Mother, I have returned to the throne.

The noise the two made on the street quickly attracted quite a few people.

Even Situ Jing came out of the jade shop and immediately came forward: "What happened?"

Seeing Xu Jie kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, Situ Jing's face showed some confusion.

Song Yuan glanced at Xu Jie coldly and said casually, "I want to pay this guy back. He actually said that it was my appearance that ruined your good thing!"

"You also said that you and he were childhood sweethearts. If not, then you two will be the ones I end up with. Tell me, how should I punish him?"

"Looking for death!" Situ Jing's face darkened. She had never had any good feelings towards Xu Jie in front of her.

Now that the other party was so arrogant, not to mention that she had become the prince's consort, she suddenly felt a little angry.

"In my opinion, we should just take him to the palace and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice!"

"That won't do. This guy spread rumors everywhere, saying that I was secretly communicating with barbarians. If I hand him over to the Ministry of Justice, wouldn't that be too easy for him?"

Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and poured another basin of dirty water on Xu Jie.

Situ Jing's face darkened and anger rose in his heart.

So it's you, kid!

At that time, the entire Zhenbei Palace was almost implicated because of the rumor that Song Yuan had secret dealings with barbarians.

Now that the mastermind had been found, Situ Jing approached without a second thought.

Snapped……

In anger, Situ Jing slapped him hard.

A red slap mark appeared on Xu Jie's face.

"Alright, alright, don't forget that our wedding is coming up soon. Using violence now will only ruin our fun. I think we should put this matter aside for now, and I'll handle it myself after the wedding!"

Seeing that if Situ Jing continued to fight, he might cripple Xu Jie in the street, Song Yuan hurried forward and grabbed the other person's hand.

After much persuasion, Situ Jing was finally persuaded to calm down.

Immediately afterwards, Song Yuan didn't even look at Xu Jie and returned to the jade shop with his men.

Such an arrangement naturally has its profound meaning.

From the very beginning, Song Yuan’s purpose was not to punish Xu Jie, but to make him realize his mistakes and at the same time, squeeze some benefits out of this guy!

Now that Xu Jie has time, he can discuss with his cheap father how to deal with the problem.

Song Yuan thought that the two of them would come to thank him. Since you are asking for mercy, you can't come empty-handed, right?

After a while.

Xu Jie returned home in a panic, knelt in front of his father and recounted the whole story.

"Father, I'm really wronged..."

"It's unfair, why don't you just die?" Xu Wang, the Left General, was so angry when he heard his son say such bold words.

"You said before that you were related to Situ Jing, but what kind of status does she have now? How can we possibly reach her?"

"You're still saying this now, aren't you just courting death? Also, I've already told you that after what happened with the horse, we shouldn't talk about it again. Do you really have to rush to get yourself killed?"

Xu Wang became more and more angry as he spoke. He walked forward and kicked Xu Jie hard in the chest.

"Master, stop fighting. Let's think about how to save our son first!"

Seeing Xu Jie rolling over several times and standing up with a distorted look on his face, the eldest lady beside him walked forward with tears in her eyes and pulled the father and son apart.

At the same time, he began to console her, "Now that the situation is settled, even if you beat him to death, there's nothing you can do to change it. Why don't you seize this opportunity and think carefully about how to make amends?"

"If our Jie'er is found guilty of the original crime, he will probably face severe punishment!"

As a woman, Mrs. Xu was exceptionally sensible and had already analyzed the situation clearly while she spoke.

Xu Wang then stamped his feet fiercely and gritted his teeth.

"What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and get up and come with me to see the Third Prince?"

As Lin Fu's subordinate, Xu Wang had always been very close to the third prince.

Now, considering that both parties are princes, the first thing they hope is that the Third Prince can come forward to rescue them.

A moment later, the father and son arrived at the Third Prince's residence with valuable gifts.

After hearing the whole story, Song Qi's face was gloomy and he was silent for a long time without saying a word.

During this process, Song Qi just stared at Xu Jie opposite him, with murderous intent in his heart, and he wanted to chop this guy to death on the spot.

All the civil and military officials in the court knew that he had a close relationship with Xu Wang, the father and son.

It is no exaggeration to say that the other party is equivalent to one's own person.

Now, Xu Jie's targeting of Song Yuan is equivalent to his own instructions in the eyes of others!

Such a burden will instantly shatter all your previous accumulations.

By relying on the method of establishing a good relationship with Song Yuan, Song Qi has finally gained a firm foothold and regained the appreciation of Song Youji.

How could I allow someone to drag me down at a critical moment?

"Your Highness, I hope you can take responsibility for the two of us and uphold justice for us. Xu Jie really wasn't the one who left that message. It was simply a frame-up by the Crown Prince!"

Seeing that Song Qi didn't respond for a long time, Xu Wang, as a father, couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

He immediately stood up, bowed and spoke, but he didn't expect that the moment he finished speaking, the third prince roared angrily.

"idiot!"

"If you say it's not, then it's not?"

Just like last time, when the Third Prince tried to frame Song Yuan, I put a piece of shit in your trouser pocket, and you said it wasn't you, but who would believe you?

If you cannot prove your innocence and produce favorable evidence, you will only become a scapegoat!

Now Song Yuan used the same trick on him, and even the third prince felt a little headache for a moment.

After hesitating for a long time, Song Qi waved to the servants in the mansion with some helplessness.

"Come here, take Master Xu away and give him 50 lashes!"

"Your Highness, why is this happening?" Xu Wang, who was standing by, panicked when he heard the order.

I came to the Third Prince to beg for mercy, but in the end, he was the one who punished me?

This guy, I am loyal to him on weekdays, is he going to kick me when I’m down at the critical moment?

"What do you know? This is called a self-torture tactic!"

Song Qi explained seriously, "Your son's crime cannot be cleared. Instead of letting others punish him, it's better to punish him severely yourself first!"

"That way, the boss, seeing his miserable appearance, won't pursue the matter. Also, I warn you, don't mention the horse again after this!"

"Don't risk yourself for a mere horse!"

Song Qi naturally knew Song Yuan's character. This guy was a ruthless person. Once something fell into his hands, how could he take it back?

If the Xu family father and son do not know how to make choices, they will definitely be fooled by Song Yuan.

My previous self was the best example. The experiences of this father and son were already good!
