"Oh? Then can Prince Xue prove that what he said is true?" Li Zhengxuan asked.
"Ever since my right leg was injured, I have been trapped in the Marquis' Mansion, isolated from the outside world, and have never had any contact with the two of them."
Xue Yuanchu felt a little regretful. If he had listened to his mother and wife's advice, he wouldn't have fallen into such a predicament today.
Jiang Ren came closer with a sly look on his face and said, "Brother Yuanchu, the three of us originally agreed to sell those prostitutes to the brothels in Su City and split the profits 50-50. Don't forget that."

However, at this moment, she saw a hint of determination to reform in Xue Yuanchu's determined eyes, like the rising sun, although weak, but full of hope.
