Chapter 69: The Dungeon

The snacks they had hidden in their arms were eventually finished, and by the evening they were both hungry.

Fortunately, it is a warm spring now, not too cold, otherwise it will be locked up here for two days, even if it is not tortured by Liu Ruxue, I am afraid that it will be frostbitten, even if it is warm these days, it is very cold in this firewood room, and there is no sunlight all day long.

At night, Xiaocui couldn't hold back and fell asleep leaning on Meng Xiaoran's shoulder, Meng Xiaoran has been vigilant, for some reason, she always has a feeling that Liu Ruxue will definitely act tonight.

Sure enough, in the second half of the night, Meng Xiaoran heard a sound, and she shook Xiaocui awake, "Xiaocui, wake up!" ”

After Xiaocui was shaken awake, she rubbed her eyes, "Sister, what's wrong?" ”

"Shh......h Be quiet, there's someone outside. Meng Xiaoran covered her mouth and said in a low voice.

After a while, there was a rustling sound by the window, Meng Xiaoran looked carefully, and saw that the window paper was punctured, and after a while, a lit smoke came in.

"Hold your breath and pretend to faint when someone comes in, you know?" Meng Xiaoran whispered in Xiaocui's ear.

Xiao Cui covered her mouth and nose and nodded vigorously, Meng Xiaoran also immediately held her breath, after a long time, there was a sound of iron chains hitting outside the door, someone should have come to unlock the lock, Meng Xiaoran immediately pinched Xiao Cui's hand, Xiao Cui understood, and the two immediately leaned on the sack to pretend to be dizzy.

Almost instantly, the door was opened, and Meng Xiaoran felt three or four people coming in, "Move faster." ”

It was Liu Ruxue's voice, she felt that she was being carried, and then several people left the firewood room, and when they got out of the yard, Meng Xiaoran opened her eyes slightly, she carefully observed the people around her, and the one wearing a black cloak who walked in front must be Liu Ruxue.

The person next to her, looking at the figure should be her nurse Xia's mother, the two walked in front to lead the way, out of the Ruxue Pavilion and went north, Meng Xiaoran had never been here, and the last pedestrian stopped in a dilapidated corner.

Meng Xiaoran saw Liu Ruxue walk to a wall blocked by thick vine branches, and when she opened the vine branches, an iron door appeared, Liu Ruxue took a long time to open the door, and then the group walked in.

It was pitch black inside, Liu Ruxue asked Xia's mother to light a torch, Meng Xiaoran immediately closed her eyes, opened a slit slightly, and was shocked by everything she saw in front of her.

There is actually a dungeon in this door, but looking at the empty cells, it seems that there are no people, it seems that there are really a lot of secrets in this prime minister's mansion, but now it seems that it is not the time to be curious, Liu Ruxue brought the two of them here, and I don't know what to do, there is no Xia He with him, and there is not even a person to deliver the letter, what can I do?

Just thinking about it, the person carrying her stopped, Meng Xiaoran quickly closed her eyes, and after hearing a sound of unlocking, the two of them were thrown into the cell after a while.

After a while, Meng Xiaoran pretended to be in pain, muttered, slowly opened her eyes, she got up from the ground, looked around, and then looked up at Liu Ruxue who was standing in front of her, "What is this doing, Miss?" Where is this place? ”

Liu Ruxue sneered, "It's where you want to stay next, enjoy the dungeon of our Prime Minister's Mansion, I will take time to come and see you every day." After speaking, he looked at the two people on the side, "Tie them up, I want to ask them properly." ”

Meng Xiaoran looked at the two people standing behind Liu Ruxue, both wearing flower masks on their faces, and seeing that they were men, they immediately stepped forward after listening to Liu Ruxue's words, pulled Meng Xiaoran up and tied him to the cross-shaped iron pillar in the cell, and Xiaocui was also pulled up.

The two of them were tied with hemp rope, and Meng Xiaoran looked at Liu Ruxue coldly, "What is the eldest lady going to do?" Lufu asked herself if she didn't offend the eldest lady, why did the eldest lady make things difficult everywhere? ”

"Didn't offend me?" Liu Ruxue took a step forward and took off the cloak and hat drape covering her head, revealing that beautiful face, "My cousin and I have known each other since childhood, we are childhood sweethearts, he has always treated me very well, I didn't expect you to change as soon as you appeared, you seduced everywhere, let your cousin take you, where do you put me?" You still say you didn't offend me? ”

After finishing speaking, he took out a whip in his hand at some point and whipped it hard, a piercing pain struck, Meng Xiaoran couldn't hold back and exhaled in pain, Xiaocui couldn't help but shout on the side: "Sister!" ”

"Sister?" Liu Ruxue stopped when she heard this, and turned her head to look at Xiao Cui, "Who is she your sister?" After speaking, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he snorted coldly, "Could it be that my cousin even took you in?" ”

Saying that, he raised the whip in his right hand and was about to hit it, Meng Xiaoran immediately stopped him when he saw this, "The eldest lady misunderstood, Xiao Cui and I used to work together in the big kitchen and had a very good relationship, so I married Jin Lan in private, and it was she who called my sister, not as the eldest lady thought." ”

Liu Ruxue snorted when she heard this, looked Xiao Cui up and down, and said, "You don't have that ability!"

Xiaocui escaped, Liu Ruxue focused on Meng Xiaoran again, and threw it at her again and again, "My cousin has always paid little attention to women, how can I be confused by you?" Say, what kind of demon method did you use, say! ”

Meng Xiaoran clenched her teeth and didn't speak, Xiao Cui on the side was already in tears, after a storm of whipping, Liu Ruxue was also tired, she gasped and threw the blood-stained whip in her hand to the ground, and ordered the people next to her: "That's it here today, go back!"

After Liu Ruxue left, Xiaocui immediately cried, "Sister, sister, are you okay, how are you?" ”

Meng Xiaoran's light green skirt was already bloodstained at this time, and her face was also swept by the whip, leaving a few blood marks, at this time she was covered with sweat, her head was lowered, and she seemed to have fainted.

In a daze, she seemed to hear someone calling her, "Sister, sister......" She opened her eyes with difficulty, and her consciousness gradually returned, only then did she hear Xiao Cui on the side crying and shouting about herself.

She raised her head with some difficulty and turned to that side, "Xiaocui, I'm fine......"

Seeing that she finally woke up, Xiaocui couldn't help crying, "Sister......"

"Don't cry, save some strength, my sister still wants to take you out." Hearing this, Xiao Cui immediately held back her crying and sobbed a few times, "Sister, you have been so seriously injured, and now you have no medicine, what can you do?" The eldest lady will be back tomorrow. ”

Meng Xiaoran sighed secretly in his heart, "Don't be afraid, I'll find a way." ”

said that she was trying to find a way, but in fact, Meng Xiaoran was so painful that she didn't have the strength to think anymore, although she had a hard life since she was a child, she had never suffered like this, if it weren't for her tenacity, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to support it for a long time.

There was no day or night in the dungeon, and when Meng Xiaoran woke up again, she didn't know how long it had been, and there were still bursts of pain in her body, but it was much better than at the beginning, maybe she was used to it.

"Xiaocui, do you know how long it has been?"

Xiao Cui thought for a while and said, "It's been a day since the eldest lady left for about a while, and I'm afraid it's almost night at this moment." Speaking of this, he was a little worried, "Sister, do you think the eldest lady will come again?" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound in the dungeon, who could there be besides Liu Ruxue? Meng Xiaoran immediately instructed Xiaocui, "Don't talk for a while, and don't call my sister." ”

The sound of stumbling footsteps came, Meng Xiaoran listened carefully, it should be two people, the steps were frivolous and weak, the two women, it must be Liu Ruxue and Xia's mother.

Meng Xiaoran regretted a little, she couldn't help but fall asleep, last night when she found out that something was wrong, she hid the small dagger in the strap of her wrist, if she cut the rope early, even if she was covered with scars, it was more than enough to subdue the two powerless women.

But as a last resort, she still doesn't want to do this, once she does this, she will be exposed, and then all the previous forbearance will be in vain.

Liu Ruxue came in again, the torch in Xia's mother's hand lit up the cell full of blood, and she felt proud when she saw Meng Xiaoran's embarrassed appearance.

"How's it going, have you figured it out after thinking about it all day? Do you want to tell the truth or not? Liu Ruxue picked up the whip on the ground and walked in front of Meng Xiaoran, her face full of disdain and viciousness.

Meng Xiaoran sneered in his heart, what is the trouble of wanting to add crimes? Liu Ruxue just wanted to take the opportunity to torture herself, but she still had to find such a high-sounding reason for herself, which was really disgusting.

"The slave really doesn't know what the eldest lady wants the slave to say."

Liu Ruxue snorted coldly, stepped forward and pinched her face, and looked at it carefully, although there were a few more blood marks, it couldn't hide her beauty, such beauty was beyond Liu Ruxue's reach, and it was what she hated the most.

"This face is really an eyesore to look at, is my cousin just confused by your face?" Liu Ruxue shook off her face vigorously and looked at Xia's mother on the side, "Mom, do you have a dagger?" ”

Mother Xia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then shook her head, "The old slave was not thoughtful and did not bring a dagger. ”

Meng Xiaoran's hanging heart was relaxed, she felt Liu Ruxue's killing intent, just now she wanted the dagger to ruin her face, but fortunately she was temporary, otherwise she was afraid that she would be in a catastrophe.

"That's it, anyway, I'm going to torture you slowly until you tell the truth." After speaking, he started to whip again, Meng Xiaoran snorted, and then clenched his teeth, feeling the fishy sweetness in his mouth, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

When Liu Ruxue was tired, she threw the whip to Mother Xia, "Put the torch over there, you go and teach that girl a lesson, and follow this cheap maid all day long, which is also an eyesore, and it is not expected to be a good thing." ”

Mother Xia nodded when she heard this, stuck the torch in her hand into the hole in the wall of the cell, and walked to Xiaocui with a whip, Meng Xiaoran only had a trace of consciousness at this time, knowing that they were going to beat Xiaocui, she held on to the pain in her body, and begged for mercy, "Miss, Xiaocui is just my main companion, she doesn't know anything, please let the eldest lady let her go." ”

Mother Xia on the side had already begun to whip, Xiaocui's shouts came, Meng Xiaoran kept begging for mercy, but Liu Ruxue was unmoved, I don't know how long it took, Xiaocui gradually lost her voice, and she shouted to stop.
