On the wedding night, the villain husband cried and his eyes turned red

Sure enough, only two days later, Xu Shihuan received an order to interrogate Wen Yidi's nominal mother, Diao Yingxue.

"Have you heard? Master Xu is going to interrogate Wen Yidi's mother-in-law. It is indeed interesting for the daughter-in-law to interrogate her mother-in-law!"

"Now, Master Xu will have a hard time doing it. If she doesn't have the heart to take action, it will be difficult for the emperor to explain to her. If she takes action, won't her husband become enemies with her from now on?"

"Anyway, I believe Mr. Xu will not show mercy to Diao Yingxue just because of this relationship. The Wen family has done a lot of immoral things over the years, and we must not let them off lightly!"

The news spread among the people, and Xu Shihuan felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. Originally, Mr. Xiao did not want to set up such a problem for Xu Shihuan for the sake of Prime Minister Xu.

But the person responsible for interrogating Diao Yingxue worked hard for two days and couldn't get even a single word of truth out of this woman's mouth. After struggling until the end, she said calmly:

"My lord, please don't waste your efforts. I won't say anything. However, if you ask Lord Xu to come over and interrogate me personally, I might have a few words with her. After all, that is my son. daughter in law."

In desperation, Mr. Xiao could only find Xu Shihuan and let her interrogate Diao Yingxue personally.

In the sky jail, an elderly woman was chained tightly with heavy chains. The clothes on her body were stained dark red by the blood that seeped out. Hair like ordinary weeds is matted on the head.

She closed her eyes tightly, and the dark blue under her eyes proved that she had not had a good rest for some days. Her chapped lips were slightly open, and only through the slight rise and fall of her chest could she tell that she was still alive in this world.

Hearing the footsteps, although Diao Yingxue did not open her eyes to look, her body involuntarily tensed up. She had been tortured so much these days that any sound would frighten her.

"Master Xu, this is it. The prisoner is chained, so there is no need to worry about her escaping. However, you should keep a distance during the interrogation to prevent this woman from going crazy and soiling your clothes."

"It doesn't matter, just step back."

Xu Shihuan said in a deep voice, and then slowly walked to the cell where Diao Yingxue was held.

"Mrs. Wen, long time no see."

Diao Yingxue suddenly opened her bloodshot eyes and tried hard to squeeze out a hoarse voice from her throat:

"You came……"

Xu Shihuan tried hard to control his emotions so as not to show any surprise. In just a few days, Diao Yingxue was tortured to the point where she was like a ghost, making people afraid to approach him.

"I heard that you came to me and said you had something to talk to me about. For Wen Yidi's sake, I must give you this face."

Hearing this, Diao Yingxue forced the corners of her mouth, showed a terrifying smile, and then said:

"Water...give me water..."

When Xu Shihuan came in just now, the soldier responsible for guarding the prison did bring her a cup of hot tea. Xu Shihuan picked up the hot tea, put it to his mouth and tried it. He felt that the temperature was not hot enough to burn people.

So, she took a few steps forward, looked at the distance between Diao Yingxue and herself, and said:

"If you want to drink water, open your mouth and I'll pour the tea over to you from here."

Diao Yingxue thought that Xu Shihuan would feed her saliva for Wen Yidi's sake, but she didn't expect that she was going to pour the tea over.

"What? Are you not going to drink? It's just right if you don't drink. It will save me trouble."

Upon hearing this, Diao Yingxue did not dare to delay any longer, and she quickly opened her mouth. Xu Shihuan poured all the tea in the cup without hesitation.

"Cough cough cough..."

This sip of tea made Diao Yingxue choke. Although most of it was poured into her mouth, the remaining small amount was still splashed on her face. Seeing that Diao Yingxue no longer coughed, Xu Shihuan asked:

"Drink this water too. If you have anything to say, just say it."

A cup of hot tea woke up Diao Yingxue. It seems that Xu Shihuan doesn't care about the relationship between the Wen family and Wen Yidi at all. I just don't know if she did this because of Wen Yidi's intention, or if she didn't take Wen Yidi into her heart.

But at this point, she still wanted to fight to the death.

"Master Xu, I want to make a deal with you. If you can help me save Wen Yi'an's life, I will tell you a big secret."

"Wen Yi'an?"

Xu Shihuan couldn't help but ask back. Isn't this Wen Yian still hiding in the secret passage between Qiongxian Tower and Xu Mansion? He wasn't thrown into the sky prison like the Wen family. But listening to what Diao Yingxue said just now, she didn't know where Wen Yi'an was, and thought he was locked somewhere in the cell.

While Xu Shihuan was thinking, Diao Yingxue panicked. If Xu Shihuan was not interested in Wen Yidi's secret, what should she do to save Yi An's life. Thinking of this, she had to show her trump card.

"Xu Shihuan! You still don't know, right? That Wen Yidi is not a biological member of my Wen family..."

When it came to the key point, she deliberately stopped, just waiting for Xu Shihuan to ask her out of curiosity. But Xu Shihuan just looked at her with disdain and said in a neutral tone:

"I've known about this for a long time. If you want to make a deal with me, this won't work."

Upon hearing this, Diao Yingxue couldn't help but curse Wen Yidi secretly in her heart. This person who worshiped others and disdained others. When he heard that he was not a member of the Wen family, he couldn't wait to tell Xu Shihuan. The Xu family was afraid that they knew this, so they reluctantly accepted the marriage.

"Then do you know whose flesh and blood he is?"

"The eldest princess."

Hearing that she even answered the question from the eldest princess, Diao Yingxue felt a layer of cold sweat break out on her back. The Prime Minister's Mansion knew much more than she thought. Fortunately, she had left herself the last escape route back then.

"So what if you know he is the eldest princess? The eldest princess's son is of royal blood, and not just any cat or dog can pretend to be one. Since you know Wen Yidi's life experience, I guess what you two want most now is to prove his life experience. How about you help me keep Yi An alive, and I'll give you the token?"

Xu Shihuan turned his head and stared at her with a smile on his face, not in a hurry to answer. However, Diao Yingxue did not panic at all and said slowly:

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I have already sent someone to make arrangements. Once the Wen family's execution date is set, someone will take the token and deliver it to the eldest princess's house."

"If the eldest princess sees that thing, she will definitely agree to save Wen Yi'an's life. After all, that is what she owes the Wen family."

Speaking of this, Diao Yingxue also laughed:

"At that time, it will be Mr. Xu's turn to worry. After all, if I were you, I wouldn't want Wen Yidi to be recognized by the eldest princess."
