Chapter 1798: Chapter 1791: Chu Heng Breaks Ties with the Marquis’s Manor

Chu Heng was born and declared as the Crown Prince, gentle and harmonious since childhood, never revealing even a trace of anger to outsiders.

But today, his fury overwhelmed everyone at the Marquis’s Manor, including his uncle Su Hao, who all knelt before him trembling with fear.

A shadow lay over Chu Heng’s exquisite features, his gaze sweeping through the people below like a sharp sword, "Speak! Who conspired with others to abduct Yue’er!"

His authority and pressure made those kneeling below him seem not as his kin but as criminals!

Su Hao was the first to kowtow and confess, "This humble minister was foolish, unaware that the emperor had left the palace, disappearing outside the gates of the Marquis’s Manor. It was the manor’s oversight; the manor admits guilt! Please, Your Highness, quell your anger!"

Su Chenyang then bowed his head, "Your Highness, calm your anger. Although the people of the manor are not acquainted with Miss Yue, everyone is loyal to Your Highness and the imperial court, never daring to betray Your Highness or act against Your Highness’s wishes.

Your Highness, please discern!"

In Chu Heng’s eyes lay millennium-old ice, with an imposing aura pressing heavily on Su Chenyang, making it hard for him to breathe.

Su Baojun fearfully grasped Xiao Yuntang’s hand, leaning beside her and whispered, "Who is this Miss Yue? Crown Prince brother has never been so angry; he’s never made us kneel at the manor before..."

Xiao Yuntang held her hand gently in comfort, "It must be the girl His Highness took from the manor that day."

Although Xiao Yuntang had only seen the girl disguised as a maid once, she couldn’t forget her face after seeing Chu Heng bring her back to the palace.

At night, she often dreamt of that girl, bold and uninhibited with Chu Heng. Awaking from such dreams left her chest with a pain so acute it felt like being torn apart.

Su Baojun was indignant, "Just an unfamiliar girl, after all. We are Crown Prince brother’s family; he pampers us the most. How could he treat us like this for the sake of a woman..."

"What are you talking about?" Chu Heng’s voice came through, overpowering and sharp like a knife piercing Xiao Yuntang’s heart.

Xiao Yuntang’s chest tightened, and she immediately kowtowed, "This humble maid was merely chatting with Baojun. Please, my cousin prince... Your Highness, forgive us!"

As Xiao Yuntang finished speaking, a tear involuntarily rolled down her cheek.

Su Baojun, angry enough to want to defend her, was stopped with bated breath upon meeting Chu Heng’s gaze, scared into trembling, tears involuntarily fall, "I... I didn’t say anything."

"Baojun! Do not be insolent!"

Wu Jinyan nervously clenched her handkerchief and sharply rebuked.

The sisters usually enjoyed Chu Heng’s indulgence, behaving freely before him, but they forgot Chu Heng was the sole Crown Prince of the Great Cheng Dynasty, whose power was no less formidable than that of his father, Chu Yihan.

At this moment...

Wu Jinyan feared he would become a character even more formidable than Chu Yihan.

He treated them with familial affection... Yet, when he wielded the stature and aura of the Crown Prince, anyone at the Marquis’s Manor was but dust in his eyes!

Your Highness, these girls, spoiled since childhood, lack propriety and have offended Your Highness. Please, Your Highness, forgive them!" Su Han quickly pleaded for her nieces.

Chu Heng’s gaze fell upon her, and Su Han felt as though an icy mountain pressed down upon her back, heavy and cold.

With an icy voice full of pressure, Chu Heng spoke, "Song Huaining."

Song Huaining had been quietly kneeling, without raising her head or speaking. Suddenly mentioned, panic flashed in her eyes, "Crown Prince... This nobleman’s daughter is present."
