Chapter Thirty Eight
The Woman in the Rumors

In the deep of the night where no one was there, a dark shadow flashed at the corner of the firewood room. Before this person could near the room itself, suddenly several lamps lit up in the surroundings. He looked in surprise and found many people surrounding him.

"Qian yeye here has waited so many days. Finally caught this rat," Qian Chang Xin held a lamp as he came out of the corner. He looked disdainfully at this servant in the guise of a manservant and raised his hand, "Bind him up, don't disturb anyone else."

The servants rushed in. Before the person could speak, he was gagged, bound and dragged away.

"Stupid trash," Finishing, he spat on the ground. He kicked the door to the firewood room with one foot and looked down at Bai Zhi who was tied and gagged in the corner. He gave a joyless smile and said: "Bai Zhi gunaing, your accomplice has already been captured. Why don't we have a chat and you tell me who let you into the fu?"

Bai Zhi squirmed against the rope on her body but the ropes were too tight and she could not escape. She glared hatefully at Qian Chang Xin.

"Free her mouth," Qian Chang Xin took a whip from a person behind him. He slowly whipped it on his palm, his face still carrying a harmonious smile, "Bai Zhi guniang, have you thought what you are going to say?"

"I don't know anything," Bai Zhi hatefully turned her head away, not looking at Qian Chang Xin, "I just wanted to fly a paper luan, wang ye has the wrong person."

Qian Change Xin was too lazy to argue with her but only said impatiently: "There's not much difference between you saying or not. But it's such a pity for your old and young in the family, and the newly married sister of yours. How about we give you a crime of poisoning wang ye, wonder what would your family have to suffer?"

"Shameless!" Bai Zhi turned her head and stared straight at Qian Chang Xing, "What do you want to do?"

"You aren't the first person to praise yeye this way," Qian Chang Xin uncoiled the whip, the smile on his face even more visible. Suddenly the whip dealt a blow on Bai Zhi's body, "Usually the people who praise yeye like this, by now their teeth won't even be on their body."

The pain caused her body to shrink, Bai Zhi stated with a white face: "Nubi is innocent."

"Since you are willing to give up on your family to protect your master, then yeye won't care about your family either," Qian Chang Xin proclaimed cheerfully, "Tomorrow, I'll let your family go first. Hopefully when you go down to see them, you can still face them."

Tears were streaming down Bai Zhi's face. She covered her wound and chocked out: "It's His Highness Ning Wang that wanted nubi to pay attention to the movement of the fu. Except nubi's status was too low and couldn't pass out any news. A few days earlier, His Highness Ning Wang wanted nubi to investigate how wang ye treated wang fei in the fu. Nubi assumed this wasn't such an important matter and so dared to pass on the news." She wasn't afraid of death but was afraid of it involving her family.

"That's nonsense, His Highness Ning Wang is a straightforward and honest person, you can't slander him!" Qian Chang Xin disagreed, "Such vile slander, wang ye won't believe you."

"It's true. A while ago, nubi's didi entered Ning Wang Fu for a job. Nubi had no other way and did wrong things. Gonggong, please investigate carefully, nubi really didn't pass on any information." Bai zhi cried as she knelt in front of Qian Chang Xin.
