At the same time, Fengjiu and Nangong Beichen were also discussing how to deal with this matter.

Feng Jiu said, "Lord Chu is a relatively honest official. Perhaps this time he failed to educate his son well. Should we give him a chance?"

Nangong Beichen pondered for a moment and replied, "Madam, what you said makes sense, but this matter cannot be let off lightly. We need to see whether Chu Zihang truly repents."

The two decided to observe how Lord Chu punished his son before making any further plans.

In the study, Chu Zihang began a long period of reflection.

At first, he was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, feeling that his father was too harsh on him.

But as time went on, he gradually calmed down and began to think about the crisis his actions brought to his family.

"I was too indulgent in the past, thinking I could do whatever I wanted with my mother's protection, but now I almost hurt my whole family." Chu Zihang felt extremely regretful.

He began to copy the scriptures carefully. Every word seemed to sting his soul, making him realize his mistakes more deeply.

When the wife of the prefect learned that her son was locked up in the study and punished, and that her husband was planning to divorce her, she burst into tears.

"Master, how can you treat us mother and son like this? Zihang was just confused for a moment, you can't be so heartless!" The wife of the prefect pulled at the prefect's sleeve, her face full of tears.

The prefect's face darkened as he said, "It's all because of your daily pampering of him that he became what he is today. As the prefect, I must set an example and not show favoritism or cover up for him."

The prefect's wife was relentless: "Then you can't divorce me. I've given so much to this family!"

The prefect shook off his wife's hand and said, "Your doting has harmed our son. I cannot allow this to continue."

Despite his wife's crying and pleading, the prefect's determination remained unwavering.

He knew very well that if he showed softness at this moment, not only would Chu Zihang not be able to truly reform, but he would also be unable to explain to the prince and princess.

"Madam, please stop crying. Zihang must be taught a lesson this time, otherwise he will become a disaster in the future.

I divorced you to serve as a warning to the family." The prefect said firmly.

Seeing that she could not change her husband's decision, the wife of the prefect collapsed on the ground and burst into tears.

After waiting for a whole night, Fengjiu and Nangong Beichen decided to visit the prefect's residence in person.

When Lord Chu learned that the prince and princess had arrived, he greeted them with great trepidation.

Feng Jiu said, "Master Chu, I wonder if your son has shown any remorse lately?"

Lord Chu quickly replied, "Princess, Zihang reflects on his mistakes every day in his study and has come to realize his mistakes."

Nangong Beichen said: "I hope he can truly change his ways, otherwise I will never let him off easily."

Feng Jiu and Nangong Beichen came to the study under the guidance of Lord Chu. They saw that Chu Zihang looked haggard, but his eyes no longer had the arrogance of the past.

When Chu Zihang saw the prince and princess, he immediately knelt down and apologized: "Prince Chen, Princess Zhenguo, I have deeply realized my mistakes and will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future."

Seeing that Chu Zihang was truly repentant, Feng Jiu and Nangong Beichen decided to give him a chance.

Fengjiu said, “Since you have realized your mistake, this princess will not pursue it any further.

But you must be careful with your words and actions and do more good deeds in the future."

Chu Zihang nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your tolerance, Princess and Prince. I will definitely remember it in my heart."

Nangong Beichen said to Lord Chu, "Lord Chu, this time, considering your integrity as an official, I will spare your son for now.

But you must also strengthen your discipline on him and not let this kind of thing happen again."

Lord Chu burst into tears of gratitude: "Thank you so much for your kindness, Prince and Princess. I will discipline my child strictly and will never do this again."

After this incident, Chu Zihang completely reformed himself and no longer bullied others.

The prefect also became more strict with himself and his family. The people of the city praised the prefect's fairness and the prince and princess's tolerance, and the city returned to its former peace and prosperity.

After Fengjiu and Nangong Beichen left the government office, they drove an off-road vehicle and embarked on a journey full of unknowns and romance.

The off-road vehicle sped along the winding mountain road, and the scenery on both sides was picturesque.

The breeze blew gently through Fengjiu's hair through the car window. She narrowed her eyes slightly, enjoying this moment of tranquility and beauty.

Nangong Beichen was driving the car attentively, occasionally turning his head, his eyes gently falling on Feng Jiu.

When they reached a place with beautiful scenery, Nangong Beichen slowly stopped the car.

The two walked side by side in a sea of ​​flowers. The colorful flowers swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling romantic love words.

Fengjiu leaned over and sniffed a beautiful flower. Nangong Beichen approached gently from behind, his breath lingering faintly around Fengjiu's neck.

"Fengjiu, you are more charming than any flower in this world." Nangong Beichen's voice was low and magnetic.

Fengjiu's cheeks instantly flushed, and she said lightly, "You are the only one who can say such sweet words."

However, her eyes were full of joy and shyness.

Continuing forward, we came across a clear stream on the way.

Fengjiu excitedly ran to the stream, squatted down, and gently stirred the water with his hands.

The cool stream water flowed through her fingertips, making her laugh like a silver bell.

Seeing this, Nangong Beichen also walked over to her, squatted down, and suddenly reached out to scoop up a handful of water and sprinkled it on Fengjiu.

The water droplets sparkled with crystal light in the sunlight, falling on Fengjiu's face and body.

Fengjiu cried out softly, then scooped up some water and splashed it towards Nangong Beichen.

"Oh, how dare you sneak attack me!" Her laughter echoed by the stream.

Nangong Beichen dodged with a smile, "Haha, who made you so charming that I couldn't help but want to tease you."

Fengjiu splashed water even more vigorously, "I'll make you soaked like a drowned rat!" Her eyes were full of playfulness and agility.

Nangong Beichen was not to be outdone. He dodged left and right flexibly and found the right moment to counterattack.

Every time he successfully splashed water on Fengjiu, he would laugh triumphantly.

Fengjiu's skirt was soaked with water and stuck to her legs, but it did not affect her mood at all.

Her wet hair stuck to her cheeks, which made her look even more charming.

The two of them exchanged blows, their laughter mingling with the sound of water. Fengjiu slipped, lost her balance, and fell backwards.

Nangong Beichen was quick to pull her into his arms.

When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Fengjiu could clearly feel Nangong Beichen's strong heartbeat, while Nangong Beichen stared at Fengjiu's cherry lips which were slightly open due to panic, and an irresistible impulse surged in his heart.

He slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Fengjiu's lips. Fengjiu was startled at first, then slowly closed her eyes, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around Nangong Beichen's neck.
