Chapter 0110 – The Curved Path (2 / 2)

And from another corner of the room, a masked shadowguard dressed in red slowly stepped out, holding a long whip with barbs in his hand, and whipped hard at the black-clad shadowguard in front of him.

Shellfish shuddered and rose to her feet, “What, what are you doing?”

Ruiniang coldly said, “He didn’t search carefully, so naturally he should be punished. But for your sake, let’s punish him with only ten lashes.”

“Thank you, Lord Luan!”

That black-clothed shadow guard gladly voiced his thanks, and then he gritted his teeth and endured the whipping, not saying a word, letting the blood stain the lapel. Soon, the black-clothed man finished being tortured, and quickly hid in the corner.

The red-clothed shadow guards also quickly withdrew, and the room suddenly returned to a silence, as if nothing had happened, leaving only a faint smell of blood.

Xiang Capsicum, however, chilled to the bone, full of joy was blocked in his chest, and for a while he did not know what to say.

Ruiniang’s face slowed down a little, knowing that the girl in front of her was afraid of being frightened, and just wanted to comfort her with a few words, but she saw Xiang Capsicum looking at her with her eyes full of tears, “Ruiniang, you had such a soft and gentle nature before, but now you have become so determined, and you are in such a high position, so I think that you must have suffered a lot in these past five years, right?”

Ruiniang’s complexion stiffened slightly as she patted Xiang Capsicum’s hand, a genuine smile appearing on her face, “It’s all in the past, tell me about you first.”

On the other hand, Chen Zisheng searched for a few rounds in Dengjie Lou without seeing Xiang Capsicum people, sitting at one of the corridor tables, his face was terribly gloomy.

“You go, get those two maids at the door in here!”

Xiao Er quickly retreated and soon led Cai Yue and Bitao to come.

As soon as Cai Yue saw Chen Zi An, she smiled charmingly and went forward, “How is Gongzi, have you found that backstabbing bitch of Xiang Capsicum?”

Chen Zisheng was already upset, and when he heard this, he raised his hand and slapped Caiyue fiercely in the face: ”What an ass to find! I’m so confused that I’ve been fooled by a few of your mothers-in-law! People will laugh their asses off if it gets out!”

Cai Yue covered the side of her face and said incredulously, “How is it possible, Bitao and I have been following her, but we saw it for real! Bitao, Bitao you quickly say something, is it!”

Bitao followed behind Cai Yue, dodging Chen Zisheng and Cai Yue’s gazes, and mumbled, “Yes, yes, the slave girl watched with her own eyes as Sister Fragrant Capsicum came this way.”

“Also, we are not interrogated Xiaolan, that little girl usually day and night with the fragrance capsule never leave, but now no matter how tortured are biting dead say do not know where the fragrance capsule went, here must be something fishy! There must be something fishy going on here. Young master, we can’t let her off the hook so easily today!”

Cai Yue broke down and knelt forward, hugging Chen Zisheng’s feet and pleading, “I know that Young Master cherishes Xiang Capsicum, not only did he promote her to Auntie, but he also disposed of Auntie Zhou for her. But what if Xiang Capsicum fails the young master and has a wild man outside, and the child in her belly is not your seed, and if she takes over the nest, won’t that confuse the Chen family’s bloodline!”

These words hit Chen Zisheng squarely in the heart, and as he pondered and got up, he suddenly realized that in the hidden corner of the third floor of the Deng Magpie Building, there was even an inconspicuous wooden staircase that seemed to lead to the upper floor.

“Junior, I didn’t hear you say that there was a fourth floor in the Dengmai Lou, what is this fourth floor for?”

“Back to you, sir, this is the residence of our Dengmai Lou proprietor, and it is not open to outsiders on weekdays.”

“Today my lord is going up to look for someone, so go ahead and lead the way quickly!”

“No way, Your Excellency, you can only invite someone to the fourth floor if the proprietor has authorized it! Otherwise the proprietor will be blamed!”

“Get lost if you don’t want to! I’ll go upstairs myself!”

With that, Chen Zisheng was about to lift his steps and go upstairs.

“Your Excellency must not!”

Xiao Er anxiously hugged Chen Zisheng’s leg.

Only the people in the Dengjie building know that the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor are set up with layers of organs, and those who trespass without the master’s instructions will die.

This matter has been commanded from above, never mention it to outsiders, even if Xiao Er is anxious, he can only use this way to delay for a moment or two.

If the next person looking for death he will not care, but this is the richest family son, if there is anything wrong, Deng magpie building may be fine, he is bound to be out of the top pot that!
