Chapter 735: Chapter 735: See Again (4)_1

"We have received some information," Chu Suifeng chose not to withhold the truth from them, "It appears that someone from the North Country has kidnapped the Princess."

"So much for you being a Prince. My sister was kidnapped from within the royal residence. What use are your Black Armoured Guards?" Lin Changting glared at him in anger.

"Brother," Lin Changshu played the elder’s part, sternly chastising him.

"It’s the barbaric Tatars who are to blame." For once, Lin Zige did not lose her temper, instead siding with Chu Suifeng.

"Watch how you speak to the Prince," the old master rebuked, enraged.

Changting, having received rebuke from his family, tearfully broke down.

Chu Suifeng had barely slept last night; his face was haggard and his eyes were even more red, and the accusations from Lin Changting were hard for him to bear. "I’m sorry. It was my fault. I did not protect your sister well. Rest assured, I swear on my life that I will find her as quickly as possible and bring her back safely," he declared.

At his words, Lin Changting’s tears fell even harder.

"My lord, Madame You seeks an audience," Bai Xian reported, his face grave.

Following him, Situ Gong spoke up, "Madame You seems to know the princess’s whereabouts."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Lin Zige was eager to rush out and question Madame You herself.

"Stay put. You’re always restless. Wait until the prince has handled this, then you will naturally know. Don’t cause trouble," the old master scolded.

"Sister, listen to Grandfather," Guo Huiniang held her back.

"Prepare some food for our grandmaster and his companions," Chu Suifeng, suppressing his urgency, arranged for the members of the Lin Family to be taken care of first.

"My Lord, I will take good care of the Old Master," Qin Aunt bowed in response.

"Go for it. There are people watching our side. We are all family. You don’t have to worry about us," the old master waved his hand and told her.

Chu Suifeng nodded in acknowledgment and quickly walked out of the courtyard with Congyi and others. The idea that Madame You might know Lin Ziyin’s whereabouts made him want to move three steps at a time.

"Old Master, please," Qin Aunt led the elderly Lin towards the floral hall.

On the other side, Madame You had been brought into a room by the Black Armoured Guards. She only had one maidservant accompanying her on her visit today.

"Where is the Princess?" Chu Suifeng immediately interrogated her upon seeing her.

Madame You was startled and turned to see not only Prince Chu Suifeng entering the room, but also Bai Xian, Situ Gong and others following behind.

This was a rare opportunity! Thinking of the child in her house, she gritted her teeth and knelt down before Chu Suifeng, "Please, my Lord, spare my son and me."

After saying that, she refused to say another word.

The maid by her side trembled and knelt down as well, remaining silent with her head low.

Chu Suifeng’s face was unreadable, a mixture of emotions. No one had ever threatened him to his face before. Madame You was pretty audacious, as the King of the Northern Land, he certainly knew about the You Residence selling grains illicitly, including the processes where Madame You and Li Jiesong were involved. But due to continuous incidents occurring, he hadn’t had time to deal with Madame You and her husband.

Madame You certainly knew how to exploit loop holes! Even if Madame You didn’t specify her conditions, Chu Suifeng could guess what she wanted.

"I can spare you." His sharp gaze fixed on Madame You, who, however, kept her eyes downcast and did not meet his.

Madame You feared she couldn’t persist under Chu Suifeng’s gaze for much longer. Her visit today had filled her with fear and anxiety. If possible, she would avoid crossing paths with Chu Suifeng for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, she had no choice left.

Gritting her teeth and putting everything on the line, she decided to appear before the Prince.
