They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 224 It's Not Your Turn

Wu Ziyan was unaware of the situation outside and was still in the room with Mo Baiyun, being all lovey-dovey.

Mo Baiyun was still clinging to Wu Ziyan, and the door was not closed, so Yun Que outside did not dare to look.

But when news arrives, they will still knock lightly on the door frame.

Mo Baiyun knew there were many important matters to attend to these past few days, and impatiently let him in: "Speak."

"The master of Lingchuan has gone to Wu Chengye's residence. The prime minister went to Wu Chengye's residence after court. We haven't found out the specifics yet."

Perhaps other things are fine, but Wu Ziyan will not let Sima Lingchuan get hurt, and Mo Baiyun knows this.

Wu Ziyan seemed to treat everyone the same, as long as it concerned them.

He was in critical condition, and she would come to his rescue; she would do the same for anyone else whose life was in danger.

Mo Baiyun released Wu Ziyan's neck. He didn't need her reminder; she turned to look at him.

"Little Yun'er, I'm afraid we should send someone to my eldest sister's residence to inform her."

"Then just arrange for a carriage to take me to Wu Chengye's residence."

"But now it seems the fact that I wasn't caned will be exposed!"

"You really think the same way as Lord Lingchuan. He sent someone to inform His Highness before he left."

"I'm afraid the Prime Minister and Wu Chengye are plotting something."

"Then I'm afraid I can't accompany you today. I'll accompany you next time, Xiaoyun'er."

"master."

When Sima Lingchuan left, he not only sent someone to inform Wu Chengji, but also sent someone to inform Fang Yuerong.

If he were not in the mansion, he would have to send someone to keep the officials and servants in check.

Fang Yuerong is the best candidate, since she is nominally the boss of the people in their household.

Fang Yuerong was also shocked when she received the news.

What important matter could Sima Lingchuan possibly have that would require him to go to Jiu'an Prefecture to manage people?

Looking at these recent major events, it's clear to him that he needs to think about it.

So he immediately instructed Yue'er to arrange a carriage and hurriedly headed towards Jiu'an Prefecture.

Sima Lingchuan kept urging the carriage driver to hurry up!

Hurry! Hurry up! Otherwise, they'll be gone if we're late.

However, there are many details to discuss between the Prime Minister and Wu Chengye, and it cannot be finished in a short time, so Sima Lingchuan can still make it.

Moreover, Sima Lingyu was pacing back and forth in the inner courtyard, unaware that it would be his brother who came.

Sima Lingchuan didn't dare to openly shout at the gate.

When he reached the small gate, a secluded spot in the alley with few people, he knocked on the door a few times.

The guard at the gate stopped him and asked who he was.

Sima Lingchuan showed his jade pendant, which was a proof of his identity.

But the guards wouldn't recognize him at all and tried to drag him away with swords.

Sima Lingchuan disregarded his manners as a husband and started banging on the door.

Then the two people accompanying him also started shouting.

At that moment, the people on the other side heard someone shouting outside and thought something had happened.

You can't hear anyone shouting from the back door while you're in the front hall.

The people in the inner courtyard went to report to the steward that someone was knocking on the door, and it seemed that the person's name was Sima Lingchuan.

The voice was spoken very softly, only the butler could hear it.

At this crucial moment, the Prime Minister and Wu Chengji were having a very important conversation and they absolutely could not allow anything else to interrupt them.

She whispered a few words in Wu Chengye's ear, then withdrew.

Wu Chengye's expression changed slightly, but nothing else mattered as much as what they were discussing.

He simply waved his hand, letting the butler handle it.

When the butler led his men to the backyard, the shouting subsided.

Sima Lingchuan and the others were still standing at the back door when she suddenly opened it, and the group stared at each other in disbelief.

The butler even peeked outside to see if anyone else was there, and after confirming that no one was around, he gave a wink to the guards on both sides.

The guards immediately shouted, "Come in!" and dragged them into the courtyard.

Sima Lingchuan seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and instead of shouting or yelling, he remained calm.

“Take me to see Lingyu.”

“Husband Lingchuan, if I remember correctly, you should be under house arrest.”

"Do you know what crime you have committed by coming to the Second Prince's residence without permission?"

"Take me to see Ling Yu! Even if I have committed some crime, it's not your place to fabricate charges against me!"

Sima Lingyu could hear his brother's voice in the backyard, so he quickly came out of his room and looked at the housekeeper.

The butler still had to give him some face.

In addition, Sima Lingchuan is also the eldest son of the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister is currently in their residence discussing matters with the Second Prince; we cannot allow the two of them to go to the front hall and disturb them.

"Send Lingchuan and Lingyu back to their rooms and keep a close watch on them! Don't let them escape!"

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, several guards were about to step forward and drag them away.

But Sima Lingchuan came here to stall for time, so how could he possibly be caught?

Although Sima Lingyu didn't know why it was Sima Lingchuan who came, at least someone had come.

He immediately stood in front of the guards and said to his brother.

"Brother, Mother and the Second Prince are in the main hall!"

The steward knew that Sima Lingchuan's arrival was no good, and prepared to personally take action.

But Sima Lingchuan didn't know whether it was because they were agile or because they hadn't practiced in a long time.

He managed to evade the group's ambush and ran through the corridor.

Completely disregarding their own image, the noise could be heard from the front of the hall to the back.

The prime minister was somewhat annoyed and looked up to ask.

"What exactly happened? Second Prince, can't you even manage the inner quarters?"

"Go and see!"

Before anyone could even go and see, someone ran up to report that Sima Lingchuan had come here.

This person was extremely meaningful to both of them, and their expressions changed repeatedly.

After all, Sima Lingchuan is now Wu Ziyan's man.

How did we manage to let him in?

However, in order to accomplish great things, Wu Chengye decided to go all the way and had the brothers Sima Lingchuan and Sima Lingyu brought to the front of the hall.

When they arrived at the hall, Sima Lingchuan still maintained the air of a master of the house, bowing slightly to his mother and Wu Chengye.

"How did you end up at the Second Prince's residence?"

"Mother, I advise you not to insist on your own way!"

The Prime Minister stood up and slapped Sima Lingchuan across the face.

You could see five finger marks on her face, and her eyes showed both heartache and regret.

"How could I have given birth to such a rebellious son like you?"

"Mother, what you and the Second Prince plotted is unforgivable by Heaven and Earth; you have none of the virtues of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness!"

"Mother! How could you hit my brother!"

Another slap landed on Sima Lingyu's face as he turned around.

Men really don't understand anything! The only person who understood her... is dead.

"Drag both of them away and lock them up."

"Lock them in jail and don't let them out during this time!"
