After giving birth to twins, the princess became pregnant again, and the royal uncle took care of he

Jun Jiuxiao walked out, his smile still bright. He looked at Ye Ying, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

With a casual wave of his hand, a gold ingot streaked across the night sky and landed precisely in the Night Hawk's hand.

"This is a reward for you." Jun Jiuxiao's voice carried a hint of joke and smugness.

The nighthawk's face was full of expressions; its eyebrows were raised so high they almost flew off, its eyes were wide like searchlights, and its mouth was open wide enough to swallow the night sky.

He thought with a mixture of shock and excitement, "Could it be that his prince is so happy because they...consumed their marriage last night?"

A sly smile unconsciously crept onto his face as he began to pray for the possible little life growing inside Miss Chu's womb.

Night Hawk secretly decided that he should hurry up and prepare some little bodyguards for his young master. He could almost see his young master chasing butterflies in the mansion, with the little bodyguards following him affectionately.

As Night Hawk quickly caught up with Jun Jiuxiao, he muttered to himself, "Young Master, you'd better hurry up! Your little bodyguards are already impatient!"

His steps were light and quick, as if he could already see the future glory of the War King's Mansion.

Inside Xinghe Garden, Pearl came running breathlessly, her hurried footsteps breaking the tranquility of the courtyard.

Her anxious voice interrupted Chu Xingyao's thoughts:

"Miss, Miss, the Minister's wife is requesting an audience at the main gate. She says she's begging you to spare Yun Jin."

Chu Xingyao frowned slightly, knowing that Madam Yun's trip was definitely not well-intentioned.

She stood up, straightened her clothes, and slowly walked towards the gate of the mansion.

Chu's mother followed closely behind, her face filled with worry. A moment later, Chu Xingyao and her mother appeared together at the gate of the mansion, facing Madam Yun.

Chu Xingyao's voice was calm yet firm: "Madam Yun, what is the meaning of this?" A sly glint flashed in Madam Yun's eyes, and her voice trembled with tears:

"Please, Princess Dingyuan, spare Jin'er's life and give her the antidote."

Her words were full of pleading, yet also contained a hidden provocation.

The crowd watching nearby began to murmur amongst themselves, their voices filled with accusations and dissatisfaction towards Chu Xingyao.

"This idiot even poisoned someone; he just can't stand seeing others do well."

"What a vicious woman."

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, no one would dare to marry such a vicious woman."

Hearing these discussions, Madam Yun was secretly delighted, knowing that her plan was beginning to take effect.

Her voice was even more pitiful: "Princess, Jin'er is young and doesn't understand. You can't poison her. I'm kneeling down for you. Please spare Jin'er."

Chu Xingyao watched coldly, knowing Madam Yun's malicious intentions. She deliberately staged this scene at the mansion gate to further tarnish Madam Yun's already poor reputation.

How could Chu Xingyao let her have her way? She coldly asked, "Oh, when and where did I give her the poison? And why did I poison her?"

Madam Yun felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her daughter, Yun Jin, the once renowned beauty of the eldest daughter of the Minister's family, now has her face covered in red spots, scratched raw.

If this news gets out, not only will Yun Jin's marriage be affected, but the reputation of the entire Shangshu Mansion will also plummet.

Madam Yun was filled with anxiety and panic; she had to do everything she could to cover up this secret.

Just as she was about to speak up and try to turn the tide with her silver tongue, she was interrupted by a series of hurried footsteps.

The arrival of the officials and soldiers, along with Prefect Lu of the Capital Prefecture, made Madam Yun's heart race.

Lord Lu's voice echoed at the gate of the mansion. His gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, as if he could see into people's hearts: "Who reported this to the authorities?"

Chu Xingyao stepped forward calmly, her voice clear and firm, like a clear spring in winter:

"I signed up."

"First: I accuse Madam Yun of inciting the people and falsely accusing me of poisoning her daughter."

Chu Xingyao's gaze was like a knife, aimed directly at Madam Yun. There was no fear in her eyes, only calmness and determination.

"Secondly, I am also suing the eldest daughter of the Minister's family for refusing to pay back the money she owes."

As Chu Xingyao spoke, she took out the certificate she had signed with Yun Jin after making a bet. The handwriting on the certificate was clear, proving that Yun Jin owed her money.

This evidence struck Madam Yun like a heavy blow.

Prefect Lu of the Capital Prefecture nodded and instructed, "Go to the Minister's residence and invite the Minister's eldest daughter, Yun Jin, to the Capital Prefecture."

The two soldiers responded in unison, "Yes!" and then turned and marched in unison toward the Minister's residence.

The Prefect of Jingzhao then turned to Chu Xingyao and said, "Since it was the County Princess who reported this to the authorities, the County Princess of Dingyuan also needs to go to Jingzhao Prefecture."

Chu Xingyao smiled slightly and replied gracefully and generously, "Okay."

Her smile carried a hint of coldness, as if to say that she had already won this game.

After saying that, Chu Xingyao gently patted her mother's hand and comforted her, "I'm fine, Mother is waiting for me at home."

Chu's mother's eyes were full of worry. She was worried and insisted on going with her. Chu Xingyao had no choice but to let her mother go.

A large group of people walked towards the capital, with Chu Xingyao and her mother at the front.

Madam Yun followed behind, her face pale and her steps unsteady, clearly deeply affected by this sudden turn of events.

When Yun Jin was brought to the Jingzhao Prefecture, her face was covered by a thin veil, which concealed her appearance but could not hide the anger and panic in her eyes.

She harbored deep resentment towards Chu Xingyao, whom she considered an incompetent fool, for daring to take the matter to court.

Yun Jin secretly vowed that once she had the chance, she would make Chu Xingyao pay the price.

The voice of Prefect Lu of the Capital Prefecture echoed in the hall. His expression was serious and his eyes were sharp: "The court is now in session to hear the case of Chu Xingyao accusing Madam Yun of false accusation and Yun Jin of owing debts."

"Who's next?" Lord Lu's voice rang out again. "Yun Jin, the eldest daughter of the Minister's household."

Yun Jin's voice came from behind the veil, trembling slightly. "The Minister's wife, Madam Lin."

Madam Yun's voice carried a hint of unease. "Princess Chu Xingyao of Dingyuan County."

Chu Xingyao's voice was calm and confident. Lord Lu's gaze shifted to Madam Yun: "Madam Lin, you claim the Princess of Dingyuan poisoned your daughter, do you have any evidence?"

Madam Yun hurriedly defended herself: "Your Excellency, the day Jin'er went out, she had a quarrel with the county princess. When she returned, there were red spots on her face. It must be that the county princess of Dingyuan was jealous of my Jin'er's beauty and poisoned her."

Chu Xingyao chuckled, a hint of mockery in her smile:

"Jealous of your beauty? I dare not say anything else, but this title of the most beautiful woman in Dongjing Kingdom was not bought. Would anyone believe me if I were jealous of Yun Jin?"

Lord Lu frowned: "This is just speculation; there is no substantial evidence."

At this moment, Yun Jin gave her maid a wink, and her personal maid, Bi'er, immediately knelt down and said:

"My lord, I saw with my own eyes that the Princess of Dingyuan touched our young lady's hand that day, and when she returned home, a rash appeared on her face. If you don't believe me, you can search her Xinghai Garden first; you're sure to find something."
