Cheng Songan's tone was even, with a hint of teasing in her eyes. Her clothes were dirty and her hair was messy, but she exuded a kind of wildness that was full of vitality, and that wildness gave her a different kind of beauty.

Zhao Lin was stunned by her inviolable appearance for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said to the people in the room incoherently: "You are sensible, get out, all of you get out!"

The housekeeper who was there to pick up Cui Wenkang and the others was Wu Fei. Upon hearing this, he immediately stood next to Zhao Lin and whispered, "Master, this is inappropriate."

Cheng Songan moved his wrists: "You tied me up all the way, my hands are red, why don't you let me go now?"

Wu Fei glared at her and whispered, "Don't waste your energy. You can't fool our Master."

"Even Lord Zhao wouldn't talk to me like that. Who do you think you are?" Cheng Songan narrowed his eyes with a hint of contempt, and turned to Zhao Lin and said, "Mr. Zhao, some people outside call you Little Lord, but when I saw you today, you called me a servant and yelled at me."

When Wu Fei heard this, he immediately growled, "Stinky bitch, stop provoking me."

Cheng Songan didn't even look at him and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Lin.

Zhao Lin's face darkened, and he looked a little embarrassed. He shouted, "Shut up! Untie her."

"This..." Wu Fei hesitated and was about to explain further, but when he saw Zhao Lin's expression, he didn't dare to refute and untied Cheng Songan.

Cheng Songan's hands were freed, and he leaned against the table, completely exhausted. He said lazily, "Mr. Zhao probably doesn't know the grudge between me and Cui Yuanqing. On the day he married me, he had sex with another woman, and now he has married my concubine's sister. I wish I could eat his flesh alive."

"Mr. Zhao, we can cooperate."

Wu Fei couldn't help but interrupt again: "Master, you can't trust her."

Zhao Lin had already become soft-hearted when he saw Cheng Songan speaking to him in a soft voice. He said impatiently, "Of course I know. You go out first."

"Mr. Zhao, do you know that Prince Jin also asked to marry me, but I don't want to be a concubine. I heard that you haven't married yet. If I really want to help you, how can you help me vent my anger?" Cheng Songan pinched his wrist, revealing the red mark caused by the hemp rope. "You servants are very rude to me. It's really annoying."

Zhao Lin looked at her fair wrist with red marks on it and felt an indescribable temptation. Then he heard her soft and charming voice hinting at him and couldn't help but be infatuated.

Wu Fei's scalp tingled and he felt something was wrong. Rumor has it that the eldest daughter of the Cheng family is dignified, chaste and well-known for her virtue, but who would have known that she is so good at coaxing people? How could a prodigal son like Zhao Lin, who only seeks women for pleasure, withstand the coquetry and foolishness of such a noble lady?

He gritted his teeth and didn't go out, fearing that Cheng Songan would say something behind his back.

"What does Miss Cheng want?" Zhao Lin moved closer to her and sat down with a shameless face.

Cheng Songan glanced at Wu Fei, and her heart trembled. Then she spoke: "The two people outside, one covered my mouth, and the other hit my head. I want a right hand from each of them. Mr. Zhao, can you afford it?"

After a pause, he continued, "As a return gift, I can tell you the whereabouts of the old lady of the Cui family. If you send someone to bring her here, you can threaten Cui Yuanqing, which is more useful than me."

Zhao Lin's eyes lit up. He never took these pawns seriously. Using their lives in exchange for Cheng Songan's cooperation was worth it. So he immediately ordered, "Do as Miss Zhao Cheng wishes."

Wu Fei frowned and wanted to speak, but he saw Cheng Songan looking at him provocatively, so he had to shut up. If she was really willing to cooperate with Zhao Lin, and something happened between them, it would be a big deal if she persuaded him.

Cheng Songan plucked a pearl flower from her hair with her slender fingers and threw it on the table: "Bring those two people to me to fight. I will be happy to see it. You can take this to invite the old lady without spending a single soldier."

Wu Fei tightened his grip around the pearl flower: This woman is not only scheming, but also cruel. But his master was obsessed, and he couldn't persuade her anymore. Fortunately, she had been poisoned by the muscle softening powder, and without the antidote, she had no strength to escape. Wait a minute and add some other medicine, and she won't be able to use any tricks.

Not long after, Cui Wenkang and Xiao Guangjian were brought in. The two had just received their reward money and were waiting for Cui Yuanqing to come and make another contribution.

Zhao Lin took two more gold ingots from the table and threw them to them. The two men stared at him and knelt down to kowtow.

Cheng Songan held his chin and pursed his lips. Zhao Lin then said, "This gold is for buying a pair of hands from both of you and making the beauty smile. Is that okay?"

Xiao Guangjian was startled, looked up and asked, "What?"

Wu Fei raised his sword and it fell. His right hand was broken at the wrist. Blood spurted all over the floor like a pillar. Some of the blood splashed onto Cheng Songan's skirt, still hot.

Cheng Songan half-closed his eyes and smiled at the trembling Cui Wenkang: "It's your turn. Oh, your sins are not serious. I only need one of your hands. What are you afraid of?"

Cui Wenkang immediately understood what she meant by what she said in the temple stable. She really could do what she said. Even in this situation, she could still be superior to him. He was so scared that he immediately knelt down and hugged Zhao Lin's calf and said, "Young Lord, don't, don't, don't."

Cheng Songan interrupted him nonchalantly: "Mr. Zhao, why did you find Cui Wenkang's nephew? The Cui family is so desperate that they will never really help you."

"Young Lord, I won't, I can guarantee it," Cui Wenkang trembled, looking at Cheng Songan with hatred and fear, "I know Cui Yuanqing..."

"Cui Yuanqing is not loyal to Prince Shou," Cheng Songan moved closer to Zhao Lin intentionally or unintentionally, breathing sweetly, "He is loyal to Prince Xiang."

Cui Wenkang's trump card was this matter. He had wanted to wait until Zhao Lin had completely grasped Cui Yuanqing before telling him, but Cheng Songan was one step ahead of him. No matter how much he talked now, he would not win a single point.

Not only Zhao Lin was stunned, even the shrewd Wu Fei was a little surprised. Did she really hate Cui Yuanqing?

"How can I believe that what you said is true?" At the critical moment, Zhao Lin suddenly became clear-headed.

Cheng Songan raised the corner of his mouth: "You just gave me one dirty hand, what about the other one?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Wenkang screamed. His right hand was broken at the wrist just like Xiao Guangjian's. Two people came in swiftly from outside the door and dragged him out as well.

"Cangxin Shanfang is the other courtyard of King Xiang. I discovered their secret inside." Cheng Songan supported his chin with his hand and looked at Zhao Lin with innocent eyes. He looked cute and naive. "If you don't believe me, go to the main courtyard there. There is a carved top box in the upper room. There is a secret passage in the cabinet. A brick is missing inside."

"Bricks?" Wu Fei couldn't help but ask, "Why is there a brick missing?"

Cheng Songan said leisurely, "Of course there was something buried there, and I dug it out. I met an assassin there today, and I'm sure Master Zhao has heard about it, right?"

Zhao Lin nodded. He had indeed heard about this matter. Even the Seventh Princess was alarmed and went to the Patrol Department to look for someone. This is how Xiao Guangjian got the news.

"I sent most of the assassins to the Patrol Department, but the leader was rescued and taken to his farm."

Cheng Songan sighed: "You have been deceived by Cui Wenkang. Cui Yuanqing will definitely come today, but Mr. Zhao, do you think that he will fall into your trap or kill us all?"
