Chapter 1029: Chapter 1027: Su Yingxue Fainted

“The Empress is being rather overbearing with these words!”

Leng Muling couldn’t help but speak out, believing that women should behave with the dignity their gender demands, and grace and composure were fundamental.

How could she expect Chu Yihan, the Emperor, to have only her in his life?

It was utter treason!

“Before you become his Empress, you have no right to talk to me like this!”

Su Yingxue rebuked coldly, her gaze oppressively intense.

Leng Muling tried to speak again but found herself silenced by the overwhelming pressure.

Su Yingxue turned to Chu Yihan and pointed at the Leng sisters, “There is no place for them between you and me! You don’t know what I have done for you during this time, you—”

“And what about me? How else should I treat you?” Chu Yihan’s eyes were dark as an abyss, boundless and intimidating, driving away anyone who dared to peer into its depths.

He had been cautiously caring for her, cherishing her.

He had been afraid to even see her, lest he disturb her.

She could leave him to go with Qin Muyan, she still had her so-called fiancé, and there were guards by her side!

And it’s not okay for him to have two little girls by his side?

Not to mention, he hadn’t even clearly seen the faces of these two!

“You…”

Su Yingxue was stunned, a wave of grievance flooding her heart. She truly felt that Chu Yihan had changed, he wasn’t the same as before!

She was afraid, trembling with the fear that there were other women by his side.

Overcome with various emotions and agitation, Su Yingxue felt like a bottle filled to the brim, with the cork stuffed in, her grievances and anger trapped inside, as if about to burst her apart with pain!

She glared at Chu Yihan indignantly, and swung another punch at him, “Chu Yihan, you can’t—”

“What can’t I do!”

No sooner had this sentence finished than Su Yingxue fainted.

“Yingxue!”

Chu Yihan caught her around the waist, cradling her face. She was burning hot all over, probably because of the emotional outburst, and wouldn’t wake no matter how much he called her.

Zhuo Junli’s eyelids twitched slightly.

Leng Muling was shocked. “It seems like she fainted.”

Leng Shuqing nodded with a serious expression. “It’s not a matter of ‘seems’; she really did faint.”

Chu Yihan lifted Su Yingxue horizontally and rushed out of the restaurant.

He didn’t look back at Zhuo Junli as he left in a hurry, but as soon as Zhuo Junli, along with his two nieces, returned to the Prime Minister’s Estate, they were arrested by palace guards.

The old Prime Minister looked bewildered. “What’s going on? What crime has he committed?”

The palace guards, cold as ice, one after the other, said, “Prime Minister, we are simply following orders to arrest Lord Zhuo. We ask for the Prime Minister’s understanding.”

Leng Yi was given no face at all.

Leng Yi called his two granddaughters. Zhuo Junli had taken them out before his arrest.

The two obedient girls promptly told Leng Yi everything that had happened at the restaurant.

Leng Yi, enraged, paced back and forth in the front hall, his face contorted with fury, “That unfilial son! To take such a liberty with the Emperor Himself! The Emperor will not spare him!”

Su Yingxue had fainted from anger, how could he protect Zhuo Junli now?

He quickly changed his clothes and went to the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, putting on a long face, he delicately broached the situation to Su Qingzhi.

Upon hearing the news, Su Qingzhi exploded with rage, slamming his teacup on the table, “Old Leng, you’ve gone too far! My granddaughter hasn’t provoked you, and yet your son has the audacity to target her, not to mention, was it him who spread the rumor about the Emperor selecting a new concubine?”

Leng Yi’s face turned deep red with embarrassment. How could he know about Zhuo Junli’s scheming? However, judging from what his two granddaughters said, it seems likely to have been Zhuo Junli’s mischief.
