The father had just reminded them a few days ago to be cautious and not cause trouble for the family and the Prince Yu's mansion. How could he forget in an instant? Had all the teachings of the sages he had read been in vain?
Elder Cao slammed the armrest, glaring fiercely at Chu Huan. "You've already killed someone. What's the use of regretting now, Chu Huan? Killing requires paying with your life; it's only right and proper!"
Chu Huan's body felt weak. He didn't want to live with blood on his hands.
"Elder Cao, the case is not yet clear. Why the hurry?" Ye Siheng spoke displeasedly.
Elder Cao snorted. "The evidence is conclusive. Why is it still unclear? Does Your Highness want to delay and reverse the situation?"
Qin Zheng hurriedly said, "Elder Cao, please be cautious in your words. How could His Highness violate the law? Besides, the case still needs careful examination; after all, it involves a loss of life."
Elder Cao remained silent.
