If Ye Jintang hadn't promised to bring the person back to full consciousness within seven days, and if His Highness the Regent hadn't been present, he certainly wouldn't have let the matter go so easily.

"Father-in-law, Xue Rou has been taken into the palace by the Sixth Princess."

"Bring him into the palace?" Minister Su hesitated, clearly not fully understanding Ye Jintang's meaning.

"Even if I enter the palace, so what?"

Minister Su continued to ask questions based on Jiang Mubai's previous remarks.

Seeing that Minister Su had misunderstood him, Jiang Mubai could only recount Cui'er's previous report and what had happened after he arrived at Huisheng Hall.

After hearing all this, Minister Su finally understood the whole story, and his brows furrowed even more. "How could Xue Rou have become so reckless!"

"Even if we want to get an explanation for He'er's matter, we shouldn't involve the Sixth Princess."

"It's come to this point now..."

Minister Su's face was gloomy, and he felt increasingly annoyed. Other matters had not yet been resolved, and now Su Xuerou had also been dragged into this mess.

But as for Jiang Mubai...

Minister Su already understood the purpose of his trip. "So you want me to bring Xue Rou out of the palace."

"I would like to ask for your help, Father-in-law."

"Xue Rou is still your second wife, no matter what. That sixth princess wouldn't do something to kill someone, as for bringing her out..."

In the past, he could have brought it up with his wife under other pretexts.

But now... things are actually a bit tricky.

"You go back first, let me think about this."

Just as Minister Su and Jiang Mubai were discussing countermeasures, they suddenly heard a guard's report coming from outside.

"Master, the Second Miss has been brought back by the people sent by the Imperial Concubine."

Although Su Xuerou has already married, the way she is addressed in the Ministry of Rites has not changed.

Upon hearing this, Minister Su and Jiang Mubai exchanged a glance.

They were trying to figure out a solution when the Imperial Concubine sent someone to deliver it directly back.

Something unusual must have happened here.

Jiang Mubai was the first to react and strode outside, only to find Su Xuerou already standing there as soon as he stepped out of the study.

"Xue Rou?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Mubai tentatively asked Su Xuerou.

Su Xuerou's eyes were red and filled with tears when she saw Jiang Mubai. She rushed into Jiang Mubai's arms, her voice choked with sobs and grievance.

"Brother Mu Bai, it's so wonderful to see you again."

"My lord," the palace maid said to Jiang Mubai, then saw Minister Su coming out of the study and addressed him again, "Minister Su."

"Now that you have safely brought Madam Hou back, this servant will take her leave."

Minister Su nodded, knowing that since the other party was sent by the Imperial Concubine, it was impossible for him to directly inquire about what had happened.

To find out the specifics, it would be more accurate to have someone from the palace leave the Minister's residence and ask Su Xuerou.

After having the servants in the manor escort the palace people out of the manor, Minister Su, Jiang Mubai, and Su Xuerou went into the study together.

"Xue Rou, weren't you brought into the palace by the Sixth Princess? How come you were sent back by the Consort?"

Judging from the way Cui'er reported it, things were definitely not that simple, which is why Jiang Mubai was puzzled.

Minister Su stood aside, and the questions Jiang Mubai asked were also the questions he wanted to know at that moment.

"Father, Brother Mubai..."

Su Xuerou looked at the two of them and said, "Originally, the Sixth Princess was going to attack me, but fortunately the Imperial Concubine came and asked me about Ye Jintang and His Highness the Regent."

"Ye..." Jiang Mubai was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Unconsciously recalling what happened in the Resurrection Hall, he almost subconsciously continued to ask Su Xuerou, "What does this have to do with His Highness the Regent?"

"Is it related to His Highness the Regent again?"

Minister Su was equally shocked after hearing what Su Xuerou said.

Seeing this, Jiang Mubai realized something was wrong.

"Father-in-law, have you perhaps met this prince before?"

Jiang Mubai's tone was probing when he looked at Minister Su.

"That day was at Huishengtang."

Minister Su's few words shocked Jiang Mubai.

"Why is it Huishengtang again..."

Minister Su also noticed the difference in Jiang Mubai's words.

"Mu Bai, could it be that you also..."

Jiang Mubai nodded, and for a moment both of their eyes were focused on Su Xuerou.

We wait for her to tell us what happened.

"Xue Rou."

Seeing that Su Xuerou remained silent, Minister Su's face already showed dissatisfaction.

"what is going on."

When questioned by the two of them at the same time, Su Xuerou felt uneasy and had no choice but to tell them everything that had happened.

After saying this, Su Xuerou tentatively asked the two of them, "Father, Brother Mubai, have you met this prince before?"

As for the more specific details about Ye Jintang and that prince, it was only Su Xuerou's guess; she didn't actually know the specifics.

Judging from the current situation of these two, it seems to confirm his guess.

Minister Su looked solemn.

Jiang Mubai was more worried about this. Ye Jintang was already difficult to deal with, and now this prince was added to the mix.

Most importantly... Ye Jintang dared to have affairs with other men behind my back.

When did this start? Is this the first time?

Realizing this, Jiang Mubai became even angrier. He suddenly felt as if something that originally belonged to him had been taken away by someone else.

Even if he didn't want to, he couldn't allow Ye Jintang to have contact with other men.

"Father, about my sister..."

Seeing that the two did not respond, Su Xuerou knew that it would be impossible to ask them more about the Regent.

I took this opportunity to find out about Su He's situation.

"You don't need to concern yourself with He'er's affairs. Besides, this is a one-time thing, and I don't want any more to happen."

Although Su Xuerou has returned this time, considering the twists and turns involved, and the fact that Su Xuerou is an enemy to some extent...

“Father-in-law, now that Xue Rou has returned safely, I will take my leave with him.”

Jiang Mubai still has some doubts about certain specific details.

Especially regarding Su He's matter...

Just when everyone thought the matter had been resolved, a woman entered the hall with her maid.

"Madam, are you here for a medical consultation or..."

After the incident involving the Sixth Princess and Jiang Mubai, Zhou Zheng became exceptionally perceptive about the situation in Huisheng Hall.

Moreover, this lady, upon entering the Resurrection Hall with her entourage, immediately began looking around.

It is remarkably similar to the previous situation.

Zhou Zheng stepped forward and asked the woman a question.

"This is my wife, the wife of the Minister. She has some questions for Miss Ye."
