The atmosphere at the Xue family's house was solemn, with servants constantly coming in and out, making people feel heavy-hearted.

Old Master Yu brought Yu Qi and others to directly interrogate Cui Si and others.

You wouldn't know until the trial, but this one revealed several murders.

Record the confession, sign it, and let the jailer take a look at it to keep your breath.

As for Miss Cui, she had already lost her mind after watching several people being tried and tortured.

Caiping was kept in solitary confinement in the women's prison, and was also under the arrangement of Zhou, so naturally she was not allowed to have an easy time.

The person who delivered the letter was Yu San himself. He rode his horse non-stop all the way and it was already the hour of Xu when he arrived at King Fu.

Yu San immediately revealed his identity and asked the servant to go and inform Prince Fu.

When the servant saw the visitor, he dared not delay and invited him to the side hall for tea, then hurriedly reported the matter to the internal supervisor.

Eunuch Qian was off duty today, a rare occasion, so he went to bed early. Suddenly, someone came to report that an important guest was coming, and he felt a little annoyed.

"Come in and answer."

"Hello, General Qian. It's not my fault for disturbing you. It's just that the visitor outside said he was General Guide and wanted to see Prince Fu for something important."

Qian Shen frowned. General Guide was a third-rank military official. What urgent matter could he have?

"Did he say anything?"

"No, he just said to give it to the prince and explain it in detail when he meets the prince."

As he said that, the servant handed over the identity token. Qian Shen took it and looked at it carefully, and was suddenly startled.

He put on his clothes and went out, but suddenly turned back and ordered, "Go and invite everyone to the flower hall for tea, and ask the kitchen to prepare some hot soup and hot rice. I will go and invite the prince."

"Manager Qian, you're not on duty today, so why are you here now?"

The eunuch on duty saw him coming and hurried forward to ask respectfully.

Qian Shen sorted out his description before asking, "Is the prince asleep?"

"Just went to bed."

"You go down first. I have something to report to the prince."

The young eunuch stepped aside respectfully.

Qian Shen walked up and knocked on the door three times, then waited on the side for the message.

The candlelight in the room gradually brightened, and after a while, the person inside the room finally spoke: "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, General Yu San has come to visit and said he has something important to discuss with Your Highness."

Prince Fu was in a daze for a while, and it took him a while to remember who Yu San was.

He quickly asked someone to change his clothes, and as soon as he left the room, he asked, "Why is he here? What's the matter?"

"I don't know. I have already asked someone to lead him to the flower hall to wait."

Prince Fu was a little annoyed. None of the people with the surname Yu were easy to talk to. They came so late, so it must be a big deal.

He thought again, "I haven't done anything bad in recent years. Brother Wang won't ask anyone to come and scold him, right?"

He is the younger brother of the current emperor and has been loved by his brother since childhood, so after the emperor ascended the throne, he gave him the richest Funan Prefecture as his fiefdom.

But he has behaved like a second-generation rich kid since he was a child, and his royal brother has to send people to warn him from time to time.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out where it happened, so he went to the flower hall.

"General San, you've had a hard time along the way. It's really tiring in this cold winter."

As soon as he entered the room, Prince Fu immediately greeted him warmly, then turned around and asked, "General San has come from afar and must not have eaten yet. Have you asked the kitchen to prepare some hot soup?"

Qian Shen: "Your Highness, it's ready."

Yu San saw him coming and stood up and saluted: "Yu San greets His Royal Highness Prince Fu, may His Royal Highness Prince Fu live a thousand years."

Prince Fu took a few steps forward, held Yu Sanzhi back and said, "No need to be so polite."

"General San, what's the urgent matter that brought you here this time?"

Yu San didn't waste any more words and continued to explain in detail. "Please ask the prince to call Cui Changshi to come and return to Ruyi County with me."

Although Prince Fu was reluctant to take charge of affairs and was somewhat lazy, he never did anything stupid like abusing his power to oppress others.

All the officials, maids and wives in the mansion knew his rules.

"Qian Shen, send someone to fetch Cui Ming for me, and have someone fetch Wang Fu."

Prince Fu looked unhappy, thinking it was his brother's problem, but it turned out to be his own.

"General San, is this true?"

"Your Highness, this is absolutely true. We saw it with our own eyes. When I arrived, we still didn't know whether the children were alive or dead."

"What did the old man say?"

Prince Fu carefully looked at Yu San's expression. Who was he afraid of? He was also afraid of the old man of the Yu family.

The old man beat him so hard that he couldn't get out of bed for three days, and he would tremble whenever he saw him.

"My foster father is extremely angry, Your Highness, you don't know. These Chen siblings are direct disciples of my fifth and seventh brothers, and are also the adopted daughters of the county lady. These children are also deeply loved by the old man and his family. Normally, when they do something wrong, the old man would not bear to scold them."

When Prince Fu heard this, his eyes widened and he felt mixed emotions.

Is this still Mr. Yu? What are the origins of these Chen children?

I thought they came for the two children of the Xue family, but how come they came for the children of the Chen family?

No, why is there a county lady? Could it be~~~~

"Whose county lady is the wife of Ruyi County Magistrate Xue Jingtang?"

"The eldest daughter of the Duke of Huguo's mansion, Zhou Yuerong, County Master Zhou."

Prince Fu was suddenly at a loss for words. The Cui family always caused him trouble, and that woman was a shrew.

He couldn't think about it anymore. When he thought about the past days, he got a headache again.

I finally got a fiefdom and moved away from the capital, so how come we meet again?

Why is he so unlucky? Why did Xue Jingtang serve as an official in the county under his jurisdiction and bring that fierce woman here?

Yu San watched the changing expressions on Prince Fu's face, which was very interesting, and said nothing more.

After the maid brought the hot soup, he thanked her and drank it hastily.

He hadn't had a single sip of hot soup that day and was really cold and hungry.

When Wang Fu arrived, he saw Yu San eating silently and Prince Fu with a sullen look on his face, daydreaming.

"Meet the Prince"

Prince Fu came back to his senses and saw that it was the prince's tutor. He hurried forward and respectfully invited the person in.

After Yu San greeted him, he continued to eat.

"My Lord, what happened?"

Prince Fu told Yu San everything he had said.

"Master Wang, what do you think we should do now? Cui Ming is a very kind person, but how could he raise such a despicable girl?"

Wang Fu looked at Prince Fu, then at Yu San, "Your Highness, this is no small matter. This is probably not the first time that the eldest daughter of the Cui family has behaved in this way."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Ruyi County with them. I will not allow Cui Ming to show favoritism and I will also give an explanation to Mr. Yu and the other victims."

Yu San quickly finished his meal, cleaned his mouth, and said, "Yu San thanks Master Wang, but I'm afraid my adoptive father will have to wait a long time. Cui Changshi and I will ride on horseback ahead tonight, and Master Wang, you can follow later."

Yu San couldn't wait to get it back, but he couldn't let Wang Fu suffer with him. Besides, he was too old to withstand the hardship.

"Okay, you and Cui Ming will go tonight. Tell the old man that as long as the matter is true, we will deal with it according to the law. As for Cui Ming, I will also punish him for not managing his family properly."

Prince Fu couldn't stand Yu San anymore and wished he would leave immediately.

He also sent people to prepare dry food and other supplies and change to a good horse. Before Cui Ming entered the palace, he was told that the prince asked him to accompany General Yu San to Ruyi County without delay.

Cui Ming's heart was as loud as thunder in the sky. He was afraid, anxious and scared. After hearing these words, he became even more anxious like an ant on a hot pan.

He wanted to ask someone, but no one else knew. Only a servant in the mansion who was on good terms with him told him secretly.

"Master Cui, I'm afraid this matter is related to your eldest daughter, and the royal tutor will be here soon, so you need to be more cautious."

Yu San was waiting there early with the horse in hand. When he saw him, he bowed and got on the horse without saying a word to him.

Cui Ming wanted to say a few words, but he didn't know where to start.
