After returning to Lu Mansion and settling the children, Xiao Lingyu called Zhu Xu into the study.
"Zhu Xu, does the Emperor take the matter of Nankun's spies infiltrating Beiyi seriously?"
Zhu Xu said: "After General Xiao returns to the capital, the emperor will arrange for the general to lead troops to the southern border to strengthen the defense and escort the envoy to Nankun."
"So that's why the Emperor sent an urgent decree over 800 miles to allow our Xiao family to return to the capital?"
"Exactly."
Very good!
With her father leading troops to Nanjing to strengthen the defense, her plan was successful!
"Where are the three Nankun spies?"
"Yan Wei found three death row prisoners to replace them. I temporarily arranged for them to work at Xu's farm."
Xiao Lingyu tapped the table with a single finger. "Now that the person behind your master's framing has been uncovered, I no longer have to worry about the Second Prince sending someone to assassinate me. You and Yan Wei can return to your master now."
"Madam, the master told us to stay and obey your orders, which means we will follow you in the future."
Xiao Lingyu: "Your master has been pardoned and returned to the capital. He still has more things to do and needs more people to help him. When we return to Guihua Village, you will go to meet your master halfway. This matter is settled, you don't need to say anything more."
Zhu Xu was a little sad after being "fired" suddenly. It was a blessing to work with the princess. He could enjoy the unique delicacies cooked up by the princess from time to time.
There is no such good thing if I return to the prince.
"Okay, I'll go down first."
"Guard Zhu, wait a minute." Su Xingyi stopped Zhu Xu, "I have something to ask you."
"Master Su, please speak."
"The Xiao family has been wrongly accused, and the princess is the most innocent person implicated. My father-in-law and his men have been recalled to the capital and reinstated. Does the emperor no longer care about the princess?"
Su Xingyi has some complaints about the current emperor.
How can you marry off your daughter without finding out the truth?
Fortunately, Xiaoyu married him. If she had married someone else, Xiaoyu might have suffered.
Now that it has been discovered that the Xiao family was wronged, the emperor did not say anything to Yu'er and did not admit his mistake.
With such an emperor, he really had no intention of joining the army to serve the court!
"Master Su, Lord Meng Gaoyang made a proposal, but the emperor did not accept it. He asked the Xiao family to return to the capital and discuss it with the old Duke Xiao before making a decision."
"What proposals did Lord Meng make in the court?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
Zhu Xu looked at Su Xingyi and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Speak now, Master Su is not an outsider."
"Lord Meng proposes that the Emperor grant you a free divorce, and your husband's family must not obstruct it."
Su Xingyi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.
Freedom and divorce?
The husband’s family must not interfere?
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Xingyi and asked, "Master Meng, do you have any other suggestions?"
"Lord Meng also proposed restoring the princess's fiefdom."
"Anything else?"
“No more.”
Xiao Lingyu raised his hand and Zhu Xu retreated quickly.
"Xingyi, you don't look well. Are you tired from riding in the carriage?"
Xiao Lingyu touched Su Xingyi's handsome face and said, "Go lie down for a while. You can have dinner when you wake up."
"Okay." Su Xingyi pulled Xiao Lingyu to the soft couch in the study, "You've been tired all day too..."
Before Xiao Lingyu could respond, Su Xingyi pushed him down onto the couch.
Su Xingyi then moved down, lying beside Xiao Lingyu and hugging her tightly.
"... Let's lie down together."
Su Xingyi nestled in the crook of Xiao Lingyu's neck and took a deep breath, craving the scent of her body.
I really want to hold Xiaoyu and sleep like this forever, never apart.
The big hands around Xiao Lingyu's chest tightened unconsciously.
Xiao Lingyu felt very uncomfortable and turned sideways to kiss him.
Su Xingyi turned from passive to active, and took advantage of the enemy's breath to attack the pond and seize the land.
After a long time, Xiao Lingyu finally recovered her strength and lay in his arms.
"Xingyi, are you still having random thoughts now?"
Su Xingyi kissed her hair and said, "No, you told me that you would love you firmly, so I will listen to you honestly and love you firmly without any random thoughts."
Xiao Lingyu was worried and said, "Don't worry, the emperor won't issue such an outrageous order as to let me go free or divorce."
In order to save face, the emperor had no choice but to make the best of the situation and compensate her in other ways.
"Unless you want to divorce me."
"No! I finally have a wife, and she's a noble lady. I'd be stupid to ask for a divorce."
Xiao Lingyu smiled, "That's right, I'm a princess and a noble lady, you have to pamper me and not bully me."
"Is this kind of bullying allowed?" Su Xingyi said while biting her lip.
Xiao Lingyu: ...
Is Su Xingyi trying to trick her?
"Xiao Yu, is it possible?" Su Xingyi saw that Xiao Lingyu did not respond, and seduced her in her ear with his low and magnetic voice.
Xiao Lingyu scratched his itchy ears. Is this guy bad?
"Xiao Yu~"
"Okay, let me tell you." Xiao Lingyu quickly covered his mouth with his hand. "This kind of bullying isn't bullying, so it's fine."
Su Xingyi was overjoyed and kissed Xiao Lingyu deeply again.
After a long pause, he said, "The Emperor will probably restore my fiefdom."
"What is a fiefdom?"
"I'm a princess, and I collect about 30% of the county's taxes every year. I can eat and wear warm clothes without doing anything. I'm a cash cow, and you have to hold on tight and don't let go, otherwise someone else will take me away."
"No, I won't give others this opportunity."
"Master Su, Madam." Mo Shu's voice came from outside the door, "Please move to the dining room. Dinner is ready."
At this time in the dining hall, Su Ning'an spread out the Xiao family portrait in front of Su Ningwen.
"This is my maternal grandfather's family. Can you guess who is my great-grandfather?"
"Those sitting on either side of my mother must be my great-grandparents."
Su Ningan raised his eyebrows, "How did you tell that?"
"It's very simple. The two elders always look at my mother with kind eyes. My mother is very favored at home! They are also very good elders."
"Third brother, you are right. When mother can return to the capital, we will accompany her to the capital together. Then you will be able to see them. They like us and they will like you too."
Su Ningwen looked at Su Ningan, "Have you drawn a picture of me and showed it to them?"
"I drew you, and my grandpa and the others saw you. They said you were very well behaved and cute, and they wanted to see you in person next time instead of a portrait. They also wanted to hug you."
Suning Wen suddenly felt that he had suffered a great loss by not going with them this time.
"When mother can return to the capital, I will go with her next time no matter what."
"Brother Wen, if you go to the capital, you can meet your great-grandfather."
Xiao Lingyu entered the dining hall and pulled Su Ningwen to sit beside her. "There is the Imperial College in the capital, which is the highest institution of learning in Beiyi. If you go to the capital, you can study at the Imperial College."
"No! I'll study wherever my mother is."
He doesn't want to go to the Imperial College!
He has been separated from his mother for a long time, so wouldn't that make the three of them closer to her?
He wouldn't allow that to happen.
"Okay, whatever you want. Let's eat."
