OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess

Just then.

Lei Hu came out from the back hall.

Run He followed behind him, sobbing and sniffling.

Clearly, she’d been badly frightened.

"Marquis, we got something out of her." Lei Hu walked up to Feng Fuce.

He briefly told everyone some of the hidden details Run He had just confessed.

Turns out she’d been entrusted by Lv Xinniang’s brother, and on the pretext that she wasn’t supporting the elderly, kept demanding money from Lv Xinniang.

Run He’s face was ugly and pale: "Lv Xiang would give me five taels of silver each time as thanks."

"Sometimes, when Lv Xinniang refused to see me, I’d call Lord Lv along, and every time Lv Xinniang saw Lord Lv she couldn’t bear it, so she’d still give some money."

Bai Yaoyu couldn’t stand it anymore and slammed the table: "So the Lu Family father and son teamed up with you, an outsider, to bully Lv Xinniang all this time?"

"Your whole family is like leeches, endlessly bleeding her for money, and you also take your cut."

"It’s nothing like that moral story you told—disgusting!"

Run He dropped to her knees with a thud, crying and wailing: "I was just trying to survive too."

"Besides, it was Lv Xiang who told me his sister was making good money in the brothel, that what we were asking for wasn’t much at all."

Fang Youzhen shouted angrily: "Absurd!"

Zhi’er listened, stunned.

The whole family was ganging up on one pitiful woman.

She’d been abandoned at birth, and once grown finally scraped together enough money to redeem herself, to drag herself out of the abyss, yet she still couldn’t shake off the cruelty of her original family.

Suddenly.

Zhi’er noticed that Lu Da hadn’t spoken a word.

Instead he kept turning his head, looking toward the doorway.

The worry and anxiety in his eyes did not escape Zhi’er.

She suddenly recalled.

"Right, when Brother Chu Ping went to make the arrest, Lu Da bolted the moment he saw the Xiu Luo Envoy. If he hadn’t done anything wrong, what was he running for?"

Just now, as soon as Lu Da came in he started shouting about being wronged, spouting a lot of irrelevant nonsense, neatly diverting the topic away.

When Zhi’er brought it up again, she saw panic flicker up in Lu Da’s eyes.

"I...I just saw so many officials and got scared. I gamble often, and I’m always getting into arguments with people, so I thought someone couldn’t stand me anymore and had asked the government to come deal with me."

Zhi’er folded her arms and gave a cold laugh: "You really weren’t trying to run off and warn someone?"

Lu Da shook his head desperately: "No, absolutely not!"

Just then, Chu Ping and the others who’d gone to make the arrest had already dragged a middle-aged man inside.

This man called Lv Xiang had clearly been beaten.

His face was bruised and swollen in patches.

Chu Ping explained: "He tried to run the moment he saw us, and even attempted to attack, so we taught him a lesson."

Feng Fuce nodded mildly: "Well done."

Lv Xiang was kicked by Chu Ping so that he fell beside Lu Da.

Zhi’er only glanced at Lv Xiang once before her hand shot out to grip Feng Fuce’s palm tightly.

Feng Fuce turned his eyes to look at her.

The girl’s eyes were wide and clear: "It’s him."

This Lv Xiang had an honest-looking face, yet his whole body was shrouded in a thick mist of blood.

Meaning that even if he hadn’t killed Lv Xinniang, there were definitely one or two lives on his hands, killed by him!

At the instant Lv Xiang heard those words from Zhi’er, he suddenly exploded into action!

At some point he’d hidden a dagger inside his clothes.

Now clutching it in his hand, he lunged at Zhi’er with a ferocious grimace, seeming to want to grab her as a hostage.

However, before he could even touch Zhi’er.

Feng Fuce had already driven a kick into the pit of his stomach.

Fang Youzhen and Bai Yaoyu shot out almost simultaneously.

Bai Yaoyu’s fist smashed straight into Lv Xiang’s nose.

Fang Youzhen took advantage of the motion to seize his joint; there was a crisp crack as she dislocated Lv Xiang’s right arm.
