Chapter 832 The Fate of Scumbag Men and Women!
Duanmu Qing blushed slightly, but her brother replied, "No need for formalities, we'll be family sooner or later."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Qing stamped her foot and said coquettishly, "Brother!"
Mu Qingxuan was taken aback, while Duanmu Xing seemed to understand a bit, but he just laughed a few times and didn't say anything.
When the news of Chu Yan's imprisonment spread, it was as if a dark cloud had been cast over the entire Chu family.
Chu Rong also returned, and upon hearing the news, his first reaction was to slam his hand heavily on the table!
"It's utterly foolish! I ran into the Prince Su's heir yesterday, and he was mentioning that the marriage with the Mu family might be finalized soon. I never expected this to happen today. It seems they planned this all along. Otherwise, why would the brother and sister have gone to the Fugui Restaurant today?"
Duanmu Jing was unaware of this twist. "So that's how it is. They were planning to ruin this marriage? If Duanmu Qing and her brother had only heard about this trivial matter and hadn't gone out to investigate, or if they had left in a fit of anger, this marriage would naturally have been impossible. But Duanmu Xing was there, and Mu Qingxuan himself was there, and someone deliberately pushed the door open. Otherwise, it might have been Mu Qingxuan?"
"That Chu Yan is truly hateful! Hasn't she just pushed our Chu family into the eye of the storm again?"
"The current situation seems somewhat complicated. The person behind it all is truly cunning."
"So we can't rush things now. Don't worry, I know very well what kind of person your fourth brother is. He won't doubt the loyalty of our Chu family to him. I'm afraid he's just testing us, wanting to see who has such audacity?"
“That’s true, but Father seems quite worried. You should go and see him. Since Fourth Brother sent something over, he probably just wants to see how the Chu family is handling this matter. Don’t let Father worry too much.”
Chu Rong nodded. "You can go to sleep first. You don't need to wait for me."
"Ah."
The way Chu Rong and Duanmu Jing got along in the Chu family was no different from that of an ordinary couple.
Chu Rong did not need to bow to her, nor did he need to announce his arrival or departure. Duanmu Jing treated him just like an ordinary wife would treat her husband.
She would help him change and wash up early in the morning, and even help him bathe in the evening.
Regardless, several years into their marriage, Chu Rong had never taken a concubine, nor had he been followed by any disreputable women, which reassured Duanmu Jing.
Compared to other princesses, her life was clearly the most enviable.
Chu Rong indeed returned very late after discussing matters with his father.
He carefully pushed open the door. Although he saw that the candles were lit inside, he didn't think that the princess was still awake at this hour.
Duanmu Jing was indeed asleep, but not on the bed; she was sleeping on the soft couch in the outer room.
Chu Rong stood before the bed, quietly watching her. Strictly speaking, Duanmu Jing was indeed extremely beautiful.
Especially in her, there seems to be an endless vitality, which is something that cannot be seen in the usually quiet Mu Xin Nuan.
Thinking back on the few years since he married the princess, he now has a son and a daughter. The princess is also very filial to her parents. Although they don't need to pay their respects to her every day, she is very respectful to them in other matters.
Although Duanmu Jing is lively, she is not domineering. You can see a lot of energy in her, but you won't feel that being with her is hard.
At least, she won't put on airs like a princess in front of you.
In this respect, she is much better than Princess Zhaoyang.
Chu Rong carefully walked over and slowly picked her up.
Duanmu Jing opened her eyes groggily and leaned her head against his chest. "You're back?"
"Hmm, why don't you sleep in bed? It's easy to catch a cold if you sleep outside."
"I was going to wait for you to come back, but I fell asleep without realizing it."
Seeing that she was indeed extremely tired, Chu Rong stopped talking to her and helped her undress so that she could sleep more comfortably.
Seeing that she looked somewhat sleepy and tired, it only added to her charm.
Chu Rong's hand unconsciously moved slowly upwards from her waist.
Soon, soft moans and panting filled the room. The maidservant outside woke up, blushed, and quietly retreated outside.
The affair between Xie Si and Chu Yan caused quite a stir in the city.
In the end, it was only through Xie Qingkuan's introduction that Master Xie was able to enter the Eastern Palace and personally apologize to the Crown Prince, finally managing to get his son released.
Of course, this is not the end.
Before Xie Lao Si came out, Master Xie had someone prepare an extremely generous gift and send it to the Mu family.
Mu Changping and Madam Li naturally learned of this matter, and they certainly didn't give the Xie family a friendly look.
However, seeing that it was Xie San who came, and that he was very polite in his words, he did not insist anymore, and had the things taken away, which could be considered as forgiving the words and actions of the fourth young master of the Xie family.
When Xie's fourth son was taken out of prison, he was completely unrecognizable.
He was really unlucky; he was locked up for three days and beaten up every day.
The jailer didn't care whether he was a young master of the Xie family or not; he simply pretended not to hear the wailing and howling inside.
It was only then that the fourth young master of the Xie family realized that he had met his match.
Seeing his son like this, Master Xie felt no pity whatsoever. He snorted coldly at him and turned to leave.
At the same time, Master Xie ordered that the fourth son of the Xie family go directly to the ancestral hall to kneel. He could only return to his own courtyard after seven days. In addition, he was confined to his home for three months and was not allowed to leave his own room without his permission!
Such a severe punishment was, of course, also to give the Crown Prince and the Mu family an explanation.
When Young Master Xie came out, Chu Yan naturally followed.
The difference was that the Chu family didn't do anything, but General Chu simply arranged an ordinary house for them outside the city, and let the mother and her two children move in. He also assigned them two maids, a gatekeeper, and a guard, which was considered to preserve their blood ties.
Chu Yan's marriage was naturally called off.
Her reputation is now utterly ruined.
Originally, no one in the capital knew of Chu Yan, but now, after this commotion, the name Chu Yan is now being cursed everywhere.
Madam Chu was not a stingy person. She gave them some loose silver and an additional one hundred taels as a resettlement fee. From then on, she completely severed ties with them.
