Chapter 981: Chapter 984: Punishment 2
Not long after, Chu Yuxiao walked into the hall, sat beside Su Yan, tucked her in, and tentatively asked, "With my punishment, are you really not mad at me?"
He knew Su Yan had feelings for Su Ya, so he handled her lightly, just worried that Su Yan would be angry with him.
Su Yan looked at him amusingly, shook her head, "Your decision is good. She can’t stay in the Imperial Palace, doesn’t want to marry, and has done many wrong things. Let her atone in the monastery."
Actually, sometimes punishing someone doesn’t necessarily mean taking their life; there are plenty of ways to make them suffer.
Nanzhao Suya is restless; staying forever in the monastery, she must be in great pain...
Seeing that Su Yan indeed had no objection, Chu Yuxiao was delighted yet regretted that his punishment for Nanzhao Suya was too light.
If he had known Su Yan wasn’t angry, he might as well have sent her to a freezing place to do hard labor.
"There’s one more thing, do you want to hear it?" Chu Yuxiao asked with a smile in his eyes.
Su Yan looked into his eyes and nodded, "What is it?"
"I’ve decided to issue an edict, revoking the titles of several people from the Nan Zhao Family. They will never be able to step out of the courtyard. What do you think? Of course, if the punishment is too light, you can handle it yourself. Even if you demand their heads, it doesn’t matter."
"You want me to handle it?" Su Yan was a bit surprised. She wasn’t good at punishing people, yet he put it on her.
Chu Yuxiao waited for her to say this and immediately replied with a smile: "Then leave it to me."
Su Yan felt something off in his words, was about to ask when Chu Yuxiao quickly changed the subject, "Did the child move today?"
He placed his hand on Su Yan’s abdomen, gently caressing it.
Mentioning the child, Su Yan happily forgot about other things, "So tiny, how could it move every day..."
"Let me listen." Saying this, he lifted the quilt and carefully pressed his ear against Su Yan’s belly.
Actually, he couldn’t hear anything, but he loved the feeling. Nestling with her, feeling their child...
Su Yan looked at him full of happiness, reflecting on past events. So grateful that they persevered and could finally be together forever...
The next day, Su Yan understood the meaning of Chu Yuxiao’s words from the day before. He didn’t punish the few brothers from the Nan Zhao Family as he said, but instead demoted them to commoners and exiled them to the border.
