"Someone told me that I should listen to advice. As the saying goes, honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears but is beneficial to action. Keeping these termites will only destroy the foundation of Tiansheng Kingdom." Mulansheng said slowly.
"The Third Prince has arrived!"
When they saw Mulansheng, some officers started shouting.
The Yang family members who were kneeling on the ground in a mess had not yet reacted when they all knelt down nervously.
The eunuch beside him respectfully took the item the guard had just handed over and handed it to Mulansheng, saying, "This is the indenture of all the maids and servants of the Yang family that we just found."
Mulansheng took the stack of indentures and flipped through them one by one.
But his eyes suddenly stopped on one of the pictures: Yun Miao.
He pulled it out and saw the elegant handwriting on it. His eyebrows tightened, but then he quickly regained his composure. He glanced at the Yang family members below and said, "Execute according to your order."
"Yes, Third Prince!" The eunuch lowered his head, not daring to ask what the prince's secretly folded indenture was for. He immediately retreated respectfully.
The Third Prince has been acting with brutality and ruthlessness lately. After dealing with the King of the Northern Territory, he immediately raided the Yang Family, which was in stark contrast to his low-key behavior after his leg injury.
Mulansheng's ruthless methods made some nobles and eunuchs in the capital feel in danger.
Could it be that the former God of War Prince has returned?
It is said that Mulansheng acted in the same way before he broke his leg.
But after his leg injury, he became calm and low-key, which made people forget his former glory.
After all, a dragon with a broken horn is still a dragon.
…
In the corner, Yang Qing'er's gaze fell on Mu Lansheng. She thought the man in the wheelchair was breathtakingly beautiful. His eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes like a sea of stars, his face delicate yet cold. He wore a silver robe as bright as the moon, and even in a wheelchair, his beauty remained undiminished.
She had never seen such a handsome and extraordinary man in the world.
Yang Qing'er's heart was pounding as she suddenly remembered that the Third Prince had protected their entire Yang family in front of His Majesty.
It was just wishful thinking. The Third Prince had no connection with the Yang family.
Could it be because of... her?
After all, at her birthday a while ago, many nobles praised her as a fairy descending from the Jade Pool. The Third Prince must have heard the rumors...
Yang Qing'er immediately glared at Hong Yun beside her: "Help me clean up quickly."
Her hair was extremely messy at the moment, and she had been crying, so her image must have been greatly reduced.
You must not leave such a bad impression on the first side.
Hongyun didn't understand her young lady's order, but she didn't dare to disobey, so she immediately tidied up Yang Qing'er's messy hair.
But thinking that Yang Qing'er was no longer the same person as before, and considering the insults and beatings she had suffered, she just perfunctorily said, "Alright, Miss!"
Yang Qing'er couldn't wait to walk towards Mu Lansheng: "Third Prince..."
Mulansheng raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him with disheveled clothes and a dirty face, his expression calm.
As they got closer, Yang Qing'er's heart beat faster when she met Mu Lansheng's face.
She immediately knelt down in front of Mu Lansheng with a pitiful look and said, "I heard that it was the Third Prince who saved the lives of the entire Yang Mansion. Qing'er would like to thank the Prince here."
Yang Jingheng, whose face was ashen, had a slightly brighter look in his eyes when he saw Yang Qing'er's action.
If the Third Prince could fall in love with Qing'er, wouldn't that mean... the entire Yang family could be revived?
"No need to thank me. You should thank the person on the paper." Mulansheng suddenly took out the indenture from his arms and unfolded it gently: "Do you know him?"
His eyes were fixed on Yang Qing'er's expression, and he did not miss the flash of disgust that crossed Yang Qing'er's face when she saw Yun Miao's name.
"Your Highness, this was just a maid who died in the Yang Mansion. Why did Your Highness ask Qing'er to thank her?" Yang Qing'er was puzzled. Why did Mu Lansheng take out Yun Miao's indenture contract?
Mulansheng raised his hand gently.
Ye Feng immediately understood what was going on. He grabbed a woman of similar age to Yang Qing'er, put his sword to her neck, and asked, "Was Yun Miao a maid in the Yang Mansion?"
Ye Feng now finally understood why the prince came to the Yang Mansion in person.
It turns out that the Yang Mansion was Miss Yun’s residence during her lifetime.
"Yes...no...and neither." The woman was frightened and stammered.
"Nothing at all? If you dare to lie, it won't be as easy as simple exile." Ye Feng sneered.
The woman who was captured was the daughter of the third concubine of the Yang family, and she usually did not get along with Yang Qing'er.
She blamed her father for doting all his love on Yang Qing'er, and her heart was already full of complaints.
At this moment, he immediately pointed in the direction of Yang Qing'er and said, "It's her. Daddy bought Yun Miao to be her substitute."
A scapegoat?
Mulansheng's face instantly darkened: "Continue!"
"Third Prince, don't listen to her nonsense! Yang Nian'er, you are crazy!" Yang Qing'er changed her gentle attitude at the beginning, her eyes became fierce and she looked at Yang Nian'er on the other end angrily.
Yang Nian'er gritted her teeth, "I was just going to say it. Anyway, there's no one to protect you now. To answer your Third Prince, the fortune teller said that my second sister has been weak and sickly since childhood and won't live past her sixteenth birthday. So all they need to do is buy a woman born on the same day of the same month and year with good fortune and raise her, then exchange her life for my sister's on her birthday, and my second sister can live. So Yun Miao entered our Yang Mansion at the age of seven. She's been tortured by my second sister since she was little, and every year she's been subjected to the blood-drawing technique. Ten fingers release a bowlful of blood for my second sister to drink. When she reaches sixteen, they kill Yun Miao, allowing their fates to alternate."
Hearing about this cruel operation, Ye Feng was furious: "Ridiculous! How dare you believe in such evil magic? That was just a seven-year-old child."
He could never have imagined that Miss Yun, who was so innocent and naive, had grown up in such an environment.
Mulansheng's body was getting colder and colder, and his voice was low: "Continue!"
"Even though it's just bleeding, it's not too painful, as long as I can make up for it later. But my second sister has a cruel temper and has enjoyed abusing Yun Miao since she was a child. She was either whipped or locked up in the woodshed and starved for three days and three nights. Then, in winter, she was made to kneel outside for several hours in thin clothes, and it was even common for her to be hung under a water bridge. So it was a miracle that Yun Miao could live to the age of sixteen. She was obviously lying in bed unable to move, but she didn't expect that she would become my second sister's scapegoat and eventually die in a fire." Yang Nian'er had wanted to say this for a long time. With Yang Qing'er's vicious temper, how could she get her father's favor?
Ye Feng felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He really didn't expect that Yun Miao would live a life worse than death when she was alive.
I didn't expect that Yang Qing'er, although young, could be so vicious.
"You don't want her to live, so why don't you treat her better?" Ye Feng glared at Yang Qing'er.
At least this way, when she meets them later, the suffering she suffered before will be much better.
Yang Qing'er knelt on the ground and kept denying: "No, it's not like that, she is lying."
