Chapter 1100 Do You Want to Die for Him?
Mrs. Cheng was so frightened that she sobered up a lot.
As Xiao Lanyuan stepped in, Lu Guo's legs almost went weak.
"Your Majesty!"
Shouldn't Prince Jun be on Youqing Peak at this time? Why is he here?
Madam Cheng and Luguo were not quite sure why the townspeople were bribed to go up the mountain to cause trouble, but they knew that Jiali must have done something.
They both felt that Jia Li was just trying to do something to ruin Fu Zhaoning's reputation in the town, so that she would be looked down upon by those around her after she came down the mountain. Then Xiao Lanyuan would know that this princess was not really suitable for him.
They were able to vent some of their anger and no longer feel so aggrieved.
But if they only did such a small thing, it wouldn't be necessary for Xiao Lanyuan to rush down from the mountain and come here to settle the score with them, right?
Madam Cheng felt a little sad at first, thinking that Xiao Lanyuan was going to make such a big fuss just for such a small matter. It was really a bit too much for a woman.
Does he really not care at all about the care she gave him when he was a child?
"A Yuan——"
She shouted this subconsciously, but Xiao Lanyuan looked at her. Although she didn't see the expression on his face, Madam Cheng could already sense his displeasure, so she immediately changed her words.
"Your Highness, this is Jia Li, Master Jia, he didn't do anything—"
"He didn't do anything? Madam Cheng wants to plead for him now?"
When Madam Cheng heard Xiao Lanyuan calling her Madam Cheng, her heart suddenly sank and she felt a little panicked.
She could have stopped calling him by his name, but at least he still called her Aunt Cheng. Why did he call her so awkwardly now?
"No, I'm not trying to plead for him, but the prince is not the kind of person who would vent his anger easily, and I just don't want the prince to change his temperament."
"Madam Cheng, you said that, which only shows that you don't understand me at all. I am narrow-minded. Even if he didn't do anything too bad today, as long as I don't like him, I can still beat him to a pulp."
Xiao Lanyuan's words made Madam Cheng's heart sink again.
Qing Yi had ordered his men to arrest Jia Li. Jia Li wanted to struggle, but Xiao Lanyuan slapped him with his palm, causing Jia Li to spit out blood. He was immediately pinned down by the guards and could no longer move.
Jia Li felt as cold as if he had been dipped in ice water, for he discovered that his internal energy was rapidly draining away.
Prince Jun actually destroyed his martial arts with just one move!
Did he know something?
He was escorted by the palace guards, and even his head was pressed down, feeling extremely humiliated.
"Prince Jun, aren't you going too far? The emperor and the prince are not so arrogant. Why do you oppress innocent people for no reason?"
Jiali shouted with suppressed hatred.
"The Emperor and the Crown Prince are not here, so stop trying to sow discord."
Xiao Lanyuan disagreed. Even if the emperor and the prince were here, there would be no need for Jia Li to sow discord between them. The relationship between them had already been tense.
"As for you, innocent? Do you think I can't find anything?"
"I don't know what the prince is talking about! Is it because of my sincerity towards Madam Cheng? I heard that the prince had a good relationship with the late Chen Manor Master, so does Prince Jun have to keep an eye on Madam Cheng? Not allowing any man to appear around her?"
Madam Cheng looked at him, then at Xiao Lanyuan and blushed.
Is that so? Could it be that Prince Jun really took Jia Li down for this reason?
Because Prince Jun felt that she should stay with her husband?
But Xiao Lanyuan's next words immediately shattered her fantasy.
"This king is not idle enough to care about so many things."
"Your Highness, there is nothing going on between me and Mr. Jia," said Madam Cheng.
"It's your freedom to say anything. Madam Cheng, for the sake of Uncle Manor Master, this is the last time I will give in. I won't hold you accountable, but whether you can defend Chengyun Manor from now on is up to you. Also, watch your mouth."
Xiao Lanyuan made a gesture and the guards immediately carried Jia Li out.
"Madam, save me!" Jia Li shouted immediately. Why should he save face at this time? He had a premonition that if he really let Prince Jun take him away like this, he would die.
He had been coaxing Madam Cheng for the past two years, and it was effective. Madam Cheng was almost ready to accept him, especially this time, the temple master did not stand on her side, which made her feel that she really had no hope on the temple master's side. Maybe it would be good to follow Jia Li.
If Xiao Lanyuan hadn't come, Mrs. Cheng might have rolled into the same bed with Jia Li tonight.
Now hearing Jiali's screams, she felt so distressed that she quickly stood up to stop him.
"Your Majesty, what did he do wrong? Just let him go, and I will apologize to you on his behalf."
Xiao Lanyuan looked at her, "He committed a capital crime. I want his life. Do you want to die for him?"
What he said was extremely cold, as if if Mrs. Cheng dared to say yes, he would kill her without mercy.
Mrs. Cheng was startled.
She was speechless and watched Xiao Lanyuan take the person away.
There were two young men in the front yard who saw Prince Jun leading his men into the backyard, and soon brought Jia Li out. The two men looked at each other.
They didn't dare to go up and talk to Prince Jun. They thought Prince Jun didn't see them either. But unexpectedly, Prince Jun stopped and looked at them.
"Are you the nephew of Master Chen?"
"Your Highness, yes." The two young men hurriedly saluted. In the past, they didn't dare to argue about anything in the villa because they knew that Prince Jun was behind Madam Cheng.
Even if they felt that Mrs. Cheng had done something wrong, they did not dare to interfere.
"The villa will still rely more on you in the future. Don't let your uncle's hard work go to waste." After saying this, Xiao Lanyuan left.
The two young men looked at each other.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?" one of them asked.
"Brother, is the prince telling us that he will no longer protect Auntie?"
"Is that what you mean?"
"I think so. Otherwise, why would he say that the villa depends on us?"
The two young men's eyes became determined.
If this is true, that would be great. They have long felt that their aunt does not have the ability to manage the villa well, and they also think that there is something wrong with Mr. Jia. If the villa is still left to their aunt to manage, who knows what it will end up in the hands of some man in the future!
After that, they will seize power in the villa.
Afterwards, Chengyun Villa really fell into the hands of the two brothers. Madam Cheng could only get a small courtyard. Her life became much more difficult than before. No one listened to her anymore. People in the town looked at her with strange and reproachful eyes. Later, she was unwilling to go out again.
That’s a matter for later.
