Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

"The princess said the men in black wanted to capture her alive, so she asked us to hide. She rushed out with a knife in hand. However, the princess no longer had any martial arts skills, so she was captured by them in a short while, and was stabbed several times."

Speaking of this, Yizhu couldn't stop crying.

"continue."

Yi Zhu wiped away her tears and continued with a sob, "Yes. When the men in black were about to take the princess away, a group of masked people suddenly jumped out from a distance. There were at least 30 or 40 of them. Their martial arts were much more powerful than the men in black. As soon as they came, they immediately killed all the men in black. After killing them, they left."

"The princess and the servants were afraid that there might be assassins, so they ran back without being afraid. Fortunately, they did not encounter any assassins on the way back."

Ling Heng looked at her solemnly, trying to tell from her face whether she was lying: "You said there was a group of people wearing masks?"

"Yes."

"What kind of mask?"

"It's made of wood, with no markings at all, just a bare mask with only a pair of eyes showing, and a hood covering the head."

"Who killed Butler Wu?"

"Mask man."

"Where is the leader of the men in black? Who cut off his head?"

"It's also a masked man."

"Where are the palace guards?"

"Some were killed by the men in black, and some were injured but not dead, but were stabbed by the masked men."

"What's the matter with your injuries?"

"The men in black came to kidnap the princess. I and Roman went to stop them, but they slashed us. They also wanted to kill us, but luckily the masked man suddenly came and shot them to death with an arrow."

"Why would the masked man help you?"

“I don’t know either. The princess doesn’t know either. The princess even asked who they were and why they wanted to help us, but those masked men didn’t say a word. They just killed the people and left.”

Ling Heng asked very quickly, and Yi Zhu also answered very quickly.

This was something they had practiced countless times with Li Shuangwan when they came back.

Luo Man asked why she had to hide it from His Highness, and Li Shuangwan told her not to ask anything.

The two maids listened to Li Shuangwan the most. Although they had many doubts in their hearts, they finally stopped asking.

Li Shuangwan knew Ling Heng too well. After being married for ten years, she had roughly guessed what questions he would ask.

Yizhu tried hard to keep his composure steady. Even though he was extremely scared, he did not dare to show it at all. What he showed was only the fear brought about by today's assassination.

Ling Heng was suspicious, and even if she was a little slower, it might arouse his suspicion.

Ling Heng turned his hawk-like gaze towards Roman, but it seemed that this girl was only responsible for crying and had been crying from beginning to end.

"What about you? Is what Yizhu said true? If there is even a single lie, I will not let you off easily!"

Roman: "Well, those masked men are very, very fierce. One of them even wants to kill us."

"Then why didn't I kill you?"

Roman shook his head. “I don’t know either. Those masked men killed all the men in black and left immediately. When that man saw his companions were gone, he left too.”

The room suddenly became quiet. Ling Heng just leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly from time to time, making a clicking sound.

It was like a hammer hitting the two of them in the heart.

His face was gloomy, and his eyes swept between the two maids several times without saying anything else.

Even though he usually behaves as gentle as jade, when he looks at someone like this, he is full of oppression and his eyes are full of gloom.

Yizhu tightly twisted the handkerchief. The calm response she had just shown collapsed at this moment. The fear in her heart was like a tide, rising higher and higher, almost drowning her. Her face turned pale, and her back was covered with cold sweat.

Roman was even worse. She was not good at lying. She knelt on the ground and cried like a tearful person.

After a cup of tea, Ling Heng finally spoke: "Someone come."

A few guards came in.

"Take them away and give each of them twenty strokes of the cane."

Roman cried even louder, she knew the sticks in the palace, twenty strokes would cost them their lives.

Yizhu was so frightened that her face turned pale. Although she was held by the guards on both sides, she still shouted, "Your Majesty, what we said is all true. Why did you hit us? What did we do wrong?"

Ling Heng said coldly: "What mistakes have you made? Haha, the master is seriously injured and unconscious. As a servant, you only have some superficial injuries, which shows that you are hiding behind the master and are afraid of death. I didn't order you to be beaten to death because of your master's face. Otherwise, even if I die a hundred times, it won't be too much!"

Butler Wu is such an idiot. If he doesn't take the opportunity to kill these two servants, he deserves to be put to death.

Ling Heng waved his hand and ordered: "Take him away and beat him up. I want to see who in this mansion dares to fail to protect the master and is afraid of death. This will be the end!"

Luoman and Yizhu had rags stuffed in their mouths and were carried out.

At this time, Sipo, whom he sent to investigate the scene, came back.

What they said was basically the same as what Yizhu and the others said.

They killed the people around him but left Li Shuangwan and his two servants alone. Ling Heng naturally thought of his good brothers.

Ling Heng angrily swept the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk to the ground.

In just a few days, Qinglian and Butler Wu died, and more than thirty guards and secret guards also died, but he still couldn't find any clues.

Even the two maids and the housekeeper in Lexiaoyuan died.

Everything is directed at Li Shuangwan.

Is he the prince, the second son, the third son, or the fifth son, the sixth son!

Could it be that they couldn't bear to see him marry Li Shuangwan into the mansion?

Ling Heng's face turned pale: "An Yi."

An Yi appeared behind Ling Heng in a flash: "Master."

Ling Heng lowered his voice and whispered that he would deal with them one by one and make them pay ten times or a hundred times the price.

An Yi accepted the order: "Yes."

At this moment, in the main house of Lexiaoyuan, Li Shuangwan slowly woke up.

She was extremely tired, had multiple injuries and was bleeding a lot. In addition, Gu Xingyan's words had hurt her both physically and mentally. When she managed to reach the city gate, she actually fainted.

"Water..." Li Shuangwan's voice was weak, and his throat felt like it was on fire.

A little maid came over with some water, helped Li Shuangwan up, and put a pillow behind her before handing the cup to her lips: "Princess."

Li Shuangwan knew her. She was the person assigned to her by Butler Wu some time ago. After looking around, he found that she was indeed in the house in Le Xiaoyuan.

So, why aren’t Yizhu and Luoman here?

She pushed the maid's hand away and said, "Call Yizhu and Luoman."

The little maid fell to her knees on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Li Shuangwan suddenly felt something was wrong and raised his voice: "Didn't you hear me? Call Yizhu and Luoman."

The little maid was trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground and shaking her head.

Li Shuangwan's head buzzed and he didn't care about the burning pain on his body. He threw back the quilt and tried to get out of bed.
