Xie Sheng has been in a bad mood these past few days.
His mother asked him to investigate Yun Chuwei's sect, and after much effort, he managed to get a basic understanding of it.
Upon receiving Yun Lianhua's message inviting him to the Marquis's residence, he did not hesitate.
He went to the palace to see his mother once, and then came here.
Because he hadn't had a very happy time these past few days, he also wanted to see Yun Lianhua.
You know, he would be happier every time he saw Yun Lianhua.
Moreover, he also came up with a way to use the Marquis's residence to investigate Yun Chuwei's sect.
He had just entered the Marquis's residence when Yun Lianhua ran over.
“Crown Prince, you’ve finally arrived? I…I…”
Yun Lianhua rushed to Xie Sheng and began to sob.
Xie Sheng felt very sorry for him.
The person in front of him was his savior, so he would naturally do his best to protect her.
So he said, "What's wrong? Lian'er, don't cry. Tell me what happened, and I will definitely get justice for you!"
Yun Lianhua then choked up and said, "Father said he wanted to marry Mother, so he brought Mother and me to the Marquis's mansion to discuss this matter with Mother. Unexpectedly, Mother not only disagreed, but also had Father and Mother tied up! My maternal grandparents rushed over to persuade them. My maternal grandfather was beaten up by Yun Chuwei's men! Brother Crown Prince, I couldn't protect Mother and my maternal grandparents, so I had no choice but to send someone to find you."
After saying this long speech, she stood aside and began to sob silently again.
Yunmo was furious when he saw Yun Lianhua's performance.
He commented angrily, "Affected, pretentious, and utterly disgusting!"
Hearing his son make such a comment, He Ning couldn't help but laugh and say, "You're right."
Yunmo was pleased to hear his mother acknowledge him.
But his joy wouldn't last long, because Xie Sheng had already come over.
Xie Sheng was furious after hearing Yun Lianhua's words.
As he approached, he saw Yun Xian and He An tied up by the guards, while He Zhiqian was beaten black and blue. He immediately became furious.
He felt that this Marquis's mansion truly lacked distinction between superiors and inferiors, elders and juniors.
Seeing everyone bowing to him, he ignored Yun Chuwei and the others, and instead walked to He Zhiqian's side and helped him up.
"Lord He, who beat you up like this?" Xie Sheng asked.
Upon hearing this, He Zhiqian was both angry and annoyed: "What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family! This Yun Chuwei doesn't treat me like an elder at all, she actually ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guard to beat me!"
He Zhiqian still doesn't understand why Yun Chuwei dared to have someone beat him up; he is her maternal grandfather!
Upon hearing this, Xie Sheng glared at Yun Chuwei and said, "Yun Chuwei, how dare you lay a hand on your maternal grandfather? Don't you have any filial piety at all?"
Yun Chuwei usually bows to elders and those of high status.
However, she always stood up after bowing, too lazy to care about other people's expressions.
So, while everyone was still bowing to Xie Sheng, Yun Chuwei had already stood up straight.
"So?" she asked slowly after hearing Xie Sheng's words, "Are you going to fight me?"
Yun Chuwei felt that it was not advisable to physically assault Xie Sheng.
After all, he is the crown prince; if word gets out, things will likely not end well.
However, if Xie Sheng makes the first move, things will be different!
Xie Sheng made the first move, and she retaliated. As long as she wasn't killed or crippled, there shouldn't be any problems.
Seeing Yun Chuwei's eager expression, as if she wanted to fight him, Xie Sheng frowned and said unhappily, "Madman! I won't fight you, but I will definitely report you to Father!"
Yun Chuwei said nonchalantly, "Suit yourself!"
Xie Sheng felt very uncomfortable when he saw that Yun Chuwei didn't care about him at all.
Yun Chuwei clearly liked him so much in her previous life, so why does she completely ignore him in this life?
Yun Lianhua noticed that Xie Sheng was staring at Yun Chuwei in a daze, and felt inexplicably flustered.
She quickly tugged at Xie Sheng's sleeve and said, "Your Highness, my sister and mother will definitely listen to you. Could you please ask them to release my father and mother first?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Sheng looked at He Ning: "Madam Yun..."
He Ning respectfully said, "Your Highness, this is a family matter of the Marquis's residence. Although you are the Crown Prince, it is not appropriate for you to interfere."
A hint of displeasure flashed in Xie Sheng's eyes.
He didn't say anything, but walked over himself and untied Yun Xian and He An.
He didn't believe that anyone would dare to stop him if he personally untied himself!
He Ning's expression darkened when she saw him do this, but she did not stop him.
After all, Xie Sheng is the crown prince.
After regaining his freedom, Yun Xian glared at He Ning and said angrily, "He Ning, let me tell you, I will definitely marry An'er. Even if you try to stop me, it won't do any good!"
He Ning looked at Yun Xian and said sarcastically, "Tell me, if I, as the mistress of the house, don't drink the tea she offers, then is she considered a concubine or a servant?"
Yun Xian's face was gloomy.
According to the rules of the Great Chu, only when the mistress of the household drinks the tea of a concubine can the concubine be considered a "concubine" and enjoy the treatment of a mistress. Otherwise, she can only be considered a servant!
Upon hearing this, He An bit her lip, looked at He Ning with teary eyes, and said, "Sister, I never intended to ruin your relationship with brother-in-law. I just like him too much, and I can't help myself. Why are you making things difficult for me like this?"
When Yun Chuwei saw He An like this, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
She finally understood who Yun Lianhua had learned from.
He Ning frowned.
She used to think it was okay when she saw her younger sister throwing a tantrum and crying all the time, because she felt that since she was the only younger sister, she should spoil her more.
Looking at it now, it only makes me feel disgusted and nauseous.
She snorted coldly and said, "I never intended to make things difficult for you. But if I didn't make things difficult for you, how could I prove that your feelings are unwavering? So, I made you kneel from the south of the city to the north of the city just to test your feelings! Why don't you understand my good intentions?"
Upon hearing this, He An was speechless, unable to speak or cry.
Yun Chuwei couldn't help but laugh.
I have to say, my mother is getting better and better at talking.
This infuriated He An, but he couldn't find a rebuttal.
Seeing her mother's discomfiture, Yun Lianhua could only look to Xie Sheng for help.
Xie Sheng smiled at Yun Lianhua to reassure her.
Then, he looked at He Ning and said, "Madam Yun, the Empress has also heard about what happened at the Marquis's residence. She has an imperial decree for you. Kneel down and listen to the decree."
He Ning's face was grim, but he still knelt down to receive the imperial decree.
Yun Chu frowned slightly; she hadn't expected that Empress Wang would get involved in this matter.
Xie Sheng glanced at He Ning, who was kneeling on the ground, with great satisfaction. He then took out the imperial edict he had obtained from Empress Wang and began to read it aloud.
