Chi Wanyue was not happy to hear what she said and gave her a cold look: "Second aunt, when it comes to the ability to cause trouble, no one can compare to your second wife. Besides, haven't you enjoyed the honor and money of the Hou Mansion?

Why do you curse me when you put down the bowl?"

"Hey, what did you say? I am your second aunt after all. How can you be so disrespectful to your elders?"

"Shut up! You have the nerve to say you are an elder. Do you look like you are an elder?"

Mrs. Chi couldn't bear it anymore and scolded her. What else did Li want to say? Chi Qingliu was brought over.

As soon as she saw her family members, she immediately started running, reached out and grabbed Li's clothes, with a bit of fear on her face: "Mom, what's going on?"

"I don't know, ask your uncle."

Chi Rui glanced at her, not even bothering to argue with her, and directly replied: "If something really happened to our main house and we must die, then you will die too!"

What's the use of all this nonsense?

"Then, didn't we die unjustly?"

No one wanted to talk, Chi Liang pulled her arm, frowned and said, "Can you stop talking?"

"What I said is correct."

"Okay, mother, stop talking."

Chi Qingliu also felt embarrassed and couldn't help but tried to dissuade him.

Mrs. Li didn't know what she muttered and stopped talking.

They followed these soldiers all the way to the prison and were interrogated in turns.

After arriving at Zhao Prison, they saw another person in the prison, Chi Qingyang from the second room.

Chi Qingyang was beaten so hard that the corners of his mouth were bruised, and he didn't know what happened.

When Mrs. Li saw him, she was startled and ran forward quickly, reaching out and touching the corner of his mouth.

"What...what's going on, Qingyang, why are they still beating people?"

Chi Qingyang was frightened out of his wits a long time ago. When he saw Mrs. Li, he was so frightened that he cried bitterly: "Mother."

When Mrs. Li saw that her son was so wronged, she couldn't hold back any longer. Regardless of whether this was a prison or not, she started making trouble like a crazy woman and raised her hand to grab the hair of the soldier next to her.

"Did you beat my son? Do you not want to live if your son dares to beat me?"

"Stop, stop, what are you doing?"

The soldiers next to her tried to start a fight, but they were all pulled by Li Li's hair. She showed extraordinary bravery at this time, and three or four soldiers could not restrain her.

Chi Rui and the others stood aside, sighing in unison, raising their hands to cover their foreheads, looking like they couldn't bear to look directly at them.

Mrs. Chi even felt that most of her life had been ruined by the Li family. What evil had the Chi family done?

If I had known that Mrs. Li had such a temper, even if Chi Liang was allowed to be a bachelor, he should not have brought such a scourge into the family.

Seeing the chaos, the general pulled out his sword, put it on Chi Qingyang's neck, and roared.

"stop!"

"Mother, mother, please stop."

Mrs. Li was in full swing when she saw that her son's neck was being held, and he immediately stopped.

"Every wrongdoer has his own fault, and every debtor has his own owner. You can just arrest whoever causes trouble. Why do you want to drag us innocent people into this?"

The general snorted: "Innocent? Your son is suspected of treason."

These words shocked everyone, and Mrs. Li was also dumbfounded. There was a vibrato in her voice when she spoke.

"Conspiracy...rebellion? You...what are you talking nonsense about? My son is loyal and honest, how could he rebel?"

"Yes, you heard it right, it's rebellion."

A male voice came from behind them, with a hint of arrogance, causing everyone to turn their heads and look over.

The person who came was the official in charge of the imperial edict—Liu Zheng.

Chi Wanyue frowned. She remembered that Liu Zheng was a subordinate of the third prince. In his previous life, he followed Ning Hanyu and made great contributions.

However, he later died in a counter-rebellion.

In this life, he appeared very early.

Chi Rui also recognized him and snorted coldly: "Who do I think I am? It turned out that he was a handyman behind our army's Chi Jiajun back then. How come he is now a prison officer and is so blind that he can't even see himself before?"

I don’t even know my master anymore.”

Liu Zheng's face quickly flashed with viciousness, he squinted his eyes, looked at Chi Rui, took a few steps towards him, cupped his hands and said, "Old Marquis, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Chi Rui turned his face aside and disdained to talk to him.

Liu Zheng stood up and walked aside, his eyes passing over Chi Qingyang's body.

"Master Hou, I am only acting according to orders. Don't blame me."

"Chi Qingyang gathered the literati in Changjing to plot a rebellion. We must find out and report it to the emperor."

"I didn't, I didn't rebel, I just wrote a few poems."

Upon hearing this, Chi Qingyang quickly retorted.

Liu Zheng snorted disdainfully.

"We caught you on the spot gathering in a restaurant and privately printing a collection of poems, including anti-poems. Do you think you can get away with it?"

"If this matter is really found to have anything to do with you, your entire residence will be ransacked and exterminated."

"What?"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she fainted.

Everyone glanced at her, but no one cared.

Mrs. Chi's eyes became very stern, she looked at Chi Qingyang, and her voice deepened: "Qingyang, tell me, what is going on?"

Chi Qingyang was so frightened that his legs trembled and he almost knelt on the ground. Hearing Mrs. Chi's inquiry, he turned his head and looked over, crying as he spoke.

"Grandma, you know your grandson. Although he has no great future, he is unlikely to do such a treasonous thing."

"That collection of poems is a collection of poems that we wrote during our daily gatherings. We wanted to keep them as a souvenir. They are just idle poems for entertainment. There is no rebellion at all."

Chi Wanyue suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Chi Qingyang, and asked: "You said you were doing big things recently, is this what you are doing?"

Chi Qingyang looked at Chi Wanyue, a little confused and a little surprised: "How do you know?"

Chi Wanyue said: "It's just a wild guess."

Chi Qingyang has never done anything serious. He always likes to be arty and compose poems with his so-called friends.

Combining the money Li lost previously and what Liu Zheng said just now, it is not difficult to guess.

"Where are those poetry collections?"

After hearing Chi Wanyue's question, Liu Zheng turned to look at her. Although he was smiling, he raised his head and looked like a villain who had succeeded.

"Little Princess, I won't bother you with this matter. We'll investigate. You can just wait peacefully in the prison for the results of our investigation."

Seeing him like this, Chi Wanyue sneered: "With your brain, can you understand?"

"You...you are a prisoner now, and I am the prison officer. It is better for the princess to be careful what she says."

Liu Zheng's expression suddenly changed, he held a riding crop in his hand and pointed at Chi Wanyue, his tone also became fierce.
