Chu Mingyuan’s expression darkened. “Go fetch Wu Hongtao. Have him take his wife away. As for these two… execute them!”
...Lin Aotian nodded and replied, “I will carry out your command.”
Chu Mingyuan’s pleasant mood for the afternoon was shattered. “The spring banquet is such a grand event, and yet these individuals engaged in such vile behavior. Lin Qin is also at fault for not noticing!”
Lin Qin trembled and knelt. “Please spare me, Emperor. I acknowledge my wrongdoing.”
“Forget it. Go back and reflect on your actions. Leave the matter of the Ministry of Rites to Ye’er.” With a flick of his sleeve, Chu Mingyuan walked away into the forest.
Su Yingxue blended into the crowd, a cool smile curling her lips. She thought to herself that Chu Mingyuan truly valued Chu Chengye.
Chu Chengye had indeed reaped unexpected benefits from her actions.
But she wouldn’t allow him to have it so easily!
At the archery practice field, she found the spirited Lin Sisi. Her arrows soared like meteors, swift, precise, and relentless. Each arrow hit the bullseye, leaving the nearby practicing princes and young masters in awe.
When Lin Sisi saw Su Yingxue approaching, she greeted her enthusiastically with her bow. “Dr. Su, are you feeling better? Do you want to practice archery together? Oh, 1 heard from Father that something happened in your room. Are you alright?”
Su Yingxue shook her head. “It’s not me who’s in trouble, and 1 wasn’t even in the room.”
“That’s good.”
Lin Sisi was candid, not overthinking the situation. Instead, she kept inviting Su Yingxue to practice archery and even proposed teaming up for the competition, aiming to win the emperor’s reward.
Su Yingxue understood that the most significant part of the spring banquet was the hunting competition, where teams competed to hunt the most game.
Those who achieved the most would be rewarded. And those who hunted formidable beasts like lions, black bears, or tigers would receive additional prizes.
In the past, no one had been willing to partner with Lin Sisi, so she had never won. This time, she wanted to team up with Su Yingxue, secure the reward, and simultaneously show those who had been unwilling to join forces with her before just how capable she was.
Su Yingxue agreed immediately. However, she frowned and pretended to be thinking. “The emperor’s rewards are enticing, but there’s a grudge 1 need to address. It’s not something that can be substituted by rewards.”
“Do you want to vent your anger, Dr. Su? I can help you give him a beating!” Lin Sisi eagerly flexed her fists. But, recalling her father’s advice, she cocked her head and suggested, “My father said I shouldn’t cause a scene here. But if you want to take out your frustration, we could secretly tie a sack around that person and give him a good thrashing!”
“He’s a prince. Beating him up would indeed be letting him off too easily!” Su Yingxue sighed.
If other noble ladies heard about her intention to beat up a prince, they would have distanced themselves from her in an instant.
However, Lin Sisi’s eyes brightened. “Dr. Su, which prince do you want to beat up? Is it the Third Prince?”
A faint smile appeared on Su Yingxue’s lips. “I want to deal with his younger brother, the Seventh Prince.”
“I want to beat the Third Prince. Dr. Su, how about this? At the banquet tonight, when they’re tipsy, we could discreetly tie them up and give them a sound beating!” As Lin Sisi spoke, she rubbed her palms together. She wished she could use a gunny sack to tie Chu Xiuwen up right now!
“This method is not practical. If we beat them up and investigate them, it will be your father General Lin’s dereliction of duty.”
Lin Sisi suddenly understood. “You’re right! We mustn’t implicate my father. But…”
Seeing the frustrated expression on her face, Su Yingxue reassured her, “We’ll come up with another plan..”
