Upon hearing this, Jiang, who had been crying, immediately shut her mouth.

Reporting it to the authorities is absolutely out of the question!

If the matter is reported to the authorities, Yuanwu will be accused of attempted murder and seducing his sister-in-law. How can he expect to find a good marriage in the future?

His whole life is ruined!

"Alright." Grand Tutor Ruan slammed his hand on the table, and everyone fell silent.

“Yuanwu framed his own brothers. This is absolutely unacceptable in the Ruan family. If you can’t bear it, then move out with him so you won’t have to be reluctant to leave.”

"What?" The second master of the Ruan family was dumbfounded, unable to believe that if they did not agree, his father would drive their entire branch of the family out!

“You all know how serious the situation would be if this got out. For the sake of us being family, we won’t publicize it, as a way of saving face for you.”

Grand Tutor Ruan's face was gloomy. If this matter were to spread, the Ruan family's reputation over the years would be ruined!

The second wife fell silent, and Ruan Yuanwu's face turned ashen. His plan was almost completed, but it was ruined at this critical moment!

……

For the next few days, Song Ruozhen stayed at the Prince's Mansion and had a very pleasant time.

Not to mention that the room was decorated according to her preferences, Chu Junting would provide her with anything she wanted as soon as possible.

She also liked the swing set in the yard. Since Chu Junting had to go to court, she had breakfast in the yard in the morning, basking in the sun and flipping through the account books, which made her feel better.

However, after marrying Chu Junting, he handed over all his shops, farmland, and land deeds to her.

She already knew that the Chu Prince's family was very wealthy, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she found that it was even more wealthy than she had imagined.

As a princess and the matriarch of the household, she naturally had to be aware of these things, so she spent the next few days taking a look at them whenever she had time, and that's how she came to understand them.

"Your Highness, not to mention all the account books to look at, just finding out exactly where these farm properties and shops are will take a lot of time. You have to personally inspect the shops, isn't that too tiring?"

Looking at the thick stack of account books on the table, Chenxiang felt that not everyone could be a young lady. There were so many things; just looking at them made her dizzy.

Song Ruozhen chuckled, "Anyway, we're just idling around. This is all income, and who wouldn't like money?"

The Prince's mansion has stewards and accountants, so she doesn't need to worry about every little detail. However, she still needs to have a general idea of ​​which businesses it owns, which are profitable, and which are losing money.

"That's true." Chenxiang said, unable to help but laugh.

Bai Zhi and Qing Teng, standing to the side, were all smiles. "Ordinary people would be overjoyed to have a land deed. If Chen Xiang's words got out, I don't know how many people would be furious."

"Haha, but just looking at the words in this ledger makes me dizzy. How can you possibly read it?"

Bai Zhi and Qing Teng exchanged a glance. They were both literate, but they preferred practicing martial arts to reading account books.

When Chu Junting returned, this was the scene he saw.

He had never imagined that one day he would feel this longing to return to the palace.

His beloved girl was waiting for him to return to the mansion.

When you're alone, you don't think these things matter at all, but after experiencing them firsthand, you realize that it's a completely different feeling, a special sense of belonging that you've never had before.

"My lord, you are back."

Song Ruozhen put down the ledger in her hand and walked forward with a smile.

Chu Junting's eyes were filled with tenderness. All the trivial troubles seemed to disappear the moment he saw her. Seeing her was the happiest time of his life.

"You can look at these ledgers if you want, or not if you don't. Don't tire yourself out," Chu Junting said with concern.

Song Ruozhen shook her head, "I'm not tired. I used to look at the accounts all the time when I was in the mansion, so I'm used to it."

Chu Junting took out the red bean cakes he had specially bought on his way back and handed them to him, saying, "I know you like them, so I bought them on my way back. Keep them while they're hot."

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up. She usually liked to eat red bean-based foods, and she especially loved the soft and sweet red bean cakes that were fresh out of the oven.

"You didn't pass by this shop on your way back, did you deliberately take a detour to buy it?"

"I was thinking you hadn't eaten for two days and would probably want some today, so I went and bought some," Chu Junting said with a light laugh.

Seeing this scene, Chenxiang and the others smiled broadly. They were all overjoyed to see the prince and princess getting along so well.

Chenxiang always knew that the prince was good to his young lady, while Baizhi and Qingteng thought back to when they were practicing martial arts. Everyone said that the prince was very strict and ruthless, but since they were chosen to follow the princess, they felt that the prince was completely different from the previous rumors!

Seeing how well the prince and princess get along, they feel incredibly lucky to have been chosen to be the princess's maids.

Listening to Chu Junting's words, Song Ruozhen felt as if she had eaten honey. How could she not be happy that someone cared about her so much and knew her tastes and preferences?

The two walked into the house with smiles on their faces, while Chenxiang and the others exchanged a knowing glance, hoping that the prince and princess's relationship would continue to be good.

After entering the house, Chu Junting put his arm around Song Ruozhen's waist and kissed her lips.

Song Ruozhen was slightly taken aback. Her hands instinctively tugged at the man's clothes, but when she realized that the man's kiss was not just a fleeting one, she slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and responded to his kiss.

Seeing the man suddenly lift her up in his arms and wrap her legs around his strong waist, Song Ruozhen's cheeks flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but say:

"It's broad daylight!"

Looking at the woman's blushing and shy cheeks, a smile flashed in Chu Junting's eyes.

"What happened during the day?"

Song Ruozhen glanced at him with dissatisfaction, but her seductive look was not convincing at all. It didn't seem like she was angry at all, but rather like she was being coquettish. His heart was full of her.

He sat down on the bed, holding the woman in his arms, and gently kissed her red lips, saying:

"I was planning to take you sightseeing after we got married, but now that we've already had our homecoming, I've asked my father for leave today. Where would you like to go?"

Song Ruozhen's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Of course." Chu Junting nodded. He had heard Zhen'er say before that she was busy with various things in the capital and really wanted to go out and travel.

He was thinking that after they got married, he would take her to travel around, and now was undoubtedly a good time.

"Now that the weather is warmer, you don't need to wear heavy clothes when you go out, so you can go wherever you want."

Song Ruozhen thought about it and realized that she did want to travel around. Since she had come all this way, it would be a waste not to explore the beautiful ancient landscape.

"Why don't we go to Yangzhou?"
