In the dark and damp torture chamber, Chun Ning was blindfolded and numbly repeated her confession over and over again.
"My name is Yu Chunning. I am twenty years old. My creditor, Mr. Zhao, had evil intentions. I accidentally killed him. When I was escaping, I accidentally knocked down the candlestick and set off a fire that burned down Nanmen Street. I plead guilty. I obey the law and just want a quick death."
"No more?"
"No, no more..."
"You seem to have forgotten something." The cold bamboo whip fell on her chest and slowly moved downwards.
Yu Chunning couldn't move and could only be at his mercy. When she almost collapsed, she trembled and cried: "I really can't remember, please clarify."
The veil was suddenly taken off, and the man in front of him had bottomless black pupils, and a sharp scar appeared on his forehead.
Yu Chunning recognized him, Pei Shaoyu, her fiancé and the remnant of the deposed prince who had concealed his identity.
Two years ago, she sold his whereabouts to the government for a reward of one hundred taels of silver.
"I didn't expect that I would still be alive. Unfortunately, my case was vindicated."
His face was calm, and his voice was as gentle as he remembered, "I won't let you die, the game has just begun."
-
Chun Ning obediently cooperated with Pei Shaoyu in all his bad tastes, only asking him not to anger his father and sister.
She thought she would never end well if she fell into his hands.
But she didn't know that there were many people outside who wanted her to shut up forever. The hands extended by these people were all blocked by Pei Shaoyu.
I never thought that one day,
This man who hated her would be so ridiculous that he would pay any price just to clear her name.
