Shengjing Noble

Chapter 457 Another incident

The box was opened, and inside was a pile of silver, a total of ten thousand taels.

Tomorrow morning, four more boxes of the same silver will be delivered to the Prince's Mansion.

Fu Mingheng was excited in his heart, but his appearance remained cool and calm.

He took a quick glance and then said, "Carry it in."

"Yes!"

Several servants immediately covered the box and carried it into the Prince's Mansion.

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the Lu siblings immediately bowed and said, "I hope Your Highness will keep his word. Tomorrow morning, Lan Yin and I will bring the remaining 40,000 taels to redeem the person."

"Yeah." Fu Mingheng nodded, then turned around and went back home.

Su Lanyin and Su Shengming hurried back to the carriage.

The moment the car door was closed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

"That's great. With the prince's written receipt, we don't have to worry about him denying his promise tomorrow."

Su Lanyin took out the document, the content of which roughly stated that the prince would hand over Su Shengming and Song Huaizhi to the Lu family unharmed early tomorrow morning. If there was any breach of contract, the consequences would be borne by the owner.

The prince took the responsibility, and if he refused to hand over the person, they could legitimately take this document and go to the emperor to file a complaint.

Fu Mingheng is currently under house arrest. The emperor's attitude towards him has finally warmed up recently, and he must be afraid that something unexpected will happen at this time.

"Brother, this time it's all thanks to you."

"Now I just hope that this incident won't cause any more trouble and that they can both come back safely tomorrow morning."

"Ok!"

……

The Palace of Five Kings.

After being beaten, Song Huaizhi and Su Shengming were locked up separately, one in the dungeon and the other in the woodshed.

It was late at night and the woodshed was pitch black, with no sight of one's hand in front of one's face.

Wind leaked through the cracks in the tattered door, making people shiver.

Song Huaizhi huddled in the corner with her hands on her knees, her mind full of worry about Su Shengming's safety.

She cried and whispered, "It's all my fault... If it weren't for me... Third Brother wouldn't have been implicated... What should I do... If I offered myself, would they let Third Brother go..."

"What should I do... Oh my God, I finally met someone who truly treats me well, why did it turn out like this?"

"In the past... they all said that I had a bad fate and that my whole family was killed. I didn't believe it at first... but now... now I believe it... I am really a jinx. Whoever treats me well will be unlucky..."

"I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I will never again be greedy for the warmth of my family, I will never again dare to expect someone to treat me well... Please, let my third brother be safe... I am willing to pay any price..."

She was crying sadly when the door of the woodshed was suddenly kicked open.

Song Huaizhi was startled and huddled even harder in the corner, looking towards the door in fear and anxiety.

Fu Mingli staggered in, reeking strongly of alcohol, which was nauseating.

"My little beauty~ Hehe... where are you? Come here quickly and let me take good care of you!"

It was too dark in the woodshed, and he couldn't find Song Huaizhi for a moment, so he rushed in and looked around.

Looking at his wretched figure, like a devil from hell, Song Huaizhi shrank in fear in the corner, not daring to make any sound, not even daring to breathe deeply.

Fu Mingli quickly adapted to the darkness in the woodshed, and his vision recovered a little. He noticed the corner where Song Huaizhi was hiding, so he staggered over.

"So you are here, hahaha..."

He rushed forward, grabbed the man up, and held him in his arms.

Song Huaizhi struggled desperately and screamed: "No! Let me go! Don't touch me...ah..."

But the more she resisted, the more excited he became. He simply used brute force to press her to the ground and then rode on her.

"Damn it, it's your honor that the king has taken a fancy to you. You little bitch, dare you resist? I'll kill you!"

As he said that, he picked up the rope beside him and tied it around Song Huaizhi's hands, then pressed her legs down with his legs.

"No, please, don't do this, let me go, let me go..."

Song Huaizhi cried so hard that her voice became hoarse, but it was of no use.

Fu Mingli was like a wild beast in heat. He lay on top of her, kissing and caressing her, then tore her clothes off inch by inch.

“Don’t… no… ah…”

Song Huaizhi twisted her body and struggled hard, but no matter how hard she tried, it was of no use in the end.

Until her clothes were almost torn off and her legs were pressed tightly to her sides.

In a state of desperation, she shouted, "If you dare to touch me again, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide. If I die, let's see how you can use me to exchange for the Lu family's money!"

Fu Mingli paused, as if he had regained a bit of rationality, and then his expression became ferocious and angry. He raised his hand and slapped Song Huaizhi hard in the face, making her dizzy.

"Damn it, you little bitch, you dare to threaten this king!"

Although he cursed, this sentence really worked, making him stand up and stop touching her.

Song Huaizhi quickly shrank back into the corner, bit the rope on her hands with her teeth, picked up the torn clothes on the ground, and held them in front of her.

"Alright! Although I can't touch you, I didn't say that I can't let you serve me!"

Fu Mingli curled up the corner of his mouth with a sneer, untied his belt and walked over, grabbed Song Huaizhi's hair and pressed her under him.

"do not want!"

She struggled hard, pressing her hands tightly against his legs, refusing to give in.

Just at this moment, a servant rushed in hurriedly.

"Fifth Master, it's bad! The people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are here!"

"what?"

Fu Mingli immediately lost interest, put on his pants, turned around and walked out, and asked angrily: "What are the emperor's people doing here at this time?"

"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's personal guard. He said he wants to take Su Shengming and Xingyue away!"

"How does this work?"

Fu Mingli was anxious. These two were his cash cows. One was worth 50,000 taels, and the other was worth 500,000 taels. Why would he give them away? Not even to the crown prince!

"But that's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He has issued an order, so how can we not obey?"

"No! I can't let the wealth I have worked so hard to obtain slip away like this... Wait! How did my brother know about this?"

"Someone must have informed on me."

Although Fu Mingli was greedy for money and lustful, he was not stupid. He immediately understood what was going on.

"It must be those bastards from the Lu family! Damn it, they actually dared to do something bad to me!"

"What should I do now?"

"No, I want to go see my brother and explain things to him in person."

The servant hurriedly stopped him: "I'm afraid His Highness won't see you."

"Why?" Fu Mingli stopped, looking puzzled.

"Your Highness is definitely planning to keep the money for himself. We can't stop him. It's better to send him there obediently. When the time comes, we can get the money and share less. It's better than wasting our time!"
