Su Dingheng waved his sword, acting like a rogue, but strangely, this posture left Chu Xiaotian speechless.
Being of royal descent, Chu Xiaotian would never throw a tantrum like Su Dingheng, behaving like a street scoundrel.
Chu Xiaotian’s face darkened as he pondered. With his limited entourage, he couldn’t forcibly take Su Han from the Marquis’s Manor.
But leaving now was out of the question, he couldn’t accept that.
Su Yingxue had interfered with his wife without permission, and he couldn’t let it slide.
And Su Han… she had defied him repeatedly!
In the midst of his frustration, Min Jia barged in. “Brother, don’t worry. If the Marquis’s Manor tries to bully you, they have to see if Seventh Cousin agrees!”
Min Jia’s face was swollen from Su Yingxue’s beating, and she spoke with a buzzing voice due to the needle still in her mouth. However, she didn’t let that hinder her from providing Chu Xiaotian with some devious ideas.
Chu Xiaotian was both surprised and intrigued.
The moonlight cast its gentle glow, and the night breeze was chilly.
Chu Chengye, adorned in a moon-white python robe, strolled in under the moonlight. With a golden crown on his head, he was accompanied by a hundred imperial guards, exuding a commanding presence. Upon his arrival, everyone kneeled in respect.
“Greetings, Your Highness.”
“Greetings, Your Highness!”
Chu Xiaotian nodded in acknowledgment, showing his respect to Chu Chengye.
Chu Chengye extended a helping hand. “Brother, there’s no need for formalities. Sister Min Jia came to inform me that you were trapped in the Marquis’s Manor, so I’ve come to support you.”
The term ‘support’ raised eyebrows.
Inside the room, Saint Ruan raised an eyebrow. “Why is he here? Is he deliberately causing trouble?”
Su Yingxue hadn’t finished dealing with everything yet!
Even though Su Yingxue had just removed all the bugs, her expression darkened as she examined Su Han’s abdomen.
Saint Ruan looked down and was stunned. “D*mn, this…”
Was this too unfortunate?
Su Han sensed the somber atmosphere on the operating table and asked weakly, “Sister, what’s wrong?”
“Cousin, the child in your stomach…” Su Yingxue felt deep regret and couldn’t bring herself to continue.
Outside the medicine hut, Chu Chengye approached the Su family. He glanced at Su Dingwei and his wife, saying, “I understand that General Su and your wife are anxious about your daughter, but you have crossed the line. General Su, despite being my brother’s father-in-law, you seem to have forgotten that my brother is a relative of the imperial family and holds a position in the Five Cities ATilitary Department. In terms of status and rank, he surpasses General Su. How dare you raise your hand against him?”
Su Dingwei felt extremely ashamed, but even with his hidden resentment, he had to bow his head and grit his teeth. “I overstepped, Your Highness.”
“As a military man, General Su deserves punishment.”
Chu Chengye not only had status but also wielded real power in the Ministry of Justice. He gestured, issuing a command. “Take General Weiwu, Su Dingwei, who has offended his superior and humiliated the Regional Prince, throw him into the imperial prison, and administer corporal punishment!”
Qin Wan was terrified. “Your Highness, spare him, please!”
Corporal punishment involved stripping the prisoner naked and using an iron comb forged from steel bars to comb down the prisoner’s body, akin to combing hair. The pain was excruciating, causing injuries ranging from scraped-off skin and profuse bleeding to damaged tendons and bones, resulting in disability.
Su Dingwei wasn’t afraid of the punishment, but he stood firm. “I made a mistake. Your Highness can punish me however you want, but I must witness Han’er’s surgery with my own eyes. She must be safe and sound. Otherwise, I will never leave this medicine hut..”
