If Gu Ruan Ruan in the torture room hadn't been accompanied by Xiao Ruoyun, I'm afraid he would have been scared as soon as he came in!

This torture room is on the ground floor of the Hou Mansion, which was used by Xiao Yanlin to detain felons when Gu Baiyu had not married into the Hou Mansion in the past.

He always felt that important people had to be safe under his nose.

It wasn't until Gu Baiyu married in that Xiao Yanlin was afraid of scaring people, so he abandoned the torture room.

Because the prisoners are all prisoners who have secrets on their bodies that they have not figured out, the torture tools inside are also very complete, even more chilling than those in Dali Temple.

And Gu Ruan Ruan, a modern person, where has he seen these things?

The first time I saw it, I screamed and almost fainted!

In fact, I wasn't so scared, mainly because the lights in the torture room were dim, the torture instruments were hung all over the walls, on the ground, on the walls, there were dark blood stains everywhere, Gu Ruan Ruan didn't know what he stepped on, and when he looked down, he saw that it was a finger bone, which had already rotted, and Gu Ruan Ruan was almost stunned.

Xiao Ruoyun hurriedly helped her forward, and the two were detained in a corner.

Xiao Yanlin didn't speak, and the secret guard didn't dare to use lynching.

It's just that when he left, he quietly picked up that finger.

Thankfully, the Hou Ye has always forbade them to make a mess of the torture room, especially after a while, Madame may also come down, if it is Madame who is scared, they will be miserable.

As for Gu Ruan Ruan......

It's okay to be scared to death, it's better to be scared to death!

And Xiao Yanlin was here, thinking of Gu Ruanruan in the torture room, and went down to the torture room with a single-minded anger.

Seeing Xiao Yan coming, Xiao Ruoyun stood up first: "Sister-in-law, is he okay?" ”

Xiao Yanlin glanced at him coldly: "It's okay." ”

What he thought was that this kid still knew how to care about his eldest sister-in-law.

However, I didn't expect Xiao Ruoyun's next sentence to be: "Since the sister-in-law is fine, is Ruan Ruan not guilty of this?" Big brother, Ruan Ruan She was frightened, big brother, can you let her go? I'm going to punish her in the future! But these torture instruments ..... It's all for repeat offenders! How can it be used on her?! ”

Xiao Yanlin looked straight at Xiao Ruoyun, who defended Gu Ruanruan, and asked after a while, "Do you know that your sister-in-law is pregnant?" ”

Xiao Ruoyun's eyes dodged: "I know ......"

"Then do you know that when your sister-in-law was arrested, the second prince sent someone to ask me to exchange Gu Ruan Ruan for your sister-in-law's safety?"

Xiao Ruoyun supported herself: "But didn't you bring Ruan Ruan over, big brother, you must have a plan in your heart......"

Seeing that Xiao Yanlin didn't speak, Xiao Ruoyun stubbornly continued: "Ruan Ruan is the sister-in-law in the end, why should the eldest brother execute without authorization, it is better to wait for the sister-in-law to rest and let her decide what to do with it herself." ”

Xiao Ruoyun thought very well, Gu Ruan Ruan had done a lot of ridiculous things before, Gu Baiyu's punishment was still within the acceptable range, and it should be the same this time...... Right?

The luck in Xiao Ruoyun's eyes did not escape Xiao Yanlin's eyes.

Until this moment, Xiao Yanlin finally gave up on this younger brother.

He has been completely confused by the woman Gu Ruanruan, and he is no longer the younger brother who was devoted to him and trusted him unconditionally.

"Don't worry, your sister-in-law is pregnant now, I can't let her work, let alone let her be exposed to these troubles."

Xiao Yanlin opened his mouth and decided Gu Ruan Ruan's life and death: "So this time, I have the final say on what she does." ”

Xiao Ruoyun almost couldn't believe her ears, and the questioning words almost blurted out: "Big brother, you can't do this!" What power do you have to decide Gu Ruan Ruan's life and death?! ”

Xiao Yanlin's face is cold, of course I have, not to mention that I am the head of the family, it is more than enough to execute a concubine, not to mention that your sister-in-law still has my child in her womb, that is the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, she murdered the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, that is, to make trouble in front of His Majesty, and she has nothing to say.

After a few words, Xiao Ruoyun finally shut up.

He also finally realized that the reason why Gu Ruan Ruan was able to get away with it before and not get a serious punishment was just because the matter did not really hurt Gu Baiyu, and now, when Gu Baiyu's safety was at stake, Xiao Ruoyun finally realized Xiao Yanlin's iron and bloody wrist.

He spoke again, his voice dry: "Big brother, is there really no room for maneuver in this matter?" ”

Xiao Yanlin glanced at Gu Ruanruan, who was desperately grabbing Xiao Ruoyun's sleeve in the corner, and said, "Don't worry, I won't use the topic to play, and neither will your sister-in-law." This famous family in Kyoto, dealing with this kind of impure concubine who vainly tries to damage the heirs of the house, naturally has a way to deal with it, and how others punish him, he will also punish him. ”

Xiao Yanlin's words have reached this point, even if Xiao Yanlin wants to find out, he can't say anything to provoke.

Xiao Yanlin is right, he is willing to give in, he is already magnanimous.

And he knew even more that his intercession for Gu Ruan Ruan today was probably the last bit of love between the brothers.

But......

Looking at Gu Ruanruan, who was trembling with her sleeves in the corner, and remembering that even if she was cornered by a group of people, she still protected the blood-stained clothes in her arms, Xiao Ruoyun strengthened the idea in her heart again.

In this life, there is something to give, there will be gain.

Gu Ruan Ruan loves her so much, he should speak for her.

And Gu Ruanruan didn't think Xiao Yanlin's proposal was a good thing.

It's not like she's never seen anything like this.

The kind of concubine in the back house, if she provokes the head of the house, she will let it fall, and as for the kind of concubine who tries to damage the heir, it is okay to be executed directly.

So she looked at Xiao Ruoyun almost pleadingly: "Second master, save me......"

And Xiao Yanlin has already made a decision, in the end, he is giving his younger brother a face, "If you are afraid that I will be punished heavily, and there are also people born in big families among your colleagues, go and ask yourself, and then come back and tell me how to punish me." ”

After saying that, wave your sleeves and leave.

However, Gu Ruan Ruan didn't feel saved, she only felt that the big knife hanging over her head was getting heavier and heavier, and this sense of fear that fell at some point almost made her crazy.

After Xiao Yanlin left, Gu Ruan Ruan crawled and protected Xiao Ruoyun's thigh: "Second master, save me......"

Now, she can't care about her own image, this time she is really afraid.

Xiao Ruoyun calmed down: "Didn't the eldest brother say it, I will ask for you, let's look for it, there must be a ...... with a light punishment."

Gu Ruan Ruan shook his head frantically: "No, no, no, I don't want it!" Even if it's the slightest, it's dozens of big boards, and if it really hits me, can I still have it?! Those people either bleed and died afterwards, or they were lame alive, I don't want it, I don't want it!! ”

Xiao Ruoyun's ears hurt from being pierced by her sharp voice: "Ruan Ruan, calm down, I'll think of a way ...... again"

Gu Ruan Ruan really pushed him away: "You can't save me!" You can't save me! Instead of wasting your time here doing all this useless work, you might as well go to the Second Prince's Mansion for me to deliver a message and let him save me!" ”

Gu Ruan Ruan is already six gods and no master, and he is speechless: "I ended up doing things for him, and he must ensure my safety......"

Gu Ruan Ruan bit her nails nervously and muttered to herself, not noticing Xiao Ruoyun's expression behind her at all.

"It turns out that you really hurt your sister-in-law for him......" Xiao Ruoyun murmured in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about what to do if your sister-in-law has an accident today, the child is gone, or her life is endangered......

Gu Ruan Ruan didn't have the idea of speaking well at the moment, and when she heard this question, she almost felt that Xiao Ruoyun was provoking herself: "What can I do?!" It's not her fault! I was originally happy, but she caused me to be separated from my family, since I can't ask my mother's family for help, who else can support me except for the second prince? ! Are you blaming me now?! Don't forget, Xiao Ruoyun, if you have some responsibility, if you can trust me a little bit that day and speak for me, I will stop here?! ”

Xiao Ruoyun opened her mouth, not knowing how to refute.

He didn't trust Gu Ruan Ruan, he owed her.

"And what do you want?" Xiao Ruoyun was silent for a long time, and said, "This time, the eldest brother won't let you go so easily, that is his first child." ”

Xiao Ruoyun's question seemed to be a concession, Gu Ruan Ruan grabbed his hand, and said expectantly: "Can you help me find the second prince?" He must have a way! If he doesn't want to, you can tell him that I have other ways to do things above the court, provided that he takes me away from the Hou Mansion safely!" ”
