Lin Sisi turned around and looked at Chu Jinling, feeling as though her heart was being bathed in honey.

She embraced Chu Jinling and said softly, “Jinling, I’ll give the whip to Dr. Su. Can you protect me in the future?”

“Of course!” Chu Jinling responded straightforwardly. “In the future, if anyone dares to bully you, I’ll be responsible for catching them, and you can deal with them! If things go wrong, well face it together!”

“Yes, that’s the deal!” Lin Sisi agreed, and their exchange mirrored the innocence of children making a promise.

Meanwhile, Su Yingxue was pleased. She tied the red jade soft whip back to her waist. “Since that’s settled, I won’t stand on ceremony.”

Having already indulged in some public displays of affection, it was best to take the whip back.

“I’ve already taken care of it, Auntie. Don’t worry!” Chu Jinling winked at her.

Su Yingxue returned home and waited calmly for a day.

The next day, rumors began circulating among the people.

“I heard the people from Tongchang Medical Center were arrested. They were innocent! Everyone from the clinic has been thrown into prison!”

“It was the Seventh Prince who arrested them, but no reason was given. 1 heard they even used torture!”

“Oh my, the person in the Ministry of Justice’s prison hasn’t just been beaten, but is also covered in blood! How pitiful!”

Rumors spread faster than the wind. In less than a day, the entire Jiang Du City knew that Chu Chengye had captured and tortured people.

Chu Chengye sat in the Ministry of Justice. The Assistant Minister of Justice was sweating profusely. “Your Highness, these rumors are a force to be reckoned with. Now that they are getting more and more intense, can we choose a date to hold a court hearing?”

If this dragged on, not to mention the rumors among the people, even the emperor would have to ask about this matter!

The atmosphere around Chu Chengye turned cold. “Su Yingxue, she dared to use such a trick instead of coming to me? Does she think I’ll yield?”

“My lord! Report!” A bailiff came to report that a large crowd had gathered at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice. They were all requesting for a trial of the Tongchang Medical Center case. If the trial was not to be held, they would be released.

“How dare they! Disperse them!” The Assistant Minister of Justice was visibly trembling.

Their Ministry of Justice’s strict reputation was already not a good thing. Every time a case was tried, there would be a large number of people watching. Now that the case had been dragging on for so long without being tried, he was extremely troubled.

However, this prince sitting there was extremely popular, and offending him was not an option.

Chu Chengye’s face turned grim. After he saw the Assistant Minister of Justice sending people out, the bailiff returned to report that more and more people were gathering at the door. They were being led by a woman who demanded an immediate court hearing, or else she threatened to go to the Imperial Court and beat the Dengwen Drum to voice her grievances.

“Su Yingxue!” Chu Chengye’s expression changed drastically.

Without seeking him, she dared to beat the Dengwen Drum.

Accompanied by the public, Su Yingxue pounded the Dengwem Drum outside the palace, surprising the ministers of the Hall of Diligent Government. She observed from a distance that after the court session ended, the ministers began leaving the palace.

When Liang Jin emerged, he was accompanied by a high-ranking official in purple attire. Liang Jin said, “Miss Su, the emperor has decreed an immediate trial, presided over jointly by the Capital Prefecture, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Justice, and the three departments.”

This outcome far exceeded Su Yingxue’s expectations.

She had anticipated the emperor forcing Chu Chengye to hold a court session to appease public sentiment. Yet, her drumming resulted in a joint trial by the three departments.

She suddenly missed Chu Yihan and wanted to share this news with him.

But upon reaching the Ministry of Justice, she found Chu Yihan present, seated at the head of the hearing..
