CHAPTER 511: CHAPTER 511 APOLOGY

Inside the room.

Su Jin was copying Buddhist scriptures.

Xingxing stood by, fanning.

Watching Su Jin use most of the day to copy a Buddhist scripture.

Xingxing felt that her young lady might be stuck to the chair for the next three days.

After finishing one, Su Jin put down the brush and gently rubbed her wrist.

She still wasn’t used to writing with a calligraphy brush.

After resting for a while, Su Jin picked up the brush and continued to dip it in ink and copy.

Outside, Xie Jingchen pushed the door and walked in.

He walked up to the desk, glanced at her, and asked, "What made you think of copying Buddhist scriptures?"

Su Jin glanced at him, "It wasn’t me who thought of it, your two sisters came by, and Princess Nanzhang wanted them to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for rain. Since it’s a good deed, I decided to copy them."

If it wasn’t a good deed, she wouldn’t be this diligent.

Although she felt that copying Buddhist scriptures wasn’t very useful.

Xie Jingchen handed her a silver note.

Five thousand taels.

Xingxing’s eyes lit up.

Master-in-law is really good.

As soon as he got money, he handed it over to the young lady.

Su Jin put down the brush, took the silver note, and asked curiously, "Where did this silver note come from?"

"The wife of the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Eldest Young Madam of the Zhao family, is pregnant," Xie Jingchen said.

"This silver note was given to me by the Heir of Marquis Beining to pass on to you."

So it was her consultation fee.

Su Jin handed the silver note back to Xie Jingchen, saying, "I didn’t intend to accept her consultation fee."

The Eldest Young Madam Zhao was the cousin-in-law of the Heir of Marquis Beining.

Consider it as giving the Heir of Marquis Beining a bit of face.

"Are you sure you don’t want it?" Xie Jingchen asked.

"Of course not."

Xingxing really wanted to take the silver note.

But since Su Jin repeatedly said no, she held herself back.

Xie Jingchen reached out to take the silver note, and Su Jin’s expression remained unchanged.

With the Beauty Pavilion, the pharmacy and Conscience Ice Shop, business was booming, and she wasn’t worried about having no money to use.

Xie Jingchen handed the silver note to the Hidden Guard, asking him to return it to the Heir of Marquis Beining.

Su Jin continued copying Buddhist scriptures while Xie Jingchen read in the room.

Occasionally, he’d glance up at Su Jin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.

The Heir of Marquis Beining came riding in on horseback.

He dismounted, tied up the horse, and strolled into the mansion.

The first to greet him was Little Black.

Circling around his feet.

Only then did Young Master Su and the Ninth Prince arrive.

Young Master Su looked at the Heir of Marquis Beining, "Brother Mu, you really came to the Marquis Mansion to escape trouble."

"How did you predict so accurately?" The Heir of Marquis Beining was astonished.

"Yes, Uncle Mu predicted you would come to the Marquis Mansion to escape, and he sent a servant to find you. He’s been waiting for you for half a day," said Young Master Su.

The Heir of Marquis Beining, "..."

From afar, a servant ran over, "Young Master, you’re finally here."

The Heir of Marquis Beining turned around.

The servant approached, "The Marquis said if you don’t apologize to your cousin, it’s like he doesn’t have this son."

Again with this threat!

He’s heard it so many times he’s tired of it.

And yet it never fails.

"I know," the Heir of Marquis Beining said gloomily.

After the servant left, the Heir of Marquis Beining went to see Su Chong, then rode to the Zhao family, encountering the Hidden Guard who was looking for him on the way.

Zhao Family.

The Heir of Marquis Beining sat on horseback, watching the Zhao family plaque glisten under the sunlight.

The servants looked at him without much response.

The Heir of Marquis Beining felt a bit heavy-hearted.

The attitude of his uncle and aunt towards him was reflected in the servants.

If his aunt favored him, the servants would be attentive.

If his aunt disapproved, the servants would act indifferently.

He dismounted and entered the mansion with a stiff head.

He headed straight to the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice’s residence.

Hmm.

There were quite a few people.

The Eldest Young Madam Zhao had been married for three years and was finally pregnant, causing excitement throughout the Zhao family, led by Mrs. Zhao, as well as her family who came upon hearing the news.

Seeing the Heir of Marquis Beining, the maids and grannies expressed gratitude and resentment.

Gratitude was obvious; without the cousin’s help in consulting a doctor from the Dongxiang Marquis Mansion, the Eldest Young Madam wouldn’t know when she’d become pregnant.

As for resentment, naturally, it was because the Heir of Marquis Beining had beaten up the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Initially, only the Eldest Young Madam was bedridden, but in the end, the Eldest Young Master went out happily and was carried back.

Besides the bedridden Eldest Young Madam, another bedridden person was added—the Eldest Young Master.

Moreover!

Madam was afraid the Eldest Young Master’s bruised appearance would frighten the Eldest Young Madam, so she didn’t allow him inside and sent him to the small side courtyard to recover.

Knowing the Heir of Marquis Beining came, Mrs. Zhao, holding onto a maid’s hand, came out with a smile on her face.

The Heir of Marquis Beining was a bit confused, "Aunt isn’t mad at me for beating up cousin?"

"Just a minor injury, a few days’ rest will heal it," Mrs. Zhao said.

The Heir of Marquis Beining returned the silver note, "This was given to me by cousin, but the doctor won’t accept it."

Mrs. Zhao was momentarily taken aback, "This money must be given; take it back to him."

The Heir of Marquis Beining nodded.

He wanted to apologize to the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice but was told he was in the side courtyard, so he headed there.

Hmm.

He couldn’t enter the side courtyard.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice refused to see him.

The Heir of Marquis Beining felt a surge of anger.

Refusing to see him?

If his father hadn’t forced him, he wouldn’t have come!

No meeting, then no meeting, the Heir of Marquis Beining flicked his folded fan and turned to leave.

By this time, it was near evening, and the Heir of Marquis Beining planned to visit the Prince Zhenbei Mansion the next day.

The next day, the Heir of Marquis Beining and Chu Shun returned from fishing.

The Heir of Marquis Beining persuaded Prince NanAn to accompany him to Prince Zhenbei Mansion.

Upon entering the city, they saw the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The Heir of Marquis Beining furrowed his brows tightly.

Chu Shun looked at him, "Didn’t you say your cousin won’t see you? Why do I feel like he’s purposely waiting for you?"

"Did I beat him into some problem?" The Heir of Marquis Beining was a bit worried.

Offering himself and being refused.

Now he’s purposely seeking him out.

Why does he so badly want to hit him again?

The Heir of Marquis Beining rode forward, not looking sideways.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice appeared gloomy; he didn’t want to come but had no choice.

Agarwood Pavilion, inner room.

Su Jin rubbed her neck.

Xingxing said with concern, "Miss has been copying Buddhist scriptures all morning, time to rest?"

Su Jin didn’t want to rest.

But she feared that resting would prevent her from finishing the Buddhist scriptures.

"I’m fine," Su Jin said.

Outside, a maid knocked on the door, "Heir’s wife, the Heir of Marquis Beining and his group are here to see you."

See her?

Su Jin raised an eyebrow.

She put down the wolf hair brush she had just picked up and went to see the Heir of Marquis Beining and his group.

They weren’t in the main hall but had gone to the backyard to see Xie Jingchen.

Su Jin went to the backyard to meet them.

Inside the bamboo house.

Prince NanAn and Xie Jingchen were playing chess.

Chu Shun and the Heir of Marquis Beining watched the match.

Hearing footsteps approach, the Heir of Marquis Beining stepped out.

Upon seeing Su Jin, the first thing he did was offer the silver note, "Sister-in-law, this five thousand taels, Aunt sent me to give to you again, and insisted you must accept it."

Su Jin was half crying, half laughing, "Did you come all this way just to deliver this five thousand taels?"

In this sweltering heat, they really aren’t afraid of sunburn.

"There’s another matter," the Heir of Marquis Beining said.

"What matter?" Su Jin asked curiously.

The Heir of Marquis Beining scratched his forehead, "Isn’t it that cousin-in-law was infertile for three years, and got pregnant after seeing a doctor from Dongxiang Marquis Mansion?"

"As soon as the news spread, many people are asking for the prescription under the guise of visiting cousin-in-law."

"The prescription was written by Sister-in-law, and cousin-in-law and Aunt didn’t dare give it away, so they asked me to inquire."

Hmm.

Mrs. Zhao entrusted this matter to the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

The Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice couldn’t come to Prince Zhenbei Mansion with a face full of injuries, so he had to rely on the Heir of Marquis Beining.

The Heir of Marquis Beining is a good cousin and wouldn’t hold a grudge against Cousin.

Helping to relay a message only cost the Junior Minister of the Ministry of Justice three years of salary.
