She seemed to be crazy, yelling at Su Yuejian.

"Su Yuejian!! Even if my daughter committed such a heinous act, she is still a hundred times better than a fickle vixen like you!!"

"Ask the entire city of Kyoto, who doesn't know about the mess between you and Xie Jiusi?! My daughter is sincere to the Regent! She never begged for anything! She just wanted him to look at her more. How could she end up like this in your hands!"

"Su Yuejian, you are the evil woman! You are so lewd! Your alluring face is full of lust!!"

"You ignorant woman! Stop talking!!"

Lin Quan looked at Xiao Heng's gloomy face and angrily stopped Mrs. Lin from speaking dirty words.

"Meng Ran has brought this upon herself. You, a woman, can't even raise a child properly, yet you're still speaking nonsense here. You're simply lawless!"

Lin Quan was so angry that his chest heaved violently.

Why are these mother and daughter so crazy, one is crazier than the other? Who is Xiao Heng?

Iron-blooded means! No mercy!

In the entire Tianjin, apart from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, is there anyone he dare not kill?

A few days ago, at the Qianqiu Banquet, I crippled Prince Gong's leg, and the Emperor didn't even say a word of blame!

Prince Gong is the emperor's most beloved prince!

What does this mean! Xiao Heng's position of trust in the Emperor is extraordinary!

Now that Lin Mengran has offended the Taifu Mansion, he doesn't know how to deal with himself in the court in the future. Now Madam Lin is actually making a big fuss about Su Yuejian!

Regardless of whether it was true or false, it concerned Xiao Heng's reputation.

She is ready to die after losing her daughter, but Lin Quan cannot bear to lose all the wealth he has enjoyed for so many years!

The onlookers had already known the rumors about Su Yuejian and Xie Jiusi.

Hearing what Mrs. Lin said, everyone stretched their necks to look at Xiao Heng and Su Yuejian, discussing in low voices.

"Hey, tell me, does the Regent know about the affair between Princess Minghua and Patriarch Xie?"

"I think he must have known! How could a man in this world remain calm knowing that his wife was having an affair with someone else? Otherwise, why would the Regent have imprisoned Princess Minghua in the palace and refused to release her?"

"Yes, this is a question concerning a man's dignity! So it seems that what happened between Princess Minghua and Patriarch Xie is most likely true!"

Su Yuejian's eyebrows moved slightly, her lips opened slightly, and she suddenly felt her hand tighten.

Xiao Heng held her hand, his clear black eyes showing distress and worry, his voice was tender and affectionate.

"Is it almost time for Zhao Zhao to change the medicine? This is all my fault. Thank you for taking care of me these days. I'm so sorry."

Su Yuejian stared at his gentle eyes in a daze. Xiao Heng chuckled and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

Everyone looked at Xiao Heng's affectionate look with shocked eyes, and were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment.

Xuan Yu and Xuan Shuang had seen this many times before, so they were not surprised.

Instead, Du Shi looked at Xiao Heng as if he had seen a ghost. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly and confirmed again and again.

Is this soft-spoken, gentle person really the Regent?

Xie Jiusi in the crowd saw every move of Xiao Heng. His affectionate behavior was like a big hand tightly strangling his neck, suffocating him.

Xie Jiusi looked at Su Yuejian with gloomy eyes.

The girl stood close to Xiao Heng, the breeze blowing up the corners of her crimson clothes. She looked like a red plum blossom in the snow, elegant and lonely.

His eyes fell directly on Su Yuejian's injured hand, and the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched into a fist.

Everyone was even more excited when they saw Su Yuejian and Xiao Heng being so affectionate with each other.

"No way!! This, this, this...this...our cold-hearted God of War can actually be so gentle to others!! Isn't this what the book says...that...tempered steel becomes soft as silk!"

"That's right! There's no sign of any grudges here!!"

"And did you hear what the Regent just said? Princess Minghua is working so hard to take care of him! I told you that Princess Minghua couldn't possibly be imprisoned in the palace. She's clearly there to tend to him!"

"Who spread these rumors? The Prince Regent and Princess Minghua are clearly in a good relationship!"

Everyone was talking at once, denouncing the rumor that Su Yuejian had angered Xiao Heng and was imprisoned in the Regent's Palace.

"But I heard that Patriarch Xie and Princess Minghua seem to have a special relationship. What's going on?"

"They must be all rumors. Look, the Prince Regent accompanied Princess Minghua back to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion today, and now he's here to help her catch the culprit. It's obvious he's here to support her!"

Suddenly, a puzzled voice in the crowd attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, who are those people? There are so many officers and soldiers!"

Everyone looked over and saw two men in crimson official robes approaching from a distance, followed by a group of officers and soldiers.

When Su Yue saw the person coming, a hint of surprise and confusion flashed in her eyes.

The two of them walked over quickly, stepped forward and saluted.

"Your humble servant, Lu Zhan/Wang Yun, greets the Regent."

"Third brother, why are you here?"

Su Yuejian looked at Lu Zhan, who was dressed in official uniform, and the man beside him. They looked somewhat familiar.

Lu Zhan saw Su Yuejian's confusion and said, "This is Wang Yun, the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple and the eldest son of the Wang family's patriarch."

Hearing this, Su Yue suddenly realized. No wonder he looked familiar. The man's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Wang Qingyi and Wang Jingcheng, but he had a more cold and stern look.

Wang Yun had met Su Yuejian at the palace banquet before, but he had never had the chance to speak to her. He bowed and saluted, "Princess Minghua."

"Cousin Wang is polite."

Su Yuejianfu saluted him and looked at the officers and soldiers coming up behind them with a fierce momentum, puzzled for a moment.

"I wonder what you are doing?"

Du Shi was also extremely confused. Wasn’t it just a case of poisoning?

How did it alarm the people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple?

Lin Quan looked at the person who came, and his already frightened heart beat even faster, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

Lu Zhan glanced at Lin Mengran's body, looked at Lin Quan's trembling hands, and said in a cold voice,

"I, under the orders of the Emperor, am collaborating with the Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate the corruption and bribery of Minister of Revenue Lin Quan."

"The Emperor has issued an oral order: those who undermine the imperial order and commit corruption and abuse of power will not be tolerated! An immediate and thorough investigation will be conducted into the Ministry of Revenue's office. If any violations of the law are found, they will be severely punished!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Quan's fat body shook violently, his face turned pale, and his legs suddenly became weak and trembled.

At Wang Yun's command, the officers and soldiers quickly surrounded the mansion and entered to search.

Soon, the guard handed a thick stack of account books to Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan looked at the shameful transactions on it and sneered.

"Minister Lin, you've been eating really well these years."

Lin Quan's trembling body suddenly collapsed to the ground, "No, your subordinate... spare my life! Spare my life!"

"Take him away!" Lu Zhan ordered coldly.

Mrs. Lin, who was still in grief, suffered another heavy blow. She never expected that Lin Quan would be so greedy and embezzle money and property behind her back.

Looking at the endless boxes of gold, silver and treasures, Mrs. Lin closed her eyes in despair.

The Lin family is completely finished...

What awaits them is confiscation of property and exile...

At this time, the servant of the Taifu Mansion came running over with a happy face.

"Princess! Princess! The old lady is awake! The old lady is awake!"
