Shen Yuerong didn't know whether Fu Hengjing could understand the deeper meaning of her words, but she had done her best.
She turned to look at Chi Mu, who had already evacuated the people, and gave a faint smile.
"Let's go, it's all over."
She knew that there was no point in staying any longer as Fu Hengjing could no longer provide any useful information.
And those who were betrayed would only sacrifice a few small minions, while the people behind the scenes would remain safe and sound.
Later, Shen Yuerong learned that Fu Hengjing was beaten with fifty sticks and was originally only required to go to a place like Lingnan, but he volunteered to go to the Northern Frontier.
Shen Yuerong thought that he must want to atone for his sins.
The door was pushed open, and Chi Mu walked in carrying the chicken soup he had made himself.
"Come here, my lady. This is the chicken soup I made myself. After you drink it, I will take you for a walk in the street."
Shen Yuerong put down the Chinese medicine book in her hand and replied gracefully: "Okay, I'll be right there."
…
In the general's mansion, Fu Hengyu obtained the relevant records of the trial and keenly realized that all this must be related to the prince.
So he took the records to the East Palace to inquire about the situation.
As a result, as soon as Fu Hengyu submitted the record, the prince didn't even look at it and warned him coldly.
"I haven't yet held your Fu family responsible, but you're the first to come and question me?"
Fu Hengyu clasped his fists and saluted, stiffening his neck and retorting: "Your Highness, calm down. This is not what I meant. It's just that my younger brother made some mistakes when he was young. I hope Your Majesty can help me."
The prince suddenly smashed the teacup in his hand, his face extremely gloomy.
"Could it be that General Fu wants to confiscate all of our property and exile us, sending the men to the army and the women to become official prostitutes, so he brought this filthy thing to me?!"
It was obvious that he was threatening Fu Hengyu.
If Fu Hengyu still wants to pursue this matter, then he will have to wait for something to happen in the General's Mansion.
He knelt there with a livid face, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The prince's tone suddenly softened, and he walked up to Fu Hengyu and patted him on the shoulder.
"You have to believe that I have always valued you, so don't let me down. Your brother is now just a mute and has been convicted of a serious crime. He has no future."
"I hope General Fu can still make it clear."
He pinched Fu Hengyu's shoulder hard, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
If Fu Hengyu didn't have the title of general, he would be considered a big shot in the military camp, so they would treat him better.
Otherwise, he would have found ways to destroy such a stupid person long ago.
In the end, Fu Hengyu could only leave the East Palace disappointed and walked towards home exhausted.
As he passed by a prosperous street, he saw a familiar carriage parked not far away, and Qinghua was waiting in front of the carriage.
Fu Hengyu's eyes lit up, the person sitting inside must be Shen Yuerong.
He had read the case records and knew that Shen Yuerong had saved her brother, so she must still have feelings for him.
Ever since he divorced Shen Yuerong, he felt more and more that Shen Yuerong had done a good job before and had endured a lot of grievances.
Although he felt regretful, he never talked about it with anyone.
Whenever he saw Shen Yuerong, he couldn't help but want to get closer.
Fu Hengyu had just taken two steps closer when he saw a dignified and cold figure walking out of the shop next to the carriage.
It’s Chi Mu.
Chi Mu was holding a lunch basket in one hand and a piece of cake in the other, with a gentle look on his face, as he stopped in front of the carriage.
He seemed to say something, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a hand as slender as a green onion stretched out, and then walked down from the carriage slowly.
Shen Yuerong was wearing a lavender elegant embroidered gown, her skin was as white as jade, and her brows were lightly drawn, she was already a stunning beauty.
She looked at Chi Mu with her clear and moist eyes, her eyebrows curved and a dimple appeared on her lips.
When she stood next to Chi Mu, she was not inferior at all, but rather they were equally matched.
She seemed to say something to Chi Mu, and the two of them walked side by side towards the jewelry shop in front, talking and laughing.
Fu Hengyu was like a thief who was peeping at other people's happiness. He just stood there in a daze as he watched the scene in front of him.
He seemed to have never seen Shen Yuerong smile like this before. It was so beautiful that he could not forget it, and he often dreamed of this scene at night.
It's just that he became Chi Mu, talking and laughing with Shen Yuerong.
Fu Hengyu returned to the general's mansion in a daze.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, the old lady and the maids rushed over aggressively, and without waiting for Fu Hengyu to say anything, they started to scold him viciously.
"Our whole family supported you to become a general, and this is how you repay us. You can't even protect your own brother."
"I'm giving you an ultimatum. You must rescue your brother, or I'll die here today."
Fu Hengyu was already in a bad mood, and the old lady's yelling immediately made him furious, and he punched the pillar next to him.
The cylinder showed signs of cracking, and the old lady stopped talking in fear. Then she reacted and started cursing again.
"Why are you crazy? If you have the guts, go outside and rescue your brother. If you don't go, I will!!"
"I must make the Dali Temple Minister release my son."
She had just taken a few steps when Fu Hengyu retorted in a sinister tone.
"Mother, if you want the entire General's Mansion to be exiled with Fu Hengjing, then you can go ahead and make a scene."
The old lady noticed something was wrong and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Fu Hengyu approached slowly, with a gloomy aura around him.
"Fu Hengjing has become like this because of you, my mother. If you had disciplined him more and stopped him from going out and messing around with those people, how could he have become like this?"
"Now that the case is over, he is destined to be exiled. Instead of crying here, mother, why not buy some necessities and send them to your brother, and give him a few favors so that he will suffer less during his exile."
His tone paused, becoming more gloomy.
"From today on, everyone in the mansion and my mother must control their behavior and words and not cause trouble again. Otherwise, I, the general, will also be exiled."
He left a few words and strode back to his courtyard, and told Du Wan the same words.
Du Wan was not stupid, so she naturally understood what was said. She decided to take a good rest for a while and make other plans later.
The general's mansion fell into an extremely quiet state. Shen Yuerong did not care, but started to prepare with Chi Mu for returning home in three days.
Although the Shen family has no master now, Shen Yuerong manages it in an orderly manner.
Even though she had married into the palace, the Shen Mansion was still running smoothly, though it was a little sad.
Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu supported each other as they stepped over the threshold. The housekeeper then ordered people to set off firecrackers, which finally added some liveliness to the scene.
The butler folded his hands in front of him and smiled.
"To welcome the princess home, we must light firecrackers to welcome her. The master and his wife will be happy when their spirits in heaven see this."
Seeing this, Shen Yuerong smiled and said, “You’ve worked hard.”
She and Chi Mu came into the huge hall, and she felt mixed emotions again.
If my parents, brothers and sister-in-law were still alive, it would be very hot here.
The next moment, she was embraced by Chi Mu, and his deep voice rang in her ears.
