772 Marrying You (3)

Pei Lang cleared his throat and coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood. Then, he smiled with difficulty and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I have nothing to do with the Shen family. I can’t answer your question. I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed.”

Fu Xiuyi looked at him expressionlessly. After a while, he smiled. He clapped his hands and brushed away the blood that splattered on his body. “Sir, I’m very impressed by you and curious as to how long you can last.” He waved at the person beside him. “The torture methods used so far don’t seem to satisfy Mr. Pei. Increase the intensity of the torture.”

He took a step back and was about to leave when he suddenly thought of something and said, “Sir, even if you don’t tell me, I can still find out the secrets of the Shen family myself. I heard that the Shen family values loyal followers. I wonder if General Shen will send someone to save you from hell?”

With that, he left with the guard.

After Fu Xiuyi left, Pei Lang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. This prince, who looked gentle, actually had such a vicious and ruthless side. However, what Fu Xiuyi said at the end made him smile bitterly.

It was true that the Shen family valued loyal followers, but the person he was working for was Shen Miao. Shen Miao only cared about her family. Other than her family and friends, others probably meant nothing to her. As for whether someone would come to save him, Pei Lang felt that it was unlikely. Not to mention whether Shen Miao had the ability to find this secret dungeon, back then, when Shen Miao sent him to hide by Fu Xiuyi’s side as a spy, she should have expected this day to come. Shen Miao knew that once Fu Xiuyi found out, Pei Lang would definitely end up in an extremely miserable state, but she still did it.

His rationality told him that Shen Miao would not come to save him, but Pei Lang still had a trace of hope in his heart. He could not explain how he felt about Shen Miao. At first, Shen Miao used Liu Ying to threaten him. Because of that, Pei Lang even felt a little disgusted with her. He hated the feeling of being threatened and manipulated. However, later on, for some reason, he really treated himself as Shen Miao’s person. He would worry about Shen Miao and do his best to be a chess piece for her. Pei Lang could not understand what he was doing. He thought that he probably owed Shen Miao something in his previous life, which was why he followed her so devotedly in this life. The guard in charge of punishing him came again. Pei Lang threw away the thoughts in his mind and got ready for a new round of torture.

What he did not know was that in Prince Rui’s mansion, Huo Long and Nightingale were sitting on a tree and eating sunflower seeds. Nightingale asked, “Shopkeeper Ji and Young Master Gao haven’t come out yet. How long are they going to guard the tower prison?”

Huo Long spat out the seed shell and said, “I think Master has completely forgotten about the two of them. Master has been busy these days. I heard that there’s a letter from the Daliang, telling Master to hurry up. Master probably wants to finish these things and return to the palace as soon as possible.”

“You’re right, but Shopkeeper Ji has been staying in the tower prison. What about the information gathered at the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop?”

Huo Long rolled her eyes at Nightingale. “The Black Feather Army will naturally report the information to Master. Besides, Shopkeeper Ji only pays attention to strange things. There’s nothing serious. What are you worried about?”

When Nightingale heard that, she felt that what Huo Long said made sense.

Sometimes, a small change would cause the entire trajectory of the matter to change.

In the study upstairs in the Exiled Immortal Pawnshop, there was already a thick stack of letters in the corner of the desk. The letter at the bottom had three words written on it.
