one. Count them for me. Give her father a whip for every one of them. "
Lin Mengya's indifferent voice made Zhu Xiang 'er stop crying immediately.
He looked at Lin Mengya with fear in his big watery eyes. He was afraid that this scary woman would come up with another trick.
"You … you let go of my father and cousin! You're a bad woman! "
Although the little girl was seven or eight years old, she was not considered small. But among children of the same age, he wasn't considered small.
She rushed up to Lin Mengya and was about to punch her with her little fists.
"If you dare to touch me, I'll return the favor to your father ten times over."
Lin Mengya was indeed Lin Mengya. Even in the face of a child, she was still threatening.
Zhu Xiang 'er's hand paused in mid-air and she looked at Lin Mengya with hatred in her eyes. In the end, she calmed down under Lin Mengya's calm eyes.
"Sit down."
Lin Mengya walked around the broken porcelain pieces and sat down gracefully at the table in the room.
Zhu Xiang 'er glared at Lin Mengya with hatred. After thinking for a while, she followed behind Lin Mengya and sat down opposite her.
"Do you hate me?"
Zhu Xiang 'er nodded. Even the most detestable old maid in the mansion was a hundred times better than this woman in front of her.
"Do you know what hate is? Zhu Xiang 'er, do you know why I only asked someone to save you out of all the sisters you have? "
Zhu Xiang 'er was stumped by Lin Mengya's question, but she soon got the answer.
"That's because you're the smartest among these girls. However, smart people often do not end up well. You may not understand what I'm saying now. However, a daughter born from a mere servant girl was able to receive the most favor from Zhu Qiyun. I don't think you're an ordinary child. You're not that simple. "
The information about Zhu Xiang 'er was recorded clearly in the Shen Nung system.
She looked like she was only seven or eight years old, but she was already ten years old.
Moreover, she was just the child of a nameless fireplace maid.
At the age of five, she could recite poems. At the age of eight, she could help Lord Zhu make decisions and take care of the house.
Later on, Zhu Qiyun treated her like a precious treasure. No matter where he went, he would bring Zhu Xiang 'er with him.
Therefore, compared to other children who only knew how to cry, Zhu Xiang 'er was much more useful. Keeping Zhu Xiang 'er around would be much more useful.
"What … what do you want?"
Lin Mengya had not expected Zhu Xiang 'er to mature so early.
However, she was able to calm down so quickly. The calm and collected look on her little face made Lin Mengya curious about her.
"What I want to do is simple, and I'm sure your father can help me achieve it. But Zhu Xiang 'er, the Zhu Family has been destroyed. You're no longer the daughter of a rich family. Remember what I said. Tears are the most lethal weapon in the hands of a smart woman. But in the hands of a stupid woman, tears are the talisman of her own death. Remember the hatred you have for me. If you manage to survive this, I welcome you to seek revenge. "
Lin Mengya believed that with what happened earlier as an example, Zhu Xiang 'er would not cry and throw a tantrum.
Lin Mengya believed that this smart girl would not cry and throw a tantrum again.
When she returned to her courtyard, the moon was already high up in the sky.
"You're finally back, Sister. If you didn't come back, Long Tianhao would have starved me to death. "
The moment she entered the room, Zuo Qiuyu looked at her with a pitiful expression.
The table was filled with delicious dishes, but both Long Tianhao and Zuo Qiuyu were sitting upright and still.
It was as if the food in front of them was not food, but a memorial. Indeed, they looked a little funny.
"Haven't you eaten?"
As she sat at the table, someone passed her a bowl and a pair of chopsticks.
Zuo Qiuyu nodded vigorously and his eyes seemed to be glowing. It was obvious that he was famished.
"Alright, let's eat. Long Tianhao, you should eat too."
Long Tianhao nodded his head gently. Then, he picked up Lin Mengya's favorite dish and put it in her bowl.
