At the same time.
The Office of the Minister of Personnel.
After Zhu Qiongyao came back, her mental state has been poor. She often cries alone in her room. Such a big reaction was naturally noticed.
The Minister of Personnel was named Zhu Yuntian. He was eight feet tall and exuded the majesty of a superior, except that he was a little thin.
"Qiong Yao, tell your father honestly, who bullied you?"
Faced with Zhu Yuntian's caring inquiries, Zhu Qiongyao felt more and more aggrieved, and tears kept flowing out of her eyes.
After she came back, she didn't dare to tell anyone what happened at Baixiang Tower that day, nor did she dare to tell her family.
Seeing that Qiong Yao didn't say anything, Zhu Yuntian turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman beside him who had a worried look on her face, sighed, turned around and left the room.
If there is, it would not sound good for him as a grown man, so it would be more appropriate to let the mother and daughter talk about it.
The middle-aged woman walked up to Zhu Qiongyao and asked her about her well-being. After some indirect questioning, she finally dug out the secrets of Baixianglou.
Zhu Qiongyao was already lying in the arms of the middle-aged woman, crying inconsolably and heart-wrenchingly.
After returning from Baixianglou, Zhu Qiongyao felt that her life was increasingly bleak. She wanted to hang herself with a white silk thread several times, but in the end she did not have the courage.
But if things continue like this, sooner or later her willpower will give out.
Suicide is just a matter of time.
What hurt Zhu Qiongyao the most was Li Chengqian's waste.
If it was a man who was slightly more capable, she could bear with it and marry him, but who was Li Chengqian?
He just does fun all day long and has so many women around him. How could she be willing to marry such a man?
now.
The middle-aged woman holding Zhu Qiongyao had a face full of anger, her fists clenched, and her whole body was shaking.
Zhu Qiongyao is his only daughter, so she has been spoiled like a treasure since she was a child.
Now, Zhu Qiongyao has been defiled. How could he tolerate such a thing?
"Mom, what should I do?"
Zhu Qiongyao raised her head, her eyes were red and swollen, tears welled up in her eyes, and she asked in a crying voice.
The middle-aged woman took a deep breath, forced a smile, stroked Zhu Qiongyao's head and said, "Don't worry, Yao'er, your parents will definitely make the decision for you."
"The Fifth Prince, Li Chengqian, has no foundation in the court and often leaves the palace for fun. It would be too easy to kill him."
They have their own death squads in the Shangshu Mansion. As long as they kill Li Chengqian, no one will know that Zhu Qiongyao has lost her innocence.
After comforting Zhu Qiongyao for a while until she fell asleep peacefully, the middle-aged woman walked out of the room and told Zhu Yuntian everything she knew.
After hearing this, Zhu Yuntian also became furious. He hadn't been angry for a long time, but today he started throwing the quilt directly.
"Damn it! How dare he!"
Zhu Yuntian's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he couldn't help but slam the table and roar.
Zhu Qiongyao was his only woman, whom he had taken care of since childhood. But now she was defiled by a loser. How could he accept this?
Damn thing!
But soon, Zhu Yuntian calmed down.
There are two possibilities for this matter. Either someone framed Li Chengqian, because although the fifth prince was dissolute, he knew the rules and would not do anything excessive.
There is another possibility that this was done by Li Chengqian.
This useless Fifth Prince often goes out to seek pleasure. His daughter Qiong Yao is also a famous beauty in the capital. It is possible that Li Chengqian has lost his mind.
If it is the former, then it is most likely not to frame Li Chengqian, but to target him.
But there are few things like this that can be made into a fuss. Even if Zhu Qiongyao's reputation is ruined, it will not really shake his position as a minister in the court. At most, it will just disgust him.
So in Zhu Yuntian's opinion, the latter is more likely, that is, Li Chengqian drugged Zhu Qiongyao himself and then did something shameful to her.
Zhu Yuntian's eyes were extremely gloomy. "No matter what the reason is, Li Chengqian cannot be touched. He is a prince after all. If someone catches him, it will be disastrous."
These days, the disputes among the princes have become increasingly intense.
Things weren’t so peaceful after that.
If what he did were to be spread out, his entire Shangshu Mansion would be executed.
This may also be one of the purposes of those who framed Li Chengqian, which was to provoke him to take action.
Of course, the premise is that someone really framed him.
But he also had to be on guard.
The middle-aged woman heard this and said unwillingly, "Master, what about Qiong Yao?"
Zhu Yuntian shook his head and sighed: "Li Chengqian just can't be killed now. He is a useless prince with no roots and no friends. We will have a chance sooner or later."
The middle-aged woman still didn't give up: "But what if he tells others about this?"
Zhu Yuntian immediately shook his head and said grimly, "Don't worry, he won't dare. If he tells anyone, he'll be courting death!"
In the court, his weight was obviously heavier than that of a useless fifth prince.
Once the news gets out, His Majesty will not let Li Chengqian go no matter what the reason is. As long as Li Chengqian is not a fool, he will not do such a stupid thing.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give Qiong Yao an explanation on this matter."
"Li Chengqian...I will make him pay with blood!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded.
......
The other side.
The list of participants in the martial arts tournament was also released.
"Wu Haoyun, it's actually him, the young master of Broken Sword Villa. He's a martial arts genius rarely seen in a century. I heard that at the age of 23, he's already a half-step martial arts master."
