This happened shortly after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the morning of August 22, the matchmaker proposed marriage, but Jun Yao refused to marry.

Jun Yao was beaten and punished at night.

On the evening of August 23, Jun Yao was forcibly sent to the Xiang family with injuries all over her body. The princess also came to Xiang's house to apologize. She finally relieved Mrs. Xiang's anger and received the promise of Secretary Xiang that she would not hold grudges because of the child's childish words.

What I mean is that I will not vent my anger on Junyu because of this.

Princess Kang finally breathed a sigh of relief and left with satisfaction.

However, this matter is not over yet.

That night, Jun Yao was locked up in the Xiang family woodshed. Xiang Nan showed no concern for this nominal wife - no, after the official proposal failed, there was no betrothal gift or wedding now, and Jun Yao might not even be considered a wife.

In the words of Mrs. Xiang, she is just a low-key man. Since she disdains to look down on the position of the Xiang family’s wife, she can simply be a concubine.

Of course, General Xiang did not have the energy or time to care about a concubine, so he allowed his mother to vent his anger and humiliation on the little woman Jun Yao.

And this incident inevitably reached Chu Ning and Su Jin's ears.

At that time, it was dawn, and Su Jin and Chu Ning had already woken up, but because the Regent was not in the imperial capital these days, there was no need to get up early to go to court.

Su Jin was greedy for the gentle land of his beautiful wife and chatted with Chu Ning on the bed with her child. Two years ago, Chu Ning gave birth to her second son, named Su Lingchuan, and now she is just two years old.

The child can eat and sleep, and he slept until the sun was high every morning before getting up. Since he had this child, Chu Ning has been focusing on taking care of the children at home. In addition to occasionally going to the military camp to check out, he has basically been living in seclusion in the past two years.

"Tianshu wrote to him that they were already on the way back and would probably be able to arrive at the Imperial Court in a few days." Su Jin smiled and looked down at the sleeping child. "After Chuan'er grows up, his temperament is probably different from his brother's.

This child loves to laugh more and is not as silent as Tianshu.

Chu Ning was about to speak, but there were footsteps in the courtyard outside.

"Sir!" A servant reported outside Songheyuan, "There is someone outside calling for justice."

Su Jin was stunned and then frowned slightly.

Screaming injustice?

He is not a yamen here.

He looked up at Chu Ning, and Su Jin quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed, walked over and opened the door: "Who is calling for justice? Why don't you go to Dali Temple?"

The person who reported the report was the guard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He replied respectfully: "The man was wearing the clothes of the Imperial Guard and was kneeling outside the gate. He didn't tell me what the situation had happened, so he came to report to the master."

Upon hearing this, a deep thought flashed through Su Jin's eyes.

Imperial Guard?

"You go and call that person in, I'll ask."

"yes."

Seeing the guard turn and leave, Su Jin went back to the inner room to put on his clothes and ordered the maid to fetch water to serve the washing.

"Do you want to guess what happened outside?"

Chu Ning tucked the scepter of the child and got up and got out of bed: "The Imperial Guards are familiar with the current court and understand the law. Since he has found this place, it proves that only you can handle this matter, and it is useless to find Dali Temple."

After a pause, Chu Ning added lightly: "Or it is urgent, so there is no time for him to go to Dali Temple."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin pulled Chu Ning and hugged her in her arms, and kissed her in the face: "Your Highness Shengming."
