Tang Qingzhi calmed down a little and smiled awkwardly at Ji Chu. Although both the Tang and Ji families were military families, she had been confined at home since she was a child, and had been learning palace rules and knitting all day long. She had only met Ji Chu a few times, and only today did she know that her martial arts were so good.

My reaction just now should be very embarrassing.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

"What?" Ji Chu didn't understand what Tang Qingzhi meant at first, but when he saw her embarrassed face, he immediately reacted, "No, no, I've been wild since I was a child, and I really admire women like the young lady. You've never seen a scene like today, so it's normal to be scared for a while. Besides, the young lady is already very powerful. If it were any other young lady, she would have probably cried out of fear."

Ji Chu said this sincerely. In the past, my father envied General Tang so much for having a daughter like Tang Qingzhi. He always told her to spend more time with Tang Qingzhi, and even if she wanted to learn to be as dignified as her, my father would be satisfied.

"What happened today?" Tang Qingzhi took the initiative to change the subject. Even though she had already guessed something in her mind, she still wanted to confirm it.

"It should be Prince Shun. We encountered several waves of assassins when we went to Lingnan before. I didn't expect that he would dare to hire someone to assassinate us openly after returning to Shangjing."

"Miss Tang, why are you and His Royal Highness Prince Chen appearing in Tiankeju today? Were you familiar with each other before?" Ji Chu just remembered that she was with Prince Chen just now. Although the two knew each other, they were definitely not familiar enough to meet alone.

Prince Chen's mind is unpredictable and he never participates in factional disputes in the court. But today he met the general's daughter. No matter what the matter is, Ji Chu always feels that he should be cautious.

Tang Qingzhi looked calm and said with a gentle smile, "I made an appointment today to thank His Royal Highness Prince Chen for saving me earlier. I didn't expect to encounter such a dangerous situation."

"Is it the incident that happened when Song Jinyu and I fell into the water on our wedding day? I heard from Mu Mu later that this incident was related to me. If it weren't for our wedding, you wouldn't have fallen into the water."

"Mrs. Song, you are too kind. You and Mr. Song have a good relationship, which is a good thing. It was my own carelessness that caused Mu Mu to fall into the water."

Ji Chu suddenly moved closer to Tang Qingzhi, grinned, and whispered, "Later, Mu Mu and I helped you get revenge. We beat up Jiang Yu badly on the street that day. I think she will be more restrained when she meets you again in the future."

Tang Qingzhi was not used to being so close to others, so she stepped back unnoticed. Ji Chu did not notice and did not hide the smug expression on his face.

"Thank you, Mrs. Song."

"Don't call me Madam Song anymore. It sounds uncomfortable. You are Mu Mu's eldest sister. Just call me Ji Chu from now on."

Tang Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and replied, "Then I will follow Mu Mu and call you Ah Chu."

"Okay, okay." Ji Chu's eyes sparkled. If his father knew that one day he would be able to have such a close relationship with the most talented woman in Shangjing, he would probably be very happy.

"Achu, big sister."

Hearing Tang Mumu's voice, they both turned their heads at the same time and saw Tang Mumu jumping towards them. Tang Qingzhi looked her up and down and was relieved to see that she was not injured.

Their eyes met King Chen's, and they nodded to each other. Tang Qingzhi then looked at Tang Mumu again, "How is it? Are you injured?"

Tang Mumu turned around in front of Tang Qingzhi and said cheerfully, "No, the two people next to me are both masters, and those killers are not enough for them to fight."

Hearing this, Tang Qingzhi still frowned, hesitated for a moment and advised: "Don't go out unless you have something to do in the future."

Tang Mumu nodded perfunctorily and quickly changed the subject to Tang Qingzhi, "Why are you and Prince Chen together?"

"It was me who made the appointment to meet with Prince Chen. Prince Chen helped me out in the Song Mansion that day. Today, I want to personally thank him."

Tang Mumu nodded, "Is that so? Then I should thank you in person."

Prince Chen's face flushed slightly, as if he was a little uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and said to Rong Yan and Song Jinyu, "I will not interfere in today's affairs. I will send Miss Tang back home first."

"Thank you for your help, brother."

Prince Chen nodded softly, helped Tang Qingzhi get on the general's carriage, and walked along the side of the carriage.

Watching the two go away, Tang Mumu sighed, "I'm really unlucky today. Not only did I encounter a killer, but I also had to pay money. Sooner or later, I will get this money back from that villain, Prince Shun."

Hearing this, Song Jinyu snorted coldly, "Don't forget that I paid for this money. You have to pay it back to me when you get it back."

"Then go and ask for it yourself."

Song Jinyu snorted coldly, not wanting to argue with Tang Mumu anymore.

"I don't know what's wrong with Prince Shun's brain. Even if he is favored by the emperor, he can't act so blatantly, right? This is in Shangjing City, under the emperor's feet, and he dares to assassinate the prince. Does he really think his life is too long and want to find something to do for Duke Jiang's mansion?"

Song Jinyu complained with a bitter face. Although the final result was not bad, the process was still tiring. After all, he and Ji Chu were implicated by the Rong Palace. They had to be careful about being hunted by assassins all day long and could not even eat a meal in peace.

"He is just too active. I don't know what the emperor likes about him. He has no brains and no talent. Apart from the fact that he is a reincarnated person, he really has no advantages."

"No, I still have to let my father know about this. I can't just keep silent about it this time, right?" Tang Mumu became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. "My father is too biased. We are all his sons, so why do you act like he was picked up?"

Rong Yan felt a little overwhelmed when Tang Mumu looked at him, as his father's partiality was not something he could control.

"Little Princess, you are putting Ayan in a difficult position. The emperor's partiality is not something Ayan can change. Everyone in the court knows that the emperor dislikes Ayan the most. Please stop poking at his feelings."

Tang Mumu glared at Song Jinyu, "You didn't let him go either."

Rong Yan sighed. Neither of them let him go, but he was used to his father's favoritism. Having lived two lifetimes, he was no longer the silly boy who longed for his father's care even before his death in his previous life.

Tang Mumu couldn't bear it after all, so she raised her hand and patted Rong Yan's shoulder, "Alright, alright, don't think too much about it, you should be used to it after so long, and it's not a one-day thing for the emperor to be partial to him. Even if the emperor knew about what happened today, it would be useless. We don't have any evidence that it was Prince Shun who did it, and we might even be charged with framing my brother."

"I'm sorry." Rong Yan felt aggrieved, but just like Tang Mumu said, if his father was deliberately biased, even if there were witnesses and evidence, he would not be able to do anything to Prince Shun.

"It wasn't you who did it, why are you apologizing?" Tang Mumu knew that Rong Yan was actually feeling uncomfortable. His father had been biased against him time and time again, and he didn't even dare to argue with Prince Shun.

When Song Jinyu saw that the situation was not right, he quickly found an excuse to bring Ji Chu back home. Only Tang Mumu could comfort Rong Yan.
