"Father!"

Ying Chengting's expression changed, and he stepped forward to help Ying Nanyao up and back into his wheelchair.

Ying Nanyao stared at his injured leg, where a piercing pain was emanating.

Cold sweat seeped from his forehead.

Upon seeing this, Old Liu's fingers began to twitch uncontrollably.

Ever since she fainted from the illusion at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, she has had this problem of limb twitching.

"What a terrible thing!"

Old Liu's tears streamed down her face.

Liu Xueyan and Ying Hengzhi came in and saw Old Madam Liu shedding tears.

"Grandmother, why are you crying? It makes Zhi'er very sad to see you crying like this."

Ying Hengzhi threw herself into Old Liu's arms and began to sob.

"My Zhi'er, my dear granddaughter, why is your life so miserable!"

Old Liu and Ying Hengzhi embraced and wept bitterly.

Liu Xueyan lowered her head and silently shed tears.

"Mother, second brother, we still have to invite your wife back. We absolutely cannot let her continue to cause trouble."

"At worst, I'll go and beg her!"

Liu Xueyan finally said that this time, she really wanted to ask Shangguan Tang for help.

Normally, Ying Nanyao would have comforted her and dissuaded her from suffering such injustice.

But this time, instead of trying to dissuade him, Ying Nanyao's eyes even flashed with a glimmer of hope.

To everyone's surprise, Old Lady Liu said, "No."

Ying Nanyao looked at Old Liu.

Old Lady Liu said, "Nan Yao, Shangguan Tang is your wife. Matters between husband and wife should be resolved by the couple themselves."

She's been married to you for eighteen years; it's impossible for her to have no feelings for you. Nan Yao, go and soften your stance, and beg her back.

Ying Nanyao's face visibly turned ugly.

Old Madam Liu lowered her voice, her tone sinister: "Besides, what if she dies outside? The poison of the Heart-Eating Grass is slow-acting, but what if it takes effect..."

Ying Nanyao's pupils contracted.

Old Lady Liu said, "Nanyao, don't argue with a dying person. If we coax her back, our predicament will be completely resolved."

"Only you can handle this matter. Yan'er absolutely cannot go. If she goes, not only will she fail to bring the person back, but she will also anger Shangguan Tang."

After finishing her sentence, Old Liu closed her eyes wearily.

"Grandma is right."

Ying Hengzhi looked at Ying Nanyao: "Father, only you can coax Second Aunt back. Once she comes back, Mother, Brother, and I will try to appear in front of her as little as possible."

Once she is completely devoted to you, Father, everything will be fine.

Ying Nanyao frowned and said, "She's hard to coax now. She's like she's gone mad. She can have an attack anytime, giving me no chance at all."

They also hit people at the drop of a hat.

Not only Shangguan Tang, but also that rebellious daughter Ying Yufu.

A fierce glint flashed in Ying Chengting's eyes as he said, "If Second Aunt really refuses to come back, I can ask Master for a love potion."

"As long as Shangguan Tang is infected with the love potion, she will definitely be obedient to her father in every way, without any disobedience."

Ying Nanyao's eyes lit up. "Really?"

Ying Chengting nodded, "It's true, but the love potion is too precious. Master only has one pair. However, Master loves me dearly, so I'll ask him for it. He will definitely give it to me."

He didn't say that the pair of love potions were originally prepared for him by his master.

He also intended to use her to control his future wife, because only an obedient wife could wholeheartedly use her family's influence to plan for him.

But right now, my father needs it more.

Ying Nanyao couldn't help but recall Shangguan Tang's stunningly beautiful face and her slender, girlish figure.

She suddenly became as beautiful as before, and he truly fell for her again.

Unfortunately, she was too arrogant.

He hated it very much.

If she had a love potion, wouldn't she be even more docile and obedient than before?

Old Liu's eyes also gleamed, "Chengting, Shangguan Tang is very important to our family."

Back then, for the sake of our Ying family's prosperity, your grandfather chose Shangguan Tang from among all the noble ladies in the capital, including several princesses.

As it turns out, your grandfather's choice was correct.

"Shangguan Tang has been married into our family for eighteen years, and our family has gotten better day by day. Now that we've reached this crucial moment, we absolutely cannot let her go."

Ying Chengting nodded and said, "Grandmother, rest assured, I know what's important."

Old Lady Liu said, "Since Shangguan Tang is so ungrateful, then don't blame us for using some extreme measures."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something else.

She said, "On the day Shangguan Tang moved out of her dowry, didn't she present His Majesty with a million taels of silver, two hundred thousand taels of gold, and that five-hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"

With such a large sum of money, surely we can ask His Majesty for a reward?

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Old Lady Liu.

Old Lady Liu looked at Ying Hengzhi with heartache, "Zhi'er is, after all, Shangguan Tang's niece. As her second aunt, it would be more than enough for Her Majesty to grant Zhi'er the title of Princess."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xueyan and Ying Hengzhi's eyes lit up immediately.

Ying Hengzhi's face lit up with joy. Yes, if she became a princess, then she would be fully worthy of the position of the Second Prince's principal wife.

"Tomorrow I will go to Huangjue Temple in Xishan to see my master and ask him for the love potion," Ying Chengting said.

Old Mrs. Liu nodded: "That's perfect. Our whole family will go to Huangjue Temple tomorrow. It's been a long time since Grandmother has offered incense there."

……

The Mu Residence.

The Crown Prince also returned from the palace.

Shangguan Tang spoke at length with the Crown Prince.

Most of them are about the late empress.

Ying Yufu sat quietly to the side and listened.

After Shangguan Tang had finished speaking with the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince got up to take his leave.

Ying Yufu went to see the Crown Prince off.

"The Emperor granted the request of the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing and allowed Xue Lingyi to be recognized and brought back to the Marquis of Anqing's residence."

I heard that tomorrow the old lady of the Marquis of Anqing will take her new granddaughter to Huangjue Temple to offer incense, and the people from the second branch of the Marquis of Anqing's family will also be going.

You know, the second wife was born out of wedlock, not by the old lady of Anqing Marquis. This family seems peaceful on the surface, but it's actually quite lively.

"Fu'er, I also want to go to Huangjue Temple to offer incense tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?"

Ying Yufu met the Crown Prince's interested gaze and immediately understood.

He wanted to see what would happen next after the old lady of Anqing Marquis recognized her granddaughter.

To be honest, she was curious too.

So she readily agreed, "Okay, I'll go too, and I'll bring my mother along."

"Hmm, let me ask my maternal grandmother, my second aunt, and Tan'er as well."

She wished she could bring her whole family along.

The prince's smile deepened. "Alright, Fu'er, then we'll meet at the Tomorrow Palace Temple."

The two agreed to this.

However, Ying Yufu also said, "I'll take you somewhere."

"Now?" The prince's eyes lit up.

Ying Yufu nodded.

The prince was extremely curious and followed her out of the Mu residence, heading towards North Street.

"Guangyuan Escort Agency?"

The prince looked up at the black plaque with gold characters above him and read out the words.

Ying Yufu stepped forward and knocked on the door. The dark door opened from the inside, and a doorman dressed in coarse blue cloth opened the door.

At first, the prince didn't notice, until they stepped into the gate of the escort agency, where a group of people came out to greet them.

"Young Master."

Yu Li, dressed as a wandering swordsman, came out.

The Crown Prince looked at Ying Yufu in surprise, "This Guangyuan Escort Agency is actually in the territory of the Flying Tiger Army?"

Ying Yufu said, "It's only temporary. Didn't His Majesty say that the Flying Tiger Army should operate in the shadows? I was thinking of sending them on a mission to the border."

She was a little shy and said, "Your Highness, the reason I invited you here is simply because I think my uncle is too handsome. Your disguise last time seemed simple, but it was very successful. So, I wanted to ask you for help."

The crown prince was momentarily shocked.

Then, as if seeing a kindred spirit, he said, "This is my specialty, Fu'er. Don't worry, I will not let you down."
