"Enough idle chatter!"
Rong Ning stood up, dragging the iron chains that covered him. "Let her go home. Whatever tricks you have, use them on me. Be it execution or lifelong imprisonment, I fear nothing!"
The chains on him weighed over a hundred pounds. An ordinary person, upon being shackled, would be crushed to the ground, but Rong Ning faced Chu Heng regardless of the shackles he wore.
"Brother! Don't fight with the Crown Prince. I can do it! I can share this burden with you. I'll sit in prison with you. I can shoulder these chains too..."
Xiao Yuntang tried to move the chains on him, but with just one tug, the weight of them knocked her to the ground.
"Tangtang!"
Rong Ning quickly dragged the chains away, preventing them from hitting her and causing harm.
He pulled her up and pushed her aside. "This is not for you to bear; you can't handle it."
