“Your Highness, grievances of the people must be resolved.” Cen Hong stated bluntly.

“Whose grievance?” Yang Ye pointed his fan at Mrs. Sun who was slumped on the ground, “Hers? This unmanageable woman, if it were up to me, I would have thrown her into prison to serve. Considering what Miss Qiao just said, isn’t it enough to sever relations?”

“In response to Your Highness, the ‘Daqi Law’ does not contain the provision to sever relationships.”

“Hmph!” Upon hearing this, Yang Ye coldly chuckled, so Cen Hong dares to use ‘Daqi Law’ to oppose him.

“Outside the bounds of law, humanity exists.” His handsome face bore a frosty veneer.

Cen Hong, seemingly oblivious to his scowl, respectfully said, “Regarding this matter, in my humble opinion, we should abide by the ‘Daqi Law’. Even though Mrs. Sun’s actions are detestable, the grace of her raising them remains. Now that she knows her mistake, and considering the current circumstances of the Qiao Family.”

“Even from a perspective of emotions, Miss Qiao should not be so ruthless.”

“General Cen, if you walked in their shoes, would you want Mrs. Sun as your grandmother?” Yang Ye’s phoenix eyes were filled with coldness.

“Your Highness, I do not have such a grandmother. Adjudications should not be based on such assumptions.” Cen Hong replied without yielding.

Yang Ye’s eyebrows knitted into a frown, his handsome face remaining expressionless.

Cen Hong being a senior official of the first rank, and he, a relaxed prince, although favored, was unable to prevent Cen Hong from using the ‘Daqi Law’ in the current situation.

Cen Hong was one of his third brother’s men. This time he had invited Ma Dongshu over, and Cen Hong had followed under the guise of inspecting Huai’an County’s military defense.

Now, seeing him defend Qiao Xiaomai, he decided to confront him.

Ultimately, Cen Hong was using Qiao Xiaomai to probe his intentions.

Privately taking a breath, he was about to speak when the dean of the institute residing in a room came out.

The dean’s gaze swept over Cen Hong and Qiao Xiaomai, finally glancing at Mrs. Sun, he said with a furrowed brow, “General Cen, you insist on the law while His Highness insists on human compassion. If that’s the case, we should let the Emperor Yongan decide.”

“I will write a petition now and send it to Capital City with utmost urgency.”

According to the provisions of the ‘Daqi Law’, unless the parents or grandparents murder their children or grandchildren, the government office will not intervene in regular cases.

Moreover, the ‘Daqi Law’ indeed does not contain the provision to sever relationships.

If Cen Hong insists on using the ‘Daqi Law’ to handle the matter, then he has no other option but to present it to Emperor Yongan.

Emperor Yongan ordered him to look after Qiao Xiaomai, this matter has exceeded his ability.

“What?!” Cen Hong became visibly taken aback upon hearing this, “Such a trivial matter warrants the Emperor’s attention?”

He merely wanted to probe Yang Ye’s intentions. For such a small matter, was it really necessary to involve Emperor Yongan? Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏(.)c𝒐m

“You argue for the law, His Highness argues for human compassion, although the matter is small, once you and His Highness get involved, it is no longer a trifling matter.” The dean said and looked at Tong Sanlang who was standing by, “Sanlang, bring me the writing brush, ink, paper, and ink slab.”

“No need.” Qiao Xiaomai coldly said, “For such a trivial matter, there is no need to involve the Emperor. Like I said, I, Qiao Xiaomai, do not acknowledge Mrs. Sun as my grandmother, no matter who comes, I will not recognize.”

“Mr. Cen, are you saying I have a life debt to repay? Then I will repay this life to Mrs. Sun right now.”

At the end of her statement, she promptly rushed into the shed.

She lifted the vegetable knife that was laid on the table, grasped it with both hands, hoisted it high, and savagely hacked at her own left thigh.

A spray of blood sprayed upwards, rapidly soaking her clothes in red..
