Chu Weiyue gently pointed to a small mound of earth not far away, on which there was only a small wooden sign!

The implication is that this will be the treatment she will receive after she dies!

Song's face turned dark and she was so angry that she almost fell over on the spot. She wanted to raise her hand and slap Chu Weiyue hard a few times.

But in front of Chu Lingfeng, she finally endured it, but her face turned black and white, and she was so aggrieved that she wanted to tear Chu Weiyue apart.

Chu Ranxin couldn't stand Chu Weiyue's arrogance and immediately couldn't bear it anymore.

"Chu Weiyue, you're going too far. After all, my mother is an elder. How can you curse her to death? Do you take my father seriously?"

Her words were harsh, and she rushed towards Chu Weiyue aggressively, as if she was planning to have a fight right away.

Chu Weiyue snorted disdainfully: "I just don't have you, so what? Don't think I didn't hear you. Even if I renovate my mother's tomb into a palace, I won't let the money fall into the hands of others."

The implication couldn't be more obvious.

"Chu Weiyue, you are too selfish! Your mother is gone, what's the point of spending so much money to repair the tomb? Even if you use part of the money to repair it to supplement the family expenses, it is reasonable. Your mother will not blame you. Why do you have to..."

Bang!

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud slap hit Chu Ranxin hard in the face.

"I'm warning you, speak respectfully in front of my mother. If you dare to yell again, I will slap you!"

Chu Weiyue raised her hand angrily, trying to slap her again.

Since all the family members were present and there were many craftsmen watching, Chu Ranxin's face was completely shattered.

His eyes were red and he was gritting his teeth in hatred.

"Chu Weiyue, you actually dare to hit me..." Her body was shaking slightly because of her intense anger.

"Why are you so proud here? Why are you pretending to be a chaste and filial daughter? If you really cared about your mother, you wouldn't do such a thing as clinging to a man. Everyone knows that you are pursuing Wen Jingchi. You even went out with him last night. I don't know how many times you have had private meetings with him before. Do you dare to say that nothing happened between you?"

She said the last sentence very loudly, wishing that everyone present could hear that Chu Weiyue was a fickle person.

As a result, even Wen Jingchi was dragged into the water.

Chu Weiyue clicked her tongue a few times: "Chu Ranxin, you must be responsible for what you said today!"

Now that there are so many people around, what she says is set in stone. Not only is it slandering herself, but slandering the prince is a serious crime!

As for Wen Jingchi himself, it is impossible for him to let it go.

Song was fully aware of the stakes of the matter and was so frightened that she immediately covered Chu Ranxin's mouth.

"Shut up right now! How could you, a damned girl, say such outrageous words? If this gets out, how many heads will you have left?"

"I am telling the truth, who dares..."

"Shut up!"

The Marquis, who had been silent the whole time, became angry and slapped Chu Ranxin hard in the face.

Chu Ranxin's delicate face was hit crooked, and she stared at her father in disbelief.

The father who always loved her actually slapped her for the bitch Chu Weiyue...

"You are such a useless girl, how dare you say such outrageous words? If I don't teach you a lesson, you will definitely cause a disaster in the future! From today on, you stay in your own yard and you are not allowed to take a single step out!"

"Why?" Chu Ranxin protested with tears in his eyes, but his protest was ineffective and he was dragged away by several servants.

Chu Weiyue sneered disdainfully. They were smart to punish Chu Ranxin in advance, otherwise she would have suffered the consequences.

Listening to Chu Ranxin's cursing and struggling figure, Chu Weiyue's eyes revealed a hint of joy.

At this time, rumors about the flower thief were rife in the capital.

Women in the civilian world and wives of officials were not spared; their underwear often went missing.

There are rumors that several women from poor backgrounds were raped by flower thieves while walking at night and committed suicide by jumping into a well the next day.

For a time, people in the capital were in a panic, and every family with daughters was in a state of panic.

This morning.

After the morning court session, the emperor summoned the prince to meet him.

"Your son greets you, father." The prince knelt on the ground and greeted respectfully.

He wondered what his father wanted to talk to him about.

Although his father had treated him better since his last marriage, he had not given him any position.

The emperor rubbed his temple worriedly, threw a memorial to the ground, picked it up and took a look, and the prince's face changed drastically.

"It's really abominable. This flower-stealing thief is so vicious that he specifically destroys the reputation of women. His actions are truly outrageous to both humans and gods!"

After starting a performance in front of the emperor, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for orders.

"Father, why don't you let me investigate this matter thoroughly? I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation and leave that flower-stealing thief no way to escape!"

The fact that the emperor allowed him to come and gave him the memorial to read was obvious.

Therefore, the prince's request happened to be exactly what the emperor wanted, so he handed the matter over to him for investigation.

After returning to his bedroom, the prince asked his men to collect the current information.

In less than an hour, his men placed all the information in front of him.

After picking it up and studying it carefully, the prince fell into deep thought.

"The flower thieves usually act at night. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, you must immediately give orders that the women must return home before sunset. Anyone who disobeys will be thrown into jail immediately!"

As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the public, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also accused of discriminating against women.

But he still did not care and sent many soldiers to guard the streets and alleys. If any girl dared to run away, she would be persuaded to return at the very least, or thrown into jail at the worst.

In order to set a good example, the prince personally put on armor and walked around places where dignitaries gathered.

He claimed that he was following the emperor's orders and catching the flower thief, but in reality he just wanted to show these officials how efficient he was and gain more support from the people.

At nightfall, Chu Weiyue sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, fanning herself constantly with a fan, feeling depressed and irritable.

She also received a notice that women were not allowed to go out after sunset.

But she heard during the day that the night market on West Street in Beijing was very prosperous, with all kinds of delicious food and interesting things. She planned to go and take a look at it at night, but she received a ban on women going out.

Chu Weiyue let out a long sigh and changed into a set of light clothes. Since she was not allowed to go openly, she would go secretly.

She tied all her hair together, dressed like a man, and left quietly through the back door of the mansion.

As soon as he stuck his head out on the street, he heard a shout from behind him. He immediately ran to the side and bumped into a wall of flesh.
