"Mr. Chen, he has killed Chu Heng!"
?!
The room fell into a dead silence!
Liu Miaozhi’s beautiful eyes widened in disbelief: "What, what did you say? Chu Heng is dead?!"
Xu Ling’er nodded and said, "Miss Feng Chun at the Miao Yin Pavilion has an esteemed client, a Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a secondary fifth-rank official. I overheard him talking with a friend just now; the information is absolutely accurate!"
Liu Miaozhi swallowed with difficulty.
On such matters, court officials wouldn’t speak recklessly; nine times out of ten, it must be true!
If that’s the case, then Chen Mo has really caused big trouble!
"No matter the crime Chu Heng committed, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a member of the Imperial Family. With the eight deliberations policy, unless it’s treason, the punishment shouldn’t be death."
"Mr. Chen’s ruthless action, Prince Yu Mansion surely won’t let this go."
"What should be done..."
Liu Miaozhi paced anxiously in the room.
Xu Ling’er scratched her head and said, "But the problem is, Chu Heng was actually committing treason."
"Hmm?"
Liu Miaozhi’s expression stiffened.
"I haven’t finished speaking yet."
Xu Ling’er continued, "The current turmoil was caused by Chu Heng, and he even escaped from the Imperial Prison, trying to flee the city, only to be intercepted and killed by Mr. Chen on the way. Now, the Prince Yu Mansion has been sealed, and all the family members have been taken into custody by the Sky Scale Guard."
"That Minister said Mr. Chen not only is not guilty but has made a great contribution!"
"I heard that Her Majesty the Empress has already promoted him in court to the head of a thousand households, earning a third-grade title!"
Liu Miaozhi was dazed, collapsing powerlessly back onto the chair.
The Prince Yu Mansion...
Has it really fallen just like that?
In the past, it was something she wouldn’t even dare to think about, yet Chen Mo had actually accomplished it?
The dark clouds over the Xu Family suddenly tore open a corner, making her feel as though she was dreaming.
"It seems I’ve underestimated him..."
"With such a man, perhaps the Xu Family will really see a day of redemption and the clearing of unjust accusations?"
"If the master and madam have spirits in heaven, they could finally be at peace."
Liu Miaozhi murmured to herself.
Yu’er clenched her delicate hands on her clothes, her eyes slightly red, and asked with a trembling voice, "Where is Mr. Chen now?"
Xu Ling’er thought for a moment, then said, "When I passed by Miss Gu’s room earlier, I seemed to hear some noise inside, maybe it’s..."
Before she finished speaking, Yu’er turned and left.
Liu Miaozhi realized and quickly grabbed her, whispering in her ear, "Do you remember what I told you earlier? Remember, at the last moment, you must seize the opportunity..."
"Hmm..."
Yu’er bit her lip, acknowledged, and then quickly walked out of the room.
Xu Ling’er asked curiously, "Auntie, what did you and Miss Yu’er talk about? So secretive."
