Qi Xiangsi was utterly resistant, her body kept retreating, and her mouth was tightly shut, refusing to let the servant force that disgusting concoction down her throat.
But with her ager strength, she was no match for the servant, who was already an adult and strong from daily heavy labor and training. She really couldn’t win against him.
Very soon, she was pinned to the ground by the servant, who forcibly poured a bowl of soup down her throat.
Qi Xiangsi felt she was disgustingly foul, everything stank, particularly the taste in her mouth.
She wanted to vomit from nausea, but as soon as the servant finished pouring the soup, he imdiately blocked her mouth, leaving her unable to vomit.
She could only endure the foul taste in her mouth, unable to utter a word.
But she felt aggrieved!
So aggrieved.
Originally, she shouldn’t have had to suffer like this; she could have continued being the eldest miss, living her life in wealth and comfort. It was because she had trusted the wrong person.
The situation she was in now was the price for trusting the wrong person, she deserved it.
She kept crying, tears like floodwaters breaking through a dam, endlessly flowing with no end.
...
Jun Ning sent people out to find Qi Xiangsi all night, but they still couldn’t find her. Ultimately, she had no choice but to go to the Qianji Pavilion overnight, asking their recently developed intelligence organization to investigate.
Jun Ning thought the intelligence departnt of the Qianji Pavilion had only been developed recently, so things wouldn’t be investigated so quickly. Yet, in less than half an hour after she gave the task, they got results.
Qi Xiangsi was being held in the woodshed in the backyard of the Prince Mansion.
Hearing this answer, Jun Ning was very puzzled, "We sent people to investigate the Prince Mansion too, and it was the first place we checked, so why didn’t we find anything? But now we have?"
Could it be Qi Xiangsi was just recently taken to the Prince Mansion?
Jun Ning couldn’t help but wonder.
Ye Ying, who ca to help, said, "The woodshed in the backyard of the Prince Mansion is quite secluded and hard to find. It’s understandable that you didn’t notice it during your investigation."
"Alright..." Jun Ning sighed and said, "Let’s not discuss this now. Since we have Nuan Nuan’s whereabouts, Ye Ying, let’s deploy so people imdiately to rescue Nuan Nuan."
Jun Ning lanted, "Nuan Nuan was raised pampered from a young age and has never suffered. I’m afraid if we go too late, that rotten girl will have had to endure hardship."
Ye Ying said, "Ah Ning, don’t worry. I’ll deploy people to go save her now, you just wait with peace of mind."
"No, I’m going with you."
How could Jun Ning just wait for news peacefully? She couldn’t sit still or wait any longer; she wanted to see Qi Xiangsi as soon as possible.
"Ah Ning, listen to , just wait." Ye Ying patted Jun Ning on the shoulder, "Over the years, your health has barely improved a bit. You can’t put yourself in danger again and let sothing happen."
"Trust us, we’ll definitely rescue Miss Qi unhard."
Ye Ying was full of confidence.
It’s confidence in the Qianji Pavilion he had personally managed all these years and also in the assassins within the Qianji Pavilion.
Hearing this, Jun Ning didn’t insist on going herself anymore.
Ye Ying was confident in the Qianji Pavilion, and so was she.
"Alright, you go, I’ll wait for you to co back."
Ye Ying set off with his team, and Jun Ning waited for news in the Qianji Pavilion. Even when the servants ca to take her for a rest, she was unwilling, her heart set on waiting for Qi Xiangsi to return.
However, before Qi Xiangsi ca back, a guard from the Qi Mansion ca to report that Jun Yang had gone to the Qi Mansion.
She was the first to welco Jun Yang.
"Ha ha..." Jun Ning said, "What, is she here to negotiate terms with ?"
A confidant left behind by Ye Ying, who was also a guard, said to Jun Ning, "The Pavilion Master guessed right, it must be so."
Jun Ning took a sip of tea and then put down the teacup, "Alright, take back to the Qi Mansion, let et Jun Yang." This ti, she would definitely not let Jun Yang go.
...
In the flower hall of the Qi Mansion, Jun Yang had only had two cups of tea before Jun Ning arrived.
Accompanied by Nanny Zhang, Jun Ning entered the flower hall and sat on the main seat on the other side of where Jun Yang was sitting.
Jun Yang wasn’t treating herself as a guest at all. Upon arriving at the flower hall of the Qi Mansion, she sat in the main seat rather than the guest seat. Quite arrogant indeed.
At this mont, Jun Ning glanced sideways at Jun Yang on the main seat on the other side and mocked, "As the saying goes, a tree without bark will surely die; a person without sha is invincible."
"Jun Yang, you’re really shaless."
"Do you deserve to sit there?"
That seat was the one Qi Qin used to sit in habitually when he was alive, and Jun Ning had never sat there, but Jun Yang ca and sat on it imdiately.
Jun Ning was very displeased and shot a look at Nanny Zhang.
Nanny Zhang imdiately stepped forward, dragged Jun Yang off that main seat, and yanked her to stand in front of Jun Ning, then gave a kick to bend her knees, forcing her to kneel.
Nanny Zhang was from the imperial palace and was the Empress Dowager’s person; she had done this kind of disciplining servants many tis.
So her actions were adept, as if a fish in water, very skilled.
Even though Jun Yang had the appearance and nature of a street thug, slippery in every way, she was still pinned down by the imposing Nanny Zhang and made to kneel obediently.
Jun Yang tried to struggle free, but she couldn’t escape at all.
Seeing this, Jun Yang accepted it and stopped struggling.
She kneeled obediently but said to Jun Ning with great resentnt, "Jun Ning, you dare to treat like this, have you thought of Qi Xiangsi?"
Jun Ning acted as if she hadn’t heard, sipping her tea in silence.
Jun Yang continued, "Are you still sending people to find Qi Xiangsi? Ha ha, it’s a pity, you’ll never find her. I’ve hidden her away, sowhere so secret that no one can find her."
Jun Yang thought that with these words, Jun Ning would react, but Jun Ning still said nothing.
Unwilling to accept this, Jun Yang continued, "Besides, I have people feed Qi Xiangsi rotten food every day. Qi Xiangsi has been pampered since childhood, and has never suffered like this."
"From the first bite of that rotten food, she has been crying continually, so heartbroken that her beautiful eyes are swollen like peaches."
"Hahahaha..."
Jun Yang laughed madly as if getting imnse psychological satisfaction from Qi Xiangsi’s tornt.
The laugh was so loud; it filled the entire flower hall.
Upon hearing this, Jun Ning finally reacted.
She slamd down the teacup heavily, looked at Nanny Zhang, her eyes ablaze with fury.
Nanny Zhang understood, stepped on Jun Yang’s hair, and slapped Jun Yang’s face twice.
"You little brat, so malicious at such a young age, even more so than your dead mother, simply surpassing the master."
"What, my mother? You know my mother?"
Upon hearing Nanny Zhang suddenly ntion her mother, Jun Yang didn’t even care about the burning pain on her face; she looked at Nanny Zhang with longing, hoping to get more information about her mother.
