Yao Ruolan didn't know where the strength came from, but she had only one thought in her mind: May the person who harmed her die!

The fourth prince nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding Yao Ruolan's attack.

Having grown up in the cannibalistic palace, Lin Mupo's sensitivity was already extraordinary.

He had seen the madness in Yao Ruolan's eyes long ago.

He glared at Yao Ruolan, "You crazy woman! How dare you try to assassinate me!"

Yao Ruolan was not afraid. She stood up, her eyes revealing despair and determination. "Even if I die, I will make you pay with your life!" With that, she charged at the Fourth Prince again. However, this time the Fourth Prince was prepared. He easily grabbed Yao Ruolan's wrist and threw her to the ground.

Just then, a commotion arose outside the door, and a group of guards rushed in.

"Your Highness, should we take her down?" The Fourth Prince glanced at Yao Ruolan lying on the ground, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

He shook his head. "Take her away and lock her up." The guards obeyed and dragged Yao Ruolan away, leaving only the Fourth Prince and the scissors in the room.

The fourth prince stared at the scissors; just now, he had the urge to kill.

However, he thought of his father, the emperor.

Killing Yao Ruolan at this time would displease the Emperor.

His marriage to Yao Ruolan was arranged by imperial decree.

Killing her would be an act of dissatisfaction with the Emperor.

We must not kill them, at least not today.

When Madam Yao saw those women being searched, she knew that Grand Tutor Yao was finished, and so was she.

Madam Yao collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.

Madam Yao did not concern herself with these women.

However, she also guessed it.

Grand Tutor Yao must have used some means.

These women were not all from brothels; many were from respectable families.

Many women initially refused to submit, even at the cost of their lives.

However, once they've done it the first time, they won't make a fuss again.

Making a fuss is useless if you've lost your innocence.

Over time, you gradually become numb to it.

In the past two days, gossip about the Yao family has spread throughout the capital.

Many people who heard the news came and threw rotten vegetable leaves all over the front of Yao's mansion.

Madam Yao understood that the Yao family mansion was completely destroyed, and as the mistress of the Yao family, she would surely be severely punished.

The soldier roughly pulled her up.

People in the capital were discussing the matter extensively, and all felt disgusted by Grand Tutor Yao's behavior.

I never expected that Grand Tutor Yao was such a hypocrite.

His students also stood up to denounce their teacher and issued statements declaring that they were severing their teacher-student relationship.

For a time, the Grand Tutor's Mansion became synonymous with filth.

Some people also expressed their regret over Yao Ruolan's fate.

She was once a pampered young lady, but now she has a terrible reputation.

The fourth prince spread the word that she was no longer a virgin and had been violated by bandits during the days she was kidnapped.

The news reached Jiang Chuwei's ears.

Jiang Chuwei sighed.

This is also Yao Ruolan's retribution.

Jiang Chuwei knew that her innocence had not actually been ruined.

The abducted women can testify to this.

The kidnappers were utterly depraved; they didn't even try to hide from people when they were abusing them.

So they know which person lost their virginity.

They heard the kidnapper leader say that the Grand Tutor's daughter could not be moved.

The kidnappers who were caught also said that they hadn't touched Yao Ruolan at all.

The Fourth Prince is deliberately spreading this rumor to put Yao Ruolan to death.

This could also make Yao Taifu's crime even more serious.

Marrying a daughter who has lost her virginity to a prince is to trample on the dignity of the royal family.

“Yao Ruolan won’t survive either,” Jiang Chuwei said.

She didn't know how she felt.

Yao Ruolan harbored ill will towards Jiang Chuwei.

However, Jiang Chuwei never regarded her as an enemy.

He was just a stranger who didn't like her.

"Is Father Emperor becoming more and more incomprehensible?" Lin Muheng said.

"Did something happen?" Jiang Chuwei asked.

“He issued an edict ordering Yao Ruolan to be executed,” Lin Muheng said.

"What?" Jiang Chuwei exclaimed in surprise.

She thought that Yao Ruolan would be unable to withstand the blow and would commit suicide.

I never imagined that the emperor would order my death.

"The fourth prince said she was impure, and the emperor felt that he had been tricked by the father and daughter."

After hearing Lin Muheng's words, Jiang Chuwei felt a lump in her throat.

“Yao Ruolan is a bit arrogant, but she was also a victim in what happened on the mountain,” Jiang Chuwei said sadly.

Your Majesty, you really don't treat people like human beings.

"She was implicated by Yao Jian; the bandits in the mountains are connected to Yao Jian."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Chuwei asked in surprise.

"It was Yao Jian who recruited them today. Those women were all kidnapped from various places by bandits." When Lin Muheng heard this, he smashed the table to pieces.

What a beast! To satisfy his desires, he actually colluded with bandits.

"Those bandits aren't real bandits, doesn't Grand Tutor Yao know that?"

"I only found out later. At first, those bandits only helped him kidnap women. Yao Taifu paid for it, and the two parties exchanged money for the women."

"As more and more women came to trade, Black Panther finally revealed his identity. Knowing that the bandits were spies from the enemy country, Grand Tutor Yao was already deeply involved and dared not turn against them, so he could only do as they said."

"Black Panther's target is me, which is why he made a deal with Grand Tutor Yao, pretending to kidnap his daughter to the mountain. They believed that having an official's daughter among them would make it easier to attract the Emperor's attention."

"So Grand Tutor Yao did it, colluding with bandits to kidnap his own daughter?" Jiang Chuwei couldn't believe it.

"Yes, Grand Tutor Yao only made one condition: that his daughter's innocence be guaranteed." Lin Muheng couldn't understand how there could be such a father.
