Taoye didn't know what Rong Jiu was thinking, but the fifth young master's words just now made her relax and enjoy the warm soup.
However, it is not advisable to soak in the hot spring for too long. After another quarter of an hour, the two of them went ashore.
When the two of them got dressed and returned to the pavilion, Pei Weinan and others also came back.
Several people smelled faintly of wine, but they didn't look like they had drunk too much.
After soaking in the hot spring, it's time to get down to business.
Pei Weinan, Gu Shiyu and Pan Sheng'an asked Fan Yuan to go hunting and sent him away while looking for the yard.
Chu Yizuo brother and sister followed Rong Jiu to the place where Qingmei was imprisoned.
"Fifth Young Master, I am afraid! What if she still wants to harm me..."
When they arrived at the door of the woodshed, Taoye nestled tightly on Rongjiu's chest and said softly.
"It's okay. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to hurt you!"
Rong Jiu hugged the person in her arms and comforted him.
"But the fifth young master..."
Taoye raised her head and wanted to say more, but Rong Jiu promised softly: "She will be left to you to deal with today. You can do whatever you want!"
"Really?"
Taoye's voice became softer and softer.
"certainly!"
"Open the door!"
Rong Jiu raised her head and ordered the two boys guarding the door.
"yes!"
The two boys hurriedly agreed to open the door.
Rong Jiu walked in front with Tao Ye in his arms, and Chu Yizuo followed behind them.
After entering the door, Rong Jiu turned around and told Xingyun and the others: "You two stay outside and don't let anyone else come in and disturb you!"
"yes!"
Xingyun and Guiyun closed the door and stood at the door.
The two young men looked at each other and understood that the fifth young master wanted to vent his anger on the girl in his arms, so they consciously walked a little further away.
"Woooo..."
Qingmei's eyes burst with surprise when she saw the visitor, but being gagged and bound, she could only raise her head and sob.
But the first person to step forward was Chu Yizuo, and he didn't come to her, but to the maid next to him. With a gloomy face, he pinched open the maid's mouth and took out a small grain. The pills were inserted.
Then drag the person to the other side.
Qingmei saw with her own eyes that the maid was still trembling all over, but when Chu Yizuo came back, she had no sound.
She opened her eyes wide in horror, looked at the person coming with the medicine bottle, and kept shaking her head and shrinking back to the wall.
Seeing that Chu Yizuo's expression did not change and his footsteps did not stop, Qingmei looked at Rong Jiu with pleading eyes and kept whimpering from her mouth.
When Chu Yizuo squatted down, Qingmei's neck actually tilted back at an incredible arc, showing that she was extremely frightened.
The gagged mouth was removed.
With a bang, Qingmei rolled to the ground with all her strength. She raised her head and begged to Rong Jiu and Tao Ye: "Ah... no, fifth young master, please save me! Tao Ye, I don't dare to do it anymore, please let me go." I!"
"If you want me to spare you, you can, but you have to say something useful!"
Rong Jiu's face was cold.
"Something useful?"
Qingmei murmured, and then cried and begged: "But I have told the fifth young master that I am the fourth prince, and I have also told you everything the fourth prince asked me to do. I really have nothing to hide! "
"If that's the case, then you don't need to save your life!"
Rong Jiu glanced at Chu Yizuo.
Seeing that Chu Yizuo's hand was already on the bottle and she was leaning slightly, as if she was going to put poison into her mouth at the next moment, Qingmei hurriedly said: "I'll think about it again, please let me think about it again, Master Fifth! "
Qingmei's memory improved a lot due to her panic, but she couldn't think of anything new after thinking for a long time. Last time, she had already told everything she knew about the fourth prince to save her life. If she had known about it, she would have kept it a secret. Let’s leave it to this moment.
The fourth prince's matter was not settled, so what else did she know about.
Qingmei kept mumbling for half an hour but still couldn't think of anything. Taoye thought about it and took a step forward.
"Ayuan, be careful, don't get too close!"
Chu Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop his sister.
"Brother, let me just say a few words to her!"
"The fifth young master and the eldest brother are here, how can something happen to me?"
Taoye said softly.
Chu Yizuo hesitated for a moment, then saw that Rong Jiu behind him had no intention of stopping, so he put down his hand.
Taoye was not very close, and squatted down one step away from Qingmei:
"When you first arrived at Zhuangzi, were you forced by Manager Fan? With your temperament, you would never surrender to him willingly!"
"Manager Fan wants your body. He usually loves you in every possible way, but now he is indifferent to you. He is really not a good man!"
Taoye's voice was gentle and there was no trace of ridicule or gloating in her tone. Qingmei was frightened and easily listened to these words.
Besides, she just wanted to save her life. To save her life, she had just begged Tao Ye.
"Yes, he was the one who threatened me, saying that in this village, anyone who disobeys him will not have a good life. If I don't obey, he will throw me to those rough people. I was starved and imprisoned for many days... …He comes every day…”
When Qingmei said this, a bright light flashed in her eyes and she stopped mumbling.
Taoye stood up and stepped aside.
"If the slave says something useful, can the Fifth Young Master really spare the slave's life?"
After being frightened, Qingmei became wise for a rare moment.
"My words always stand true, otherwise you wouldn't be alive today!"
Rong Jiu's voice was still cold and not comforting, but Qing Xing felt more confident when she saw this familiar expression.
"It's the second day of my imprisonment. I've been hungry for two days. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I wanted to trade the silver hairpin I hid with the boy outside the door for some food!"
"As soon as I reached the door while holding on to the wall, I heard Manager Fan's voice outside!"
"The slave was so frightened that he crouched down quickly. Fortunately, there was a boy outside who called him. The boy's voice was very low, but the slave heard the words "Second Miss" really!"
"Second Miss and Aunt Luo must be coveting this hot spring village, and there must be no good intentions in coming to see Manager Fan. If Fifth Young Master investigates carefully, he will definitely find clues!"
Qingmei actually felt a little guilty, because with her brain, she didn't think this news was particularly useful.
Second lady?
It turned out not to be Aunt Luo.
Taoye was secretly confused.
The second young lady is indeed scheming, but she cherishes feathers. Aunt Luo should be the one who takes care of these things outside.
Could it be...
Taoye looked at Rongjiu's face.
He had enough power to buy the yard here and was related to the second lady. King Yong was very suspicious.
However, Taoye did not say this out loud. The fifth young master told her not to talk about the affair in Ningguo Temple.
Rong Jiu clasped his hands behind his back and pondered for a while, then said to Chu Yi, "Excuse me, Brother Chu!"
Regardless of whether Qingmei said anything useful today, he had no intention of letting her go.
