The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 509 - 506: A Candy for You: Shuning Extra (2)

Chapter 509: Chapter 506: A Candy for You: Shuning Extra (2)

Jun Yu raised his eyebrows, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Jun Ning pulled Song Wei over to a soft couch on the side, sat down with her, and chatted for quite some time, very affectionately. She also introduced her niece, Jing Shu, to Song Wei, and Jing Shu invited Song Wei to join her for some fun whenever she was free.

Although Song Wei nodded repeatedly to Jun Ning and Jing Shu’s words, she still felt somewhat reserved and uncomfortable, unable to talk to Jun Ning in a relaxed manner.

This was mainly because Jun Ning was the Empress, occupying a high position. Although she was so approachable and without airs, Song Wei still had some reservations in her heart.

"Your Majesty, I..." Song Wei started to say something.

Before Song Wei could finish, Jun Ning interrupted, "Sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law, why be so polite with me? Just call me Ah Ning."

Song Wei nodded and tentatively called out, "...Ah Ning!"

Jun Ning responded with a smile, "Aye, sister-in-law."

Seeing Song Wei a bit reserved, Jun Ning said, "Sister-in-law, just treat this palace as your own home. You can go anywhere, no need to be reserved. No one here would dare to be disrespectful to you."

This was a promise.

Jun Ning’s promise to Song Wei.

Song Wei had never been treated specially from childhood to adulthood, and few people cared for her. But in the Eastern Chu Kingdom, everyone was considerate towards her, doing their best in their own ways to care for her emotions and help her quickly get familiar with everything here.

They were truly kind.

Song Wei smiled from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you, Ah Ning!"

"Why are you thanking me?" Jun Yu said, "We are family, no need for formalities."

Song Wei poked Jun Yu, "Why do you talk like that?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Jun Ning, however, said, "Sister-in-law, my brother is right, family doesn’t stand on ceremony."

"Okay." Song Wei finally conceded and stopped insisting on being formal.

Next, Jun Ning chatted with Song Wei about various things, casually inquiring after her welfare, and then everyone sat down for a lunch together. Afterwards, Jun Yu took Song Wei away.

The newlyweds seemed to have something to say to each other.

As soon as they left, Jing Shu started to cause a fuss again. This girl insisted on having Jun Ning punish Gu Ning, but Jun Ning was not a foolish ruler and naturally didn’t listen to her.

Yet she continued to make a fuss.

In the end, Jun Ning had no choice but to find a random excuse to dismiss Jing Shu.

Jing Shu was not easy to dismiss. Jun Ning coaxed and persuaded with great effort before she managed to get her to leave.

After leaving the palace, Jing Shu did not go home; she went to the Ministry of Justice. "Hmph, since my aunt won’t champion my cause, I will seek justice for myself."

Recently, the serial murder case in the Imperial City had everyone on edge, and everyone in the Ministry of Justice was extremely busy.

Gu Ning worked at the Ministry of Justice, investigating the serial murder case alongside the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

He was so focused on his work that he didn’t notice Jing Shu’s arrival.

Jing Shu approached him from behind, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, what’s got you so engrossed?"

Gu Ning was momentarily startled by the pat, but his expression remained unchanged. He turned to Jing Shu with a stern face and asked, "Who are you? What brings you to the Ministry of Justice?"

"You’re asking who I am?" Jing Shu was furious at this and angrily reminded him, "On the night of the lantern festival, you pushed me into the river, have you forgotten?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice, seeing Jing Shu’s anger, laughed awkwardly to appease her, "Commandery Princess, calm down, calm down. Gu Ning has always had a poor memory; you, being magnanimous, should not hold it against him."

Gu Ning was confused, "Sir, when have I ever had a poor memory?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice jabbed Gu Ning’s elbow and said, "When I say your memory is poor, it’s poor. Say no more."

Then, in a low voice, the Minister reminded Gu Ning, "She’s a Commandery Princess, protected by higher-ups, so we must not easily offend her. Be mindful of your position."

Commandery Princess?

The title made Gu Ning take a serious look at Jing Shu.

In this Imperial City, except for the deceased Crown Prince’s daughter, no one else would be addressed as Commandery Princess.

Gu Ning didn’t expect Jing Shu to be the Commandery Princess.

No wonder this girl could come and go freely at the Ministry of Justice, and even the Minister dared not offend her!

"I won’t calm down, I want you to apologize to me." Jing Shu pointed at Gu Ning’s nose and said.

Gu Ning didn’t know whether he wanted to avoid entangling with Jing Shu or simply wanted her to stop bothering him. Without thinking, he said, "I’m sorry."

Jing Shu didn’t expect Gu Ning to apologize so readily, though his words sounded completely insincere.

"...Your attitude is too perfunctory, I don’t accept your apology," Jing Shu said. "I want you to sincerely apologize, with the right attitude, and do it again."

Gu Ning: "..."

"Are you done?" Gu Ning didn’t care about Jing Shu’s status or who supported her; he looked at Jing Shu displeased, "If you’re looking to tease someone, find someone else. I’m busy and don’t have time to mess around with you."

Just then, there was news about the suspect in the serial murder case; a servant who had been tracking them came to report, "Minister, Scholar, the suspect is currently near the Li family’s pastry shop on South Street."

"Is the information reliable?" Gu Ning asked.

The servant nodded, "Yes, it’s reliable."

Gu Ning grabbed a sword and was about to leave, but Jing Shu still wanted to block him. She spread her arms wide, standing in Gu Ning’s path, "I won’t let you leave."

Gu Ning pushed her aside then went off to apprehend the suspect.

Gu Ning, being a martial expert, was strong, and Jing Shu was pushed onto the ground with her elbow scraped, and she began to cry.

Jing Shu was angry, "Gu Ning, you jerk, don’t let me see you next time, or I won’t let you off."

Gu Ning’s footwork was swift, and in no time, he was gone without a trace. No matter how unwilling Jing Shu might be to let him off, he couldn’t hear her.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice helped Jing Shu up with an apologetic smile and agreed, "Yes, don’t let him off." Then, politely, he said, "Commandery Princess, since you’re here, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

Heaven and earth bear witness, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice was only being polite, hoping that Jing Shu would leave soon and not delay his work. But unexpectedly, Jing Shu, being a simple-minded girl, didn’t perceive the underlying message in his words and took him seriously.

Jing Shu nodded, "I am indeed a bit thirsty and do need some water."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "..."

...

After drinking water, Jing Shu originally planned to wait for Gu Ning to return and continue discussing his apology with him. However, she waited for a very long time, and Gu Ning didn’t return.

Unable to wait any longer, she went home.

Upon returning, she was troubled by her period for a few days, forcing her to stay at home and not go anywhere.

The next time she went out was to attend a poetry meeting.

There were both men and women at the poetry meeting, with a huge crowd, bustling with people.

Jing Shu called Song Wei to come along, and at this moment, the two of them were holding hands and weaving through the crowd. Jing Shu couldn’t help but mutter, "I wonder if the Scholar will attend today’s poetry meeting?"
