“That’s true. Be careful.” Zhou Ying went to get busy after that.
Gu Chengrui saw that there were ripe tomatoes in the field. He picked one, washed it, and ate it as he walked toward the grassland.
At the same time, Yang Shicheng had finished his meal and was thinking about preparing a dowry for Yang Wanyu in his study. New novel chapters are published on
Suddenly, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps. Before he could come back to his senses, he saw two imperial guards rush in and grab him.
Yang Shicheng was stunned at first, but when he returned to his senses, he panicked. He looked at Xiao Heng, standing at his door, and asked, “Chief Xiao, what’s going on?”
“Lord Yang, what do you think is going on here?”
Yang Shicheng was surprised by the rhetorical question but quickly realized the Emperor must have ordered his capture. His mood immediately wilted.
Xiao Heng saw that he had calmed down and waved his hand. “Take him away.”
On the way, Yang Shicheng asked Chief Xiao about the reason for his capture. Although he didn’t get definite information, he knew things weren’t good when he saw the murderous look on Chief Xiao’s face.
He got uneasy. Could it be that the Emperor knew about his corruption?
No, no way that was the case. If the Emperor knew about his corruption, he would not be arresting him but ransacking his homes.
“We would have starved to death by now if everyone was all as cunning as you.”
Yang Shicheng paused and deliberately looked at him in panic. “You, you’re from the casino?”
“No, but I’m also responsible for collecting debts. If I knew the higher-ups would be so strict, I wouldn’t have joined a group. Now, I’m afraid I’ll be exiled even if I survive this ordeal.”
When Yang Shicheng heard him say that, he immediately thought of the Cui family’s loan shark business.
He quickly asked the man whether they were part of the Cui family’s group.
“How did you know?” the man asked, looking at him warily.
“I heard about it. This has spread throughout the prison over the past two days.”
“Looks like we’re really screwed this time,” the man said dejectedly.
After realizing what was happening, Yang Shicheng didn’t dare ask any more questions. These people would most likely tear him apart if his identity were revealed.
After Yang Shicheng had been captured from the Yang Residence, Yang Wanning and Yang Wanyu also received the news. By the time they chased after him, he had already left.
Yang Wanyu immediately ordered Yang Wanning, “Hurry up and beg King Rui to see if he can save Father as soon as possible.””
Yang Wanning sneered after hearing this. “Why don’t you go to Prince Hui? Mother has a good relationship with the Empress, so begging them will give you a better chance.”
After saying that, she just returned to her small courtyard..
