The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape

"No need. If we do this, if Meng Jincheng finds out, wouldn't that mean we are directly confirming that we are looking for the queen?"

Runanji's face was filled with guilt, and he knelt down hurriedly and kowtowed to plead guilty: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It is all my fault that I was careless for a moment and did not expect to fall into the enemy's evil plan."

However, facing this situation, Ling Yan did not show too much sadness. He just said slowly: "The responsibility for this matter is not entirely on you. I am afraid that Meng Jincheng is a man of deep scheming and may have been prepared for it."

Upon hearing this, Runanji quickly agreed, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"Your Majesty, now that Meng Jincheng already knows our intentions, I wonder what we should do next?"

At this moment, Ling Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible cold light flashed in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "It's okay. Let's hold off for now and see how the situation develops."

On the other hand, poor Xue Jinhua had been taken to another corner of Nanjiang City and hidden away, but what she didn't expect was that what she saw before her was a beautiful scene of clear waters and green mountains, and colorful flowers. The surroundings were unusually quiet, not only could no buildings be seen, but even a human figure could not be found.

Xue Jinhua felt her heart tighten, as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

She looked at Ximei in front of her with astonishment and confusion, and asked in a trembling voice: "Ximei, where is this? How did I get here?"

Although Meng Jincheng was burning with anger, he still forced himself not to replace Ximei immediately.

Because Xue Jinhua knew very well that ever since Ximei began to take care of her meticulously, she must have been very familiar with her situation.

Meng Jincheng knew this very well. At this critical moment, there was absolutely no room for any mistakes or errors. Otherwise, many complicated things would become difficult to explain.

Ximei naturally knew the interests involved. She lowered her head silently, thinking to herself.

After what happened last time, she has become extra cautious now.

Facing Xue Jinhua's questioning, she closed her lips and said nothing.

After a while, Ximei finally raised her head, looked at Xue Jinhua firmly, and said slowly: "Madam Xue, please don't ask any more questions. I really can't tell you anything. As long as you can stay here honestly and stop acting stubbornly, then everything will be fine. But if you insist on doing it your own way and don't listen to my advice, then I really have nothing to say."

"This is definitely not Nanjiang City! Right?" Xue Jinhua seemed not to hear what Ximei said. She just kept asking back. Her expression instantly became extremely stern, and even revealed a hint of determination.

Ximei's face turned pale as paper in an instant, her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to open her mouth to refute several times, but in the end she just pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

After a long while, she finally managed to utter a sentence: "Madam Xue, I have already told you the truth, why are you still asking so much?"

However, Xue Jinhua was not moved at all at this moment. Seeing Ximei still silent at this critical moment, her mood became more and more complicated, like a tangled mess.

Anger, disappointment, despair and other emotions intertwined in her heart, making it almost unbearable for her.

"Okay, okay! Since you won't tell me the truth at this time, then I will have no choice but to die! When the city lord knows about this, I want to see how you will explain it to him!"

Before she finished her words, a sharp piece of porcelain appeared in Xue Jinhua's hand. She raised her hand without hesitation and cut her fair and slender wrist fiercely.

Seeing this, Ximei, who was standing by, couldn't help but scream out in shock, and her face turned pale.

Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief - she never expected that the lady, who was usually gentle and docile, would do such a fierce thing today.

"Madam, please stop it immediately!" Ximei shouted anxiously.

She knew very well that if anything happened to Xue Jinhua, her life would be in danger as well.

Seeing that Xue Jinhua was holding a sharp piece of broken porcelain in her hand, Ximei flew over without hesitation.

"Ma'am, please don't hurt yourself! Ximei will tell you everything I know, okay?"

At this moment, Ximei didn't care about her bleeding hands at all. She used all her strength to hold Xue Jinhua tightly, not daring to relax even a little, for fear that she would break free if she was not careful.

"This is indeed not Nanjiang City."

If I were not in Nanjiang City now, then...

Xue Jinhua's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

Because Ling Yan should be in Nanjiang City now. If I am left here, what is the point of everything?

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Various thoughts kept flashing through Xue Jinhua's mind, and his mood became increasingly heavy.

Suddenly, as if she had lost all her sanity, she turned around and rushed out the door, still shouting, "No, I absolutely don't want to stay here, I have to get out!"

Ximei watched her leave with her own eyes, not caring about her still bleeding palm. She rushed over like an arrow, shouting anxiously, "Madam! You must not act so rashly. You must not rush out like this!"

However, Xue Jinhua was already blinded by anger and impulse, so how could she listen to her? She ignored Guixi's shouts, her steps became more and more hurried, and in the blink of an eye she had already run to the door.

Ximei, who was standing by, was extremely anxious, her heart almost in her throat.

Seeing that Xue Jinhua was about to rush out, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her. At this moment, a huge black shadow appeared in front of the door like a mountain, blocking the way of the two.

Ximei's heart tightened and she couldn't help but frown. When she saw the face of the person clearly, she was instantly frightened and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Xue Jinhua, who was standing there, also had a terribly gloomy expression on her face, with anger and vigilance flashing in her beautiful eyes.

At this moment, she had no time to care about anything else. She glared at the man in front of her and asked sternly, "Meng Jincheng! What on earth do you want to do? You'd better let me go quickly. You kidnapped me here. If Ling Yan knew about this, he would definitely not let it go and would definitely destroy your Nanjiang City!"

Facing Xue Jinhua's questioning, Meng Jincheng pretended not to hear it and just glanced at Ximei who was already panicked beside him.

As if he was sternly rebuking her: "Didn't I tell you not to speak? How could she possibly know about this?"

Seeing this, Ximei felt like being struck by lightning. Her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a plop.

Her body was shaking with extreme fear, like a candle in the wind, about to collapse.

"Meng Jincheng, don't blame her. I forced her to tell it. I threatened her that if she didn't tell the truth, I would commit suicide here. She was really helpless and had to tell the truth. If the city lord has any dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, just vent it to me, and don't embarrass her anymore."

Hearing this, Meng Jincheng's face instantly darkened. He stared at the person in front of him with his eyes wide open, and asked in a cold tone, "We've only been together for a few days, and you're actually begging for this person like this?"

Meng Jincheng looked at Ximei angrily, "Could it be that without my knowledge, he did many unspeakable things for this Madam Xue behind my back?"

When Ximei heard this, her brows furrowed tightly, and a sinister premonition suddenly flashed through her mind.

In an instant, she seemed to understand something, a look of horror appeared on her face, she knelt heavily on the ground again, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Lord City Lord, please have mercy and spare my life! I really haven't done anything. I hope you can see clearly and spare me this time!" At this time, Ximei was already scared out of her wits, tears streaming down her face.

Meng Jincheng waved his hand expressionlessly and shouted in a cold voice: "Someone come! Drag this ignorant slave away and pull out her tongue immediately!" His words were as biting as the cold wind in winter, making people shudder.

When Ximei heard this, she was so frightened that her face turned pale as a piece of paper and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

She looked at Meng Jincheng in horror, her lips trembling but she couldn't utter a word. Finally, her eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua was also shocked. She had never expected Meng Jincheng to be so cruel.

A trace of pity and pity welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but say, "City Lord Meng, this... Ximei didn't actually say anything to me. Isn't it too cruel for the City Lord to punish her so severely? Why don't you just find someone else to serve me?"

However, Meng Jincheng was not moved by Xue Jinhua's plea. He responded coldly: "Since this slave can't even take care of you well, then there is no point for her to stay in the world."

"In my opinion, we should just drag her out and execute her." After saying this, he glanced coldly at Ximei who was lying on the ground, without any sympathy in his eyes.

Xue Jinhua frowned. She knew that Meng Jincheng had done this on purpose, but it would be useless to say more at this time.

So, she could only keep silent and watch how the situation developed.

Meng Jincheng was very satisfied when he saw her like this. "Madam Xue, Ximei is mine, I can do whatever I want. Not many people know about your situation here, and I don't want to cause trouble. But I still say that you should know what you should know. If you know what you shouldn't know, it must be the girl's problem. Cutting off her tongue today is the greatest favor I can do to her. As for other things... I think Madam Xue, please don't say anything."

Seeing how determined he was, Xue Jinhua knew that it would be useless to say anything more, so she tactfully shut her mouth.

Soon, Ximei was dragged out ruthlessly like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Not long after, a loud noise was heard, followed by Ximei's miserable cries coming from far away.

But that voice lingered in Xue Jinhua's heart like a devil's sound, making her unable to calm down for a long time.

At this moment, Xue Jinhua finally realized that Meng Jincheng's man was by no means a good person. He was simply an evil ghost that had crawled up from the depths of hell! Thinking of this, Xue Jinhua couldn't help but tremble all over.

"What on earth do you want to do by bringing me to this damn place?" Since Ximei's tongue had been pulled out and she could no longer speak, she could not ask anything. Since Meng Jincheng was in front of her, Xue Jinhua decided to face him directly and ask.

However, Meng Jincheng didn't seem to care about her questioning. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a chilling sneer: "Mrs. Xue, didn't I make it clear to you before? You can ask some questions when you should, but if you shouldn't ask, you'd better shut up, otherwise the consequences will not be something you can bear."

"As for my real purpose, you don't need to worry. Just wait patiently for a while, and you will naturally understand it."

After saying this, his cold eyes slowly moved downwards, finally settling on Xue Jinhua's bulging belly, a barely perceptible cunning flashed across his face.
