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

After arriving at the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence, Shangguan Tang and Ying Yufu went straight to the secluded courtyard where Ying Zhuoxiu was.

However, they were stopped halfway by Liu Xueyan, the Second Prince, and Ying Hengzhi.

"Sister-in-law, you've gone back home, aren't you going to see my second brother? He injured his leg, doesn't your wife know?"

Liu Xueyan stepped forward, her eyes filled with a hint of probing.

She wanted to know what Shangguan Tang was thinking behind all the commotion he'd been causing these past few days.

She didn't believe she really wanted a divorce.

She was just making a scene, saying she didn't want to continue giving in to the eldest son's family.

Perhaps it was the incident at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and the fact that the Second Prince had declared he would not grant Ying Yufu the position of principal wife, that finally provoked Shangguan Tang.

When people encounter unpleasant things, they always want to fight back.

However, no matter how angry she was, she should still be worried when she heard that her second brother was injured.

"He was injured, but you, his good sister-in-law, are taking care of him. I don't need to worry about you. With you here, I'm completely at ease!"

Shangguan Tang's face was mocking as she sternly called out, "Good sister-in-law."

Liu Xueyan covered her lips, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes as she lowered her head.

Shangguan Tang was still jealous as expected.

That makes things easier.

She looked up and smiled at Shangguan Tang, "Sister-in-law, why do you have to be like this? In other households, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?"

Your second brother has been married to you for so many years and has never taken a concubine. What more could you possibly want?

Other women envy you so much, why are you so upset?

Shangguan Tang was disgusted by what she said and said coldly, "So, sister-in-law wants to be Ying Nanyao's concubine?"

"If my sister-in-law is willing, I wouldn't mind letting Ying Nanyao take you as a concubine."

Liu Xueyan's face suddenly froze.

She stared at Shangguan Tang as if she'd seen a ghost, her face darkening. "Sister-in-law, I'm giving you this advice out of kindness, don't be ungrateful."

Shangguan Tang sneered, "I genuinely want to take you as a concubine for my husband, so that my sister-in-law won't have to call me 'second brother' all the time. Wouldn't it be better to just call me 'husband' from now on?"

"you--"

[Haha, host, your mother is right!]

Xiao Dian burst into laughter in Ying Yufu's mind.

[This time, Liu Xueyan's scheming and manipulative nature is really going to be exposed, hahaha.]

The mechanical voice echoed in Ying Yufu's mind, and she rubbed her temples, a smile involuntarily curving her lips.

"Second Aunt, my mother meant well, why do you have to insult her like that?"

Ying Hengzhi's eyes reddened, and she looked at Shangguan Tang with a pitiful expression.

It's as if Shangguan Tang is some kind of vicious younger sister-in-law who bullies the eldest son's family.

The second prince tenderly embraced Ying Hengzhi; they were no longer trying to hide their feelings.

Shangguan Tang looked at them with disgust. Why had she ever thought the Second Prince was a reliable person before?

If it weren't for Fu'er's fortuitous encounter, her life would have been ruined by such scum.

Good luck!

Shangguan Tang said coldly, "Ying Hengzhi, the things your mother did were not even as good as what a concubine did."

At least other people's concubines have a title and status, but your mother is a thief and a prostitute, she can't be brought to the table.

My aunt was trying to help her out of kindness, why aren't you and your daughter grateful?

Ying Hengzhi stared in surprise.

That sounds awful.

Her tears welled up in her eyes and then fell instantly.

"Lady Ying, your words are too harsh. This is not something a marquis's wife should say."

The Second Prince said with a stern face.

"I was merely speaking the truth. Is Your Highness going to reprimand me for the sake of this mother and daughter?"

The prince said in a deep voice, "Lady Ying, I will not reprimand you for Fu'er's sake. You only need to apologize to Zhi'er and her mother."

Shangguan Tang smiled, "Your Highness, Second Prince, don't forget that the one you are betrothed to is my Fu'er. We have formally exchanged marriage certificates and tokens as the legal wife."

Now you're trying to force me to apologize to others. Could it be that the Second Prince doesn't want to acknowledge this marriage and wants to annul the engagement with me, Fu'er?

If that's the case, Your Highness, the Second Prince, might consider informing His Majesty and requesting that he issue an edict to annul the engagement.

The Second Prince's eyes darkened, and he said, "When did I ever say I wanted to annul the engagement? Lady Ying, Fu'er is destined to be my person for life, and annulment is impossible."

However, Fu'er cannot bypass her cousin; this prince will welcome her into the family with the most solemn ceremony befitting a concubine.

Shangguan Tang's face suddenly turned cold: "The Second Prince's thinking is far too simplistic."

"Is Lady Ying disrespectful to me?" The Second Prince's face also turned cold.

Ying Hengzhi clutched the Second Prince's robe with her small hands, leaning against his chest, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Highness, please don't blame your second aunt. She's just in a bad mood."

The second prince looked at the girl in his arms with doting eyes. "Zhi'er, you're so kind, how can I not worry about you?"

He sighed, "Madam Yinghou, Zhi'er is magnanimous and doesn't want to argue with you. You really shouldn't have said those hurtful things."

I heard you have a plant of ambergris; please bring it over for Lord Ying, he has injured his leg and needs it.”

Behind Shangguan Tang, Shi Shu, who was holding the box of dragon's saliva grass, changed his expression and silently tightened his grip.

Shangguan Tang's face turned ugly, and he was about to make a sarcastic remark when Ying Yufu stepped forward and stopped him.

"Mother, the Second Prince is still a prince. If word gets out, people will think we are disrespecting a prince."

The second prince immediately looked at Ying Yufu, a satisfied expression on his face.

"Fu'er, you are indeed sensible."

He was very pleased.

Seeing how close he and Zhi'er were, Fu'er didn't get jealous or fight over him, which shows that she was still very obedient and docile.

His gaze softened considerably, and even when he looked at Shangguan Tang, there was less displeasure.

Shangguan Tang looked at his daughter.

Ying Yufu smiled and said, "Mother, we should handle our own family matters. His Highness the Second Prince wouldn't interfere in the family affairs of his subjects."

Shangguan Tang had a gut feeling that her daughter was up to something.

Sure enough, the next moment, Ying Yufu walked up to the Second Prince and smiled at him.

She was already beautiful, with a soft and delicate appearance, and when she smiled, she looked even more harmless and innocent.

The second prince's eyes flickered, and he reached out to pull her into his arms as well.

The elder sister is charming and generous, the younger sister is cute and gentle, the sisters live in harmony, what a blessing to have two wives!

However, the next moment, Ying Yufu grabbed Ying Hengzhi's hair, pulled her out of the Second Prince's embrace, dragged her to the open ground, and slapped her four or five times.

She's now strong enough to lift a thousand-pound boulder, and she showed no mercy as she delivered those four or five heavy slaps.

Ying Hengzhi felt numbness on her face, dizziness in her head, and a buzzing in her ears.

She instinctively tried to open her mouth, but as soon as she did, a mouthful of blood spurted out. Upon closer inspection, she could see two large teeth mixed in with the blood.

"Oh, so easily defeated?"

Ying Yufu looked completely innocent, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she had no idea what she had just done.

Second Prince: ?

The second prince stood frozen in place.

Until Liu Xueyan screamed and lunged forward.

Seeing this, Ying Yufu grabbed Ying Hengzhi's hair and dragged her backward like a sack.

"Auntie, please don't come any closer! You're pregnant; if anything happens to you, don't blame me!"

Liu Xueyan clutched her stomach, looking at Ying Yufu in horror.

"Fu'er, what are you doing? Let go of Zhi'er!" The Second Prince finally reacted and rushed forward.

Ying Yufu seemed startled and turned to run away.

"Ah, don't come any closer! My cousin's broken front tooth has absolutely nothing to do with me!"

She was like a startled fawn, running away with her head down, seemingly forgetting that she was still clutching something in her hand.

Ying Hengzhi was grabbed by the hair and dragged along like an object.

She tried to scream, but everything went black and she passed out.
