Chapter 582
Madam Yun left in good condition, but returned in a disheveled state, seemingly in a daze, sparking much speculation among the crowd.
Soon, Zhong Jie arrived as well.
She made no attempt to hide her disgust for Madam Yun, and seeing her expression, everyone distanced themselves from Madam Yun.
But Madam Yun showed no interest in anything around her. She sat there blankly, muttering only one sentence—
"My child, where is my child...?"
The liveliness in the backyard was soon carried to the front yard, intentionally or unintentionally, by the servants moving between them.
For a moment, everyone's expressions turned strange as they looked at Yun Changliang and the Crown Prince.
The two were naturally puzzled, so they sent someone to inquire, only to find out that the matter that the two families had previously tried so hard to keep hidden was now completely exposed!
The eldest prince wasn't about to miss any opportunity for sarcastic remarks: "Second brother, you really are a man of few words! You found your niece so quietly, did you bring her out this time?"
As he spoke, the eldest prince turned his head and looked around: "Hmm? Why is not a single person from the Marquis of Changping's residence here? Second brother, what's going on?"
The crown prince's expression was not good: "I don't know."
"You don't know?" The eldest prince was even more gloating. "Wasn't the Marquis of Changping's residence very close to my second brother before? What, have they become distant now?"
The prince gritted his teeth.
Although Shen Jun is not very capable, his son is very promising!
The Crown Prince had finally managed to get Shen Rang into officialdom after years of hard work, but unexpectedly, this incident caused all of the Crown Prince's plans to go down the drain!
And yet, the eldest prince so casually brought it up...
That really hits right where it hurts!
The more distressed the Crown Prince was, the happier the First Prince became; he was practically smiling so much that wrinkles were forming at the corners of his eyes.
Looking at Yun Changliang standing to the side, he also looked dejected and pathetic.
The smile lines at the corners of the eldest prince's eyes have deepened.
It's truly rare and incredibly satisfying that one woman could bring these two people to this state at the same time!
The Crown Prince is, after all, the Crown Prince, and those around him dared not say anything; their words were all directed at Yun Changliang.
They said he couldn't distinguish between family members and strangers, and was unfit to be a father!
Now that his actions have been exposed, people finally understand what Chen Zongwen meant by "unfit to be a father" in his memorial.
It's true!
For a moment, everyone's gaze towards Yun Changliang became even more complicated.
That look made Yun Changliang feel like he had thorns in his back, and he was restless.
The banquet was a huge embarrassment for the Yun family, and it provided plenty of entertainment for everyone. As they left, they couldn't help but sigh at the feigned composure of the Yun couple.
——
The censors acted swiftly, and the next day, a memorial was placed on the emperor's desk.
The emperor was getting a headache just looking at it.
It seems that trying to force Chen Zongwen to meet him using this matter will not work.
As the emperor watched, his gaze suddenly sharpened.
The Crown Prince's biological daughter is actually the Yun family's adopted daughter?!
He knew absolutely nothing about such a big thing!
The emperor put down the memorial, his face grim.
His son has really grown up; he's managed to cover things up so well...
A question suddenly popped into the emperor's mind.
Besides this matter, how much else has the Crown Prince been hiding from him?
Once doubts take root, they will quickly sprout branches and grow into towering trees that block out the sun.
Two days later, the emperor suspended the crown prince from all his duties, ostensibly to let him rest, but at this critical juncture, the emperor's actions were tantamount to telling everyone that he was dissatisfied with the crown prince.
