"lady?!"

Sun Zai Yan's face changed, and he hurried over to help the woman over himself. With a dark face, he was about to scold the maids who helped her over.

The woman said with a sad face: "Master, I asked them to help me over here, it has nothing to do with them! My Heng'er has disappeared, and now it is unknown whether he is dead or alive. How can you...how can you still blame him in front of others like this!"

"Ma'am, I didn't..."

Sun Zaiyan seemed anxious, and the original sense of oppression in his body suddenly disappeared. With red eyes, he said: "I am just answering the questions asked by the Crown Princess. I am also very worried about Heng'er!"

Su Liuyue couldn't help but remain silent.

It turns out that this Changshi Sun is a henpecked husband?
"You're worried about Heng'er? You can only say it with your mouth if you're worried about Heng'er! No, when Heng'er was here, you didn't even bother to say it with your mouth!"

The woman said with tears streaming down her face, “If you could care more about Heng’er and treat him better, Heng’er wouldn’t always think that you, as his father, don’t like him.

In front of him, you always only talk about academic matters, and use Ye'er and the others to criticize him every day.

Yes, Heng'er's study is not as good as Ye'er and the others, but so what? He is still young and he works very hard. Can't you... can't you give him a little more time and not push him so hard?

I'm telling you the truth, Heng'er didn't do well in the exam this time because you put too much pressure on him!"

Sun Zaiyan was startled, and said anxiously and angrily: "How did I put pressure on him..."

"How not?"

The woman immediately retorted, "A few days before Heng'er disappeared, he secretly told me that he is now very afraid of every small test. He also hopes that he can become smarter, like his brothers, and not let his father down, but no matter how hard he tries, he can't do it..."

Sun Zai Yan bit his lip hard and couldn't say anything else.

The woman closed her eyes with a look of grief on her face, suddenly pushed Sun Zaiyan away, stumbled towards Su Liuyue and said: "You... are the Crown Princess, right? People say that the Crown Princess has solved many cases and saved many people before. I beg you to save my Heng'er this time..."

Sun Zai Yan went forward and wanted to support her, but she slapped his hand away again.

Su Liuyue looked at the woman in front of him and said solemnly: "Don't worry, as long as Young Master Sun still has a glimmer of hope, I will try my best to save him."

Next, she asked them a few more questions and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as she walked out of the living room of the Sun family, she heard Sun Zaiyan's voice begging for mercy, "Madam, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. If Heng'er can come back safely this time, I promise not to put pressure on him anymore...

It's all the fault of those damned remnants of the old dynasty! They must be the ones who kidnapped Heng'er! I was wronged before... I was wronged before that I had spoken well of them, saying that those remnants of the old dynasty were not all bad, and that if the Daqing Dynasty wanted to achieve a peaceful and prosperous era better and faster, they also needed their help...

Now it seems that although some people's words are extreme, they are not wrong. The hearts of those remnants of the old dynasty are not pure. They are not the same as us at all. They should all be killed. Even if they are not killed, they should not be allowed to continue to hold important positions in the court!" Su Liuyue's footsteps could not help but pause, but soon continued to move forward.

Yang Shaoyin, who was walking beside her, had obviously heard those words as well. He looked worried. After leaving the Sun family, he couldn't help but sighed and said, "The contradiction between the powerful people in the new and old dynasties... is really getting bigger and bigger. Sun Changshi is a close minister to the emperor, but even he has such thoughts..."

I really can’t imagine what His Majesty himself is thinking.

There were some things he didn't dare to say. Although he had only been in Xinjing for a short time, he had met the emperor a few times. But in his opinion, their emperor was not a kind-hearted and tolerant person...

Su Liuyue said, "It's meaningless to think about these things now, our top priority is to solve this case.

After visiting the homes of these four victims, did you find that they had one thing in common? "

What do they have in common?
The yamen runners were all confused. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Besides age and family background, what else do they have in common? Whether it's their family's attitude towards them or their personalities, they are completely different!"

Route was also puzzled and asked, "Young Master Su, what you mean is that we have seen their common points during our visit just now?"

However, he remembered every word they said to the victim's family during the visit just now, and he really didn't find any common points!
"Yes."

Su Liuyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "This commonality is not superficial, we need to summarize and refine it.

These four children, during this period, all had some kind of desire, or in other words, something they wanted but could not get.”

Everyone's eyes were slightly startled, and suddenly they were enlightened. They couldn't help but say, "It seems to be true now! After the young master of the You family went to the You family to which Prime Minister You belongs, he felt the huge disparity in family background and status between the two families. For him, what he couldn't get was the gap between him and the children of those truly powerful families!"

"Hiss, if that's the case, the child of the Hong family was once valued by his father, but was later abandoned. According to his family, he is not without emotion about this sudden cold treatment. What he desires should be - the attention of his family!"

"What the Sun family's child wanted just now must be his talent in studying!"

"Then what the child of the Wei family wants is... a birthday gift for Princess Chu? But, as Madam Wei said, there is nothing that the Wei family can't get? This birthday gift... can't be considered as something that cannot be obtained, right?"

Su Liuyue looked at the yamen runner and said, "That's right, but what if Young Master Wei wants to give Princess Chu a birthday gift to cheer her up? Young Master Wei is thoughtful. He thinks Princess Chu is in a bad mood recently, so he will definitely find ways to make her feel better.

Although I still don't know why the Princess of Chu is in a bad mood, emotions are inherently illusory. If it is difficult to make the Princess of Chu happy, and it is not something that can be easily restored, then for Young Master Wei, this is also a wish that cannot be obtained."

Yang Shaoyin followed Su Liuyue's thoughts and couldn't help but gasp, "Young Master Su means that someone used these children's unrequited desires as bait to lure them out? But... the people around Young Master Wei clearly said that he had never come into contact with any suspicious people before. Young Master Wei had never tried to go out alone before..."

"Then what if..."

Su Liuyue said meaningfully: "The person who threw out this bait is not a suspicious person?" (End of this chapter)
