Seeing that it was the young ancestor of the Zhao family who came, Zhu Wencai's heart couldn't help but shudder, and he had to clasp his fists respectfully: "My cousin, they say that misfortune should not affect family members. Even if Miss Ye is unjust, we can't make things difficult for her friends. Wouldn't that put Your Highness in an unjust position?"
Zhu Ran also echoed, "My cousin, General Zhu is right. Our Highness is the lord of Yuezhou. If he were to kill Miss Ye's friends and family just because she broke off the engagement, the world would undoubtedly laugh at him if this got out."
Zhao Yingying now hopes that her cousin and that little bitch will never have anything to do with each other again.
"It is precisely because of my cousin's noble status that others cannot be so blasphemous." Zhao Yingying rebuked him righteously, "If he is not severely punished, everyone will be able to make fun of the Yongning Palace in the future."
After saying that, he immediately ordered the guards behind him, "What are you all standing there for? Bring them all out and take them to Caishikou to be executed by slow slicing. Especially that woman surnamed Chu. I heard she's closest to the Ye family's little bitch. I'm going to personally chop her into pieces."
"Let's see who dares."
Zhu Wencai's eyes flashed with anger, and he immediately drew his sword to stop everyone.
The reason why Miss Ye left still needs to be found out. Besides, Chu Yin had finally escaped from the cage of the Qi family, and now she lost her life because of Miss Ye for no reason. It was really unfair.
He couldn't bear to see people with miserable lives being bullied.
"Miss Yin and her child are now orphans and widows, they are already very pitiful, why do you have to vent your anger on this poor mother and daughter?" Zhu Wencai continued to persuade her earnestly: "Please think twice, my dear cousin, no one can do the job for His Highness."
Zhao Yingying was furious at his disobedience and cursed, "Zhu Wencai, you are so bold that you even dare to disobey me. If you don't back down, I will kill you first."
"If Miss Ye wants to kill me, I have no complaints." Zhu Wencai replied calmly, "But before Your Highness wakes up, I will not allow anyone to murder Miss Ye's friends or their families without permission."
"Okay, you bastard, do you really think I dare not kill you?" Zhao Yingying angrily grabbed a knife and slashed directly at Zhu Wencai.
Just as the sharp blade was about to chop towards Zhu Wencai's head, a sharp rebuke suddenly came.
"stop."
When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw Concubine Zhang being supported by Mu Qingqing and getting off the carriage.
Fu Yunni ran ahead, rushing forward in anger, and yelled at Zhao Yingying, "Who gives my cousin such a big deal? Do you know who this person is in front of you? He's been with my eldest brother through thick and thin, and you're going to kill him with just one sentence?"
"Ani, I'm helping your elder brother vent his anger," Zhao Yingying explained.
"Put aside your hypocritical kindness." Fu Yunni pushed her away fiercely. "My mother and I haven't said anything about my elder brother and sister-in-law's affairs. Why should you, an outsider, interfere?"
"You, you actually said I'm an outsider?" Zhao Yingying was furious. She looked at her aunt who was approaching her and choked with sobs, saying, "Aunt, please listen carefully. What is A Ni saying?"
"Cousin, my cousin's life or death is uncertain right now, so please don't make things worse."
Mu Qingqing complained, "Cousin, you keep saying you care about me, but how can you compare to Sister Wan? Sister Wan only cares about my safety. Look at what I do all day, it's no wonder my brother doesn't want to see you."
Zhao Yingying blushed after being scolded by her: "How can you have the right to speak here?"
Concubine Zhang's face darkened when she heard this: "What's the matter? Your Zhao family is so domineering now that they don't even take my daughter seriously?"
Seeing her aunt getting angry, Zhao Yingying was frightened and quickly shook her head: "Aunt, that's not what I meant."
Rolling her eyes secretly at Mu Qingqing, Zhao Yingying hurriedly explained, "My cousin from the Mu family is usually close to the girl from the Ye family. Yingying is worried that she has been deceived by Miss Ye. Aunt, think about it carefully. If Miss Ye is really as good as my cousin says, why would she abandon my cousin at this critical moment?"
"Sister-in-law must have her own reasons." Fu Yunni's eyes widened as she glared at Zhao Yingying fiercely, "I don't allow you to say bad things about her behind her back."
Concubine Zhang was worried about her son and had no intention of commenting on the matter.
Slowly picking up her daughter, Concubine Zhang only instructed Mu Qingqing: "We in the Yongning Palace have never done anything unjust. No matter why your wife left, her family will not be implicated. You will follow Zhu Wencai to bring Taowu's family back."
"yes."
Mu Qingqing bowed and took Zhu Wencai and Zhu Ran to the prison.
When they arrived at the prison, they saw that everyone was still safe and sound. Mu Qingqing first thanked Zhu Ran, "Thank you, magistrate, for taking care of us."
Zhu Ran smiled and shook his head: "This is my duty, Miss Mu, you don't have to be polite."
Immediately, she ordered Chu Yin, Mother Yan, Tao Anran, and the others to be released. Mu Qingqing stepped forward, picked up Qi Shuangshuang, and supported Chu Yin as they walked out, anxiously asking, "Sister Yin, do you know why Sister Wan left without saying goodbye?"
Although Chu Yin didn't dare to confirm her guess, based on her understanding of Wanwan, she roughly guessed the reason.
"A few days ago, on the day of the engagement, I heard someone from the Rongguo Mansion delivered a letter from the Duke's wife. Later, I learned that Your Highness would be traveling alone to Lin'an." Chu Yin speculated, "I'm afraid Wanwan is worried about the Duke's wife and doesn't want Your Highness to take the risk."
Zhu Wencai was puzzled: "Even if Miss Ye is worried about my prince, what can she do when she returns?"
Thinking of Miss Ye's resolute stance towards his Highness, Zhu Wencai sighed, "These suspicions alone will surely not dispel His Highness's doubts."
