“Seventh Prince, you should think more clearly. No one in the world would dare steal from the Ninth Prince. Since it’s in my hands, Your Highness must have given it to me. As he has, 1 have the right to use the cold jade to enter and leave the imperial prison. 1 also request a thorough investigation into my clinic harboring a fugitive!”
She emphasized the word ‘fugitive’, compelling Chu Chengye to take it seriously.
He waved his hand coldly. “Take this person to the court. 1’11 personally judge him!”
Su Yingxue hadn’t expected Chu Chengye to handle the case so seriously. Without asking Qin Muyan a few questions, he declared his guilt, throwing him back into the cell. Furthermore, he concluded that the clinic’s harboring constituted a grave offense, and they all must face legal consequences.
Su Yingxue intercepted Chu Chengye. “Is this how the Seventh Prince manages the Ministry of Justice? With such management, how many unjust cases will arise? How many innocents will die!”
“Do 1 need you to teach me how to work? Su Yingxue, if you can get imperial uncle’s cold jade, then ask imperial uncle to help you! Let’s see if he can intervene! If you’re incapable, just watch everyone in the clinic fall into my hands!”
Chu Chengye’s smile held a trace of malice.
Rather than immediately seeking Chu Yihan, Su Yingxue visited the Capital Prefecture and consulted Liang Jin about the matter.
Liang Jin sighed. “Miss Su, if the Seventh Prince presides, this matter might be challenging.”
“Why? Can’t Lord Liang help?” Su Yingxue was puzzled.
Although the Ministry of Justice handled cases nationwide, Liang Jin oversaw all cases in Jiang Du City. If he wanted to bring this issue to trial, he should have the authority, right?
Moreover…
Before Su Yingxue could mention Chu Yihan’s name, Liang Jin informed her, “1 fear even the Ninth Prince can’t intervene in this matter. Although you can use the cold jade to enter the Ministry of Justice’s prison, the late emperor decreed that Your Highness should never interfere with the Ministry of Justice. Otherwise, he’d be charged with treason!”
“Why?” Su Yingxue’s expression was filled with doubt.
The late emperor had such a decree?
Did Chu Yihan do something?
“When Your Highness was young, he accidentally killed a Minister of Justice. Despite sparing his life, the emperor strictly prohibited Your Highness from meddling in the Ministry of Justice. The Seventh Prince boldly bringing someone to the Ministry of Justice indicates it was premeditated.”
Liang Jin clarified the situation for Su Yingxue.
She nodded slightly in gratitude. “Thank you, Lord Liang.”
Given the circumstances, she couldn’t involve Chu Yihan.
She had to rely on herself to save everyone from the clinic.
However, she hadn’t yet figured out how to confront Chu Chengye. She summoned Zi Wei and instructed him, “Take this Heart Protection Pill to that man from Great Wei Dynasty, and tell him that even if he dies, I’ll go to Meng Po and retrieve him. Don’t let Chu Chengye harm him.”
Zi Wei nodded. “Understood.”
With Zi Wei overseeing the Ministry of Justice’s prison, Su Yingxue felt less concerned.
As soon as she entered the Marquis’s Manor, Su Dingheng summoned her to the front hall.
Holding the account book, he hurled it at her when she arrived. “Su Yingxue, what have you done? The accounts are a mess, and things are a complete mess. How are you managing this household!”
Su Yingxue dodged the attack, grabbing the account book. She explained in a subdued tone, “Father, something happened at the clinic. I’ve been a bit busy.” “You’re busy? If you’re busy, why bother with the household? Since you can’t manage this pair of tokens properly, I’m taking them back completely. Go busy yourself at the clinic. You don’t need to manage the household anymore!”
Su Dingheng’s face was filled with anger..
