After the guard finished speaking, not only the prince and others, but even Song Hongshen was shocked.
Ask the prince to save his life? Is Rong Yi going to kill someone else?
Logically speaking, Rong Yi had taken advantage of this matter, so why would he want to kill someone?
Shen Zhixiu asked the guard who came to report, "Where is Prince Rong? Did he come out with us?"
The guard shook his head, "I haven't seen Rong Shizi." He hesitated for a moment and said, "Third Master, please ask a few maids to go and take a look. It's not easy for us to go forward."
Su Qingyu understood and stepped forward and said, "Third Master, I'll take some people to take a look first."
Shen Zhixiu nodded. Given the current situation, Su Qingyu was indeed the only person who would be suitable to step forward. Besides the maids and servants, he also instructed Jiang Qi to bring someone else along.
Before leaving, Su Qingyu said to Su Shunci and Su Zhilan, "You two should not stay here anymore. Go back first."
She still didn't know what was going on, but according to the guards' report, it seemed like Rong Huai was the perpetrator. She was still worried about her two younger sisters being here.
The two nodded in agreement, but did not leave. Instead, they followed Su Yuanzhou. Su Yuanzhou did not think much about it, thinking that with him protecting his sister, nothing would happen.
Su Qingyu, along with her maids and servants, walked towards the courtyard where Rong Yi lived.
Before I got closer, I saw a girl trying to come out of the door, but she was stopped by several guards at the door.
The girl's hair was disheveled, and her clothes were tattered. A shocking purple mark appeared on her fair neck. On her exposed shoulders, blood-red scars could be seen, as if left by a whip.
She was barefoot, her eyes filled with fear as she negotiated with the guard at the door, "Big brother, please let me out. I want to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
She cried as she spoke, but the guard at the door remained unmoved and didn't even look at her.
The guards of Rongyi had seen this kind of thing many times. How could they dare to let anyone out until the prince came out?
Su Qingyu guessed that this person should be the Miss Honglian mentioned by the prince.
The guard who had just reported the news explained beside Su Qingyu: "Madam, those guarding the door are all Rong Shizi's men."
Su Qingyu instructed Zhenzhu, "Go and invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Master over first, and then bring the cloak and some clothes for a change of clothes."
Seeing this, Pearl turned around and ran away.
Su Qingyu stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing that it was a lady, Honglian burst into tears and wanted to rush to Su Qingyu and beg her to save her.
The guards at the door were still blocking their way. Jiang Qi led his men forward and shouted coldly, "This is the Third Madam of the Shen family. Are you stopping our Third Madam on Shen family territory?"
The people brought by Rong Yi could stop Hong Lian, but they could not stop Jiang Qi.
Seeing the lady's demeanor, several people became intimidated and stepped aside.
Honglian rushed out of the yard and knelt in front of Su Qingyu, "Please help me, Madam Shen."
Su Qingyu sighed inwardly. Why do men always use women as targets when they speak out? If you have the guts, go to the training grounds and fight. Whoever survives will be the winner.
Of course, Su Qingyu just felt a little emotional in her heart, but she didn't feel any sympathy.
Honglian was the prince's subordinate, and judging by the prince's stance, he intended to use her to deal with Song Hongshen. Therefore, no matter how much suffering she endured in Rongyi, it was all her own fault.
Su Qingyu squatted down and helped Honglian straighten her messy clothes.
All the places that should be covered were covered, but the shocking scars were exposed.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming this way. Let's wait for a moment."
A moment later, the prince, Shen Zhixiu and others came over.
Su Qingyu helped Honglian up and walked in front of everyone.
She stepped forward and reported, "Your Highness, Third Master, I haven't asked what happened yet. When I arrived here, Miss Honglian was being stopped by Prince Rong's guards."
"I have already sent someone to get a cloak and a change of clothes. Your Highness, would you like to ask questions first, or should I take someone to wash up first?"
The prince was also confused at this time, not knowing why this happened, and subconsciously asked: "Honglian, what is going on?"
In fact, what he wanted to ask was how Honglian came to Rongyi.
Honglian, however, was filled with grievances. She knelt on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please help me. Prince Rong...he doesn't treat people as human beings. He is just...a beast."
Even though Honglian learned the skill of serving others, Rong Yi's behavior still frightened her to the extreme.
The prince asked in a deep voice, "Tell me in detail, what did Rong Yi do?"
Honglian's expression froze. What should she say in front of so many people?
But she couldn't keep quiet, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "Prince Rong made me kneel, and not only did he whip me, he also..."
Before Honglian could finish her words, she heard two men's voices coming from behind the crowd.
"Wait a moment."
"shut up."
The ones who spoke were Song Hongshen and Su Yuanzhou. Su Yuanzhou spoke first, "Aci, take Zhilan back with you."
Song Hongshen also meant the same thing, but since Su Yuanzhou had spoken, he couldn't say anything more.
Su Qingyu then realized that Su Shunci and Su Zhilan were still hiding behind Su Yuanzhou. She thought they were there to watch the fun, but she didn't expect to run into something like this.
Su Shunci and Su Zhilan both noticed something was wrong, and they quickly turned around and left.
Shen Zhixiu frowned and cursed his bad luck in his heart.
He then asked the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, why don't you go in and ask? We have to ask Prince Rong to come out and question him."
The prince had no idea what to do at this point and could only let Shen Zhixiu make arrangements.
Everyone entered the hall in the courtyard and sat down, and Honglian knelt in the middle of the hall.
Su Qingyu didn't want to hear these dirty things, but since it involved female relatives, she had no choice but to follow in.
Zhenzhu quickly came in with a change of clothes and a cloak. Su Qingyu gestured to Zhenzhu to put the cloak on Honglian, and that the clothes could only be changed later.
When Zhenzhu helped Honglian put the cloak on, Honglian looked at Su Qingyu with gratitude. In this room, only Mrs. Shen San was willing to maintain her dignity.
Afterwards, Honglian knelt on the ground and briefly explained what had happened. With just a few words, everyone understood what had happened.
Song Hongshen didn't expect that Prince Rong had such a habit in bed.
The prince glanced at Song Hongshen, then asked Honglian, "Why did you go to Rong Shizi's place?"
Song Hongshen leaned back in his chair calmly and looked at Honglian. "Yes, Miss, tell me, why did you go to Rong Shizi's place?"
Honglian was stunned. What should she say? If she told the truth, it would inevitably implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
In fact, the prince's original intention was to let Honglian implicate Song Hongshen in this matter, but putting aside his previous calculations against Song Hongshen.
But Honglian had just experienced all that, so how could she understand what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant?
Especially when meeting Song Hongshen's eyes that concealed a dark light, Honglian had no intention of resisting him.
"I walked into the wrong courtyard and accidentally entered Master Rong's house."
