The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Shijing spoke casually, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.

Liu Yan had heard that Shen Shijing had a capricious personality and now didn't even respect his fiancée, the eldest son of the Minister's family.

The story of cutting out the tongue was widely circulated, and now the tables have turned, and this has finally happened to me.

Liu Yan trembled all over and dared not speak.

"Your Highness, please forgive me."

Prime Minister Su kowtowed, pleading for Liu Yan's life. After all, she was his wife, and although her words and actions were inappropriate, she was still a member of the Prime Minister's household.

If what happened were to come true, Prime Minister Su would feel a pang of nostalgia and would not want to see his wife have her tongue cut out like that.

"Prime Minister Su."

Shen Shijing walked up to Prime Minister Su.

"Does Your Excellency the Prime Minister intend to take the punishment for Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed.

His tone was so vicious that no one dared to say anything more.

Jiang Xianyue simply watched quietly.

That shrew Liu Yan, she always tries to smear other people's innocence with her mouth, she's so eloquent, she's driven countless people to their deaths.

It seems that Su Rou's days in the Prime Minister's residence were not easy either. If Shen Shijing did this, Jiang Xianyue should celebrate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianyue crossed her arms and ignored everything else.

Prime Minister Su rarely interacted with Shen Shijing.

"As for my wife's matter, I will naturally discipline her properly when I return, and give the Crown Prince and Miss Jiang an explanation. In the end, this matter is just a trivial one..."

"Prime Minister Su said that the Crown Princess's innocence was a small matter, but in Prime Minister Su's view, what is a big matter?"

I didn't want to get involved in other people's business, but I'm protective of my own.

After Shen Shijing said this, Prime Minister Su was also in a difficult position.

Liu Yan was terrified. She straightened up, tears streaming down her face.

"This woman deserves to die, this woman has a foul mouth, this woman..."

Say something, and then slap yourself in the face.

The slap was crisp and clear, but Liu Yan seemed oblivious to the pain. She was terrified that if she stopped, she would lose her tongue and never be able to speak again.

Even if she hated Jiang Xianyue's meddling, there was nothing she could do about it.

Su Ying sobbed and looked up at the Crown Prince, her eyes brimming with tears, looking utterly pitiful.

"Your Highness, Mother did not mean to insult Miss Jiang. It's just that Miss Jiang and General Huo seem so familiar with each other, so..."

"You deserve to die too."

Su Ying spoke with a hint of affection, but Shen Shijing's cold words were enough to extinguish everything.

Su Ying also trembled.

"I can't stand women's intrigues and schemes. If I say a word in their defense, it's considered an affair."

I've heard that Miss Su once wanted to marry General Huo. What kind of secret affair is this? How many times has the Lu family been cuckolded?

Su Ying became somewhat anxious upon hearing this.

"Your subject is loyal to her husband and has no feelings for General Huo."

Shen Shijing just chuckled.

"You're so eager to marry him, even your mother doesn't say you have an affair with General Huo. I'm just here to offer my condolences, and she's saying such nasty things."

This Miss Su's words are just as unpleasant as your mother's.

Jiang Xianyue added insult to injury.

"Why don't we solve it together?"

"Your Highness, their conversation is very irritating."

Jiang Xian Yue and Shen Shi Jing's back-and-forth conversation sounded like two demons whispering.

Zhao Xiuxiu, who had been silent until now, looked at the two of them and instantly lost all interest in Shen Shijing.

Shen Shijing has an excellent appearance. Although it is said that he has a quirky personality, he is particularly pleasing to the eye when he is lazily lounging somewhere.

Zhao Xiuxiu is fond of handsome men, and she feels happy every time she sees one.

However, this living devil is not someone you can easily like, especially since Zhao Xiuxiu almost lost her life once, and now when she looks at Shen Shijing's affairs, her eyes are filled with particularly complicated emotions.

Jiang Xianyue is no less impressive; no wonder she was able to defeat Liu Miaomiao and stand by Shen Shijing's side.

These two are really toxic, but she likes them so much.

Now I like two people.

“If Miss Jiang likes it, Liang Feng, cut off both of your tongues.”

Prime Minister Su watched helplessly as the situation escalated.

"How could Your Highness impose such a severe punishment on my wife and daughter because of a few words they uttered?"

"If you're not satisfied, go and accuse me. I'll be waiting here. But today, I'm going to take these two tongues."

Shen Shijing has an eccentric personality and no rivals. Even if Prime Minister Su goes to the Emperor, it will be too late.

He looked at Huo Rujing.

Just then, Huo Rujing spoke up for justice and bowed with his hands clasped in gratitude.

"Your Highness, please calm down."

"General Huo, I am mindful of your recent death and do not wish to hold a grudge against you. You would not want to dig your own grave, would you?"

Shen Shijing's attack was completely indiscriminate.

Huo Rujing remained calm and showed no fear.

"My wife has just passed away. If Your Highness wishes to use torture, would that be somewhat inappropriate?"

Moreover, although Madam Su and the Second Miss had a quarrel, a minor punishment would suffice. After all, Prime Minister Su is the Prime Minister of the country; even if we don't care about Madam Su's reputation, we should consider his authority.

Zhao Xiuxiu finally nudged Jiang Xianyue. This matter had escalated quite a bit because Zhao Xiuxiu had summoned Jiang Xianyue.

To be honest, Zhao Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel regret and unease.

Jiang Xianyue understood, knowing that although Prime Minister Su was somewhat confused, he was different from this mother and daughter, and she grabbed Shen Shijing's sleeve.

"I am genuinely on good terms with Miss Zhao, and I am here to help her."

Now that we've come to General Huo's residence to resolve this matter, Your Highness, it's best not to draw blood here; it's just a trivial matter.

Otherwise, I won't be able to do this business, and the shop might have to go bankrupt. It's better to make this a smaller matter.

Jiang Xian Yue's words were indeed effective.

Shen Shijing did not refute, nor did he dwell on the matter further.

"Liang Feng, these two should be punished for their insolence, but it's fine to return them to the Lu family and the Prime Minister's residence. I trust General Lu's family upbringing and Prime Minister Su will handle this impartially and won't hold it against them."

Everyone has family rules, right?

Having served as an official for many years, Prime Minister Su naturally understood the art of strategic retreat. Putting aside everything else, Jiang Xian Yue had truly been a great help, so he immediately bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you, Miss Jiang."

"Alright, Lord Su, take your men back. As for Miss Su Rou, General Huo has promised her that she will be the Huo family's principal wife and will be included in the family genealogy in the future. It's best not to take her back."

"That won't work!"

Even with her lips swollen, Liu Yan still hadn't forgotten about Su Rou.

Prime Minister Su merely glanced at her coldly, then said, "Does Madam still think this matter hasn't been blown out of proportion enough? Since General Huo has already agreed, it's a good outcome for Rou'er. Let's not bring this up again."

As Prime Minister Su was about to leave, Jiang Xianyue called him back.

"Prime Minister Su, have you seen through the situation regarding Miss Su Rou? What was originally a beautiful love story has been tragically cut short by the separation of lovers."

Prime Minister Su stopped in his tracks. Yes, he understood.

It wasn't that General Huo was heartless, but rather that someone was stirring things up, and he simply didn't know because he wasn't paying attention to the inner quarters.

But what is the purpose of doing all this?
