The daughter of the emperor is reborn, and the evil prince loves her very much

Chu Ci screamed and took two steps back. In a panic, she tripped over someone's foot and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Chunhua, who was standing behind her, reached out in time and supported Chu Ci, so he did not fall to the ground.

Chu Ci stood firm and showed his hands, which were soaked in hot water, in front of everyone. His hands were red and everyone was surprised.

Chu Ci looked at everyone's feet and finally found the person she stepped on. She looked up along the person's body and saw a small and delicate face.

She didn't recognize her, and judging from her clothes, it didn't seem like she was dressed like a maid.

Chu Ci walked up to her and said, "Sorry, I stepped on your foot."

The Duke's wife finally realized what was happening. "Chu Ci, this is my daughter from my mother's family, Jin Yue. I'm here to attend your wedding. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm here to stay with you for a few days."

The Duke glanced at Jin Yue's feet, then at Chu Ci's red hands, and said, "Go ask Dai Fu to come and show it to the Crown Prince's wife."

The housekeeper didn't move. "Master, the eldest young master is getting married, and you are in a good mood. You have given many people in the family a day off. The court doctor is on leave today."

The Duke was about to say something when Chu Ci stepped forward, a faint smile on her face, unusually dignified and generous. "Duke, if that's the case, I'll find a doctor and buy some burn ointment when I get home."

The Duke could only nod and said, "Alright, you can go down first. Let the maid serve you something to eat, and then go out and buy some medicine first."

Chu Ci nodded and retreated with Chunhua.

Everyone was seated. Just as Jin Yue was about to sit down, she heard the Duke shout, "Stand up."

Chu Ci just walked to the door of the dining room, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Want to hurt her? The two steps she stepped on were at least light enough to break the skin, so that she wouldn't stretch her feet so long.

Back in the bridal chamber, Chunhua sat down and half-knelt beside Chuci, looking at the raised hands. Tears streamed down her face. "Master, why are you so careless? Look at how burned you are. They're all red."

Chunhua looked at her master's hands with heartache. Her master had been wronged since she was a child. For some reason, the master and the mistress had never liked her since she was a child. The life she had lived since she was a child was not even as good as that of the maidservant beside the second young lady.

It is common to not have hot meals and not have thick clothes in winter.

Chu Ci patted Chunhua's shoulder and said, "Okay, it's nothing serious. I, your master, did this on purpose. Have you packed your things? Let's leave quickly and don't forget anything."

Chunhua wiped her tears and nodded solemnly, "Master, don't worry. The things we brought are few and we haven't opened them yet. I've checked them once, and we can just pick out the important ones and take them all away."

Chu Ci nodded, and before they could react, "Let's go!"

After getting on the carriage, Chu Ci told the driver outside, "Go to Huichun Hall."

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, Chunhua saw that there was no one around. She lowered the door curtain and asked softly, "Master, your hand is just burned red. Do we still need to go to Huichun Hall? Huichun Hall is very busy right now, and there are many people."

Chu Ci sneered, "I just want a lot of people, otherwise why do you think I took so many detours?"

Chunhua didn't understand, but she knew that everything her master said was right, and she had to do what her master asked her to do.

When the carriage arrived in front of Huichun Hall, she lifted the door curtain and got off the carriage first.

He turned around and opened the curtain again, then reached out with his other hand to support Chu Ci's arm. "Master, please go slowly and be careful. You are still injured."

The area around was full of common people who came to see a doctor and people from the mansions of officials and gentry.

Yesterday, the prince of the Duke's Mansion got married, which was a major event that shocked the entire capital, that is, Changping. Not to mention, the wedding that day was so intense and special, it was the only one like it since ancient times.

What happened on the wedding day had already spread throughout the streets and alleys of Changping.

The next day, early in the morning, the wife of the Crown Prince, whom Duke Rong had just married, appeared in front of Huichun Hall. This was already a very strange thing, but there was something even stranger: the second young lady of the Chu family actually came out alone.

Today is supposed to be the day she returns to her parents' home, so why is she coming back alone? Normally, the new son-in-law should be with her, right?

Everyone was very curious. At this time, a woman standing aside looked very shrewd. "It seems that the prince and his wife did not have their wedding night last night. Perhaps it was because of the Marquis' Mansion yesterday."

"According to the rules, if there is no bridal chamber, the husband cannot accompany Menmen."

Everyone then looked at Chu Ci in understanding. Chu Ci had kept her head down as she supported the little maidservant into Huichun Hall.

When the owner of Huichuntang heard from his apprentice that the eldest daughter of the Chu family had arrived, he was confused at first, because the young lady was not supposed to be here today.

The shopkeeper walked into the front room and saw from afar Chu Ci supporting the maid with her hands stretched out.

The shopkeeper's eyes tightened, and he walked directly to Chu Ci, "Miss Chu, what are these hands of yours?"

Chu Ci lowered his head, blinked, and secretly gave the shopkeeper a thumbs up and asked questions.

Chu Ci didn't say anything, so Chunhua explained, "My master was trying to serve tea to the Duke and his wife this morning, but someone accidentally knocked over the tea, and the master's hand was burned like this."

Everyone sighed. Didn't they even offer tea in the morning? If none of the proper formalities were performed, would this wedding still count? What would the Chu family's second daughter do?

Everyone looked at Chu Ci with understanding eyes, and in an instant, everyone around Chu Ci looked at her with sympathetic eyes.

Chu Ci sat aside, and the shopkeeper quickly found a female apprentice, took out the burn ointment, applied it to Chu Ci little by little, and finally wrapped it up completely.

His two hands were wrapped like a pair of white bear paws, which looked quite playful.

Chu Ci glanced at his hands and stood up. "Excuse me, doctor. Chunhua, give me the money."

Chunhua took out a piece of silver from her bosom and handed it to the apprentice standing aside. Chu Ci nodded to everyone and said, "Let's leave."

Chu Ci got on the carriage. As soon as the carriage started moving, the Huichun Hall behind was in an uproar. No matter whether they knew each other or not, everyone was discussing with each other.

For a time, the news that the eldest daughter of the Chu family had not consummated her wedding spread across every inch of Changping as if it had wings.

Chu Ci's carriage drove towards the Marquis' Mansion, and the people from the Marquis' Mansion stood at the gate from a distance, ready to welcome the Prince of the Duke's Mansion.

They still have to discuss the matter between Chu Xiao and him today. It would be best if their identities could be confirmed, but the specific identities still need to be discussed.
