These people were given silver and then released; they were very grateful to Su Wenyuan.
I was so surprised to receive my monthly allowance, thinking I'd never get it back.
Some of the remaining individuals began to prove their innocence, saying that they had never bullied Yuexiu and Su Wenyuan.
After Yuexiu confirmed that there was no such thing, they let him go.
The rest, more or less, all harbored some degree of grudge.
First of all, forget about getting any money; secondly, you're bound to get a beating.
The Prince Chen's mansion had never seen such a scene before. When Su Wenyuan first arrived, she didn't use violence to discipline the mansion. She just intimidated people, deducted some silver, and gave them some silver as a reward.
These people are different; how much more can you deduct from their allowance?
Yuexiu had suffered a great deal of injustice, and she needed to be beaten up to vent her anger.
For the entire morning, the mansion was filled with the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.
Sheng Jingyu had just returned when he was startled by the scene. A crowd had gathered outside the mansion, trying to peek inside.
After they were beaten, they were all chased out. Su Wenyuan also said that they could make up whatever they wanted after they left, just don't let her hear it, or they would be beaten again.
"Your Highness, they've all run away without saying a word. Should we send someone to keep an eye on them?"
Su Wenyuan said, "No need, they wouldn't dare to say."
Looking at the messy front yard, Sheng Jingyu asked in confusion, "What happened here?"
"To vent my anger, they weren't satisfied with just giving them money; they wanted to stay and be taught a lesson. How's it going on your end? Have you found Su Yuan and Su Xian?"
Su Wenyuan knew they wouldn't survive, but she still needed to know where the people had been taken.
Was it done by Nian Huaizhong and others? What is their ultimate goal? Are there any further actions planned?
The Emperor must already know of their existence, but he doesn't know their background. He hasn't had time to deal with it yet. Once he does, a thorough investigation will reveal that they might not be able to withstand scrutiny.
Su Wenyuan was worried and wanted to talk to them, so she sent someone to the shop to find the manager and Nian Huaizhong, but they were not there.
It seemed they were deliberately avoiding Su Wenyuan, and Su Wenyuan didn't know what to do with them.
They're right here, we can't just arrest them, can we? If we do, things will get out of control, and Su Wenyuan felt bad for them.
If they are not arrested, they may cause trouble, and if they cause big trouble, they will be targeted by the emperor and will not have a good ending either.
It's not easy to have survived this long; I hope nothing goes wrong.
She was worried about the safety of those people, but Sheng Jingyu was different; he was afraid they would disrupt the capital.
The shop assistants from several stores have been investigated thoroughly, and it has nothing to do with Marquis Anle.
All those involved are hiding behind the scenes. Arrest the people in the public eye, interrogate them, and perhaps we can find the person behind it all.
But once this method is used for investigation, there is no room for maneuver.
Sheng Jingyu also felt it was unlikely, so he went to the capital's government office and the Ministry of Justice to inquire about it today.
Finally, he also went to the homes of several ministers to gather information.
I wanted to see if anyone noticed that something was amiss in the capital.
They didn't notice the problems in the capital, but everyone sensed the Emperor's unusual behavior.
"As for Su Yuan, the government office hasn't found a single clue. Since Father doesn't care, they haven't paid much attention either. I guess they won't even bother investigating it once no one else is paying attention to it anymore!"
Without victims, how can the case be investigated?
Su Wenyuan thought for a moment and said, "If we don't want to investigate, then we don't. We won't find anything anyway, it's a waste of time."
"Um... there's something else I wanted to say." Sheng Jingyu hesitated, unsure how to begin.
Su Wenyuan asked in surprise, "You're not planning to take a concubine, are you?"
“…Nonsense!” Sheng Jingyu rolled her eyes at her.
Let's get down to business. Where did she go?
Su Wenyuan looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Am I talking nonsense? The number of people who come to knock on the door of Prince Chen's mansion every day is almost countless, and you're looking at me with such a conflicted expression."
"What I'm trying to say is! If they really do something, you need to be prepared, at least not to get involved. It's not worth risking your life," Sheng Jingyu solemnly reminded him.
“I know,” Su Wenyuan replied calmly.
Sheng Jingyu felt that she hadn't heard a word she said, so she reached out and grabbed her arm, without saying a word, just staring straight at her.
Su Wenyuan helplessly comforted him, "I'm not stupid, I haven't lived enough yet!"
They do value their lives, which is a good quality in this respect.
While they were figuring out how to save their lives, Su Yuan and Su Xian were still waiting for someone to come and rescue them.
Su Wenyuan was worried that Su Yuan's death was too quick, but now she doesn't need to worry anymore; it's impossible for him to die.
There were skilled doctors who stayed by their side day and night, even taking shifts, and would quickly treat them if their condition worsened.
This scene is so similar to the one in which Wang was tortured back then.
Su Wenyuan had kept her alive in the same way, and now it was Su Yuan's turn.
Su Yuan's partially crippled body saved them a lot of trouble; they didn't have to worry about him escaping, and even if they worked themselves to death, he wouldn't be able to get out of this dungeon.
His body was covered in blood, with wounds and needle marks all over.
His hands and feet were also broken. Although he wasn't beaten into a pulp like Wang, the pain was no less intense.
What follows is a long period of imprisonment.
Su Xian kept crying. He would wail for half a day if he was hit even once since he was a child. This time it was almost like being slowly sliced to death. He was in so much pain that he couldn't even cry out, but the tears never stopped.
"Father, can we... still go out?" Su Xian's voice was hoarse, and you could hardly hear him if you didn't listen carefully.
Su Yuan said, "It's possible. The Emperor will definitely issue an order for the Ministry of Justice or the prefectural government in the capital to search carefully. This place is not far from the capital, so we should be able to find it."
"Fine! Once we get out of here, I'm going to kill them all!" Su Xian gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred.
