Well!

After Princess Heng finished shouting, the guards in the courtyard remained motionless.

"What's going on? Are they all deaf and mute? I order you to take them down immediately!"

When Princess Heng saw that the guards did not listen to her, she immediately glared angrily at the guard leader.

"Young Master, the entire Prince Heng's residence has been taken into custody."

The leading guard tore off his mask, revealing a handsome face; he was none other than Feng Qin, one of Shen Jinchen's guards.

"Who are you? How did you become the head of the guards in my manor?"

Princess Heng's eyes were filled with even more shock than when Prince Heng had died.

"I wonder how long Princess Heng intends to play dumb. I have no patience for your idle chatter. Take her down!"

Shen Jinchen's eyes sharpened as he looked at Feng Qin.

"Yes, young master!"

After Feng Qin responded, she ordered two people to capture Princess Heng and take her outside.

"How dare you, you treacherous minister! You dare to arrest me without even being convicted! I will definitely have my father report you, Prime Minister Shen, to the Heavenly Court!"

Princess Heng struggled to break free of her restraints and ran to Shen Jinchen, intending to throw a tantrum.

With a flick of his sleeve, Shen Jinchen knocked her to the ground.

“Ignorant woman, Fengqin, lock her in the dungeon. We’ll settle accounts with Lord Lu when we get back to the capital.”

Shen Jinchen glanced coldly at Princess Heng and slowly walked out of the courtyard.

After their master left, Fengqin and Shangse exchanged a glance, both looking at the woman sitting on the ground still roaring with utter contempt.

If she hadn't reminded him that he had a father, perhaps their young master wouldn't have remembered Lord Lu. But her reminder ruined everything.

Not only will she be accused of treason, but her father will also be implicated. Alas, it seems that Lord Lu has truly raised a fine daughter; she is capable of both domestic infighting and causing the destruction of a family.

"Hey, young master left. Why didn't you follow? Aren't you his most precious darling? What's wrong with you? Such dark circles under your eyes. Did you sleep with a woman last night and have your essence drained?"

When Fengqin saw that Shangse was still not leaving after her two subordinates took the crazy old woman, Princess Heng, away, she teased her.

He could tell that his brother must have suffered a lot last night, and it wouldn't be her style not to tease him a little.

"Young master is still waiting for the report from the army, you... you should hurry up and serve him."

Shang Se dared not speak of his suffering last night. If it weren't for the young master's threat this morning, he might have wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.

“Serving the young master, isn’t that always your job? What’s wrong? What happened last night? Look at you, all frail. Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice.”

Seeing his miserable look, Fengqin continued to provoke him.

"It's all because you're all as slippery as eels, otherwise the young master wouldn't be holding me like this. Young Master Feng Qin, you're making sarcastic remarks to me. Believe me or not, I'll tell her right now that you stole the Floating Life Brew that the Sixth Princess sent to the young master."

Just thinking about his situation last night made Shang Se want to strangle the guy in front of him right then and there. Usually, they were all quicker than rabbits, and when they went out to do business, they were all masters of flattery.

He was the only one who was straightforward, saying whatever came to mind, which meant he was always the one left behind. He was also the one who suffered and endured the hardship.

For example, last night, those women at Yuehua Tower took turns touching his thighs. His hands were shamelessly placed on him by those women, and the feeling was so intense that he couldn't eat for a month.

"The Sixth Princess sent Floating Life Brew? Oh! I remember now, young master probably doesn't even know what he sent. You probably don't even know whether the Sixth Princess is round or flat in your eyes, so why would you care about Floating Life Brew?"

Feng Qin laughed with an air of confidence.

“Then I can accuse you of accepting bribes, bribes from the Sixth Princess.”

Shang Se glared at him, his eyes blazing with fury.

"You look so cute when you're trying to tattle. Just be careful not to get caught by the demonesses of the Su Nu Sect, or they might capture you and make you practice your skills."

The angrier Fengqin got, the more he wanted to laugh, and she couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

"Feng Qin, you're itching for a beating, aren't you? You have half an hour to bring me the military report from Yushan. If you take more than a cup of tea, you can repeat the punishment you received yesterday."

Shen Jinchen returned for some unknown reason, radiating a low-pressure aura.

"Yes, young master, I will take care of it immediately."

Upon seeing the young master arrive, Feng Qin immediately dropped her playful demeanor and used her light-footed skill to disappear from the Heng Prince's residence.

"Shangse, do you still want to experience the erotic scenes from last night?"

Seeing that Fengqin had gone far away, Shen Jinchen then turned his attention to Shangse and made things difficult for him.

"No... I didn't mean it, young master, I was wrong."

Shang Se slumped his head, looking utterly dejected.

"So you still remember? How's the task I assigned you going? Why are you arguing with me?"

Shen Jinchen looked at his subordinate, who was in an even worse state than he had been the night before, and finally felt much better.

"Yes, I will go and fetch the doctor from this mansion to examine the young lady."

Shang Se nodded and walked quickly outside.

"After you bring the doctor here, go and find out where that ugly woman from last night is. You must have results within three days, or you'll have to go through last night's punishment again."

Shen Jinchen called out to him, paused, and then spoke.

"Yes, sir. I will dig three feet into the ground and bring that ugly woman before you so that she can receive the punishment she deserves."

Shang Se felt a surge of anger whenever he thought of that woman. If it weren't for her, would he have suffered so much last night? The young master is a devil too. Next time, he must be smarter and run faster than those others.

After Feng Qin and Shang Se left, Shen Jinchen glanced at Chun Nuan, who was soaked to the bone, and shook his bone fan, saying:

"The smell of blood is too strong here, Miss Chunnuan, why don't we talk outside?"

"Prime Minister, why be so polite? The entire Prince's Mansion is now under your control. Why ask for my opinion? Ask whatever you have to ask. There's no need to move. I can't move it. If you find the smell of blood too strong, you can cover your mouth and nose."
