Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1948: Chapter 1945: The Two Princes Approve

Holding the letter paper in hand.

"Ah Heng?" Ye Muyu called out.

Chu Heng waved her over.

Seeing that he wasn’t planning to hide anything from her, Ye Muyu walked over directly and asked, "What’s going on?"

"I found something. The teenager you previously asked me to investigate seems to have encountered coercion, and several other peers have also been disappearing mysteriously," he said.

Ye Muyu recalled when the teenager had gone to the clinic for Seeing a Doctor and had a lot of new scars on his body.

At that time, Ye Muyu had sent someone to follow him, just in case.

After informing Chu Heng, she didn’t send anyone to follow him anymore.

There had been no news about him, so Ye Muyu thought it was consensual, some kind of interest. Who would have thought, even though the news was late, it still came.

"Which high official of the imperial court is connected to these teenagers?" Ye Muyu pondered for a while before suddenly asking.

Chu Heng didn’t deny it and rubbed his fingers against her hand, "Yes, this teenager was knocked out and tied up an hour ago and taken into the Marquis of Ande’s Mansion, which is hosting a banquet today."

"Many reputable officials from the capital have been invited, including those from the Six Ministries."

"There are also those infamous profligate sons of the capital."

"At the same time, several teenagers were sent into the residence as well."

Ye Muyu furrowed her brows so tightly that she could pinch a mosquito to death.

"Such banquets shouldn’t be widely publicized, right? Especially now, when the Beirong Prince is in the capital. Moreover, the Southern Border people have been sending new messengers, demanding the Emperor replace someone because of the capture of the Sacred Girl of Southern Border."

"At this time, is the Marquis of Ande’s Mansion committing a crime in broad daylight?"

Chu Heng tapped his fingers on the table: "No, these kinds of banquets are frequently held in the capital. These people are only interested in indulgence, not the lives of commoners. Unless there are significant casualties, nothing will be stirred up. Otherwise, there is no way to punish them by law."

"The boys who were dragged in will likely sign documents, and as long as they prove their willingness, regardless of whether they were coerced into it, the law can’t touch them."

"It’s too rampant," Ye Muyu couldn’t even imagine if her own family had no power; if the children who were a bit more attractive, wouldn’t they be easily humiliated and harmed.

"Ah Heng, what should we do?" Ye Muyu could hardly bear it any longer.

Seeing Ye Muyu looking at him longingly, Chu Heng reached out to ruffle her hair, with warmth in his eyes, "Ah Yu, I knew you were the most soft-hearted."

"This kind of situation isn’t something we should get involved in, but someone else can."

"Who?" Ye Muyu hugged his arm, feeling a bit willful herself. Thankfully, as long as it wouldn’t affect Chu Heng, it was fine.

"King Qi or Prince Rong."

Chu Heng squinted his eyes and analyzed with her: "These two princes, regardless of the scenario, are of the highest nobility. Even the Marquis of Ande wouldn’t dare offend them, and given their status, it’s not difficult for them to enter anyone’s residence."

"Hey, Ah Heng, do you think King Qi will go? I remember that the Marquis of Ande is close to Consort Jie. Given Minister Qi’s crafty nature and how Consort Jie caused Imperial Concubine Qi Zhao Yi to be expelled from the palace, Minister Qi must feel resentful, right?" Ye Muyu couldn’t help but laugh, "But since you’re saying this, Minister Qi must have some reservations."
