Chapter 497 Complaint
Just now, he kissed her forehead, which made her forehead greasy, and she wiped it with a handkerchief. Now, seeing him staring at her neck, she was scared.
"Ayu, you are so cute." Chu Jingqi said fondly, "Don't worry, even if I want to show you how much I like you, it is only when there are no outsiders. Now, I will not touch you."< br>
Xia Zihan breathed a sigh of relief.
By the time a group of people came down the mountain, it was already getting late. The sun had already set as soon as they entered the city. Chu Yuexi sent Princess Qinghui directly to the Second Prince's Mansion. Chu Jingqi also sent Xia Zihan to Chu's residence and went in to give Mrs. Zeng After greeting him, he returned to Anguo Duke's Mansion.
He would have liked to stay one night at Chu's house and spend more time with Ayu, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so it's not suitable to stay there tonight.
Ayu wouldn't let him sneak into her house.
Chu Jingqi returned to Duke An's Mansion depressedly. As soon as he entered the hall, the manager told him, "Your Majesty, the Duke has something to say. If you come back, go to the study to find him."
"Yeah, I got it."
Chu Jingqi turned directly towards the study without stopping.
Chu Xuanyu was reading the official documents. When he saw him, his face darkened. Before Chu Jingqi could see him, he asked him, "What happened to Rong San in Prince Rong's Mansion?"
"He went to file a complaint?" Chu Jingqi seemed to have expected it, and her expression did not change.
Seeing his expression, Chu Xuanyu showed that he still didn't know the situation. His eyes widened, "Did you really hit me?"
"He deserves it." Chu Jingqi curled her lips, with a stern look on her face, "If he dares to take advantage of Ayu again, he won't have to break only one leg next time."
"What did you say? He was targeting Ayu." Chu Xuanyu's expression changed. "What exactly happened? Tell me from the beginning."
He motioned Chu Jingqi to sit down and said.
Chu Jingqi sat down, poured herself a glass of water, drank the water, and then told her about the incident where they hit Rong San's carriage on the street of Huguo Temple. ”
Then he said angrily, "He suddenly rushed onto Ayu's carriage. If I hadn't been faster, he would have broken in."
"It's none of his business that I'm engaged to Ayu. Who is he? He actually dares to use this matter to force me to break off my engagement with Ayu. It's really stupid and ridiculous."
Chu Jingqi was angry.
Chu Xuanyu's face was not good-looking, and became gloomy. "In the morning, as soon as the emperor came down to court, Rong San and Prince Rong came into the palace and cried, saying that you broke his leg. The imperial doctor looked at the broken leg and found that it was indeed broken. No, it’s still the wooden board that the imperial doctor tied him up in the palace. The imperial doctor also said that if he is well nursed back to health, he will be able to walk in three to two months.”
Speaking of this, Chu Xuanyu's face became darker again, "Aqi, he said that you beat him for no reason, but you didn't say that he broke into Ayu's carriage first."
"What did the emperor say?" Chu Jingqi asked.
"The emperor has said that you can't listen to Rong's one-sided words. I'm afraid someone will be sent to call you into the palace tomorrow." Chu Xuanyu said.
After learning that Rong San was beaten by Chu Jingqi because of his plan to hit Xia Zihan, Chu Xuanyu became very angry with Rong San.
Is it easy for his eldest son to find a daughter-in-law? Why do two of them come to take advantage of his daughter-in-law?
Is it because the Chu family is easy to bully?
Is it because they have been away from the capital for a few years, and no one in the capital takes them seriously? Damn it, if the tiger doesn't show its power, they still treat the father and son as sick cats?
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the court will issue official documents. We can't do this tomorrow, and we have to take off our clothes until after the Lantern Festival." Chu Xuanyu said, "You will go to the border on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The next time you come back will be half a year later..."
By that time, Rong San's leg had already healed, so Chu Jingqi's beating of Rong San this time was in vain.
Chu Jingqi and Chu Xuanyu both showed unpredictable smiles.
The next day, as expected, Chu Jingqi was called by the young father-in-law from the palace.
When Chu Jingqi arrived, she heard Rong San's voice while still outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, if you don't make the decision for me in this matter, I won't be able to live. From now on, any cat or puppy will come and break my leg. Where will the face of my Rong family go?"
"He, Chu Jingqi, has made great achievements by his side, so he doesn't take Prince Rong's house seriously. If the emperor doesn't punish him this time, then everyone in the capital will have to be bullied by him in the future?"
< br>
"Your Majesty, I really don't want to see the atmosphere of the capital be ruined in the hands of Chu Jingqi, so I came to ask the Emperor to make the decision for me. The Emperor cannot ignore it..."
In addition to the grievances in his voice, there was also a bit of choking. It was really tears and snot, and he was crying out of great grievances.
When Chu Jingqi walked in, she saw Rong San's calf tied with a wooden board, sitting on the chair below, with a few tears hanging on his face, and there was an obvious scar on his face. The scar seemed to be very deep and had already Scabs form, and if the scabs fall off, they may leave scars.
Seeing him, Rong San's eyes suddenly became angry. However, in front of the emperor, he was not stupid enough to rush up to fight with his legs lame. He just took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, his expression even more aggrieved.
Chu Jingqi glanced at him lightly, then took a few steps forward, lifted up the hem of her clothes, and knelt down, "My lord, pay homage to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."
"Here he comes." The emperor narrowed his beautiful eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Now that he is here, tell me, did you break Rong San's leg?"
"Your Majesty, it was indeed my fault that I was hit by mistake." Chu Jingqi knelt straight and said respectfully.
"You...you lied, you hit me on purpose." Rong San moved and almost flew into a rage.
If, as soon as he finished his voice, he received the emperor's sharp gaze, Rong San's expression froze, and he did not dare to interrupt at will.
The emperor turned his attention to Chu Jingqi and asked, "Missed? How did you miss?"
"Your Majesty, this is what happened..." Then, he told the story about Rong San trying to break into his fiancée's carriage, "Your Majesty, you said, I am Ayu's fiancé, and Rong San said nothing in front of me. , just wanted to break into my fiancée’s car. I thought he was going to assassinate me, so I missed him and kicked him.”
"Who knew he was a big man? He kicked him so carelessly. I only used 20% of my strength and his bones were broken. Your Majesty, he was the one who started this matter. It has nothing to do with me. If he hadn't rushed Even if he gets on the carriage, I won’t kick him.”
After saying that, he looked innocent and confident.
Rong San's face was livid with anger, but he didn't dare to speak easily again.
The emperor looked at Rong San, his face straightened a bit, "What Prince Chu said is true. Rong San, did you really break into Princess Chu Yu's carriage?"
Rong San's face turned pale, stiffened a little, and said tremblingly, "Back to the emperor, I... your carriage hit Prince Chu's carriage. I just wanted to compensate Prince Chu with some money, and I didn't know that." The carriage belongs to Princess Chu Yu, and Princess Chu Yu is on it. If I knew about it, I wouldn’t be reckless.”
