People who went to the streets to look for the truth couldn't find any clues.
In order to save time, the people who went out were divided into three groups.
One way went to the street that Su Liyue mentioned, one way went to Jufu Restaurant, and the other way went to look for the child that Su Liyue mentioned.
But, nothing was gained.
No one on that street had ever heard of children being chased to collect debts.
The owner of Jufu Restaurant also said that he had never heard of any food being lost, and would not ask anyone to chase a child. He even questioned how a four-year-old child could steal food from the kitchen of Jufu Restaurant.
After all, Jufu Restaurant is a high-end restaurant in Beijing.
As a result, the person who went to inquire had to turn back.
Those who went looking for the child, of course, were unable to find him.
After listening to his subordinates' report, Lord Chu's expression turned ugly, and his eyes looking towards the inner hall became more profound.
Could it be that he was wrong?
Is what Princess Zhan said really all fiction?
Thinking of this, Lord Chu's expression became somewhat solemn.
"Ah——" At this moment, Su Jingchu suddenly exclaimed.
Hearing the sound, everyone's eyes were all on her.
When Su Jingchu saw everyone looking at her, she looked panicked and then shook her head, "I... I'm fine..."
Although he said this, Su Jingchu frowned, looked conflicted, and looked like he wanted to say something but didn't.
Su Jingchu's appearance made the prince, who had already been suspicious after hearing the reports from those who responded, even more irritated. He shouted angrily, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating so much? Do you still have the nerve to act like a princess?"
These words were meant as a reprimand, without any mercy.
Su Jingchu's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect to be scolded.
It's just that... Su Jingchu clenched her hands slightly, then quietly loosened them, took a deep breath, and sighed, "It's nothing, it's just that I was thinking that if everything Sister said just now was a lie, then Sister... I don't mean to doubt Sister, but Sister... after all, she still has a knife in her hand..."
Su Jingchu's voice became smaller and smaller, but he still expressed everything he wanted to say.
As she expected, the prince's face became increasingly worse after hearing her words.
Seeing this, Su Jingchu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips slightly.
Today, she will definitely not let Su Liyue turn over.
After all, the Su family has her as a legitimate daughter and a princess, which is enough.
It would have been fine if Su Liyue had stayed in the nunnery, but now that she has returned, she should be prepared to be trampled into the mud by her.
Su Jingchu thought so and raised her chin slightly proudly.
However, when his gaze met the Grand Princess's heavy eyes, he paused slightly, and the slightly smug expression on his face froze.
At this time, the prince had already slammed the table in anger.
However, the prince was stopped.
The one who stopped him was not someone else, but Fu Feng who appeared out of nowhere.
The prince was stopped and was about to make trouble, but Ye Cangming spoke up, "It's only half a cup of tea. I'm afraid your uncle can't come in without my permission. Why don't you sit down and rest?"
His tone was cold, just like him.
In fact, if he had not urgently needed a doctor today, he would not be here.
Because his father sent a message saying that as long as he was willing to come to Jingzhao Prefecture to protect Su Liyue, he would send the imperial physician to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
"Prince Zhan, are you really going to make things difficult for me today?" The prince was furious.
The prince couldn't remain calm when he thought about what Su Liyue might do to Huian.
Without thinking, he attacked Fufeng.
For a moment, the two of them started fighting in the court.
However, the prince of the clan was attacking and Fufeng was defending, and the situation was extremely tense.
Just then, two people came to the door.
"Sir, the doctor is here—"
The bailiff came hurriedly with an old doctor.
Many people know this old doctor, Dr. Wu, the attending physician at Lingzhi Hall in Beijing.
Doctor Wu is a very kind-hearted and benevolent person, and has a very good reputation.
Seeing Doctor Wu coming, although he was also skeptical about Su Liyue, Lord Chu always kept his promises. Thinking of the half-cup of tea appointment, he said, "Let's ask Doctor Wu to go in and take a look before making a final conclusion."
That's the worst possible outcome.
The prince didn't really want to be mean to Su Liyue, he just wanted to know if Huian was okay.
When he heard that a doctor was coming, he naturally did not want to continue to tangle with Fu Feng, so he quickly withdrew his momentum and hurriedly said to Doctor Wu, "Go in and see if the person is still alive."
Upon hearing this, Doctor Wu didn't care about etiquette and hurried into the inner hall.
In the inner hall, behind the gauze curtain, Su Liyue fed Huian some medicinal juice she made, and then applied the medicinal herbs she prepared on several major acupuncture points on Huian's body.
Su Liyue had to be quick but steady in all her movements. After all, she only had half a cup of tea, so Su Liyue was already sweating profusely from exhaustion.
She also heard all the noises outside the hall.
When Su Liyue learned that the people sent by Lord Chu failed to find Xiaotuanzi, she felt an inexplicable sense of unease in her heart.
But the situation was urgent at the moment and she had no time to think more.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Su Liyue took out a knife and cut all ten of Huian's fingers.
At first, no blood flowed out.
After a while, blood slowly flowed out and soon gathered into a pool.
This was the scene that Doctor Wu saw when he came in. He was stunned for a moment.
