In the cellar of the Princess's Mansion, twelve Night Pearls adorned the walls, making them very bright.

There were dozens of huge wine jars in the cellar, as if it were a wine cellar. However, the contents of the wine jars made it hard to believe that the other jars were purely brewing wine.

Without his hands and feet, without his ears, because of the cotton thread, his eyelids could not be opened. Only his lips were still moving, and only his nose could still breathe.

A woman appeared to be around forty years old, but her hands were wrinkled and dried up, proving that she was no longer a woman. She was old, and the blade in her hand still shone with a cold light under the light of the Night Pearls.

The blade was aimed at a child. He was sobbing unclearly, his eyes were wet, and he was cowering in front of the girl. The girl seemed to have turned a blind eye to the fear of the child.

Man is the product of cruelty.

The woman was cruelly making this kind of product.

Very quickly, the woman fell into a frenzy.

"Bitch, you stole my hands, who do you think you are?"

"You dare to ride on this princess' head with the seed that has smoothly emerged from your stomach?"

"In the end, didn't you, him, your precious son all fall into this princess' hands?"

"Hahaha …"

Outside the ventilation window of the cellar, Mu Hua's eyes were glaring at the scene inside. A violent aura surged from his body, and even his pupils had a tinge of blood. He was about to be unable to hide himself, but someone was covering his eyes from behind.

After an unknown period of time, the cries of the child could be heard. However, the aura of the painting had returned to its calm state.

Taking a deep breath, he said to the person behind him, "Miss, I... I'm fine now. "

Lu JinNian released his hand and walked in front of Mu's screen. Seeing that the color of his eyes didn't change, he sighed, "Can you bear it?"

Mu Painting frowned. "Miss, I can …"

"No," Lu JinNian shook his head, "Not yet."

The painting was discouraged.

Seeing that he was just discouraged and not slapping him with a knife, Lu JinNian didn't know whether or not he should be happy about this change. He could only pat him and say, "Let's meet up with Mu Shu first and deal with the hidden guards."

Mu Shu found them before the two of them went to the rendezvous point. He pulled Mu Painting to make sure that he showed no signs of going crazy before he heaved a sigh of relief. With a cold expression, he asked Lu Jinsheng, "You know what this place is like, it's purposely for Mu Painting to see it!"

Lu JinNian didn't feel that there was anything wrong with a subordinate speaking to her in such a manner. He said honestly, "I only roughly know, I don't know for sure."

Mu Shu's face turned sullen. "My young mistress has always been scheming something, and the rough outline of the matter is not far from the truth. What if my painting is unable to control it!" His cultivation went berserk once again!

Before Mu Shu could finish his words, Mu Painting could not hear him. Lu JinNian knew what he was going to say, but he had no intention of reflecting on it. He simply stared straight into Mu Painting's eyes.

No matter how dazed Mu Painting was, he could feel that the atmosphere between the two of them wasn't right. With furrowed brows, he stood in front of Lu JinNian decisively. "Mu Shu, how can you treat the Young Miss like this!"

"Mu Xi and I have been together for six years and we have long been like siblings. He, I, am not as light as him, but I can do things that you can't do, and furthermore, I definitely won't harm Mu Xi."

The painting could not understand what they were trying to do and said matter-of-factly, "Of course the Miss won't harm me." He paused, then continued, "It doesn't matter even if you harm me. Miss always has her own reasons."

Mu Shuquan was infuriated, beginning to doubt if Mu Painting staying by Lu Jin Nian's side was a good decision. Lu Jin Nian looked at Mu Painting in amusement before saying, "Alright, time to get back to business. Mu Shuwen should have already figured out the location of the princess' secret guard, so we can do our best to deal with it without making any sound."

Mu Painting's eyes lit up. "I guarantee that I will be able to complete the mission!"

Mu Shu harrumphed coldly as an answer.

Lu Jinnian shrugged his shoulders. Mu Painting was happy to speak from her point of view, but if you're not happy, bring it up. What's the point of being arrogant and pampered?

"..."

Who could actually think of such a plan? Lu Jinniang pinched the center of his brows. She couldn't do it anyway.

She was just trying her best. She was just being more tolerant.

In order not to alert the others, in order to catch them all in one fell swoop, in order not to let the experiences of these children repeat themselves, and to not increase the number of victims …

Lu JinNian didn't deny that she was cold-hearted and cold-blooded, allowing the cruel and bloody scene in the cellar to continue happening. She didn't know if it was good or bad, she only knew that everything that happened before her eyes was shaking her heart.

She had once been told that justice was a good word and that the price paid for it was greater than the so-called sin.

That is why most people love moderation and remain neutral.

He wanted to do everything he could, but he didn't want to pay the price.

That was in her previous life, and she tried not to think about it.

If she had really been like what she had thought after her rebirth, just being a retired official and being a lady of the General's Estate wouldn't have come into contact with such a thing and she wouldn't have cared about it.

She couldn't throw it away, but she couldn't let it go either. This was something that had been there since her previous life, an unbreakable shackle.

One hour, four hours …

The woman had already tidied up the space in the cellar. She put the toyed child into a jute bag, and with a satisfied expression, she walked to one side, pulled open the hidden trap with her fingers, and dragged the jute bag as she walked in.

After the figure disappeared into the dark passage, the door to the dark passage closed up.

Lu JinNian's heart was clear. Taking a deep breath, a smile appeared on his face once again.

Princess Rongqing, it's time to end this.

In the courtyard of the Princess's Mansion, Mu Shu and Mu Painting were tied up behind a large group of people. The two of them were staring at each other.

However, Mu Shu's face was filled with dissatisfaction, while Mu Shu's was filled with helplessness … Pet.

With an 'you're ruthless, you're shameless, you're causing trouble for no reason' expression, Mu Tu said to Mu Shu, "Why? You've captured more people than me!"

Mu Shu, "…"

"Even though I was paying attention to my strength, there were still a lot of people who saw the blood. Why is it that yours is still intact?"

"…"

"I don't even use my weapon, and you even borrowed my blade. How did you do that?!"

"…" Son, I took the knife because I was afraid that you would cut people like you did watermelons!

However, he didn't know how to explain it, yet it seemed that Mu Shuwen was enjoying the interaction with him. Lu JinNian knew that this proud and pampered fur had already gone with the flow.
