Even if he was his son, he could not turn a blind eye to it.

The following day, during the court session, he announced that Chu Xiuwen would be exiled to guard the Imperial Mausoleum for five years, with no return to Jiang Du City unless summoned.

Chu Xiuwen, originally the legitimate son of the empress, was now demoted, causing an uproar in the court.

The empress in the Fengzao Palace, upon learning the entire sequence of events from Chu Xiuwen, had bloodshot eyes. Her long nails dug into her hands as she cried out in hatred, “Su Yingxue, you’ve harmed my son again. I won’t let you off! 1 want you dead!”

“Su Yingxue!”

Outside the imperial prison, Su Hao and Wu Jinyan came together to pick up Su Yingxue after her release.

Although she had spent a few days in prison and hadn’t suffered much, Su Hao’s face was creased with concern. “Sister! Fortunately, you came out unharmed. Otherwise, 1 would never let the Third Prince off!”

“The Third Prince should be on the way to his exile by now. It’s too late for me to show mercy!”

Su Yingxue smiled and linked her arm with Su Hao. The three siblings chatted and laughed as they headed back to the Marquis’s Manor.

Su Yingxue had just been released from prison. Seeing Su Hao and Wu Jinyan together more and more compatible when they were together, she smiled and teased, “Jinyan, now that you have returned to the Marquis’s Manor with us, you’re officially a member of the Su family. You won’t be able to escape us in the future.”

“I’m a member of the Su family now, but in the future, I don’t know which family you’ll marry into. If you marry into the royal family…”

“Jinyan, your mouth is quite fierce now!”

Su Yingxue cast a playful glance at Wu Jinyan.

Wu Jinyan, wearing an aqua-blue dress, appeared dignified and elegant. She covered her mouth and chuckled. “I’m quite wealthy now, so 1 naturally need to be fierce!”

“Then, when you marry into the Marquis’s Manor in the future, don’t make things difficult for me, your little sister-in-law, okay?” Su Yingxue chuckled and snorted twice.

“I won’t make things difficult for you. But you do have some good herbs that can be turned into spices in your possession. I’d like to have some!” Wu Jinyan openly said.

“Look, she’s indeed become bossy now. Her attitude has changed!”

In Su Hao’s presence, Wu Jinyan was laughing, and Su Yingxue was teasing. The days were as beautiful as the stories in books.

However, when he recalled the letter he received the day before, he couldn’t manage to raise the corners of his mouth.

Su Dingheng had known for a while that Su Yingxue had been released from prison, so he had organized a banquet to celebrate and had even waited specifically for her return.

Su Yingxue was slightly surprised, but during the banquet, Su Dingheng’s words made her smirk.

“Yingxue, your clinic has reopened, and you still have many shops and fields under your control. 1 imagine you must be quite busy. It might be better to have someone else manage the affairs of this household,” Su Dingheng said solemnly.

He was dissatisfied with Su Yingxue.

Even though she had managed the household meticulously and hadn’t made any mistakes, she had always been at the center of controversy. This time, she was imprisoned after the death of Princess Sheng Ping.

What if another prince died next time?

If the Marquis’s Manor remained under her control, he would be inevitably implicated.

Hanging by a thread, with the potential of falling to his death at any moment.

Su Dingheng, who was cautious, couldn’t accept this.

“Father, when Sister was in trouble, you didn’t intercede for her. Now that she’s just returned home, you’re eager to have her hand over the power of the family. Isn’t that too much?” Su Hao questioned with a deep voice.

His demeanor carried the unique authority of a military man. Su Dingheng, a scholar, couldn’t compete with him.

However, Su Dingheng’s expression showed disdain.. “If she hadn’t caused trouble herself, would the Princess’s death be related to her?”
