Chapter 176 His Highness the Crown Prince Intends to Threaten



Xie Sheng's appearance stunned everyone.

The reason why Luo Jifeng and the He family sued Yun Chuwei was because of Wei Ling, who was a witness.

They all knew that Wei Ling meant what His Highness the Crown Prince meant.

That's why they followed Wei Ling's instructions and came to cause trouble for Yun Chuwei.

The Prefect of Jingzhao only dared to bring people to question Yun Chuwei because Wei Ling was the Crown Prince's man.

If it weren't for the Crown Prince's support, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare offend the Emperor's favorite.

He had just heard that His Majesty's rewards were flowing into the Marquis's residence like water.

But now, what does His Highness the Crown Prince mean?

Why did he call out to Wei Ling?

At this moment, Xie Sheng had already arrived in front of Yun Chuwei.

He looked at Yun Chuwei and said, "Chuwei, don't worry, I won't let them wrong you!"

Yun Chuwei could not hide the annoyance in her eyes.

She didn't reply, nor did she bother to look at Xie Sheng.

After Xie Sheng finished speaking, he looked at Wei Ling and said, "Wei Ling, are you just spouting nonsense? If I find out that you are falsely accusing people, I will not let you off the hook!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Ling quickly replied, "Your Highness, I have never lied. I have always spoken the truth, and I don't know why Young Master Luo insists on misunderstanding me!"

Luo Jifeng stared at Wei Ling, looking puzzled, and said, "What did you say? When did I misunderstand you?"

Wei Ling spoke earnestly, "I've been telling you all along that Miss Yun Fahua insisted on going to play with His Highness the Crown Prince, but he was busy with official duties and ignored her. Then she went to Miss Yun and demanded that she play with her, but Miss Yun was also busy and treated her badly. In a fit of anger, Yuan Fahua left the military camp and disappeared! This whole thing is because Miss Yun Fahua was ungrateful and didn't know her place; it has nothing to do with Miss Yun. Why are you trying to shift the blame onto Miss Yun?"

Luo Jifeng was stunned. He looked at Wei Ling with disbelief in his eyes: "You...you didn't say that before..."

Madam He and He An, who came with Wei Ling, also looked at Wei Ling in disbelief.

Wei Ling stepped behind Xie Sheng and said, "This is what I've always said. I don't know why you insist on misinterpreting my meaning. Is it to smear Miss Yun?"

Even the Prefect of Jingzhao was dumbfounded.

Wei Ling didn't originally say that.

Why did he suddenly change?

He originally thought that the Crown Prince and his guard were on the opposite side of Yun Chuwei.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

The Crown Prince seemed to be protecting Yun Chuwei.

Although he didn't understand why things were like this, as a seasoned official, he knew what he had to do.

"How dare you, Luo Jifeng, slander Miss Yun! Guards, seize him and give him fifty lashes!"

Luo Jifeng tried to resist and protest his innocence, but he was quickly arrested.

Madam He and He An tried to protect Luo Jifeng, but were quickly pulled away.

With Luo Jifeng's shouts, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be given fifty lashes.

After the beating and the restraint of Luo Jifeng, the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture came over to apologize to Yun Chuwei and Xie Sheng.

Xie Sheng put on a deeply affectionate expression, looking at Yun Chuwei and saying, "As long as Miss Yun doesn't blame you, I naturally won't blame you either. I'll listen to Miss Yun!"

Yun Chuwei felt nauseous.

If she still doesn't understand that this farce was orchestrated by Xie Sheng to deliberately annoy her, then she might as well be dead.

Seeing the Prefect of Jingzhao bow to her, waiting for her to speak, Yun Chuwei's face darkened slightly as she slowly said, "Speaking of Yun Fahua, I have some recollection of him. What Wei Ling said doesn't seem to be true!"

The Prefect of the Capital stared wide-eyed, his brow twitching.

He didn't understand what kind of trouble this young lady was up to now.

Hasn't this matter already been investigated and clarified? Hasn't it been cleared up from her involvement? What else does she want to do?

Ignoring the ugly expression on the face of the Prefect of Jingzhao, Yun Chuwei continued, "Yun Fahua came to me saying that she had been hurt and violated, and she wanted me to send her away. I didn't have that ability at the time, so I told her to go to His Highness the Crown Prince. After all, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who took her to Jizhou."

Yun Chuwei paused for a moment, then continued, "I didn't expect Yun Fahua to disappear so suddenly. Now that I think about it, Yun Fahua was someone the Crown Prince brought with him, so no one should have dared to touch her! I suspect that the one who harmed and violated her was the Crown Prince or his guards. Perhaps, the Crown Prince or Wei Ling were also responsible for the murder to silence her!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.

Xie Sheng looked at Yun Chuwei, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He originally thought that Yun Chuwei would be moved by his protection.

But why is everything different from what he expected?

"This..." The Prefect of Jingzhao's lips twitched, unsure of what to say.

He knew that Miss Yun was up to no good, but he didn't expect that she was targeting His Highness the Crown Prince.

The Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture dared not touch the Crown Prince and Wei Ling.

He began, "Actually, there's no definitive conclusion as to whether Yun Fahua is missing or not. The reason I brought her family to ask Miss Yun earlier was because the family strongly requested it. Since the family hasn't spoken yet, let's wait until we find Yun Fahua before discussing it further."

He felt that as long as the family members didn't come forward to sue the Crown Prince and Wei Ling, he could keep dragging it out.

Yun Chuwei smiled coldly as she looked at Luo Jifeng and slowly said, "That's true. Young Master Luo was just beaten fifty times because of Wei Ling, so it's normal that he's scared now and doesn't dare to sue Wei Ling!"

Yun Chuwei felt that Luo Jifeng definitely wouldn't dare to report the Crown Prince.

However, this Wei Ling is not necessarily the case.

After all, in Luo Jifeng's view, he was punished because of Wei Ling.

If we can use this incident to kill Wei Ling and avenge Nineteen, that would be a good thing.

Luo Jifeng trembled with pain, and upon hearing Yun Chuwei's words, he felt a surge of anger.

It was clearly Wei Ling who spoke ill of him, making him believe that the Crown Prince wanted to deal with Yun Chuwei, which is why he stepped forward to accuse Yun Chuwei.

Who would have thought...

It's all Wei Ling's fault!

He grabbed He An's hand and said, "I've come here to seek justice for my sister. Since Miss Yun suspects Wei Ling, then I believe Miss Yun! Your Excellency, I want to sue Wei Ling!"

Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture: ...

He was speechless.

Is this ever going to end? What's going on here? Is he really going to arrest the Crown Prince's men?

Xie Sheng and Wei Ling both looked rather grim.

"Luo Jifeng, you..." Xie Sheng looked at Luo Jifeng with cold eyes, wanting to threaten him.

Yun Chuwei interrupted Xie Sheng with a cold smile.

"Is Your Highness planning to threaten Luo Jifeng? So, you just let Wei Ling treat Luo Jifeng like that to intimidate him, so that you can threaten him now?"

Xie Sheng: ...

Wei Ling: ...
