I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 119 Interrogation

"Sister, why aren't you sleeping?" Xiao Bei woke up from his sleep, opened his eyes and saw his sister sitting by the bed, looking out the door vigilantly.

Xiaonan touched her sister's head, forced a smile and comforted her: "Sister is not sleepy, you go to sleep."

Xiaobei was full of doubts. How could his sister not be sleepy? During the day, his sister was always distracted while working, and she even fell asleep during meals.

Xiaonan looked at Xiaobei, with unknown emotions flashing in his eyes: "Xiaobei, let's go! Leave here."

"Sister, why are we leaving here? Where are we going? I don't want to be separated from Xiaoyu and the others." Xiaobei pouted, looking reluctant and confused.

Xiaonan looked at the other girls on the bunk bed who were about the same age as her sister, and pain and struggle flashed in their eyes.

Yes, where can they go? They are all orphans, without a home... If they leave here, they can't even have food to eat.

But if I don't leave here, I might lose my life...

Yunyue followed the servant all the way to the orphanage, and her face became more and more ugly.

"Dong dong dong."

"Who is it? Cough cough cough." Manager Wei sounded with a cough.

"It's me, Jixiang." Jixiang gave his name, and soon the door of the orphanage opened.

"This... is he here to pick people again?" Manager Wei was a little surprised as he held the lantern.

"Yes, there is a shortage of people in the mansion. Let me pick two more maids." Jixiang walked in.

Manager Wei stood there, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

"Two this time?"

"Yes, this time each person will be paid one hundred taels. Don't worry, once they enter the mansion, they will have a good life working there! They will enjoy a good life!"

"Yes, it is their blessing to be able to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion." Steward Wei seemed to be convincing himself.

As they talked, they walked to the bedroom door.

Xiaonan had already nervously picked up her sister when someone knocked on the door.

At this moment, Jixiang pushed the door open and she seemed to see a devil choosing his prey.

Jixiang's gaze hovered over the sleeping children's faces and finally stopped on Xiaobei's face.

"This one is nice, it looks festive and pleasing to the eye, the master will definitely like it."

"Xiao Nan and Xiao Bei, why aren't you sleeping yet? This is the steward of the eldest master's mansion, and he's here to pick a maid! Now he's attracted to Xiao Bei. As long as she enters the mansion, she can wear beautiful clothes, eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. That means you've finally gotten what you deserve after suffering a lot, and it's your blessing!"

"Really?" Xiaobei's eyes were full of longing. She wanted to save a lot of money to buy beautiful clothes for her sister. Then buy a big house and live with her sister.

"No!! My sister won't go!" Xiaonan hugged Xiaobei tightly and looked at Jixiang and Manager Wei angrily.

The sleeping orphans were awakened, rubbed their waists and sat up, confused as to what had happened.

Jixiang frowned and looked at Manager Wei. Manager Wei was a little helpless and continued to persuade: "Xiaonan, you can't stop Xiaobei from having a better life."

"A good life? Don't lie to me! Otherwise, why didn't the other girls who went to the mansion to work as maids come to see us?"

The servant sneered: "There are many rules in the mansion. Do you think you can come and go as you please after you enter the mansion?"

"Yeah, who said they haven't seen it? I saw it a few days ago." Manager Wei echoed.

Xiaonan said bitterly: "Don't lie to me, they are all dead! I know they are all dead!"

"What nonsense! Where did you hear that? We live in a good mansion, not a devil's den!" Jixiang's eyes flashed with panic and he shouted harshly.

"You! I heard what you said to your accomplices when you came last time! You are not choosing maids at all! You are here to choose toys for your young master! Those who were deceived by you are dead!!" Xiaonan pointed at Jixiang and shouted angrily.

The other children in the room were a little flustered when they heard Xiaonan's words.

Jixiang glared at Manager Wei, then looked at Xiaonan, Xiaobei and the awake children and said fiercely, "They can't stay."

"This..." Manager Wei looked at the dozen or so children in the room and hesitated.

Jixiang didn't care whether Manager Wei agreed or not, he went forward to capture Xiaonan first.

Xiaonan shouted anxiously: "Everyone run! They are going to kill us!"

The children were frightened and started crying. They tried to get out of bed and run away in panic, but the door was closed by Manager Wei.

Jixiang took out a dagger from his waist, his eyes full of bloodthirstiness.

Xiaonan looked at the dagger swinging towards him in despair and closed his eyes in despair.

"Bang!" The tightly closed door was kicked open, and Manager Wei behind the door was kicked into the corner.

Jixiang looked back and saw Si Yin's new knife with a cold glow coming towards him.

At this moment, Si Yin's eyes were full of murderous intent. They had heard it clearly outside the house. These bastards actually wanted to attack the children! It just so happened that the master gave her a new knife, so she could use it to sacrifice her own new knife!

Although Jixiang knew some boxing and kicking skills, he was no match for Si Yin, who was a former secret guard. His dagger flew away in a few moves, and his body was pierced with several holes.

Si Yin deliberately avoided important places, as his master still wanted to interrogate him. He couldn't kill him.

At this time, the children in the room were all crying loudly in fear. Yun Yue wanted to go forward to comfort them, but the children were so scared that they all huddled together.

It was Lingyao who walked over. The children remembered the sister who had given them candy before.

"Lingyao, take them to the next door first."

"Yes." Lingyao coaxed the children to follow her to the next room. The children were frightened by Jixiang's bleeding appearance and followed Lingyao obediently.

Xiaonan held Xiaobei and looked at Yunyue, then looked at Manager Wei on the ground, and left with a complicated expression.

"Do you know who I am?" Jixiang stared at Yunyue and Siyin sternly.

"I know, from the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"You know why you won't let me go?"

"Ha. I'm going to kill you!"

Seeing that Yunyue was really not afraid of Prime Minister Liu, Jixiang began to get scared.

Threatening and begging for mercy.

Si Yin spat, thinking he was so brave.

Yunyue stepped on Jixiang's hand and asked, "How many girls did you buy from the orphanage?"

Jixiang grimaced as he was stepped on, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain: "I... I was just following orders! It started last year, and there are two or three per month on average."

Yun Yue clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

These beasts!

"Are all the children bought here sent to Young Master Liu?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Only the eldest master likes these little girls..."

"Are any of those children alive?"

"No...no...all of them are dead...Every time a child I sent here died, the young master asked me to come here to buy another one."

"What about the dead children?"

"They were all thrown into a mass grave..."

Yunyue closed her eyes and calmed the anger in her heart.

Then he turned to look at Manager Wei who was sitting in the corner.
