Su Ziqin, a female student at the Imperial Academy, was accused of being arrogant and bullying others. Using her status as a candidate for a Female Official, she had forcibly pressured her own son to break off his engagement and marry her cousin instead.

The Imperial Court was a power institution directly under the Empress. When the Empress saw the impeachment memo, her face immediately darkened, and she ordered the Supervision Department to thoroughly investigate the matter.

The students of the Imperial Academy involved in this matter were detained first before their cases could be handled after the truth was found out.

Su Ziqin was struck by disaster on the night of the first day of the new year, when she was taken away by the Supervision Department and temporarily detained.

Fortunately, Grand Commander Xu Ruyun of the Supervision Department knew her well.

Out of consideration for Su Qingluo, he just ordered someone to interrogate her for the reasons and take her statement without being harsh on her.

Wu Xin, a concubine-born son of the Wu Clan, was a coward. As soon as the female official from the Supervision Department showed up at his door and revealed her identity, he was terrified, fell to his knees, and shivered non-stop as if he was hit by a ghost.

The female official from the Supervision Department watched coldly as someone grabbed him by the arm and dragged him out of the Wu Mansion and threw him into the prison.

Even before torture was used, Wu Xin confessed everything, from how he cheated Li Meng to how he wanted to use him to get closer to Su Ziqin and brag about it in front of a group of young aristocrats.

The Supervision Department’s female official recorded the confession, had him put his fingerprints and seals on it, and reported it to the Empress.

Wu Xin had malicious intentions and cheated innocent girls, so he was at fault.

Su Ziqin’s dissatisfaction caused her to hit someone in response.

After learning the truth, the Empress ordered Wu Xin to be punished with a hundred blows, his clerical position stripped, and he was sent to a coal mine for hard labor for half a year.

Su Ziqin was punished for trespassing into a private residence and beating someone in public; she was ordered to reflect on her actions for three months behind closed doors.

Old Master Wu falsely accused an Imperial Academy student; his salary was frozen for a year, and he was allowed to retire early and return home to live out his days.

With the Empress’s personal decree, the Wu Clan and Su Clan became mortal enemies.

Not to mention marrying Wu Xin, even becoming his concubine would be something the Wu Clan would absolutely refuse for Li Meng.

Li Meng’s uncle and his wife resented Wu Xin for his malicious intentions and deceit towards their daughter, and they didn’t want to have anything to do with the Wu Clan ever again.

On the fifth day of the new year, upon hearing the news, they refused to compromise, and they forcibly took their daughter back to the countryside despite her tearful outbursts and pleas for life and death.

Su Ziqin was innocently implicated and had to go through three months of closed-door reflection.

On the sixth day of the first month, the school started, and she not only couldn’t attend classes but also had to endure all the gossip that spread throughout the Imperial Academy.

Upon returning to the countryside on the eighth day of the first month, Su Hu and his wife, who learned about the incident, were beside themselves with worry.

On the same day, they rushed to Capital City to accompany their innocent and suffering daughter.

The bad news from the Capital City cast a shadow over the New Year’s celebrations.

After Su Hu and his wife left, Su Zixuan took on the responsibility of an elder brother and looked after his younger siblings.

The Little Prince, Maodou, and Sister Wan were six years old and already understood what was happening. They could sense the low atmosphere at home, and they behaved obediently under the care of their older brother and sister.

Black Soybean was only four years old and still in the naive and mischievous stage, so he continued to be carefree and happy.

As the Little Prince was very intelligent, Su Qingluo taught him medical skills in his spare time, starting with the basics of identifying medicinal plants and memorizing herbal formulas.

So far, he could recite hundreds of formulas without missing a word.

He had a clear memory of the common medicinal plants, from their uses to their effects.

During the New Year’s break at home, Su Qingluo intended to have him review his previous lessons and deepen his impression. She placed the collected medicinal plants one by one on the shelves in the warehouse, allowing him to replace the required materials based on an ancient method for treating chest congestion and coughing.

Being very smart, the Little Prince knew that his sister was testing him. He took a small basket and went to the warehouse without panic.

He silently recited the ancient method in his heart and checked the shelves one by one. In a short while, he found all the medicinal materials and happily ran back to report.
