Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1467 - 1405: Not an Accident

A major incident unfolded before everyone’s eyes, leaving the crowd stunned. No matter how swift Crown Prince Wei was, he couldn’t hide the fact that his sister had her skirt snatched, appearing before everyone in nothing but her underskirt.

For a woman to be involved in such a disgraceful incident was truly humiliating, as undergarments like these are intimate apparel meant only for her husband to see, certainly not for other men.

Yet, Song Jiaoer found herself clad in such garments and exposed to the crowd. Today, being the Mid-Autumn Festival, the streets were bustling, and in front of the teahouse were many men, some dressed crudely, appearing to be of the ruffian sort.

The ruffians had the foulest mouths, and if they casually mouthed off, how could Song Jiaoer face anyone?

No exaggeration was needed; just this scene alone could ruin her reputation beyond repair.

The incident happened in an instant, and Crown Prince Wei had already realized the consequences, his face darkening to an extreme degree, describing his expression as a livid rage would not be an overstatement.

Prince Wei’s Manor had suffered a massive loss of face!

Song Jiaoer was hurriedly taken back to the manor in a carriage by an old maid.

Crown Prince Wei quickly scanned the surroundings and noticed a clear bias toward Zhao Mingkun and Fifth Lady Fan’s group. With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Arrest them and take them back."

This matter was unlikely to be mere coincidence, and Prince Wei’s Manor couldn’t pretend nothing had happened! 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Upon hearing Crown Prince Wei’s order, the guards swiftly moved to control the Fan Family and Prince Zhou’s Mansion’s people.

Prince Zhou’s Zhao Mingkun’s face turned dark with anger, his voice low, "Crown Prince Song, what is this supposed to mean? Arresting people without cause, what are you intending to do!"

"I suspect foul play against our Prince Wei’s Manor. Don’t you think, Prince Zhou, that you owe us an explanation?" Crown Prince Wei retorted coldly.

"Crown Prince Song, this is all an accident." Prince Zhou stepped forward, saying, "Today is a festival, and with so many people going back and forth, accidents due to shoving and crowding are inevitable. But your actions here are implying wrongdoing by us at Prince Zhou and the Fan Family, trying to ruin our reputations alongside that of Princess Ping Xi?"

"I never said that, and whether it was an accident or not, we won’t know until it’s thoroughly investigated. Without clarifying things, no one is leaving. Do you consider it merely an accident, Prince Zhou? What if it were Fifth Miss of the Fan Family who suffered the humiliation, would you still say it’s an accident?" Crown Prince Wei scoffed in disdain.

"Crown Prince Song, this isn’t the Northwest." Prince Zhou approached him, lowering his voice. "Do you intend to make such a scene that the Commandery Princess’s reputation becomes widely known? With so many commoners here, do you really wish to provoke public outrage?"

"If I do nothing, wouldn’t it seem like anyone can bully Prince Wei’s Manor?" Crown Prince Wei narrowed his eyes, replying, "The commoners won’t do much, but Fifth Miss of the Fan Family was just in a confrontation with my sister! Who’s to say they didn’t sabotage us behind the scenes!"

"You..."

"Take them away!" Crown Prince Wei commanded, dismissing him with a wave.

Fifth Lady Fan watched in shock as her people were dragged away, exclaiming, "Crown Prince Song, what do you mean by arresting my people?"

"I suspect them of deliberately scheming against Princess Ping Xi!"

"Innocent, Miss, we are innocent! With all these people coming and going, we did nothing!"

"Indeed, it was someone shoving me from behind that caused the collision!"

"Wrongfully accused, Prince Wei’s Manor unjustly accuses the innocent, spewing baseless allegations!"

"Exactly, who knows if it wasn’t Princess Ping Xi’s skirt being of poor quality causing it to fall, how does it concern us!"

"Using power to oppress others!"

The crowd whispered and pointed fingers, as Crown Prince Wei’s face turned increasingly cold, his hands clenching into fists.
