You must answer within 20 days of this summon


Explanation:
First, you said this is English monolingual question, then asking question in Japanese. Because I understand Japanese, I am in good position to give you a correct (or good) answer.
Now, it says "exclusive of the day of service", this is a decisive hint point to the answer to your question. Now the summon was served (delivered) to you today. Say the day is the 1st day of the month.
You must answer the court by 21st, because the 1st is not counted (exclusive of the day of service).
If you answered after 21st, namely 22nd for instance, you are in default (means you must accept the court's decision). In other words you have gave up your rights to object the court's decision.
You asked if it means 発行日から20日以内. To answer this question, because nothing is indicated in the context about issuance date of the summon, and because the wording "exclusive of the day of service", it is not from the date of issuance of this summon.
By the way you are writing "this summons", it is wrong.
Correct English is "this summon", or "these summons" .... one way or the other. Is there more than one summon involved here?

disagree  Refugio: You are right about the time line but wrong about the summons. The word summons is singular, and "this summons" is correct.
