Shengjing Noble

Chapter 541: Self-destruction

Faced with such a kind and innocent Rong Niang, how could she just stand by and watch her die?

"If I tell you that I really have a way to help you get revenge, would you believe me?"

She stood up straight and looked at Rong Niang seriously. At this moment, her heart was burning with warmth and she felt that the icy underground river was nothing special.

Rong Niang met her gaze and was slightly moved, but still unwilling to implicate innocent people.

"You don't have to help me, because I don't want to live. On the contrary, if you do some work here, you may have a chance to wait until the day you see the light of day again. Although the hope is slim, it is not completely impossible."

"What about you? Have you ever thought about seeing the light of day again?" Su Lanyin asked back.

Rong Niang was stunned. She seemed full of surprise. She thought about it again and again, then smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Now that you've reminded me of this, it seems that I have never thought about seeing the light of day again. Even if I live to see that day, what's the point? I'm already a broken flower, withered willow, and my body and mind are filthy. How can I have the face to live on?"

"You are not a broken flower, you were just bitten by a dog, that's nothing!"

"You're a man, so of course you think it's nothing! But I can't forget it... I'm sorry to my husband after all. If I get out alive, how will those who know my past look at me? They will curse me with all kinds of vicious words... A woman like me should have ended her life long ago..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Su Lanyin interrupted her angrily, "What do you mean by being sorry to your husband? You are in danger, but you put your life before your chastity. Do you think you are sorry? Then let me ask you, if you take your life so lightly, are you sorry for your parents who gave birth to you?"

"I……"

Rong Niang was stunned and speechless for a moment, then she covered her face and burst into tears.

"Dad... Mom... I don't know how you are doing now... I miss you so much..."

Su Lanyin patted her back to comfort her: "Chastity is a constraint imposed on women in this world. A woman is expected to risk her life to protect a cold memorial archway. Is it worth it?"

"We should live for ourselves. Don't give up on yourself just because someone touched you. The person who hurt you is the one who is truly filthy, not you. Rong Niang, we will all see the light of day again. You must stay alive."

"I... I don't know..." Rong Niang trembled, her eyes full of confusion.

But her inner thoughts had begun to waver, and she even showed a desire to see the light of day again.

……

Finally the day passed.

Fu Wuyang returned to the cave but did not see Su Lanyin. He began to feel a little uneasy and sat at the head of the bed waiting silently.

Even after everyone returned to bed and began to rest, Su Lanyin still did not show up.

He walked to the door and saw a guard standing there. He asked in a low voice: "Why didn't that...little guy who came with me come back?"

Su Lanyin was a rather special male slave. She was thin and small and was sent to a place like the kitchen.

So the guards have some impression of it.

The man thought for a moment, then said impatiently, "She got into a fight with someone and was thrown into the dungeon. She won't be released until tomorrow at least."

"Water prison?" Fu Wuyang panicked and begged, "How could she fight with others? I beg you, let her go..."

"Get lost!" The guard pushed him away impatiently, then showed the whip in his hand, "Are you looking for death? If you don't want to be beaten, go back and sleep!"

"I..." Fu Wuyang glanced at the whip and thought that if he made a fuss at this time, it would definitely attract attention.

If Fu Mingheng finds out, won’t all our efforts be wasted?

I just heard him say that Su Lanyin was imprisoned in a water dungeon and would be released tomorrow, which means her life is not in danger.

Thinking of this, he could only turn around and go back to the cave helplessly.

I just sat on the bed and couldn't fall asleep.

He endured until he woke up, and with dark circles under his eyes, he quickly ran to the mining area. While working, he looked for opportunities to inquire about the news of the water dungeon.

Finally, I heard some useful information when the two guards were chatting.

"Have you heard? Yesterday, Master Guan's bed slave went crazy again and had a fight with the new little guy."

"I heard that both of them were locked up in the water dungeon. I don't know why they suddenly started fighting. It's really strange."

"Why else? It must be jealousy. My dear, I heard that Master Guan has taken a fancy to that new pretty boy."

"So, the previous bed slave named Rong Niang was unhappy, so she went crazy?"

"This woman is such a slut. She refused to obey Master Guan before, and now she's fighting for his favor again because there's a new guy."

"Nonsense, being able to be nurtured by Master Guan, she resisted on the surface, but in fact, she was secretly happy in her heart."

"I experienced it once. Although the woman's face was ruined, she had a nice body and was very lewd when she screamed."

"If this new guy is also taken down by Master Guan, I would also like to try it. I heard that those fair and tender young prostitutes are much more fun than women."

……

The two men laughed obscenely, and Fu Wuyang, who was hiding in a mine pit and eavesdropping, wanted to rush up and twist their heads off.

He clenched his fist and hit the ore, letting the back of his hand bleed, and then he used the pain to barely suppress the anger in his heart.

Damn beast, why did he have to plot against him when he could have any other ideas?

Very good! That man called Guan Ye and those who are talking, none of them will survive!

……

Su Lanyin and Rong Niang were dragged out of the dungeon and knelt on the ground, leaning against each other and trembling.

After being soaked in water repeatedly for a whole night, the two people were almost stiff, their faces were pale and their lips were purple.

Rong Niang was slightly better, but Su Lanyin had already begun to show signs of coma and fever.

"Ugly thing, why aren't you so arrogant anymore? Oh, are you having a fever? Hahahaha...you're going to die hahaha..."

Rong Niang laughed deliberately, which attracted the attention of the guard next to her. The man came over and kicked Su Lanyin.

She closed her eyes and did not respond.

Seeing this, the guard turned to his companion and said, "This one is going to die. Go ask Master Guan whether to throw her directly into the underground river or send her to a cave and let her die."

"Yes!"

After a while, the guard came back, followed by Master Guan.

Seeing Su Lanyin lying on the ground half dead, Guan Ye's eyes flashed with reluctance. How could she fall ill before eating? She was really useless.

"Throw it into the cave and let her carry it herself."

"Yes!"

Su Lanyin was dragged back to the cave, and no one paid any attention to her anymore.

As for Rong Niang, she was carried on Guan Ye's shoulders and taken away.

What happens next is self-evident.

But her eyes were dull and expressionless, as if she had long been accustomed to it.
