Chapter 274: Forcing Madam Chang to Confess

But as soon as Nanny Chang said this, Concubine Xiao trembled all over as if struck by lightning, and then collapsed to the ground, as if all the strength in her body had been drained.

Nanny Chang finally gave her up! Among the many servants who served beside her, the one who knew her affairs the most, apart from the few personal guards under her command, was undoubtedly Nanny Chang.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Nanny Chang not only knew about every evil deed done by Concubine Xiao, but also personally participated in most of them.

Since Nanny Chang knew so many secrets about herself, Concubine Xiao naturally wanted to get rid of her to prevent future troubles.

However, for some reason, facing this old woman who had been by her side since childhood and was like a family member, she could never bear to kill her.

Although Concubine Xiao was the legitimate daughter of the Lu family, her biological mother died early and her biological father was busy indulging in sensual pleasures with other women all day long and neglected to discipline his two children.

Her brother was not yet an adult at the time and was not able to protect her and her brother from being bullied by her stepmother and her gang. Because of this, Concubine Xiao and her brother lived a very miserable life when they were young...

During her long and lonely childhood, only Nanny Chang gave her endless love and warmth.

It can also be said that without Nanny Chang, there would be no her today!

Because she grew up healthily drinking Nanny Chang's milk!

This special grace of raising her made her feel deeply grateful and attached to Nanny Chang. This feeling had already transcended blood ties - it was much deeper than that for her own biological mother!

Whenever she was bullied by others, Nanny Chang would always stand up for her and fight back against those evil forces without hesitation.

When she felt hungry or unwell, it was also Nanny Chang who took care of her meticulously and soothed her wounded heart with delicate care... All of this became the most precious memories deep in her heart.

How could Concubine Xiao have the heart to kill such a caring and thoughtful person who loved her so much?

Even though Nanny Chang had betrayed her at this moment, she really couldn't bear to hurt the person who had once cared so much for her!

As soon as Nanny Chang finished speaking, she stopped talking and kept her head down. She didn't even have the courage to look up at Concubine Xiao and Prime Minister Lu. After all, she knew that she had committed a serious sin and felt deeply guilty towards them.

However, how could Jiang Yimo let Madam Chang off so easily? Madam Chang must not be allowed to remain silent!

Next, she would make Nanny Chang confess all the evil deeds committed by Concubine Xiao without reservation.

"Madame Chang, if you don't tell me the truth today, don't blame me for being rude!"

Jiang Yimo stared sharply at the panicked old woman in front of her, her voice as cold as ice.

This Nanny Chang is Concubine Xiao's confidant. If useful information can be forced out of her, it will be of great help in exposing Concubine Xiao's conspiracy.

"Xiao... Concubine Xiao...she just asked us to do things according to her instructions..."

Nanny Chang stuttered, her eyes flashing with fear, anxiety, and guilt. In short, her mood at the moment was very complicated.

Jiang Yimo snorted coldly: "Humph! You still want to quibble at this moment? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin! Tell the truth quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As they were talking, Jiang Yimo suddenly noticed a hint of cunning in Nanny Chang's eyes, and she immediately understood in her heart - this person must have a trick up her sleeve!

So she made a prompt decision, immediately winked at Eunuch Li standing beside her, and whispered, "Quick! Get a few people to hold down Madam Chang, and don't let her commit suicide!"

Eunuch Li nodded in understanding, and quickly waved his hand to signal several young eunuchs behind him to come forward, hold Nanny Chang tightly, and pry open her mouth to check if there was any poison hidden in her teeth. Fortunately, there was none.

At this moment, Nanny Chang had just relieved some of the pain in her mouth, but Eunuch Li and others pinched her mouth hard again.

"Madame Chang, it seems like you have a special liking for things like sewing up mouths!" Jiang Yimo stared at Madame Chang with cold eyes and said in a cold tone.

Before she finished her words, she ordered Eunuch Li to fetch needle and thread again, so that she could continue to sew up Nanny Chang's mouth.

Nanny Chang was frightened by this sudden action and turned pale as paper. Eunuch Li had sewn her mouth once before, and at this moment her lips were swollen and even bleeding.

The pain she felt would be something she would never forget.

At the thought of going through such torture again, Nanny Chang's body couldn't help but tremble, and her eyes were full of fear and despair.

"No, please don't sew my mouth anymore. Please spare me! I promise I will tell you everything I know this time!"

Nanny Chang looked at the mysterious man holding needle and thread in front of her with horror, her body shaking constantly.

"Okay, then just tell me now! My patience is limited. If you dare to tell a lie or hide the truth again, the consequences will be even worse than they are now!"

Jiang Yimo said coldly, pointing at the needle and thread in Eunuch Li's hand that was flashing with cold light.

"Yes, it's like this... That little palace maid named Caiwei, we actually wanted to bribe her at the beginning and make her the spy of Concubine Xiao in the Liuli Palace."

"But this little girl is very stubborn. No matter how we coerce or bribe her, she refuses to give in. She even threatens us with death. So, I have no choice but to..."

At this point, Nanny Chang's voice became low, and she seemed to be having trouble speaking.

In the following time, Nanny Chang narrated what had happened in detail, pausing from time to time as if she was recalling certain details.

The whole process lasted for nearly an hour before the mysterious man finally figured out the truth behind the six female corpses.

It turns out that these innocent women were killed because they refused to be involved in the palace struggle. And Chang Ma and Xiao Fei, in order to achieve their own ulterior motives, did not hesitate to use such cruel means.

The methods they used to torture people were endless and varied, which frightened everyone present.

At this moment, the old emperor's face was full of anger. He slapped the handle of the chair he was sitting on hard. Everyone only heard a "bang" sound. Although the sound was not loud, it was enough to scare the people present.

"Xiao Concubine, Xiao Concubine, even now, you still don't repent! The evidence is irrefutable, how can you still defend yourself?"

The old emperor was so angry that his voice was shaking, his eyes were wide open, staring at the woman who had once been his favorite.
