Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

After her initial joy, Mu Shilan came to her senses and looked at her surroundings.

Startled, he hid in the arms of the woman beside him.

Mu Shilan stammered, "Aunt, it's so dirty here!"

Gu Xingzhi tenderly pulled her into her arms and gently patted her back.

"Shilan is not afraid!"

Knowing that she couldn't change anything now, Gu Xingzhi didn't know how to comfort her.

Mu Qingwan glanced at her cousin, who was nestled in her mother's arms and acting coquettishly, and her eyes held a hint of envy.

Mu Qiyang walked to his daughter's side and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Suddenly, Mu Shilan noticed Lin Xiaoxiao standing to the side.

He broke free from Gu Xingzhi's embrace and roared at Lin Xiaoxiao like a madman.

"It's all your fault. If you hadn't burned that letter, Brother Junze wouldn't have ignored me."

The people in the prison had no idea what had happened between them.

Song Wenjing asked, even more puzzled, "What letter?"

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could explain, Mu Shilan said aggressively, "Naturally, it was Brother Junze who gave her the letter."

But instead of checking it, she actually set it on fire.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at her disdainfully: "Since the things are for me, how I want to do with them is none of your business!"

"How can it be unrelated? If it weren't for you, how would I have ended up here?" Mu Shilan shouted hoarsely.

Other exiled prisoners who were at odds with the Song family could no longer stand by and watch.

After all, they were all imprisoned here by Chu Junze, whom Mu Shilan mentioned.

"Why are you so bossy, girl?"

"That's right. If that Third Prince really cared about you, why would he take his anger out on you because of a letter?"

Mu Shilan knew perfectly well, but she simply refused to believe it.

"What do you know? I'm not like you."

Once Brother Junze understands my current situation, he will definitely release everyone in the Mu family.

Then she looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and said fiercely, "You bitch, if you hadn't pretended to be high and mighty, why would I be here?"

"I'll teach you a lesson!"

As Mu Shilan spoke, she walked fiercely toward Lin Xiaoxiao.

But as she raised her hand, Lin Xiaoxiao grabbed her wrist.

What followed was Lin Xiaoxiao attacking her from both sides!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the cell.

Lin Xiaoxiao was still angry when she saw her swollen face, thinking about how she had just spewed nonsense.

He grabbed a handful of straw and, ignoring Mu Shilan's struggles, stuffed it into her mouth.

"Stop!"

Gu Xingzhi frowned and grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's shoulders, trying to pull her away.

She had previously gone to the battlefield with Mu Qiyang, and she also witnessed Lin Xiaoxiao hitting Mu Shilan.

At this moment, the strength in his hands was not small.

Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at her with disdain: "Why didn't you stop her when she came over and hit someone?"

Gu Xingzhi was taken aback, not expecting Lin Xiaoxiao to question her in front of so many people.

But he still said coldly, "I don't need to do anything to explain myself to a little girl like you!"

Lin Xiaoxiao bent her arm and elbowed Gu Xingzhi hard in the shoulder.

He broke free from her control.

Lin Xiaoxiao coldly looked at Gu Xingzhi, who was clutching her shoulder and looking furious.

"Then I don't need you to interfere with what I do!"

Although Mu Qiyang also felt that Mu Shilan had gone too far, she was, after all, someone from his own household.

He looked at Song Huai'an and said coldly, "You've really found a good wife for Wen Jing."

"She's acting like this, don't you care?"

Song Huai'an glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, then looked at Prince Duan with a troubled expression and said, "Would it be inappropriate for me to help Xiaoxiao?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Qiyang even began to doubt his own ears, finding it hard to believe that the old man would say such a thing.

"You old rascal, why are you pretending to be confused here?"

"Does your daughter-in-law even need your help?"

Song Huai'an glanced at Mu Shilan, whose head was about to be beaten into a pig's head, and said somewhat guiltily.

"But it's not appropriate for us to interfere in matters between girls!"

Mu Qiyang glanced at the old man who had gotten the benefit but was still acting innocent.

It seems I'm almost not recognizing him anymore.

He was extremely strict with the education of his children.

Mu Qiyang glanced at him: "When did you become so shameless?"

Song Huai'an sighed: "I've just come to terms with many things!"

Mu Qiyang thought about how they had been framed and how their families had been implicated.

He also sighed.

After being hit, Mu Shilan realized that she couldn't beat Lin Xiaoxiao.

She squatted by the wooden fence, hoping that Chu Junze would rescue her and then teach her a good lesson.

Gu Xingzhi stayed by Mu Shilan's side, recalling how the Song family had protected Lin Xiaoxiao earlier.

He felt immense resentment.

But deep down, she was a little envious. Lin Xiaoxiao not only gained the approval of her in-laws, but also received their protection.

The next day, outside Yuheng City!

The news was spreading everywhere that Chu Junze had imprisoned a convict for his beloved Lin Wanwan, disregarding the wrath of the heavens.

"I heard that the Lin family are the ones His Majesty spoke of as unlucky."

"This third prince actually did something so crazy for the Lin family's daughter?"

"You don't know, do you? Last night, the Third Prince imprisoned Prince Duan of Yuheng City!"

"What? Who told you that? Do you really believe it?"

The man turned around in surprise, but the speaker was nowhere to be seen.

He turned to the people at his table and asked, "Did you hear that just now?"

"I heard it, but I don't know if it's true or not!"

"It's truly disheartening to see the Third Prince so blinded by love."

At this moment, a burly man in the restaurant slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"So what if he is the third prince? This is Yuheng. Let's go and demand an explanation."

Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Shadow One waved his hand and shouted, "Count me in!"

Shadow Two, standing beside him, was startled.

He then followed the example of Shadow One, stirring up everyone's emotions.

"Alright, let's go! Let's get justice for our prince!"

A large group of people walked out of the restaurant, and the people on the street had no idea what had happened.

But those who just wanted to watch the excitement also went up.

The area in front of Chu Junze's residence was instantly filled with people.

He had just finished breakfast when he heard a commotion outside.

He then sent Jian Shu, who was by his side, out to investigate.

A short while later, Jian Shu returned with a grim expression.

Seeing that Jian Shu remained silent, Chu Junze glanced at him.

"Tell me, what exactly happened outside?"

Jian Shu knelt down and bowed his head, saying, "It's just some lowly commoners causing trouble. They... they're clamoring for Your Highness to release Prince Duan and the others!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Junze instantly crushed the teacup in his hand into pieces.

"How dare they threaten me!"

He then narrowed his eyes and said with a cold smile, "Fine, it's just releasing them, right? I can grant their wish."

Let them see how the once high and mighty Prince Duan became a prisoner.
