Yu Jingyuan and Yu Jingyuan were terrified and retreated repeatedly, shouting "Injustice!" but no one paid any attention to them.
As they watched the approaching guards, and then at Pei Wuwang's calm yet calculating face, their hatred reached its peak, all directed at Pei Wuwang.
It's all because of that ingrate! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in this situation! But no amount of hatred could help, as the guards quickly rushed up.
The two men were pinned down, shackled, and dragged away.
As they struggled, they cursed Pei Wuwang, their voices filled with resentment and bitterness.
But he could only watch helplessly as he was taken away, plunging him into utter despair.
Yu Jingyuan and Yu Jingyuan were held down by the guards, their wrists aching from the shackles. They were trembling with anger, their faces flushed red, and the rage in their chests was about to burst forth.
As they struggled, they screamed at the top of their lungs, "Let us go! Do you know who we are? We are princes from a neighboring country! How dare you, the Great Liang, treat the royal family of another country like this? Aren't you afraid of triggering a war between our two nations?"
His voice was filled with furious resentment, and his eyes were filled with utter despair as he stared intently at Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang, as if he wanted to devour them alive.
They couldn't swallow this insult. They had come to take advantage and seek benefits, but Pei Wuwang had instigated them with just a few words.
They were branded as spies and now they're going to be imprisoned. How can they accept this?
The guards initially intended to drag the man away, but upon hearing the words "a prince from another country," they hesitated.
He paused involuntarily, turning to look at the Second Prince. The Second Prince's face was grim, though he was filled with suspicion.
However, he was also wary of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If he were to kill or imprison the prince of the neighboring country, it could indeed trigger a war. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and snort coldly: "Release them! They may be spared the death penalty, but they will not escape punishment. Keep an eye on them for me and do not allow them to leave the capital even a step!"
Yu Jingyuan and Yu Jingyuan regained their freedom, but they no longer had their previous arrogance. They just glared fiercely at Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang and said a few harsh words like "You just wait."
He slunk away, his heart already filled with deep resentment.
The second, third, and fourth princes were still furious, their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at Pei Wuwang, but they couldn't find a reason to lash out.
He could only leave dejectedly, but he secretly made a grudge and resolved to find another opportunity to deal with Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang.
In the following days, the Second Prince repeatedly sent people to inquire about Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang's whereabouts.
They wanted to cause trouble, but Pei Wuwang and Shen Qingtang were already on guard.
He deliberately avoided them, causing them to repeatedly come to them empty-handed, which angered the Third Prince to the point that he almost smashed up his own residence.
Lu Jiaojiao, who was turned into a living dead by Shen Qingtang, and later regained some consciousness.
Somehow, she had somehow gotten in touch with the Second Prince. This child was only five years old.
Perhaps her mind was completely twisted by the resentment in her heart, because every time she saw the Second Prince, she would open her eyes with a pair of vicious eyes.
Clutching at the Second Prince's sleeve, she cried, "Second Prince, you must stand up for me! That poisonous woman, Shen Qingtang, turned me into a monster and caused my parents to suffer. She's ruthless and full of evil intentions. Don't be fooled by her appearance! All her shops and businesses were acquired through sorcery. She's a wicked witch who brings disaster to the country!"
Her voice was shrill, her eyes were sinister, and she had no childlike innocence at all. Instead, she was like a little madwoman poisoned by poison, repeating her slander against Shen Qingtang over and over again.
She was trying to sow discord between the Second Prince and Shen Qingtang. The Second Prince already harbored resentment towards Shen Qingtang, and after hearing Lu Jiaojiao's words, he became even more determined to get rid of her.
