This young adult has such an imposing aura that people dare not even look at him directly.

The group walked straight towards Aunt Xiao's cell. When passing by the cell doors of Bian Chengrong's young masters, Yu Linlang glanced at them inadvertently.

Bian Chengrong rushed over from the corner with disheveled hair and dirty face, threw himself on the gate and roared, "Yu Linlang! Yu Linlang, when are you going to let us out?"

Five full days had passed since we met that day.

The guys around Bian Chengrong almost lost the strength to call out.

The prison only gave them one meal a day, but they had no idea about the next meal after the previous one. The only feeling they had was... weak.

Definitely hungry!

Yu Linlang glanced at Bian Chengrong and sneered.

Counting the days, these young masters have probably been in jail for more than ten days. Now they all look haggard, dirty and smelly. How can they still look like the young masters of noble families?
Nothing more than that.

She took the stick from the jailer and knocked it twice at the gate, her eyes full of sarcasm. "Master Bian, apart from your gorgeous clothes and your impressive status, you are just an ordinary person."

Bian Chengrong's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously grabbed the wooden fence door and shouted hysterically, "What on earth do you want to do, Yu Linlang? Is there any law here?"

"The law of the king? You're talking to me about the law of the king now?" Yu Linlang almost laughed out loud, "Do you really think no one knows about your dirty thoughts and ideas?"

"The law of the king, do you have any law in your heart, eh?"

"I'm telling you, all the nuns in Shuiyue Temple have confessed now. All their confessions are on file at the Dali Temple. Every single one of them is clear and detailed. No one can escape. Their job is to find you all kinds of daughters from famous families according to your orders."

"Mr. Chang, you like the gracefulness and gentleness of Jiangnan women, and your targets are mostly girls around 14 or 15 years old who are waiting to be married."

"What about you? Master Bian, what do you like?"

Bian Chengrong retracted his hand in horror and took a small step back.

"You like those who are about to bloom, preferably those tender and affectionate girls with moles between their eyebrows. The younger they are, the more you prefer them, right?"

Yu Linlang swung a stick and hit the fence hard, with a chill in her eyes, "Shuiyue Temple is based on the orders placed by customers like you, and has a clear goal to collect those sources of goods!"

"No matter what crazy things Shuiyue Temple did, no matter whether it was the Pei family behind it. All of you are involved. Don't say that this matter has nothing to do with you. It's you who placed the order to buy the so-called goods!"

"After the Dali Temple finalizes this case, those who deserve it will be put to death, those who deserve it will be imprisoned, and those who deserve it will be exiled, you little bastards."

Yu Linlang pointed at them, her eyes full of sarcasm, "The good days are over."

The tall and thin young man who was previously called Young Master Chang by Yu Linlang had an untidy beard and tears streaming down his face. He seemed to be truly frightened. He rushed to the fence and cried for mercy, banging his head against it desperately, looking extremely distressed.

Yu Linlang didn't even look at him, she just raised her finger and pointed at Bian Chengrong, and ordered arrogantly, "You'd better be quiet. If you don't want me to torture you, just curl up and don't show your head again. Do you understand?"

At the little girl's command, Bian Chengrong crouched to one side with his neck shrunk, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to look up again.

The jailer walked forward with the jailers, pulled out the whip and swung it at the fence a few times, pointing at the restless young men and glaring at them.

They are all idiots. They dare to show off in front of Lord Yuhu. They think their lives are too long. "You are still so energetic. It's because you ate too much." Yu Linlang said coldly, "From now on, you will only eat once every two days."

She glanced back with cold eyes, "Limited supply."

"Yes, sir." The jailer's heart skipped a beat and they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lord Yuhu again.

Yu Linlang asked the jailer to open Aunt Xiao's cell door and led everyone in.

Aunt Xiao was still sitting on the wooden bed covered with a straw mat, slowly combing her tangled hair with a comb.

As time went by, Aunt Xiao looked more haggard, and her hair had not been washed for several days, becoming even more dry and messy than when she saw it that day.

Yu Linlang smiled and asked the jailer to bring a few long benches for them to sit on.

Aunt Xiao glanced at Lord Yuhu who was sitting in front of her. Her cracked lips trembled but she didn't say a word. She still lowered her head silently and combed her dry hair.

Yu Linlang smiled and raised her hand, and Lord Linghe immediately handed her the thick information booklet in a servile manner.

Yu Linlang sighed softly, crossed her legs, flipped through the information in her hand and said casually, "Auntie, you must have gained a lot of benefits in the Zheng family over the years."

"Your family was not strong enough, so you couldn't become the legal wife of Zheng Hanlin when you were young. Fortunately, Zheng Hanlin loved you deeply and never forgot you."

"Master Yuhu, what do you want to say?" Aunt Xiao suddenly raised her head, a fierce light in her eyes, "Yes, I come from a poor family, but this is not a reason for you to slander and trample on me."

"Did I step on you?" Yu Linlang was curious. "I said your family is not strong, isn't that true? I said you have made a lot from the Zheng family over the years, helped your family get out of poverty, built houses for your two brothers, married them off, had children, and supported me, aren't those true?"

Aunt Xiao's face trembled.

"These are your best qualities as a daughter and a sister." Yu Linlang crossed her legs and looked at her seriously, "You are very devoted to your family, right? You have taken care of your two older brothers, and now you have to take care of the youngest and most useless brother."

Aunt Xiao looked at Yu Linlang coldly, "My Lord, what do you want to say?"

"I want to ask, you have done so much for them, is it worth it?"

Aunt Xiao remained silent.

Yu Linlang chuckled, "I haven't seen anyone from the Xiao family come to visit you these days. I haven't issued a visitation ban on you."

Aunt Xiao suddenly raised her head and looked at her coldly again, "My lord, please speak frankly if you have anything to say."

"I asked you before, as a concubine who already holds great power, why do you want to make things difficult for Zheng Manyin?"

"What was your purpose in selling her? How did Zhou Lanting get in your way? Why did you have to find someone to poison him to death?"

Aunt Xiao smiled charmingly, "Why, have you found the answers to these questions?"

Yu Linlang nodded slowly. "Before we talk about this, let me tell you something. Your two personal maids and the old nanny have all signed a confession to have killed Xiao Cui, and pointed out that everything was instructed by you."

Aunt Xiao paused for a moment while holding the comb. "Sir, isn't it normal for a wealthy family to beat and kill a few disobedient maids and servants?" (End of this chapter)
