Chapter 1799 -1792: The Crown Prince’s Wrath

“Have you been in contact with strangers recently?” Chu Heng calmly analyzed and quickly thought that Xiao Yuntang and Su Baojun had been in the Marquis’s Manor for a long time. Both of them were focused on him and rarely engaged in activities outside the manor, making it impossible for them to be used.

But Song Huaining was lively by nature, not fond of traditional female crafts, and liked to go out. She recently had conflicts with people from the prince’s mansion in Yong’an County, which might have given others the opportunity to exploit her!

On Song Huaining’s round cheeks, there was a look of bewilderment, “As a nobleman’s daughter… I don’t know how to answer!”

“Ning’er, what are you talking about? Quickly tell Your Highness about the people you’ve met recently!” Su Han’s eyes showed urgency as she hurriedly reminded her.

Song Huaining began to reply truthfully, mentioning everyone she had met in the past month along with their names and identities.

At first, Su Han felt nothing amiss. However, after listening to Song Huaining, she noticed that Song Huaining had failed to mention her sweetheart, a scholar named Rong Ning.

Su Han’s heart sank at once.

Song Huaining was chubby, which made others easily perceive her as naive and simple, with an additional touch of foolishness.

Even when she lied, she concealed it beneath this layer of foolishness.

Others might not be able to notice!

But who was Chu Heng?

From a young age, he interacted deceitfully with Zhuo Junli, even Zhuo Junli didn’t know his true nature, so how could he not detect Song Huaining’s lies?

He already had the answer in mind. He ordered Su Chenyang to pursue the matter while simultaneously commanding, “Xiao Yuntang is deeply suspicious; take her to the palace and detain her in the dungeon!”

Xiao Yuntang’s heart shivered, and she widened her eyes in disbelief, “Crown Prince…”

He was actually going to detain her?

“Crown Prince brother!” Su Baojun immediately called out, hugging Xiao Yuntang, “Tangtang is a delicately raised girl; how can you lock her in the dungeon! Crown Prince brother, you can’t do this to Tangtang!

Tangtang is devoted to you!”

“Su Baojun, shut up! Stop speaking nonsense!” Su Hao turned back and angrily rebuked Su Baojun.

Su Baojun had never been scolded by her father, and she was immediately frightened into tears, eyes red with grievance, “Daddy, please plead on her behalf! Tangtang is the most obedient among us; she definitely has nothing to do with this matter, Daddy, don’t let Crown Prince brother lock her up! Tangtang will be scared!”

She held onto Xiao Yuntang, refusing to let the Imperial Guards take her away.

Su Hao, mindful of Su Miaoyan, was worried and hesitant about how to plead, only to hear Chu Heng say, “Since that’s the case, you can accompany her.”

“Someone, take them both away and detain them in the dungeon! Do not allow anyone to visit!”

With a wave of his hand, Su Baojun and Xiao Yuntang were tied up and dragged away by the Imperial Guards.

Wu Jinyan’s face turned pale instantly, “Baojun…”

She wanted to plead with Chu Heng but didn’t expect him to leave without considering family ties, sweeping his robe as he departed, warning Su Hao as he left, “Marquis Su, after your diligent service, please rest at home for now; there’s no need to attend court.”

This was a disguised house arrest!

The Marquis of Martial South’s Manor had been favored by the Saint for twenty years, never receiving such cold treatment; suddenly, everyone in the manor was on edge.

Fortunately, Wu Jinyan was a calm and steady mistress of the house; she reassured everyone in the manor not to venture out easily, focusing on their duties within the manor.

But she was still very worried about Su Baojun, gripping Su Hao’s hand tightly, her eyes red, “Hubby, what should we do about the children? Do you know the background of that Miss Yue?”

From the moment she appeared, she disrupted the relationship between Chu Heng and the Marquis’s Manor, making the manor uneasy.

Su Hao shook his head, clenching his fist tightly, “I know nothing about the young lady; now we can only rely on Chenyang, hoping he can quickly find that lady.”
