He didn’t want Su Yingxue to end up like Long Shuli, caught up in life-and-death whirlpools.
Su Yingxue understood some of Su Qingzhi’s concerns, but her experience with Chu Yihan couldn’t be explained in a few words.
Since she couldn’t explain it now, she might as well calm Su Qingzhi down first.
She helped Su Qingzhi back to his room to rest. “Grandpa, don’t worry. 1 understand what you mean.”
“You’ve become much more sensible now. Grandpa is very reassured about you.” Su Qingzhi patted her head, his face full of affection.
In the prince’s mansion of Yong’an County, Chu Xiaotian returned to the manor in a daze. When he walked into the hall, he could still hear Madam Sheng’s cursing.
The Old Regional Prince had already gotten calluses on his ears from the noise. When he saw Chu Xiaotian return, he hurriedly went forward to show concern for him. “Son, why did you come back so late today? You were at the Marquis’s Manor…”
The Old Regional Prince wanted to know if Su Han had a dispute with Chu Xiaotian in the Marquis’s Mansion after she was kidnapped.
However, he saw Liang Jin standing behind Chu Xiaotian.
The Old Regional Prince raised his eyebrows. “Lord Liang, why are you here?”
After Liang Jin greeted the Old Regional Prince, he went straight to business. “Old Regional Prince, this is the complaint that Miss Su Han has submitted to the Capital Prefecture. She wants to break off all ties with the Prince of Yong’an County. I have been ordered to investigate. Please cooperate with me.”
“Break off all ties? This…”
The Old Regional Prince was shocked.
“What? Break off all ties? That little wretch has grown up. Did she dare to break off all ties with my son? Does she want to die?”
Madam Sheng cursed. She didn’t look like a noblewoman at all.
The Old Regional Prince quickly stopped Madam Sheng in front of outsiders. “Enough. Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough? Lord Liang is the governor of the Capital Prefecture, and even he has come to our residence! You’re still fooling around!”
“How am I fooling around!” Madam Sheng’s face was sharp and mean.
She couldn’t stand the Old Regional Prince scolding her. She had never been favored since she was young, and the Old Regional Prince didn’t treat her well. She tortured Su Han because she was favored by the Old Regional Prince, who praised her a lot.
Her son also protected her and treated her like a treasure.
Su Han got all the love that she couldn’t get in her life. How could she not be jealous?
She didn’t vent all her anger on Su Han.
“Mother…”
Chu Xiaotian’s voice was low and depressed. “What did you do to Su Han when I was not around?”
“I… What can I do to her? That little wretch, did she complain to you again?” Madam Sheng rolled up her sleeves guiltily, but she was still trying to force herself.
“Old Regional Prince, Madam Sheng, can you assist me in handling this case? 1 want to gather the servants in the residence to make some inquiries.” Liang Jin asked.
He knew that this was the best time to interrogate the Regional Prince’s Mansion.
The Old Regional Prince had no choice but to gather all the servants and let them accept Liang Jin’s questioning.
Liang Jin’s ability to judge people was unparalleled in the entire Jiang Du City.
He went to Min Jia’s courtyard and collected the stolen goods that had not been cleaned up in the pool. After sealing them, he immediately wanted to interrogate Madam Sheng and Min Jia.
However, Chu Xiaotian came to tell him, “Lord Liang, it’s already late today. My mother and sister are both unwell. Could you please make an exception and interrogate them in two days?”
“No, Your Highness has already witnessed my handling of the case at the Marquis’s Manor. In the matter of Miss Han’s assassination, we must act swiftly to apprehend the true culprit,” Liang Jin refused firmly..
