My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

The skin and flesh trembled, and the man lying on the ground groaned and slowly woke up.

His brows were slightly furrowed, and it was obvious that the wound was very painful from the sting of the wine, but his tone was still gentle, "Madam, if you are still not satisfied, just ask the servants to bring salt, pepper, and wedding wine to vent your anger."

The sentence was said in a disjointed manner, and at the end, he said, "I haven't drunk with you yet, so don't waste it."

Su Muxi was filled with hatred and almost laughed out of anger at his words.

What on earth did she like in her previous life?

She picked up the wine jug on the table and poured another glass. "I was alone in the bridal chamber last night, thinking a lot. I was afraid that you would be in danger, and that you didn't like me. But I never thought that you had someone you loved."

As soon as she finished speaking, the man on the couch turned around and tried to hold her hand. "Madam, this is really a misunderstanding between the two brothers. Prince Jin is my cousin. I just went to help her deal with the evil slave who bullied her last night."

She had heard these words in her previous life. After he finished explaining, not only was she not angry, she also consummated her marriage with him in broad daylight and even missed the return banquet.

She snorted coldly, dodged the hand, and poured the wine in the glass onto the exposed wound again.

He fell back onto the bed with a groan and said, "Madam, spare my life."

She was really too lazy to be alone with him, and she was so afraid that she wanted to strangle him to death right now.

"Don't bother me anymore. I'll be more careful." He opened the bottle of wound medicine and sprinkled the medicine on casually.

"Don't meet him again. I'm unhappy." She said it aggrievedly, but she didn't spread the medicine evenly and bandaged him randomly.

She kept saying the same sweet words from her previous life, but she used a little more strength in her hands. After some manipulations, she really hurt him so much that he couldn't speak anymore.

Seeing him dying on the bed, she finally felt relieved, threw the medicine bottle on the table, turned around and walked out of the room.

She was going to choose the gifts for tomorrow's return visit. She couldn't wait to see her father, mother and two brothers again.

It wasn't until the footsteps disappeared that Xiao Yunjin on the bed opened his eyes. When he thought about how she had just said soft words while being ruthless, he found it very interesting.

He smiled playfully and raised his hand to knock on the bed.

A figure flashed in and hid in the corner quietly, "Master."

"Has the matter of the palace been dealt with?"

"Master, rest assured, no news will get out. But how should the Su brothers deal with it?"

"They don't know the inside story. I will handle this matter myself. From now on, these small matters will be handled by Cang Shu. There is no need to report them."

The man in black obviously hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

Xiao Yunjin saw it but did not explain. He was very disgusted with the kind of person who hooked up with her husband's cousin after her husband died.

Not at all. That woman was also his wife, the dead husband was him, and the one he had an affair with was also him.

"Send someone to follow Madam, and report any news immediately."

The man in black knew which lady he was talking about and nodded in agreement.

"Find someone with good skills and don't let yourself be discovered." He raised his hand, signaling the other party to retreat.

The man in black wanted to ask if the wound needed treatment, but seeing that his master seemed to be enjoying it, he quietly retreated.

Probably because she was always keeping an eye on the news in her courtyard and knew that she was preparing the return gift, Old Madam He had someone send a gift invitation and said that it would be paid by Zhong Gong and she didn't have to pay for it herself.

Su Muxi accepted all the items and after counting them, it was just after noon. She had people load the things onto the carriage and then got on the horse.

In this way, they returned to the Duke's Mansion in a grand manner, carrying several carts of gifts.

Since a prince can have a tryst with someone on his wedding night, it is understandable that she would be upset and return to her parents' home.

When he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he threw the whip to the servant and trotted all the way to the main courtyard.

"Dad, mom, my daughter is back."

The sound came before the people arrived. Several people who were discussing something in the hall stood up at the same time when they heard the sound.

At this time, Su Muxi had already entered the lobby. Seeing the whole family gathered together, she could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into her father's arms and burst into tears.

"Father......"

The old Duke was shocked by this. His daughter had ignored him for a long time because he did not agree with the marriage. He hurriedly hugged his daughter and said, "What's wrong? You are angry with the stubborn old man Yong'an. Don't be afraid, Daddy will help you vent your anger."

Su Muxi couldn't help but listen to this long-lost concern, and said with a choked voice: "I didn't embarrass you, I had him beaten with 80 military sticks to set an example."

The two brothers, who had picked up weapons to beat their sister when they saw her coming back crying, stopped at the same time and looked at each other, shock written in their eyes. Eighty military sticks, at the very least, would have torn her skin and flesh, and her buttocks would have been damaged, not to mention her brother-in-law, a weak scholar. Wasn't the sister afraid that her lifelong happiness would be ruined?

The Duke naturally breathed a sigh of relief. He patted his daughter on the back and pulled her up. He wanted to scold her, but seeing her red and swollen eyes, he couldn't open his mouth. This woman had fought with him on the battlefield since she was a child. She was braver than his two brothers. When had she ever cried?

He had already investigated what happened yesterday. On the surface, it was a wicked slave who bullied his master and attempted to persecute the princess, but in reality, the princess was assassinated. After all, they were relatives, and it was only right for him to help them when they were in trouble. But his mistake was that he did not return home all night on the wedding day, embarrassing his daughter, and was caught red-handed by his brother-in-law.

He explained to his daughter what happened last night, then patted her on the shoulder, "Alright, alright, stop crying. Since you've already been punished, let's forget about it! Don't mention it again."

Su Muxi looked at her much younger father, and did not refute his words, nor did she tell him the truth. She nodded randomly and threw herself into her mother's arms, "Mom, I miss you."

The Duke's wife looked at her tearful daughter and felt so distressed, "My dear, you have been wronged."

Su Muxi had adjusted herself by now, and raised her head from her mother's arms, "Where's my sister-in-law? Where's my nephew?"

The Duke of Zhenguo looked at his two younger sons who were about to run away and said, "It was your two elder brothers who did something stupid. They were afraid that something might happen to the family, so they sent their trusted men to take them out of the city to seek refuge overnight."

Sent out of the city, sent out of the city, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck her head, and she remembered something.

In her previous life, she did not return to her parents' home. When she returned to the Duke's Mansion again, it was to attend her nephew's funeral. Because of her, the Duke's young grandson was killed when he was away. Her sister-in-law was heartbroken and died by hitting her head against the coffin in front of her on the day she returned home.

She broke out in a cold sweat. After being reborn, she was so sad that she even forgot about this important event. She stood up suddenly and dragged her two brothers with her before leaving, leaving only one sentence, "I'm going to pick up my sister-in-law."
