Grand Preceptor Pang's face swelled red, his eyes stared straight at Yan Jue, but he was unable to say a single word.
"My wife is the only kind one. If Pang Yue Qiu dares to talk back in front of this duke, then this duke will not simply break her hand."
Yan Jue spoke while shouting for his wife. Even if the two of them were not married yet due to the current situation, he wanted to let everyone in the imperial court know that Liu Tian Xin was the one that Prince Lu was going to marry, and behind her, was the one being protected by Prince Lu. Anyone who dared to bully Princess Tian Xin would be opposing him, slapping him in the face.
As his voice fell, Yan Yuan loosened his grip, and the old bones of the Grand Preceptor Pang fell to the ground, "Grand Preceptor Pang has a message to bring to Pang Yue Qiu, if you meet this duke in the future, it's best to avoid it, and this duke has always been good at holding a grudge. This duke has already remembered the grudge my wife gets from being bullied, if she doesn't want to live to the point of death, just avoid it obediently.
[Is the eighth prince going to make trouble for no reason?!]
Your wife has already broken his hand, how can he be bullied by others?
Grand Preceptor Pang did not know whether he was angry or scared, but obviously, he understood what Yan Jue was saying.
In the future, if her daughter met this unreasonable person on the street, he would most likely beat her!
"Alright, Eighth Imperial Uncle, I will investigate this matter in detail. If this matter occurred because of the Miss Pang, I will definitely not let you off lightly."
Yan Shuo's words were spoken towards the Grand Preceptor Pang, and the warning made the Grand Preceptor Pang understand that he wanted to seek justice for his daughter in front of the Kaiser, so other than bringing disgrace to himself, there was nothing else he could do.
Grand Preceptor Pang felt a surge of Qi and blood surge up, blocking his throat, the thick smell of blood instantly permeating through his mouth.
He glared at Yan Jue fiercely and swallowed the mouthful of blood back down. He did not expect anyone to see him being angered by Yan Jue to the point of spitting out blood.
Not only did the Grand Preceptor Pang not cause Liu Ruo Qing and Liu Tian Xin to fall, he had also put himself in a difficult situation which they had to ridicule. The more he thought about it, the more furious he became.
Outside of Zhaoming Hall, he forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood.
When an official saw her, he hurried forward to ask, "Grand Preceptor, are you alright?"
Grand Preceptor Pang waved his hands weakly. Just as he was about to leave, he saw Yan Jue coming out of the hall, and the instant their gazes met, Yan Jue's face instantly turned into a sheet of ice. His bottomless black pupils were like a deep pool, bottomless, but they were extremely terrifying.
Yan Jue withdrew his gaze from Grand Preceptor Pang's face. Grand Preceptor Pang was startled for a few seconds, and then slightly heaved a sigh of relief, as though he did not notice that he was shocked by Yan Jue's gaze.
Grand Preceptor Pang looked at Yan Jue's figure from the back, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred!
He never thought that this Prince Lu would be so shameless. His woman had clearly twisted off Qiu Er's hand, but how could he act so righteously like Qiu Er was bullying her?
Grand Preceptor Pang snorted angrily, spitting out a mouthful of blood, "All of you just wait for me!"
After exiting the palace, he got on a palanquin and headed back to the Pang Mansion. A moment later, the palanquin stopped in a small alley and the Grand Preceptor Pang got down from it.
"Don't worry, milord. There's no one around."
"Alright, you can carry the palanquin back."
"Yes."
The palanquin man carried the palanquin and left the alleyway. Grand Preceptor Pang pushed open the door and entered the back door of a nearby house.
"Grand Preceptor Pang?"
Shen Qin who had just finished visiting Liu Ruo Qing was about to return home, but when she passed by a shop, she saw Grand Preceptor Pang's palanquin coming out from a small alley in the distance, and left with a calm expression.
Shen Qin's eyes flashed with a trace of confusion, "Why is Grand Preceptor Pang going there?"
As a scout for the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Shen Qin felt that there must be a problem with the appearance of the Grand Preceptor Pang there.
In that alley, there were only two old courtyards that he could not control. Grand Preceptor Pang, a minister ranked in the top three, what was he doing there?
With a puzzled expression, she followed the sedan bearers into the alley.
The back doors on both sides of the alley were locked. This made Shen Qin even more baffled.
How could these uninhabited courtyards be locked from the inside?
With that in mind, Shen Qin looked at the walls on both sides of the courtyard.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it was obvious that no one was living in it.
Shen Qin frowned, her eyes scanned his surroundings cautiously, and then she looked at his surroundings again.
As the hall master of Heavencraft Pavilion's Vermillion Bird Hall, she had been a scout for more than 10 years. This made her perception of her surroundings change much more than an ordinary person's.
Even though there were no signs of people staying here, it was obvious that someone had stepped on the withered grass. Furthermore, the marks on the ground were new.
In other words, the Grand Preceptor Pang was here.
It was very clear that there was no one in the palanquin. This further confirmed Shen Qin's suspicions that Grand Preceptor Pang must be in this courtyard just now.
Recently, Grand Preceptor Pang had been continuously biting onto Liu Ruo Qing, which naturally caused Shen Qin to pay more attention to her abnormal actions.
Even if she had to use the Grand Preceptor Pang's weakness, he could still behave.
As long as Grand Preceptor Pang did not take the lead, who under him would dare go against him?
Thinking about this, Shen Qin walked in again.
There was no one in any of the rooms. She followed the tracks of the dead grass and stopped at a remote wooden house in the courtyard.
She pressed her ear against the door and listened. She didn't hear a sound.
The wooden door had originally been covered in thick dust, so the fingerprints of the few people who had pushed open the door were now very clear.
The Grand Preceptor Pang is inside?
But why was there no sound?
Shen Qin looked up at the rooftop, and then gently jumped up.
The roof of the hut was covered by a thin layer of thatch. Shen Qin flipped it lightly and opened it.
Inside the wooden house, other than an old wooden table and four wooden stools, there was nothing else.
The wooden stools and tables were covered in dust. Clearly, no one had ever sat on them before.
Seeing that, Shen Qin squinted her eyes in thought.
The Grand Preceptor Pang came to this hut, but there was no one around. There were no other doors around the hut, so it was impossible for him to leave through any other door.
Strange?
Where did he go?
She jumped thoughtfully off the roof and pushed the door gently open.
The room was just as she'd seen it from the roof. Simple furniture.
She stood in the room and observed it for a long time. Her many years of habit had made her immediately start searching for the hidden mechanism for this wooden house.
His hand gently caressed anything related to the mechanism, only to find nothing.
