“What… who?”
Chu Leyan was a little confused. She looked at the servant and Yan Lichen again. This time, she seemed to come back to her senses and said to Yan Lichen with disbelief: “You… have you gone to interrogate my maid?”
At that time, Chu Leyan didn’t even have time to react, so she felt a heavy slap on her face, which made her eyes look like she was hit, and she almost sat down on the ground. “The Empress is either honoring Your Highness or calling you, so it’s so disrespectful.”
The servant’s voice was cold, and when he hit her, his face turned as usual as if he had hit a pig or a cow.
“You… dare you hit me!” Chu Leyan covered her face, her eyes as if she had seen a ghost: “What are you! You dare to hit me…”
After that, she turned around and looked at Yan Lichen, feeling aggrieved: “Your Highness! Even if I make a mistake for a moment, I won’t want this slave to hit me! If it’s spread, how do I still want me to look up…”
She cried while looking up at Yan Lichen’s face. But Yan Lichen had a cold expression. Without looking at her for a long time, he said to the servant, “Bring the person up!” and refused to speak again.
The servant quickly lifted the maid who had just left the house. He was also ruthless. In just half a quarter of an hour, the maid’s face was already blooming, and the swollen pig’s head was almost impossible to tell that it was the face he had just now. Her ten fingers were also clamped by things, two of them seemed to have been broken, and they were softly placed on her skirt, bent into a strange curve.
The maid was already in pain, but when she saw Chu Leyan, two tears still came out of her eyes and said intermittently: “Miss… Miss… They are so cruel that I can’t even ask for death… Miss… Forgive me…”
As she spoke, blood came out from her mouth. It seems that it was a severe punishment. She wanted to bite her tongue but failed to succeed, and her words were already vague.
“Bailing, Bailing!”
Chu Leyan called out twice in grief. Seeing that the maid had fainted, she looked at the servant with a resentful look: “As a man, how can you be so cruel to a woman who has no power to tie a chicken…”
“I’m just doing it on orders,” the servant’s expression was as cold as if he was wearing a mask: “Empress should explain to Your Highness quickly what the plate buried in the southeast corner of the yard is good.”
After that, he ignored the surprised expression on Chu Leyan’s face, turned around and whispered to Yan Lichen: “This maid told me that after using the dirty thing, she buried it in the southeast corner of the yard overnight. I’m afraid that it has been dug out now, and I don’t know what your highness will do.”
“Such a good thing…”
Yan Lichen’s eyes fell lightly on Chu Leyan’s face, and there was no trace of emotion at all: “But you brought it into the mansion?”
Chu Leyan was already scared. Now that the people and the stolen goods are there, she knew it would be difficult for her to refuse.
But she was born with a perfect tongue. After hesitating for a moment, she still tried to argue: “Your Highness should find out the truth. This plate…even if this plate is dug out, it might be the maid who buried it in and framed me! Who knows what the plate is for? I entered the Seventh Prince’s Mansion and was criticized and deceited and accused all the time. I am really…”
“Is it really unfair?”
Yan Lichen was too lazy to listen to her words again. He gently held the armrest of the chair, stood up again, squatted down in front of Chu Leyan, and said word by word: “Chu Leyan, your face looks clean and beautiful, but in fact it is extremely dirty. Your maid broke a few fingers for your sake, but now you have been slandering like this. Are you laughing?”
After saying that, he pinched her chin again, and the expression on his face suddenly became extremely cruel: “Until this moment, you are still framed others and saying that others are slandering you! How can such an ugly person stay in my prince’s mansion for another day!” At this point, he was so angry that his lips twitched: “You don’t accept it
