Chu Zan returned to the palace with a leg injury, and he summoned the imperial physician as soon as he returned to his bedroom.
The imperial physician looked at the stitched wound on Chu Zan's calf and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, this wound is stitched so carefully. That girl must know some medical skills."
In fact, she sews better than the imperial physician himself.
Moreover, this medicine is very effective. The emperor was injured last night, and the wound has healed so well today. It looks like it is about to heal.
There was also a scratch on the emperor's chest, of which only a small scar remained.
The imperial physician concluded: "Your Majesty, the girl who saved your Majesty must be a miracle doctor."
Chu Zan felt particularly comfortable hearing the imperial physician praising the girl who saved him.
After the imperial physician had bandaged his wound, he instructed the eunuchs, "Grind the ink and lay out the drawing paper."
The eunuch immediately placed the drawing paper beside the table, took the ink stick, dipped it in water, and ground the ink. After grinding it, he and another eunuch carried the table in front of Chu Zan.
Chu Zan picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and drew the girl based on the impression in his mind.
The eunuch looked at the portrait and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this girl is absolutely stunningly beautiful!"
Chu Zan smiled: "Indeed."
That glimpse of her in the morning was breathtaking.
And last night was wonderful! He missed it and yearned for it.
Chu Zan handed the portrait to the eunuch and said, "Look for a girl with the character 'Jin' in her name based on this portrait."
The eunuch put away the portrait and said to Chu Zan, "Your Majesty, the selection will be held in a few days. This girl has such an extraordinary appearance. She might be from a noble family or an official family."
Chu Zan shook his head: "No, that girl is dressed simply, with only a wooden hairpin on her head. She can't be a girl from an aristocratic family."
The eunuch said, "Then I will go among the people to look for this woman."
Chu Zan thought for a moment and said, "Let's forget about the beauty pageant and just look for this girl among the common people."
The eunuch looked terrified: "Your Majesty, the selection was ordered by the Queen Mother. If it is cancelled, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will be unhappy."
Chu Zan frowned and said, "Forget it for now. I will go and talk to the Queen Mother myself."
The eunuch left with the portrait feeling sad, thinking to himself, I have been preparing for this selection for a long time, and now the emperor says it’s over, what should I do?
Chu Zan just stared blankly at the handkerchief in his hand, stroking the delicately embroidered word "Jin" with his fingertips, recalling every detail of last night, and his heart was filled with ripples again.
The cancellation of the talent show soon alarmed the entire capital.
The Marquis' Mansion naturally also received the news from the palace.
Yu Yunli was very surprised.
She didn't need Yu Jinshu to enter the palace for selection, so she naturally didn't have to give Yu Jinshu the 10,000 taels of gold and 20,000 taels of silver that originally belonged to her.
And she no longer had to consider Yu Jinshu's feelings and could suppress Yu Jinshu as she did before.
This is so delightful.
Zou was also very happy about this.
If I had known this would happen, I would not have let Wen leave the Marquis' Mansion. She would have stayed in the mansion and been tortured to death.
And there is Yu Jinshu and that big yellow dog!
Zou touched the wound on her arm and said angrily, "We must kill that big yellow dog, otherwise we won't be able to cause trouble for Yu Jinshu."
Yu Yunli thought of a solution: "Mom, ask Dad to arrange some guards for us. They are all very skilled in martial arts. Killing a dog is as easy as stepping on an ant."
Zou thought this method was feasible and immediately got up to find Yu Xiaoyuan.
But when they arrived at the study, Yu Xiaoyuan had actually gone out, and the servant beside him said that he had gone to look for Wen.
Zou was so angry that she asked her daughter to leave the house and go to Wen's place.
Yu Jinshu also learned the news in the small, shabby courtyard and was upset for a long time.
Why did Chu Zan cancel the draft?
The system's mechanical voice rang out: [Host, you miscalculated last night. The male protagonist, Chu Zan, took a fancy to you, which is why the audition was canceled.]
Yu Jinshu was anxious: "What should I do? He is in the palace, and I am outside. Will the task of having a child be delayed?"
We spent a passionate night last night, but it was her safe period, so all our efforts were in vain.
System: [Host, don't worry. The hero, Chu Zan, has already arranged for people from the palace to search for you among the common people. You only need to show up outside to let him know of your existence.]
Only then did Yu Jinshu feel relieved.
It seems she has to hang out outside more often.
There is also Yu Yunli's 10,000 taels of gold and 20,000 taels of silver, which she must get.
When Zou and Yu Yunli arrived at the gate of the house where Wen lived, they saw Yu Xiaoyuan showing goodwill to Wen.
"Baozhu, come back with me, I will definitely treat you well in the future."
Wen wanted to close the door, but Yu Xiaoyuan held it and refused to let her.
"Yu Xiaoyuan, you and I are divorced. Please leave here."
"Baozhu, listen to me, I really regret this. Come back to the Marquis' Mansion with me."
"If I don't go back, I will never set foot in the gate of the Marquis' Mansion again."
Seeing that Wen Baozhu didn't listen to all his nice words, Yu Xiaoyuan became angry and said, "Baozhu, if you don't listen, don't blame me for being rude."
Mrs. Wen was also annoyed and glared at Yu Xiaoyuan: "What? Do you still want to kill me?"
Yu Xiaoyuan's face showed a fierce look: "Of course I won't kill you. In short, you must go back with me today." After that, he kicked the door, rushed to Wen Baozhu and was about to hug her.
Wen Baozhu was startled, but fortunately she was prepared and immediately took out the pepper spray and sprayed it at Yu Xiaoyuan's face.
Yu Xiaoyuan didn't expect that the usually gentle and weak woman would actually spray something on his face, causing his eyes to sting and he covered his eyes and wailed.
Seeing this, Zou ran over quickly, supported Yu Xiaoyuan, and yelled at Wen: "You vicious woman, you divorced my husband and yet you still tried to seduce him. If you couldn't seduce him, you'd hurt him. You're truly a vicious person."
Wen was baffled by the scolding: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously him..."
Yu Yunli pointed at Wen and said, "It was you. You seduced my father, and when you failed, you even hurt her."
What Wen was least good at was swearing, and for a moment she didn't know how to fight back.
Fortunately, Yu Jinshu rushed over at this time. Seeing Zou and Yu Yunli bullying her mother, she jumped off the carriage and stood in front of Wen. "Zou Manmiao, if you hadn't seduced my father and lived with him before we got married, how could my mother and I have to live such a hard life? You keep talking about seduction, but you are talking about yourself!"
Zou had used all sorts of tricks to get to the top, and now she was the legitimate wife. She hated it most when someone mentioned those embarrassing things in the past. She was immediately furious and pointed at Yu Jinshu: "You..."
Yu Jinshu glanced at the increasing number of onlookers and sneered at Zou: "If you are not afraid of being embarrassed, I will not hesitate to say a few more words to everyone here."
Yu Yunli couldn't stand hearing these negative things about her mother. She shouted coldly, "If you dare to say that, I will beat you to death." Then she raised her hand and slapped him.
Yu Jinshu had learned grappling techniques, so he reacted quickly. He blocked with his left hand and slapped back with his right hand. With a crisp "pa" sound, Yu Yunli was caught off guard and received a heavy slap.
