Chapter 653 I want to rectify my mistakes [Bonus chapter]
Miaoran didn't expect the matter to increase to a level that would lead Lóng Wei to beat Chen Xiao. Her mother-in-law, Chen Yiyi, started cursing her as she cried looking at her son who was lying unconscious on the ground.
Mingquan succeeded in lowering Lóng Wei's anger. After Chen Xiao was taken to his room, Mingquan told Chen Zhicun to prepare for the divorce between the two.
"Pardon me, Your Highness?" Zhicun didn't expect it. "His Highness tried to kill my son. I will take the matter to the King!" Zhicun announced.
"I don't care. Go and tell the King. Why did he bring my dead mother into this conversation?" Lóng Wei asked him and took a step forward when Mingquan held his arm.
Minister of Justice, Fu Lihuo, arrived at the residence and saw the blood stains on the floor. He looked at the princes when Zhicun raj to him.
"I am glad you come here. I request Minister of Justice to arrest–" Zhicun could not finish his words as Mingquan interrupted him.
"Chen Zhicun, your son did wrong. He has no right to defame Prince Lóng Wei and bring his mother in the conversation," Mingquan said and took a step forward.
"Minister Fu, there is no need to investigate anything neither this matter will go to the King. Because in the end, Chen Xiao will be considered wrong," Mingquan asserted.
"What if my son has died? Chen Xiao didn't say anything that could be a trigger for the Sixth Prince. Prince Lóng Wei has come here with the intention to kill my son. I will go to the King and ask for justice myself," Chen Zhicun pronounced.
"Go to the King then," Lóng Wei stated in a loud enough voice. "Who is he to bring my dead mother into the conversation which didn't even involve her? I would like to see all of you rotting in the prison. Go to the King and tell him everything. Don't forget to tell His Majesty how your son behaved with his wife. Do you think I will let him breathe among us after what he did?" He shouted at Zhicun.
Chen Zhicun got terrified and lowered his head. He was unable to speak anything.
Fu Lihuo looked at Mingquan and asked him if he would look into the matter.
"Yes. Minister Fu can also join me," Mingquan asserted.
Chen Zhicun wondered if he brought doom upon himself and asked them if Lóng Wei would not be punished.
"Why would I be punished? I did right to beat your son. He has no right to bring my mother into a conversation," Lóng Wei affirmed.
"The Sixth Prince is right, Chen Zhicun," Fu Lihuo said in his deep voice. "No one is allowed to speak about it in a wrong way. Prince Lóng Wei's mother is a deceased person and bringing her name into a conversation is irrelevant. Your son may get severely punished for it if the matter goes to the King," he explained to Zhicun.
Zhicun was a bit scared to hear about it and looked at Lóng Wei, who was burning with anger.
"I am leaving," Lóng Wei informed Mingquan and Feng Lao. "Make sure Miaoran gets rid of that evil man," he told Feng Lao and walked away.
"Bring your son to the ground of the capital's administrative office. The judgment will happen there," Mingquan told Zhicun and gazed at Fu Lihuo.
Feng Lao went to Miaoran and asked her to come with him. Miaoran nodded and she followed Feng Lao.
As they came out of the residence, Feng Lao noticed that Lóng Wei didn't leave in the carriage in which they had come. He paid the carriage's driver and entered the second one with Miaoran.
In the carriage, Miaoran gathered her courage and opened her mouth to speak. "Lord Shui, will Prince Lóng Wei be punished? I didn't want it to happen."
"Prince Lóng Wei will not be punished. Chen Xiao spoke wrong, so he deserved that beating," Feng Lao stated.
"I feel guilty," Miaoran said and lowered her gaze again.
"Don't be," Feng Lao told her. "Your husband should be guilty of his wrong actions and words," he asserted.

Lóng Wei encountered Kang Huijuan as he was heading to the palace. He ignored Kang Huijuan and walked at his pace.
"Prince Lóng Wei, how have you been?" Kang Huijuan asked.
Lóng Wei took a brief halt and said, "Good." He walked ahead without speaking further and made Kang Huijuan follow him.
"His Highness doesn't look well," Kang Huijuan said and started walking along with him. "I wanted to thank His Highness but could not get the right time to see him again," he stated.
"Huijuan, I am not in the right mood to speak with you. You should leave," Lóng Wei said with a stern tone.
"Why doesn't His Highness share about it with me?" Kang Huijuan asked him.
Lóng Wei sighed and stopped. "What? What do you want from me?" He asked. "Say it quickly!" He raised his voice at Huijuan.
"Ah, I was...I..." Kang Huijuan stuttered.
"Get lost," Lóng Wei said with annoyance and again resumed the walk.
Kang Huijuan furrowed his brows together. "Who annoyed Prince Lóng Wei?" He murmured and followed him silently.
"I thought only I could irk Prince Lóng Wei," Kang Huijuan said after he silently followed the prince. "Prince Lóng Wei should tell me the name of the person who did this. I will make sure to teach a good lesson to that person," he affirmed.
Lóng Wei stopped again. "Kang Huijuan, you are not supposed to behave this way. You should go home instead of following me. I told you to stay away from me. You should follow that command," he affirmed.
"Your Highness, I want to rectify my mistakes," Kang Huijuan said. "So, tell me who annoyed His Highness. I am as good as Prince Lóng Wei in punishing the people," he muttered.
"Chen Xiao," Lóng Wei replied and turned to look at him. "You don't need to do anything, Kang Huijuan. It's good to see you've changed a bit," he added.
