In just a few short days, there were already more than a hundred rules set down by Situ Jingyu, and no one in the manor dared to make a sound.

In order to establish her prestige, she had arranged the side courtyard to be like the main hall, so much so that every flower and grass couldn't be deviated.

All of the servants who served Luo Shang were sent to other places by her. There were even some who took a beating from her every day, and if anyone said anything more, they would be beaten up severely.

No one dared to say anything, much less get angry.

He had heard early in the morning that due to the servants' absence, the three thousand dollars of his Peace Lightness Hall had been burnt to ashes by the candle flame. This was a great offense against the clan, so this morning, the sounds of whipping in the great hall continued to spread throughout the entire Duke's Palace and even the sounds of crying could be clearly heard from every corner of the Phoenix-resting Chamber Inner Palace.

"Miss, you can't go. Fiery Blaze had practiced for three thousand yuan in vain. This is against the big taboo, even if you go, you can't save them." Ah Yu always stood in front of the door to prevent Luo Shang from leaving the room even half a step.

Situ Jingyu was vicious, the 10 servants were destined to never live, furthermore she had always hated Luo Shang, and was worried about not finding any reason, if she went back now, she would definitely not let Luo Shang go.

"Miss! Not only will you be unable to save them, you will also only let Situ Jingyu's scheme succeed. You know, by doing this, she is trying to lure you in.

Ah Yu had asked around before, and all the servants were personal girls that had served Luo Shang before. Luo Shang had been grounded, and none of them were willing to follow Situ Jingyu, willingly staying in the Peace Lightness Hall to clean up the mess.

Now that Situ Jingyu had gotten the chance, how could she stop so easily? Killing someone without being able to move her head, based on Situ Jingyu's personality, she would definitely investigate further.

How could Luo Shang not understand, that was a dozen lives, even if there was a chance, she would do her best.

She slowly lifted her eyes, looked at Ah Yu, and calmly said: "It's precisely because I know, that's why I can't let them innocently die because of me."

Ah Yu shook his head. With her power in your hands, Miss should know how you want to fight her. Situ Jingyu hates you to the bones, so what you should do now is to keep your mouth shut and not ask. Wait for the right time. "

"If they were implicated because of me, would they be able to survive even if they had to wait for the right moment?" Luo Shang smiled. No matter what, she would go.

Seeing that she was so stubborn, Ah Yu could no longer sincerely advise her. She directly closed the door, and then, the sound of a door being locked sounded out.

Luo Shang frowned as she knocked on the door. She was anxious and had no choice but to speak. Ah Yu, quickly open the door. I really cannot watch them die because of me. "

"They are innocent …"

The sound of the clapping could be heard unceasingly, causing Luo Shang's heart to burn with anxiety.

Ah Yu looked at the door that was locked and held the key in her hand tightly. They were innocent, but Miss was even more innocent. If you don't go today, you will feel guilty towards them, but if I let Miss be in any danger today, Ah Yu will definitely not forgive himself. "

She turned and walked down the steps, her back to the door. Breathing deeply, she said, "Even if the Lady would blame me, I would never let you out."

Her entire life, Nalan Yanran had been trying to return the favor she owed to by telling her to take good care of Luo Shang. Even though she had been placed in danger several times, this time, she would definitely not let anything go wrong with Luo Shang.

Hearing the footsteps that were getting smaller and smaller outside the door, Luo Shang knew that she had left. She gently leaned on the door, not knowing what to do.

Luo Shang sat on the ground and half raised her forehead, when suddenly, Zhuo Jin's voice came from the outside of the door.

"Miss, are you inside? "Why is the door locked, Miss …"

Hearing Zhuo Jin's voice, Luo Shang regained her hope and immediately responded to her.

The confused Zhuo Jin picked up the axe and cut the lock, before she could speak, Luo Shang had already ran out of the courtyard.

In the courtyard outside the great hall, over a dozen maids knelt on the ground, their bodies covered in whip marks. Their faces were red and swollen with bruises, and their bodies were riddled with wounds.

The woman sitting on the stone table in the shade was wearing a brocade golden silk sweater. The large pearls were inlaid with South Sea gems to absorb the essence. The magnificent and precious steps on her head gently swayed with her meticulous movements.

She frowned slightly, her almond-shaped eyes casually gazing at the cup in her hand. Her eyebrows were raised in a domineering manner, her red lips were pursed, and a cold smile was hanging on the corner of her lips.

"Princess Jing, you still have to... Do you want to continue? " The servant holding the thick and sturdy long whip asked cautiously. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it easily.

Situ Jingyu leisurely enjoyed the refreshing feeling of the servant girl waving her fan. She raised her eyelashes, proudly raised the corner of her lips, and said in a neither cold nor hot manner. "If he's not dead, then let's continue."

This woman's heart was as vicious as a snake and scorpion's. Under her gentle and weak appearance, her smile was like that of a demoness.

Although the servants could not bear to beat them to death like this, there was nothing they could do. If they did not have enough strength to listen to the women, then the next one to die would be them.

The clean and tidy ground was stained red with blood, their bodies looked like they were going to be lashed to death, but Situ Jingyu did not let them escape so quickly, she had to torture this group of people to death.

Yun Xiu, who had always been standing behind Situ Jingyu, imposingly walked forward. Because she had regained her former position, she was naturally even more arrogant than before.

"Esteemed wangfei, the three thousand yuan of training has ended. Whipping them to death like this, isn't that too easy on this group of lowly commoners?" Yun Xiu coughed a few times, and glanced at the servants whose faces were completely unrecognizable on the ground.

He thought, it was well-deserved for them to follow Luo Shang. Otherwise, they wouldn't have to suffer the hardships of today's punishment.

Situ Jingyu casually asked her. Then, what do you think we should do? "

Yun Xiu thoughtfully smiled, and walked down the stairs step by step. Her heart was hanging high in the air like a wild wolf, and with a cold snort, she spoke each word very slowly.

"Pass — nail — board."

When the crowd heard this, they all became terrified. No one dared to raise their heads, and all of their faces were deathly pale. Their backs were drenched with sweat, and their heartbeats accelerated accordingly. Everyone knew that Yun Xiu's heart was venomous, who would have thought that she was so cruel, treating people who she had known for so many years with so much cruelty.

Situ Jingyu only chuckled and nodded. She also wanted to see what this living person looked like after turning into a pile of mud.

After a while, over ten sturdy men walked over with difficulty while carrying a thick iron board tens of meters long and tens of feet wide.

'Bang 'a long sound was heard echoing for a long time. The thin iron nails stood upright on the metal plate. The thin iron nails were as long as silver needles. Stabbing them into the body would cause a pain as sharp as ten fingers, not to mention climbing over such a thin iron plate.

Even the torture methods of the devils in hell were not as cruel as this. These people were all injured and had no strength left to crawl over. This was not to take their lives, but a thorough physical torture.

When the servants saw that the pale-white face of the wooden board had lost all color, they cowered and retreated, not caring about the pain in their bodies as they struggled.

"Those who can still survive after climbing this board will not die." Situ Jingyu crooked her long and slender nails as she smiled slyly.

Yun Xiu ordered a servant at the side, "What are you all still standing around for, quickly make your move."

"No …" Princess Jing, have mercy, have mercy … "

"Kill me, Situ Jingyu, kill us..."

The maid, who was covered in blood, was forced to the front of the roof by the strong man.

The legs of the servant girls standing on both sides of the arena were trembling. They didn't dare to look straight as they closed their eyes.

Just when the servants' knees were only a few inches away from the ceiling, they were closing their eyes in despair.

"Stop —"

A clear and melodious sound echoed in the hall.

The crowd turned their heads towards the door. When they saw the woman coming towards them, they all let out a sigh of relief.

The silk dress she wore always had a simple and elegant beauty to it, and it didn't flaunt itself at all.

Situ Jingyu saw her walking towards him, step by step, and the smile in her eyes became even wider.

"Princess …" The maidservants called out softly as if they had seen their savior.

"Elder sister, why have you come? Could it be that you want to watch the show as well?" Oh … "Let me think, it seems like elder sister shouldn't have appeared here. It seems like the prince hasn't removed the restriction on you." Situ Jingyu laughed as she raised her sleeves.

Gao Jie's eyes that were as pure as water swept across the group of injured servants on the ground. Luo Shang frowned, a look of pain and grief flashed past his eyes.

"She had a slightly elegant face, written in a cold and aloof manner." What do you want in order to let them go? "

Situ Jingyu curled her lips and smiled in satisfaction. How could his sister dare to ask her elder sister? They had violated a great taboo, so naturally, they had to accept punishment. If they were to be forgiven so easily, wouldn't that mean that the rules of the clan were placed in their eyes? This kind of crime of favouring others for one's own good is not something that little sister can take on. "

Separated by a few steps, they looked at each other. Luo Shang was still as calm as ever, and she indifferently said: "Tell me, what should I do."

Situ Jingyu intentionally did not answer, and only chuckled.

"Yun Xiu, who was behind him, laughed complacently, her crafty tone carrying the complacency of someone who was capable of taking revenge. Since you want to plead for mercy on behalf of this group of lowly commoners, there is only one way. "

"The corner of her lips slowly sank, and her eyes were full of malice." You can take the punishment for them. "
