After the marriage, the abstinent prince turned me on

As she knelt, the other girls who had been hesitant and watching also knelt down and said in unison: "We are willing to serve you too!"

Xie Mishuang looked at the group of poor children in front of him. The oldest was only ten years old and the youngest was only six. They should have been enjoying their childhood without worries, but they were tortured by the beast Shang Zhize into this half-human, half-ghost appearance.

She helped the children up one by one and said softly, "Get up, everyone. I don't need you to serve me. From now on, you can live here peacefully. I will send someone to teach you medicine. When you have learned, you can work in the clinic and help me earn money. It won't be too late to repay me then."

When the little girl heard that she could study medicine, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, a long-lost smile appeared on her face, and she quickly said, "Thank you, sister, we are willing to study medicine!"

Xie Mishuang felt relieved when he saw the light of hope rekindled on their faces.

She told Li Zhong to take the children downstairs to eat something, and then she turned around and went back to her room.

As soon as she entered the room, Ah Xi came up to her. Seeing that Xie Mishuang looked a little strange, she asked with concern, "Madam, where did these girls come from? They look so pitiful..."

Xie Mishuang sighed and told Ah Xi what Shang Zhize had done.

After hearing this, Ah Xi was so angry that she trembled all over and cursed, "What? Master Shang...how could he do this? He's simply a beast! I curse him to be reborn as a pig, a dog, or a beast in his next life!"

"Axi, please help me check the physical condition of those girls later. I'm worried..." Xie Mishuang wanted to say something but stopped, his brows full of worry.

"Don't worry, Madam. I'll go right away." Ah Xi said as she was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back abruptly, "But Madam, what about the Shuangnvtang? We can't keep the door closed forever, can we?"

"Mr. Li is back." Xie Mi raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a reassuring smile. "Since Shuangnutang has adopted the name Mr. Li, it's natural that he must be in charge."

Ah Xi smiled brightly upon hearing this, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about Mr. Li! Your Majesty is truly thoughtful!"

After saying that, Ah Xi went to look for those girls excitedly.

On the other side, Shang Yong and Li returned to Shang Mansion exhausted.

As soon as he reached the gate of the mansion, Shang Yong was stunned by the scene before him.

There were two bright red seals on the gate of Shang Mansion. The word "seal" on the seals was eye-catching, like a heavy hammer, hitting Shang Yong's heart hard.

"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!" Shang Yong was shaking all over, pointing at the seal and shouting, "Who dares to do this in my place?"

"Master, calm down, Master, calm down!" The Shang Mansion's housekeeper rushed out of the house in a panic and fell to his knees in front of Shang Yong, tears streaming down his face. "It's...it's the people sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. They...they found many young girls in the secret passage inside the young master's room..."

"What?!" Shang Yong and Li were both shocked when they heard this.

"Master, this matter...this matter has been discovered by the Emperor," the butler said, his voice trembling. "The Emperor is furious and has said...said he wants our Shang Mansion...confiscated!"

The word "confiscation of property" was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Shang Yong so much that he stepped back repeatedly, his face as pale as paper.

"Evil creature! Evil creature!" Shang Yong pointed at the sky and roared at the top of his lungs, "How could I have given birth to such an evil creature!"

"Master, what should we do now?" Li was already frightened out of her wits. She grabbed Shang Yong's arm and cried, "Master, Ze'er hasn't been found yet!"

"Don't mention him to me!" Shang Yong pushed Li away and roared, "This is the good son you raised! He actually raised a virgin girl secretly, he deserves to be arrested by the prince!"

"Master, I..." Li wanted to say something else but was rudely interrupted by Shang Yong.

"Now that things have come to this, the best thing to do now is to find Ze'er and ensure his safety!" Li cried, her voice full of despair.

"He won't die!" Shang Yong snorted coldly, "Your Highness the Crown Prince won't cause any loss of life!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people in official uniforms came over.

"Sir Shang, Madam Shang," the leader said expressionlessly, "Please come with us."

Shang Yong stood with his hands behind his back, without saying a word, as he and Li were taken into the Dali Temple together.

In the Golden Throne Hall, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

The Shang family was raided and Shang Zhize was captured. This news was like a bolt from the blue, frightening all the civil and military officials in the court.

"Your Majesty, I dare to say that there must be something fishy going on here!" An old official with white hair and beard stepped forward tremblingly, tears streaming down his face. "Lord Shang has served in office for many years and has always been upright and honest. He would never do such a heinous act! Your Majesty, please be discerning and give Lord Shang justice!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Another official stepped forward and echoed, "Lord Shang has been diligent and dedicated to the court. His son's crimes are not comparable to his father's!"

For a while, voices of agreement arose one after another in the court.

Most of these officials rose to prominence by relying on the Shang family. Now that the Shang family's empire is about to collapse, they naturally have to do their utmost to protect it. Otherwise, if the Shang family's empire is destroyed, they might be the next to suffer!

The fourth prince Ouyang Xu stood aside, watching this scene, a sneer on his face.

Ouyang Xu was secretly proud in his heart, "Prince, oh Prince, without the protection of the Shang family, I wonder how long you can be so arrogant!"

Sitting on the dragon throne, Emperor Ouyang Hong had a gloomy expression and said nothing.

He naturally knew that these officials were pleading for the Shang family and also testing his attitude.

The Shang family is powerful and has complex networks. If it is easily shaken, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the government.

But if we turn a blind eye, how can we explain this to the people of the world?

"I know what you are saying, my dear ministers." Ouyang Hong pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "However, this matter is of great importance, and I must treat it with caution. Whether Shang Qing knew about the girl's imprisonment remains to be verified. If he did not, I will naturally give her a lighter sentence."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The officials knelt down and shouted "Long live the emperor".

After the court session, an official named Ying hurriedly found Ouyang Jing.

"Your Highness, Lord Shang is your cousin after all. How could you be so heartless?" Lord Ying said bitterly, "You personally led people to search the Shang Mansion. This... this is truly disrespectful!"

"Yes, Your Highness," another official added, "You should think twice! If the Shang family falls, it will only bring you harm!"

Ouyang Jing looked at them coldly without saying a word.
