The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1424: The Crisis of the Leng Family

Yun Sijin looked at him with a pained expression, “This time, it’s the harshest suffering you’ve had since you returned to the Leng household.”

Zhuo Junli curled his lips into a cold sneer, “What’s this? As long as I’m not dead, the one with a crooked nose will definitely be Lu Mian.”

Lu Mian in the imperial prison tried every method to torture him without leaving scars on his body. He abused his diet, tossed him among the noisiest of felons, provided him with sour and stinking meals daily, and even placed Leng Shuqing in the cell next to him so he had to listen to her sorrowful or plaintive cries every day, trying to demean him in such conditions.

“Lord Lu comes from a noble family, with high office and rich rewards, having never suffered. Naturally, he doesn’t know how a maidservant’s son could top the imperial examination and reach where I am now. He must be really confused as to why I could still return to the Prime Minister’s Estate.”

Zhuo Junli, emaciated, propped himself up from the bed frame and walked into the bathroom. Seeing the bathwater Yun Sijin had prepared for him, he curved his lips slightly and immersed his dirty, stinking body into a good, clean soak.

While he was bathing, Yun Sijin told him about the recent events in the Prime Minister’s Estate, “Father has aged a lot, my brother has been demoted and sent away, my sister-in-law fainted from grief, and what’s most important is Ling’er, she has been let down…”

Zhuo Junli, upon hearing of other matters, had no significant reaction, but his expression became serious when she mentioned Leng Muling. Wiping his face, he asked, “That silly girl hasn’t made a fuss in front of the emperor, has she?”
