As she was talking, He Xi took out another invisible needle and put it in front of him to taunt him, acting as if she would poke his eyeballs anytime.

“It’s true! It’s really Second Missy! I’m not lying at all!” Zhang Dezhong was frightened until he shouted at the top of his lungs, and pee trickled down his pants. “Second Missy said you… you’re a slut and seduced the prince so she wanted me to get rid of you. As Old Master had once commanded that no one could kill you, Second Missy did not dare to do so and only told me to sell you to a dirty place.

“I… I can’t disobey Second Missy, but the Tao Tie Pavilion—the place I sold you to—is a good place. Now, you have a blessing in disguise. I beg of you, please… please spare me.”

He Xi knitted her brows and said lightly, “I have never seen the prince before. How can she say that I seduced him? Even a fool won’t believe it. Is Nalan Feixue’s IQ that low?”

From Nalan Hexi’s memory, she had never met the prince; and yet she was accused of seducing him. What a joke!

Zhang Dezhong did not know what ‘IQ’ meant, but he could feel the coldness of her speech; how dare he hide anything from her? He added, “I… I only know that Second Missy received a letter. The letter mentioned that after the prince returned to the palace, he would propose to Old Master about taking you as his concubine.”

“I have nothing to do with the prince; how can he remember me? Do you think I’ll believe it?” He Xi laughed. With a swipe of the invisible needle, there was a cut on Zhang Dezhong’s forehead; and blood spurted out of it. “If you dare lie to me again, I’ll cut your head open and take out your brains…”

“I wouldn’t dare! I wouldn’t dare!” Zhang Dezhong was frightened until he wailed. “I only know that the letter mentioned Third Missy’s characteristics. The man to own you will be able to upgrade his cultivation significantly—no matter what cultivation he was in—using a special way. It’s… it’s also because of this that I didn’t listen to Second Missy’s command to sell you to a butcher market.

“Instead, I sold you to Tao Tie Pavilion and after inspecting the goods, the owner of Tao Tie Pavilion gave me a big sum of money. I really don’t know the rest. I don’t know anything else! Third Missy, please spare me! I’m begging you!”

There was a strange flesh in He Xi’s eyes as she remembered the host at Tao Tie Pavilion mentioned something about pure Yin quality. However, it seemed like things were not this simple. Nalan Feixue and the prince were not idiots. Would they really believe that Nalan Hexi had special qualities just because of some rumors?

Who was the one who wrote a letter to Nalan Feixue? What was his motive in driving a wedge between Nalan Hexi and Nalan Feixue and agitating the latter to take action against her?

However, no matter who was the mastermind, since they had trampled all over He Xi; they could never back away harmlessly.

There was a cold smile on He Xi’s face, and her gaze landed on the sack of spars. “You said that the owner of Tao Tie Pavilion gave you a big sum of money after inspecting the goods?”

“Yes! Yes! Manager Wu Yu only glanced at you once and gave me six hundred thousand spars. Back then, I was too ecstatic and didn’t even claim the reward Second Missy promised me. These two days, I haven’t been back to the Nalan Residence. As for other things, it’s really not related to me anymore. Please have mercy on me.”

Tao Tie Pavilion actually used six hundred thousand spars to buy Nalan Hexi… but why was she treated like a lowly slave and locked in a cage when she woke up? She had even bumped her head and killed herself because of the humiliation she received from the low-class people.
