However, the excitement did not last long, as it was suppressed by the Court of Justice’s widespread arrests of members of the Eight Princes Party.
Zhou Residence.
Zhou Jingyun thought about how her mother had been unable to eat or drink lately, so she personally made two kinds of pastries and brought them to her. As she reached the doorway, she heard her mother’s suppressed sobs.
“I heard that some officials have already been tortured to death by the Ministry of Justice in the interrogations… Master is a frail scholar… With such fierce torture devices at the Ministry of Justice, how can Master endure… Yet our family can’t even come near the Ministry of Justice’s doors…”
Hearing the intermittent words from inside the room, Zhou Jingyun’s face instantly turned pale. After a moment of silence, she lifted her skirts and ran out of the courtyard.

I’ll accompany you to find Peng Mingchi. Please ask him to speak on our behalf, to let me enter the Ministry of Justice to see how Father is. Father has been jailed for over two months, and I’m really worried about him.”
Zhou Jingwan looked troubled. The marriage arranged by her family had been set without her consent. By the time she found out, the Peng Family had already formalized the engagement.

“Jingyun, even if I ask Peng Mingchi, he might not agree.”
Zhou Jingyun shook her head, “No, our family has been in trouble for so long, but the Peng Family has not broken off the engagement, which shows that he likes you.”
