On the way back to the house, Chu Huanyan received news from Yun Chen, saying that the Yamen had sent someone to the house.

Chu Ziyuan was imprisoned for injuring a court official, while Lin Zeyuan and Wang Qi were carried to the hospital.

Chu Huanyan was in a good mood and went to the medical clinic first.

Seeing that Lin Zeyuan's face was red, swollen and bruised after being beaten, and he lost a bit of his usual handsome demeanor, she shed a few tears with "distressed" expression on her face, indicating that Chu Ziyuan must have quietly intercepted the news, and she simply No clue.

Afterwards, he went to the Dali Temple cell with satisfaction.

Beating a court official was a serious crime. Unlike ordinary cases, it was no longer under the jurisdiction of the government, but was directly handed over to Dali Temple.

When Chu Huanyan arrived, Chu Ziyuan, who was imprisoned, finally felt a little scared.

"Sister, you must save me. I only do it out of anger."

"No matter how angry you are, you should not beat the imperial official, Mr. Wang. He is a sixth-grade Hanlin Academy official. You are really in trouble!" Chu Huanyan frowned and reprimanded him with a hatred of iron.

"It was the man named Wang who made the first move!"

"Do you have evidence? Besides, you are staying here fine now, but Mr. Wang is lying in the hospital. If you say this, do you think Dali Temple will believe it?"

Chu Ziyuan's heart trembled, "Then what should I do! This matter will not affect my Xijue, right?"

"Return to Xijue?" Chu Huanyan looked exhausted, "If I can keep you out safe and sound, it will be God's blessing!"

"That's not possible, eldest sister, I will definitely seize the title. I also plan to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage immediately after seizing the title." Chu Ziyuan was anxious.

He was just angry because of Lin Zeyuan's instigation, so he wanted to vent his anger. That Wang or other Hanlin Academy official was clearly the one who got it together. Even if he hit someone, it shouldn't be considered all his fault!

"If I had known this, why would you be so impulsive? You don't know how much effort I have spent on the matter of attacking the prince. Now..." Chu Huanyan took a deep breath, "Chu Ziyuan, you are so impressive." I'm disappointed! This time, even if you have to go to jail, you are asking for it!"

"Sister..." Chu Ziyuan panicked.

Could it be that the eldest sister was planning to give up on him and stop helping him?

"Sister, you must help me find a way. I can't go to jail! I'm the eldest son of Ning'an Hou Mansion. How can I go to jail? If this spreads out, how can I marry Zhaoran in the future!"

Chu Huanyan looked at him coldly, looking disappointed and unmoved.

"Eldest sister, I can stop attacking the prince for the time being. By the way, postpone it! Postpone the attack on the prince! But I absolutely cannot go to jail. You must find a way for me!"

"Eldest sister, you can't just die without saving me, I..."

"That's enough." Chu Huanyan finally spoke again, "This time the attack on the prince is definitely impossible. As for the others... I will find a way to enter the palace tomorrow and try to plead guilty for you."

"Okay! Sister, it's all up to you. You must think of a solution. I..."

Before Chu Ziyuan could finish speaking, Chu Huanyan had already turned around and left with heavy steps and a tired look.

The moment she stepped out of the Dali Temple prison, the fatigue all over her body disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by the raised corners of her mouth.

"Miss, do you really want to enter the palace tomorrow?" Xian Yue asked.

"I still have to do something good, otherwise others will say that I, the eldest sister, am too cruel and just stand by and watch." Chu Huanyan walked happily, "First of all, in the name of the Hou Mansion, let's say that Chu Ziyuan It is known that I have made a big mistake and I voluntarily give up the attack on the prince in a few days. As for the rest..."

Chu Huanyan stopped and turned to look at the prison behind her.

"Chu Ziyuan's leg is only two days old. Let him stay in this prison for a little longer to recuperate."

……

The next day, Chu Huanyan's book was delivered to the palace on time.

At dusk, a message came from the palace servants, saying that the emperor also felt that Chu Ziyuan was young, energetic, impulsive and reckless, and was not suitable for the time being.

Chu Huanyan accepted the instruction and asked Xianyue to stuff a large bag of silver into the servant.

"My father-in-law, you blame my brother for being reckless. I wonder if the emperor is angry about him injuring an official?"

The father-in-law weighed the heavy silver bag in his hand, then put it into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Miss Chu. The emperor is busy with government affairs these days and has no time to pay attention to the beating of a sixth-grade official. After seeing Miss Chu, I didn’t say much about the news, I just asked our family to respond to the cancellation of the imperial conquest. As for the rest..."

The father-in-law paused.

Chu Huanyan motioned to Xian Yue, who stuffed another banknote.

"Oh my god, Miss Chu is too polite. How can I do this?" The waiter pretended to shirk.

"Father-in-law, please don't be polite. This little thought is just money for your father-in-law's tea." Chu Huanyan also said with a smile.

"So, thank you very much." The waiter accepted the bill and lowered his voice and said, "Miss Chu, we heard that the minister of Dali Temple is a fair man and rarely shows any favoritism. If it is Miss Chu, If you’re worried about your younger brother, it’s better to start with someone else.”

"Who?"

"His Royal Highness."

"Prince?" Chu Huanyan was stunned.

"Yes, the eldest lady doesn't know something. Dali Temple is now under the jurisdiction of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although His Highness seldom deals with government affairs, he can still make the decision after all, and His Highness the Crown Prince... so he is much easier to talk to, eldest lady, you know ." The chamberlain omitted anything about Xiao Jinzhi's usual behavior and only gave Chu Huanyan a knowing look.

"Thank you, father-in-law. Huanyan understands." Chu Huanyan nodded in response.

Seeing this, the chamberlain hurriedly said that you are welcome, then he held the silver and banknotes in his sleeves and left the Ning'an Marquis Mansion happily.

"I didn't expect that Dali Temple would be under the jurisdiction of His Highness the Crown Prince, but Miss, do we really want to ask His Highness the Crown Prince?" Xian Yue asked.

After all, the young lady just wanted to show off, and had no intention of really rescuing the prince so quickly, so she probably didn't need to make a special trip.

Moreover, to beg in front of His Highness the Crown Prince...

She was still a little worried about His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation.

Chu Huanyan shook her head, "Since we are going to put on a show, we have to put on some drama so that no one will notice. Let me prepare some gifts and we will go to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow."

"Yes, miss." Xian Yue sighed in her heart, and when she was about to go down to prepare, Chu Huanyan stopped her again.

"and many more."

"Miss, is there anything else?"

"Don't be too practical." Chu Huanyan warned.

Several shops that Shopkeeper Wang quietly purchased will soon be opened, and there will be plenty of places to spend money.

As for Xiao Jinzhi, it was just acting, so there was no need to waste it too much.
