However, Xiao Mingyue didn't know the details. She only knew that her father was brought back from the woods by the emperor, and that the emperor looked very unhappy.

"Mother-in-law, let's go and take a look!"

Xu was so panicked that she tugged at Old Lady Xiao's sleeve and begged.

Old Lady Xiao calmed down and immediately led her people to the emperor's tent.

It happened that the emperor sent someone to call the Xiao family. When the eunuch met them, he led them to the big tent.

Old Mrs. Xiao stuffed a bracelet into the young eunuch's hand and asked nervously.

"Little eunuch, do you know what mistake my Erlang made to make the emperor angry?"

The young eunuch took a look at the bracelet in his hand and found that the water content was okay, so he smiled as if he was going to enjoy a good show.

"Oh, the old lady doesn't know yet? Lord Xiao was having a tryst with his lover outside, and was caught by our emperor!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Old Mrs. Xiao directly on the head, making her see stars and unable to tell the directions.

She could clearly understand each word, but when they were put together she didn't quite understand.

Although Xu was usually confused, she immediately knew what was going on after hearing what the eunuch said. She started cursing before she even arrived at the emperor's tent.

"Xiao Mingzhi, you bastard, you actually fooled around behind my back? What did you say when you married me? Have you forgotten everything?"

As soon as Xu started crying, Old Lady Xiao knew that something was wrong. She reached out to grab her but failed to catch her. She watched Xu run past her like a gust of wind and instantly entered the emperor's tent.

Now she felt even more dizzy. If she had a choice, she would definitely not bring Xu here.

Xu rushed into the emperor's tent and, without thinking twice, started beating and kicking Xiao Mingzhi who was kneeling there.

When Old Lady Xiao came in, she wanted to stop her, but she was pushed away.

When Xu turned around, she saw a bright girl kneeling beside her. She guessed that this was probably Xiao Mingzhi's lover. She raised her hand and slapped the young lady of the court doctor's family.

"You lowly little whore, you vixen! How dare you seduce my husband? I'll beat you to death!"

Sun Chang, a court councilor, was also present with his wife. When Mrs. Sun saw her daughter being beaten, she immediately became unhappy. She went up and grabbed Xu's hair, and the two of them started to wrestle with each other.

"Watch your mouth! It was clearly your man who seduced my daughter. How old is my daughter? She was raised well in seclusion, but your man ruined her!"

They say it takes two to tango, but Mrs. Sun is definitely on her daughter's side.

Besides, the woman is the one who suffers in this kind of situation. If she doesn't seize the opportunity to get more benefits, she will lose both the wife and the army!

The people below were fighting in a mess, shouting and cursing, saying all sorts of nasty things. The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, got a headache from the noise.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, the emperor picked up the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, shouting, "How dare you!"

The angry shouts finally calmed the two people who were wrestling with each other. Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Sun then realized that this was not the street where they could not do whatever they wanted. They both knelt on the ground with pale faces, shaking like sieves.

"A street shrew!"

The emperor glared at the two of them, but finally couldn't help but curse.

"Your Majesty, please help me! I have a good daughter, and she has been ruined like this. How can she live in the future?"

It was Sun Chang who reacted first. After the emperor calmed the situation down, he immediately knelt on the ground to seek justice for his daughter.

The emperor also felt that what Xiao Mingzhi did was not right. If you really like the girl, you can come to discuss the marriage.

Whether she is taken back to be a concubine or a concubine, it is better than having an affair outside.

"Xiao Mingzhi, what are you going to do about this?"

Eunuch Wang made a new cup of tea for the emperor. The emperor glared at Xiao Mingzhi, picked up the tea and took a sip to suppress his anger.

Xiao Mingzhi looked calm and kowtowed to the emperor.

"It is true that I did something wrong today. I am willing to make Miss Sun your concubine!"

"Xiao Mingzhi..."

When Xu heard that Xiao Mingzhi wanted to marry this vixen as his concubine, and even as a noble concubine, she couldn't help it and wanted to scold him loudly.

But as soon as she shouted out a name, Xiao Mingzhi slapped her in the face with such force that she fell to the ground.

"How can you yell and shout in front of His Majesty?"

In the past, no matter how tyrannical the Xu family was, Xiao Mingzhi always endured it silently.

But since he returned to the capital and saw the behavior of the ladies in the big families, he immediately felt that Xu was too vulgar and unreasonable.

What happened today was witnessed by the Emperor, and it is no longer something that can be easily resolved. An explanation must be given to Miss Sun.

No matter who seduced whom first, doing this is the best option now.

Xiao Mingzhi still has a future to consider, and he cannot let it be ruined because of such a small matter.

Xu was stunned. Xiao Mingyue quickly crawled over to help her mother up, tears in her eyes and resentment towards her father in her heart.

How could my father do such a thing?

Doesn’t he know that he is engaged to Brother Yu?

Now that I have made such a joke, what if I end up being disliked by Brother Yu?

Rather than saying that Xiao Mingyue was worried about the breakdown of her parents' relationship, it would be more accurate to say that she was afraid of being implicated by Xiao Mingzhi and being disliked by Lu Yu.

The emperor called both families over just to get a result. Now that the matter had been settled, he was too lazy to look at these people's faces.

After giving a direct order, Xiao Mingzhi carried Miss Sun back to the Xiao Mansion as soon as possible, and waved his hand to drive the group of people out of his tent.

Seeing the curtain fall, the tent finally returned to calm. However, the emperor snorted coldly, thinking that Xiao Mingzhi was obsessed with women and was totally useless!

"How is Xiao Ruge?"

Although this matter was discovered because of Xiao Ruge, she is an unmarried girl after all and is not suitable to be here.

She was frightened and fell off her horse and was injured. After she came back, the emperor asked her to go back first and sent an imperial physician to treat Xiao Ruge's injury.

"In reply to the emperor, Miss Xiao was carried back to the tent by the Seventh Prince. The imperial physician examined her and said that she was just sprained. She needs to rest for a few days and rub with medicinal wine and she will be fine."

Eunuch Wang did not dare to hide anything and told the emperor everything.

When the emperor heard that it was Mu Gu who carried Xiao Ruge back, he raised his eyebrows. Something suddenly flashed through his mind. He nodded without saying anything.

Xiao Ruge's tent was full of people. When they heard that she was injured, everyone from Concubine Chun to Xiao An'er came to see her.

"It's just a sprained ankle, it's not that serious. I've applied some medicated wine and it will be healed in two days."

Seeing Ao Rong and An Ge'er's concerned expressions, Xiao Ruge didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and comforted them softly.
