Chapter 229: Return Ten Times As Much 3

"Princess Bei Yue is young and didn't understand, so she had openly offended Duke An. Duke An must have harbored hatred within his heart, so he had secretly sent people to set fire to Princess Bei Yue's Flowing Cloud Pavilion, attempting to burn her to death! "

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they heard that. It was Duke An who wanted to harm Princess Bei Yue?

Xiao Yuan Cheng rubbed his chin as his mind spun. He immediately understood Concubine Qin's intentions. He was overjoyed in his heart!

Good Qin'er! After all these years, I haven't realized that you're actually a smart person!

"Reporting to Your Highness, the day the Duke An's broke off the engagement, his attitude was arrogant and aggressive. He had also insulted and humiliated Princess Bei Yue multiple times. He was truly being unreasonable! Bei Yue's insensible nature had caused Duke An and his son to lose face. But I would've never thought that he would actually resort to murder. Duke An is truly ruthless!"

These past few days, he had been constantly suppressed by the people of the residence of Duke An, making him dissatisfied. At this moment, he must seize this opportunity and throw all the dirty water onto the Duke of An's body!

Huang Bei Yue looked coldly at these people. These people are great at imitating the dogs and stealing the chicken, framing and setting up traps for others!

However, framing Duke An isn't a bad idea.

As Zhan Ye listened, his brows gradually furrowed. When Duke An had broken off the marriage agreement with Princess Bei Yue, Duke An had lost face. Thus, he had kept it a secret. However, news had still leaked out and he had also heard about it.

For a moment, he felt his heart brimming with pity for Huang Bei Yue. Ever since imperial aunt had passed away, how had an orphan girl like her, managed to survive in such a large manor?

He knows about the rules of survival in big families. He had thought that she would be neglected in the residence, but he didn't expect that even the Duke of An would dare to break off the engagement and humiliate her!

A trace of heartache suddenly rose in Zhan Ye's heart as he spoke coldly, "I will thoroughly investigate this matter. If it's really done by the people of Duke of An's residence, then there'll be no mercy!"

Xiao Yao was overjoyed. Even the crown prince was furious! The people from Duke of An's residence would definitely not be able to bear the consequences!

Not waiting for him to finish being happy, Huang Bei Yue walked up and said, "I don't dare to trouble Your Highness. We should hand this matter over to the people under the Commander of Justice. The Commander of Justice, Geng Zhong will definitely enforce the law impartially."

Zhan Ye gave it some serious thought before saying, "Commander of Justice, Geng Zhong is a reliable person. He's impartial and can handle matters flawlessly. I'll be reassured if this matter is handed to him."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The corner of Huang Bei Yue's mouth rose. That Commander of Justice, Geng Zhong is a very fierce character. He doesn't show the slightest mercy to anyone. The matters that enter his hand would definitely let the truth come to light

The person who set fire to kill her today is probably so scared that he wants to die!

Huang Bei Yue turned her head to look at kneeling Concubine Qin who wanted to frame Duke An and Xiao Yuan Cheng who was very happy just a moment ago. The subtle expressions on their faces right now really makes people feel refreshed!

They thought that by making Zhan Ye angry, the people from the Duke of An's residence would suffer. But they would've never imagined that in the middle of their plan, Huang Bei Yue would jump out and hand this matter to the Commander of Justice!

Geng Zhong was simply a piece of stinky stone, cold and hard! Once he arrives, everything that had happened in Princess Zhang's residence would definitely be exposed!
