After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

Later, she seemed to have hugged him...

It must be a scene from a dream.

Shen Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked how she could be so reckless! Since it was just a dream, it was nothing.

She felt relieved and stretched out a big yawn.

"What time is it now?"

"Miss, it's almost noon."

Chun Xing replied, "I heard from the shopkeeper of Zuixinlou that you ate some cakes yesterday. You must be starving now! I have prepared some food for you. Please fill your stomach first."

Shen Nanxing nodded and let Chun Xing help him up.

There's still time.

In the previous life, in order to avoid attracting attention, her scumbag father arranged this marriage to be held at night, and only invited some relatives from the clan to attend.

She will go to the Prince's residence soon; she just needs to stop it before nightfall.

Xiao Tao was anxious: "Miss, why don't you go see Prince Jing first! Prince Jing has been waiting for you for two hours. You can have lunch with Prince Jing later."

"Xiao Tao!" Chun Xing said sternly, "Miss is hungry."

Xiao Tao lowered her head in grievance: "I'm sorry, Miss, I just..."

Shen Nanxing comforted her, "Xiao Tao, I know you're doing this for my own good. How about this, you go tell Prince Jing, I'll go see him after dinner."

"Okay, miss." Xiao Tao immediately smiled, turned around and walked out with light steps.

For a moment, only Shen Nanxing and Chun Xing were left in the room.

As Shen Nanxing ate his lean meat porridge, he asked, "Chun Xing, do you have something to tell me?"

Chun Xing nodded, frowning slightly. "Miss, the man from Xinlan Garden was indeed given thirty lashes yesterday, but I suspect it wasn't Prince Jing's idea."

"Yesterday, I saw Prince Jing coming back on horseback. He rode his horse straight into the palace and went straight to Xinlan Garden. He looked very anxious. I thought, Prince Jing wouldn't be in a hurry to go back and beat her..."

"This servant suspects that Prince Jing knew the woman was going to be beaten and rushed back to protect her... but he couldn't..."

Chun Xing lowered her head as she spoke, clutching the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands: "Miss, this servant did not intend to discredit Prince Jing. I am just worried that you will be deceived..."

Shen Nanxing reached out and tapped Chunxing's forehead, smiling as he said, "You're always so thoughtful."

"You guessed correctly. The thirty lashes of the cane were ordered by His Majesty. Prince Jing was anxious to return to protect her. If he couldn't protect her, at least he could accompany her."

Shen Nanxing remembered something, raised the corners of his lips, and stars twinkled in his eyes.

Yesterday at court, His Majesty was angry with her because she asked for a letter of divorce. In addition, Prince Jing and she both pleaded for mercy, so His Majesty did not want to punish that woman.

The reason why she begged for mercy was certainly not because she was kind enough to spare the woman, but because she felt that it would be too easy for her to be sentenced to death.

After all, in her previous life, she witnessed the deaths of her grandfather, her mother, the loyal maids and servants of the Marquis of Nanyang's mansion, and the execution of her maternal grandparents' entire family...

Their tragic fates were all inextricably linked to her, their kind half-sister.

In this life, she will keep her, take revenge on her bit by bit, and make her lose everything she wants bit by bit, only then can she feel a little relieved!

Just when everyone thought the woman would go unpunished, Fu Jiuli spoke up.

He said, "Favoring a concubine over one's wife is a great taboo in the north. Prince Jing has always been reasonable, and now he has committed such a disgraceful act. It must be because he was seduced by that woman. He should be punished."

"Although the crime does not warrant death, he cannot escape punishment. I suggest Your Majesty impose thirty strokes of the cane."

The emperor found this reasonable and immediately issued an edict in court, rendering any further arguments from Prince Jing futile.

Yesterday, Shen Nanxing still felt that Fu Jiuli only raised this matter from the perspective of North Vietnamese etiquette and laws to protect the country's reputation.

Now that she had a closer look, she strongly suspected that he was venting his anger on her behalf.

Even if he was beaten with thirty sticks, he wouldn't die, but his body would be severely injured and he would have to stay in bed for several months before he could get out of bed and walk.

"Miss, you...you are not angry with me?" Chun Xing slowly raised her head, with a look of deep surprise in her eyes.

Shen Nanxing reached out and flicked her forehead: "You think so much of me and consider everything for me, why should I be angry with you?"

"But...but...didn't you forbid people from speaking ill of Prince Jing?"

Chun Xing lowered her head again, but couldn't help but secretly look up at her.

Shen Nanxing twitched his lips and spoke slowly, "There was water in my head before, but now it's all out."

"Ah?" Chun Xing was confused.

Shen Nanxing didn't explain, he just put down his bowl and chopsticks and stood up: "Let's go, let's go see Prince Jing."

In the previous life, just because Chun Xing had said bad things about Prince Jing several times, she sent Chun Xing back to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion and no longer allowed her to serve her.

Not only Chun Xing, she also became estranged from her grandfather because of this.

Because her grandfather said Prince Jing was ambitious and wanted her to be on guard, she firmly refused to believe him. After hearing his words so often, she simply stopped returning to the Nanyang Marquisate and stopped seeing him...

But later, she was framed and killed by Prince Jing. It was her grandfather and Chun Xing who dared to charge the Donglai defense line with only a few hundred people. The gap between the two sides was so huge, and they knew it was impossible to do it anyway...

completely annihilated.

......

Shen Nanxing took Chun Xing for a leisurely walk. Although it was a short distance, it took them half an hour to reach the main hall.

After all, they passed a pavilion in the middle of a lake on the way, and they sat in the pavilion to enjoy the scenery and feed the fish, which also wasted quite a bit of time.

Xiao Tao was pacing anxiously outside. When she saw the two people appear in her sight, she hurried over to greet them.

Her forehead was covered in sweat, and the ends of her hair were wet with sweat: "Miss, please come in quickly! Prince Jing has been waiting for a long, long time."

Shen Nanxing nodded and walked in.

Prince Jing and her scumbag father were sitting on either side of the main seat.

As soon as she walked in, a teacup was thrown at her face.

"Rebellious girl! Since you've already married Prince Jing, why didn't you stay in the palace and sneak back here?"

"You dare to sleep in and make Prince Jing wait for you for half a day? You have such a big face!"

Shen Nanxing turned her head and the teacup flew past her face, hit the door frame, and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Teacup fragments, tea leaves and hot water spilled all over the floor.

Shen Nanxing was stunned for a moment. His scumbag dad knows martial arts?
