She didn't finish her words, but Master Huo had already understood. He was so angry that he raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve, his voice choked with sobs.
"It turned out to be the evil Wushisan. The imperial court has already strictly banned it. What a hateful fellow."
Then, he looked at Shen Yuerong expectantly.
"I've heard that the princess is an excellent doctor. I wonder if there's a way to cure my daughter. She's still young and must not be ruined by the Five Stones Powder."
Shen Yuerong had a serious expression, her eyes fixed on Master Huo in front of her.
"There is definitely a way, but we need to take it step by step. Yesterday's incident was a big deal. How do you plan to deal with it later, Master?"
When talking about this, Master Huo gritted his teeth.
"The Fu family is so shameless. Last night I went to the mansion to ask for an explanation, but they accused my daughter of seducing their son. They even asked us to give them 30,000 taels of silver to keep their mouth shut and admit that they had an engagement long ago."
"Otherwise, there would be a big uproar, and even a report to the government. I was so angry that instead of arguing with them for a few words, the young man and young lady from that family rushed out to beat and kill me. It was extremely embarrassing."
As soon as Shen Yuerong heard it, she knew it was Fu Hengyue and Fu Hengjing. They had been taught by the old lady to be lawless.
She sighed and looked at Master Huo.
"I do have a way to reduce the harm to Miss Huo, but you will need to compromise temporarily."
Master Huo's heart skipped a beat and he looked at Shen Yuerong, then he heard her next words.
"Now, Master Huo has only one way to go, which is to let Miss Huo marry Fu Hengjing, but Master, don't be in a hurry."
"We can get married, but Fu Hengjing needs to marry into the Huo family. Once he's married into the Huo family, you can do whatever you want with him. Master, do you understand what I mean?"
"If some secrets are accidentally discovered, then everyone will just say that you are putting justice above your own, and the Fu family will not be able to do anything about it."
Shen Yuerong had something to say, but she just smiled and looked at Master Huo.
There was a gleam in Master Huo's eyes. Having been immersed in officialdom for many years, he naturally knew what it meant, but he still felt unwilling in his heart.
My precious daughter is actually going to marry Fu Hengjing, a bastard.
Seeing Master Huo like this, Shen Yuerong continued to speak.
"If Master Huo has other ideas, that's fine too. I'll keep it a secret for you."
She knew that this method was too risky, that Master Huo might not agree, and that he also had the Crown Prince's protection.
What if the prince is willing to take action to solve it?
When Master Huo heard what Shen Yuerong said, his eyes flickered and he bowed.
"Princess, this matter is too risky. I want to go back and think about it."
Shen Yuerong nodded and smiled in response: "Of course you can, someone send Master Huo away."
Before Master Huo walked out, he slapped himself a few times, tore his clothes and hair, and apologized to Shen Yuerong with a smile.
"Please understand, Princess. If I walk out of this door peacefully, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."
Shen Yuerong naturally understood and winked at Taohua.
Taohua understood instantly, and walked out with Master Huo, shouting arrogantly through the door.
"You are just a tutor, yet you dare to give orders to the princess? Get out of here right now. I'm lucky I didn't beat you to death."
Master Huo covered his face and glared at Taohua angrily.
“It’s totally unreasonable.”
After leaving behind a few words, he left in a panic, and Taohua drove away the people who were watching nearby.
"What are you looking at? Have you ever seen people quarreling?"
After everyone left, Taohua returned home.
"What should the princess do next?"
Taohua couldn't help but look at Shen Yuerong with some worry. If she got involved in the Huo family's affairs for no reason, it might become a handle if the censor accused her.
And Shen Yuerong smiled faintly.
"It's getting late, we should have breakfast."
She raised her head and looked in Chi Mu's direction, and asked with a smile, "Does the prince mind if I act like this?"
Chi Mu's tall body was full of oppression, and his eyes were filled with dark light.
"My lady, you have your reasons for doing this, but you should change your words and call me Langjun, Sir, Mulang, or Brother Mu."
He listed almost all the names that Shen Yuerong should be called, staring at her with burning eyes, waiting for her to choose one.
Shen Yuerong's eyes were filled with crystal clear light, and she opened her red lips slightly and called out.
"Lang Jun, Sir, Mu Lang, Brother Mu, which one do you like?"
When she spoke, her voice was gentle and lingering, like a warm spring breeze that enveloped Chi Mu's heart.
Chi Mu's eyes became more and more fiery, and he stretched out his slender and bony palm to wrap around Shen Yuerong's small hand.
"Mu Lang likes it."
Shen Yuerong burst out laughing. This person obviously liked Mu Lang more, but couldn't bear to give up the others.
She saw through it but didn't say anything, just called out softly.
"Mulang, we should go to dinner."
So Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu went to have dinner together.
After the meal, Chi Mu ordered people to move out the dozen or so boxes from yesterday, and told all the servants to gather in the huge hall.
Chi Mu moved a chair with an armchair, asked Shen Yuerong to sit on his left, and announced loudly.
"Today is the first day of my marriage to the princess, so I thought of bringing you all to meet the princess so that we can get along well in the future."
Then he turned to look at Shen Yuerong and explained: "These servants have been by my side for many years. They went to the battlefield when they were young and just suffered some injuries."
Hearing what he said, Shen Yuerong's eyes swept over everyone and she immediately saw their old illnesses and murderous intent.
Shen Yuerong stood up slowly and bowed to them solemnly.
"Thank you all for accompanying the prince for so many years."
