Chapter 111 Peace of mind
Chapter 111 Peace of mind
Huo Chengjun cried for a while, and then calmed down a little, but a cruel look flashed in her eyes: "Mom, where are those two bastards?"
Mrs. Huo gave a wink, and the two men were immediately brought in front of Huo Chengjun.
It was still dark and there were no lights on in the house. Huo Chengjun could not see their faces clearly in the darkness.
Under the dim candlelight, one could see their cheeks flushed, their bodies tied up, and they were struggling, clearly under the influence of drugs.
What shocked Huo Chengjun even more was that these two people were the ones she sent to destroy Su Rao's reputation!
He disappeared inexplicably during the day, so why did he appear on his bed at night?
What kind of bizarre conspiracy is hidden behind this?
Huo Chengjun hated them to the core, but was eager to uncover the truth, so she could only suppress her anger.
"Bring some cold water and pour them down to wake them up. I have something to ask you."
At the command, the servants immediately brought cold water and poured it on the faces of the two men.
With the impact of the cold water, the eyes of the two gradually regained clarity.
"Miss...Miss!" The two looked extremely surprised.
Huo Chengjun dismissed everyone else, leaving only Mrs. Huo, and then began to question them harshly.
"Is this how you complete the task I assigned to you?" Huo Chengjun's voice was as cold as ice.
"I followed the young lady's instructions and led the woman to the courtyard. Just as I was about to take action, I suddenly lost consciousness..."
"Yes, we were here when we woke up. Please forgive us, miss!" The two begged, obviously not expecting the consequences to be so serious.
"Someone come here." Huo Chengjun called out coldly.
Two servants quickly responded.
"Drag them away and torture them slowly until their bones break." Huo Chengjun's tone was cold and ruthless.
The two were terrified and screamed for mercy: "Miss, spare my life!"
"It's too noisy. Cut off your tongue first and don't disturb the peace and quiet here." Huo Chengjun said with a frown.
Following an order, the two men were dragged out forcibly, their mouths were cut by sharp blades, blood dripped from the corners of their mouths, leaving only empty silence.
Mrs. Huo walked out of the room and looked at the servants coldly: "If anyone dares to leak a word of what happened today, you will have your skin peeled off!"
The servants were all trembling, and fear enveloped everyone.
Inside the house, Huo Chengjun wanted to find something to vent her anger, but found nothing. Finally, she could only kick a pillar angrily, making a loud "bang" sound, venting her inner unwillingness and anger.
The pillar was as solid as a rock, without any shaking, but her ankle felt as if it was pricked by a needle, and severe pain spread instantly.
Mrs. Huo frowned slightly, and said with dignity, "That's enough. Don't make any more trouble. If what happened tonight gets out, it will be shameful for everyone."
Huo Chengjun's eyes were red and bloodshot, full of grievance and resentment: "Mother, it was that vicious woman who wanted to attack me!"
Mrs. Huo was also extremely surprised and couldn't believe it.
Su Rao, a weak woman, how could she have such means?
Is there an unknown master hiding behind her?
Su Rao knew very well that this night would be extremely torturous for Huo Chengjun.
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of pleasure of revenge in her heart, and so her dreams that night were particularly sweet.
The moon was hanging in the sky, shining silvery light. The door opened silently, and a dark figure walked in slowly. The moonlight outlined his tall figure and handsome and cold face.
Prince Yi frowned, his eyes deep as he looked at the woman sleeping on the couch.
Her black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, her small face was as white as snow, her eyes were closed with long eyelashes like fans, and her red lips were slightly parted, tempting you to commit a crime.
Prince Yi stared at her with mixed feelings. He knew full well the injustice she had suffered, but due to his status, he could do nothing about it.
This feeling of powerlessness was like a vine, entwining his heart and making him uneasy.
His mind told him that he should not set foot here, but his steps unconsciously stopped in front of her door.
He gazed at her sleeping face greedily, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his heart forever.
The morning light was just breaking, and the air was filled with the elegant scent of sandalwood. Su Rao woke up slowly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She knew he had been here.
This realization quietly warmed her heart.
She stood up and fixed her makeup, and soon Su Yi stepped into the room.
"Rao'er, accompany me for a walk in the temple." Su Yi spoke sincerely, but in fact he was worried that Su Rao would become the target of Huo Chengjun's scheme again.
What happened yesterday still makes people feel frightened.
Su Rao had no intention of creating any more trouble, so to comfort Su Yi, she walked with her in the ancient temple.
While walking, a hollow bamboo ball suddenly hit Su Rao's back.
Turning around to look for it, I saw that it was just a light object.
Therefore, although he was hit, he did not feel any pain at all.
Su Rao picked up the ball and looked around, only to see a young head popping out from the top of the wall.
She was a little girl of about five or six years old, with a round face full of childishness, bright eyes sparkling with curiosity, and two pigtails jumping happily with her movements. She was very cute, but her face was a little pale and sickly.
Noticing Su Rao's gaze, she shyly retracted her head.
After a moment, she leaned out again, staring at the ball in Su Rao's hand.
Su Rao took a few steps forward and gently handed the ball to the little girl.
The girl deftly hooked her fingers around the rope on the ball, swiftly retracted it, and then quickly hid behind the wall.
Su Rao took a few steps forward and when she turned back, she saw her peeking again.
After repeating this over and over again, the two of them actually established a wonderful tacit understanding until Su Rao gradually moved away.
"That's Princess Changle." Su Yi introduced softly.
Su Rao already had a guess in her mind; her identity as a princess was self-evident from her age, clothing, and slightly weak physique.
"The princess is weak, and the eldest princess takes good care of her, fearing that anything might go wrong." Su Yi added.
The eldest princess's overprotection made the little princess's world small, and her yearning and curiosity about the outside world became a bright spot in her heart.
The afternoon sun was lazily shining, and Su Rao went to the courtyard alone. When she looked up, she saw the little princess looking out, her eyes full of anticipation.
When she saw Su Rao, her eyes suddenly lit up and she threw the bamboo ball in her hand to Su Rao.
Su Rao caught the ball, and then she threw it back. The two of them chatted back and forth, and their laughter echoed in the air. The little princess' face was filled with a bright smile, no longer as shy as when they first met.
"Princess, how can you climb so high?" A cry of surprise broke the joy.
A trace of disappointment flashed across the little princess's face. She waved goodbye to Su Rao and then disappeared over the wall, without even having time to take back the slightly worn bamboo ball from Su Rao's hand.
Looking at the white bamboo ball, Su Rao knew very well that this small toy carried the deep love of Princess Changle.
The princess left and the ball can only be returned tomorrow.
On the other side of the wall, Princess Changle was held tightly in the arms of her nurse. The nurse carefully checked her and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was fine.
Princess, please be careful and don't let the princess worry." The nurse said earnestly.
