Shen Mingzhu paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and then asked.
[Guagua, what happened? Let's go take a look.]
As Shen Mingzhu's inner thoughts resonated, everyone became restless.
I want to go and see what happened.
Curious...
Shen Mingzhu looked at Crown Prince Yan Beichen beside her and immediately stood up. Crown Prince Yan Beichen looked at her and asked with a smile,
"Mingzhu, where are you going?"
"Brother Crown Prince, I ate a lot of pastries this afternoon, and I'd like to go for a walk."
"Alright, I'll go with you."
"No need, Your Highness. I'll just go for a walk and come back in a bit."
"It's alright, I'm fine. I'll just accompany you for a stroll around the Duke of Huguo's mansion."
Shen Mingzhu: ...
Before Shen Mingzhu could say anything more, Prince An, General Tian, Grand Scholar Su, and Shen Mingzhu's four brothers all stood up.
Seeing this, everyone stood up, ready to go out for a walk or a stroll.
And so, Shen Mingzhu and Crown Prince Yan Beichen were in front, followed by a large group of people.
Shen Mingzhu naturally saw it, but considering that she was going to gossip about Liu Ruyan, and that Liu Ruyan was in cahoots with Shen Jiaojiao, and that there were so many people around, and that Liu Ruyan was very good at coaxing people, she believed that there was no fear of any accidents.
As Shen Mingzhu was walking in the direction Liu Ruyan had left, the system's voice sounded again.
Host, hurry! Liu Ruyan has been knocked unconscious and is being carried away!
Okay, I'll be right there.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickened their pace and moved forward rapidly.
Soon, everyone followed Shen Mingzhu to an abandoned courtyard in the Duke of Huguo's mansion.
The courtyard was clearly abandoned, with large amounts of soil and withered leaves covering the entire space, and all kinds of flowers and plants were withered and in a mess, presenting a desolate scene.
A dark figure quickly darted inside.
Guagua, what's that?
Oh, humanity!
[This is going to ruin Liu Ruyan's career! I thought everyone would hold back!]
Host, Liu Ruyan doesn't have a powerful maternal clan; she relies entirely on the Duke of Protectorate's love, so people naturally act with less restraint!
The system said gloatingly.
[Host, the show is about to start!]
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhu quickly gave Crown Prince Yan Beichen a wink, and then the two of them leapt onto the roof.
Yes, the view from here is indeed excellent.
Once you remove the tile, you can see everything!
Prince An was sweating profusely with anxiety and finally summoned his secret guards to send him up.
General Tian Xuezhou looked at Grand Scholar Su with an air of absolute confidence, his face practically screaming, "You will beg me!"
Scholar Su ignored him.
He could choose not to witness the spectacle, but he couldn't let the Tian family's son snatch away his precious little sister.
Seeing that Su Huaiyuan was ignoring him, Tian Xuezhou was very distressed.
Seriously!
He didn't open his mouth!
And this is how you act when you need something from someone?!
Finally, just as Su Huaiyuan was about to find a big tree to hide under, General Tian grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him onto the roof.
Su Huaiyuan: What are you doing?
Snort!
Tian Xuezhou: Like a dog biting Lü "Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart!
Soon, the other ministers who had come along found their places.
Some were behind the house, some behind the big tree, some hiding next door, waiting to climb over the wall and peek when people came...
Soon, a commotion was heard outside.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mingzhu and the others watched as the man inside the room began to act.
Liu Ruyan, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, shook her head anxiously.
"No, no, don't come any closer, waaaaah..."
"Waaaaah~~~ Big brother, please let me go"
Hearing the commotion inside, Duke Sun Yuan, enraged, kicked the door open.
"You shameless woman, how dare you have an affair?!"
Liu Ruyan looked at Gongsun Yuan who had barged in, her face turned pale, her eyes filled with tears, and she immediately broke free from the man and knelt down in front of Gongsun Yuan, the Duke of Protector of the State.
She clung to the Duke of Huguo's leg, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Waaaaah~~~"
"My lord, my lord~~" my lord~~"
"My lord, sob sob sob~~~"
"Waaaaah~~~"
"My lord, I was waiting peacefully in the room for you to lift my veil when a maid came and said that you were injured. I didn't want to leave the bridal chamber, but thinking of how good you have been to me, my lord, you are my hero. I can't leave you, I can't lose you!"
Unexpectedly, the maid said,
"My lord, you kept calling Yan'er's name. I was worried about your injuries, but I was kidnapped and brought here as soon as I went out..."
"Waaaaah~~~"
"Unexpectedly, this scoundrel tried to bully me, so I fought back. In the end, Your Excellency the Duke arrived and saved Yan'er once again, sob sob sob~~~"
"My lord, what will Yan'er do without you?!"
"Waaaaah~~~"
[Guagua, she truly lives up to her reputation as a whiny baby!]
Look, she's managed to coax that old geezer, the Duke of Protectorate, into a state of utter despair. He came with a raging fire, but now all he feels is pity.
[Host～～～]
Looking at Liu Ruyan, who was crying with tears streaming down her face, Gongsun Yuan, the Duke of Protector of the Nation, felt his heart break.
"Ruyan, get up quickly. The ground is cold!"
"My lord~~~"
