The hunters had only been in the capital for a short time, and the only person they knew who had a conflict with them was the heir of the Duke of Maoguo. In addition, the heir of the Duke of Maoguo was ruthless and treated human life as worthless. He had tried to shoot the hunters during the hunt, and since he had lost face, he would definitely want to take revenge. So they wanted to go and ask the heir of the Duke of Maoguo.
Fearing that Xie Jingyan might not return home all day, Shen Wan was worried and didn't let him go with her. The three of them went instead. They had always kept to themselves and had no dealings with the heir of the Duke of Maoguo. When the gatekeeper of the Duke of Maoguo's mansion refused to let them in, they simply barged in.
At that time, the heir of the Duke of Mao was having dinner. When they barged in, he wanted to order his men to arrest him, but they asked him directly, "Did you arrest that hunter?"
The heir of the Duke of Mao had wondered what the heir of the Prince of Yanping and his group had done to break into his Duke of Mao's mansion. He hadn't expected it to be just for a hunter. He said, "I'm curious who that hunter is to you. Why would you come to my Duke of Mao's mansion for him?"
The Prince of Yanping said, "It seems you have captured the person."
The heir of the Duke of Maoguo continued eating, saying, "You've really become addicted to meddling in other people's business. You're even meddling in my affairs now. Throw that person out of here."
The servants surrounded him, and Tang Ze, leaning on the table, looked at the heir of the Duke of Maoguo and said, "It seems we won't get any answers from you here; the eldest son-in-law will have to come and ask you personally."
The Crown Prince of Maoguo's heart sank. "What do you mean by that? Do you think the eldest son-in-law is as carefree as you are?"
Tang Ze said, "The hunter you captured is Princess Huyang's own flesh and blood, your cousin."
"Even if the eldest son-in-law is not idle, he still has to take care of his own son's affairs."
These words startled the heir of the Duke of Maoguo so much that he dropped his chopsticks.
He knew that Princess Huyang's biological child had been adopted by a hunter, but wasn't that hunter more than two hundred miles away from the capital? How could he be in the capital?!
The thought that he had imprisoned the man in the city patrol office and given him special instructions made him turn pale and run away.
Prince Yanping and his entourage followed him to the city patrol office. There, they saw people on the racks in the city patrol office's prison, where the jailers were administering torture. When they saw Prince Maoguo's son arrive, the jailers tried to curry favor with him, but Prince Maoguo's son slapped them so hard they spun around several times.
The heir of the Duke of Maoguo wanted to take the person back to the Duke of Maoguo's residence, but the heir of the Prince of Yanping and his entourage brought the person to the Prince of Ling's residence.
Doctor Tao sat down to take the pulse of Princess Huyang's son, then wrote a prescription. Young Master Tao filled the medicine, and Doctor Tao looked at Shen Wan, saying, "I'll apply the medicine for him. Your Highness, please excuse yourself."
Shen Wan turned and went out. She had only taken a few steps when she saw the Imperial Son-in-Law hurrying over.
Upon entering the room and seeing his son, whom he had longed for day and night for over a decade, covered in whip marks, his face turned ashen.
A group of people lit hundreds and thousands of candles in their hearts for the heir of the Duke of Maoguo.
