The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

Zhao Linan shuddered violently, and before he could recover for a moment, another basin of cold water was poured down on him.

He cursed subconsciously, but in the next second a whip was swung down hard. The pain made Zhao Linan wake up instantly. He opened his eyes wide in fear, but everything he saw was dark.

"You...who are you, how dare you...did you kidnap the wrong person? I'm just a..."

Zhao Linan still wanted to defend himself, but a sigh came from the other end.

The next moment, the whip came over again, accompanied by a warning: "You talk so much! Our master has something to ask you, just answer it. If you say one more word, I will beat you again!"

This whip didn't leave any force, it was so hard that Zhao Linan's skin was torn and his flesh was torn, and he almost fainted from the pain.

However, he still understood what the person who did it meant.

For a while, I could only endure the pain and nodded in frustration, thinking about whether there was any other way to escape.

But the man in the darkness seemed to see something. He only heard a sneer and then said: "I advise you to stay calm. If you anger my master..."

Before he finished speaking, the meaning was already expressed very clearly. Zhao Linan trembled all over and did not dare to think more.

At this time, the interrogation had just begun.

The others obviously didn't want to delay too much, so they started straight to the point and hit the point: "You just said, what is your relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Rong?"

Hearing this, Zhao Linan felt relieved, and regretted that he had made many mistakes. If he had not been discovered, he would not have been beaten like this. In the end, it was all Xia's fault.

Ye Chen!

Zhao Linan was filled with resentment, but with a flattering smile on his face, he kept saying: "So it's this! You should have told me earlier!"

"He is an orphan. He stayed at my house when he was a child. I -"

Zhao Lin'an didn't realize how much he had said, but the people next to him couldn't listen anymore, and whipped him again, hitting Zhao Lin'an until he was stunned.

He screamed and cried, but it was obviously impossible for anyone around him to feel sorry for him.

It took a long time before those few words turned into several whips were finally finished.

Seeing that he was really stupid, the men frowned and warned again: "You can answer whatever the master asks. If you continue to be so incomprehensible, we will have no choice but to beat you to death on the spot."

Zhao Linan was so frightened that he was weak. Zhang Fei wanted to say who they were, but also wanted to say that he could help if they needed it.

After all, Xia Yechen didn't regard him as a brother, so what would happen if he sold him?

Zhao Linan thought so, but unfortunately no one gave him a chance to speak. As long as he said a word that had nothing to do with the problem, the whip would come down without mercy.

In the end, Zhao Linan finally gave in, hunching his shoulders and not daring to ask another word. Until then, another voice came faintly.

"——You said before that you and His Royal Highness are brothers?"

Zhao Linan's expression changed, and he was a little unsure of what he meant by this question. He hesitated and nodded, and said: "Yes..."

Before he finished speaking, another whip came down. Zhao Linan was panicked and couldn't understand the reason for this whip, but he didn't dare to ask for fear that it was another whip that had "nothing to do with the problem".

By all means

This time, the subordinates had no intention of explaining. After the beating, they stopped and stepped aside. After a while, the voice asked again.

"Brotherhood? Are you sure?"

Zhao Linan's mind was still a little confused, thinking that his voice was too soft, so he hesitated to say "OK", but the result was another three whips. This time Zhao Linan couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted: "I only said two Word, why three whips!"

After saying that, he regretted it again and felt that he was about to be whipped again. Fortunately, the answer coming from next to him this time was very concise and concise: "Wrong answer."

Zhao Linan was stunned and uneasy when he heard this. Before he could think more, the same question was asked again.

"What is your relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Rong?"

In the flash of lightning, Zhao Linan finally knew the correct answer. He hunched his shoulders and spoke in fear: "...The common people do not know His Highness King Rong. The common people are just ordinary people. How can they know His Highness King Rong..."

After saying this, Zhao Linan was still uneasy, but soon, the voice that had been asking him sneered.

The sound of cloth rubbing was heard, and the man seemed to stand up. He tilted his head, and Zhao Linan heard a sentence: "Let him go."

The feeling of surviving the disaster came to his heart, and Zhao Linan almost cried with joy.

He thanked him profusely for a while, but no one paid him any attention. After that, his ears were blocked and his eyes were covered with black cloth. Several people came over and dragged him out.

After Zhao Linan's back completely disappeared, a person slowly walked out from the side of the cubicle.

He had a long beard and looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, but his eyes were sharp. He didn't even look at the direction he was walking, he just tilted his head and raised his hands.

The servant said: "Go and send a message to Concubine Shu, one of them has been solved." The subordinate should be saying.

This man was naturally the elder brother of Concubine Shu, a student from the Su Mansion, who was also Xia Yechen's uncle. He came here to teach the Zhao family a lesson on Concubine Shu's orders.

Originally, it was not impossible to beat him to death, but his hands were dirty after all, so he came up with this plan.

I just hope this person can calm down a little bit in the future.

As long as he doesn't talk nonsense everywhere, it's okay to live a peaceful life, but once this matter is exposed, if it falls into the hands of their political opponents, Zhao Linan will probably not survive for a few days.

Therefore, they still saved Zhao Linan's life, so naturally they didn't feel any guilt.

When Zhao Lin'an returned home, Mrs. Zhao Xu, who was about to faint from crying because she couldn't find anyone, saw her scarred son, almost breathless and fainted.

Fortunately, she managed to regain consciousness just before she fainted, and realized that if she fainted, no one would be able to take care of her precious son.

So she pinched Renzhong tightly and forced herself to wake up.

Then, with eyes full of heartache, he cried and said: "My son, how did this happen to you? Who beat you? Let's go to the government and make sure that person walks away without food!!"

Mrs. Zhao Xu scolded angrily, but Zhao Lin'an trembled when he heard this. He would never dare to offend that group of people now.

So he hurriedly grabbed Zhao Xu and didn't dare to say a word.

All she could say was: "Mom! Just leave it alone and call a doctor for the baby first. The baby is hurting all over..." Mrs. Zhao Xu felt even more distressed when she heard this, and went to call a doctor in tears.

After that, Zhao Linan

He didn't dare to mention a word about Xia Yechen, let alone whether he was a brother or not. Just hearing the name made him shudder.
