Su Yunmo followed closely behind, chasing after them.
Seeing that she was determined to kill the man, Prince Yun Yi shook his head helplessly, put down his teacup, and followed.
Wang Yi, having been beaten to the ground this time, was in no condition to stand up.
The surrounding servants wanted to step forward but were once again forced back by Su Yunmo’s glare.
Wang Yi cried out in anguish, "Do you know the crime for assaulting an official of the court? Even as the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion, you cannot be exempted!"
Su Yunmo rode on top of him and punched out another of his teeth, "I don't know the crime for assaulting an official of the court, but I know the crime for kidnapping the legitimate son of the General's Mansion!"
Wang Yi's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously glanced at Prince Yun Yi, who had just walked out of the hall.
He had already instructed his servants to move Su Sizhuo away. By all rights, they shouldn't be able to find him.
Perhaps she was bluffing.
Wang Yi comforted himself with this thought.
He decided to take a gamble, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know anything!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ningyuan appeared, supporting Su Sizhuo, coming from the direction of the woodshed.
Su Sizhuo was still unconscious, almost entirely leaning on Ye Ningyuan as she dragged him along.
Ye Ningyuan was already tired, and hearing Wang Yi's stubborn denial made her even more furious. "You dare to do it but not admit it? Mo Mo, just beat him to death!"
What a scumbag!
Seeing Su Sizhuo rescued, Wang Yi lost all hope.
He looked at Prince Yun Yi and pleaded, "Your Highness, please save this old servant. This old servant was just momentarily blinded by greed."
Wang Yi now regretted seeking revenge for his daughter. He had not only failed to avenge her but had also gotten himself into trouble. This was truly a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice!
Prince Yun Yi's eyes flickered, his gaze falling on Su Sizhuo.
No wonder that little girl was so angry. Anyone would be furious if their family was harmed for no reason.
However…
"Little one, don't cause trouble for this King," Prince Yun Yi's tone carried a hint of warning.
Ye Ningyuan frowned and was about to speak.
Prince Yun Yi interrupted her, "You little rascal, even your father can't do everything."
Although the Emperor trusted him now, emperors had always been heartless, and their favor was hard to maintain.
Who knew how long this trust would last?
Now that he had the Emperor's favor, he could do anything. But if something were to happen in the future, all these actions could be brought up as past mistakes.
Ye Ningyuan's expression also became complicated upon hearing this.
Since returning to the capital, although she had been granted the title of County Princess, she knew how she had obtained it.
Sometimes, especially when dealing with imperial power, one couldn't go too far.
"Mo Mo," Ye Ningyuan called out to Su Yunmo, hoping she would listen to reason.
A murderous glint flashed in Su Yunmo's eyes, and she narrowed them dangerously.
After a long moment, she landed one last punch on Wang Yi's head.
Wang Yi spat out more blood and then fainted.
Su Yunmo took half a step back and raised her voice, "Since Your Highness is pleading for him, I will let him go. However, kidnapping the legitimate son of the General's Mansion is no small matter."
Prince Yun Yi threw out a sentence, "Whether the crime is big or small, the law will decide."
On the roof beam not far away, a figure flashed, and something gleamed.
Su Yunmo noticed it.
A cold smile flickered in her eyes, and she raised her voice even higher, "Your Highness is right. Then let's send him to the yamen for questioning."
Su Yunmo paused, then added, "Moreover, I believe such a matter couldn't have been conceived by him alone. Perhaps there is an instigator behind him. It would be even better if they could be found through interrogation."
Prince Yun Yi narrowed his eyes, a faint glow appearing in them.
"Does that even need asking? It's highly likely to be Luo Yinfeng!" Ye Ningyuan said indignantly.
Prince Yun Yi sighed inwardly and glanced at his foolish daughter.
He couldn't quite understand it. Normally, Ningyuan was clever and quick-witted, but whenever she encountered that girl Su Yunmo, her intelligence seemed to drop.
As if to confirm Prince Yun Yi's guess, an arrow pierced the air and lodged itself directly into Wang Yi.
Wang Yi died with a mouthful of blood, without even a groan.
"Ah!!" The servants who witnessed it screamed in horror.
The mansion immediately descended into chaos.
This sudden turn of events startled even Ye Ningyuan, but she wasn't foolish. She immediately realized that Su Yunmo's words were a ploy to use someone else's knife to kill.
She probably assumed that Luo Yinfeng, guilty and afraid that Wang Yi would fail, had someone watching in secret, ready to silence him if the matter threatened him.
Mo Mo had knocked Wang Yi unconscious earlier to prevent him from passing any messages to the guards in the shadows.
Intentionally causing the hidden guard to make a wrong judgment!
"Mo Mo, well done!" Ye Ningyuan didn't feel stupid at all; instead, her admiration for Su Yunmo grew.
This way, the enemy was killed, and her father wouldn't have to bear any risks.
After all, everyone saw that a thief had killed someone in broad daylight, and no one could stop it.
Su Yunmo shook her fist, flicking off the blood, and then cupped her hands towards Prince Yun Yi, "Thank you for your help today, Your Highness."
Prince Yun Yi looked at her with a deep gaze, remaining silent, only feeling more and more that this young girl before him was truly extraordinary and ruthless.
"Mo Mo, come help me, I'm exhausted." Ye Ningyuan was already struggling to hold Su Sizhuo.
Su Yunmo strode over, used her abilities to lift Su Sizhuo onto her shoulder, "I'll head back for today."
"Alright," Ye Ningyuan nodded, not intending to accompany Su Yunmo back to the General's Mansion.
Although Wang Yi was killed by a villain, this matter still needed to be reported to the Emperor. There were many things to resolve afterward, and she feared her father wouldn't be able to handle it alone, so she had to stay and help.
Su Yunmo pursed her lips in acknowledgment and left with Su Sizhuo.
Seeing how effortlessly she carried Su Sizhuo, Ye Ningyuan sighed inwardly, "It's good to have abilities."
It was a pity that although her mother was from the Southern Border, her father was from a foreign tribe, and she herself did not possess any abilities.
"Let's get to work," Prince Yun Yi reminded her sternly, telling her to stop daydreaming.
Ye Ningyuan nodded and went to help.
Meanwhile, Su Yunmo carried Su Sizhuo out of Wang Yi's mansion.
Lin Lang was waiting anxiously by the carriage. Seeing the siblings emerge, she immediately stepped forward to help, lifting Su Sizhuo into the carriage.
After safely placing him, Lin Lang drove the carriage back to the General's Mansion as quickly as possible.
The steward, seeing Su Sizhuo in such a state after going out, was also extremely worried. He helped to move Su Sizhuo to his room.
"Remember to instruct the servants that no one is to say anything to Mother," Su Yunmo instructed before returning to the inner chambers.
The steward understood.
Madam had just recovered, and she was already overwhelmed with worries about matters inside and outside the mansion. If she were to learn that the young master was so severely injured, it would only cause her more distress.
