Cen Jiaan's face remained calm. Instead of relaxing at all, he unconsciously increased the strength of his feet a little.

His gloomy face showed no emotion, and his voice was cold and emotionless: "Spare my life? Do you know who Lord Liang is?"

"You dare to cause trouble in Rouge Pavilion? Do you take Lord Liang seriously?"

"If you don't take Lord Liang seriously, then you don't take the emperor seriously."

"Do you know..."

Before Cen Jiaan finished speaking, Shen Yuexi walked out holding Liang Yuyu and scolded her in a deep voice, "Young Master Cen, be careful with your words."

Shen Yuexi and Liang Yuyu heard it clearly in the store just now.

[This Cen Jiaan seems to want to help Dad find out who is behind Zhu the Butcher.]

【In reality, his words were deliberately flattering his father.】

If these words spread in the capital, at best, Daddy would be accused of bullying others, relying on his high position to treat ordinary people as if they were human beings and even threatening them in the street.

[The main point is that Daddy is using the Emperor's title to bully others.]

[The current emperor is a person who cares about protecting his relatives.]

[If these words reach His Majesty's ears, what will happen?]

That's why there was a scene where Shen Yuexi came out and scolded Cen Jiaan.

She held Liang Yuyu in her arms and strode to Cen Jiaan.

Shen Yuexi frowned slightly, her eyes wandering over Cen Jiaan's body, finally landing on Zhu the Butcher's face, which looked like a crushed meat pie.

"Young Master Cen, please show some mercy."

As Shen Yuexi spoke, she took a step forward and unnoticeably pulled Cen Jiaan away.

"This butcher Zhu certainly made mistakes, but the people behind him are even more hateful. Zhu the butcher is just an ordinary citizen after all. Young Master Cen is being too cruel to him."

Upon hearing this, the people around nodded their heads.

"Yeah, just ask the truth about this matter, why are you in such a hurry to torture him?"

"This young Master Cen is the adopted son of Minister Cen. Before, he was just an orphan living on the streets. He truly lacks supervision and education. If Minister Cen had raised a child himself, this would definitely not happen."

Liang Yuyu listened to the discussions of the people around her, and a hint of coldness appeared on her cute little face.

[It seems that I underestimated Cen Jiaan.]

Although this move ruined his own reputation, it also drew everyone's attention to him.

[As a result, Minister Cen once again mysteriously disappeared from this matter.]

[Just like the incident where Cen Yiyi stopped a car on the street, the all-important Cen Mansion has now become a mystery.]

[The person who was pushed to the stage was just an unimportant adopted son! ]

Liang Yuyu frowned slightly and stared at Cen Jiaan thoughtfully.

[Good boy, there's something.]

[Mother, you must not let Cen Jiaan confuse the public.]

[Since Cuixiang and Xianglan are sisters, even if the Great Tiancen Mansion is exposed, they cannot escape the connection.]

Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows, half turned her head, glanced into the store, and ordered in a deep voice: "Liu Qiu, bring Miss Cuixiang out."

Cuixiang was taken outside the store by Liu Qiu.

She had a white silk scarf covering her face, which made her red eyes look even more pitiful.

Cuixiang trembled as she walked forward and saw Zhu the Butcher lying on the ground with a disheveled look on his face. She subconsciously took a few steps back, lowered her eyelids timidly, and did not dare to look at Zhu the Butcher.

"Cui Xiang, don't be afraid."

Shen Yuexi pulled Cuixiang in front of her and said, "You just said that Zhu the Butcher threatened you with Xianglan's life to smear the things he brought back?"

Cuixiang didn't dare to answer. She hung her head, nodded, and then quickly shook her head.

Shen Yuexi was not in a hurry. She gently patted the back of Cuixiang's hand and whispered, "Don't worry, Minister Cen is here today."

"After all, Xianglan has been working in Minister Cen's residence for so long. Even Minister Cen wouldn't stand by and watch Butcher Zhu threaten anyone with Xianglan's life."

Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Cen Shang: "Minister Cen, right?"

The latter was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Of course."

Shen Yuexi smiled indifferently and looked at Zhu the Butcher coldly: "Why don't you tell me the truth? Where did you hide Xianglan? And who ordered Cuixiang to frame my Rouge Pavilion?"

Butcher Zhu covered his face with one hand and his heart with the other, and tremblingly turned his eyes to the side, his gaze falling on Minister Cen's face.

Before Butcher Zhu could speak, Shen Yuexi shouted, "You fool! What are you looking at Minister Cen for?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Minister Cen's face.

Shen Yuexi continued, "Could it be that Minister Cen hid Xianglan?"

"As far as I know, Xianglan is Miss Cen's personal maid. She often serves Minister Cen. Why would Minister Cen hide a little girl for no reason?"

"Why are you staring at Minister Cen? Are you trying to sow discord between our two families?"

Liang Yuyu looked at Shen Yuexi with her eyes wide open and a face full of rage, and her heart couldn't help but burst into joy.

【Mother is really amazing! 】

[This move is exactly the same as Cen Jiaan's.]

[Since Minister Cen wants to disappear, then we can just drag him out in front of the public and whip his corpse.]

[As such, even if he didn't want to respond, he had no choice but to respond.]

really!

When Minister Cen heard what Shen Yuexi said, he couldn't hold back his face no matter how thick-skinned he was.

He had an awkward smile on his face and looked around awkwardly, seeing that everyone was looking at him.

Helpless, Minister Cen could only look at Butcher Zhu gloomily: "Why are you looking at me? Although Xianglan has left the Cen Mansion, she worked diligently when she was in my house. If anyone dares to harm Xianglan, I will not let him go."

After he finished speaking, Minister Cen lowered his voice, and the following words almost jumped out from between his teeth: "You must think carefully and answer seriously!"

Butcher Zhu was trembling all over, probably even he himself had not expected this.

I thought it was just a simple matter, but it turned out to be what it is today.

He pondered for a long time, his body weakened and his head drooped. He whispered, "Xianglan... I hid Xianglan in a dilapidated temple outside the city. I... I owe a lot of gambling debts, and I want Cuixiang to help me blackmail Yanzhi Pavilion."

"I was afraid she wouldn't agree, so I threatened Cuixiang with Xianglan's whereabouts."

As he spoke, Zhu the Butcher looked up at Minister Cen with a meaningful look in his eyes: "This was all my idea alone, no one else instructed me. I beg you to spare my family."

【Needless to say.】

Liang Yuyu blinked her lips, fluttered her eyelids, and looked at Minister Cen with disdain.

This Cen guy is absolutely wicked. He must have threatened the lives of the family members.

[It seems that no matter how much he asks, Zhu the Butcher will not give up Minister Cen.]
