After the full moon banquet, Princess Chu Xiangxiang of Kang County saw that her plan had failed, and hurriedly sent people to inquire about the news.

The door of General Zhu's place was closed, and he never attended court afterwards, so we don't know what happened.

After nightfall, Danruo's brother Xiao Danzhu received a letter from the princess's mansion, saying that he had taken a liking to Danruo at first sight and had taken her to the princess's mansion to stay for a while.

But if the medicine is not taken to consummate the marriage, there is no doubt that Danruo will die. Danruo is in the princess's mansion. Could it be that the prince consort rescued Danruo and Danruo became his woman?

After waiting for two days, there was no news of Danruo coming back from the princess's mansion. Chu Xiangxiang was full of doubts and didn't dare to intervene in the princess's mansion, so she had to urge Xiao Danzhu to go to the princess's mansion to pick up Danruo, otherwise she had a vague feeling that things would get out of control.

The princess's residence received a report about Xiao Danzhu's visit and passed it on to Danruo, who was also looking forward to meeting the original owner's "dependent" brother.

Xiao Danzhu was a little hesitant to recognize her sister when she saw her. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked very graceful. She no longer had a wooden hairpin on her head, but coral gems dotted her hair, and pearl hairpins hung down lightly, making her look radiant.

"Sister, what happened at the party? Tell me and I'll take care of it for you."

Seeing his confident expression, Dan Ruo deliberately said, "What could possibly happen at the banquet?"

Xiao Danzhu thought the girl was too embarrassed to tell him about her loss of virginity, so she coaxed him softly, "You are the only relative I have left in this world. No matter what happens, I will protect you, my dear sister."

Dan Ruo shook his head: "Nothing really happened. Does my brother know what happened?"

Xiao Danzhu saw that she couldn't get any information out of him if she continued like this. If she didn't know how to explain everything to Xiangxiang, she pretended to be casual and said:

"I heard that a woman lost her virginity at the banquet. I only heard about you last night. You haven't been home for the past two days, so I was worried that you were bullied and didn't dare to tell anyone. Don't worry, sister. No matter who it is, I will never let anyone who hurts you go."

Dan Ruo pretended to be surprised: "Such a problem actually occurred at the banquet hosted by Chu Xiangxiang. Who would dare to attend her banquet next time? It's really kind of the princess to not tell me about this. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't know."

Xiao Danzhu realized that what she said would bring trouble to Chu Xiangxiang, so she quickly changed her words:

"That's what I read in a book, not what happened at the banquet at Prince Kang's mansion. Don't talk nonsense. I was just worried about you and was afraid that you would be bullied because you came back late, so I made it up in my mind."

Dan Ruo found it funny to see him wiping his sweat:

"Since my brother has been saying that he would make the decision for me, I was actually almost bullied by someone. It was an old woman with a mole between her eyebrows. She said she was a woman surnamed Wang. She warned me to leave the banquet quickly to prevent a good girl from being sent to an old man as a concubine.

She said that she had taken care of me since I was a child, and she couldn't bear to see me so pitiful, so she asked me not to seek revenge on the wife of the Duke of Chu. The wife of the Duke of Chu was also helpless.

Xiao Danzhu's face was full of disbelief. She didn't believe that the wet nurse beside her mother would betray her mother. However, Danruo had never met Wang Po, so it was impossible for her to make up such a lie.

Dan Ruo ignored Xiao Danzhu's shocked eyes and continued:

"I wanted to cover up this matter, but my brother kept asking me, so I just did what he said. After all, I have my brother to protect me.

Then brother, you should go to the government office and sue Yang. After Yang remarried, she has no relationship with the descendants of our Xiao family, and she has no right to decide the marriage of the descendants of the Xiao family.

I am a good citizen. Yang gave me to someone else as a concubine, which is tantamount to human trafficking. According to the law, I should be whipped 100 times, have my face tattooed, and be exiled 3,000 miles away."

"After all, Yang is our biological mother. Even if she was wrong in this matter, how can we sue her?"

Xiao Danzhu was shocked that Danruo could say such things. In the past, her sister kept quiet, but she still cherished her mother's love and understood her mother's inability to come and look after her. She only occasionally called out for her mother when she was feverish and confused. Now, she was actually going to send her mother to jail. Was this still the same easily coaxed sister she used to be?

"But you often told me before that the Xiao family's rules are that if you do something wrong, you will have to suffer the corresponding consequences.

It is true that Yang is the biological mother, but after she remarried, her family ties with the Xiao family were severed. By doing this, she was forcing the daughter of the Xiao family to death.

Since you are unwilling to protect me, I have no choice but to tell the princess to make the decision for me."

Seeing Danruo's stubborn expression and her determination to hold on to Yang, and also seeing that Danruo was living well in the princess's mansion, it seemed that she was really having an affair with the prince consort. If the princess gave Yang a concubine, she might really make things difficult for Yang.

Xiao Danzhu was afraid that this would really cause trouble for the Yang family:

"Sister, this matter is not Yang's fault, you misunderstood.

After your father's death, you must obey your elder brother. I am the only one who can decide your marriage.

It was all because I was confused for a moment. I was anxious to redress the injustice done to my father and wanted to use your marriage as a tactic.

General Zhu followed the emperor in conquering the world and has won his favor. He likes you so much and will definitely help your father overturn the verdict.

He also promised to treat you well. Besides being older, I thought he was more reliable. So I went to Yang for help, and you mistakenly believed that Yang was the one in charge.

Please forgive me, brother. I raised you, and I really feel sorry for you. You are so beautiful, but you are marrying a street vendor and working hard for the rest of your life."

Dan Ruo pretended to be injured, holding his hands to his heart, and was possessed by the spirit of drama:

"Then why didn't you tell me in advance, and why did you have to plot against me?

You said you raised me, but I started learning to cook and wash clothes when I was four years old.

After learning embroidery from Aunt Li next door at the age of six, she spent the past twelve years embroidering at home to supplement the family income and support her brother's education.
