Chu Weiyue was so angry that his eyes felt dizzy, and he kicked the guard at the gate hard.
"What do you mean by that? You are putting us under house arrest in disguise, right? What crime have I committed? Why are you locking me up? I am the princess of Wen Jingchi."
Chu Weiyue tried to use his status to suppress him, but the guard was unmoved and just bowed respectfully to Chu Weiyue.
"Miss, please don't be impatient for a while. This is an order from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You are all members of the Marquis' Mansion. If something happens in the Marquis' Mansion, no one can escape the blame. Please go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to argue."
Upon hearing this, Chu Weiyue's heart sank completely.
That bastard Wen Chenxuan is impossible to reach agreement with, let alone reason with him.
All of this was the setup by him. There would be no way he would let them out. He was hoping that they would be killed at any moment.
After cursing a few words, I could only go back angrily. When I arrived at the yard, I found that my grandmother was yelling at my father.
My father lowered his head, looking like a dog that had lost its home.
Chu Weiyue couldn't help but walk over to join in the fun.
The old lady was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick, looking like a black-eyed chicken. She pointed at the marquis' nose and cursed him angrily.
He raised his hand and slapped him hard on the head.
"You little bastard, you think you can do whatever you want now that you have grown up and become a father, right? You will always be a little brat to me. I have told you to think carefully before you become an official, and you must be very careful and never let power go to your head.
You are so good, you actually turned a deaf ear to my words. Do you know that our family is under house arrest now, all because of you? Reflect on yourself right now, and come to see me when you have reflected on yourself..."
Grandma was trembling all over and poking the Marquis between his eyebrows with a finger.
The Marquis was so frightened that he dared not say a word.
Chu Weiyue finally felt relieved and gave a thumbs up in her heart. A bastard father like this should be punished.
If he hadn't been greedy for money, their family wouldn't have ended up like this, and he might even have been beheaded.
If their family is implicated, let alone growing old together with Wen Jingchi, I'd be thankful that my head isn't chopped off like a watermelon egg!
The situation is very serious now, which makes Chu Weiyue fall into inexplicable worry and unable to sleep for a long time at night.
Several guards were afraid that there might be unusual activity in the mansion, so they patrolled here on purpose, and the patrolmen quickly walked around again.
Chu Weiyue could no longer vent the resentment in her heart. Wen Chenxuan, this bastard, was actually afraid that they couldn't go out, so he secretly planted so many spies inside. It was really abominable to the extreme.
If I had the chance, I would stab him to pieces with a knife!
After scolding Wen Chenxuan a few words and preparing to go to bed, there was a knock on the door. It was a well-dressed guard.
Seeing that there was no one around, he immediately sent a letter to Chu Weiyue.
"My lady, this is the letter the prince asked me to give you. To make a long story short, if you want to reply after reading it, just put the letter under the flowerpot and I will take it away."
There was a commotion outside at this moment, so he didn't dare to say any more nonsense. He went straight to Chu Weiyue's yard and pretended to inspect it.
Chu Weiyue lit the light again and opened the letter impatiently. When he saw the contents, a hint of excitement and laughter appeared at the corners of his lips.
After reading the letter, Chu Weiyue finally felt relieved.
Wen Jingchi told her in the letter, asking her not to worry, that he was trying to find a way to clear the Marquis's house of the injustice and distance themselves from those pretending to be people from the Western Regions.
As long as he can distance himself from the matter and prove that the Marquis was also deceived, he will naturally not be held accountable.
He also wrote many caring words in the letter and gave Chu Weiyue some small gifts.
Looking at the beautiful pearl earrings, Chu Weiyue put them directly on her ears and lay down to sleep.
I couldn't sleep at first, but with the reassurance given by Wen Jingchi, I slept until noon the next day, and my stomach was growling with hunger.
I just arrived at the restaurant and was about to eat something when I heard a noise.
Grandma actually started scolding father again. This time her scolding was even more unpleasant than yesterday, and she even turned into a loud swearing. The Marquis could only listen patiently and did not dare to refute a word.
Looking at his father's cowardly look, Chu Weiyue snorted with disdain. This is called bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
After scolding for a long time, the Marquis left tremblingly.
Chu Weiyue didn't take it to heart. She immediately ran to her grandmother and praised her a few words. Only then did her grandmother's anger subside.
On the other side, the Marquis went to find Chu Ranxin, his face looked quite gloomy.
Chu Ranxin has not been having a good time these days, as he is very worried about things at home.
Seeing her father coming, she immediately ran over and asked, "Dad, what's going on? Is there any progress on that matter?"
Upon hearing this, the Marquis could not help but snort: "You still mentioned the turning point to me, it's all because of that prince, he is simply not a human being, he actually used such a trick to cut off my support, and he is still so serious."
If he didn’t know what Wen Chenxuan meant now, then he would be a huge idiot.
But now, for the sake of the Marquis's Mansion, he had to do some things and could only sigh deeply.
"But these are all things to be discussed later. Now we can only save the Marquis' Mansion first and talk about the future. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is engaged to you, you must have a different meaning to him. Besides, our family was only wrongly accused of some unfounded crimes, and the Emperor cannot convict us in a short time.
You might as well go and ask the Crown Prince for help. As long as the Crown Prince intercedes for us, and the Ninth Prince helps, our family will surely be able to survive this crisis safely."
Chu Ranxin's eyes were dark and shiny, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.
"Don't worry, Daddy. With the prince's love for me, he will definitely show some mercy."
The Marquis took Chu Ranxin's hand and patted it affectionately: "Daddy is relieved when you say that. Fortunately, Daddy's love for you is not in vain. In Dad's heart, you will always be the ultimate use, much better than your sister..."
As the head of the family, he knew some things. He knew Chu Ranxin's character very well. The two sisters were always competing with each other, afraid that one would outshine the other.
Hearing such compliments, Chu Ranxin almost laughed out of excitement, and was extremely proud.
After the Marquis gave some instructions, Chu Ranxin dressed up beautifully and sprinkled a lot of powder on her body, just like she was going to a beauty pageant.
I came outside and explained the situation to them, but these people did not stop me. After all, Chu Ranxin was about to become Wen Chenxuan's concubine, and her identity was different.
They took Chu Ranxin to the Prince's Mansion.
Walking on the road, Chu Ranxin clenched his fingers, frowned, and thought about what to do about this matter.
Although she wanted to preserve the Marquis' Mansion, if the Marquis' Mansion was safe, Chu Weiyue would also be safe.
