Shen Qingrang's injury had just recovered a bit, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around when he was ordered to go with his parents to the eldest uncle's house to apologize. In the past, going to the eldest uncle's house was always as a guest, but this time he had to lower his head and apologize to others, and his father had to go with him too. Shen Qingrang, although he had already made up his mind to humble himself, still couldn't help feeling some resentment in his heart.

  Just then, he heard that the Princess of Zhen Nan had brought Ye Jingchu with her, and was overjoyed to go find Ye Jingchu to play with ----- although there were many young people in the capital who were about the same age as him, but Ye Jingchu was after all someone who had been to the border and killed Tatars, which made him different. Young people always have some heroic spirit when they are young, and especially like to gather together with heroes.

  Ye Jingchuan had been waiting for him for a long time, and he watched Shen Qing's slightly awkward gait with his hands behind his back. He suddenly laughed: "Didn't you notice? Has the capital city recently become popular with learning to walk like a duck? How come you look like this?"

  "Never mind!" Shen Qing let waved his hand impatiently, not noticing Ye Jingchuan's tone was off: "It's all because of Song Liu! Wherever she goes, someone will be unlucky. I'm just the unlucky one!"

  Ye Jingchuan looked at the withered lotus flowers and dry lotus leaves near Bi Shui Ju, and asked nonchalantly: "Isn't that so? I think Song Liu is quite good, if you hadn't offended her somewhere, why would she report your situation?"

  Hearing someone speaking for her, it was Ye Jingchuan, who had always been on good terms with her, Shen Qing let out a snort: "What do you know?"

  He also wanted to say something to make Ye Jingchuang dislike her too, but thinking of Shen Xiaohai's frowning and cold gaze, he suddenly stopped talking: "Forget it, there's no point in telling you, anyway this girl annoys me."

  Ye Jingchuan was impatient and didn't want to talk to him anymore, looking at him he didn't seem like the type who would say anything worthwhile either. He kicked him in the butt with his foot: "Scram scram scram, I'm too lazy to talk to you. What kind of man are you, mumbling and stuttering!"

  He put all his strength into this kick, and he was originally very strong. With such force, Shen Qing let out a ghostly scream like a slaughtered pig, and his body fell forward with a thud, sprawling in all directions.

  When the girls came to support him with all their might, he was already in so much pain that tears were streaming down his face. With a belly full of anger, he turned his head and glared at Ye Jingchu, but for half a day, he didn't dare utter a single curse word.

  Ye Jingchuan was originally different from other noble sons in the capital, he liked to dance with swords and knives since childhood, and later stayed in the border for a few years, even killed people, usually when dealing with them, it's not uncommon to fight at the slightest disagreement.

  Even if he went to report, he would only be scolded a few times, but he would still have to suffer his father's scolding, Shen Qing endured it and finally held back.

  The Princess of Zhen Nan dragged Ye Jingchuan onto the carriage on their way back, and seeing his nonchalant expression, she got a bit angry: "You're still so calm after being beaten up? Luckily your father isn't here, or else he'd teach you a lesson!"

  "My father won't scold me for this." Ye Jingchu regained his spirit and smiled with some complacency: "The troubles he got into when he was young are countless, let alone that Ye Jingchu deserved a beating, I just carried out the will of heaven!"

  The Princess of Zhen Nan shook her head in anger, but she couldn't do anything about it. She sighed and poked him with one finger: "You, you're still doing this for Miss Song Liu's sake, aren't you? Do you think I don't know?"

  Ye Jingchuan saw his mother get angry, and he didn't put on the attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water anymore. He went forward, held her arm, and coaxed: "Mother, even if it's for Song Liu's sake, what's wrong with that? Shen Qing let that guy do something that was originally wrong, can others not stand up for justice? Besides, mother's heart is also solved thanks to Song Liu."

  Mentioning this matter, Princess Zhen Nan couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted again. Yesterday, because Shen Qing's injury was not fully recovered, she specially went to the Song family to visit and got some news from Old Lady Song.

  If this news is really true, then it would be a great help to them. She wouldn't mind Ye Jingchuan taking the lead for Miss Song Liu.

  After all, everyone will calculate this account. Her son and brother are pointing to this news. If this news is true, not only can the son wash away his suspicion, but also the brother can escape punishment. Xingfu, who has been eyeing her brother with hatred for a long time, will also be unable to swallow this favor.

  She couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, she had been unable to eat or sleep well for many days, thinking of all sorts of ways to get information out of him, even considering using Song Chu-yi to gather some news, but how come she never thought of simply asking Mrs. Song or Song Chu-yi straightforwardly?

  At that time, the Su family was in such a situation, and Old Lady Song was willing to take such a great risk to accept Chen Jinxin. Wasn't it because of Chen Jinxin's father, Chen Liangqing?

  They have a clear conscience, but others unjustly suspect them of being petty.

  "There's some truth in what you say." She stroked her son's head, feeling both relieved and worried: "You know the principle of gratitude and reciprocation, which is not a waste of your mother's teachings all these days. However, when helping others, one must also know the boundaries. This kind of taking responsibility for someone else's actions, your mother will naturally not blame you much, but if it involves other things, you must have a clear understanding in your heart and not act rashly."

  Ye Jingchuan knew what his mother was worried about and nodded solemnly with a serious expression.

  The Princess Consort of Zhen Nan thus also treated him as an adult and earnestly warned him: "Your Eldest Sister, the Princess, heard from the palace that the Empress Dowager had always been dissatisfied with Consort Song. It's said that even when facing the Eleventh Princess born to Consort Song, she would frown and be cold. She even quarreled with the Emperor over this matter. The Emperor originally deeply disliked the Cheng Guo Gong Fu, and now his daughter was involved in such a thing, it can be said that she was going against the wind. The Emperor's tolerance for her had already reached its limit, so he didn't care about the Empress Dowager's opinion and had Wang Jin Si put to death."

  So Rong Xian had already hated the Song family to the bone, and she had previously gone to great lengths to find out where Wang Jin Si was. Now that Wang Jin Si had died at the hands of the Song family, it could be imagined how severe her anger was.

  "The Empress Dowager specifically asked for a few girls to enter the palace to keep her company, but we shouldn't jump to conclusions about what this means. This is something you truly can't control." The Princess of Zhen'nan sighed: "Even if the Empress Dowager is being cold towards your sister, the princess, if she really wants to do something to the Song family's girls, there's nothing we can do to help, even if we want to intervene."
