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

After meeting Su Rou, Huo Rujing had complete faith in Jiang Xianyue's abilities. He looked at Jiang Xianyue calmly and said in a very composed tone, "Miss Jiang, speak frankly. Huo Rujing will keep his promises."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is the true Son of Heaven. General Huo's choice to serve the Crown Prince is not to repay me, but rather to say that he has chosen the right path for himself."

I won't rush this matter.

But what I'm about to say concerns General Huo; General Huo can decide for himself whether it's true or false.

Seeing Jiang Xianyue's furrowed brows, Huo Rujing nodded solemnly; those brows could trap a fly.

"Miss Jiang, please speak freely."

"General Huo, I knew you were in for a calamity the moment I saw you. Be careful on your next campaign. If possible, try sending someone else instead."

Jiang Xianyue has already made it very clear.

Even after resolving Su Rou's matter, the dark aura between Huo Rujing's brows did not dissipate; what was destined to happen would still happen.

Jiang Xianyue could only offer reminders; there was nothing else she could do.

"Thank you, Miss Jiang."

Huo Rujing looked at Jiang Xianyue.

"When I first heard about Miss Jiang, I didn't believe it. Miss Jiang is too young. If she claims to be a master..."

But now, a master is a master, and I don't know how to thank Miss Jiang.

"A plaque will suffice. We don't care about charging extra money; what we care about is our reputation in the capital."

Huo Rujing smiled, though it was a bitter smile.

"I was thinking that the Crown Prince, being of noble status, would value his reputation above all else. Why would he allow his future Crown Princess to open a shop in the city and show her face in public? I never expected that it would be Miss Jiang who is so capable."

It seems that the divinely ordained woman the Grand Master spoke of is indeed true.

Jiang Xianyue coughed twice.

"What is this so-called 'True Destiny'? It's just nonsense from the Grand Master."

Her voice was soft.

"However, I just happen to have some skills. They created this 'Chosen One' hoping that I could get close to their camp, but this has backfired."

Huo Rujing smiled.

"Rumors in the court say that the Second Prince is the real dragon among men. His mother is favored and he has many merits. Compared with the unruly Crown Prince, he is more capable of shouldering great responsibilities."

If it weren't for my discord with General Lu, I might have joined the Second Prince's forces much earlier.

But I never imagined those people would be so vicious, actually killing my fiancée. For the rest of my life, Huo Rujing swears to be loyal to the Crown Prince.

"General Huo, your choice is your own business. We can't control it or interfere with it."

Jiang Xianyue's tone remained gentle.

Huo Rujing nodded and led Jiang Xianyue back to the main hall.

Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Su wept bitterly before his daughter's body.

……

“Miss Jiang, it is my fault. I already know everything. The mother and daughter have confessed everything.”

Prime Minister Su's tone was hesitant and stammering, clearly indicating his deep regret.

"I will handle the family matters well. Thank you for reminding me, Miss Jiang. Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark my whole life, and Rou Rou would have died in vain."

"Speaking of which, Rou Rou is truly pitiful. I didn't even have time to see her one last time. Is there any way to help her...?"

“Miss Su Rou has already been reincarnated. She has no resentment or evil aura. Being able to reincarnate peacefully is the best choice. If fate allows, she is still in the capital. Perhaps you will meet again many years later.”

Jiang Xianyue spoke gently, trying her best to comfort her.

"General Huo, Miss Su Rou can now depart for her burial."

Zhao Xiuxiu stood to one side and tugged at Jiang Xianyue's sleeve.

“Sister Xianyue, what about those bad people who killed Rou Rou? We can’t just watch them get away with it. I know Rou Rou won’t hold it against them; she’s kind-hearted. But I’m different.”

Jiang Xianyue simply looked at Zhao Xiuxiu with gentle eyes.

"Evil will be punished, let's begin!"

The hostility emanating from Su Rou dissipated, and what happened next was anyone else's guess.

……

The night was deep and quiet, and there was no one around.

A scream erupted from General Lu's residence.

Prime Minister Su knew the whole story; Su Ying had become someone else's wife and was now a member of the Lu family.

A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; even if Prime Minister Su wanted to meddle, there was nothing he could do.

Su Ying was lucky to get back, and even felt smug about it at that moment.

In the dead of night, Su Ying, like a ghost, nearly bit off the neck of the young master of the Lu family, her screams echoing throughout the entire Lu mansion.

Lu Yu, being somewhat skilled in martial arts, clutched his neck and, after the pain subsided, rolled off the bed and began punching and kicking Su Ying.

Su Ying seemed oblivious to the pain and lunged at Lu Yu once more.

This time, the intention wasn't to harm Lu Yu, but to tear his clothes.

When the Lu family arrived, they saw Su Ying riding on Lu Yu, who was disheveled. Lu Yu's eyes were empty, and he was clearly numb.

General Lu turned his head, thinking it was just the young couple having some fun, or perhaps Madam Lu realized something was wrong and wanted to separate them, but couldn't.

Until the matter was over, Lu Yu was considered finished.

She escaped with her life, but in some places, it seems unlikely she will survive. Su Ying was imprisoned in a dungeon.

As expected, when the malevolent energy returned, Su Ying was slowly assimilated by it. It seems that the General's Mansion will not be peaceful in the future.

They went to Prime Minister Su, but he said that when Su Ying was dealt with, she relied on the Lu family's support. Now that she has caused trouble in the mansion, she should be sent away anyway. The Lu family can handle it themselves.

The Lu family found the people from Xinggong.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

They couldn't solve Su Ying's problem, and the same went for Lu Yu's. They were cheated out of money for no reason and ended up buying a few talismans.

Jiang Xian Yue had already distributed talismans to everyone.

The malevolent energy attacks indiscriminately, and she didn't want anything to happen to the people around her.

……

The day after the Lu family's incident, the capital was filled with unease.

Huo Rujing, accompanied by music and fanfare, delivered a plaque to Tianxing Pavilion and sent someone to vividly recount how Jiang Xianyue had manifested her power there.

This is what the common people are looking for. They saw that General Huo had come to explain in person and said he would report the matter to the court. Liu Yan had already confessed, and Su Ying was acting crazy. Now was clearly the best time to resolve everything.

Today, all the talisman paper in Tianxing Pavilion was sold out.

Jiang Xianyue, Xu Qingfeng, and Zhao Xiuxiu, who insisted on joining in the fun, counted the silver until their hands ached.

At that moment, two people arrived.

"We're out of things to sell, we're closing up shop."

Zhao Xiuxiu, her back aching, shouted at the people.

"We are from the Star Palace and wish to invite Miss Jiang to our residence for a chat."

The leading man clasped his hands in a gesture of respect and addressed Jiang Xianyue.

Zhao Xiuxiu and Xu Qingfeng immediately protected Jiang Xianyue.

"What invitation? I'll start a trap. Let's go together."
