In just several days, great changes took place in the life of Hong Fang and his wife .

Hong Fang desired to ascend the throne and his wife longed to become the empress . Unfortunately, their hopes were dashed in the very end .

The days in prison were terrible .

This time, the Hong Manor committed the serious crime of plotting to overthrow the government . No harsh interrogation was already a blessing for them .

When Ye Huangyu was put behind bars, Zhuge Rou secretly ordered others to cause Ye much trouble . Nie Fengxing was so narrow-minded and concerned about what had been done to his bride-to-be that he would not give up the once-in-lifetime chance to take revenge .

In the past several days, the three of the Hong Manor had been eating spoiled food and drinking dirty water with insect eggs on the surface . Every morning, noon and evening, they were showered with excrement by the prison guards .

The room where they stayed smelled awful, rats and c.o.c.kroaches jumping around rampantly . The days were unbearable for them .

Hong Fang and his wife could still get used to all these while Hong Yulang was having a hard time . He had a carefree life before but now was living in fear every day . He was no longer handsome or energetic . Instead, he looked weathered, showing a tendency to faint at any time .

Ye Lingyue was walking into the prison when she heard Hong Yulang choking with sobs .

“Father, the emperor has already ordered the beheading of us in 3 days . I am still young and don’t want to die . ”

“You said that you had asked Ye Huangyu to try to save the life of Yulang, had not you?” Zhuge Rou’s expression was quite sorrowful .

There was a deep frown on Hong Fang’s face .

He had tried his luck and bet on the help of his daughter Hong Mingyue . Now, a number of days had pa.s.sed and the imperial edict had been issued but Hong Mingyue never appeared .

Then Hong Fang had no choice but to ask others to look for Ye Huangyu .

“It is all your wishful thinking . My mother has been busy preparing for the marriage ceremony and has no time to meet you in this terrible place . ”

Before the room door was another pair of shoes .

Hong Fang saw Ye Lingyue and his eyes turned red .

It was all because of Ye Lingyue that the Hong Manor was reduced to this poor state .

Hong Fang both hated and feared Ye Lingyue . The girl who had not exceeded the Dan Realm yet was so sinister and ruthless that even Hong Fang could not match her .

“It is you . Why have you come?”

Hong Fang clearly knew about Ye Lingyue’s temper . If Ye Huangyu came, he might have a chance to save Hong Yulang .

But it was Ye Lingyue that had come . The girl was so vicious and vengeful that she would by no means help them .

“Marquis Yue, please show some mercy to my boy and me . It was me that had maltreated you and your mother and this has nothing to do with Yulang . ” Zhuge Rou was begging bitterly by the side .

“Ye Lingyue, please save us . You and I have the same blood . You are my sister . ” Hong Yulang struggled to crawl where Ye Lingyue was .

Ye Lingyue picked her ears impatiently .

“Don’t misuse the word of sister . In the past 14 years, all the Hong Manor has brought to my mother and me was suffering and shame . Today I have come just to tell you to give up every idea of seeking help . Most importantly, you shall not make trouble for my mother . If you do the opposite and let me know about it, then I can ensure that you will be all dead in prison in fewer than 3 days . ” Ye Lingyue waved her sleeves, turned around and left .

“You little b.i.t.c.h! You will die in your boots! Together with your b.i.t.c.hy mother!”

Zhuge Rou found that begging would not help and then jumped forward like mad, trying to grab Ye Lingyue’s sleeves .

The prison guard was well-prepared and promptly had they splashed onto Zhuge Rou smelly excrement .

Zhuge Rou choked and coughed badly .

“You don’t know about your status and are so reckless as to curse Marquis Yue . ”

The old prison guard was swearing by the side and gazing l.u.s.tfully at Zhuge Rou .

Zhuge Rou had been splashed with urine and s.h.i.+t . Hence her loose clothes clung to her body and set off the good figure .

She had already given birth to 3 children but was still in good shape .

These days she pined away due to the torture in prison . Now she lost much of the arrogance and became delicately beautiful .

“Wow! The third hostess in the Hong Manor has such a pretty face and a good figure, just like a fairy . ”

The old prison guard had not seen women for years and on his face was pure l.u.s.t .

Zhuge Rou vomited so badly that her internal organs nearly came out . She sensed something strange and looked at the old prison guard, feeling terrible once again .

“Beauty, could you spend the night with me? I can ensure that you will eat something better and live in a cleaner room . ”

The old prison guard was so shameless that he moved forward and touched Zhuge Rou .

“What are you doing? I am . . . ”

She stopped abruptly when realizing that she was no longer the elegant hostess in the Hong Manor .

Zhuge Rou screamed and rushed backwards .

Hong Yulang was stupefied still and Hong Fang looked gloomy .

“Do you really desire to sleep with her?”

The old prison guard heard these words and his face was full of joy . He directly expressed what he wanted .

“Of course! In my wildest dreams! As long as the beauty sleeps with me once, I can promise you anything . ”

Zhuge Rou nearly fainted, feeling that her whole world was destroyed .

She looked at Hong Fang with disbelief, as if she had never known this man . Hong Yulang cried uncontrollably .

“Father, how could you ask mother to do this?”

“Shut up! We have been reduced to such a state now . I have no choice but to save us three . Moreover, it is not the first time for your mother to sleep with others . ” Hong Fang’s face was hideously deformed . He looked at Zhuge Rou with detestation .

Every time he closed his eyes, he would recall what happened between Zhuge Rou and the old eunuch .

Zhuge Rou heard these words and tears fell from her pale face .

“Rouer, please sacrifice yourself this time, for us . We all rely on you to survive . You sleep with him once and I will let him exchange us for others . ” Hong Fang tried to persuade Zhuge Rou . “It is all dependent on you . You can rest a.s.sured that all will be well after we flee to the Three Lives Valley . ”

Zhuge Rou could by no means believe Hong Fang’s sugar-coating words now .

She suddenly realized why Ye Lingyue hated the Hong Manor so much .

She had believed that she was luckier than Ye Huangyu since she won the body and mind of Hong Fang . In fact, however, she was the most pathetic one .

Hong Fang could not even be regarded as a man .

Zhuge Rou looked at Hong Yulang . The 14-year-old boy was crying aloud, his eyes totally red . She then gave a sarcastic laugh .

“Ok . I will do it . ”

The door was open and Zhuge Rou was dragged out . All the night, her cries and groans were resounding through the prison .
