Minister Jiang was not only darker-skinned than others, but also extremely upright. In daily life, no matter how low or high an official's rank, if anyone made a mistake, Minister Jiang would be impeached. He was never afraid of powerful people.
"I've long heard that the capital is not a place for reason, but I never imagined that the three of you, with your important status, would encounter such a troublesome situation. It's clear that what they said is true."
Just then, Ah Jiu, who had been engrossed in eating snacks, pouted and said.
Originally, Li Youran had come out happily to eat roast duck, but unexpectedly encountered such a thing. She lost her appetite for roast duck and continued talking while looking at Ajiu.
"Are you full? If you are, let's go back early. We still need to find the owner of the jade pendant."
When Ah Jiu heard someone say they would help him find his enemy, he quickly finished the rest of his snacks, clapped his hands, stood up from the stool, and obediently stood behind You Luran.
"You two should go home early. As for the Wang family, don't worry about them. I'll handle those matters."
After Li Youran finished speaking, she left with Ajiu, followed closely by Jiang Qianqian and Zhou Caidie.
As for what the Wang family will do, they are not overly worried, since it was Wang Kai who stirred up trouble first.
That very evening, rumors spread that the only son of Lord Wang had been injured in his genitals, and that the Wang family line might end in the future.
Immediately afterwards, news spread that Li Youran shamelessly attacked Wang Kai and injured his genitals.
Some people say that Wang Kai wanted to flirt with Li Youran, but ended up getting his manhood injured by her instead. There were all sorts of rumors circulating, and none of them had a good word to say about You Ran.
"I am deeply grateful and honored that Your Highness the Third Prince has come to visit my son."
As Master Wang spoke, he was about to kneel down to pay his respects when the Third Prince helped him up, looking at him with concern.
"Lord Wang, there's no need for such formalities. No one could accept such a thing happening to them."
As the Third Prince spoke, he continued with a worried expression.
"However, Lord Wang, don't be too sad. There's always a way. I brought the most famous imperial physician in the capital with me. Maybe he can help."
Upon hearing the Third Prince's words, Master Wang's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly invited the Third Prince and the imperial physician to rush to Wang Kai's courtyard.
"Although Young Master Wang's injuries are serious, there is still a chance to recover."
After examining Wang Kai's injuries, the imperial physician bowed and addressed Master Wang.
Mr. Wang's face lit up with joy. As long as there was still hope for his son's treatment, he was no longer so heartbroken.
"Young Master Wang, I've heard rumors that the princess injured your manhood. What exactly happened?"
The Third Prince sat by Wang Kai's bedside and brought up the matter in a casual, conversational tone.
Wang Kai, who had initially shown some joy, immediately darkened his face upon hearing Li Youran's name.
"Your Highness, you are unaware of the truth. Li Youran is a ruthless woman. I only accidentally wandered into her private room, and she treated me so cruelly."
Wang Kai downplayed the main points, choosing only what was advantageous to him, and while speaking, he didn't forget to embellish and demonize Li Youran.
"The little boy next to her looked very young, but he had learned Li Youran's wicked ways and actually stuffed a rag into my mouth."
Wang Kai said fiercely. When the Third Prince heard Wang Kai mention that You Ran was accompanied by a little boy, he suddenly raised an eyebrow and asked with some interest.
"You mean there was a little boy with Li Youran?"
"Yes, Li Youran was accompanied by a thin boy. Come to think of it, the boy looks somewhat like you! I almost thought she was your illegitimate child."
After Wang Kai finished speaking, he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have, and smiled sheepishly.
The Third Prince didn't pay much attention, asked Wang Kai a few more questions, and then left with the imperial physician.
As for Lord Wang's complaint to the emperor, Li Youran had indeed guessed correctly.
However, before Lord Wang filed his complaint with the emperor, Qianqian's father, the Minister, had already impeached Lord Wang.
Not only that, but he also wrote about Wang Kai's situation directly in the memorial to the throne.
It is said that first impressions matter, and since the Emperor had already read Lord Jiang's memorial, he naturally would no longer believe Lord Wang's words, so the matter of Lord Wang's complaint to the Emperor was dropped.
"I really believed your nonsense, you kept saying you would help me find my enemy, but now I haven't found him, and instead I've been ambushed by him again."
As Ajiu spoke, she glanced at her left arm, which was wrapped up tightly.
"Who told you, my enemy, to be so different? Everyone else is overjoyed to have a child. But he's different. Not only does he refuse to acknowledge the child, but he also sends people to assassinate him. I really don't know what he's thinking."
Li Youran looked at the jade pendant lying in two on the table and frowned as she spoke.
He really didn't know what kind of trouble the Third Prince had with Ajiu's mother. Was there some unspeakable secret between them?
But no matter what, Jiu is innocent. Are emperors born heartless, capable of such cruelty even to their own flesh and blood?
"They say even tigers don't eat their cubs, but I've learned something new today."
"You woman, you never learn. How many times have I told you, he is not my father, he is my enemy."
