Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Heir’s Questioning and Ye Lei’s Response
As Prince Heir Luo spoke, he strode forward and viciously kicked Lan’er, who was kneeling on the ground.
Lan’er let out a miserable cry and collapsed on the ground. She endured Prince Heir Luo’s barrage of punches and kicks without moving, having clearly fainted from the pain.
Prince Heir Luo was furious, and he did not hold back his strength.
“Prince Heir Luo, please stop! She’s a witness and can’t come to harm!”
County Magistrate Su went to intervene, but it was too late. Lan’er was already motionless.
When Prince Heir Luo finally stopped, County Magistrate Su went to check on Lan’er, and found, unsurprisingly, that she was not moving at all.
County Magistrate Su’s face was filled with regret: “This… this is the witness! We need her to find Prefecture Princess Luo. Now… Luo’s Heir, look…”
He sighed regretfully twice.
Prince Heir Luo sneered internally—you didn’t want this girl to talk, and as for that annoying girl who was always against him, it would be better if the kidnappers tore her apart…
However, on the surface he wore a face of deep pain: “Ah! In my haste, I was too heavy-handed. Imperial physician! Where is the imperial physician? Hurry up and summon the imperial physician to see her and try to revive her quickly.”
“Yes!”
A guard accepted the command and left.
The corners of County Magistrate Su’s mouth twitched imperceptibly.
This place was in North City and the imperial doctor lived in North City. It would take at least two quarters of an hour for the guard to get the doctor to this place. Seeking far away instead of taking advantage of what was near, it was clear that they did not want the maid to speak!
County Magistrate Su stood upright, sadly—wasting the maid’s flower-like face!
He quickly tried to smile: “Prince Heir Luo truly sympathizes with his subordinates. Even for a lowly maid, he personally summoned the imperial physician to treat her. He’s truly a model for all.”
Hearing this, Di Yelei and the others lowered their heads to avoid looking at the opponent’s disgusting face.
Seemingly unaware, Prince Heir Luo’s gaze swept over Di Yelei and the others once more.
“Although this girl cannot speak for now, there are still a few people here who know the situation. This maid previously mentioned that it was the cousin from the uncle’s family who took Prefecture Princess Luo away.”
The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and a killing intent flashed in his eyes.
The hairs on Di Yelei’s body stood up. Years of dealing with wild animals in the field had made him highly sensitive to killing intent.
At this moment, although the Prince Heir Luo was smiling heartily, the killing aura made Di Yelei’s muscles tense up in an instant, instinctively on guard.
“Prince Heir Luo is too serious! Prefecture Princess Luo indeed went to visit the lantern market with my wife and son, Xuan’er. However, they were accompanied not only by Xuan’er but also by Aunt Zhang Guihua and her family’s Zhang Yun, as well as my elderly father. Prince Heir Luo, please do not blindly believe in the words of a lowly maid and tarnish the reputation of the Prefecture Princess.”
Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that the matter could be resolved as such.
Originally standing on the side, Zhang Peng hurriedly stepped forward from the crowd and knelt down.
“Your Highness, my wife also went to the lantern market last night. Please, Your Highness, discern the truth!”
“Oh? By saying this, do you imply that I have made a mistake?”
