Many people saw Su's father and mother, as well as the Jinyiwei behind them. Everyone in Changxing Marquis's Mansion was shocked and stood up to look out the window.

Chu Jinyao's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, and his face was serious. How could Su's father and mother offend these evil stars? Chu Jinyao looked carefully and found that in addition to Su's father and mother, Su Sheng was also dragged here. Su Hui seemed to be frightened as well. Now she was following a person closely, lowering her head and saying nice things.

Chu Jinyao followed Su Hui's gaze and was shocked. Isn't this the head shopkeeper Wei? He is here too?

Chu Jinyao felt something was wrong. Old Madam Chu and Chu Zhu saw something wrong in the inner room and stood up in shock. Chu Zhu was so scared that her voice changed: "Mom, why did the Jinyiwei come to our house?"

Old Madam Chu's hands were shaking, and she stammered: "I don't know, our family hasn't done anything wrong, how could they be provoked?"

"Could it be that the boy at home is not careful and secretly caused trouble outside?" Chu Zhu asked suspiciously.

Old Madam Chu was frightened by this possibility. She calmed down and saw the people behind the Jinyiwei. Her thoughts finally came back slowly: "It doesn't seem like it. They came with these people from the Su family."

Old Madam Chu and Chu Zhu talked for a long time. Seeing that the noise outside was getting louder and louder, they couldn't justify not showing up. Old Madam Chu relied on her age and seniority and said, "The Marquis should have already gone back. After all, they are the Jinyiwei. No one can entertain them. I'd better go."

The powerful and noble people are afraid of the Jinyiwei. Even though Chuzhu is the second wife of the Prince's Mansion, she is still too scared to show her face when she sees the Jinyiwei. Old Madam Chu walked out, and Chuzhu hid in the house to watch. The two daughters-in-law of the Zhao family and the Yan family had no choice but to follow Old Madam Chu. They didn't dare to hide like Chuzhu did.

Several girls were looking out from the hall. When they saw Old Lady Chu, they all bowed. Old Lady Chu said to her two daughters-in-law behind her, "You are too shy to follow me. Just stay here and watch over these girls. The Jinyiwei are always reckless. Don't let them bump into the girls."

Yan was overjoyed and immediately agreed. After seeing this, Zhao felt vaguely that she was the wife of the marquis and it was not right for her not to show up. However, she was afraid of these people outside. In the time she hesitated, Old Lady Chu had already walked out. It was too late for Zhao to follow her, so she followed suit and stayed.

Old Lady Chu saw what Zhao did and was disappointed in her heart without saying anything. It seems that choosing a smart and capable daughter-in-law for the second young master is urgent.

After Mrs. Chu came outside, she said politely to these Jinyiwei: "Hello, everyone. I am sorry to have come to the cold mansion. I wonder what you are doing here?"

The person in charge of Changxing Marquis's Mansion took so long to come out. In the eyes of these arrogant hawks and dogs, it was obviously very rude. However, surprisingly, they did not shout, but politely asked: "Are you the old lord of Changxing Marquis' Mansion?"

This attitude actually calmed Mrs. Chu, and she became more cautious: "Yes."

The leading Jinyiwei bowed to Old Madam Chu and said, "Old Madam, our commander, Lord Zhong Fushi, asked us to give his regards to you. He is busy with trivial matters and it is not convenient for him to come to you in person, so he sent a few of us to represent you. I heard that these are the people who came to your house to make trouble a few days ago?"

Old Madam Chu's calves were shaking when she heard this. If they were domineering and arrogant from the beginning, Old Madam Chu would have thought it was normal, but now they were so gentle and kind, which made Old Madam Chu terrified. She would never dare to let the Jinyi Guards interfere in her family affairs. Old Madam Chu quickly said, "It's okay. These are just some small matters in our house. We don't need to bother you."

Old Madam Chu really didn't take Father and Mother Su seriously. Now she only cared about what to do with the Marquis's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. As for these culprits, Old Madam Chu had people watching them to prevent them from running away. Anyway, the final result would be a beating and a lesson. What else could they do? It didn't matter whether it was taught sooner or later. So she might as well let it go and resolve the precarious engagement first.

Until today, Old Madam Chu still wanted to reconcile with the Prince's Mansion. Although Chu Jinyao was on the side, she had to strive for the greatest benefit as much as possible and not let the Changxing Marquis' Mansion be humiliated. Originally, Madam Chu was about to talk about this matter with Chu Zhu, but suddenly the Jinyiwei came and interrupted what Madam Chu was about to say. Now Madam Chu was naturally in no mood to talk about marriage, but she also didn't want any more twists and turns. The Su family's affairs were covered up by their own family, and if the Jinyiwei got involved, it would only make things worse.

Madam Chu wanted to make a big deal out of a small matter in her words. The Jinyiwei who had just spoken smiled and said, "You think it's a small matter, but others may not. Now, it's not your family that has the final say."

"What?" Madam Chu frowned, feeling suspicious.

The other party seemed not to want to say more. He clasped his fist to the people behind him and said, "Master Wei Wu, the person has been brought to you. This matter also involves you, and we will not interfere with the rest of the matter."

Wei Wu nodded, returned the gift to the Jinyi Guards, and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. I will treat you all to a drink later."

They were polite to each other. Su's father and mother were dragged out without knowing anything, and now they were looking at each other in surprise and fear. Su Sheng was dragged here in a disheveled state. While they were talking, Su Sheng quietly asked his father, "Dad, what happened? Who are they and why did they arrest me?"

Although the Jinyiwei was notorious, the common people only heard of it in name and were not as afraid of it as the dignitaries who had personally experienced the horror of these hawks and dogs. Su's father was more knowledgeable than Su Sheng and vaguely recognized that the clothes of these people were not right, but he did not know what kind of people they were facing. When Su's father saw the Jinyi Guards dragging them to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion, he thought they were from the Changxing Marquis' Mansion, so he comforted his son and said, "It's okay. We are farmers, and they dare not do anything to us."

Su Sheng was relieved and nodded, "That's good. It turns out that it's all about that girl Su Yao. She is so ungrateful. It's fine if she doesn't know how to repay our family, but why does she always cause trouble for our family..."

Before Su Sheng finished speaking, he was suddenly kicked in the chest. He was almost kicked out, and there was a loud "bang" when he landed. Su Sheng's face turned red and white, and blood immediately flowed from his mouth.

People in the yard were not expecting this sudden change, and they screamed in fear. Old Madam Chu took a step back in fear. Chu Jinyao had never seen such a scene before. She gasped in fear and covered her mouth with her hands.

The girls standing in the room with Chu Jinyao were also like this. Their faces were pale and they held hands tightly with the maids. The third lady and Aunt Huang had learned many street habits and were the most naughty, but she was almost scared to tears when she saw the scene in front of her.

When Wei Wu heard that Su Sheng dared to make up stories about Chu Jinyao, he kicked him in the heart without any hesitation. The maids and young ladies screamed in fear, but the other Jinyi Guards did not change their expressions and even smiled slightly, watching the scene with interest.

Su's father and mother were stunned by the scene just now. When they reacted, they immediately rushed to Su Sheng's side, wiping the blood and helping him up: "Son, are you okay? You are the apple of your eye. If something happens to you, it will be more painful than killing us."

Su Hui was originally following Wei Wu to say good things. She never expected Wei Wu to do such a cruel thing. Su Hui covered her mouth in disbelief. She didn't care about being angry with her family, so she rushed over to see Su Sheng.

Wei Wu looked at Su Sheng coldly: "You are really so brave, who allowed you to speak?"

Su's mother usually doted on her only son, but now she saw her son being kicked half to death, her courage almost broke. Hearing Wei Wu say this, Su's mother wanted to eat Wei Wu's flesh and blood, and she rushed towards Wei Wu without caring: "You bunch of bastards, I will fight you!"

The Jinyiwei standing on the outermost side drew out his knife with a sound: "Master Wei Wu, considering that you and your wife are old and weak, I will not bother with you, don't be shameless."

This group of people had a kind of domineering attitude unique to the capital. Only those who often walk under the imperial city and walk on the edge of power can develop a high-minded and disregard morality and law. Su Mu was also a fierce person in the village, and she was no less fierce in swearing and cursing. When she saw this scene, she immediately repeated her old tricks and fell to the ground and sweared.

"It's unjust. In broad daylight, officials beat innocent people!"

Old Madam Chu finally recovered from the shock just now, but just as she calmed down, she heard Su Mu say these words. Old Madam Chu was shocked and hurriedly said, "Shut up! Hurry up and pull up this slutty woman!"

Old Madam Chu was really scared to death. Who are the Jinyiwei? How could you play this trick on them? Su's father and mother don't want to live anymore, so don't let them bring trouble to Changxing Marquis Mansion.

The leader of the Jinyiwei said to Wei Wuye with a smile: "It's really new that there are still people in Shanxi who dare to provoke Wei Wuye. You are really asking for trouble by making up stories about others and you are making up stories about Wei Wuye. Don't try to do this in front of us. We don't know how many dead people we have seen. If you really annoy us, let alone just kicking him, even if you beat him to death, no one dares to say anything."

Su's mother rolled on the ground, but she didn't expect it to be effective, and she heard such a speech. Su's mother was famous for being a troublemaker in the village. Once something happened to Su's mother, she would make a fuss and curse. Many tender-skinned women and wives were unable to talk back, and their reasons became unreasonable. Su's mother had always been very proud of herself and thought she was very powerful, but now facing this group of people, Su's mother found that her previous experience of throwing tantrums and rolling around was useless. Because this group of people did not need to be reasoned with, nor did they need others to judge.

Su's father looked at his son lying on the ground with a pale face, breathing out more than breathing in, and felt very distressed. After hearing what the Jinyiwei said, blood foamed from Su Sheng's mouth, and he kept saying, "Dad, save me, they want to beat me to death..."

Su Hui burst into tears. Su Sheng had been the bully in the family since he was a child, and he was unscrupulous and would grab whatever he liked. Although Su Hui looked down on him, he was her brother after all. How could she not be sad when he became like this? After hearing what Su Sheng said, Su's father was angry and hateful. He was so angry that he picked up a stone from the flowerbed and threw it at those people with gritted teeth. Taking advantage of the chaos, he even wanted to snatch the opponent's knife: "If you dare to hit my son, I will fight with you!"

However, Su's father was of low level, and what kind of person could survive in such a strict place like Jinyiwei? Su's father was quickly subdued, and after this incident, Jinyiwei was completely enraged.

"Oh, you feel so sad when I kicked your son, then why don't you feel sad about your reputation of murdering other people's daughters?" A Jinyi guard had a displeased look on his face and was about to give Father Su a beating. Chu Jinyao couldn't bear it anymore and quickly opened the curtain and said, "Just talk and don't hit him! He is old and can't stop you from kicking him."

Old Madam Chu was startled and said quickly, "Go back quickly, you have no right to speak here."

Chu Jinyao said anxiously, "If we don't stop them, they will kill someone!"

Old Madam Chu wanted to say, "What does this have to do with you?" The Jinyi Guards caused a death in the Marquis' Mansion, which had nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion, but if they were to interfere and annoy these masters, it would be troublesome! In

front of so many people, Madam Chu couldn't say it directly, but just glared at Chu Jinyao sternly: "You are so presumptuous, take the fifth lady back."

The maids in the room chased out, forcibly grabbed Chu Jinyao's arm, and were about to drag Chu Jinyao away. At this time, a voice suddenly came from below: "Stop."

The maids shuddered in their hearts and couldn't help but let go. Chu Jinyao took this opportunity to break away, rubbing her painful hand in annoyance.

Several Jinyiwei looked at each other, and one of them asked, "Are you the fifth lady of Changxing Marquis's Mansion?"

Chu Jinyao looked at them warily and said, "It's me."

Wei Wu reacted quickly and stepped forward, respectfully and politely bowing to Chu Jinyao, saying, "Fifth lady."

Chu Jinyao was frightened and took a step back. Linglong and several maids immediately stood in front of Chu Jinyao, with vigilant eyes.

What does this mean?

Chu Jinyao was extremely surprised and a little scared. How would Wei Wu and this group of Jinyiwei greet her? Wei Wu couldn't explain it in detail to Chu Jinyao. Now the marriage decree had not come down, and Wei Wu didn't dare to reveal the prince's affairs. Moreover, the Crown Prince kept his composure and did not tell Chu Jinyao about the Crown Princess. If Wei Wu had been nosy and snatched the Crown Prince's first place... Haha, guess what the Crown Prince would do.

The remaining Jinyi Guards took a look and were surprised to find that this was the future Queen of the East Palace. While they were amazed, they also secretly envied the Crown Prince's good fortune. She is worthy of being the grandson of the Dragon. Only such a person can afford such a beauty. Even if others can afford to marry her, they probably can't keep her.

Since Chu Jinyao came out, the situation in the courtyard changed immediately. Wei Wu was respectful, and the Jinyi Guards seemed to be cautious and slightly avoided his eyes. Chu Jinyao was very confused about this, but since everyone had already come out, she had to finish her next words: "Master Wei, my adoptive parents caused you trouble a few days ago and made up your private affairs. Please don't take it to heart."

Wei Wu didn't dare to let Chu Jinyao apologize to him. After all, he should be the one who died for the reputation of the future Crown Princess. Fortunately, he was a concubine, and the Crown Prince was generous and didn't care. Otherwise, he would have fallen there today.

Wei Wu glanced at Su's father and mother even more coldly. These two stupid and vicious people almost caused him a big disaster. The prince asked them to help Chu Jinyao solve this matter, and said that if they were unsure about the severity of the matter, they could ask Chu Jinyao. Although Wei Wu agreed at the time, he knew in his heart that he should not ask Chu Jinyao.

After all, they were Chu Jinyao's adoptive parents. With the hat of filial piety pressed down on them, would Chu Jinyao say whether to deal with them or not? There was no such way for a servant. A servant should think what the master thinks and do what the master cannot do. The affairs of the Su family could only be piled on Wei Wu's head. He took action based on Chu Jinyao and the prince's thoughts.

Wei Wu then said, "Miss Wu, you are too polite. I am just a businessman. I have damaged your reputation, which is a crime punishable by death. How can I dare to accept your favor? Don't worry, I have been doing business for many years and I know a few people in the underworld. I will ask the Jinyiwei to investigate the right and wrong of this matter. After everything is thoroughly investigated, I will report to you."

The Jinyiwei who was named also clasped his fists and said, "Miss Wu, don't worry, I will investigate it thoroughly and help you vent your anger."

Chu Jinyao was very surprised. Why did they suddenly become so polite to her? These Jinyiwei were so arrogant just a moment ago, why did they clasp their fists to her respectfully now? What's even more strange is, why did they call themselves "subordinates" and say they wanted to "vent her anger"? Shouldn't she be cleared of all charges?

Chu Jinyao was alert and puzzled. Old Madam Chu was watching from the side and became more and more confused. Old Madam Chu said carefully: "Thank you for your willingness to help my daughter, but this is our family affair of Changxing Marquis Mansion, and we dare not ask the Jinyi Guard to interfere."

"Old lady, I know what you are worried about." The leader of the Jinyi Guards couldn't help but said, "You just think that the family's shame should not be made public, and you are afraid that we will find out something and implicate other people in your house. But everything has its own justice. The fifth lady of your house has been wronged. We must seek justice for this matter. No matter who is wronged, the fifth lady must not be wronged."

Chu Zhu hid in the house and listened. Hearing this, she couldn't help but mutter: "Who asked these people to come? Why are they so protective of Chu Jinyao, and even a little respectful?" Chu Zhu's eyes moved to Wei Wu, and she sneered in her heart when she thought of what Wei Wu had just said. She originally thought that Su's father and mother said that the head of the Wei family admired Chu Jinyao was nonsense, but now it seems that it is really true. Even so, they still want to be promoted to their Huailing County Prince's Mansion?

Old Madam Chu also had these signs in her mind, otherwise, she really couldn't explain the actions of these people in front of her. The Jinyiwei was still unrestrained in front of her, an old feudal lord, but they were very well-behaved when facing Chu Jinyao. If they were to give face to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion, how could they bypass her, an old lady, and flatter Chu Jinyao?

The Jinyiwei gave face to Wei Wu, so naturally it was impossible for them to say that Wei Wu was a eunuch, and Wei Wu himself was even less likely to say so. So in this way, outsiders didn't know the inside story, but it confirmed the rumors even more.

Wei Wu kicked Su Sheng, who was groaning on the ground, and then said to Chu Jinyao: "Don't worry, young lady, we will deal with these people, you don't have to worry."

Chu Jinyao was scared to death when she heard it: "What are you going to do?"

Wei Wu lowered his head and said: "No one will die, young lady, don't worry, we will only handle it according to the law, let them deal with the matter, and get what they deserve."

If Chu Jinyao, or anyone else in the courtyard knew Wei Wu's identity, they would not believe Wei Wu's words. A ruthless eunuch dared to say that he would follow the law and deal with the matter?

But the people in Changxing Marquis's Mansion knew nothing about this, and could only watch the Jinyi Guards take the people of the Su family back to the guard station. Today, they were brought here just to vent the Crown Princess' anger. They were doing business properly, so of course they had to avoid the Queen.

Chu Jinyao watched as Su's father and mother were held by others, and Su Sheng was dragged like a dead dog. Chu Jinyao hated their viciousness, forcing her to death for her daughter, but now that Chu Jinyao saw the end of the Su family, she didn't know what to say. She sighed, turned her head away and said, "Didn't you agree that no one would die?"

"Of course." Wei Wu saluted Chu Jinyao with an apologetic smile. When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped and said casually, "The people from the Huailing County Prince's Mansion should be in the mansion now, right?"

Chu Zhu heard it inside and her heart trembled. Old Madam Chu hurriedly said, "Yes. Why... are you asking this?"

Seeing the relaxed and cheerful style of Wei Wu and Jinyiwei, Old Madam Chu no longer dared to treat Wei Wu as a businessman.

Wei Wu smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just want to remind you that if you want to live a good and peaceful life, don't arrange a marriage for the fifth lady during this period. By the way, please ask Madam Chu to tell the Huailing County Prince's Mansion that the fifth lady's people are not something they can think about."

Chu Zhu was furious when she heard this. Their family was about to become the prince's in-laws, and Wei Wu, a merchant, dared to say such a thing to belittle their palace? Chu Zhu was furious, but she didn't dare to say a word. Madam Chu smiled and said, "Okay, we understand."

Did they understand? Madam Chu actually didn't understand anything.

When Wei Wu and the Jinyi Guards left the mansion, they happened to meet the Marquis of Changxing who was hurrying back to the Marquis's mansion. When the Marquis of Changxing saw them, he jumped off his horse and walked over to greet the Jinyiwei: "Why are you leaving now?"

The Jinyiwei and Wei Wu were very polite to the Marquis of Changxing, but they ignored the Marquis's attempts to keep him. The Marquis of Changxing was confused. After the people had gone far away, he asked the staff around him in confusion: "What do they mean?"

The staff could not figure it out either, and said: "I can't tell for now. If you want to know, you can go in and ask the old lady. They have seen the Jinyiwei for a long time, and maybe they know the whole story."

The Marquis of Changxing went in to talk to the old lady Chu. The entire Changxing Marquisate was confused and panicked by the Jinyiwei who suddenly came to the house with a strange attitude. On the other hand, the Su family, who were farmers at that time, were also experiencing earth-shaking changes.

Jinyiwei personally escorted the three members of the Su family to the entrance of the village and threw the Su family members to the ground in front of many villagers who were watching the excitement. The Jinyiwei did not shy away from telling people off. They shouted to the village chief across the crowd: "These guys went to the city to cause trouble and dared to slander the nobles. They have completely offended the high officials in the capital. Their son seems to want to take the imperial examination. The noble said that this family has an unrighteous mind and is not worthy of reading the books of sages. In the future, he will be exempted from the examination."

The village chief had never seen such a high-ranking official in his life, not to mention that these were the eagle claws of the court, the Jinyiwei. What kind of big boss could be called a noble by the Jinyiwei? The village chief did not dare to think about it, so he naturally agreed with whatever they said.

The Su family's actions were usually unpopular, and now Su Sheng was deprived of his qualification to take the imperial examinations. It was obvious that he would never achieve anything in his life. Those who had been bullied by Su Sheng and scolded by Su's mother in the past were very happy. Some were secretly happy, while others stepped forward to ridicule him: "Hey, isn't this the boy from the Su family? Didn't your family say that you married a noble and your daughter enjoyed the blessings of a noble family? How come even her fame has been deprived of her now?"

"What you said is true. He didn't pass the imperial examinations in the first place, so how could his fame be deprived of him?"

"Haha, that's good now. He doesn't have to take the exams anymore."

There were no secrets in the village, and the news that the Su family had offended a noble quickly spread. Su Sheng had been idle these years and accomplished nothing. In the past, everyone was afraid of him because he had studied and could take the imperial examination in the future. Now that they knew that Su Sheng had no chance in this life, their contempt was revealed and everyone reviled him.

Su's father and Su's mother had always favored sons over daughters. They regarded their only son as their lifeblood and pampered him until he was useless. Now that he was cut off from the path to fame, after Su's father and Su's mother cried, they thought of marrying their son so that their grandson could study and become an official. However, those who have girls at home see that Su Sheng wants money but no money, and no one wants people. Now that his reputation is bad, no girl is willing to marry him. Su's father and mother always thought that their sons were the heirs, and their daughters were other people's money-losing goods. But now, no one's daughter is willing to marry them. The inheritance of the family line, which they regarded as the root of their life, was cut off by their precious son.

This is almost more painful than killing Su's father and mother.

And because Su's mother had done so many evil things in the past, now that she is in trouble, no one is willing to speak for them, but instead, they keep adding insult to injury. The Su family is unpopular, and the village chief is jealous of them, so he refuses to make decisions for them. Their days are getting harder and harder. Jinyiwei, or in other words, Qin Yi was right in promising Chu Jinyao that Su's father and mother are safe, but all the evil they had done in the past has come back to bite them.

The crime is deserved, let's deal with it based on the facts.

In the Datong military camp, Qin Yi received the imperial decree from the capital without any surprise.

The emperor summoned the crown prince back to the palace.
