Chapter 732: Chapter 732: See Again (1)_1

Upon hearing this, fear and desperation immediately filled Qin Meiren’s eyes, while Chu Suifeng had already burst into her room.

Situ Gong and Bai Xian exchanged a look before reentering the room.

"Oh heavens."

"What’s going on?"

"The Prince isn’t going to take his anger out on us, is he?"

...

The women in the courtyard forgot about decorum and gathered together, gossiping like an exploded pot. They were all shocked by Qin Meiren’s boldness, and worried about their own safety. Having spent many years in the Wang Residence, the Prince’s unpredictable and vengeful temperament was deeply ingrained in their hearts.

At this moment, no one hesitated to blame the ashen-faced maidservants.

"Madam." Qin Meiren’s maid, trembling, took her into her arms. Counting on it, these maids were still loyal.

"Hehe, are you scared?" Qin Meiren suddenly laughed.

The maids sobbed softly, with none of them answering her question. Whether they answered or not, everyone knew the answer in their hearts.

Although Qin Meiren was heavily punished, her living standards were not affected. The room was fully furnished, complete with a heated bed and wall, providing ample warmth.

However, Chu Suifeng’s heart was cold, a kind of coldness that seeped into his bones.

Situ Gong and Bai Xian also had grave expressions on their faces: the secret tunnel was right under Qin Meiren’s bed. The armored troops had searched the place once before and failed to discover it.

What chilled Situ Gong and Bai Xian even more was the presence of a traitor within the Wang Residence. Because Qin Meiren and her few maids alone couldn’t have gotten Lin Ziyin out.

"Search," Chu Suifeng gritted out.

"Prince, we should question them separately," Situ Gong suggested seriously.

Thus, overnight, the situation within the Wang Residence began to change again.

"I never thought you could be so ruthless." Hong Ying, looking at Ming Meiren who was beaten to a pulp, still couldn’t quench her anger. "The Prince and Princess treated you well. Why would you help outsiders hurt the Princess?"

"You wouldn’t understand." Ming Meiren was already injured. After being beaten again, she was barely hanging on to life. But even so, there was no fear on her face. With a mocking gaze, she watched Hong Ying, "You’ve never been in love; how would you understand my heart?"

"The Prince doesn’t love you. You should know that from the very beginning, when you were chosen to enter the backyard, the Prince hoped that you could manage the women there and prevent them from causing troubles." Lun Luo looked at her coldly as if looking at a dead person. The sisterly feelings of the past were gone, "All of us are trained hidden guards for the Princess. A farmer’s daughter, she doesn’t understand anything, how can she marry the Prince? Even if it was any lady from an aristocratic family in Feng City, I would be willing to let go. But she can’t."

"Don’t waste words with her, where exactly did you send the Princess?" Huangying, very angry, whipped her once more.

"Hehe." Ming Meiren suddenly laughed, "I want to tell you, it doesn’t hurt at all. Because my heart hurts more than my body. You don’t understand anything. I have no regrets, not at all. This woman is a farmer’s wife who doesn’t understand anything. Why did she get to marry the Prince? Even if I had to give up to any young lady from an aristocratic family in Feng City, I would be willing. However, that is not the case with her."

"Fool." Huangying angrily whipped her one more time. Another wound was added to Ming Meiren’s body; the raw flesh was exposed and the wound looked fearsome.

But Ming Meiren looked as if she felt nothing at all; the anger in her eyes was still the same, "Lin Ziyin doesn’t deserve the Prince. The mistress of the Wang Residence should not be her, I am not wrong."
