Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

The next day, Su Haoyu returned from Dazhou and went straight to Mu Jinchen's tent. When he reached the door, he called out, "Brother-in-law, I'm back." He then went inside, but didn't see him at his desk. So he looked at the bed, and what he saw made him furious. The floor was a mess, with women's clothes scattered everywhere. And to make matters worse, he was embracing the woman.

Seeing this, Su Haoyu hesitated for even a moment, not wanting to let Su Qianrou down, so he stepped forward, picked up Mu Jinchen, and punched him hard.

Mu Jinchen was woken up by him, and a fierce aura emanated from him. But when he saw that it was him, the fierce aura dissipated and he asked, "Xiaoyu, what are you doing?"

"What I do, how dare you ask me what I do? How can you face my sister?"

Mu Jinchen was unaware of the situation.

Just then, Zhang Taohong woke up, saw Su Haoyu, exclaimed in surprise, and then gripped the blanket tightly.

Mu Jinchen then realized she was on his bed. He instinctively backed away, then noticed he was only wearing an undergarment and trousers. He frowned, trying hard to recall what had happened the night before, but he couldn't remember anything. He only remembered that she had brought him a bowl of hangover soup. He didn't want to drink it, but she kept urging him, and he got impatient, so he took a sip. After that, he couldn't remember anything. So he asked, "Why are you on my bed?"

Zhang Taohong said nervously and shyly, "Last night I came to bring the prince a hangover soup, but the prince seemed to have mistaken me for someone else. He kept holding my hand and wouldn't let go, and even did... that kind of thing to me." As she spoke, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"Why do I have no recollection of this at all?"

"Ha, you've already done it and you still won't admit it. Look for yourself," Su Haoyu said disdainfully, pointing to the clothes on the ground.

Mu Jinchen looked at the ground, his brows furrowed, but he really had no recollection of it at all.

At this moment, Yingfeng walked in, and seeing the scene before him, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief and said, "Your Highness, you... this..."

After learning about it, Su Qianrou said, "Could it be that he's drunk?"

"I don't think so. I heard from General Zheng and the others that my brother-in-law has a very high alcohol tolerance and has never been drunk."

Whatever the reason, what shouldn't have happened has already happened, and they are already divorced. Su Qianrou didn't dwell on it too much and said, "I understand, you can go back now."

Su Haoyu looked at her with concern, "Sister, don't be too sad. It's his loss that he doesn't cherish you. Please don't do anything rash."

"In your eyes, is your sister so fragile that she can't live without a man?"

"Of course not. What are men? My sister is so capable, she can definitely live a good life on her own."

"That's... Alright, it's getting late, go back and get some rest."

"If you need anything, remember to come to me. You must come to me. I'm your own brother."

"understood".

Su Haoyu was still a little worried, so he kept looking back.

Su Qianrou looked at him helplessly.

The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Su Mingxuan and Su Haoyu arrived at the Regent's Palace with a group of servants.

Juxia and Qiulan had already finished counting all of Su Qianrou's dowry overnight, and were just waiting for their arrival.

"Eldest son, second son."

"Have you counted everything?" Su Mingxuan asked.

Juxia replied, "They've all been counted."

"Then let's move it."

"Yes," Juxia immediately directed the servants to move the things away.

Within an hour, the news of Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen's divorce spread throughout the entire capital, sparking much discussion.

Yunluoyuan

Zhang Taohong was shocked to learn that Su Qianrou and Mu Jinchen had divorced. "You mean, the prince and princess have divorced?"

"Yes, at this moment, the princess's family members are leading servants to move her dowry into Yanxi Palace."

"I never expected they would divorce," Zhang Taohong couldn't help but laugh out loud, her smile impossible to hide. "They're divorced, so wouldn't I have a good chance of becoming a princess in the future?" She even started daydreaming, feeling happy just thinking about it.

Chunlan was not as ignorant as her; she naturally knew that with her status, she could not become a princess, so she did not agree. Moreover, she inadvertently revealed a disdainful expression, but Zhang Taohong was immersed in joy and did not notice.

Afterwards, Mu Jinchen also arrived at Yanxi Palace.

Upon seeing him, Su Mingxuan respectfully greeted, "Your Highness."

“Brother-in-law, oh no, I should call you Your Highness now. Your Highness has come because you are afraid that we will take things from the Prince’s Mansion. Your Highness can rest assured. Although our Su family is not as good as the Regent’s Mansion, we would not steal anything, much less do such petty theft.”

Mu Jinchen could easily detect the sarcasm in his voice, but he didn't take it to heart and asked, "Is she alright?"

Su Haoyu said irritably, "Doesn't Your Highness think you're being hypocritical by asking such a question?"

Su Mingxuan then asked, "Does Your Highness wish for her to be well or not?"

"I naturally hope that she can live a good life."

"Your Highness can rest assured, my sister will only live a better life than before."

"Xiaoyu, don't be rude. The prince didn't hold it against you before because of your sister. If you continue to be rude, no one can protect you. Hurry up and apologize to the prince."

Although Su Haoyu was unwilling, he still said, "This humble general has overstepped his bounds, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"My younger brother is ignorant, Your Highness, please don't be offended."

Su Mingxuan's attitude towards Mu Jinchen has become noticeably more distant. In the past, in addition to being ruler and subject, they were also family, so there was more room for casualness. But now, they are only ruler and subject, so it is impossible for them to be as close as before.

Mu Jinchen could easily see that he was doing this on purpose, and said, "It's alright." Then he said, "I have come here today to ask for your help with something." As he spoke, he took out several land deeds and continued, "These are several properties under my name. Please pass them on to Rou'er... in your name."

“My sister is missing out on your business. With her intelligence, she can have as much as she wants. She doesn’t need yours.”

"I know she has nothing to lack, but this is just a small token of my appreciation."

"You think you can make up for the harm you've done to my sister by giving her a few worthless properties? Let me tell you, it's impossible. You should keep them for yourself. My sister doesn't care about them."

Mu Jinchen had no choice but to hand it to Su Mingxuan, hoping he could pass it on, "Please pass it on to Rou'er, Young Master Su."

Su Mingxuan did not reach out to take it. "Your Highness did not give it to her personally, presumably because you know she will not accept it. That is why you thought of giving it to her under our name. However, we do not want to hide it from her, nor will we. Therefore, please forgive us, Your Highness, that we cannot help you with this."

Mu Jinchen didn't expect him to refuse.

At this moment, Juxia came over and said, "Young Master, Second Young Master, we've almost finished moving everything."

"Your Highness, we'll take our leave now," Su Mingxuan said, turning and departing.

Su Haoyu gave Mu Jinchen a dissatisfied look, then followed.
