Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

The Wang family originated from merchants, and they were the wealthiest family in Yuzhou.

Over the years, the Yuan family has asked the Wang family for money quite a bit.

Wang believed that her two children were good.

Even now, looking at her daughter before her, she asked, "Yingshuang, what... what did you say?"

She clutched her chest, her face deathly pale.

Yuan Yingshuang was not guilty at all; on the contrary, she was self-righteous and said, "Mother, I know you feel uncomfortable saying this."

However, your father has only just had an accident, and you already want a divorce. I'm afraid I cannot agree to that.

Wang originally thought her two children were better than He's, but now it seems they are no better than each other.

Yuan Yingshuang was completely oblivious to the chill in Wang's eyes, or rather, she simply didn't care what Yuan thought.

She said, "Mother, I have a way to rescue Father."

Wang was utterly disappointed in her daughter, but she was still very curious about what she could say.

So he asked curiously, "What method?"

"Let me be the Crown Prince's concubine... or even a mistress."

I am confident that once I enter the Eastern Palace, I will be able to win the Crown Prince's heart.

Ying Yufu also has a merchant background. If the Crown Prince doesn't look down on her, he probably won't look down on the Wang family for being merchants either.

"Mother, once I enter the Eastern Palace, the Wang family's status will rise accordingly."

Wang thought to herself, "How can they be the same?"

Princess Anguo may have a merchant background, but she also has the background of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

But seeing the stubbornness in Yuan Yingshuang's eyes, Wang said, "Whether you want to be the Crown Prince's concubine or a mistress, it's up to you."

"As long as you have the ability to enter the Eastern Palace."

Yuan Yingshuang's expression brightened with joy, and she said, "Mother agrees? Since Mother agrees, then please write a letter to the Wang family and ask them to take out 500,000 taels of gold as my stepping stone to enter the Eastern Palace."

Wang was so angry she almost fainted.

She stared at Yuan Yingshuang in disbelief. "Yuan Yingshuang, five hundred thousand taels of gold? You really dare to ask for that!"

Yuan Yingshuang frowned and said, "Mother, 100,000 taels is a lot. Think about it, once I successfully enter the Eastern Palace, the benefits I can bring to the Wang family will be more than 500,000 taels."

Putting aside other things, just look at how much the Wang family has benefited from the Yuan family since you married your father all these years ago.

Wang felt a chill run through her body. "You're saying the Wang family benefited from the Yuan family?"

That's right. At first, the two families arranged the marriage with their own interests in mind, but later they found that the Wang family could not get any benefit from the Yuan family at all.

On the contrary, the Wang family became the Yuan family's blood bag.

Over the years, the Yuan family has been exploiting the Wang family.

If it weren't for her family's sake, why would she have had to endure all these years?

Now things are really messed up. It's not enough for the Yuan family to be sucking the blood of the Wang family; even her daughter is eyeing the Wang family.

With a sorrowful look in her eyes, Madam Wang said indifferently, "Yuan Yingshuang, the Wang family will not give you a single penny."

"If you have the ability, then go seduce the Crown Prince. If you don't, then obediently stay in the Yuan family and let your grandfather arrange a marriage for you."

Yuan Yingshuang hadn't expected Wang Shi to say that. She said, "Mother, am I your own daughter? It was Grandfather who sent me to seduce the Crown Prince."

Madam Wang said calmly, "It's not that your mother doesn't give you money, but... over the years, Madam Wang has been sending money to Madam Yuan every year. The Wang family has been completely drained."

"My mother harbored such deep resentment towards the Yuan family, but I heard that back then, it was my mother and the Wang family who insisted on her marrying my father."

"Don't you think it's shameless of you to want both?"

Snapped!

Wang slapped Yuan Yingshuang across the face. Yuan Yingshuang was so angry that her face turned pale and her voice trembled as she said, "Get out! Get out of here! I don't have a daughter like you."

Yuan Yingshuang sneered: "Mother, you will regret this."

The Yuan family is in trouble now, but once Grandfather's grand plan is completed, the Yuan family will be the local tyrants of Yuzhou. You'd better not let what you said to your daughter today reach Grandfather's ears.

Otherwise, the Wang family would have no place to live in Yuzhou.

Once her grandfather becomes the true master of Yuzhou, her status will surely rise, and she could even replace Ying Yufu as the principal wife.

"Mother, I'll give you one night to think it over carefully."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Wang clutched her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The old nanny who had been serving Wang Shi helped her up with heartache, her eyes filled with disappointment in Yuan Yingshuang.

"I thought the young lady was sensible, but I never expected..."

Wang shook her head, her eyes filled with bitterness.

Fortunately, the letter had already been sent out.

The 100-man squad from Chrysanthemum Hall that had stormed into Marquis Anding's camp was completely captured.

After being interrogated by the Marquis of Anding and the Crown Prince, they directly discovered the location of the 100,000-strong army of Juhuatang in Yuzhou.

It is located in Qinghuang Mountain, and only fifty miles away from the previous mountain stronghold.

"I never imagined that these remnants of the previous dynasty would quietly amass such a large military force within our dynasty."

Inside the tent, Marquis Anding wore a sighing expression.

The Crown Prince, seated in the main seat, said, "Now that we know their location and defenses, we can launch a surprise attack at any time, the sooner the better."

Marquis An Ding nodded, "Your Highness is absolutely right, that's what I think too."

After saying this, Marquis Anding began to issue orders one by one, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the 100,000-strong army of Chrysanthemum Hall.

Just then, a commotion broke out outside, and then the tent was suddenly lifted, and Cang Mingze strode in.

"Marquis of Anding, don't forget, Father Emperor sent you to Yuzhou to assist me!"

After several days of fever, Cang Mingze lost a lot of weight and had a scar on his forehead from being hit by a tile.

His sudden appearance surprised Ying Yufu, the Crown Prince, and the Marquis of Anding.

Because Cang Mingze looked so pale and fragile, as if he had become a completely different person.

So skinny, it looks like it could be blown over by the wind; it's quite pitiful.

Everyone in the tent gasped. This person was actually the Second Prince!

Seeing everyone in the tent staring at him in silence, Cang Mingze couldn't help but sneer:

"Why is the Marquis of Anding silent? Is he feeling guilty?"

Marquis of Anding: "..."

Cang Mingze, arrogant and domineering, sneered, "Marquis of Anding, I will not allow that so-called surprise attack you just mentioned."

Just kidding, Chrysanthemum Hall is his man, Chrysanthemum Hall's 100,000-strong army is equivalent to his army.

How could he just stand by and watch them wipe out his 100,000-strong army?

Fortunately, he arrived in time.

His expression was cold as he looked at the Crown Prince: "Crown Prince, Father sent you here to promote the new grain varieties, but now you're interfering in military affairs. Are you trying to steal my credit?"

The prince raised an eyebrow. What a big compliment.

"Second Imperial Brother..."

The crown prince had barely opened his mouth when he saw Cang Mingze coldly glare at him and take two steps forward.

At Cang Mingze's feet was a small pebble.

The Crown Prince watched helplessly as Cang Mingze stepped on a small stone, slipped, bent his leg, and fell to the ground.

There was a loud "crack"!

That's the sound of bones breaking.

The prince stared incredulously as Cang Mingze's right leg bent at an unbelievable angle.

"ah--"

With a scream, all of Cang Mingze's words disappeared into his stomach. His eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

Everyone fell silent: What a satisfying leg-breaking for the Second Prince.
