Mo Lingxi also thought of this, and he lowered his voice, "Another point, if Zhou Wenxing is not rescued, let him cause trouble in the manor."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lengshuang's eyes flashed with a cold light, "I'm afraid what you said is the most likely. Zhou Wenxing is a complete lunatic. Such a person will do anything for his own purposes. Once he has the opportunity, he will definitely cause trouble in my house."
With the help of hidden hands, it would be much easier for Zhou Wenxing to cause trouble and harm someone.
Mo Lingxi pondered for a moment, "You go make arrangements, I'll handle things here."
Sheng Lengshuang also knew that arrangements needed to be made, so she left the dark prison.
She called the butler and ordered him to strengthen the guard, "Something might happen in the manor these few days, so pay close attention. Also, if any servant is disobedient or does anything they shouldn't, deal with them directly."
The butler agreed, "Young lady, please rest assured, I will make proper arrangements."
Sheng Lengshuang was not entirely at ease, "Arrange more trustworthy people in my parents' courtyard. Also, pay attention to everyone entering and leaving the manor these days. If you find anyone suspicious, detain them first."
Butler: "Yes."
Sheng Lengshuang gave a few more instructions and then let the butler go to work.
She thought about it and arranged for hidden guards to watch over General Sheng and his wife's courtyard. Xiao Feng was in the palace, so there was no need to worry too much, but she still needed to pay attention. She would send someone to the palace with a message later, so she could feel at ease.
After making all the arrangements, she returned to the dark prison.
"Zhou Wenxing is starting to break down," Mo Lingxi said.
Sheng Lengshuang looked at Zhou Wenxing, who was wishing for death.
Zhou Wenxing was in so much pain that he truly wanted to die, but he was also reluctant to die and wanted to live well. Since last night, that bitch Sheng Lengshuang had been continuously giving him medicine, not allowing him a moment of peace.
"I, I won't say anything."
Sheng Lengshuang smiled, "I know you are waiting for your master to send someone to rescue you, and I am also waiting for your master's people. It's been so long, and I haven't met your master yet. Perhaps this time I will get to meet your master."
Zhou Wenxing let out a weak laugh, "Sheng Lengshuang, even if you find out who my master is, what can you do? If my master wants to deal with you, it's just a matter of raising a finger."
Sheng Lengshuang asked with great curiosity, "If that's the case, I should have died long ago. Then why am I still alive and well? This is truly strange."
Zhou Wenxing forcefully vomited a mouthful of blood. He closed his eyes and stopped talking to Sheng Lengshuang, continuing to endure wave after wave of torture.
Sheng Lengshuang glanced at Mo Lingxi.
Mo Lingxi took out a sharp dagger and plunged it into Zhou Wenxing's right arm, then forcefully twisted it.
"Ah!!" Zhou Wenxing's face contorted in pain, "Prince Mingrui, don't you care about the safety of the Eastern Jin Dynasty? Helping the Sheng family will not end well for you."
Mo Lingxi remained silent, continuously twisting the dagger, or giving Zhou Wenxing another stab.
The dual torture of mind and body pushed Zhou Wenxing to the brink of collapse. He held on with all his might, refusing to speak.
"Cannot say, cannot say, absolutely cannot say," he muttered deliriously.
Just as Sheng Lengshuang was about to seize the opportunity to ask something, a hidden guard landed in front of her.
"Miss, something has happened in the manor!"
Sheng Lengshuang asked calmly, "What happened?"
Hidden Guard: "About a dozen servants suddenly attacked the madam's courtyard. Fortunately, you had made arrangements beforehand, and the butler arrived with people in time, otherwise, something serious would have happened."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Lengshuang knew what the hidden hand was planning. If they could capture her mother, they could not only rescue Zhou Wenxing but also scheme against their entire family, or even hand her mother over to Zhou Wenxing to achieve more calculations.
It had to be said that this move by the hidden hand was truly ruthless.
"What's going on with those servants? Is my mother alright?"
Hidden Guard: "The madam is unharmed and is being protected by the master and hidden guards. Those servants seem abnormal, their expressions are vacant, but their strength is terrifyingly great."
Sheng Lengshuang thought of puppets, but the question was, how did the hidden hand create so many puppets so silently?
She waved her hand, dismissing the hidden guard, and quietly spoke to Mo Lingxi about the matter.
Mo Lingxi pondered, "Perhaps they are not puppets, but these servants are controlled by some method. Once their objective is achieved, these servants will become scapegoats."
Sheng Lengshuang: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. Regardless of the possibility, the fact that the hidden hand could do so many things in my house silently indicates that this person has many spies in my house."
The house had been searched several times, yet the spies could not be rooted out. This was not a good sign.
Mo Lingxi understood her concern, "If you are still uneasy, you could sell all the servants and buy new ones."
Sheng Lengshuang slowly shook her head, "Who can guarantee that the purchased servants will not have problems?"
"This is indeed a problem. How about this, let me handle the matter of purchasing servants?"
"Are you trying to show off your affection?"
Mo Lingxi chuckled, "Yes, I certainly cannot miss such a good opportunity. If my father-in-law and mother-in-law's impression of me improves, it will be much easier for me to reconcile with you."
Sheng Lengshuang tutted, looking him up and down, "I say, Prince Mingrui, can you have a little shame? Look at your shameless appearance, it's really too cheap."
Mo Lingxi shrugged indifferently, "The most important thing is to please my wife. As the saying goes, having dignity means no wife. So I decided to abandon my dignity long ago."
Sheng Lengshuang couldn't argue with the shameless man, "My parents will not change their minds about you because you have a lot of trouble."
Mo Lingxi did not think so, "That's not necessarily true. Recently, my father-in-law and mother-in-law's attitude towards me has improved a lot. Perhaps soon, they will help me."
Just as Sheng Lengshuang was about to say that Mo Lingxi's thoughts were too naive, she heard Zhou Wenxing's heart-wrenching screams.
"Sheng Lengshuang, I will kill you! I will kill you!"
Sheng Lengshuang picked her ear, "Zhou Wenxing, I wonder if you could have some novelty? Do you have anything else to say besides this? I'm tired of hearing it."
Zhou Wenxing was in so much pain that he couldn't hear what others were saying. He kept roaring, trying to alleviate his pain, but it was in vain.
"Kill me! Please kill me!"
Sheng Lengshuang smiled sweetly, "You are too valuable, how could I possibly kill you."
"How about this, you tell me everything, and I'll give you a quick death, and even leave your body intact."
Zhou Wenxing continued to roar.
"He probably can't hear what you're saying," Mo Lingxi said to Sheng Lengshuang, "When the pain reaches a certain level, one cannot hear anything from the outside world and can only immerse themselves in their own suffering."
Sheng Lengshuang casually said "oh" and signaled the hidden guards to wake Zhou Wenxing.
The hidden guard brought a bucket of salt water and poured it directly onto Zhou Wenxing.
"Ah!!" Zhou Wenxing fainted from the pain, then woke up from the pain, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
