At this mont, he held the corpse tenderly yet sorrowfully, no one dared to approach, only hearing his painful sobs and extrely remorseful cries.
Prince Yong and others hurried over, shocked and furious at the sight: "Arin, what are you doing?! Hurry up and go complete the marriage!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ren’s eyes flashed coldly, his trembling gaze like a knife edge, suddenly roaring in anger.
"It was you, it was you all who forced to marry that woman, which caused the death of my Ayue!"
"Father, Ayue died because of this! I will never marry that woman, not in this life!"
Prince Yong almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "What are you saying? Is this sothing you can decide? That’s General Hu Lie’s daughter! How can a matrimonial alliance be treated as a joke?"
"Since you refuse to marry, you’ll be bound and forced to marry! Bring the people!"
As Prince Yong roared in anger, Mu Ren actually raised the sharp hairpin and pressed it against his own throat.
"Anyone who dares to force to marry that woman, I will die here at the Prince Mansion today!"
"I only adore Ayue, now that she is not here, I will go down to accompany her!"
Princess Consort Yong also got so angry that her vision went black, she couldn’t help but lower her voice, approached Mu Ren, speaking in a tone that only they could hear.
"Son, it was you who said her identity was unworthy of your position as the princely heir, it was you who had your mother kill her parents, help her to be adopted by a wealthy family so you could marry."
"At that ti, when her parents were not there, she disappeared. Today’s woman just looks like her, why do you insist so much..."
"Shut up!"
Mu Ren roared, unwilling to face all of it.
However, outside the Prince Mansion, chaos was also rampant.
Ruan Jiao was discarded in the street, so many eyes saw her being abandoned, she couldn’t get off the palanquin, nor could she swallow this grievance, only going crazy inside the palanquin.
The maid was comforting her on the side, but ended up receiving two solid slaps from her! Then, unable to control her strength, she kicked the maid.
The maid was kicked out of the palanquin in front of everyone, imdiately drawing public attention.
The bystanders were stunned, watching and discussing.
"General Hu Lie’s daughter might die from anger now! How can Young Master be so indifferent to her?"
"Oh dear, it’s really pitiful, like an abandoned woman, but seeing her temperant so violent, she doesn’t seem like a virtuous and gentle lady, after all, she’s from a small border country, completely lacking grace."
Ruan Jiao originally thought of returning to Da Jing as the heir’s wife, then using this noble status to fiercely teach a lesson to the Ruan Family.
She had vowed to make Ruan Mian die miserably! The whole Ruan Family would be buried without a place.
Yet she lost such face without even marrying over, she was extrely furious inside the palanquin.
Unbeknownst to her, Ruan Mian stood among the crowd, watching as the maid was kicked out by Ruan Jiao, and coldly smiled; this was only a beginning.
Then she turned and lted into the crowd.
She then took Zhang Yue back to the house, letting Lisi return to the Prince Mansion first to avoid suspicion.
Even with the spiritual spring water and those dicinal prescriptions, Zhang Yue hadn’t recovered in the short two days. She had too many wounds big and small.
On the way back to the house, Ruan Mian brought up the wooden hairpin carved with the word "Yue", wanting to ask if Ayue was truly her?
But Zhang Yue only chuckled bitterly: "Things from the past have long vanished like clouds, the young man seen back then turned out to be a ruthless and obsessive man, what’s there to linger on."
"Miss Ruan, are you taking to see Ah Huai and the teacher now?"
Ruan Mian’s throat choked, planning to talk about it when they returned.
With Shuang’er as the scapegoat and that wooden hairpin, Mu Ren would only think she died in that fire.
Once they arrived at the house, Zhang Yue saw Xie Huai’an whom she hadn’t seen for a long ti, tears welled up in her eyes, grasping his arm tightly: "Ah Huai!"
She only heard Xie Huai’an had been demoted to Wuheng, still planning to visit him once Wuheng’s situation stabilized.
Who knew she hadn’t set off yet, but encountered such an incident in Xingjia State.
Fortunately, he was safe, her suspended heart finally found peace, but she couldn’t see Elder Zhang anywhere, and suspected sothing deeply.
Before Xie Huai’an and Ruan Mian could tell her, she was already in tears, her legs lost strength, collapsing to her knees.
"Teacher..."
She covered her eyes, unable to stave off the pain.
Recalling Elder Zhang’s words whispered in her ear, thinking back to when facing those tornts, only the teacher was her sole belief to hold onto.
Now that Elder Zhang had fallen into difficulties, all the strength in her heart seed drained, feeling suffocated from her grief.
Xie Huai’an pulled her up, softly comforting her.
"Sister, I will surely fulfill the teacher’s lifelong wish, and seek justice for the teacher!! Also, I will gradually rescue those students who were captured along with you while pleading for the teacher!"
This is not only a promise to Sister, but also to the deceased Elder Zhang.
Zhang Yue stared at Xie Huai’an with tear-filled eyes, emotions surging for a long while before gradually calming down.
With a hoarse voice, she softly spoke.
"We must seek justice for the teacher! We cannot let the teacher die in vain at the hands of villains!"
"It’s all my fault, I implicated everyone."
Xie Huai’an was filled with remorse as Zhang Yue quickly grasped his hand, firmly stating.
"Ah Huai, do not bla yourself, the mastermind behind all this is not you, it is those vile people from the Princess’s party!"
"You took on tasks in peril for the new emperor, lowering your status to endure hardships in a distant land, with the goal of obtaining evidence to punish them, if they persecute you it is their wrongdoing!"
"Ah Huai, Miss Ruan, I know a place, there are many won needing rescue there, and among them, many were students of the teacher, it was originally who taught your classes."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mian frowned: "Only won?"
Zhang Yue nodded: "It’s in Yang Village outside the city, I heard it from the young master’s servant while he reported back, if my guess is correct, it should be filled with won kept by the young master, they...they are also replacents for Ayue."
Another Ayue?
This Mu Ren is truly a ntally disturbed pervert.
Ruan Mian noted this address, but at that mont Zhang Yue suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood!
"Sister!" Xie Huai’an was extrely worried, Ruan Mian hurriedly called Guard Liu to help her onto the bed.
Most likely because of Elder Zhang’s death, leading to anger and despair.
Once Zhang Yue was settled, she intended to proceed to Yang Village to investigate.
The Prince Mansion was now in chaos, perhaps the best ti to investigate.
Xie Huai’an was still impaired and worried about her being alone, so he assigned Guard Liu to accompany her.
However, Yang Village was empty, eerie, filled with broken remnants, like ruins burned by fire.
As soon as she stood at the entrance, she was startled by the village signboard that swayed as if on the verge of collapse.
