Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Prince Ning was so angry that he laughed. He had already investigated everything clearly, but Chen Lerong was still making a last-ditch effort.

"Since you are so stubborn, I will just torture you."

When the bailiff heard what Prince Ning said, he picked up the whip from the shelf. The black whip emitted a dull light under the dim light.

Chen Lerong felt numb at the sight: "What do you want to do? You are forcing me to confess under torture."

"You won't tell the truth unless you suffer a little." The bailiff raised the whip in his hand coldly and swung it at Chen Lerong without hesitation.

There was a snapping sound, and Chen Lerong screamed in pain: "It really wasn't me."

Prince Ning did not respond and waved to the bailiff.

The bailiff swung the whip in his hand even harder, hitting Chen Lerong again and again.

Chen Lerong's screams became even more miserable, but she still remained stubborn and refused to admit everything.

The beatings on her body made her mind clearer, and she could think clearly now.

The reason why Prince Ning tortured her was because he found out the truth of the matter, but had no evidence to prove it.

Hopefully she'll admit everything and the case will be closed soon.

She felt so painful that she wanted to commit suicide, but she kept her mouth tightly shut. As long as she didn't admit it, Prince Ning would have no way to do anything to her.

Prince Ning felt a headache from Chen Lerong's sharp screams, so he stood up and walked out of the cell.

After a long time, the bailiff came out and said, "My Lord, Madam He was knocked unconscious."

This made Prince Ning feel incredible that a pampered official's wife could actually accept the punishment of prison.

After a long time without any response, the yamen runner asked, "What should we do next?"

Prince Ning did not give Chen Lerong any special privileges: "Just do what you have to do."

The bailiff untied the ropes on Chen Lerong and dragged her into the cell. Without Prince Ning's order, Chen Lerong was left to fend for herself.

the next day.

After the court session, He's father did not return to the He Mansion, but went directly to the government prison.

Seeing Chen Lerong lying on the ground, half dead, he was full of disbelief: "Why would the yamen runners torture you?"

Hearing the familiar voice of He's father, Chen Lerong turned her head and looked at He's father with tears in her eyes: "I can't stand it anymore, please take me out quickly."

"Okay, let me ask you first, why did the bailiffs torture you?" He's father was full of anger. Chen Lerong was his wife after all. If he didn't give Chen Lerong face, he would be giving him face.

"They're trying to force me to admit something I didn't do."

The more He's father thought about it, the more incredible it seemed. He angrily went to find the yamen runners and asked, "Why did you torture my wife?"

The yamen runner could not afford this crime: "It was Prince Ning who gave the order. If you have any questions, you can go to him."

Of course, He's father didn't dare to go to Prince Ning and said, "My wife didn't do it. Just go through the motions."

"How do you know it wasn't your wife who did it? Prince Ning asked us to bring her back, so we naturally investigated it. Your wife was involved in letting the Hu people into the capital."

This made He's father unable to refute: "I don't think you found any clues at all, but you want to torture him into confessing."

The bailiff had been following Prince Ning in handling cases, so he naturally knew everything clearly.

The matter of letting the Hu people into the capital had naturally been thoroughly investigated, and there was indeed no evidence to accuse Madam He: "How to handle the case, how Prince Ning solves the case, there is no need for Lord He to instruct."

"You..." He's father's face turned red with anger. "I will also report this matter to the emperor. Don't think of forcing a good man to confess by torture."

The bailiff's expression remained calm, for he knew very well that Prince Ning had not wrongly accused Chen Lerong.

Moreover, Prince Ning is a royal relative. If the incident reaches the imperial court, the emperor will definitely help Prince Ning: "Sir He, you still need to open your eyes and see the people around you clearly."

Father He was furious and did not listen to the words of the yamen runner: "Hurry up and release the man."

"Without Prince Ning's order, I have no right to release him."

Father He was so anxious that he was running around in circles. He had no choice but to turn around and go to the cell.

Chen Lerong, who was lying on the prison door, grabbed He's father and said, "How is it, has Prince Ning agreed to let me out?"

"No, he insisted that it was you who let the Hu people into the capital."

Hearing this, Chen Lerong almost fainted with anger. This damn Prince Ning was too difficult to deal with: "Hurry up and help me think of a solution. If I continue to stay here, I will die."

Father He sighed, "What can I do? Prince Ning is a prince, a royal relative, and I have to kneel down when I see him."

"Are you just going to leave me here and ignore me?"

"Of course not." A lot of things have happened during this period, and the relationship between the two is not as good as before. He's father is not so cold-blooded as to ignore Chen Lerong.

"I'll go find He Shulan and ask him to ask Prince Ning for mercy."

"Okay." The hope of life ignited in Chen Lerong's dark eyes. She had completely forgotten about it.

Because she let the Hu people into the capital, He Shulan was abducted by the Hu people: "You go now and let He Shulan go to find Prince Ning."

Father He did not hesitate, got on the carriage and came to the Prince's Mansion.

He Shulan asked, "What does father want to see me about?"

"Chen Lerong was captured by Prince Ning."

He Shulan knew about this, of course. Before Prince Ning arrested the man, he came to her and asked, "And then?"

Father He said anxiously, "I see she is being punished in the prison. Go and ask Prince Ning to release Chen Lerong."

"Prince Ning is impartial and selfless. Besides, I am powerless to solve the case. You want me to go to Prince Ning. Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

When He's father saw He Shulan refused to help, his heart tightened and his tone became more intimate: "Shulan, although Chen Lerong is not your biological mother, she is also your stepmother. Since she has taken care of you for so many years, please help her."

This made He Shulan angry. Over the years, Chen Lerong didn't take care of her to death. She was lucky: "It's not that I don't want to help, but I really can't do anything. No matter how noble the status of the Princess of a County is, she is just a woman in the harem."

He Shulan was unwilling to help, and He's father had no choice but to say, "I think you don't want to help Chen Lerong, and you are deliberately making excuses here."

He Shulan really didn't want to help He's father, but she didn't say it in front of He's father: "Aren't you making things difficult for me? Chen Lerong broke the law, but she can still escape legal responsibility."

He's father didn't know how to respond. He Shulan was right. The emperor was guilty of the same crime as the common people. Chen Lerong was really guilty and there was no way she could escape punishment.

If she had not committed any crime, Prince Ning would naturally let her go.
