"This... It's all my fault that I believed the words of the jealous woman and treated you as a wild man. I'm willing to accept the punishment. " Xia Wei lowered his head even more as he silently hated the first wife in his heart.

"The Japanese king is in a good mood today, so he won't argue with you. After today, I hope the prime minister remembers to think about whether or not he should make a move after clarifying his opponent." Dongfang Ye looked at the useless Xia Wei and immediately lost interest.

"Lingfeng, let's go." Dongfang Ye put down the curtain and said.

"Respectfully sending off Night King." Only after the carriage had left did Xia Wei stand up from the ground. He looked at the carriage as it sped off into the distance, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped death.

"Why didn't you tell me it was the Night King in the carriage?" Xia Wei frowned with a face full of displeasure.

I just got off the carriage, your wife didn't even ask, and just said I'm a hook, a wild man, and didn't even give me a chance to explain myself. When you came out, she complained immediately after coming out, so I couldn't say that the person inside the carriage was the Night King, and you wouldn't believe me even if I told you, and I also reminded you that you didn't listen. Xia Sizhu placed her hands on her waist as if it had nothing to do with me. She was so angry that Xia Wei's face turned completely red.

"Pah!" Xia Wei turned his head and slapped the First Wife in the face.

"Old master, why did you hit me?" The first wife's eyes were filled with tears as she felt wronged.

"It's all because of you, a jealous woman whose head is spinning in jealousy. If it wasn't for you, I would have said that." After Xia Wei finished speaking, he flicked his sleeve and entered the manor.

"Master, what's wrong?" When Aunt Liu heard the inquiry, she came forward and asked.

Xia Wei didn't even look at Aunt Liu as he turned and walked towards the study. "Old master, wait for me."

The First Wife got up from the ground and hatefully gouged out Xia Sizhu and Aunt Liu before chasing after Xia Wei.

"What's going on with Sizhu?" Aunt Liu was confused by the chain of events as she looked to Xia Sizhu for help.

"Aunt Liu, if you had come out earlier, you would have seen a good show." Xia Sizhu walked in front of Aunt Liu with a dazzling smile.

"What kind of show?" "Tell Aunt Liu?" Aunt Liu's interest was piqued.

"Let's talk as we walk." Xia Sizhu tried her best to suppress the smile in her heart as she spoke.

"Alright!" Aunt Liu agreed without hesitation.

Xia Sizhu and Aunt Liu entered the estate together. As they walked, Xia Sizhu told Aunt Liu everything that had just happened.

"This Madam is really stupid." When she finished listening to Xia Sizhu's words, Aunt Liu was also full of smiles.

"Yeah, he's pretty stupid." Xia Sizhu nodded.

"But why did you come back in the Night King's carriage?" Aunt Liu was a sharp person, so she naturally wouldn't ignore this point.

"This is a long story." Xia Sizhu recounted everything that happened between Dongfang Hao and the arrow.

However, she didn't say the part about her being pressed against the wall by Dongfang Ye. She only said that she met Dongfang Ye outside the house and came back in his car.

"You're also lucky. If Night King doesn't take you away, are you going to be killed?" When Aunt Liu heard this, she even broke out in a cold sweat for Xia Sizhu.

"How could that be? Even if no one saves me, I can still run away!" If not for the appearance of Dongfang Ye, she would have used her own way to escape long ago.

"You! Go and rest! "I've been tired all day. I'm leaving." Aunt Liu didn't know what to say to Xia Sizhu's willfulness.

"Alright, take care, Aunt." After hearing Aunt Liu's words, she actually felt a sliver of sleepiness. After sending Aunt Liu off, Xia Sizhu went to bed.

"You guys slow down, don't hurt Xuan'er." In the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Physician helped with the wounds of Yan Aoxuan and the wet nurse. Yan Tianhua had someone prepare some airs as he carried Yan Aoxuan and the wet nurse back to the Residence of Generals.

After all, the palace wasn't his own home, and the palace also had an empress dowager. If the empress dowager wasn't willing to let go of his daughter and use underhanded tricks on her, he wouldn't even be able to guard against her.

"Dad, I'm in so much pain." In the room, Yan Aoxuan was lying on the bed with her buttocks facing up. Her face was in so much pain that Yan Tianhua couldn't help but feel his heart ache.

"Xuan'er!" Just bear with it. Daddy gave you the best medicine, so your injuries will quickly heal. " Yan Aoxuan and Yan Tianhua also felt heartache. He truly wanted to be the one being beaten up, so that he could bear the pain and suffering for his daughter.

"Is father and mother alright!?" Only then did Yan Ao Xuan remember her wet nurse who had been beaten up.

"Don't worry!" She's fine. " Yan Tianhua said.

"Xuan'er, why did you think of destroying Xia Sizhu's innocence? You don't know that the empress dowager dotes on Xia Sizhu, and even if you have a fatal injury, don't make it so full of holes. Just check and you'll find out that it was done by yourself." Yan Tianhua said resentfully.

So what if the empress dowager doted on Xia Sizhu? As long as you did things cleanly and swiftly, and the empress dowager didn't find out, even if she killed Xia Sizhu, the empress dowager wouldn't be able to find anyone to punish her.

Father, Xuan'er can't stand Xia Sizhu's arrogant appearance. She had humiliated her daughter at the banquet, so her daughter was angry and wanted to ruin her. It was a waste of her anger.

When Yan Ao Xuan mentioned this matter, she felt very wronged. She had sent her wet nurse to harm Xia Si Zhu, and not only had Xia Si Zhu safely escaped, but he had also caused her to suffer. What a cheap person.

"Xuan'er!" "It's not that father doesn't want you to return her, but that you're father's only daughter. How could father bear to let you be bullied by her? It's just that you did too poorly this time and made the empress dowager see through it with one glance." Yan Tianhua saw the displeasure on his daughter's face and tried to comfort her.

"Daddy means to agree with daughter to hurt Xia Sizhu." Upon hearing these words, Yan Ao Xuan's eyes immediately lit up.

"Xuan'er!" "Now that the empress dowager has returned, Xia Sizhu has someone to protect her, and now that this has happened to you, although the empress dowager said that she'll spare you, she'll definitely send people to secretly take note of you. In the next few days, you'll be peacefully recovering from your injuries, and Xia Sizhu won't be able to escape either. Killing intent flashed in Yan Tianhua's eyes. His daughter had been bullied by him, as her father. How could he allow his daughter to be bullied just like that?

"Daddy, you are so nice!" Yan Ao Xuan said with a smile on her face.

"Alright, rest well. Father still has some matters to attend to. I'll come see you again tonight." Yan Tianhua said gently.

"En!" Yan Ao Xuan replied. After Yan Tian Hua left, a cold glint flashed across Yan Ao Xuan's eyes. Xia Si Zhu, you slut, not only did you snatch the Night King from her, but you also caused her to suffer the punishment.

At this moment, Xia Sizhu didn't know that she was being watched by Yan Tianhua, Yan Aoxuan, and her father.

"Miss, you are up to eat." Ling'er carried the food to Xia Si Zhu's room. She lifted the blanket and pulled Xia Si Zhu off the bed. Xia Si Zhu quickly and nimbly put on her clothes, tied her long hair into a ponytail, and then went to eat.

"Ling'er, what's going on?" I didn't even get a good night's sleep. " Xia Sizhu picked up a bamboo shoot and placed it in a bowl as she spoke with an aggrieved expression on her face.

While she was sleeping, there were always sounds coming from her, causing her to be unable to sleep soundly.

"Not long after the young miss came back, the Crown Prince sent someone to send her a betrothal gift. That is more than twice as much as the present from the second young miss." As Ling'er spoke of the betrothal gift, her eyes became clear and then dimmed.
