Fu Hengyue's face was full of tears, and she looked somewhat pitiful. However, no one stood up to speak for her at this moment. Instead, everyone just watched the fun.

She bit her lips tightly and refused to say a word to beg for mercy.

"Why are you pretending to be a chaste heroine?"

Pei Xian'er sneered coldly, "Who hasn't seen you seduce the prince at the poetry meeting?"

"I don't."

My behavior at that time was not seduction, it was just because I loved the person in my heart and wanted to do my best.

What's more, I just sat at the same table with him and exchanged a few words.

"You can insult me, but you can't insult the prince. The prince didn't..."

"The prince will naturally ignore you."

Pei Xian'er stroked her face with some pity, "After all, the prince is pure and refined, how could he have anything to do with someone like you."

She glared at Pei Xian'er, but even though she changed places, she still met Fu Hengjing.

Fu Hengjing frowned, looking unhappy, but he controlled his temper and said, "That's enough. My mother talks to her every day. You left too many traces. If my brother finds out and comes to our house, Minister Pei won't be able to explain to us."

Pei Xian'er glared at him, then released the hand that was restraining her.

"I'm going to let her go today for your sake, but from now on, when you see us, you'd better stay away from us. If you dare to come up and cause trouble again, I'll kill you."

After saying this, Pei Xian'er turned and left, leaving poor Fu Hengyue there.

Fu Hengyue looked at her brother with great disappointment in her eyes. Only then did she realize how ruthless he was.

"Don't look at me like that. Even if I was willing to plead for you just now, Pei Xian'er would only get angrier because of my plea, and would do something even worse to you."

"Then should I thank you?"

Fu Hengyue used all his strength to finally get up from the ground.

This set of clothes, which was just made a few days ago, is now in tatters.

"You'd better not tell big brother and mother about this. Big brother is working under the prince now, which is annoying enough. You should not cause trouble for big brother."

Fu Hengyue looked at Fu Hengjing in front of him and realized that everyone is selfish.

She wiped the tears from her face, then nodded despite the pain.

"Don't worry, I won't tell this to my brother."

The two of them walked into the house one after the other.

The old lady looked at Fu Hengyue's appearance and hugged the child in her arms with some heartache.

"What happened? Why are your clothes so torn? Were you bullied? Tell me and mother will ask your brother to take care of it for you."

Fu Hengyue shook her head and choked up, "It has nothing to do with others. I accidentally fell and ruined my clothes. Mother, I'm sorry! This dress was made for me a few days ago by someone you asked."

"It's just a piece of clothing. If it's broken, it's broken. I'll ask someone to make you a new one. Are you sure it's not because someone bullied you that you..."

Fu Hengyue shook his head, "Of course not, my second brother and I are in the same school. If I get wronged, my second brother will help me fight back, right?"

Her eyes fell on Fu Hengjing behind her, and he nodded.

"Mother, it was indeed my sister who fell down. She has been crying all the way. You should find a doctor to treat her wound first."

The old lady quickly asked someone to invite a doctor to treat her wound. As soon as the doctor was done, Fu Hengjing pushed the door open and threw the silver in his hand into hers.

"You know what you should say and what you shouldn't say. If the old lady asks you, just say it's a bump. Do you understand?"

"Understand."

The doctor really followed Fu Hengjing's instructions and responded to the old lady.

Although the old lady had some doubts in her heart, she just nodded with some heartache.

"Please, doctor, come over here."

The sight of him covered in wounds made people worried. The old lady was a little skeptical and asked the teacher from the academy for help.

However, he did not expect that the other gentlemen were unwilling to meet him, and only Mr. Zhai entered the general's mansion.

The old lady always treated him politely, but Mr. Zhai's expression showed a hint of indelible disgust.

"Sir, I asked you to come here today because I want to ask about my child's homework."

"Fu Hengyue or Fu Hengjing?"

"The word is about my troublesome daughter. She is now..."

"Women value their reputation the most. Old Madam, if you want to ask your daughter, you should ask her to stay at home and find a good marriage for her when she is old enough. Let her get married."

"What do you mean? Do all the teachers in your school discipline their students in this way?"

The old lady was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Mr. Zhai's first words would be to ask her to bring her daughter back.

"Our school teaches students according to their aptitude. Your daughter...is really not suitable to stay in the academy now. I am only thinking about her own interests."

The old lady looked at Mr. Zhai in front of her and felt that this matter was a little strange.

"Sir, I was still ill before, and the child's affairs were all taken care of by their ex-sister-in-law. Now it has suddenly fallen on my shoulders. I can't help but not understand the inside story. Is it my daughter..."

"Don't you know what your family's reputation is like?"

When he asked this, the old lady immediately understood what he meant.

"So everyone in the school is because..."

"The general helped someone he shouldn't have helped, so the people in the general's mansion will inevitably be misunderstood. However, it is important for people to reflect on themselves. You don't have to bear the consequences for things you haven't done."

Mr. Zhai stood up, having said everything he needed to say.

"Madam, if you don't want your daughter to end up in disgrace, you might as well take her back now."

The old lady was so shocked that she could not sit still. She looked at the person in front of her and said after a long while, "Thank you."

If it weren't for Mr. Zhai's reminder, she would have completely forgotten what happened in the court, and her own daughter would have been implicated.

As soon as Fu Hengyu returned home in the evening, he was called to the old lady's yard.

"Mother, why haven't you gone to bed yet at this hour today? Is there anything you want me to do?"

"What on earth did you do with the prince? Why do I hear rumors spreading outside the capital, making people...?"

"Those people outside just don't like the General's Mansion and want to spread some rumors to ruin the reputation of my General's Mansion. Besides, the Crown Prince is now firmly in the East Palace. If my son can gain face in front of him, the entire Fu family will have the merit of following the dragon in the future. Let them say whatever they want."

"I met your sister's teacher today. Although the teacher didn't say it explicitly, he could see that your sister's current situation in the school is not good. I want to take her back home."
