Hundreds of people from the Xie family were thrown into prison overnight, causing an uproar in the entire Shengjing city.

Even though it was late at night, many people were still discussing the matter until the next morning.

After the morning court session, officials in the court continued to discuss.

"'The Great Qi is in danger, only Xie Lin can save it.' Have you heard this before? Is Xie Lin the head of the Xie family who was thrown into prison last night?"

"Hush, keep your voice down! The emperor can't hear such words. I don't know who spread them, but they are simply trying to kill Xie Lin."

In other words, the words about Da Qiwei had spread throughout Shengjing City and the imperial palace, but the emperor alone did not hear it.

Just because no one dared to discuss it in front of him, not only did he not dare to tell it actively, but he also had to keep it secret.

Now that the entire Xie family was in prison, the court officials could not help but mention it after leaving court.

"It's just a merchant family. I don't know who they offended."

"The evidence is irrefutable. The Xie family coveted women, so they offended the Taifu family and didn't take the queen seriously, which led to this fate. Why do you say that it is the Xie family that was framed?"

"I didn't say that the Xie family was framed. I just think that someone dared to spread the word of 'Da Qi Wei' and said that only Xie Lin could save him. Isn't that putting Xie Lin to death? As for the affairs of the Xie Mansion and the Taifu family, they are not within the scope of my discussion."

The court officials even had quarrels because of their different opinions.

Zheng Xiangrong walked among the court officials and looked in the direction of the prison. He thought that there seemed to be several girls in the Xie mansion who were quite outstanding in appearance. It was a pity that they were thrown into prison like this.

He thought again of Chu Hui from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion, a twelve-year-old girl with a pretty face. How could her skin be compared to those older women?

If Chu Hui grows up a little more, her eyes will be like dead fish. Zheng Xiangrong thought that he had to act quickly.

Suddenly, he felt itchy.

After returning home, he went to the secret room, where two little girls, no older than twelve, stood timidly, waiting to be served.

Half an hour later, he came out with a satisfied look on his face, and turned to go to the study next door.

The personal bodyguard quickly brought people in to clean up the situation, and carried out a girl who was covered in wounds and blood, and was dying.

The other girl's face was pale and her blood was coagulated. She was already dead.

Their mother cried at home, her cry was suppressed but heartbroken.

In the early morning, Chu Heyi brought Baihua and walked silently through the intermittent cries.

In the afternoon, Zheng Xiangrong came to visit the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for the same reason, that is, to get to know each other and cultivate feelings with her under the order of the emperor.

Chu Heyi got along with him in a gentle manner until the sunset.

"I still have official business to attend to, so it's inconvenient to disturb you too much. I'll go back first today. I hope Miss Heyi will have a good dream tonight." Zheng Xiangrong's attitude was sincere and gentle.

Chu Heyi said, "I will, and so will the Marquis."

Zheng Xiangrong bowed and turned to leave.

Chu Heyi watched his figure disappear at the gate. She quickly turned around and went to Chu Hui's yard.

The whole night, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion was very quiet, and the guards did not hear any movement. However, when they woke up the next day, they felt that they seemed to have slept too deeply for a period of time while they were on guard last night.

The guards were nervous and afraid of making a mistake, but they didn't dare to say anything, thinking that they were the only ones who were sleeping soundly.

They didn't know that their companions were actually sleeping very soundly and were sleeping surprisingly well, which had never happened before.

Facts have proved that when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong.

Soon they learned that a thief broke into Chu Hui's yard last night, and Chu Hui was abducted directly from the room. Her whereabouts are now unknown.

As everyone was in a panic, a servant stood up and stammered, "I...I got up to relieve myself last night and saw someone going to Miss Hui's room. It seemed like...someone from Marquis Shi'an's mansion!"

"Could it be that the person who abducted Miss Hui was Marquis Shi'an?"

Everyone was shocked!

"These days, Marquis Shi'an often comes to our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. I always see Marquis Shi'an secretly observing Miss Hui. I think Marquis Shi'an has bad intentions towards Miss Hui."

As everyone was arguing, someone else stood up and said, "I also got up to relieve myself last night. I heard some noise coming from Miss Hui's room. I was so scared that my legs were shaking. It was definitely someone from Marquis Shi'an's mansion who broke into Miss Hui's room. The one who abducted Miss Hui must be Marquis Shi'an!"

The Second Madam asked everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Hurry up and send someone to the military camp to invite the Fourth Young Master back home. Something big has happened at home!"

At this time, Zheng Xiangrong had already finished the morning court and returned to the mansion.

The personal guard came towards him and said, "My Lord, everything has been done. The person is in the study."

Zheng Xiangrong stood still and straightened his sleeves, which were not messy at all. "Did you tell the news to anyone in Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion?"

The guard replied, "It has been revealed. The people in Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion must have known by now that Miss Hui was abducted by the people in Shi'an Marquis' Mansion. You have been interested in Miss Hui for a long time."

Zheng Xiangrong's eyes were tinged with a bloodthirsty smile: "Okay, I'll wait for the people from Zhenbei Marquis Mansion to fall into the trap."

He knew that the people in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion got along very harmoniously, the sisters were very friendly to each other, and even the Second Lady, who was promoted to the principal wife, was respected by the children.

Therefore, Zheng Xiangrong believed that if Chu Hui was abducted, the Second Madam, Chu Ren, Chu Heyi and others would definitely become anxious and would lead their troops to break into his mansion.

As long as they dare to break in and enter his study to rescue people, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will be completely destroyed.

What the Third Prince's wife had wanted to accomplish, but ended up losing her wife and her soldiers in vain, was finally going to be accomplished by him.

Zheng Xiangrong was in high spirits and asked the guards to serve wine and meat. He sat at the table, drinking and eating meat by himself.

After eating and drinking, he went downstairs to take a shower and change clothes, ready to enjoy Chu Hui's body that looked extremely fresh and delicious, and then go to meet the angry Chu Heyi and Chu Ren.

However, he didn't know that the person who was abducted to Marquis Shi'an's mansion was not Chu Hui, but Chu Heyi.

She changed into Chu Hui's clothes last night, combed Chu Hui's hair, and curled up on Chu Hui's bed.

When Marquis Shi'an entered the Marquis Zhenbei's mansion to kidnap people, he was already guilty of his crime, so he kidnapped her without taking a general look at her, and even kept her wrapped in a quilt during the journey.

After arriving at Marquis Shi'an's Mansion, he left her in the study, locked the door and went out.

Chu Heyi stood up from the quilt and saw that it was already dawn outside. She searched quickly in the study.

In this study, Zheng Xiangrong made preparations and hid things that were neither easy nor difficult to find, so Chu Heyi found them without spending much time.

She unfolded the thing and took a look at it, her eyes narrowed. It was indeed something that was enough to destroy the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

I really want to kill Zheng Xiangrong right now.

But Chu Heyi forced himself to calm down and continue looking for other things.

Xie Lin had shown her the blueprint of this study room, and she had already memorized it by heart. As for the things that Zheng Xiangrong wanted to completely hide and never let anyone see...

She found it too.
