"Heh! Fei Yanggu, do you think I'm a fool?" the Crown Prince sneered.
Just now, Rouze threatened Ping'er right in front of him.
"Your name is Ping'er, right?" the Crown Prince asked, looking at Ping'er.
“Your Highness, I am Ping’er!” Ping’er said, bowing her head.
"If you tell the truth, I can guarantee the safety of your entire family!"
Ping'er's eyes lit up when she heard the Crown Prince's words, then she lowered her head again.
"It seems my words are not as good as your daughter's!" the Crown Prince said, looking at Fei Yanggu.
“Your Highness is joking!” Fei Yanggu and his family of three immediately knelt down.
Fei Yanggu said to Ping'er, "Ping'er, just say what you have to say. With the Crown Prince standing up for you, what are you afraid of!"
"Tell the truth, and I can guarantee the safety of your whole family. But if you don't tell the truth, I can also show you what I'm capable of!" the Crown Prince said calmly.
"What are you still hesitating for! Hurry up and tell His Highness the truth!" He Zhu said to Ping'er with a look of exasperation.
Ping'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. It was all my fault! I will accept whatever punishment Your Highness may give me!"
After hearing Ping'er's words, Lady Ulanara finally felt relieved.
"You wretched girl! How could you do such a thing! This mansion can no longer tolerate you!" Lady Ulanara said to Ping'er with a pained expression.
Then she said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, it was my oversight. I never expected Ping'er to do such a thing. Fortunately, she did nothing to affect Xue Gege's reputation, otherwise I would be truly to blame."
"Ping'er will be left to His Highness the Crown Prince's disposal; our household will have absolutely no complaints!"
Before the Crown Prince could speak, Rouze pitifully said from the side, "It's all my fault for not disciplining her properly. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"
"Hehe! Hehe! Feiyanggu, they're making a fool of me!" The Crown Prince was speechless at the words of Lady Ulanara and her daughter.
"Your Highness, this servant dares not!" Fei Yanggu really wanted to shut Lady Ulanara up at this moment.
"Dare not? I think you dare quite a bit!" The Crown Prince suddenly raised his voice.
"Your Highness..." Lady Ulanara was about to speak.
"Shut up! Your Highness, my wife was ignorant, please forgive her!" Fei Yanggu immediately apologized to the Crown Prince!
"Feiyanggu, Ping'er, you are a servant in this household. Today, I am buying Ping'er and her entire family from you!" The Crown Prince turned to He Zhu: "He Zhu, hand over the silver!"
He Zhu took out a silver note from his pocket, fifty taels, which seemed a bit too much. He then reached into his pocket and found some loose silver.
The Crown Prince Lian Hezhu's dawdling and stingy manner was truly shameful. "Hurry up!"
He Zhu reluctantly placed the fifty-tael silver note on the table.
"Your Highness, this is unacceptable!"
"No need for nonsense, I will not take it by force!" the Crown Prince said, then looked at Ping'er, "Ping'er, I am your master now, you can tell the truth! The lives of your whole family are in my hands!"
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's words, Ping'er immediately kowtowed to express her deep gratitude, "This servant thanks Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
She knew that even if she didn't reveal Rouze's identity today, Lady Ulanara probably wouldn't treat her family well in the future.
“This servant will tell you now! It was all at the behest of the princess! The princess holds a grudge against He Xue Gege and wants to smear her, so she did this!” Ping’er said to the crown prince.
“Ping’er, I’ve treated you well! Why do you slander me like this?” Rouze looked at Ping’er and asked with heartache.
"Princess, have you really treated me well? You appear gentle and virtuous in front of outsiders, but when you return to the manor, you beat and scold the servants at the slightest displeasure!"
Today, not only are you going to push me out to take the blame, but you are also going to threaten me with my whole family!
"I have always been devoted to you and loyal to you, but I never expected to end up like this!" Ping'er was truly disappointed in Rouze.
She had served Rouze since she was a child. Although she didn't expect Rouze to treat her well, Rouze had really hurt her today.
She had intended to take the blame for Rouze, but Lady Ulanara shouldn't have threatened her with her family, and Rouze didn't say a word, which is why she told the Crown Prince the truth.
"Feiyanggu, what else do you have to say now? You don't believe me? But you should believe what the people around your daughter say, right?"
"Slap!" Fei Yanggu raised his hand and slapped Rouze across the face. "You wicked girl!"
Rou covered her face and cried silently.
Lady Ulanara looked at Fei Yanggu's gloomy face and dared not say a word. She could only hold Rouze, who had been beaten, and comfort her in a low voice.
