He didnât want Su Yingxue to end up like Long Shuli, caught up in life-and-death whirlpools.
Su Yingxue understood some of Su Qingzhiâs concerns, but her experience with Chu Yihan couldnât be explained in a few words.
Since she couldnât explain it now, she might as well calm Su Qingzhi down first.
She helped Su Qingzhi back to his room to rest. âGrandpa, donât worry. 1 understand what you mean.â
âYouâve become much more sensible now. Grandpa is very reassured about you.â Su Qingzhi patted her head, his face full of affection.
In the princeâs mansion of Yongâan County, Chu Xiaotian returned to the manor in a daze. When he walked into the hall, he could still hear Madam Shengâs cursing.
The Old Regional Prince had already gotten calluses on his ears from the noise. When he saw Chu Xiaotian return, he hurriedly went forward to show concern for him. âSon, why did you come back so late today? You were at the Marquisâs Manorâ¦â
The Old Regional Prince wanted to know if Su Han had a dispute with Chu Xiaotian in the Marquisâs Mansion after she was kidnapped. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, he saw Liang Jin standing behind Chu Xiaotian.
The Old Regional Prince raised his eyebrows. âLord Liang, why are you here?â
After Liang Jin greeted the Old Regional Prince, he went straight to business. âOld Regional Prince, this is the complaint that Miss Su Han has submitted to the Capital Prefecture. She wants to break off all ties with the Prince of Yongâan County. I have been ordered to investigate. Please cooperate with me.â
âBreak off all ties? Thisâ¦â
The Old Regional Prince was shocked.
âWhat? Break off all ties? That little wretch has grown up. Did she dare to break off all ties with my son? Does she want to die?â
Madam Sheng cursed. She didnât look like a noblewoman at all.
The Old Regional Prince quickly stopped Madam Sheng in front of outsiders. âEnough. Havenât you embarrassed yourself enough? Lord Liang is the governor of the Capital Prefecture, and even he has come to our residence! Youâre still fooling around!â
âHow am I fooling around!â Madam Shengâs face was sharp and mean.
She couldnât stand the Old Regional Prince scolding her. She had never been favored since she was young, and the Old Regional Prince didnât treat her well. She tortured Su Han because she was favored by the Old Regional Prince, who praised her a lot.
Her son also protected her and treated her like a treasure.
Su Han got all the love that she couldnât get in her life. How could she not be jealous?
She didnât vent all her anger on Su Han.
âMotherâ¦â
Chu Xiaotianâs voice was low and depressed. âWhat did you do to Su Han when I was not around?â
âI⦠What can I do to her? That little wretch, did she complain to you again?â Madam Sheng rolled up her sleeves guiltily, but she was still trying to force herself.
âOld Regional Prince, Madam Sheng, can you assist me in handling this case? 1 want to gather the servants in the residence to make some inquiries.â Liang Jin asked.
He knew that this was the best time to interrogate the Regional Princeâs Mansion.
The Old Regional Prince had no choice but to gather all the servants and let them accept Liang Jinâs questioning.
Liang Jinâs ability to judge people was unparalleled in the entire Jiang Du City.
He went to Min Jiaâs courtyard and collected the stolen goods that had not been cleaned up in the pool. After sealing them, he immediately wanted to interrogate Madam Sheng and Min Jia.
However, Chu Xiaotian came to tell him, âLord Liang, itâs already late today. My mother and sister are both unwell. Could you please make an exception and interrogate them in two days?â
âNo, Your Highness has already witnessed my handling of the case at the Marquisâs Manor. In the matter of Miss Hanâs assassination, we must act swiftly to apprehend the true culprit,â Liang Jin refused firmly..
