After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

After hearing this, Qin, who was originally feeling proud, felt a chill in her heart.

Yes, if she was really divorced by this peasant, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous?

Maybe I'm out of my mind, which is why I'd think it'd be nice to be divorced.

Qin shook her head. No, no, if this word got out, even if she crawled out of this mud pit, she would not have the face to appear in front of everyone again.

Not to mention, with such an embarrassing reputation, her children have no future at all.

Neither this nor that is acceptable. The more Qin thought about it, the angrier she became.

He was too lazy to care about Xu Jinran's life or death. He called a maid to come in and take care of him, then left without looking back, waving his handkerchief.

…………

Three days later, the emperor held a banquet to welcome the soldiers who had made great contributions.

Banquets like this are usually attended by all the important masters in the family.

The Ning Wang Mansion had originally invited Xu Qinghe and his family to go together, but because Cui had a very serious patient who needed treatment and could not leave, and Xu Qinghe did not want to go to such a crowded place, he politely declined.

The couple could have stayed away from going as they had things to do, but the old princess sent someone to pick up Yuxiu.

"My little girl has grown up, it's good for her to go out and see the world more. Besides, the third branch has already acknowledged its ancestral roots. If we really don't attend such occasions, outsiders who don't know will think that we don't value your third branch..."

Yuxiu had only seen palace banquets on TV in her previous life, so she thought about going and seeing them.

It just so happened that Princess Ning had prepared a lot of clothes and jewelry for her, which came in handy this time.

Seeing Yuxiu dressed up in gorgeous attire, both Xu Yunzhe and his brother were dazzled.

When she was at the border, Yuxiu always dressed in men's clothes, and she also deliberately thickened her eyebrows to cover it up, giving her a bold and daring look.

After returning to the capital, she had changed back into her girlish attire, but she was just wearing ordinary clothes, and the only jewelry she wore was two pearl hairpins. Although she looked outstanding, she was not very eye-catching.

But looking at her today, this little girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and her words and actions are very calm and composed. She doesn't look like someone who has lived in the countryside for many years. She is not inferior to those ladies who have been carefully trained by aristocratic families.

"It's getting late, let's get in the carriage first."

Seeing that everyone was ready, Xu Jinren glanced at Yuxiu, frowned slightly, and felt a little annoyed.

I have been so busy reminiscing about the past few days that I forgot to tell my family about the Seventh Prince.

But now we are ready, there is no reason to go back.

He had something on his mind, and he was worried even while sitting in the carriage, and his mood was not very good.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing that the man in front of her was a little absent-minded, Princess Ning gently held Xu Jinren's hand, feeling a little uneasy.

"I see you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"

When Xu Jinren came back, he had already told her what happened before. She heard that he was trapped in Beidi and couldn't even get up for such a long time. She also knew how serious the injuries he had suffered at that time.

"I'm fine, I just thought of something and forgot to tell you."

Xu Jinren thought about it and decided to tell his wife about this.

"Don't worry, that girl is already a capable person. Besides, not only does her mother have a very capable doctor as her master, but she herself also has a very mysterious master as her master. If she doesn't agree, no one can force her..."

After hearing the man's worries, Princess Ning couldn't help but shook her head.

According to her careful observations these days, the girl from the third room is not a vegetarian.

It would be fine if the Seventh Prince was sensible, but if he really dares to set his sights on her, he will probably end up in trouble.

Besides, isn’t there my aunt watching over me?

Make sure to keep her under close supervision and don't allow her to have any contact with those messy people.

"Do you think things can be that simple?"

Xu Jinren looked at Princess Ning steadily. No matter how smart a woman is, she will still take some things for granted.

"You know, the royal family of Beidi hates me to the core. If they can marry a girl from our family, it will not only help them vent their anger, but also make us cautious and not take it too seriously..."

He analyzed the current situation carefully, and the more Princess Ning listened, the paler her face became.

"Then... stop the car quickly and let the child go back first..."

At this moment, she felt like her mind was a mess. The usually rational woman couldn't think of any good solution. She just wanted to send the person back quickly and not bring him in front of those people.

"It's useless. If that person really had such intentions, he would have figured out our relationship long ago."

Seeing his wife getting anxious, Xu Jinren patted her hand and comforted her:

"Don't even mention that the girls of Prince Ning's Mansion don't need to be sneaky. Even if we hide now, we can't escape from these troubles."

As long as they bring it up directly during the peace talks, no matter whether it is the emperor or the civil and military officials, none of them will give up because of this matter.

Anyway, she is not their own girl, and they won’t feel any pain unless the knife cuts their own flesh.

This is also the cunning of the Northern Di people. Because a princess had died tragically in a previous marriage, they were afraid of causing opposition from the royal family, so they turned their attention to the mansions of court officials.

"So if you put it this way, you'll get hit if you stick your head out, and you'll get hit if you shrink your head, so how come you can't dodge it?"

Princess Ning's face looked somewhat solemn. It is said that serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. If the emperor wants his subjects to die, the subjects dare not live alone.

If the emperor issued an imperial decree, it would be a done deal and there would be no room for maneuver.

The couple looked at each other, both very worried.

Prince Ning's Mansion was not far from the Imperial Palace. In just the time it took to say a few words, the carriage had already stopped steadily at the palace gate.

It was very lively here at this time, with carriages coming in one after another.

The ladies from various families got off the cars, and whether they were familiar with each other or not, they began to greet each other.

Anyway, the more courtesy you give, the less blame you will get, and you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you.

When Yuxiu helped the old princess get off the carriage, Princess Ning was already waiting beside the carriage with the second lady and Xu Lewan.

"This is your first time attending a banquet like this, girl. Don't wander around. Just stay by your grandmother's side and serve her."

There were so many people here that it was difficult for Princess Ning to say much. She forced a smile at Yuxiu, then looked at Xu Lewan on the side and said,

"Your sister may not understand the rules of the palace. As her elder sister, you will have to work harder today. Try to accompany her as much as possible and do not offend the nobles in the palace."
