"Prince, your words are too one-sided. This is the first time I have heard such a ridiculous statement!"

Since Chu Lingfeng had military merits, he naturally didn't need to be overly polite to Wen Chenxuan.

He took a step forward, knelt on the ground and argued: "Your Majesty, my father and I are loyal to the court. If you really want to make a fortune by trafficking children, you don't have to fight bloody battles at the border and risk your life for glory! I hope your Majesty will be able to see clearly and punish the treacherous villains who are trying to sow discord."

"In my humble opinion, it is very likely that someone is crying thief, and there is an even bigger backer behind the steward!"

Chu Lingfeng's words dragged Wen Chenxuan into the water as well.

"Chu Lingfeng, you are really good at making up stories!" He shouted angrily.

"Am I just making up my own story, or are there some people desperate enough to find someone to blame in order to clear themselves of suspicion, or are they trying to take advantage of the situation to vengeance against Wen Jingchi? Otherwise, with so many titles of marquis, why did Wen Chenxuan target our family without any solid evidence?"

Chu Lingfeng's words were harsh, completely confirming that Wen Chenxuan was petty.

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists angrily and tried to continue arguing with him.

"That's enough, shut up!"

The emperor slammed the table in anger and said, "There is no evidence at all. How can you two slander each other? Wen Chenxuan, as a prince, you should set a good example. How can you be so narrow-minded?"

From Chu Lingfeng's words just now, everyone present could understand Wen Chenxuan's pettiness.

Wen Chenxuan gritted his teeth in hatred, but still stood aside with his head down and said nothing.

After thinking carefully for a moment, the emperor gave the order.

"Since the only suspect left the word 'Hou', all people with the title 'Hou' should be suspects. In order not to let the real culprit go, all the nobles with the title 'Hou' are not allowed to step out of the capital. Those who disobey the order will be executed!"

After the court session was dismissed, the Marquis's face turned completely black.

After walking and thinking all the way, he finally pointed the finger at Chu Weiyue.

As soon as he arrived home, he went to Chu Weiyue's yard in person.

Chu Weiyue had just finished breakfast and was taking a nap comfortably in the yard.

When he noticed someone was around, he immediately glanced over and said, "Dad, do you have something to talk to me about?"

The Marquis snorted angrily, "Don't you know what you have done? Why did you pick on Wen Chenxuan when there are so many people you can pick on? Everyone knows that he is petty and you deliberately made things difficult for him. How can your brother and I gain a foothold in the court..."

He started with an impassioned reprimand, but Chu Weiyue didn't buy it at all. Instead, she held her head high in pride.

"Alright, I won't waste my words with you. Wen Chenxuan is targeting you this time because you shamed him by breaking off the engagement in public, so he is planning revenge. Go and apologize to Wen Chenxuan now, and then go to the emperor together to discuss the marriage again."

The Marquis grabbed Chu Weiyue's clothes and was about to take her there personally.

Chu Weiyue shook his hand away in dissatisfaction: "I won't go! I only have the Ninth Prince in my heart. Only a dragon among men like him is worthy of me. I don't care about that Wen Chenxuan! If I can't marry Wen Jingchi, I would rather become a nun!"

"Say it again if you dare!" The Marquis was so angry that he was shaking all over.

"I said, I won't marry Wen Chenxuan, he's not worthy of me! I only love the Ninth Prince, and I won't marry anyone else in this life!"

In order to achieve a firm effect, Chu Weiyue put his hands on his waist and said with great confidence.

These words made the Marquis so angry that he almost fainted. He raised his hand to slap her in the face, but Chu Weiyue dodged it cleverly.

"You're rebelling! You're really rebelling! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because your brother and the Ninth Prince are backing you up. From today on, you'll stay at home and reflect on your mistakes. You're not allowed to go anywhere! If things are not peaceful, how can a woman like you show up in public?"

He snorted coldly and walked away angrily.

As soon as the Marquis left, Chu Ranxin, who was there to watch the fun, came out from the side.

She looked at Chu Weiyue with a smile and said sarcastically, "Sister, you really make Dad worry too much. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first among all virtues. How come you can't even do such a small thing?"

Chu Weiyue looked her up and down and couldn't help laughing: "Are you qualified to tell me this?"

I secretly complained in my heart, [It's so embarrassing to be cheated on before I even got married! The key is that the other person is playing with me for free and doesn't want to take responsibility, how shameless...]

Chu Ranxin's eyes were filled with intense anger, and his face turned red with shame.

He wanted to argue with Chu Weiyue, but he couldn't say a word and ran away in shame.

Chu Weiyue looked depressed. This woman was really weird. She didn't say anything, but she just ran away without fighting. It was really weird!

Chu Weiyue was too lazy to pay attention to Chu Ranxin. Now the situation was tricky and she had to find out the murderer as soon as possible, otherwise their family would also be suspected.

Now that she is also a member of the Marquis' Mansion, it is naturally necessary for her to sort out everything.

There are many people in the capital who have the title of Marquis, and there are no less than ten of them besides their family.

After asking the girls around me, I wrote down the list.

Several of them are already old and have long since enjoyed their retirement years. Their descendants are no longer in the capital but are serving as officials in other places.

Excluding those who have no real power and only titles, now there are only their family, Marquis Jin'an and Marquis Changyang.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Weiyue immediately went out to look for Wen Jingchi.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she happened to meet Chu Ranxin, who arrogantly stopped Chu Weiyue and said, "Daddy told you not to go out, what are you going to do now?"

"Do I need to tell you what I'm going to do? Get out of here right now."

Staring at her coldly, Chu Weiyue grabbed her clothes and threw her out.

"Chu Weiyue, come back here! If you dare to leave, I will definitely tell Daddy!"

He turned around and gave her a disdainful look, then left in a swagger. No one dared to come.

Upon learning that Chu Weiyue was coming, Wen Jingchi came out of the study.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to discuss with you. I just wrote a list. Apart from those without real power, the only ones left are our family, Marquis Jin'an, and Marquis Changyang."

She placed the list she had written in front of Wen Jingchi.

There was no trace of surprise in Wen Jingchi's eyes. It was obvious that he had already thought of what Chu Weiyue could think of.

"Okay, I will send someone to closely monitor these two people now. It is very likely that it is one of them."

After giving orders to his men, he found that Chu Weiyue had been looking at him. He frowned in some discomfort.

Chu Weiyue didn't feel embarrassed, she approached him and took his arm: "Your Majesty, I helped you so much, you should give me some reward, right?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have shown up in front of the emperor, and you wouldn't have been able to solve the human trafficker case..."
