Jiang Ning glanced at Wenren Zong.

Wenren Zong was lying silently with his face towards the wall.

All of his secrets had been spilled out by the women in his household.

How could he maintain his aloof image as Master Thirteen.

Seven or eight sisters were crowding around Jiang Ning. One caressed her hair, one patted her cheek, another attempted to touch her waist but was promptly stopped by Jiang Yi.

“Sisters, you can continue chatting with Master Thirteen, we won’t disturb you. Let’s go, sister,” he pushed Jiang Ning’s wheelchair as the two siblings made their collective escape.

Jiang Ning thought they were here to take Thirteen home, but unexpectedly, they came to visit in such a bustling manner but ultimately left together without Thirteen.

When Lin Zizi heard that her best friend was visiting, she specially came over to meet her, expressing her extreme guilt.

Madam Wenren laughed and said, “What’s a slight injury to a man? Zizi, don’t dwell on this matter.”

“This matter…”

“I already know about it. It was the Prince of Yu who did it.” Madam Wenren took her hand, “Thirteen would do anything for the woman he loves, whether it’s getting injured or whatever, it’s all his own will. Now that I’m here today, let me ask you, do you agree to this marriage?”

“The Prime Minister and I have discussed it. We have no objections to this matter, as long as Ningning is willing.”

“Then start preparing?”

“But Ningning is still undecided.”

“Why?”

“After all, our Ningning is not an ordinary maiden. Given her condition… she is still hesitating whether to remarry or not.”

“How old is she? Fifteen or sixteen?”

“She will be sixteen after the new year.”

“At the tender age of sixteen, are you planning to have her live as a widow for the rest of her life? She must still marry when the time comes.”

Lin Zizi laughed and said, “I know that you won’t mind Ningning’s circumstances.”

“How could I be so rigid?”

“Because we know you’re not, the Prime Minister and I have no objections to this marriage. Otherwise, we’d definitely not let Ningning remarry and suffer.”

Madam Wenren patted her hand: “Just because she is your daughter, I will love her like my own. Rest assured.”

Lin Zizi laughed and said: “Li’er, you were originally against this marriage, weren’t you?”

“With you, I don’t have to hide anything. Initially, I did dissuade Thirteen not to cross paths with the Prince of Yu. Now, the Prince of Yu beating Thirteen publicly clearly shows he hasn’t let go of Ningning from your family. Am I wrong?”

Lin Zizi remained silent.

Everyone was now aware of the Prince of Yu’s feelings towards Jiang Ning.

If he truly let go, why would he bother who Jiang Ning socialises with.

The Fifth Prince, publicly beating an official of the imperial court, and even over a woman unrelated to him. This matter couldn’t possibly be settled so easily.

The chastisement of the historian, the imperial censor, the gossip of the people, the outrage of the courtiers, all would inevitably pressure the Emperor to punish the Prince of Yu.

The Prince of Yu had a good reputation among the court officials over the years, and this incident would cause a steep decline in his stature.

This will surely affect the succession matter.

No matter what angle one considers, the Prince of Yu commiting such an act was a huge mistake.

Especially considering that the Wenren family weren’t nobodies to be bullied easily.

Although Madam Wenren and her daughters seemed calm, how could they not be upset when their child was beaten up this bad?

They were also angry at the imperial family’s overbearing demeanor.

Even though they were already divorced, there was still so much interference and obstruction..
