The Pretty Wife of General Jinxiu Huanian

Chapter 92 The Prince's Revenge

The atmosphere in the mansion was suffocating. Yunxi's eyebrows were tightly knitted together as she hurried back and forth in the courtyard, her steps as fast as the wind.

As for the prince, he sat in the study with a gloomy face, tapping the table with his fingers, racking his brains to think of how to deal with this matter.

Suddenly, there was a noisy noise outside the mansion. Yunxi's ears pricked up and he quickly ran towards the mansion gate.

When we got to the door, we saw a group of soldiers rushing in like wolves.

The leading general shouted at the top of his voice: "By order of the prince, seal off the Marquis's mansion!"

Yunxi stared at the general with eyes as big as copper bells, and shouted loudly: "Why do you do this?

Our mansion has never done anything illegal!"

The general snorted, his face full of disdain, "This is the prince's order. Who do you think you are to disobey?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand vigorously, as if he was driving ducks, asking the officers and soldiers to act quickly.

At this moment, Yunxi was furious and stretched out his hands to stop the soldiers. The general saw this and his face darkened, and he winked at the soldiers nearby.

Without saying a word, several officers and soldiers went up and pushed Yunxi to the side. Yunxi staggered and almost fell.

But she gritted her teeth and rushed forward again, shouting, "Don't mess around!" The officers and soldiers didn't care about that and pushed her hard again, pushing Yunxi far away.

For a moment, the mansion was in chaos. Officers and soldiers rummaged through boxes and cabinets at will, and precious items were thrown all over the floor.

Yunxi wanted to stop them, but was roughly pushed away by several officers and soldiers.

At this time, the prince walked out of the study, his face was ashen with anger, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Seeing this chaotic scene, he shouted angrily, "Stop! You are so lawless, don't you fear the law?"

The general tilted his head, glanced at the prince, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Prince, now that the prince is in power, you should just accept your fate."

The prince was so angry that he was shaking all over. He gritted his teeth and puffed out his cheeks. "I want to see the emperor and ask for justice."

The general folded his arms over his chest, threw back his head and laughed heartily, "Can you see the emperor whenever you want?"

At this moment, a maid came running in in a panic, her hair bun tilted and one of her shoes fell off. "Oh no! The lady was frightened by them and fainted."

When Yunxi heard this, her eyes widened and her face was full of anxiety. "Quick, help the lady back to her room."

As he said that, he quickly ran over to help.

The prince's face grew increasingly gloomy, dark enough to drip ink, and he clenched his fists tightly. "You evil scoundrels, you will be punished sooner or later."

The general curled his lips and was not moved at all. He continued to command the officers and soldiers to search in an arrogant manner.

The officers and soldiers rushed around recklessly, turning the mansion upside down.

After a while, the soldiers came out, escorting several servants from the mansion. They were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their bodies trembled constantly.

The general, with a smug look on his face, said loudly, "These people are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and must be brought back to the government office for interrogation."

The prince's eyes widened, almost popping out of his head, and the veins on his neck were clearly visible. "Nonsense, they are all loyal servants of the Marquis' Mansion."

The general snorted coldly and blew out a puff of air from his nose. "Whether it's nonsense or not, we'll know after the trial."

Yunxi watched these scenes and her lips trembled with anger. She clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, and her nails dug into her flesh.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with anger and helplessness. She wanted to rush up and fight these people, but she knew she was powerless.

The prince was so angry that he stamped his feet, and his beard trembled. He looked at the servants who were taken away, his eyes full of grief and anger.

Yunxi turned to look at the prince and said in a tearful voice, "Prince, what should we do?"

The prince sighed deeply, "I will never let them succeed."

At this time, an officer accidentally knocked over a vase, and with a "crash", the vase shattered to the ground.

The prince glared at the officer, who shrank his neck in fear.

The general shouted nonchalantly, "Keep searching, don't stop."

Yunxi gritted her teeth in anger, "You are simply robbers."

The officers and soldiers ignored her and continued to do as they pleased.

After a while, the mansion was in a mess and in disarray.

At night, the Marquis's residence was in a state of disarray. The prince and Yunxi sat in the hall, candlelight flickering.

Yunxi said, "Your Majesty, what should we do? We can't let them wrongly accuse the Marquisate like this."

The prince frowned, his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the hall. After a while, he said, "Tomorrow I will go and see some old friends in the court to see if I can get any help."

After saying that, he let out a long sigh, and that sigh seemed to carry the weight of a thousand pounds.

The next day, before daybreak, the prince dressed neatly and left the house. Yunxi also got up early and walked the prince to the door, watching his back with a worried look on her face until he disappeared around the corner.

It was almost noon when the prince returned, looking exhausted. His steps were heavy, as if he was dragging lead with every step.

Yunxi hurried over and asked anxiously, "Your Highness, what's going on?" The prince hung his head and shook it weakly, "Those old friends are afraid of the prince's power and dare not help."

Yunxi's eyes dimmed instantly and her eyes turned red.

As he was speaking, a commotion was heard outside. It turned out that the prince's adviser had arrived at the Marquis's residence with a group of people in a menacing manner.

The counselor was dressed in a gorgeous robe, waving a folding fan in his hand, walking with a bowed step, and a malicious smile on his face.

The counselor said sarcastically, "Your Highness, how are you?" The prince glared at him and snorted coldly, "What do you want?"

The counselor put away his folding fan, pointed at the prince with it, and said with a smile: "As long as the prince is willing to submit to the prince, everything will be easy to say."

The prince straightened his back, his eyes wide with anger, and said firmly, "Don't even think about it!" The counselor's face changed, and he put away his smile. He said sinisterly, "Then your Highness will have to wait and see."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left with his men.

In the days that followed, the Marquis's Mansion was in turmoil. On one side, the soldiers stormed into the Marquis's shop, throwing the goods all over the floor. The shopkeeper pleaded desperately, but was kicked to the ground.

Over there, the farm steward was being taken away by soldiers, bound and tied up, saying the land was being confiscated. The servants in the manor were trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.

Yunxi was so exhausted from handling all the affairs of the mansion that she could barely stand up straight. She had to direct the maids to clean up the mess while also trying to calm the servants down.

That day, she had just finished arranging things in the kitchen when she hurried to check the warehouse. The warehouse was also in a mess, and all the valuables had been moved away.

Yunxi bit her lips and tried hard to hold back her tears.

As for the prince, he locked himself in his study all day long, without shaving or taking care of his hair, and he looked much more haggard.

When he occasionally came out, he would keep his head down and not say anything, just sighing continuously.

Yunxi looked at the declining Marquis' Mansion and secretly vowed in his heart that he must find a way to overcome this difficulty.

One day, Yunxi overheard people talking on the street.

"Hey, have you heard? The prince is up to no good, searching everywhere for evidence of the prince's crimes. It looks like he wants to torture the prince to death!"

"That's right. I heard that this prince is cruel and ruthless. I'm afraid that Your Highness is in great danger."

When Yunxi heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she hurried to the mansion in a panic. Along the way, she walked so fast that the hem of her skirt was blown by the wind.

As soon as she entered the Marquis' Mansion, Yunxi didn't even have time to catch her breath and went straight to the prince's study.

"Your Highness, this is bad!" Yunxi's face flushed with anxiety, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

The prince was sitting at the desk with a frown on his face. When he heard Yunxi's words, he stood up suddenly.

"What's going on? Yunxi, speak slowly." The prince's voice was a little anxious.

Yunxi gasped and said, "I heard someone on the street say that the prince is looking for evidence of your crime and wants to put you to death!"

When the prince heard this, his eyes widened, he clenched his fists tightly, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.

"It seems that he is determined to kill me." The prince gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

Yunxi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

The prince nodded, his eyes filled with determination.

"I decided to take the risk and go to the palace to meet the emperor."

When Yunxi heard this, his face was instantly filled with worry and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"But the palace is heavily guarded. What if..."

The prince waved his hand and interrupted Yunxi.

The prince's eyes were determined. "Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will give it a try."
