Zheng Yinrong got up groggily and followed the maid outside. When she saw Bai Tuantuan and Nan Nian, she asked with a puzzled look, "Aunt Nan Nian, Tuantuan, why aren't you sleeping at night? What are you doing?"

Zheng Yinrong yawned, sat down on the stone bench, drank another cup of tea, and then came to her senses: "Did you need something?"

Bai Tuantuan looked at Zheng Yinrong with a complicated expression and slowly said, "Yinrong, you, you shouldn't be too sad."

Before Zheng Yinrong could speak, Bai Tuantuan recounted the deaths of Master Zheng and Madam Zheng.

Zheng Yinrong stared wide-eyed at Bai Tuantuan, speechless for a long time.

Bai Tuantuan clenched her fists nervously, not daring to miss any expression on Zheng Yinrong's face.

"Tuantuan, you must be joking, right? This... I just had dinner with my parents, how could I... I could be... dead? That's impossible, you must be mistaken!"

Zheng Yinrong was laughing for a while, then she started crying.

She knew that Bai Tuantuan would never lie to her about something like this...

"They're from the Prince Ping's residence, aren't they?"

After crying for an unknown amount of time, Zheng Yinrong finally calmed herself down, looked up at Bai Tuantuan, and her eyes flashed with intense hatred.

Although she was asking, she already had the answer in her heart.

Bai Tuantuan looked at Nan Nian, and the two exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.

“Yinrong, your family is still alive. Don’t worry, I will find a way to rescue them.”

Zheng Yinrong covered her face and burst into tears: "It's all my fault. If I had married into the Prince Ping's mansion, none of this would have happened. My parents wouldn't have died because of me. Tuantuan, it's all my fault..."

"Don't blame yourself for other people's mistakes." Nan Nian looked at Zheng Yinrong, then at Bai Tuantuan. She finally understood how these two could be friends. When something happened, they only blamed themselves for the mistakes. She didn't know where they learned that!

“The Prince Ping’s mansion is not a good place. It is a normal choice for you not to marry him. As for the deaths of your parents, they were killed indiscriminately and must pay the price!”

Zheng Yinrong raised her tear-streaked face and nodded vigorously.

Just then, Rong Manli's voice rang out from outside: "I've gathered everyone. Head to Prince Ping's residence!"

The three quickly turned around and saw Chen Xiaoran, Chen Yijun, Chen Wenxiu, Ning Nanxiao, and Rong Manli.

"I have already notified Ze Yi and the others, and they have entered the palace overnight," Chen Wenxiu said slowly. "This time, they will definitely pay the price!"

Bai Tuantuan looked at Ning Nanxiao, and seeing him nod, she stood up: "Then let's go together."

The commotion eventually woke up the rest of the Chen family.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Luo and Feng Yue exchanged a glance and slowly said, "We won't stop you, but no matter what happens, protect your own lives."

Everyone nodded.

Huang Lian and Guan Xin also jogged out.

"We'll be waiting for your return at the Chen residence!"

"Yinrong, you must take good care of yourself."

“Yes, once you’ve rescued the Zheng family, go to the estate I bought. It’s close to the Chen residence. I’ll go pack it now and wait for you to come back!” Guan Xin said, turning to leave.

“Xin’er, I’ll go with you.” Huang Lian quickly followed.

Looking at her two friends, tears streamed down Zheng Yinrong's face as she choked out, "Okay, wait for me to come back. I'll definitely bring my grandmother, brothers, and sisters back..."

"Let's go," Ning Nanxiao said, and the group walked out.

However, as soon as she opened the door and looked outside, Zheng Yinrong was utterly shocked!

Hundreds of people stood outside, holding torches.

Rong Manli stepped forward: "Fengyue Pavilion, heed my command! Proceed to Prince Ping's residence!"

"yes!"

A deafening sound rang out, and Rong Manli turned to look at Zheng Yinrong: "Don't worry, we will definitely rescue them!"

Zheng Yinrong took a step back, her face solemn, and bowed to everyone: "Zheng Yinrong is here, thank you all!"

Bai Tuantuan quickly helped Zheng Yinrong up and patted her arm: "Let's go."

A large and impressive group of people; this time, they didn't try to keep a low profile!

"Kaleidoscopes, listen to my command!" Chen Wenxiu's voice was deep and powerful. "Clear the way!"

As Chen Wenxiu's voice faded, fireworks burst across the sky!

The loud noise woke up everyone who was fast asleep in the capital.

Immediately afterwards, the people in the kaleidoscope stood on the roof and used their inner strength to recount the crimes of the people in the Prince Ping's mansion!

Zheng Yinrong bit her lip tightly with her pearly teeth, and held Bai Tuantuan's hand tightly with her own.

"Don't be afraid."

Bai Tuantuan gave Zheng Yinrong a reassuring smile and said slowly, "My uncles and aunts have all made arrangements."

Zheng Yinrong wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with determination.

In the study of the Prince Ping's residence, Mu Xiangyang looked at the Prince Ping and said calmly, "Grandfather, things have come to this point, are you still going to protect Mu Chenglan and Mu Chengjin?"

Prince Ping looked coldly at Mu Xiangyang: "They are your eldest and second elder brothers!"

"So what? Grandfather is willing to sacrifice the reputation of the Prince Ping's Mansion to protect these two scoundrels? Why does Fifth Brother refuse to return from the border? Doesn't Grandfather understand? Grandfather wants to force us all out and make way for them?"

"If they were capable, that would be fine, but what are they capable of?"

"Back then, when those two caused a death, it was my fifth brother who saved them. This time, is Grandfather trying to sacrifice me?"

Mu Xiangyang looked up and met the eyes of Prince Ping, saying each word clearly, "If Grandfather has already made his decision, then Xiangyang has nothing to say."

After saying that, Mu Xiangyang turned around and opened the door.

Outside stood the three sons of the Prince of Ping.

The eldest son of King Ping had two sons, Mu Chengjin and Mu Chenglan.

The second son of King Ping, who is also Mu Xiangyang's father, had him and the fifth son, Mu Xiangxi.

The third son of Prince Ping had a fourth son, Mu Xuerou, and a sixth son, Mu Yifan, who is currently three years old.

The eldest brother looked at Mu Xiangyang with a fawning smile: "Xiangyang, you're a favorite of the Emperor now, so please help your two older brothers!"

Mu Xiangyang didn't speak, but looked at his father: "Dad, what do you say?"

Of King Ping's three sons, the second son appeared to be the oldest.

Hearing Mu Xiangyang's question, he closed his eyes and slowly said, "Brother, I've already lost one son because of your two sons. Do you want me to lose another one?"

The eldest brother quickly retorted, "Second brother, what do you mean by 'lost'? Xiang Xi is perfectly fine at the border, isn't he? It's just that he doesn't want to come back!"

“Uncle.” Mu Xiangyang looked at his eldest brother and said calmly, “How do you expect Fifth Brother to come back? Three years ago, he should have been promoted to General, a third-rank official with a bright future. But for Mu Chengjin and Mu Chenglan, he gave up all his official positions and went to the frontier to perform forced labor. He only became a soldier a year ago.”

"Xiangyang, you wouldn't do this, you're on good terms with the young master, just help your uncle out!"

"That's right, Xiangyang, those are your two older brothers after all!" The third brother, always eager for drama, said, "We, the sixth brother, have no choice but to give it to the child. If you were as capable as us, I would definitely ask the sixth brother to help!"

"Third brother!" The second brother glared at the third brother, "You're just talking without any sense of the situation."

“Since Third Uncle has spoken, I do have a solution. Yes, Sixth Brother is still young, but Xue Rou is of marriageable age. If we marry Xue Rou to Prince Yu, with Prince Yu's intercession, the Emperor will surely be lenient. What do you think?”

Mu Xiangyang looked coldly at the third brother: "This Prince Yu has a certificate of merit and is the emperor's own uncle. He likes beautiful women the most. Xue Rou won't suffer much if she marries him. I think the third uncle should be very willing!"
