The crowd rose up to attack and beat Cheng Beinuo to a pulp, with blood streaming from his forehead. "Who will do this again and beat a general of the imperial court?"

A group of soldiers in black armor gathered around and blocked Cheng Beinuo in the middle. They were actually Cheng Beinuo's soldiers, more than twenty of them.

The commander of the imperial army unsheathed his long sword and held it horizontally in front of him, "Don't blame us for being rude if you take half a step forward."

When Mrs. Qiao saw this situation, she became even more angry and cursed: "Cheng Beinuo, you are such a white-eyed wolf. You relied on my Qiao family to gain a foothold in the government, and now you dare to point a knife at me."

Cheng Beinuo wiped the blood stains from his forehead and remained silent, looking straight at Shen Ling upstairs, as if he would risk the world's disapproval to pursue her.

In fact, in his heart, Li Beinuo had scolded Shen Ling countless times and had even thought about how to torture her after he succeeded.

Seeing that Cheng Beinuo didn't say anything to stop him, the commander of the soldiers took out his sword and pointed it directly at Mrs. Qiao.

Mrs. Qiao was forced back by the blade, her chest heaving violently, "Just wait for me! When I find out the truth of the matter, I will make sure you live or die!"

The Qiao family came in an angry manner, and finally left angrily, not realizing that there was another person behind them. This person was none other than the Mist Blade disguised as the Qiao family.

Wu Ren secretly found out the way to the Qiao family, knocked out a guard, and took over his identity.

Wu Ren then picked up the tied up palace maid who was still unconscious and went to see Mrs. Qiao.

"Zhang San, why did you kidnap someone for no reason?"

Zhang San is the name of the guard Wu Ren is now replacing. He pointed to the maid on the ground and said: "Madam, when we went to the restaurant, my subordinates saw the maid winking at General Cheng in the crowd. They felt that this person was wrong, so they took matters into their own hands. After tying the man back, please don’t blame me, madam.”

As he spoke, Zhang San took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mrs. Qiao, "This is what my subordinates found on this woman."

After receiving the letter, Mrs. Qiao looked at the words on it, her face getting darker and darker.

"Go, get a basin of water and wake her up."

Soon, a servant brought a basin of water and poured it on Lu Zhu's body. The biting chill woke her up.

Opening his eyes and seeing many Qiao family members surrounding him, Luzhu swallowed, "Who are you and what do you want to do!"

"This is the Qiao Mansion, what do you want me to do?" Mrs. Qiao showed the letter in front of the palace maid, "What does this letter mean? Cheng Beinuo did everything!"

Lu Zhu flinched, as if remembering Song Xinyu's method of treating disobedient palace servants, she quickly shook her head and denied it.

"I don't know, I'm just a messenger."

Mrs. Qiao snorted coldly, "A messenger? Then why did my people see you commanding Cheng Beinuo in the crowd?"

Lu Zhu's body froze. She didn't expect that this matter would be seen by someone. Her body was shaking more and more violently. Cold water droplets slid down her cheeks, and her whole face was bloodless.

"No slave." Luzhu shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing that Lu Zhu still refused to tell the truth, Mrs. Qiao lost her patience and winked at the housekeeper. The housekeeper understood and brought the things from the house that were used to punish the servants.

Two young men in short jackets immediately held down Lu Zhu, and another woman took out a scorpion to put on Lu Zhu's hand.

"Let me go!" Lu Zhu was so frightened that she kept struggling, but her slight strength could not shake the two boys who were holding her down.

The quilt was put on, and the woman exerted force, and a heartbreaking pain suddenly came from Luzhu's fingers. She raised her neck uncontrollably and screamed uncontrollably.

"I ask you, is my daughter's death related to Song Xinyu?"

"I don't know this. Please let me go, madam."

Mrs. Qiao sneered, "The mouth is quite tough. Get the pliers and I will break off her teeth one by one."

When the servants of the Qiao family saw that their usually gentle mistress had turned into such a crazy state, they did not dare to disobey and quickly fetched the pliers.

Picking up the pliers, Mrs. Qiao grabbed Lu Zhu's collar and said, "Give you another chance, do you say it or not? Don't think that I dare not touch you because you are Song Xinyu's maid. With my status in the Qiao family,

If you, a palace maid, die, how can your master save you?"

"I said, I said!" Lu Zhu was frightened for a while, looking at the dark pliers full of fear, "It's the princess! The princess prepared a glass of poisonous wine for Miss Qiao to drink. Miss Qiao didn't want to, so Cheng Beinuo

I took the wine glass and poured the poisoned wine into Miss Qiao myself."

After learning the truth, Mrs. Qiao was furious and threw Luzhu to the ground, "Song Xinyu, this vicious woman! My poor daughter, my poor daughter!"

When Wu Ren saw this scene, he knew that the relationship between the Qiao family and Song Xinyu had been forged. He had already completed the tasks Shen Ling had asked him to do, and left the Qiao residence quietly.

Returning to Shen Ling, Wu Ren told Shen Ling everything that had happened.

Shen Ling smiled faintly and looked at Cheng Beinuo with strange eyes. The seeds of hatred had been planted. It was up to the Qiao family to make it take root and sprout.

At this time, Cheng Beinuo had been kneeling downstairs for two hours, and all the people passing by had lost interest in him.

Shen Ling leaned on the railing, feeling sluggish from the sun and lacking in interest.

"I'm tired of it, it's time to tease him in another way." Shen Ling smiled like a flower and walked downstairs gracefully.

Cheng Beinuo, who was kneeling downstairs with numb legs, saw anticipation in Shen Ling's eyes when she came down, and thought he had successfully moved her.

"Okay, I forgive you, you can get up."

Shen Ling took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on Cheng Beinuo's forehead, and said angrily: "Look at you, you didn't fight back even after being beaten, and you ended up like this."

Cheng Beinuo looked serious, "You didn't let me get up, how dare I fight back."

After hearing this, Shen Ling sneered in her heart. Cheng Beinuo was probably the only one in the capital who could mistook lies for people to this extent.

Seeing that there seemed to be a smile on Shen Ling's face, Cheng Beinuo thought he had gained her favor.

"Good performance, let's go."

Shen Ling took a quick step and walked out. Seeing this, Cheng Beinuo quickly followed, "Ling'er, where are we going?"

"Go to the doctor to check your injury and bandage it. You are so miserable after all the trouble. How can you go shopping with me later?"

Cheng Beinuo was secretly happy that Shen Ling actually asked him to accompany her shopping. Thinking about the humiliation he received today, it was true that hard work paid off.

After finding a medical clinic nearby, Shen Ling asked the doctor to simply bandage Cheng Beinuo's injury. Then Cheng Beinuo walked around the streets with Shen Ling with gauze on his head.

The carriage of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion came slowly from the other end of the bustling street. Jing Si raised the curtain and saw Shen Ling through the crowded crowd.
