Seeing this scene, Leng Chuchen felt inexplicably heartbroken. The Empress Dowager, enduring the pain in her arm, let out a soft groan.
"Return to the palace immediately."
Li Dazui and the others, who had been hiding at the door watching the commotion, were also stunned by what they saw.
No wonder that woman was so fearless when she hit them earlier. It turns out that her master is the current Empress Dowager. With such a noble status, let alone hitting them a few times, even if she took their heads, they would have to obediently comply.
Zhiwan watched helplessly as Yiming was taken away, and her hatred for Leng Chuchen intensified.
Now that she knew he was the crown prince, she secretly vowed in her heart that she would never let him know about Yiming's background, otherwise, the child's life would be in danger.
When Yiming was taken away, Jiawang's mother cried so hard she fainted. Although Zhiruo was equally heartbroken, she still had to comfort her mother, so she only dared to sob softly and did not dare to cry out loud.
Luo Tianhe went crazy and wanted to confront the man surnamed Chu, but Zhiwan stopped him.
“Father, the royal family is ruthless. If you go, not only will you not be able to save Yiming, but you might also be bitten in return.”
"What are we going to do? Are we just going to sit here and wait? I told you long ago not to mess with that guy surnamed Chu. He's not from Phoenix City, and he's not one of us. Now look what's happened, you cured his illness, and he's turned around and biting you."
Jiawang's mother was also there, sobbing and muttering to herself.
"Yiming is only three years old, and they don't even spare a three-year-old child. These people are truly vicious."
Zhiwan kneaded her hands together, her fingernails digging directly into her flesh.
Luo Tianhe suddenly slapped his head with both hands, looking annoyed.
"It's all my fault. Why did I have to bring Yiming to the front yard? If he hadn't come to the front yard, none of this would have happened."
"father……"
Seeing Luo Tianhe blaming himself, Zhiwan gently comforted him:
"This whole thing was Yiming's fault. If he hadn't bitten anyone, none of this would have happened. We can't excuse him just because he's a child and doesn't know any better."
"But he's only three years old!"
"You can tell what a person will be like at three years old. If we don't let him know now that he has to take responsibility for his mistakes, he will become even more reckless in the future."
Although she said that, she was actually more anxious than anyone else.
That was the child she had raised for three years, the child who had called her "Mother" for three years!
At this moment, Jiawang rushed into the backyard like a madman, shouting as he ran.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Sister, the young city lord has brought many soldiers to take us away."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiwan felt as if all the blood in her body rushed to her head.
It seems they really messed with someone they shouldn't have; this time, the Luo family will likely face serious consequences.
At this moment, Old Lady Luo suddenly shouted,
“It’s all that little bastard’s fault. Why should our family take the blame? You take that little bastard away from here right now. Tianhe, you go and tell the officials that she’s not a child of the Luo family and that this has nothing to do with our Luo family.”
Luo Tianhe turned around and glared at Old Madam Luo with hatred.
"What kind of time is this to say such things? If it weren't for Zhiwan all these years, would you have been living so comfortably? Now that something has just happened, you're already kicking someone when they're down? Your selfish temper hasn't changed at all."
"Hmph! I knew all along that she and her little bastard wouldn't have any good things to do here, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened, you've even offended the Empress Dowager. Let's see how you clean this up. You might even face the extermination of your entire family."
Upon hearing this, Zhiwan abruptly stood up from her chair, her expression cool and aloof as she looked at Old Madam Luo.
"You've said plenty of sarcastic things over the years, and I've never bothered with you. But now that something's happened, you're still making sarcastic remarks. It really breaks my heart. Don't worry, I won't implicate you. I'll explain to the authorities that I, Luo Zhiwan, am not a member of your Luo family."
“Zhiwan”.
Luo Tianhe stood up and stopped her from going to the front yard, then looked at Zhiruo, Jiawang, and Jiawang's mother.
“This time we’ve offended some important people we shouldn’t have. It’s too late to say anything now that it’s happened. Those who consider Zhiwan family should go with her to the front yard for trial. Those who don’t want to go can stay here. From now on, we’re no longer family.”
After leaving those words, he was the first to stride forward, followed by Jiawang's mother, Zhiruo, and Jiawang. Only Old Lady Luo sat there with a livid face, motionless, muttering curses under her breath, seemingly cursing Luo Tianhe and the others for being too stupid and foolish, not as clever as an old woman like herself, and for not knowing to avoid suspicion at this time.
Seeing her family members still conspiring with her at this time, Zhiwan's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and two lines of clear tears fell down.
In the front yard, Xie Jiaxun stood inside the clinic, his eyes fixed on the door leading to the back yard.
He had only just learned that the young master Chu was the current crown prince, and that the old lady Chu was the empress dowager.
He had just learned that Yiming had bitten the Empress Dowager, who was furious and immediately issued an imperial edict ordering the government to arrest the Luo family.
When he arrived at the Luo family clinic, Jiawang happened to be returning, so he asked Jiawang to go to the backyard to inform Luo Zhiwan.
He didn't want to rush in with the officers to arrest them; he wanted to give them enough time to prepare.
When he saw Luo Tianhe appear before him with the Luo family, he took two steps forward and sighed with pity.
"Uncle Luo, how did things turn out like this?"
Luo Tianhe sighed helplessly, and Zhiwan asked softly:
Where is Yiming?
Xie Jiaxun shook his head.
"I haven't seen him. I guess he was taken away."
"Where did you take it?"
"The Empress Dowager and her entourage have left Phoenix City and returned to the capital."
