Chapter 149 Now that Miss already knows, what else does she want me to say?
It is not difficult to find out about the entanglement between Prince Su and Chu Nanxin.
On the day of the Flower Brocade Pavilion, although Chu Nanxin covered her face with a veil, some people still saw a woman board the carriage of the Prince Su's mansion and be sent back to the Chu family.
Gu Chengyan gripped the intelligence report tightly in his hand, the paper twisted and deformed. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot and red, like an enraged beast, wishing he could tear everything in front of him to shreds.
Chu Nanxin cheated on him, and he was even coerced by that adulterer into keeping the illegitimate child in her womb.
This feeling of humiliation was so intense that it made him extremely frustrated!
What Gu Chengyan could find out, Chu Ruohan could naturally also find out.
Did Aunt Fang and her daughter really think that by attaching themselves to Prince Su, they could rest easy from then on?
All men care about is offspring. Once the child is born, will Chu Nanxin have any chance of survival?
What man would dare to marry such a promiscuous woman?
Since Chu Ruohan is determined to seek her own death, then of course we should grant her wish...
With a creak, the carved wooden door was gently pushed open, and Song Ruyan walked in. "Young Madam."
Chu Ruohan turned around upon hearing the voice, "How is that beggar?"
Song Ruyan replied, "The knife missed by an inch, but fortunately, Doctor Qian's medical skills were superb, and he was pulled back from the brink of death..."
Chu Ruohan nodded gently, then instructed, "Go and bring Xiangxiang here. Be careful. If you can't catch her quietly, use some medicine. Make sure you don't alert anyone else."
Xiangxiang and Fangruo were Aunt Fang's right-hand women, and Xiangxiang was the one who secretly did many things.
On the surface, Aunt Fang trusts Fang Ruo the most, but secretly, Xiang Xiang is her trump card...
Song Ruyan accepted the order and went to find Doctor Qian.
Chu Ruohan sat in the room, the candlelight flickering, casting her face in and out of the light, making the cold smile on her lips even more chilling.
Shortly after, faint footsteps echoed in the courtyard. Chu Ruohan knew that Song Ruyan had succeeded.
Xiangxiang was carelessly left on the ground and remained unconscious, clearly having been drugged.
Chu Ruohan reached out and grabbed the unfinished tea on the table, splashing it all over her face with a "splash".
The person woke up.
The moment Xiangxiang regained consciousness, she met Chu Ruohan's eyes, which were like a cold pool, and her heart skipped a beat.
She instinctively flinched, but forced herself to remain calm, and called out in a hoarse voice, "Young Miss, why did you capture me?"
Chu Ruohan curled a cold smile at the corner of her lips and did not respond. She simply stared at Xiangxiang quietly, her eyes seemingly able to see through her every thought.
The atmosphere inside the room was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe; only the crackling sound of the burning candlelight stood out starkly in the silence.
After a long silence, Chu Ruohan finally spoke, her voice icy: "Xiangxiang, you're quite composed."
She stood up, slowly walked over to Xiangxiang, and looked down at her. "You've been following Aunt Fang around, haven't you? You've helped her do a lot of evil things, haven't you?"
Xiangxiang lowered her head, but still pretended to be calm and said, "What are you saying, Miss? I am just a maid who serves others. Of course, I will do whatever my master tells me to do."
Chu Ruohan snorted coldly: "Even at this point, you're still being stubborn?"
With a wave of her hand, Song Ruyan immediately stepped forward and placed a tray on the table. On the tray were several instruments of torture, which emitted a chilling light in the candlelight.
“These things should be familiar to you, right?” Chu Ruohan picked up a slender silver needle and gently played with it in her hand. “I have plenty of ways to make you tell the truth.”
Some of these things were prepared by Song Ruyan. To be honest, she didn't know what they were for, but these martial arts people...
Xiangxiang's face turned pale instantly, but she still gritted her teeth and remained silent.
Seeing that Xiangxiang still refused to budge, Chu Ruohan's eyes grew even colder, and she gently placed the silver needles back on the tray.
Instead, he picked up a sharp knife and tapped it lightly between his fingertips, making a "tap-tap" sound that seemed particularly eerie in the quiet and oppressive room.
"Xiangxiang, do you think you can handle this?" Chu Ruohan's voice seemed to be covered with frost. "Aunt Fang and Chu Ang are having an affair. The child in her belly and Chu Nanxin are both Chu Ang's children."
Hearing this, Xiangxiang showed no sign of panic. Instead, a smile appeared on her lips. "Since Miss already knows, what else would you like me to say?"
"Where is Chu Ang?" Chu Ruohan didn't want to beat around the bush with her anymore.
"This servant does not know."
"Besides Prince Su, does Consort Fang have any other tricks up her sleeve?"
"Aunt Fang is always cautious in her actions. Why would she easily tell me such an important matter?"
She acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.
Seeing this, Chu Ruohan gave Song Ruyan a wink.
Song Ruyan understood immediately, stepped forward, grabbed Xiangxiang's hair, and pulled her head back hard, forcing her to look directly at Chu Ruohan.
"Since you won't say anything, I'll start with your mouth."
As Chu Ruohan spoke, she slowly brought the knife close to Xiangxiang's lips. The sharp blade gleamed coldly in the candlelight, startling Xiangxiang so much that her pupils contracted sharply.
Just as the knife was about to touch Xiangxiang's lips, Xiangxiang suddenly found strength from somewhere, shook her head, broke free from Song Ruyan's grasp, and rolled backward, putting some distance between herself and Chu Ruohan.
"Catch her."
Once people get close to the Hongmeng Academy, they are like tigers in a cage, unable to cause any trouble.
It was because Song Ruyan underestimated her that she was able to break free.
One accident after another happened to her, and Song Ruyan was furious. If word got out, wouldn't she lose all face?
Song Ruyan darted forward, grabbed Xiangxiang's arm tightly, and twisted it forcefully. With a "crack," Xiangxiang's arm dislocated, causing her to scream in pain.
"You dare to run? I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Song Ruyan shouted angrily and kicked Xiangxiang in the back of the knee. Xiangxiang's legs went weak and she knelt on the ground with a thud.
Song Ruyan did not stop there. She grabbed Xiangxiang's hair with both hands, lifted her head up, and then swung her fists, giving Xiangxiang a good beating in the face.
Each punch was accompanied by a muffled groan of pain from Xiangxiang.
Blood soon spilled from Xiangxiang's lips, and her cheeks swelled up quickly, turning her once pretty face into a bluish-purple mess.
It feels pretty good to be used as a punching bag...
"Say or not?"
Xiangxiang was so badly beaten that she saw stars, but she still gritted her teeth and refused to speak.
"Fine, you've got guts!" Song Ruyan said, and punched Xiangxiang in the stomach again. Xiangxiang curled up in pain, cold sweat pouring down her face.
Chu Ruohan stood aside, coldly observing everything, her eyes showing no pity whatsoever.
"Keep hitting her until she's willing to talk."
Having received the order, Song Ruyan became even more ruthless.
The room was filled with the dull thuds of fists hitting flesh...
Aunt Fang really did raise a good dog?
She really thought that as long as she refused to tell, Chu Ruohan would have no way to deal with her...
