I, the villainous eldest prince, will suppress everything!

This sister-in-law is a bit fierce, but Qin Li likes her.

Qin Li liked his sister-in-law's mother, Lady Wei, even more.

With this mother and daughter on his side, Qin Li didn't believe Qin Feng could cause any trouble.

So what if Qin Feng is the main character?

Even protagonists have to bow their heads in reality!

As expected, Qin Feng was the first to lose face after being scolded in turn by Madam Wei Hongying and her daughter.

"Please calm down, Qin Feng misspoke."

After bowing respectfully, Qin Feng turned and left, his lonely figure looking incredibly dejected.

Not a single member of the Wei family stepped forward to stop him.

As for Qin Li, there was even less chance of him staying.

Qin Li was more than happy for Qin Feng to distance himself from the Wei family. Ideally, Qin Feng would take the initiative to go to the palace and ask Emperor Xuan to dissolve his engagement with Wei Hongying, so that he could take advantage of the situation and seize the opportunity.

They watched Qin Feng walk further and further away until his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

Qin Li continued his villainous actions, sowing discord and playing the role of a manipulative woman:

"Madam Wei and your sister-in-law, please don't be angry with Seventh Brother. It's all my fault."

"At today's court meeting, my seventh brother volunteered to go to the border. I took away his opportunity to go to the border. It's all my fault."

Hearing this, Wei Hongying felt sorry for Qin Li and said, "Brother, please don't say that. You're not wrong. It's all Qin Feng's overestimation of his abilities. What can a good-for-nothing like him do at the border? Just go and die!"

"He can't go to the border himself, and he's trying to stop me from going. He's absolutely wicked!"

Qin Li almost couldn't help but laugh again.

The more Wei Hongying dislikes and hates Qin Feng, the greater his chances will be, and the closer he will be to inheriting Prime Minister Cao's legacy.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Qin Li cupped his hands in farewell and left, still looking guilty.

Wei Hongying felt uneasy. On the way back to the mansion, she couldn't help but speak ill of Qin Feng, even as she supported Madam Wei's arm.

"Do you really think so?"

Lady Wei looked at her daughter and asked.

Wei Hongying stopped and frowned. "Mother, what do you mean by that?"

The women all looked at Madam Wei, puzzled.

"Silly girl!"

Madam Wei reached out and smoothed Wei Hongying's hair, saying, "No matter how bad Qin Feng is, he's still your fiancé. The fact that he volunteered to go to the border already puts me through this."

"What?!"

Upon hearing Madam Wei's words, Wei Hongying and the women of the Wei household all changed their expressions drastically.

Lady Wei told them not to rush and to listen to her explanation slowly.

Qin Feng's willingness to volunteer for the border post, whether to avenge his father-in-law and brothers-in-law or to establish merit and develop his own power, is a qualified and satisfactory decision.

The latter is better, indicating that Qin Feng has ambition and doesn't want to be stuck as a useless prince forever.

If Qin Feng doesn't even dare to go to the border, then she truly looks down on him, and Qin Feng can forget about marrying her daughter and becoming her son-in-law!

The Wei family doesn’t have such a weak, incompetent, cowardly son-in-law!

Adding to what happened today, it seems that Qin Feng was obstructing and causing trouble, but if you think about it carefully, Qin Feng was actually doing it for Wei Hongying's own good, not wanting her to go to the border alone and risk her life.

Such a person is worthy of trust.

After listening to Madam Wei's words, the women nodded, suddenly realizing that they had misunderstood Qin Feng.

But Wei Hongying didn't think so. She said, "Mother, do you mean that the First Prince was deliberately trying to sow discord and play the victim just now?"

Lady Wei remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Others might not be able to see Qin Li's true intentions, but she had lived half her life and experienced everything and dealt with everyone. She could see through him at a glance.

But the next moment, Wei Hongying released Madam Wei's arm, held the imperial edict in her hand, and looked resolute:

"Mother, your daughter has grown up and can distinguish right from wrong!"

"Although the eldest prince's reputation is not good either, my daughter trusts him, and he has no reason to sow discord between my daughter and Qin Feng."

"The eldest prince has everything; he comes from a top-tier family and now wields immense power. There's no need for him to sow discord; it won't benefit him."

Madam Wei sighed and was about to speak when Wei Hongying said again, "Mother, you don't need to say anything."

"Hongying has grown up!"

……

As Qin Li was away from home, he kept sneezing.

He rubbed his nose and immediately cursed, "It must be Qin Feng who's badmouthing me behind my back, you little brat. You can't beat me openly, so you curse me behind my back."

"Just you wait, I'll see how I get my hands on you next time!"

"So what if he's the protagonist? He still has to kneel down for me."

On his way back to his residence, Qin Li discovered that many strangers had come to his mansion. Half were soldiers, and the other half were burly men in black.

"Who are you?"

Qin Li asked.

A burly man dressed in black quickly clasped his hands in greeting and replied, "Your Highness, we are the Prime Minister's men."

Prime Minister Xiao Yuanlu?

Qin Li scratched his head.

Why is my father-in-law, who I consider a cheapskate, coming to my house?

Could it be that they've come to persuade me not to go to the border?

"And who are they?"

Qin Li pointed at the group of soldiers and asked.

Just as the burly man in black was about to answer, Wang Hu came out from the back courtyard carrying two servants, followed by soldiers, each carrying a maid.

The servant boy was held in Wang Hu's hand like a little chick. When he saw Qin Li, he was like a lifeline, shouting for help and begging for mercy. The maid also shouted.

"It was them who, behind your back, tipped off your wife Xiao Xue'er."

"Nephew, you decide what to do with them!"

Wang Hu said fiercely.

It turns out he was a traitor in the government office.

Qin Li understood.

Xiao Xue'er's ambiguous relationship with Qin Feng, which made him the subject of gossip and ridicule in the capital, was all thanks to those traitors in the mansion.

"Kill them!"

Qin Li showed no mercy and said indifferently.

He's not the main character; the word "saint" doesn't even exist in his vocabulary.

Wang Hu swiftly swung his knife, killing two servants first. His soldiers were no pushovers either, and the scene was instantly littered with heads.

After killing the man, Wang Hu approached Qin Li and stammered.

"Uncle, just say what you have to say, there's no need to hold back."

Qin Li watched the soldiers sweeping the courtyard, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

Swallowing hard, Wang Hucai said, "Nephew, these people certainly deserve to die, but Xiao Xue'er is, after all, your fiancée and Xiao Yuanlu's daughter."

"He and Qin Feng have an ambiguous relationship. It probably wasn't her intention; Qin Feng must have deliberately seduced her..."

Before Wang Hu could finish speaking, Qin Li raised his hand to interrupt him, "I understand what Uncle means."

"I'm not that stupid. I won't cut off my own arm before I'm in that position."

Where is Xiao Xue'er?

Qin Li asked.

Wang Hu pointed to the back courtyard, "Her father is whipping her right now. If you don't come soon, nephew, you might get whipped to death."

Taking a deep breath, Qin Li walked towards the back of the house.

In the courtyard of the inner residence, the obese Xiao Yuanlu was panting heavily. Xiao Xue'er had been whipped all over by him and was curled up in a ball, looking extremely pitiful.

Seeing Qin Li walk in out of the corner of her eye, Xiao Yuanlu not only didn't stop, but instead increased the force of her blows, as if afraid that Qin Li would be unhappy.

"Father-in-law!"

With a shout, Xiao Yuanlu did not stop.

It was only when Qin Li stepped forward and forcibly snatched the whip from his hand that Xiao Yuanlu stopped.

However, he didn't forget to curse her, accusing Xiao Xue'er of being unfaithful and entangled with Qin Feng...

"Father-in-law, whipping alone won't do; we need something else."

"Oh?"

Xiao Yuanlu gasped for breath and asked, "What is it?"

Qin Li kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then walked straight towards Xiao Xue'er, who was lying on the ground covered in wounds...
