In the early morning, the sky just hinted at first light.The earth was still shrouded in mist. Inside the Buddhist Hall. The little maid leaned against the wall and fell asleep. A gust of wind blew, jolting her awake from the cold. She opened her drowsy eyes and saw Princess Nanzhang lying on the ground. The maid thought Princess Nanzhang, like her, couldn’t bear it and fainted from exhaustion. Quickly, she got up and took a cloak to cover Princess Nanzhang. The little maid shrank back to the corner and went back to sleep. Sleeping in the morning was not as sound as at night; she woke up twice to see Princess Nanzhang still in the same position. Only then did the little maid sense something was wrong and called out a few times. No one responded to her. The little maid’s face turned pale. She hurriedly ran outside, breaking the morning’s silence with urgency— "Something’s wrong! The Commandery Princess has fainted!" Su Jin had just woken up and learned about Princess Nanzhang’s fainting. Su Jin’s lips twitched. Although being punished to kneel was exhausting. But it shouldn’t be so tiring as to faint after one night, right? "Miss said to have someone watch her, Princess Nanzhang surely didn’t dare to slack off," Xingxing said. "Now that she’s fainted, do we still make her kneel until noon?" Xingxing asked. Su Jin raised an eyebrow. This was indeed a problem. "It was the Old Madam who punished Princess Nanzhang to kneel in the Buddhist Hall, not me." "Listen to the Old Madam," Su Jin said. As usual, Su Jin got up, washed, and then had breakfast. Coincidentally, the Old Madam had the same idea. "The one who punished Princess Nanzhang is the Eldest Young Madam, listen to her," the Old Madam said. Each was waiting for the other. No one spoke up. Regarding Third Master and Third Madam, Princess Nanzhang obediently knelt for a night. No one gave an order, Mrs. Zhao didn’t dare to carry anyone back to Peony Garden, lest further trouble arises then. She anxiously paced back and forth inside the house. Xie Jinyu and Xie Jingchuan hurriedly came upon hearing the news of Princess Nanzhang fainting. "Why haven’t you carried my mother back to Peony Garden?!" Xie Jinyu exclaimed. Mrs. Zhao said with difficulty, "The Commandery Princess is being punished to kneel, without the Old Madam’s word, I don’t dare to move." "Since when has my mother been this afraid of the Old Madam?!" Xie Jinyu huffed. Mrs. Zhao didn’t know how to respond. Times change. The Commandery Princess isn’t afraid of the Old Madam, but if the Old Madam decides to fight to the end, the consequences are unimaginable. Xie Jingchuan didn’t waste words, picking up Princess Nanzhang and carrying her out of the Buddhist Hall. Mrs. Zhao dared not stop him and obediently followed behind. Su Jin had just finished eating when she learned that Princess Nanzhang returned to the Peony Garden. Although anxious to return to the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Su Jin did not move, watering the flowers in the garden. Her every move was reported to the Old Madam by the maid. The Old Madam was fuming, "She’s fainted from kneeling, and she’s still not satisfied?!" "Could it be that she wasn’t given any money?" Mrs. Wang suggested. The Old Madam frowned. When the silver note of ten thousand taels reached Su Jin, she didn’t even enter her room; she left Agarwood Pavilion directly. The Old Madam, upon learning this, was so angry that her chest hurt. Never seen someone who loved money this much! Upon leaving the Duke Mansion, the Hidden Guard drove a carriage over. Xingxing looked at the Hidden Guard and asked, "Where’s the master’s horse?" The Hidden Guard, "..." While speaking, Xie Jingchen helped Su Jin into the carriage, and he got in as well. The coachman brought a horse-drawn carriage specifically for Xingxing to sit alone. Xingxing pouted. Why does the master want to fight with her over the carriage? Xingxing glared at the Hidden Guard. The Hidden Guard looked at Xingxing and said, "Don’t you want to see the young master sooner?" "I’ll see the young master as soon as I return to the Marquis Mansion," Xingxing said. "..." "I meant the young master that the Eldest Young Madam gave birth to the Eldest Young Master," the Hidden Guard wearily explained. Xingxing’s eyes lit up. She hurriedly crawled into the carriage behind. Inside the carriage, Su Jin looked at Xie Jingchen, who occupied her seat, feeling gloomy. That spot was the most spacious, softest, and most comfortable. Why not ride a horse instead of grabbing for the carriage with her? It’s unfair! The Hidden Guard walked toward the carriage, saw through the curtain that Su Jin sat in the seat where Xingxing once was. He climbed onto the driver’s seat and flicked the whip. The carriage moved forward. Su Jin’s body leaned backward, and Xie Jingchen smoothly caught her, placing Su Jin on his lap. Su Jin, "..." Was she just taken into his arms like this? Outrageous! Su Jin struggled to get up. The more she struggled, the tighter Xie Jingchen held her. "Sit properly," he said in a husky voice. "Let me go!" Su Jin protested. Yet with every move, something seemed to press against her. Su Jin, "..." Xie Jingchen, "..." The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Then the Hidden Guard caused trouble. Deliberately driving the carriage over a stone. The carriage made a loud thud. Su Jin’s body leaned back, and the back of her head directly bumped into Xie Jingchen’s nose. "Hiss," he groaned softly. Although her head hurt. Su Jin still thought the Hidden Guard did well. Su Jin tried hard not to laugh, her cheeks aching. Then a hand reached out to snatch her embroidered handkerchief. Su Jin held it tightly. "What are you doing?" she asked angrily. "Nosebleed." "..." Su Jin turned to see Xie Jingchen looking gloomy. The handkerchief was taken by him to wipe the nosebleed. Xie Jingchen gritted his teeth and said, "Drive properly!" The Hidden Guard on the driver’s seat felt guilty. Too much strength, resulting in the Young Master getting hurt. The Hidden Guard steadied himself and drove the carriage smoothly. But no matter how smooth a carriage is, it can’t avoid accidents. The carriage in front, loaded with timber, suddenly had its ropes break, and the timber rolled down. After one bump, another bump followed. The frightened Hidden Guard quickly said, "Young Master, it wasn’t on purpose." No one spoke, only Su Jin’s muffled laughter was audible. "Is it that funny?" These words squeezed out from Xie Jingchen’s clenched teeth; he couldn’t stand Su Jin’s gloating look and tightened his arm around Su Jin. Su Jin winced in pain but refused to beg for mercy. "Man may be forgiven for his sins, but not for the sins he deliberately commits," Su Jin said. Xie Jingchen stretched out his hand, took off a golden hairpin from Su Jin’s head, and casually threw it outside the carriage. Su Jin saw this and said, "What are you doing?!" "Don’t move," Xie Jingchen breathed heavily. Su Jin stayed still. When they arrived at the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, Su Jin learned why Xie Jingchen threw her golden hairpin. A scratch from the golden hairpin marked his face. Su Jin, "..." Hidden Guard, "..." The Hidden Guard didn’t dare to look at Xie Jingchen’s face anymore. Xingxing rubbed her head as she walked over. Seeing the scratch on Xie Jingchen’s face. She exclaimed, "How did Master get hurt on the face?" "Will it leave a scar?" she asked worriedly. "Rest assured, with me here, it won’t scar," Su Jin said. Though that person is quite annoying, leaving a scar on such an attractive face would just spite herself. Upon entering the Marquis Mansion, Prince NanAn and the others were surprised upon seeing Xie Jingchen’s face. "Did my brother-in-law encounter a master?" Su Chong asked. "Who hit you?" "We’ll help you get revenge!" Su Chong said passionately. Before Xie Jingchen could speak. Su Chong quickly backed down. "Your sister," Xie Jingchen said. Su Chong was embarrassed. He patted Xie Jingchen on the shoulder. "Accept it, for all these years, I’ve never retaliated or talked back either." "You’ll get used to it after a while." Xie Jingchen nearly spit blood.
