Chapter 1827: Chapter 1820 Protect His Sister
Xiao Yuntang wiped away the tears from his cheeks, his gaze changing from tender to resolute, “Yes, Tangtang is willing to exchange with brother! Although Your Highness has captured brother, you have not killed him until now, which means you want to use him as a hostage to control the Xiao family. With the most beloved son of Daddy and Mother in your hands, the Xiao family will definitely not do anything detrimental to the imperial court,
just like Your Highness gave Tangtang the bracelet, but this bracelet did not take Tangtang’s life, it was only a ploy to threaten Daddy, a mere feint.”
Xiao Yuntang raised his arm, the wrist that was once adorned with a simple bracelet remains unchanged, with no poison corroding her body.
At that time, he was merely trying to scare Xiao Yu.
Chu Heng stood up from the dragon throne, walked to Xiao Yuntang, and lifted her up by holding her arms, “Tangtang, today’s you are beyond my expectations.”
From childhood to adulthood, the Tangtang he saw was always poised and proper, gentle and shy, but today she is very brave and resolute.
The emotions in Xiao Yuntang’s eyes flowed uninhibitedly, every look she gave him was filled with intense affection.
Chu Heng took her to the deepest part of the imperial prison.
Here it was cold and damp, never exposed to daylight, with only a single iron window providing slivers of light, like a ray of hope for the dying.
Rong Ning was held here, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
When the cell door opened, the unique sweet and fragrant scent of a girl wafted in, causing him to suddenly open his eyes and furrow his brows, “Why is it you?”
Xiao Yuntang!
What was Chu Heng doing bringing her here?
He immediately glared warily at the person outside the cage, “What are you trying to do? Force the Xiao family to rebel?”
Today, he still did not kill him, but wanted to take him as a hostage to strangle the Xiao family, to strangle those parents he did not want to acknowledge!
But now he had brought Xiao Yuntang!
Xiao Yu and his wife only have her as their daughter.
“It seems you are quite concerned about Tangtang, your dear sister.” Chu Heng stood outside the iron prison, chuckling softly.
Rong Ning turned his head, his face ice-cold, “I don’t have a sister.”
He was not of the Beiling City’s imperial family, so naturally Rong Yue was not his sister, and the Xiao Yuntang before him…
“Brother!”
Xiao Yuntang’s voice carried a hoarse tone, a clear sign she had been crying.
Rong Ning turned his head to stare at her, under the little light from the iron window, scrutinizing her face, “Have you been crying?”
Did Chu Heng bully her?
Rong Ning’s gaze became ferocious, even restrained by shackles, he still exuded an intense pressure, “Did you dare hurt her?”
Chu Heng’s handsome face remained unflustered, “You are now a prisoner, and you refuse to acknowledge her as your sister, whatever I do to her, you can do nothing.”
His reckless arrogance was like a knife, stabbing fiercely into Rong Ning’s heart, his gaze filled with a deadly rage, “You can try. If you do not kill me, one day, I will take your head!”
He was indeed a prisoner now, but if he desired… this prison would not hold him forever!
Chu Heng also wouldn’t be proud forever!
“For your sister?” Chu Heng’s handsome brows slightly raised.
Although the rage in Rong Ning’s eyes did not diminish, he instinctively protected Xiao Yuntang, “The reason is none of your concern. You should be aware that you may imprison me, but imprisoning all the Xiao family descendants, the Xiao family will not let you go.”
The Xiao family is a family of merchants, but they control the economic lifeline of the Great Cheng Dynasty, even Chu Heng, the master of the world, cannot entirely disregard the Xiao family.
“Oh? So you admit, you are a son of the Xiao family?” Chu Heng said faintly.
