Chapter 229 Baizhi Suffered Torture

Lin ngya prided herself for her kind treatnt towards her servants in the courtyard, but little did she expect that there would still be a spy and traitor among them.

Nevertheless, she had to continue with her act. She would co back to settle debts in future.

The commotion in the house eventually died down.

The onlookers outside the house dispersed.

In a while, a small head popped out of the door of the main hall.

Baiji scanned the surrounding for a mont and went back into the main hall.

“Master, there’s no one left outside the house. What’s the next step?”

As they circumvented the broken pieces of ceramic the mirror, they found it quite a distressing sight although Lin ngya had kept the more valuable items beforehand.

Lin ngya pondered for a mont, took a sip of tea and said, “For our next step, we shall wait for them to co to us. Why do you think I made such a scene?”

Lin ngya narrowed her eyes and she pondered. She gathered from Baiji that lately, Yunruo had been staying by Concubine De’s side all the ti.

However, from Lin ngya’s observation today, she seed to have faded into the background. In fact, she seed to be deliberately trying to stay inconspicuous in front of people so as to stay as invisible as possible.

Nevertheless, Lin ngya was able to pick up the scent of the sa species.

She had a hard ti getting rid of Jiang Ruqin, and now what was she to do with this Yun Ruo?

“Baisu, go and protect Baizhi for now. Bear in mind not to make any move unless her life is endangered, do you understand?”

Imdiately Baisu nodded in response. Having spend a considerable ti with Lin ngya, Baisu had definitely picked up Lin ngya’s wittiness.

“What are you thinking about, Xiaoyu?” asked Lin ngya when she turned to see Lin Zhongyu.

He was almost a full grown demon by now, yet he was increasingly gentle and mild.

She had been so busy with her own affairs that it seed that this unbending young man who only knew how to guard her by standing in front of her, had transford into an outstanding youth.

Standing by the window and looking contemplative, there was a tinge of femininity on his handso profile.

The pair of long, narrow eyes of his seed to be exude powerful light waves which gave people a suffocatingly attractive feeling.

His lean and tall figure was cladded in a plain robe and he was wearing a white, jade lily crown on his head. His long, black hair fell on both sides of his cheeks. There was this charm about him which attracted both female and male to him.

Compared to the flirtatious Mr. Rosa Multiflora, Xiaoyu’s countenance was much more delicate and elegant.

Nevertheless, the two n exuberated a similar alluring attraction.

Perhaps it ran in their family.

“Nothing, I just thought that your room was almost empty and I want to get sothing to fill up the void.”

Lin Zhongyu turned around, wearing a friendly smile on his red lips.

Lin ngya suddenly felt that Xiaoyu was still the sa Xiaoyu she had known. Although he had matured, his smile was a definite sign of their intimate relationship.

However, the eaglet would one day soar into the sky when it grew up.

However, Lin ngya could not shake off the feeling of guilt towards him.

She was the one who pulled him out of Willow Gang so he left behind a life making a living through extortion.

Little did she expect the life without having to worry about food and shelter which she provided for him turned out to be an even more precarious one.

“It’s alright. In a few days, I would like to bring on a trip to the Lin Family. I’d like my father to make you his god son, so you can beco part of the Lin Family genealogy. What do you think?”

She had been thinking over this matter for a long ti.

Although the people in the prince’s mansion were not aware of his real identity, thinking that Xiaoyu was Lin ngya’s cousin, Xiaoyu was after all not any regular person.

It would make things easier if he had an identity which he could reveal to the public.

“But I...” Xiaoyu was about to say sothing but eventually stopped himself after seeing the suspicious look in Lin ngya’s eyes. He swallowed his words and nodded in agreent.

“How about assigning a suitable identity as well? I dress up as a woman on a lot of occasions. Although I do look very beautiful as a woman, wouldn’t my magnificent style be obscured?”

It was Qinghu again, joining in the fun, as he acted coquettishly.

“You?” Lin ngya looked at him from his head to his toes repeatedly and said, “Alright, I will put my request across to my father to let you be his sworn brother. That way, you will be my second uncle, old man!”

Lin ngya rolled her eyes at Qinghu, perplexed how such a grown man refused to behave seriously.

Nonetheless, Qinghu’s identity as the person in charge of the guards in the inner courts remained important so as not to attract unnecessary attention.

They continued arguing for a while more until the voice of a maid sounded from outside.

“Your Highness, the princess, Aunt Jingyue from the Art Courtyard is here. She wants to see you over so urgent matters.”

Imdiately silence ensued in the room. Everyone took their position for the act they were about to put up.

“Please let her co in,” said Lin ngya.

Her voice sounded chilly yet it also sounded as if she was trying to suppress her rage, which was all ready to explode.

Standing outside, Jingyue took a deep breath as she supposed the princess also had a temper.

Nanny Jingyue, who was wearing a navy blue dress stepped into the prince’s main hall, looking down.

The broken pieces from those expensive breakables were evidence that there was a wild storm a mont ago.

Lin ngya was lying on her side on her princess bed, resting, while Baiji was kneeling before her with her head bowed while massaging the princess’ calf.

“Why? Are you going to follow the footsteps of that lowly maid and disregards my instructions?”

Lin ngya’s voice may sound gentle but the sharpness in it made Jingyue lower her head further.

Princess Yu usually doted on her maidservants. Apparently, she had really lost it this ti.

“Never would I dare to defy you! Please forgive , Master!”

Baiji’s voice quivered, as if she was truly fearful of Lin ngya.

No matter how kind and gracious a master could be, Jingyue supposed Lin ngya still turned rciless given the circumstance she t with.

The princess would not give special concession.

“Greetings of peace to Princess Yu.”

Lin ngya opened her eyes at that instant, as if she just realized that Jingyue had co.

“The servants in my courtyard had been negligent. Please co and take a seat Nanny Jingyue,” Lin ngya said imdiately.

Jingyue greeted Lin ngya with a bow and smiling, she said, ” It’s alright. I’m just here to pass a ssage from Concubine De although she had initially given Your Highness three days to gather evidence, it is no longer necessary. Baizhi had confessed and told us where she got the silver from. Concubine De had gone to her and had instructed to co to invite Your Highness over.”

Apparently, Concubine De had taken the bait. However, Lin ngya maintained a look of indifference on her face.

Frowning, she said, “Really? This maidservant of mine was indeed clever enough not to implicate and had made her confession. I want to know how she had kept this from . Let’s go and see.”

With Jingyue leading the way, Lin ngya and Baiji trailed behind her all the way to the mansion’s backyard.

The shed where the firewood was kept was usually quiet but now it was crowded with people. Lin ngya furrowed her brows and looked frustrated and impatient.

“The princess is here.”

Nanny Jingyue’s voice imdiately attracted the attention of most people present.

Lin ngya wondered, did Jingyue not say that Concubine De had already arrived at the wood shed?

However, all she saw was Jinsu. Even Yun Ruo who was always by Concubine De’s side was nowhere to be seen.

“Finally you’re here, Master Princess. This lass had finally confessed and it would be up to you how you want to punish her!”

Jinsu walked up to Lin ngya, forcing a smile on her face. A sense of dread befell Lin ngya the mont Jinsu opened her mouth to speak.

However, Lin ngya did not even glance at this accomplice to the evildoers.

She simply looked at Baizhi with deeply furrowed brows.

Lin ngya clenched her fist quietly.

She had hardly been back in her courtyard for long and these people had already started torturing Baizhi into confessing.

Baizhi’s lovely face was at the mont red and swollen.

The veins on her face were clearly visible and the sight broke Lin ngya’s heart.

She could tell that they had used a tape as thick as a palm to whip her.

Baizhi’s face may not have been disfigured, but her teeth would have co loose from the beating.

Baizhi had no other interest than eating. What would she if her teeth had co loose?

She regretted a little after a while. She had no other choice if she wanted to nip the problem in the bud.

How was she going to repay what she owed all these people and when would she fully repay them?

Baizhi’s cheeks were so swollen that she was totally unable to speak.

The onlookers were there to watch a show and no one ntion anything about giving her so dical assistance.

It showed how heartless man could be.

Lin ngya held back the pain in her heart and pretended not to care. However, she also did not try to look friendly to Jinsu.

“I thought Concubine De had employed so clever thod to bring about Baizhi’s confession. Who knew she had resorted to torture to force a confession. I had thought too highly of her. How could there be any truth in a forced confession under great torture?”

Everyone fell silent at Lin ngya’s words.

She was after all the mistress of the prince’s mansion. This was an unchanging reality.

“Your Highness, you are mistaken. Concubine De was not the one who did this, and it’s... Forget it, let this maid explain it to Your Highness personally.”

When Jinsu finished speaking, she pushed a dejected-looking maid forward from behind her.

Lin ngya glanced at her and recognized her as one of the inconspicuous maids who swept the floor in her Liuxin Courtyard.

It was said that she and Baishao ca from the sa hotown.

The maid started to tremble like a leaf the mont she saw Lin ngya.

She knelt down and kowtowed, saying, “Please spare my life, princess! Please spare my life! Soone put a spell on , which was why I did this silly thing! Please do not be angry with and forgive !”

Lin ngya glanced at the maid and a cold smile appeared on her face.

“Out with the truth, otherwise you’ll be thrown out of here!”
