Shengjing Noble

Chapter 540 For my own good

"The newcomer is unlucky too. After all, she is a man. If Rongniang's husband didn't do such heavy work, he wouldn't have died. She just thinks it's unfair."

"But where is the fairness in this place? It's ridiculous."

"Yeah, it's bad enough that Rong Niang got mad and suffered bad luck herself, but now the newcomer has also suffered bad luck."

……

A group of people were sighing, and Master Guan was already furious: "How dare you two losers cause trouble here? Do you believe I will beat you to death?"

When Rong Niang heard this, she immediately covered her head and screamed, “Ahhhhhhh…”

This was not the first time she had gone crazy. Master Guan had beaten her before, and once almost beat her to death, but she just wouldn't stop talking.

Now, he was too lazy to waste his energy, so he turned around and said to the guards: "According to the rules, drag these two into the water prison!"

"Yes!"

Su Lanyin suddenly realized that she had not yet received the paper and pen, and Fu Wuyang was still waiting. What should she do?

But now there was no way out, she could only follow Rong Niang and be locked up in the water dungeon.

……

The dungeon was dark, damp and cold; just entering it made one feel cold all over.

Su Lanyin had previously thought that instead of being touched by Master Guan, it would be better to jump into the underground river to take a bath. Now her wish has been fulfilled.

When she was thrown into the water, she felt so cold that her soul almost died, but Rong Niang next to her looked calm.

There was a wooden frame in the middle of the dungeon, and the two men's hands were tied to it with iron chains, forcing their bodies to be soaked in the icy river water.

However, if you really can't stand it, you can hold on to the wooden frame and temporarily suspend your feet for a while, but you can't do it for too long.

The guards locked them both up and left.

Su Lanyin confirmed that there was no one around and was about to speak when she sneezed.

Rong Niang said, "Don't be afraid. They won't let us freeze to death. They will come over in half an hour and throw us into the dungeon next door to cool down."

"You... come here often?" she wondered.

Rong Niang didn't look crazy at all at this moment. Instead, she was very calm, even a little wise.

"Well, every now and then."

"why?"

"Isn't it good to hide here?"

"Here... don't you feel cold? It's so torturous." Su Lanyin shivered, her face turning purple from the cold.

Rong Niang smiled coldly: "If you don't hide here, you can only serve that pig."

"What?" She looked surprised.

The woman gave her an unpleasant look and cursed, "Idiot."

"Why are you scolding me?"

"What's wrong with me scolding you? From the moment you came in, I tried to drive you out. Do you think I'm really crazy?"

"So you are... doing this for my own good?" Su Lanyin realized belatedly.

"Nonsense! You are so fair and clean-looking, that pig will definitely be attracted to you. Besides, you are a man, so the torture you will suffer will definitely be more terrible than mine."

Speaking of this, Rong Niang's eyes were filled with bloodthirsty hatred. She, who was not afraid of the cold, could not help but tremble.

But she was not angry because of the freezing river water, but because of the anger in her eyes.

"What...exactly did you go through?" Su Lanyin was curious.

Rong Niang's eyes suddenly dimmed, and she said lifelessly, "I can't remember how long I have been imprisoned in this hell. I only remember that when I first came here, I was forced to separate from my husband and I resisted, so they slashed me in the face."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and gently stroked the long scar that spread from the left side of her face to the right side.

Unlike Su Lanyin's centipede scar, her scar is a long scar as thick as a finger, running from the left forehead down, across the bridge of the nose, to the corner of the mouth on the right face.

Because it has not been sutured, it does not look like a centipede but more like a giant maggot.

Although the scar is scary, her facial features are delicate and it is not hard to tell that she was originally a beauty.

Su Lanyin vaguely guessed something.

The other women were all disfigured by the burns from the irons, with their faces almost covered with burn scars, making them look extremely ugly and disgusting.

Only she and Rong Niang had slightly better scars.

"What happened next?" Su Lanyin couldn't help but ask.

Rong Niang clenched her fists, and continued in a trembling and choking voice, "Later, I was thrown into the kitchen to help out, and on the first day I was abused by Master Guan. He is a vicious, dirty, perverted man who stinks of death!"

Speaking of this, she almost collapsed and wanted to vomit several times but she held it back and continued talking.

"He not only abused me himself, but also tortured me to force me to obey, and then had many guards abuse me together... In just a few months, I was tortured to the point where I would rather die than live."

"But I never gave up and persevered until I heard that my husband was beaten to death. I finally couldn't stand it anymore, went crazy and jumped into the underground river to commit suicide."

"But I didn't die. I was fished out by Master Guan's men. Then I was put in the water dungeon for the first time. After I got out, I refused to obey them and even wanted to kill them with a kitchen knife. But I couldn't beat them and Master Guan whipped me half to death."

"Unfortunately, I didn't give in. The more they humiliated me and tortured me, the stronger and more ferocious I became. I even started to go crazy. Now they have gotten used to it."

"So, even though you were madly hitting me just now, they didn't suspect anything?" Su Lanyin asked.

"Well, they thought I had gone crazy after the shock, but Master Guan looked down on other people. Who else could he humiliate after I died? That's why he held on to my worthless life until now."

Having said that, Rong Niang suddenly turned around and glared at Su Lanyin fiercely.

"But you showed up! I know that you replaced me, and soon, Master Guan will kill me, so I can only think of a way to drive you away, on the one hand to save you, and on the other hand because I can't die yet."

"But you are obviously not afraid of death?" Su Lanyin asked.

"Why do you think I've survived until today? I haven't found a chance to kill that pig yet, why should I die?"

"If it was that easy to kill him, you would have succeeded long ago and wouldn't have waited until today."

"Of course I know, but I have no choice. I can only endure it. There is hope only if I live, and the only thing that sustains me is to make him die!"

There was endless determination in Rong Niang's eyes. She hated him to the extreme. If she didn't kill Master Guan, she might die with regrets.

Su Lanyin thought about it, and then said, "Maybe I can help you."

"you?"

Rong Niang looked her up and down, with disdain flashing in her eyes.

"You should find a way to protect yourself."

"You look down on me?"

"It's not that I look down on you, but I don't want you to follow in my footsteps. Even though you are a man, you shouldn't become a plaything for those beasts."

Su Lanyin felt touched. This poor and respectable fool was imprisoned himself, but he still wanted to save another person with his insignificant strength.
