Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Heir’s Questioning and Ye Lei’s Response

As Prince Heir Luo spoke, he strode forward and viciously kicked Lan’er, who was kneeling on the ground.

Lan’er let out a miserable cry and collapsed on the ground. She endured Prince Heir Luo’s barrage of punches and kicks without moving, having clearly fainted from the pain.

Prince Heir Luo was furious, and he did not hold back his strength.

“Prince Heir Luo, please stop! She’s a witness and can’t come to harm!”

County Magistrate Su went to intervene, but it was too late. Lan’er was already motionless.

When Prince Heir Luo finally stopped, County Magistrate Su went to check on Lan’er, and found, unsurprisingly, that she was not moving at all.

County Magistrate Su’s face was filled with regret: “This… this is the witness! We need her to find Prefecture Princess Luo. Now… Luo’s Heir, look…”

He sighed regretfully twice.

Prince Heir Luo sneered internally—you didn’t want this girl to talk, and as for that annoying girl who was always against him, it would be better if the kidnappers tore her apart…

However, on the surface he wore a face of deep pain: “Ah! In my haste, I was too heavy-handed. Imperial physician! Where is the imperial physician? Hurry up and summon the imperial physician to see her and try to revive her quickly.”

“Yes!”

A guard accepted the command and left.

The corners of County Magistrate Su’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.

This place was in North City and the imperial doctor lived in North City. It would take at least two quarters of an hour for the guard to get the doctor to this place. Seeking far away instead of taking advantage of what was near, it was clear that they did not want the maid to speak!

County Magistrate Su stood upright, sadly—wasting the maid’s flower-like face!

He quickly tried to smile: “Prince Heir Luo truly sympathizes with his subordinates. Even for a lowly maid, he personally summoned the imperial physician to treat her. He’s truly a model for all.”

Hearing this, Di Yelei and the others lowered their heads to avoid looking at the opponent’s disgusting face.

Seemingly unaware, Prince Heir Luo’s gaze swept over Di Yelei and the others once more.

“Although this girl cannot speak for now, there are still a few people here who know the situation. This maid previously mentioned that it was the cousin from the uncle’s family who took Prefecture Princess Luo away.”

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The hairs on Di Yelei’s body stood up. Years of dealing with wild animals in the field had made him highly sensitive to killing intent.

At this moment, although the Prince Heir Luo was smiling heartily, the killing aura made Di Yelei’s muscles tense up in an instant, instinctively on guard.

“Prince Heir Luo is too serious! Prefecture Princess Luo indeed went to visit the lantern market with my wife and son, Xuan’er. However, they were accompanied not only by Xuan’er but also by Aunt Zhang Guihua and her family’s Zhang Yun, as well as my elderly father. Prince Heir Luo, please do not blindly believe in the words of a lowly maid and tarnish the reputation of the Prefecture Princess.”

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the matter could be resolved as such.

Originally standing on the side, Zhang Peng hurriedly stepped forward from the crowd and knelt down.

“Your Highness, my wife also went to the lantern market last night. Please, Your Highness, discern the truth!”

“Oh? By saying this, do you imply that I have made a mistake?”

Prince Heir Luo’s smile grew even more amiable: “Since you all claim to have been together, please produce the Prefecture Princess! If there is any further delay, don’t blame me for not being polite!”

Everyone’s previously settled hearts were raised again, they couldn’t help but lower their heads even more, fearing that the fiery anger would burn them.

“This…”

Di Yelei hesitated: “But after arriving at the lantern market, we all dispersed to guess riddles… We don’t know anything about what happened afterward.”

As Di Yelei spoke, he spread his hands in a gesture of innocence.

“Enough of your nonsense! Hand over the person quickly! Don’t think that just because this heir calls you uncle, you really consider yourself an elder of this heir.”

Heir Luo had a fierce expression, directly tearing off the facade. He looked Di Yelei up and down.

As for Di Yelei, he had heard quite a lot about him and also knew that the Gan Family and others did not see them off when they entered the capital. It seems that they didn’t like this so-called righteous daughter very much.

Di Yelei had a faint smile on his face while refusing to let his guard down: “Di doesn’t dare to claim random relatives.”

He did not dare to acknowledge such a vicious relative.

“Today you better obediently hand over the person.”

Heir Luo naturally heard the ridicule in his words. He stepped forward two steps and immediately grabbed onto Di Yelei’s throat with a merciless expression!

“If you still don’t hand her over, be careful that this heir treats you as an accomplice in the abduction of the Prefecture Princess and locks you up in the government’s prison. Let you taste all kinds of torture punishments. This heir wants to see whether your bones are harder or your mouth is tougher!”

As he spoke, his big hand clenched and squeezed, trying to crush Di Yelei’s throat in his grip…

These words made everyone around gasp! Their eyes widened in disbelief.

Even County Magistrate Su’s body trembled, he had always thought that Heir Luo was kind and affable, but he never expected that Heir Luo was ruthless when he turned his face!

Zhang Peng and Guihua, who were hiding in the corner, also tensed up, feeling their throats tighten.

“Heir Luo, you truly are capable! In broad daylight, you dare to openly kill your own uncle! Did you borrow the courage of the heavens ten times over?”

A voice as beautiful as the music of the immortals suddenly rang out from behind!

Although the newcomer was dressed in ordinary clothes and her hair only simply held up by a jade hairpin, her temperament was extraordinarily outstanding, and her appearance was exceptional. Though she was still young, she was undeniably a stunning girl. It was easy to see how, given time, this woman would become a beauty capable of causing the downfall of a nation.

And beside her stood another figure, if not Liu Sisi, who else could it be?

As soon as Liu Sisi appeared, her gaze stayed fixed on the figure gripping Di Yelei’s throat. Her ten fingernails dug into her palms, but she kept her lips pressed tightly and remained silent.

This sudden turn of events made everyone in the scene overjoyed! Especially Di Yelei, who seemed to have come back to life.

Heir Luo trembled all over and let go of his hand before turning his head violently.

Immediately afterward, his eyes narrowed into a pinpoint and then suddenly widened. He let out a cold laugh, wearing a loving elder brother’s concern on his face.

“Little sister! It turns out you’re still alive, how happy your brother is! It’s all the fault of this lowly maid! She came to report that you were kidnapped and your whereabouts were unknown. Your brother was so worried about you that he came to ask about your location.”

As he spoke, he raised his foot and directly kicked the maid who was lying on the ground.

With a scream, Lan’er, who had just woken up, fainted once again.
