They even maliciously hinted that I was from a brothel. As a woman who has always maintained an innocent reputation, how could I tolerate such an insult?

When she said this, tears welled up in Wu Jingxuan's eyes again, and the crystal tears rolled in her eye sockets, almost sliding down.

Wen Zhu felt very embarrassed upon seeing this, and quickly bowed his head to apologize: "Our young lady has a quick temper, and she may have misunderstood your situation at the time. This time, I will formally apologize to you on her behalf. But the most important thing now is to calm her down, so that her dissatisfaction with you does not make things more complicated."

Wen Zhu's words were full of apology and sincerity, and he hoped to be forgiven by Wu Jingxuan.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Jingxuan finally nodded. Although the resentment in her heart had not dissipated, she was unwilling to make the situation worse. "Okay."

After completing the task, Wen Zhu chatted with Wu Jingxuan for a while, trying to ease the atmosphere and comfort her wounded heart.

Finally, Wen Zhu stood up and said goodbye with the jingwen he had just copied, and slowly left the room.

Fu Zhiyao quietly walked out from the shadows and accompanied Wen Zhu out of the quiet courtyard.

He silently held Wen Zhu's hand without saying a word, but his heart was filled with deep pity.

Although Wen Zhu usually doesn't like to talk about her suffering, but today in order to comfort and persuade Wu Jingxuan, she inevitably revealed her inner pain, which made Fu Zhiyao, who had been silently protecting her, feel pity in his heart.

Only when he reached the gate of Qifang Courtyard did he slowly stop and softly say, "I will urge you again about your mother's matter."

Although the words were soft, they revealed a sense of firmness and sincerity.

"Thank you, my lord. I will never forget your kindness."

Wen Zhu responded with a smile, his words full of gratitude.

Then she gently withdrew her hand, turned and walked towards the door.

She crossed the courtyard and arrived at the main hall. She bowed deeply to Zhao Manxiang and explained in a steady and sincere tone, "Young Madam, please rest assured. The Crown Prince has just severely reprimanded that young lady and ordered her to write a long list of atonement documents. I can see that she looks extremely depressed, with red and swollen eyes. It's obvious that she truly repents."

"snort!"

Zhao Manxiang sneered and snorted, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. "I don't believe that the prince would be angry with me for something like this! He has always favored her, how could he make such a fuss over such a small mistake?"

"Even if the prince is interested in her, he won't turn a blind eye to her excessive behavior."

Wen Zhu comforted him gently, "Perhaps it won't be long before the prince finds this inappropriate behavior annoying. Then he will naturally find an opportunity to send this young lady somewhere else. So please don't worry too much, and don't take her words and actions too seriously."

After hearing these words, Zhao Manxiang felt a little relieved, and the resentment and anger in her heart gradually subsided.

So she decided to put aside all the actions she had originally wanted to take and wait and see.

On the 28th day of the lunar year, light snow fell from the sky, adding a festive atmosphere to the capital.

At this time, Ji Changqing and his wife Sheng Shuyao returned to this prosperous place from afar, and went directly to the Duke's Mansion to pay a visit to their elders.

When they stepped into the mansion, it was bustling with activity, and everyone was happily preparing to welcome the New Year.

On the other side, in Xuanhe Courtyard, Wen Zhu was concentrating on playing with the children, with a gentle smile on his face.

When she learned of the arrival of the distinguished guest, in order to avoid unnecessary meetings and possible troubles, she chose to quickly leave the outdoor activity area and go into the house to continue taking good care of the child's daily life.

At the same time, in the hall outside the courtyard, the Duke's wife warmly welcomed her daughter and son-in-law who had come from afar. The three of them sat together and chatted about family matters.

At this moment, Ji Changqing looked at his mother-in-law with joy and said earnestly, "I have good news today, and I want to tell you, mother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife showed an expression of curiosity and anticipation on her face, and it was obvious that she was very interested in the news from her son-in-law.

"Okay, thank you for your help."

Wu Jingxuan sniffed lightly, and a barely perceptible hint of fatigue appeared in her voice.

Then, Wen Zhu tentatively asked, "Can I first send the scriptures to the young lady and tell her that the prince ordered you to copy the apology letter to her? Maybe that would be better?"

Her eyes were full of caution, afraid that she might say something wrong and cause Wu Jingxuan to be unhappy.

"She..." Thinking of the situation of that meeting, Wu Jingxuan couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, and anger instantly rushed to her heart.

She recalled, "That day she barged into my courtyard without warning, yelling abuse at me as if the whole world owed her something. She even demanded that I kneel down and kowtow to her. How could I agree to such an unreasonable request? I refused to go out to see her, but instead I was subjected to even more insults. She said I was of unknown origin and even maliciously hinted that I came from a brothel. As a woman who has always maintained an innocent reputation, how could I tolerate such insults!"

When she said this, tears welled up in Wu Jingxuan's eyes again, and the crystal tears rolled in her eye sockets, almost sliding down.

Wen Zhu felt very embarrassed upon seeing this, and quickly bowed his head to apologize: "Our young lady has a quick temper, and she may have misunderstood your situation at the time.
