Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 442: Cannon Fodder in Stepmother's Story 14

At this time, Emperor Jingwu had completely lost his patience.

He waved his arms impatiently and ordered coldly, "Drag him away and torture him severely. Make sure he tells the truth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two burly and serious-looking guards quickly walked out from the darkness.

Without saying a word, they walked straight to Liu Yong, covered his mouth mercilessly, then picked him up like a chicken and dragged him out of the hall.

Liu Yong struggled desperately, trying to break free from the guards.

His face was filled with horror, and his eyes were fixed on the high and mighty Emperor Jingwu, filled with despair and pleading.

But no matter how he resisted, he could not change his fate of facing severe punishment.

Liu Yong was ruthlessly taken out of the hall. He could never have imagined that just saying such an insignificant word for the third prince would lead to such serious consequences.

Liu Yong was filled with regret and wished he could turn back time so he could take back what he had said.

He underestimated the degree of Emperor Jingwu's inner anger, and also overestimated the status and weight of the third prince in the emperor's heart.

Now that I have ended up like this, I really regret it.

If I had controlled my mouth and stayed out of this matter, why would it have come to this?

Liu Yong's face was pale and full of regret.

However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and no amount of regret will help.

Just after Liu Yong was ruthlessly dragged away by the guards, Emperor Jingwu sat on the dragon throne with a gloomy face. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Go check!"

The voice was not loud, but it was full of majesty and coldness.

As soon as he finished speaking, a low and short response came from a dark corner in the hall: "Yes."

Then there was no sound, as if the person who responded had never appeared.

Emperor Jingwu's index finger tapped the armrest of the dragon throne again and again, the rhythm sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

His eyes flickered, revealing an elusive look between the flickering ones.

He murmured to himself: "Xiao Chengyu..."

Zhenguogong Mansion, Ruijin Garden.

After learning that Feng Zhining had unfortunately left a scar on her face, Feng could no longer sit peacefully on the couch.

Especially when she heard that Feng Zhining had been crying all day and looked haggard because of this matter, her heart was broken and she felt extremely distressed.

"Mammy, if I send someone to visit Zhining right now, will the prince be unhappy?"

Feng lowered her voice and asked Nanny Chang, who had served her for many years, with a worried look on her face.

Nanny Chang looked at the lady who was in deep turmoil but with a look of determination in her eyes. She could not help but sigh inwardly and said softly:

"Madam, please think twice! My cousin has plotted against our Fifth Miss. Even if the Crown Prince is magnanimous and doesn't take it to heart, I'm afraid the Fifth Miss will never be able to heal the trauma."

"Let's not talk about anything else. Just say that over the past two days, Fifth Miss has finally gotten a little closer to you..."

Having said this, Nanny Chang paused and looked at the lady earnestly, as if she wanted to see her true thoughts deep in her heart through her eyes.

My wife has always been sensible and decisive when dealing with other matters.

However, once his cousin's affairs were involved, he became like a different person, frequently losing his sense of propriety and judgment.

It seemed that in the eyes of the lady, everything in the world had to obey the cousin's wishes, and putting the cousin first in everything was the right way.

Nanny Chang could never fully understand the lady's strange mentality.

Fortunately, over the years, although the lady has been particularly fond of the cousin, she has not done anything too out of line, and there have never been any major conflicts between the girls in the mansion and the cousin.

Therefore, Nanny Chang had never spoken out to persuade Feng before.

However, the situation this time was completely different. The mistake committed by the cousin was so serious that it was intolerable to the entire Zhenguo Mansion.

If Madam is still as worried and concerned about her cousin as before, without considering the feelings of her family at all.

If this continues, I'm afraid that Madam will end up being abandoned by everyone!

Thinking of this, Nanny Chang couldn't help but remind her again, "Madam, please think twice! Don't let your momentary weakness ruin your relationship with the young lady."

Feng sat on the chair, frowning slightly, and the figure of Yuan Wei, who had frequently come to pay her respects in the past two days, appeared in her mind.

As she thought about it, her expression gradually relaxed, her originally tense face relaxed a little, and her eyes gradually regained clarity.

"That's all..."

Feng sighed softly and said slowly, "Let Taoyue go back. Never let her set foot in this mansion again. I really don't want to hear anything about Zhining anymore."

Knowing that it would be impossible for me to see her or help her again, why should I bother listening to her troubles?

It just adds to the worries.

Feng shook her head slightly, as if trying to get rid of all these annoying thoughts.

"Yes, ma'am."

Nanny Chang, who was standing by, responded respectfully, then turned and left the room.

The moment she stepped out of the room, the expression on her face suddenly became serious and sharp.

Despite all the precautions, I still couldn't stop Taoyue from running over to complain.

It seems that these little rascals in the mansion need a good beating!

Tao Yue was no longer a member of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, yet she managed to sneak into the mansion by relying on some of her past connections, and even caused trouble in front of the lady!

They completely ignored the orders of the prince and his wife. Even the cousin was forbidden to enter the mansion, so how could they allow the maidservants around her to come and go freely?

It's lawless!

Yuan Wei, who was walking leisurely from a distance, happened to see Nanny Chang, who had an angry look on her face and was as fierce as a tiger, and she couldn't help but feel curious.

She turned to Duan Yue beside her and asked, "Isn't that angry Madam Chang who's by Mother's side? Look at her expression. What happened?"

Duan Yue glanced in that direction and saw a figure walking hurriedly away.

The man walked hurriedly, as if he had something extremely urgent to deal with.

Although it was just a quick glimpse, Duan Yue was able to quickly determine that this person was Nanny Chang with her keen observation skills and familiarity with everyone in the mansion.

"Miss, that's Madam Chang."

Yuan Wei raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had thought of something interesting.

I heard before that Feng Zhining's maid came into the mansion.

Nanny Chang is so anxious, is she going to see that girl?

But why such an expression?

"It must be something the Crown Prince's wife ordered!"

Obviously Duan Yue also thought of Tao Yue's purpose of coming here.

And the reason why Nanny Chang behaved like this was definitely due to Feng's attitude.

If this is true, then Feng Zhining is definitely at the end of her rope.

Yuan Wei's mood became noticeably better.
