Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Dugu Jingyao wondered if she had acted beyond her capabilities in this life. But there was nothing she could do. It had already come to this, and she hadn't expected herself to act impulsively. Since that was the case, she could only continue. So, she asked, "How about this, Grandfather An, Second Uncle, have you decided which punishment would be best?"

An Aoxuan glanced at Dugu Yan, but Dugu Yan didn't even look at him, leaving him helpless. He thought: These two people are really worrying! He could only bite the bullet and ask tentatively: "Why don't we just pray for blessings?" Dugu Jingyao knew he would choose this option. After all, it was already a light punishment. Dugu Jingyao nodded and said, "Of course, didn't I say you can choose for yourselves?" An Aoxuan still wanted to fight for it, so he asked again: "Can it be a few years less?"

Dugu Xin was about to roll his eyes at him, and Dugu Jingyao almost laughed out loud, but he managed to hold it in. "Grandfather An, I just said that my Qin Liangdi, the only one who showed remorse, and the accomplice who was threatened, was stripped of his housekeeper rights. Pray for 7 or 8 years. For Aunt, 10 years is not too much, right? If you ask me, I'm a little regretful about suggesting that my cousin be adopted!"

Upon hearing this, An Jialan made a little sound, but because of the acupuncture points, she couldn't speak. An Aoxuan also knew that Dugu Jingyao was threatening them, but he still wanted to fight for it. However, Dugu Xin didn't tolerate them. With a look of annoyance on his face, he signaled Xunfeng to untie An Jialan's acupuncture points.

An Jialan finally couldn't help it anymore. She crawled a few steps and rushed towards Dugu Jingyao and Dugu Xin. Xun Feng stopped her with one hand. She could only say: "No, no, as a prince and a princess, you can't go back on your word." Dugu Xin finally said: "Of course I won't go back on my word." An Jialan finally chose to compromise: "Okay, I'm willing to pray for ten years!" An Aoxuan looked at his daughter speechlessly, thinking: How impatient! I wonder if they are deliberately using this to make a fuss? There was no way. An Jialan accepted the punishment herself, and An Aoxuan couldn't say anything else. Dugu Jingyao thought: Although this aunt of hers is stupid and vicious, she is really good to the child. What a pity!

With this, the punishments for the two were finalized. An Jialan was stripped of her housekeeping duties, which were handed over to Concubine Xu. An Jialan was also ordered to pray for the Dugu family in a Buddhist temple for ten years, and was not allowed to leave. Qin Ruyi was also stripped of her housekeeping duties, which were handed over to Dugu Jingyao. She was also ordered to pray for the Dugu family in a Buddhist temple until Dugu Jingyue married, and was not allowed to leave. The matter was thus concluded.

However, this incident broke the hearts of the two children. Dugu Moyan was so ashamed that he was too embarrassed to have any contact with the Yunnan Palace for a long time. He even wrote a letter to Dugu Xin, asking them to give up the adoption. It was only Dugu Xin who called him to his house and persuaded him earnestly, asking him not to let his mother down. Dugu Moyan finally gave in. His biological brothers and sisters, Dugu Moxuan and Dugu Jinglin, were fine because they were still young. They only knew that their mother had prayed for the family and that they had not seen each other for 10 years, so they cried sadly.

Dugu Jingyue was also sad. Her mother actually hurt the sister who helped them. She felt guilty towards Dugu Jingyao. She didn't want to see Dugu Jingyao at first, but later Dugu Jingyao chose to break into her house. The two talked all night and finally opened their hearts to each other. They were inseparable again like before!

The next morning, after seeing Dugu Jingyue fall asleep, Dugu Jingyao returned to Banmengxuan. Just as she arrived at Banmengxuan and was about to have someone help her wash up, Shijian said, "Princess, there is a letter." Dugu Jingyao thought to herself that she had been checking on things at home recently and had forgotten about what was happening in Chang'an, so she asked Shijian to bring the letter and asked everyone else to leave first.
