After being interrupted by Wang Ruofu, Ran Dong blushed and said angrily, "I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the power of the housekeeper."

Hearing the words "housekeeper's power", Wang Ruofu's face instantly turned serious, "Are you saying that she wants to take my housekeeper's power?"

Ran Dong nodded and said seriously, "You have been in charge of the Prince's Mansion before. If the matter between Prince and the eldest lady spreads out, you will inevitably be held responsible for negligence. Then she will have a chance."

"She wants to seize power from me and fulfill her dream of a prosperous life." Wang Ruofu was already in a bad mood. Whoever gets into trouble now will be in trouble. "She wants to accuse me of something bad. This is like the thief crying 'Catch the thief!' Take your people and leave!"

Without saying a word, just like last time when he went to the Plum Garden Cottage to find Rouze, he brought the original team and rushed to the main courtyard where the Fourth Prince lived.

Ran Dong was in trouble again. Shouldn't he go to the prince to present facts and reason with him, clear himself of suspicion, and then use his secret connections to find evidence?

What is going on?

Wang Ruofu’s thinking was very simple. She didn’t do this, so it must have been done by someone else. She could just arrest them and interrogate them one by one. There was no need to go through so much trouble.

When Su Peisheng, who was guarding the gate, saw the person coming, his eyelids twitched and he coughed loudly.

He couldn't stop her, nor did he dare to stop her. He pretended to be pushed away by Wang Ruofu, who shouted, "Concubine, Qi Gege just went in."

Su Peisheng: Master, this is all I can do to help you.

Hearing Su Peisheng's suggestion, the Fourth Prince immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Qi Yuebin was a little surprised to see her barge in like this. He stood up from the bed leisurely, bowed and said, "I don't know why Concubine Fu Jin came at this time without letting anyone know..."

"what--"

Before she could finish her words, Wang Ruofu, who was already furious, slapped her to the ground, "Bah, since when did I have to explain my whereabouts to a princess like you?"

Wang Ruofu swaggered to a chair and sat down, holding a hand warmer in her hand, with a cold expression: "Jianqiu, go check the people in Qi Gege's yard and Gang Gege's yard to see what they have done recently."

"Let's see who dares!" Qi Yuebin was slapped for no apparent reason, and could no longer maintain his image of being indifferent to the world. He covered his face and said angrily, "I don't know where Concubine Fu Jin got the power to do this. Have you asked the prince for his opinion?"

"What authority do you have?" Wang Ruofu looked at Qi Yuebin with a sidelong glance as if she had heard a joke, "Who are you? It's your turn to speak here."

"I am in charge of the whole family! I will investigate if I say so!"

Wang Ruofu slammed the table and winked at Qi Rong and Jiang Fuhai, "Qi Gege is so uncooperative, I'm afraid she is guilty of something, so let's start with Qi Gege's personal maid."

"I didn't do anything. You don't have any evidence. How can you search me without any evidence?" Jixiang struggled hard, but was ultimately no match for Jiang Fuhai and the others. "Princess, princess, save me."

Qi Yuebin had no choice but to step forward and hug Jixiang with his body, and threatened Wang Ruofu: "Jixiang is the dowry I brought from the Qi Mansion. You have no right to interrogate her!"

Upon hearing this, the others also stopped what they were doing and looked at Wang Ruofu with some embarrassment.

"You have been in the Prince's Mansion for so many years, and you receive the monthly salary from the Prince's Mansion, not the monthly salary from your Qi family." Wang Ruofu rejected it arrogantly, and pulled Qi Yuebin away from Jixiang roughly.

"Wake up, this is the Prince's Mansion, not your Qi Family. It is not your turn as a princess who is not listed in the Imperial Book to tell me what to do."

Qi Yuebin was thrown away by Wang Ruofu by the back of his clothes. His back hurt, but he still tried to stop her, saying, "Concubine, you are interrogating and searching without explanation. Aren't you afraid of what others will say?"

"Stop talking nonsense here. I have nothing to be afraid of." Wang Ruofu was unmoved and insisted, "She is a slave and I am the master. Master, do you need to choose a time to interrogate me? Hurry and drag her down for interrogation."

Jiang Fuhai and Qi Rong immediately found the backbone after hearing this, said "yes", and quickly dragged Jixiang and several other confidants of Qi Yuebin in the yard out.

Learn and carry forward the master's spirit, don't waste time or waste time, and start interrogation directly.

The maids and servants cried together and complained bitterly.

Qi Yuebin became anxious upon seeing this. With such severe torture, someone would surely not be able to bear it, and she couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

Since she couldn't stop Wang Ruofu, she could only find someone capable to come forward. She knelt down beside the Fourth Prince's bed, grabbed the Fourth Prince's arm with both hands, and cried, "Fourth Master, please wake up, Fourth Master."

The Fourth Prince who pretended to be dead: “…” I couldn’t hear him.

Not long after, Jiang Fuhai and Qi Rong came back with their confessions. "Concubine, several servants couldn't stand the torture and have confessed. They were indeed the ones who leaked the news to the merchants when they went to the streets to buy things."

"Well done." Wang Ruofu nodded with satisfaction, her eyebrows raised with pride, her lips slightly opened and closed, "What else do you have to say now? You are such a traitor, and you still dare to act pretentiously here."

Qi Yuebin was speechless, shocked and unwilling to accept Wang Ruofu's brutal treatment. She was defeated by this stupid woman in such an inexplicable way.

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. No, she hadn't lost yet.

"The maids and servants in my room cannot control their mouths. It is my fault for failing to discipline them. Please punish them, Madam Concubine." Qi Yuebin lowered his eyebrows and spoke in a soft voice, appearing very respectful.

Wang Ruofu frowned and took the confession and looked through it. She flipped through several pages in a row and confirmed that none of them indicated that the confession was instructed by Qi Yuebin. She was so angry that she slammed the table again.

"You think if they don't give you up, I won't know it was you who did it. You are fooling fools."

Qi Yuebin raised her head and looked directly at Wang Ruofu: "Although I am not listed in the imperial edict, I am not a slave who is helpless and at the mercy of Concubine. If Concubine wants to deal with me, please show me the evidence."

Wang Ruofu crumpled up the confession and threw it at the fourth prince who was pretending to be dead, "Jiang Fuhai, go find some human traffickers."

"Yes, huh?" Jiang Fuhai paused as he ran out, turned back and asked, "What do you want to find a human trafficker for?"

Wang Ruofu: "Who in the capital can afford to keep so many slaves who gossip about their masters? Sell them all, along with their parents, brothers, sisters, children, and even their in-laws!"

Jiang Fuhai confirmed again and again: "Um, don't we need to beat them up first?"

"You're stupid." Wang Ruofu stood up and looked at Jiang Fuhai, pointing at the servants outside the house and said, "If you keep beating them, how can they be sold if they are crippled? No one wants them even if they are given away for free. Just do whatever I tell you to do."

It’s such a simple and plain reason.

Jiang Fuhai: “…Yes.”

After dealing with the people in Qi Yuebin's room, Wang Ruofu treated everyone equally and ordered people to search and interrogate Gangege's room as well.

"As for you, Qi Yuebin, you failed to discipline the servants and caused the entire Prince's Mansion to lose face. You caused Prince to be summoned by the Emperor for questioning and even beaten. What crime can you take?"

Wang Ruofu waved her sleeves, rushed forward and slapped Qi Yuebin in the face again.
