An ordinary person would be severely injured, if not killed, after a trip to the Zhenfu Division. Although the Zhenfu Division would not torture Princess Zhaoyun, a pampered girl like Princess Zhaoyun had never seen the horrors within the Zhenfu Division.

Upon seeing Xie Bohuai, Princess Zhaoyun's first reaction was to question him about what he had taken a liking to Ye Wanning. However, she was surprised to hear that Xie Bohuai was going to take her to the Zhenfu Division.

Princess Hui frowned instantly. "Lord Xie, have you misunderstood something?"

"The town government never wrongs any innocent person when handling affairs." Xie Bohuai's cold voice made everyone speculate about what Princess Zhaoyun had done.

While it may be said that Princess Zhaoyun is willful, capricious, and unreasonable, her royal lineage will not have a significant impact on her.

But if it gets involved with the town government office, then it's a different story.

Which girl who enters the town government office can have a good reputation?

Even Ye Wanning was surprised. The matter of the bandits had been over for a long time, so why was Xie Bohuai bringing it up now? She was afraid of implicating Jiang Si, but then she thought that even if Princess Zhaoyun told her everything, with Xie Bohuai present, it wouldn't get out. If that was the case, why did Xie Bohuai take Princess Zhaoyun to the town government office?

Ye Wanning couldn't figure it out, and the others were wondering as well. What exactly had the Prince Hui's Mansion done to offend Xie Bohuai, causing him to embarrass the Prince Hui's Mansion time and time again?

Princess Hui could no longer maintain her composure. "Xie Bohuai, Zhaoyun is the Emperor's granddaughter!"

"A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner, or is the princess consort planning to publicly protect the princess?" Xie Bohuai suddenly laughed, which was even more terrifying than when he wasn't laughing.

Princess Hui was no match for Xie Bohuai, but she also knew that she couldn't let Xie Bohuai take her daughter away.

"If you want to take people away, you need to produce evidence, otherwise..."

"Whether I have evidence or not, doesn't Your Highness know perfectly well?" Xie Bohuai raised his voice, interrupting Princess Hui.

Princess Hui blocked Xie Bohuai's way, refusing to give way.

Princess Longyu, who had come upon hearing the news, found the scene quite amusing. "Zhaoyun, what have you done now that even Lord Xie won't give you face?"

"Aunt, I didn't do anything!" Princess Zhaoyun was extremely aggrieved. "I just slapped Ye Wanning. She's the daughter of a minor official. What's wrong with me hitting her?"

"Shut up!" Princess Hui turned around and slapped her daughter across the face. "How long are you going to keep this up?"

This was the first time Princess Hui had ever hit Princess Zhaoyun since she was a child. "Mother, you...you hit me?"

Princess Longyu came over with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. Zhaoyun is still young and doesn't understand. Lord Xie, please give me some face. If there's anything, let's talk in my tent."

“There’s no need to go to the camp. But since the princess has spoken, I shouldn’t disturb your banquet, so I’ll take my leave.” Xie Bohuai paused, “But Your Highness, would you like to take Princess Zhaoyun to the town government office yourself, or should I take people to Prince Hui’s residence to report the case? The choice is yours, and I will wait for you outside the polo field.”

This shows they won't give up until they achieve their goal.

Princess Hui was furious. After seeing Xie Bohuai leave like that, she dragged Zhaoyun away as well.

Before leaving, she stopped beside Xie Lingyi and said in a low voice, "You come with me too!" She couldn't touch Xie Bohuai, and Xie Lingyi was also a member of the Xie family!

Xie Lingyi's heart was in her throat. She didn't want to go with them, but she didn't see her aunt.

At this moment, Madam Xie did not appear. She was happy to watch the second branch of the family have their fun. Xie Lingyi loved to compete for everything, and seeing her daughter marry into the royal family, she wanted to compete for everything. Today, Princess Hui had been humiliated, and she would definitely make Xie Lingyi pay.

However, the eldest daughter of the Ye family is quite interesting. She doesn't think that Xie Bohuai only embarrassed Princess Zhaoyun in public because he was in a bad mood.

After Madam Xie had thought this through, she waited until Princess Hui and Xie Lingyi left before emerging from the back of the crowd. Just as she was about to try and get some information out of Ye Wanning, Princess Longyu beat her to it.

Princess Longyu looked Ye Wanning up and down and praised, "She is truly a rare beauty. If I were a man, I would also be moved by such a face." She added, "I apologize for my poor hospitality today, which has caused you distress. I have some excellent ointment; I will take some back with me later."

Ye Wanning forced herself to thank her, and after Princess Longyu left, her palms were sweaty.

She couldn't stay there any longer. She glanced at her sister-in-law, who immediately understood and led her and her two younger sisters away.

"Princess Zhaoyun has gone too far! I really want to know what Lord Xie took her to the Zhenfu Division for?" Ye Wanyu said angrily as they left the crowded area.

"Wanyu, this isn't home yet," Ye Wanning reminded her. She was thinking about Princess Zhaoyun's situation, knowing it would only create more trouble.

Hey.

Princess Zhaoyun is not Zhou Yu; she has a favored father, so it will be very difficult to prevent her from rising in status.

However, since things have come to this point, we can only deal with it as it comes.

Madam Lin glanced at Ye Wanning and sighed, "What's going on? We just came here to have some fun, but we have to be humiliated like this?" If Father-in-law were here, things wouldn't have come to this.

"Sister-in-law, don't be sad for me. I'm fine. Right now, the most anxious people are probably Xie Lingyi and Princess Hui." Ye Wanning smiled.

Ye Wanhua whispered, "Princess Hui will definitely not give up on Princess Zhaoyun. Miss Xie is going to be in trouble."

Ye Wanning looked at her third sister approvingly, not expecting her to be so thoughtful. "Indeed, even if she goes to the town government office, it will be Xie Lingyi who goes in the end."

Speaking of the town government office, Ye Wanning saw Xie Bohuai standing by the carriage.

Lin called out "Master Xie," while Xie Bohuai addressed her as "Miss Ye."

Ye Wanning hesitated for a moment, then took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully.

Seeing Ye Wanning's methodical movements, Xie Bohuai's dark eyes flickered with emotion, but he quickly suppressed it. "Are you afraid of me too?"
