Zhou Mu heard that his daughter had a conflict with Her Royal Highness the Princess on the street and was taken to the palace. He was anxious and wanted to go into the palace to ask.
I saw Lin Feng, the imperial guard beside Xiao Chongjun, dragging an injured man to the house.
Looking at this posture, he couldn't help but feel a little confused, and saw Lin Feng clasping his fists and saluting: "General Zhou, the Crown Prince Chu was drunk and immoral, and he offended Miss Zhou. After His Majesty found out about this, he fined the Crown Prince Chu thirty times and ordered that he be punished.
The Prince of Chu is handed over to General Zhou."
With that said, people put Chu Heng down who was covered in blood, and then led them away.
Zhou Mu looked confused. What was going on? Didn't it mean that his daughter had offended the princess? Why was Chu Heng beaten?
Fortunately, Chu Heng was still conscious. Zhou Mu asked, "What on earth is going on?"
Chu Heng's back hurt so much that he thought His Majesty was just pretending, but he didn't expect that it was actually a real beating.
You don't need to think about it to know that it must be Yuan Chen who is causing trouble and avenging private revenge.
I thought that he, the loyal and brave heir apparent of the Marquis Mansion, had lost all his face by being carried back.
Chu Heng opened his mouth and was about to explain, when he heard a voice coming from behind: "Dad, I'm back."
When Zhou Jingyi entered the house, she saw Chu Heng with blood on his back. She was startled and was about to ask him about his situation, but when she thought of Xiao Jialan's instructions, she held back.
She walked over pretending to be indifferent.
Zhou Mu said hurriedly: "Jingyi, what is going on? His Majesty just sent someone to bring the Prince of Chu here. Did he say that he was drunk and immoral and offended you? Is this a problem?"
Zhou Jingyi said: "It happened. He was drunk and flirted with me before, but he refused to admit it afterwards. The princess and your majesty found out about it, so they punished him and sent him to you for disposal."
Zhou Mu looked stunned when he heard this and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell my father that this happened?"
Zhou Jingyi took his arm and said: "Let me tell you, your temper can't be used to put people in trouble? Don't worry, he didn't do anything to me. His Majesty has already sought justice for me and punished him heavily. Let's forget this matter."
Yes, please send the person back."
Zhou Mu scolded: "How can we just let it go?" He stared at Chu Heng and asked: "Is everything Jingyi said true?"
Chu Heng said: "It's my nephew's fault, please ask General Zhou to punish him."
Zhou Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "I'll give you two choices, either marry my daughter or die as an apology. You can choose for yourself."
Zhou Jingyi said hurriedly: "Dad, what are you doing? He is willing to marry me, but I am not willing to marry him yet. It was because I was blind that I fell in love with him.
My daughter has thought clearly that Chu Heng is not the only one in Nanyue. From today on, my daughter no longer likes him, so don't embarrass him.
You're forcing me to do this, just like your daughter can't get married."
Zhou Mu looked at his daughter with a complicated expression. How could he not know what his daughter was thinking? How could she really let go of this person she had liked for so many years?
He also understood Chu Heng's temperament, and he was never a person willing to be coerced.
What an injustice to these two!
Zhou Mu sighed, waved his hand and said, "Come here, send Chu Heng back. He will not be welcome in our General's Mansion from now on!"
As he spoke, he gently patted Zhou Jingyi's hand and said, "Dad, I'll find a better man for you."
Zhou Jingyi's eyes heated up, she nodded and said: "Yes."
Chu Heng raised his head and looked at Zhou Jingyi, who happened to be looking at him as well. She said calmly: "Prince Chu, you and I will have nothing to do with each other from now on. We will have nothing to do with each other anymore. You are free!"
After saying these words, she withdrew her gaze and left with Zhou Mu.
Chu Heng looked at her walking back, feeling a little flustered for no reason.
This girl has been chasing him for five years, and she can't get rid of him. She said she didn't owe him anything and had nothing to do with him. It was probably just a moment of anger.
