When she saw who it was, Liu Yunni was surprised and happy. But when she thought that her current situation was caused by Xie Jingrui, resentment and unwillingness filled her eyes.

Looking at the cold and dangerous aura surrounding Xie Jingrui, his dark eyes swept towards Liu Yunni without any emotion.

Liu Yunni was so frightened that her body trembled violently. She was very familiar with this expression.

The body that was originally trying to get up also retreated backwards in fear at the same time.

Zhao Wanyan was locked up in the next cell. When she heard the noise, she shouted to Xie Jingrui, "Your Highness, we have told you everything we know. Please let Yun'er go. If you continue to torture her, Yun'er will die."

Zhao Wanyan looked at Liu Yunni, who was cowering on the side, with a look of heartache and continued to plead, "Your Highness, please spare Yun'er this time because she has taken care of Hua'er over the years. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard to take care of Hua'er."

It would have been better if she didn't say this. After hearing what Zhao Wanyan said, Xie Jingrui's eyes became even colder.

"If it weren't for her, Hua Ge'er wouldn't have become so withdrawn. Go ask Liu Yunni what she did to Hua Ge'er when he was young?" Xie Jingrui's low voice sounded in their ears like a ghost.

Zhao Wanyan's mind went blank after hearing this.

Liu Yunni also turned around with a pale face and looked at Xie Jingrui. She did those things so secretly that even the secret guards didn't notice it. How did Xie Jingrui find out?

She laughed quietly, hoping for a lucky break. She looked at Xie Jingrui with a distorted face and said, "Your Highness wants to put me to death, and you want to accuse me of doing such hard work!"

Liu Yunni said with a sneer of resignation, "We are all in the dungeon now. Whether we live or die is not up to the prince's words. The prince doesn't need to go to great lengths to give an explanation to my father. Just kill us."

"Yun'er!" Zhao Wanyan was frightened by Liu Yunni's words and shouted.

Liu Yunni had been tortured to the point of being twisted and exhausted. Seeing herself in a state that looked like neither human nor ghost, she no longer had any thoughts of surviving. She just wanted to anger Xie Jingrui and make him kill her.

Liu Yunni crawled out from the darkness of the cell, looking disheveled. When the secret guards tortured Liu Yunni, they intentionally tortured her from behind.

She also guessed that Xie Jingrui had no intention of letting her walk out of the dungeon alive. Thinking of this, the smile on Liu Yunni's face became even more crazy.

"Xie Jingrui, there is no impenetrable wall in this world. You and my father are close friends. If he knew that you tortured his daughter like this, he would never let you go in the future!"

Zhao Wanyan saw Xie Jingrui's face becoming increasingly dark and cold, and she became even more anxious and frightened. She hurriedly stopped him and said, "Yun'er, stop talking."

Liu Yunni had said this. No matter what Zhao Wanyan said, she looked at Zhao Wanyan with resentment and said, "Mom, you watch me being tortured every day. Do you know how much pain I am in?"

Zhao Wanyan's face froze when she heard Liu Yunni's question. She was also heartbroken.

Before she could explain, she heard Liu Yunni complaining, "Mother said she loves Yun'er, but mother still clings to the secret she knows and doesn't want to tell it at all. You would rather watch your daughter suffer."

Zhao Wanyan's hands trembled noticeably. She did this to save Liu Yunni's life, but now Liu Yunni didn't understand her.

Zhao Wanyan's eyes gradually faded. She opened her mouth to explain and her eyes fell on Xie Jingrui, who had an expressionless face.

She suddenly realized that Xie Jingrui was deliberately trying to alienate her and her daughter.

Liu Yunni shifted her gaze to Xie Jingrui's handsome face, and sneered bitterly in her heart: "Prince, you have hurt me so much. Even a piece of stone can be warmed up over the years. I became like that and did such things because of you. It's all your fault!"

Xie Jingrui narrowed his eyes slightly, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Don't think that what you have done is unknown to the gods. It is all your own fault."

The words fell.

A secret guard brought someone out from another cell.

Liu Yunni looked at the familiar face in front of her, her pupils suddenly tightened, and her body began to tremble slightly.

When Mother Lai saw Xie Jingrui, she was so frightened that her whole body was shaking. She knelt down with her legs limp, "My Lord, I have told you everything I know. Please give me a quick death. I can't bear it any more."

Mother Lai pleaded with Xie Jingrui.

Liu Yunni looked at Mother Lai who was not injured, and suddenly thought of something, and said to Xie Jingrui: "Your Highness, Mother Lai is a vicious servant, you should have her killed. She was the one who instigated me to bully Hua Ge'er, and I just believed her slander..."

Seeing how disappointed Liu Yunni was with her, Mother Lai had originally taken into account the relationship between master and servant and helped Liu Yunni conceal some things, but Liu Yunni immediately blamed all the faults on herself.

Mother Lai thought of how Xie Jingrui used the same dirty tricks that she and Liu Yunni had used against Xie Wenhua on herself. She was so frightened that her whole body, which was lying on the ground, shook even more violently.

She begged, "My Lord, it's not like that. I didn't do that. The princess forced me to do that."

Xie Jingrui cast his cold eyes on Lai's mother and said in a very cold voice: "Repeat what you said yesterday and help her recall it."

Mother Lai nodded carefully and looked at Liu Yunni tentatively.

Then he said, "When the young master was three years old, the princess wanted to see the prince. She used the excuse of helping him take a bath, dismissed the servants, and made him soak in cold water for a long time in winter until he fell ill. Later, when the young master grew up, the princess wanted to prevent him from complaining to the prince, so she took advantage of the situation to prick him with a thin and long silver needle when no one was paying attention. She didn't let him make a sound, and if he dared to make a sound, she would prick him more. The needle was so thin and long that the needle hole was not easy to be found. After being pricked by the needle, the princess would make him soak in salt water."

At this point, Mother Lai's body trembled even more violently. The piercing pain made Mother Lai almost faint several times last night.

She suppressed her fear and continued, "At first, the princess was afraid that the prince would find out about what she had done. Later, the young master complained to the prince several times, but the princess tricked him into getting away with it. The prince even scolded him for it, so the princess became even more aggressive. Whenever he was bullied outside or disliked by the prince, the princess would think of ways to torture him, and he became more and more withdrawn."

"It wasn't until this year that the prince learned to fight back. The princess then learned to restrain herself and no longer dared to attack the prince." Mother Lai finally said in a low voice.
