It was only through their joint effort that the rumors weren't completely suppressed, but who knew the Fu Family would outmaneuver them so completely, catching them off guard; no wonder the Crown Prince was so angry.
The Crown Prince coldly stared at them for a while, suppressing his anger before his voice returned to calmness: "You all may leave."
Cheng Wenhong and the others exchanged glances, unable to believe that the Crown Prince would let the matter slide so easily.
