Chapter 051
Princess Rui saw blood seeping from under Shen Zi's skirt, her face changed and she said in a deep voice, "Is there a doctor?"
"Yes." Madam Yongle also noticed it and felt something was wrong. She hurriedly said, "Go and call the doctor."
Doctor Qian was in the courtyard. He himself did not dare to go to the Rui Palace to treat the injury of the fifth lady. When he heard the maid calling him, he ran over and said, "Hurry up and carry her into the house."
Princess Rui looked at the wife of Yongle Marquis, who said, "Come this way."
Several strong old women carried Shen Zi and quickly followed the wife of Yongle Marquis. When Princess Rui saw the handprint on Shen Zi's face, her eyes flashed and she looked at Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan also had a look of regret. He didn't know that Shen Zi was pregnant. In fact, Shen Zi's current situation had nothing to do with Shen Xuan. But what if Shen Zi insisted that Shen Xuan had caused her to have a miscarriage? That would be the end of her.
Princess Rui asked in a low voice, "Who was there at the time?"
Shen Xuan told everyone who saw him do it. Princess Rui nodded and thought about how to deal with the aftermath. At this time, An Ning had already rushed back with the ointment and bowed when she saw Princess Rui and Shen Xuan.
Princess Rui said gently, "What are you doing? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"There is a box of imperial snow lotus ointment in the mansion. Madam just saw that the fifth young lady was injured, so she asked me to bring it here quickly." An Ning said respectfully.
Princess Rui's eyes flashed, and she said, "This is true... Let me take a look."
An Ning presented it with both hands. Princess Rui opened the lid, gently scooped out a piece and smelled it, then closed the box and handed it to An Ning, saying, "Send it quickly and tell your wife that everything will be decided after the imperial physician arrives."
"Yes." After An Ning heard what Princess Rui said, she understood in her heart that these words were indeed good for Shen Jin. The medicine was good, but it could not withstand other people's slander.
After An Ning left, Cui Xi said, "Princess, go and see the fifth young lady, and I will go and see the second young lady."
Princess Rui patted Cui Xi's hand and said, "Go."
Cui Xi shook her hand slightly without leaving any trace, and then walked towards Shen Zi. Because they were in someone else's house, Princess Rui couldn't say much, but she looked at her son's expression and said, "It's okay. You take someone to pick up Madam Zheng and the others and tell them what happened in general."
When Shen Xuan heard his mother say this, he felt relieved and said, "Yes."
Princess Rui said in a deep voice, "Shen Zi was respectful and virtuous in the Rui Palace. How could she become so jealous and cruel in such a short time after marrying into the Zheng family? But after all, she has married into the Zheng family, and the Rui Palace will not interfere anymore."
"I understand." Shen Xuan said.
Princess Rui waved her hand and went inside to visit Shen Rong. When Shen Rong saw Princess Rui, she called out, "Mother."
"Poor thing." Princess Rui walked over quickly and took a close look at Shen Rong's face. The blood on her face had dried up a little, but the wound was still oozing blood slightly, not much. The areas farther away from the wound had been wiped clean.
An Ning has already given the ointment to Madam Zhao, and it is up to Madam Zhao to decide when to take it back.
Soon news came from Shen Zi, and the maid came over hurriedly and said that the baby in Shen Zi's belly might not be saved. If a decision could be made, Doctor Qian would prescribe medicine to make the baby flow out.
Everyone looked at Princess Rui, who simply said, "Although the second girl is the princess of my Rui Palace, she has already married into the Zheng family. Let Doctor Qian do his best to preserve the pregnancy, and the rest will be decided after the Zheng family arrives."
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhao looked at Princess Rui. Princess Rui really hated Shen Zi. If she really cared about Shen Zi at this moment, she should have asked the doctor to expel the dirty blood in Shen Zi's stomach as soon as possible. Although miscarriage would hurt the body, it would be fine after a period of recuperation. But now Princess Rui asked the doctor to find a way to keep the baby and wait for the Zheng family to arrive. This delay... would cause great harm to Shen Zi's body.
But is Princess Rui's behavior wrong? No, after all, Shen Zi has already married into the Zheng family and is pregnant with the Zheng family's child. If she doesn't intervene, no one can say that she is wrong. If she really intervenes, she may end up being blamed.
Although Shen Jin was married, she was not aware of such things. She just pursed her lips and whispered, "How come Second Sister didn't know that she was pregnant?"
Nanny Zhao also whispered, "Her mind is on other things."
Shen Jin said, "What a pity." Although she didn't like Shen Zi, the child was not at fault. She reached out and touched her belly. When would she have her husband's child?
Zhao Mama naturally noticed it, and just consoled her, "It will be safer to wait until Madam is older."
"Yeah." Shen Jin stopped talking.
Princess Rui sighed and said, "I'll go check on the second girl."
Shen Qi said, "Mother, shall I go with you?"
"No need." Princess Rui said, "You stay here with the fifth girl." After that, she took the maid to Shen Zi's side.
Shen Zi was lying on the bed. Doctor Qian was giving her acupuncture. Her face was extremely serious and there was sweat on her forehead. The slap mark on her face had disappeared. Cui Xi was standing beside her and nodded slightly to Princess Rui.
The imperial physician was brought back by Marquis Yongle and Earl Yongning, and even Prince Rui came along. The three of them were originally in the imperial study in the palace, but because the Marquis Yongning's Mansion had brought a sign to look for the imperial physician, they were directly reported to the empress. After the empress sent the imperial physician, she asked the eunuch to pass the message to Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng did not hide it this time, but just said, "Someone brought a sign from the Marquis Yongle's Mansion to call for the imperial physician, saying that a female member of the family was injured. After the empress knew about it, she specially sent the imperial physician."
Yongle Hou looked at Emperor Cheng with surprise, and Emperor Cheng said, "I remember that my brother's eldest daughter married the son of Yongle Hou, the second daughter married the Zheng family, and the third daughter married the Earl of Yongning."
At this time, in the imperial study, in addition to them, there were many ministers in the court. Everyone was discussing the pirates along the coast. When they saw Emperor Cheng suddenly talking about family matters, they all had some guesses in their minds.
King Rui stood up and said respectfully, "Yes."
"Oh?" Although Emperor Cheng tried to hide his emotion, his eyes still showed some emotion. He said, "In that case, you should go back with the imperial physician. He said that a female relative was injured."
Prince Rui and Marquis Yongle's faces changed. Chu Xiuming also stood up and thanked him directly, then turned around and left first. Prince Rui and Marquis Yongle also hurriedly thanked him and left with him.
Emperor Cheng sighed and said, "cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world." He shook his head as if expressing regret.
Everyone stopped talking. Although Emperor Cheng did not name anyone directly, his meaning was very clear. Although Prince Rui and Marquis Yongle had titles, they had no real power, and the Zheng family only had a reputation. That left Chu Xiuming, the Earl of Yongning. Most of those present were veteran officials, and they all felt that Emperor Cheng was being mean. However, some of those newly promoted by Emperor Cheng understood the emperor's intentions and understood his attitude towards the Earl of Yongning. They all had their own calculations in their minds.
Even if Chu Xiuming did not hear what Emperor Cheng said later, when Emperor Cheng mentioned these things in front of everyone, he had already guessed what Emperor Cheng meant, but he did not care. Although he knew that with Madam Zhao, Anping and An Ning around, the possibility of his wife being injured was very low, he could not feel at ease without having seen it with his own eyes.
At the palace gate, they met people sent by Prince Rui's Mansion and Marquis Yongle's Mansion. They explained the general situation to them. The three of them had a clear idea of what was going on, so they rushed to Marquis Yongle's Mansion with the imperial physician.
King Rui was so furious that Shen Zi actually scratched Shen Rong's face. That was her own sister. At this time, King Rui didn't know that Shen Zi had a miscarriage.
The prince of Yongle came out to meet him personally. When he saw the two doctors, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It just so happens that who is better at treating external injuries?"
"What happened?" Yongle Hou asked, "Is there anyone else injured?"
The Yongle Marquis nodded awkwardly and said, "Second sister..."
"What happened to that evil creature?" King Rui asked in a deep voice.
However, the wife of Yongle Hou came over and said, "While walking and talking, Madam Zheng is really confused. She is still young and yet... I'm afraid she can't be saved now."
King Rui gritted his teeth, his expression was extremely ferocious, "Let her die."
"Your Highness." Princess Rui also came out and happened to hear this sentence. She said in a deep voice, "Although the second girl is your daughter, she has now married into the Zheng family and is a member of the Zheng family." This was to sever the relationship.
Chu Xiuming didn't even stop and asked, "Is my wife injured?"
"Jin girl is fine." Princess Rui said, and then looked at the imperial physician, "I'll have to trouble you two more imperial physicians."
The two doctors nodded and left with the maid. Princess Rui said, "Your Highness, please wait outside for a moment."
"Okay." Prince Rui and Marquis Yongle also knew that it was inconvenient for them to go over now, so they didn't say anything else.
Chu Xiuming looked at Princess Rui, and Princess Rui said, "Xiuming, you wait outside too. I'll go in and call Jin girl out."
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Chu Xiuming said.
Princess Rui nodded, turned and walked inside. After the wife of Marquis Yongle told her son to accompany Prince Rui and the others, she also went in.
Not long after, Shen Xi came out and greeted him before saying, "Third brother-in-law, Third sister said she will be out soon."
Chu Xiuming nodded, and King Rui asked, "What happened? How did you get hurt when you came to visit?"
Shen Xi was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say. King Rui said in a deep voice, "Tell the truth."
"In fact, my son doesn't know either." Shen Xi said, "Brother, my fifth sister and I separated after we arrived. My fifth sister went to talk to my eldest sister and the others, and I stayed in the study with my brother and eldest brother-in-law."
Yongle Hou Shizi said, "Yes, I got an authentic painting a few days ago, so I invited my two brothers-in-law to the study to appreciate it."
Upon hearing this, Yongle Hou said, "I also know about this. The prince's birthday is coming soon. Yuhong has been preparing a gift for the prince during this period of time, and that original painting is it."
Shen Xi nodded, "My eldest brother-in-law also asked me and my brother whether our father would like it."
King Rui's expression eased and he said, "Don't be like this. It's enough for you and Qi'er to live happily."
The Yongle Marquis's son did not mention the matter again, but just said, "The three of us were chatting and laughing, when suddenly we heard a servant come to report that the madam had called the doctor in the mansion and asked someone to call the imperial physician, so the three of us came here in a hurry, but before we even entered the door, we heard..." The Yongle Marquis's son could not say any more about this.
Shen Xi, however, did not have so many concerns. Besides, when Shen Zi was shouting, many people heard it and it was impossible to hide it. "Second sister was shouting, saying that if she really wanted to catch flowers, she would catch Third sister Hua's face. Why would she catch her own sister?"
Prince Rui looked particularly unhappy, and glanced at Earl Yongning awkwardly. Chu Xiuming's expression did not change at all, he just narrowed his eyes and said, "Really?"
"That's what I mean." Prince Yongle coughed and said.
Shen Xi's face was not looking good either. "We just found out that the second sister deliberately made her nails sharp. For some reason, she slapped the fifth sister and scratched her face."
Yongning Bo lowered his eyes slightly. In fact, Shen Zigang was glad that it was not Shen Jin who was injured, otherwise...
Prince Rui was so angry that he couldn't speak. When the Zheng family came, he didn't give them a good look. When he saw Madam Zheng, he asked directly, "Where is Zheng Jiaqu? His wife is in trouble, and he doesn't even show up?"
Madam Zheng also hurried over. She was not angry when she heard the words. Instead, she greeted everyone and said, "Jia Qu is not feeling well and cannot go out. When he gets better, I will let him apologize to the prince."
The doctor in the room carefully examined Shen Rong's wound, frowned and said, "I'm afraid... it's not good."
Shen Qi asked, "Doctor, will it leave scars?"
The imperial physician stopped talking, his attitude said it all. Nanny Zhao stuffed the ointment into Shen Jin's hand and gently pushed her. Shen Jin then came out from the corner, "Imperial physician, will it be better if I use the snow lotus ointment?"
"If there is snow lotus ointment, it will be less severe." The imperial physician said respectfully, implying that scars will still remain.
Shen Rong couldn't hold back her tears any longer and started crying, "I won't live anymore..."
Shen Qi said, "Do your best, Imperial Physician."
The imperial physician nodded, and Shen Jin also gave the snow lotus ointment to the imperial physician. Shen Qi asked the maid to take good care of it, and then pulled Shen Jin out of the house, and saw Prince Rui and several others sitting in the hall. The atmosphere was extremely awkward. When Shen Jin saw Chu Xiuming, his eyes lit up. Chu Xiuming saw with his own eyes that Shen Jin had done nothing wrong, so he nodded slightly, but the anger in his heart did not diminish at all.
King Rui asked, "How is the wound on your sister's face?"
"The imperial physician said it's not good." Shen Qi repeated what the imperial physician said, "Thanks to my third sister who sent someone back to the mansion to get the imperial snow lotus ointment, otherwise... even so, it would only be slightly lighter, but it would still leave a scar."
Prince Rui was angry and resentful, and even more so, he felt ashamed. Shen Qi winked at her husband, and the Prince of Yongle said, "Father-in-law, I have something else to ask you."
"Go quickly." Prince Rui didn't want to see Marquis Yongle now, so he said after hearing this.
Yongle Hou and his son left the hall, and Shen Qi sent all the servants away. For a moment, only Rui Wang, Shen Xuan, Shen Xi, and Yongning Bo and his wife were left. Shen Qi was no longer polite this time and said directly, "Father, this matter today cannot be resolved peacefully."
Prince Rui looked at his daughter. Although he valued his son more, Shen Qi was his first child, so his position in his heart was naturally different. He asked, "What happened to Qi'er?"
Shen Qi's eyes turned red, and she tried to hold back her tears and said, "Father, I invited several sisters and brothers-in-law to be my guests this time. I wanted everyone to get together more and have a better relationship, but now the situation is like this... I am too embarrassed to see anyone."
King Rui quickly said, "What does this have to do with you? It's obviously their fault."
"But this is my husband's family." Shen Qi looked at King Rui and cried.
Princess Rui came over with a worried look on her face. Although Shen Qi had ordered that no one should get close to her, Princess Rui didn't care about anyone else. She came in, took a look at Shen Qi and said directly, "Don't worry, Qi'er. I'll ask your father to apologize to the Marquis Yongle and his wife in a while. I'll have someone prepare a gift and send it over when I get back."
King Rui waited for his wife to sit down before he whispered, "Do you need it?"
Princess Rui glanced at Prince Rui, who could only say, "Don't be afraid, Qi'er. Your father will go and apologize to Marquis Yongle in a moment, and he will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Shen Qi looked at King Rui with a touched expression and said, "Father."
Prince Rui felt aggrieved. He did not blame Shen Qi, but was angry at Shen Zi. He asked sternly, "What happened? The maid said it was unclear."
Chu Xiuming, who had been silent the whole time, finally said, "Actually, I also want to know why someone who is clearly my wife's sister wants to scratch my wife's face."
Prince Rui was even more embarrassed at this time. Shen Qi felt it was too difficult to speak. Princess Rui said, "It has come to this. It can't be more embarrassing." Then she looked at Shen Jin and said, "Jin girl was wronged today. Your father and I have remembered it and will definitely give you an explanation."
Shen Jin looked at Prince Rui, then looked at Princess Rui and said, "Actually, I'm not hurt."
Princess Rui sighed, "What an honest girl. She is my daughter, and I cannot let you suffer any loss. Your Majesty, I will have the imperial physician report to you in person. If it weren't for the snow lotus cream that Jin brought, Fifth Girl's face would have been even more damaged. Don't let anyone wrongly accuse Jin Girl."
"How could that be?" Prince Rui said, "Jin girl, your father knows your grievances and what you did today, don't worry."
"It's okay." Shen Jin said obediently, "Father, mother and elder sister are all very kind to me."
Chu Xiuming sighed and said, "Madam kept saying this when we were in the border town."
The atmosphere in the hall finally eased a little, and several people sat down. Shen Jin said, "Husband, go talk to your brother-in-law." The implication was that Chu Xiuming should leave as well.
Chu Xiuming glanced at Shen Jin and said, "Okay." Then he went out. He did not go to talk to the Prince of Yongle, but went to find Zhao Ma and the others who were waiting outside.
Shen Xuan said, "My brother and I..."
"Stay." Princess Rui said, "Those are your sisters. You'd better know some things."
When there were no more outsiders in the hall, Shen Qi told the whole story. The more Prince Rui listened, the angrier he became. It was Concubine Xu and Shen Zi who cried and made a scene, unwilling to marry Earl Yongning. Now they were resentful again. Princess Rui was also so angry that her face changed. She held her head and said, "It turns out that the second girl has always resented me." As she spoke, she burst into tears. "If there is any injustice in the mansion, it is the girl Jin who is really unfair. Now... the second girl actually has such thoughts. If people know about it, will the face of the mansion still be there?"
Shen Jin said, "Don't cry, mother. I'm afraid that my second sister has misunderstood."
"What misunderstanding?" Shen Qi said coldly, "She just thinks you are kindhearted and easy to bully. Think about it, she actually had a fight with her second brother-in-law on the road yesterday, which was embarrassing. If she didn't have other thoughts, why would she go out today?"
Shen Jin lowered his head and said nothing. Shen Qi said coldly, "And yesterday's fourth sister, father is the third sister who didn't care today, and even helped to cover it up. If Earl Yongning knew about the second sister's remarks, what would he think of our Ruiwang Mansion, and what would he think of the third sister?"
Princess Rui wiped her tears and said, "This is simply making enemies. Jin girl managed to survive the situation in the border town with great difficulty. Now she has only had a few days of good life. Although I kept Jin girl by my side in the mansion, I can't say that I favor her. The second girl and the others always put Jin girl above her in everything. Even Jin girl's marriage, the prince knows it very well. The Zheng family was chosen by Concubine Xu and the second girl themselves. How come we are the ones who want to harm them now?"
"Father, I don't want to interfere in the sisters' affairs. After all, they will get married sooner or later, and it is only right for them to live more comfortably at home." Shen Xuan spoke at this time, "But... I have also seen it happen a few times that the things mother gave to the third sister ended up with the second and fourth sisters."
Shen Xi also said, "I saw it once. The fourth sister said that she liked the third sister's kingfisher hairpin very much. But the third sister also liked it very much and said that it was from Concubine Chen's dowry. The fourth sister even ridiculed her."
King Rui frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I told you not to say it." Princess Rui said, "What can you do if you get involved in their affairs? Isn't it just to let Jin give the things to the fourth girl?"
King Rui was stunned by what he said and didn't know how to refute.
Shen Jin said, "Father, that kingfisher hairpin is mother's favorite, so I can't give it to my fourth sister. The rest don't matter. Besides, mother and elder sister will secretly give it to me, and even my elder brother and younger brother will bring things for me."
Shen Xuan did not deny it, but just said, "I usually receive a lot of sachets and fan bags from my third sister."
Shen Xi also laughed and said, "But every time I take it out, my classmates always laugh at me because the things embroidered on it are too round."
Prince Rui also thought of what Shen Jin had made for him, and his eyes softened as he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't even notice it."
"Father is a man who can accomplish great things." Shen Jin said with a smile, "I have my mother to take care of me."
Prince Rui looked at Princess Rui and said, "It was my fault at the beginning."
Princess Rui just sighed and said, "Why are you talking about this now? Let's talk about it when we get back home." Then she looked at Shen Qi, "Go and pack up the fifth girl. Your Majesty, go and apologize to the Yongle Marquis and his wife. Let's go back home."
Shen Xuan said, "My brother and I will go with our father."
King Rui quickly said, "Okay," and left with his two sons.
Princess Rui looked at Shen Jin and said, "Jin girl, you should also take your son-in-law back first."
Shen Jin agreed and said, "Okay."
Princess Rui said, "Don't worry, I will never let the dirty water splash on you."
Shen Jin looked at Princess Rui with a confused look on her face. She almost asked directly what the relationship was with me, but she was used to listening to Princess Rui, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Princess Rui rubbed her forehead and decided not to explain too much so as not to upset Shen Jin's mood.
Shen Qi also said, "I will visit my sister's house in a few days."
"Okay." Shen Jin agreed immediately, and when he saw that Princess Rui had nothing else to do, he took his leave.
When they walked out of the door, they saw Chu Xiuming, dressed in the Earl's Mansion, standing in the courtyard. Madam Zhao and the others were beside Chu Xiuming. When Chu Xiuming saw Shen Jin, he stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up. Shen Jin smiled and walked over, put his hand in Chu Xiuming's and said, "Let's go back."
"Yeah." Chu Xiuming helped Shen Jin tidy up her hair.
Aunt Zhao had just told Chu Xiuming everything. Shen Jin took Chu Xiuming's hand and shook it a little, saying coquettishly, "Don't be angry."
Although Chu Xiuming looked calm, Shen Jin could sense that he was in a bad mood. Chu Xiuming lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his wife, and said, "What if you are the one who gets hurt?"
Shen Jin felt sweet in her heart, sweeter than the dragon beard cakes made by Aunt Zhao. She waved and waited for Chu Xiuming to bend down before she tiptoed into his ear and whispered, "Actually, I think Second Sister may not have meant it."
"Hmm?" The two were very close, Chu Xiuming could even smell the fragrance on Shen Jin's body. He put his arm around Shen Jin's waist so that Shen Jin wouldn't have to work so hard.
Shen Jin said, "Really, I don't think my second sister is that brave. She may want to hurt me, but she definitely doesn't dare to do it. I'm afraid that my fifth sister might hurt me by mistake this time, but I didn't say it." She said with a little bit of coquettishness at the end, "I don't like my second sister, so I don't want to speak for her."
Chu Xiuming responded, and waited until Shen Jin finished speaking and left without letting go. He held her soft body in his arms, then slowly walked out without saying a word.
Shen Jin said coquettishly, "Don't be angry."
Chu Xiuming stopped, lifted Shen Jin up and let her sit on his arms. Shen Jin swung her feet, and her emerald embroidered shoes were faintly visible as her skirt swayed. The servants in Yongle Marquis' Mansion were so frightened that they were stunned. There was even a maid holding a basin, who dropped it directly to the ground.
Shen Jin felt that his skin had become thicker. Not only did he not feel embarrassed at this moment, he also felt particularly safe and happy.
Seeing that Shen Jin liked it, Chu Xiuming deliberately tossed it up and down to make Shen Jin happier. Although Shen Jin did not show what happened today, Chu Xiuming felt that Shen Jin felt a little uncomfortable. After all, those were her relatives, so he coaxed her at this time, just hoping that his little lady would smile every day.
Shen Jin didn't feel scared at all, he laughed, and the jade bracelets on his wrists collided with each other, making crisp sounds.
Nanny Zhao's eyes finally softened a little, and Anping and Anning also looked at the general and his wife with a smile.
"Shame on you."
Suddenly, a stern female voice came from behind, interrupting the atmosphere between the few people. Chu Xiuming stopped and turned around to look. Shen Jin saw a pale-faced Shen Zi wrapped in a cloak, being supported by two servants. In front of her stood a middle-aged woman with a serious face, and it was she who was speaking.
"Do I know you guys?" Shen Jin looked at her and asked.
The middle-aged woman did not think she was wrong. "In public, do you guys have any sense of shame?"
"Are you going to teach us?" Chu Xiuming finally spoke. His eyes were cold and sarcasm-filled as he glanced at Shen Zi, and saw Shen Zi's body shaking.
Another beautiful middle-aged woman came out and asked when she saw everyone blocking the door, "What happened?" The person who spoke was Zheng Jiaqu's mother, Shen Zi's mother-in-law. Compared with the serious-looking woman, she looked a lot gentler.
Seeing Shen Zi's look, Shen Jin said, "You should send Second Sister back quickly."
Madam Zheng learned what happened from the maid. She took a deep breath. She glanced at her sister-in-law and felt a headache. She quickly said, "It was just a misunderstanding."
"Mrs. Zheng?" Chu Xiuming's eyes fell on the woman who came out later, and he said, "You'd better remember what I said today. If anyone from your Zheng family hurts my wife in the future, I will cut off one of your son's limbs. You can go back and count how many sons you have and how many chances you have."
The Zheng family's young aunt already knew who the person in front of her was. When she heard Chu Xiuming's arrogant words, she became angry and said, "This is the emperor's feet. This is not a place where you can be so presumptuous."
"Heh." Chu Xiuming glanced at the Zheng family and said nothing more.
Madam Zheng said quickly, "Lord Yongning, we are all relatives... Madam, I know that what happened today made you..."
"Mrs. Zheng, don't be anxious." Shen Jin's voice was soft and gentle, with a soft and sticky tone, "My husband knows his limits."
If she had sense, she would cut off her son's hands and feet. But what if she had no sense? Mrs. Zheng almost fainted.
Shen Zi looked at Shen Jin with hatred in his eyes, his face twisted, "Shen Jin, don't be so complacent..."
"If I hear you, the Zheng family, say something unpleasant about my wife, or if you make her angry," Chu Xiuming spoke again. His face was calm, but his voice was chilling, and even made people feel murderous. "It will be the same."
Before Shen Zi could speak again, Madam Zheng could no longer maintain her composure and shouted, "Cover her mouth."
Shen Jin was still sitting in Chu Xiuming's arms and said, "My husband, I'm hungry and want to go back."
"Yeah." Chu Xiuming responded, and the coldness and murderous intent just now disappeared all at once.
Shen Jin turned her head and looked at Shen Zi, then sighed and swung her feet, occasionally kicking Chu Xiuming, and said, "Husband, I want to eat the barbecue you made."
"Okay." Chu Xiuming agreed immediately.
Nanny Zhao looked at the people from the Zheng family, sneered, and said, "You'd better remember what my young master said. Except to the lady, he always keeps his word." After saying that, they left together.
Princess Rui also came out. Behind her, the maids and servants surrounded a woman wearing a veil. They had just heard Chu Xiuming's words. Shen Qi said mercilessly, "Some people are too self-righteous. They always want to interfere in other people's affairs. Now they have stretched their claws too far and got chopped off."
These words made the Zheng family's young lady's face change again and again in anger, but Mrs. Zheng had experience and asked the capable maidservant beside her to hold her back and not let her speak.
At this time, Madam Zheng didn't care about Shen Zi's body at all. She just said, "My dear, I'm afraid that Earl Yongning has misunderstood us. Please..."
"The Zheng family's affairs will have nothing to do with the Rui Palace from now on." Princess Rui said calmly, "I will no longer interfere in Shen Zi's affairs. If you really want something, go ask Shen Zi's biological mother." After that, she left with her people.
Only after they got on the carriage did Chu Xiuming let Shen Jin down from his arms. The prince of Yongle Marquis came to see him off personally, because it was no secret that Chu Xiuming was holding Shen Jin. In order to avoid embarrassment, he deliberately chose this time. After the two talked for a few words, Chu Xiuming jumped onto the carriage with one hand.
After Nanny Zhao and the others got on the carriage at the back, the carriage started to leave the Yongle Marquis' Mansion and head towards the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.
