Xie Chaochao felt that the Chu family treated her very well. She nodded, walked behind the screen, and changed into a purple dress, which was comfortable, fitted, and beautiful.

Madam Chu walked around Xie Chaochao and said, "Yes, very beautiful."

Then he took her to sit in front of the bronze bell and dressed her up.

When he went out, Chu Heng had been waiting for a long time.

When he saw Xie Chaochao, who was as beautiful as a fairy and seemed to have walked out of a painting, he felt his heart skip a beat and was filled with joy.

Mrs. Chu pushed people towards him.

"Heng'er, Chao is your wife, don't let her suffer any injustice, otherwise..."

She raised her eyebrows and said sternly and resolutely, "I will punish you according to the family rules!"

Chu Heng knew it without his mother reminding him.

After repeated assurances, the two of them got into the carriage as their mother watched.

On the way, Xie Chao asked Pei'er to go to the pharmacy to get something. Chu Heng thought her injury had relapsed, and she simply explained that it was the ointment made by Liu Fengling.

Because they smelled good, I asked someone to make two more models to give as gifts.

Chu Heng smelled it and felt relieved.

After a bumpy ride, we arrived outside Xie's house.

But the door of the mansion was closed tightly, and it didn't look like they were welcome to see them.

Xie Chao frowned and walked over to ask, "Where's father?"

The guard at the door saw Xie Chao and bowed, "Thank you, Prime Minister, for bringing your wife and the second young lady into the palace."

"Enter the palace? Today is the day of returning to the palace, don't they know?"

"I don't know about this little one." The guard was embarrassed.

Xie Chao was speechless. He looked up at the plaque of Xie Mansion and felt it was dazzling.

This was clearly a lack of respect for her, and even Chu Heng disliked her.

Chu Heng came over from behind and asked softly. After learning the answer, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly grabbed her hand and said loudly, "Since Prime Minister Xie has entered the palace, there is no need to return home. Madam, let's go back, but I need to go to the palace to discuss the drought at the border with the emperor."

Xie Chao said, "Then I will accompany my husband."

Chu Heng was stunned for a moment, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously clenched her hand, "Okay."

……

Inside the Jinluan Hall.

Prime Minister Xie bowed with both hands and looked at Xie Yue'er's injuries with heartache. His tone was not only angry but also a little unhappy.

"Your Majesty, it is really abrupt for me to come back to the palace this time. The main reason is that my daughter is the wife of the Fifth Prince. Should I give an explanation for the injuries she has?"

Xie Yue'er pulled at her father's clothes.

She turned around to take a peek at Su Moqing, and saw him drinking tea on a chair. She was shocked and frightened. She had told her father and mother not to worry about it, but her father insisted on going and informing the emperor.

The emperor looked Xie Yue'er up and down, frowned and questioned Su Moqing, "What's the matter? Can't you change your bad habit of scratching your paws? Do you need me to help you change it?"

Su Moqing stood up and knelt on the ground, "Father, this was not caused by your son. This was caused by... when you were fooling around."

"It's rare for me to meet such a congenial girl, so it's inevitable that I went a little too far, Madam, don't you think so?"

He turned around and looked at Xie Yue'er with a smile, but there was a venomous ferocity in the depths of his eyes.

Xie Yue'er was shaking with fear.

Didn't Xie Chao suffer the same fate in her previous life? But didn't she still end up as a royal consort? She was no worse than her! Why couldn't she stand it?

Grit your teeth, Madam of the Imperial Concubine! Young Master's Wife! They are all yours!

She broke free from her father's hand, knelt beside Su Moqing, and spoke to him affectionately, "Your Majesty, the prince is right."

The parties involved all said so, and the person who made the decision for her didn't know what to say.

Mrs. Xie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, while Prime Minister Xie said nothing and sat there dejectedly.

The emperor looked at Su Moqing tenderly holding the trembling Xie Yue'er, and said sternly, "Even if you are fooling around, you have to know the limit. I don't care about your business, but if it happens again, I will take away your title without any discrimination. Do you remember this?"

This statement gave Prime Minister Xie enough face.

Su Moqing was stunned for a long time after hearing this. No matter how much he acted in the past, his father had never punished him so severely...

He glanced sideways at Prime Minister Xie, and was shocked to see that he was looking directly at him.

It seems that, as the rumors say, the Emperor is unusually partial to Prime Minister Xie.

A good man never suffers a loss in front of him. He nodded, "Yes!"

Outside the door, the guards ran in, "Your Majesty, General Xiao Chu is outside the door asking to see you, saying it's about the drought."

The emperor straightened his clothes and said, "Please."

Su Moqing and Xie Yue'er stood up together and sat on one side.

Soon, two figures walked out of the hall.

One is as tall as a pine tree, the other is as graceful as a butterfly.

In just three days, Xie Chao had changed so much that even Prime Minister Xie and his wife could not recognize him. He was fair and beautiful, and exuded an intellectual beauty.

The two of them saluted the emperor, neither humble nor arrogant, just like a golden boy and jade girl.

"Long live my emperor."

After waiting for a long time without getting a reply, Chu Heng looked up, only to see the emperor's face gloomy, staring at Xie Chao beside him without blinking. He shouted again, "Your Highness, I, Chu Heng, pay my respects to the emperor."

The emperor responded in a voice as loud as a dragon, "Get up and sit down."

Chu Heng helped Xie Chao up, passing by the surprised Xie Yue'er.

Xie Yue'er stared at Chu Heng, shocked. Why was it different?

In his previous life, Chu Heng was ambushed on his wedding night and had to lie in bed for half a month before he was saved. But today, he is standing here intact, even more handsome than Su Moqing! Even more imposing!

Her hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes revealed her uneasy state of mind.

Su Moqing looked at Xie Chao, who was thin but had an exquisite appearance. He examined her from head to toe. For some reason, he felt as if he had seen her somewhere before. She was the wonderful person who belonged to him.

But he was sure that this was the first time they met today.

He touched his lips with his hand and observed Xie Chao carefully. Xie Yue'er happened to turn around and saw this scene. Her heart skipped a beat.

The look in her eyes when she looked at Xie Chao became even more ferocious. After not seeing her for three days, the bitch not only knew how to dress up, her skin and figure improved, she could even seduce people.

"What's the matter?" the emperor asked.

Chu Heng stood up and looked at Prime Minister Xie. "It's not a big deal. I just heard that my father-in-law was in the palace today. I came to see what's going on. Why can't you wait for us? Chao is your daughter, right?"

"Of course." Prime Minister Xie heard that Chu Heng was looking for trouble, so he couldn't not give Chu Heng face. "Chao, how are you these days?"

Xie Chao drank his tea calmly, his voice gentle and soft, "Thanks to my father and mother, everything is fine."

He looked at Chen's ugly face, which was bruised and blue, and wished he could swallow up his Xie Yue'er.

"Better than my sister."

Xie Yueer stood up and said, "Are you trying to anger me on purpose? You don't have to!"

Xie Chao smiled, "What my sister said is not true. I haven't found fault with my parents when I returned home today. How can you say that I came to irritate you? I didn't know you were bullied so badly."

Seeing her acting so self-righteous, Xie Yueer was almost mad with anger! It turned out that all this was hers! She had helped her to bear it! Now she was still angry with herself!

She gritted her teeth, "Xie Chao!"
