The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The maid timidly glanced inside the room. The prince was sitting inside, fuming with anger, so she didn't dare to move.

Xu Keke stamped her feet in anxiety and approached her viciously to threaten her.

"It was the prince who let me go. If you don't take me with you, I'll tell on you in front of the prince!"

The maid then led Xu Keke out tremblingly.

After taking a few steps, he heard Chu Musheng's angry roar from behind him.

"Xu Keke, if you dare to leave, I will make sure the Xu family never has peace!"

Xu Keke paused. "Fuck you! Go do it! Kill your uncle's family first. I can use him as a tool to kill."

If she knew that her uncle was arguing with her parents about separating the family property, she probably wouldn't have thought so.

Or maybe it's ignorance and fearlessness! Xu Keke dragged the little maid forward.

The little maidservant was so frightened that her body became as stiff as noodles. After she finally reached the side door of the palace, she was stopped by a group of guards.

"Without the prince's order, this girl cannot leave."

Dingdang was still standing outside the palace gate at this time. When she saw the young lady coming out, she rushed over to get close to Xu Keke.

It was blocked by two guards with crossed spears.

"Anyone who trespasses into the palace will die!"

Dingdang was so scared that she didn't dare to act rashly.

Xu Keke was both angry and anxious.

"Get out of the way! Are you trying to put a decent woman under house arrest?"

Just when the stalemate was about to break out, Chu Musheng's personal bodyguard Sheng San walked over.

"Miss Xu, the prince said that as long as you go back and apologize to him, this matter can be dropped."

Xu Keke snorted coldly.

"What have I done wrong?"

Sheng San spread his hands and said helplessly:

"Miss Xu, please don't make things difficult for me. If things get out of hand, it will be bad for you and the Xu family. Do you want to see your maid bleed to death?"

"Are you threatening me?" Xu Keke looked at Sheng San angrily.

Sheng San did not comment.

How can this continue?

Xu Keke knew very well that with the power of the Regent, even if she returned to the Xu family, her parents and uncle would not be able to protect her.

Looking at Dingdang who refused to leave, Xu Keke closed her eyes and thought, if anyone can go out, then that’s the best!

"Dingdang, go back first and help me, the young lady, to see the master and his wife. Tell them that I am safe in the palace!"

Xu Keke hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to give in and turned back.

Behind him was Dingdang's call.

"Miss, Miss."

Xu Keke didn't look back, and said to herself in her heart:

Just be patient for now, there will always be a way to get out of this palace.

She returned to the room alone and saw Chu Musheng sitting on a chair with a gloomy face.

"Figured out?"

How can you say you've figured it out? Isn't it true that people have to bow their heads under the eaves?

Xu Keke secretly complained in her heart, lowered her head like a defeated hen, and said nothing.

Chu Musheng stood up and walked in front of her. He was muscular and more than a head taller than her.

"say!"

Xu Keke bit her lip and said compromisingly.

"Your Highness, I will stay here, but please keep your promise and don't force me to do anything I don't want to do."

Chu Musheng looked at her aggrieved expression, and most of the anger in his heart disappeared.

"As long as you are obedient, I will not make things difficult for you."

After saying that, he left Tingyuxuan.

Xu Keke suddenly lost all his energy and sat down limply on the carpet.

In this evil feudal society, no one can control his own destiny.

I shouldn't have dressed so beautifully. Now I've caught the eye of the crazy prince.

Xu Keke pulled out the hairpins from her head one by one. She couldn't leave the palace. What was the point of wearing so many jewelries?

And these jade bracelets and gold bracelets, take them all off.

……

Dingdang returned to Xu's house at sunset.

When Cui, the housekeeper of the first house, saw her come back, his expression was as if he had seen something strange, and he hurried to tell the eldest master Xu Linfeng.

Dingdang ignored the strange looks the servants in the mansion gave her and went straight back to the west courtyard of the second house.

When I stepped into the west courtyard, I saw the master and his wife directing the servants to pack up.

A sharp-eyed servant was the first to see her and called out.

"Sister Dingdang is back."

The dusty second master Xu Linyun immediately looked over.

"Dingdang, why did you come back alone? Where's the lady?"

The Second Madam and Nanny Ding, who were busy at work, also came over after hearing the noise.

"Ding Dong are you back? Where's Coco?"

Dingdang knelt on her knees and sobbed.

"Dingdang is useless. She failed to protect the young lady. The young lady is being held captive in Prince Sheng's mansion."

The Second Madam and Nanny Ding looked at each other and stepped forward to help Dingdang up.

"Don't cry, Dingdang! Come on, come back to the room with us and tell us what's going on."

The second master saw them go to the side rooms and said something to the servants.

"You guys continue packing."

After saying that, he ran to the wing room.

Dingdang sat down beside the eight-immortals table and, without even taking a sip of water, told the master and mistress everything that had happened in the past two days.

I heard that Xuanyunduo went to the prison to see his second daughter.

Aunt Ding praised: "After all, they are sisters. The eldest daughter went to see her own sister even when she was pregnant."

I heard that the top scholar Shen Qingfeng went to the prison to visit his second daughter.

The second master and his wife looked at each other.

The Second Lady said, "This child is truly affectionate and righteous. They were originally engaged, and if it weren't for this incident, they might have gotten married."

The second master sighed and said nothing.

When the good daughter heard the jailer torturing the prisoners in the prison, she was so scared that she hid in the corner and cried.

The second wife's tears fell down.

"My poor daughter has suffered a great deal!"

The Second Master and Nanny Ding also started wiping away their tears.

I heard that the Queen Mother sent a nanny and two eunuchs to the prison to kill Coco.

The second master clenched his fists, blaming himself for being incompetent and unable to protect his beloved daughter.

Hearing the tit-for-tat confrontation between Nanny Wang and the Queen Mother's men, the three of them were all puzzled.

"Why are the prince's people clashing with the queen mother's people?"

"Isn't it that they have..."

"Okay, stop thinking about it and listen to what Dingdang has to say."

When they heard Dingdang say that Nanny Wang had taken them out of prison, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Dingdang said finally.

"The prince only released this servant, and the young lady was left in the palace."

The second master thought about it in his mind and said in a low voice.

"Being in the palace is better than being in the Ministry of Justice prison. At least the Queen Mother can't get her hands on it. I think this is it!

You guys move as planned tomorrow, I'll go to the palace and ask to see the prince to see if I can bring Keke back."

The second wife nodded. This was the only way for now.

Dingdang asked Aunt Ding in confusion.

"Mom, why are we moving?"

Aunt Ding touched Dingdang's head.

"My child, you and the Second Young Miss were thrown into jail. The First Master and the Old Madam were afraid of being implicated, so they called in the elders of the clan and expelled the Second Branch from the clan.

We are packing our things today and moving to the Madam’s dowry house tomorrow.”

Dingdang's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

"How could they do this? All these years, the Second Madam has been supporting the First House family with her dowry, and now they want to kick the Master and the Madam out and even exterminate the clan because of this?"

Aunt Ding sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. The Master and his people have always been unsympathetic. Now that something like this has happened, they're naturally eager to distance themselves from it."

The second wife wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced herself to cheer up.

"Dingdang, stop complaining. Our family can live a good life in the house over there in the future."

Dingdang bit her lip, her heart full of grievance and unwillingness. Looking at the haggard face of the Second Madam, she suddenly remembered something.

"Dingdang just forgot that the young lady wrote a letter in blood in the prison and asked someone to deliver it. Dingdang saw the letter. It said she wished to push me down the stairs."

The second wife glared at the second master fiercely.

"Look at your good eldest brother's good daughter, she is trying to kill our second daughter!"

"Who wants to kill my second sister?"
