The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

Qi Jingchen lowered his hand, which was trying to stop his sister from strangling him, touched his chest, and looked up blankly at his sister.

"Yu'er, why do I feel that being the crown prince isn't a happy thing?"

"Ha!" Qi Zhiyu released her grip, sneering disdainfully, "Have you ever seen an ox or horse happily going to work?"

Qi Jingchen turned to his father and said, "Father, if you become the crown prince and ascend the throne, you must be emperor for many more years."

Prince Rui gritted his teeth: "You really are my good son!"

Qi Jingchen sighed: "If we didn't fight for that position, we wouldn't be able to survive. Actually, I think being a carefree prince is quite nice."

If the King of Wu were to ascend the throne, they would surely die.

If he were the King of Wu, he would have made the same choice.

They wouldn't leave a potential threat that could kill him at any time.

"In a few days, I will prepare the medicinal herbs and begin treating your leg," Qi Zhiyu said coldly.

Do you want her to become empress?

Do you want to dump all the work on her?

Go dream!

She fought her way to the top from the original world just to enjoy herself, not to be a slave!

If it didn't work in the original world, let alone this one!

Qi Jingchen: "...Thank you?"

Suddenly I realized that he didn't seem to be that eager for his leg to get better.

Qi Zhiyu didn't care about them at all.

She had said what she needed to say, then got up and left.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped as her hand touched the door, turned her head, and smiled at Qi Jingchen.

"Big brother, you can actually hope that Mom and Dad will give us another little brother."

After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she saw Qi Jingchen's eyes light up instantly.

She opened the door and left, satisfied.

Prince Rui looked at his eldest son, who was laughing excitedly, and sneered, "Don't even think about it."

"Instead of thinking about having a younger brother, you should think about having a son and raising him. In the future, he can bypass you and pass the throne to him."

Qi Jingchen carefully analyzed the feasibility of this matter: "Father, what you say is very true."

"Mother is getting old, and it would be dangerous for her to give birth again. Besides, there's no guarantee that it will be a boy."

"Well... ah!"

Qi Jingchen clutched the back of his head in pain, staring at his father in shock.

Isn't getting hit on the head a privilege reserved for the second son?

He has always been outstanding and has never been beaten.

Prince Rui gritted his teeth and sneered, "You really want to shirk this responsibility?"

Qi Jingchen: "..."

He had never thought of it before.

But after what his sister said just now... he suddenly didn't really want to take on this responsibility anymore.

"How have I taught you since you were a child?" Prince Rui shouted angrily, and slapped Qi Jingchen twice more.

Qi Jingchen said somewhat aggrievedly, "Dad, my sister is too dark-skinned."

He figured it out.

The last thing his sister said before leaving was that she was plotting against him.

Because he suggested that his sister become empress, she deliberately stirred up his idea.

He had no reservations about his father and would say whatever he thought.

Then... he got beaten by his father.

My sister has some clever methods; she really knows how to take revenge without holding back.

He wanted to cry...

"Isn't that great?" Prince Rui thought his daughter was doing quite well.

"At least I won't be bullied."

Qi Jingchen: "..."

OK.

He accepted this reason.

The father and son began to analyze the current situation and plan their next steps.

While things were peaceful at Prince Rui's residence, things were almost in chaos at Marquis Weiyuan's residence.

Tang Jingrou had just returned to the manor when she was met with a hard slap from Marquis Weiyuan.

"Ah!" Tang Jingrou was hit hard and fell to the ground. Her vision went black for a while and she didn't recover for a long time.

"Still pretending to be dead!" Marquis Weiyuan roared in anger.

"Now the whole capital knows that you slandered Prince Rui."

"For so many years, you've deliberately spread rumors that Prince Rui is obsessed with you!"

"Everyone knows that my Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion has a vain and shameless wife like you!"

He hates!

I hate Tang Jingrou's incompetence, and I hate Qi Zhiyu even more!

Qi Zhiyu had told him to admit publicly that the rumors about Prince Rui's obsession with Tang Jingrou were all fabricated by Tang Jingrou herself.

He did not agree.

That's good now.

It's because he didn't do what Qi Zhiyu said.

The crown prince was deposed.

Even if they were related to the Crown Prince through marriage, it didn't stop the Crown Prince from taking his anger out on them.

The key point is that the Crown Prince became the Prince of Wu, and not only did they suffer, but Tang Jingrou's rumor about the Prince of Rui became known throughout the city!

What is this?

They lost both their wife and their army!

A complete loss!

"How could I have married such a scourge like you?" Marquis Weiyuan wished he could kill Tang Jingrou with a single blow.

Tang Jingrou's heart sank.

Why did he marry her?

It's because he realized that Prince Rui treated her differently.

Over the years, if it weren't for her, how could they have pulled Prince Rui down from the position of Crown Prince?

How did the King of Wu become the crown prince?

Why didn't he say he made a mistake marrying her back then?

Are they trying to discard someone after they've served their purpose?

Tang Jingrou felt a surge of hatred in her chest.

However, she knew she couldn't confront Marquis Weiyuan head-on.

Now, for some reason, Prince Rui is no longer as obedient to her as before. She can't hold onto Prince Rui, so she can't afford to lose her status as the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan.

"My lord, my lord..." Tang Jingrou scrambled to her feet, crawled two steps, and grabbed the hem of Marquis Weiyuan's robe.

"I have already gone to my parents' home and asked them to intervene."

"Lord Jingwen?" Marquis Weiyuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

That fool Prince Rui actually showed considerable respect to his father-in-law, Earl Jingwen.

He really doesn't understand.

What is the status of Prince Rui? What is the status of Earl Jingwen? Why does Prince Rui elevate Earl Jingwen so much?

"Are you sure Prince Rui will come forward to clarify?" Marquis Weiyuan asked.

He didn't care about Tang Jingrou's reputation.

However, Tang Jingrou implicated the Marquis of Weiyuan's family.

Because the Marquis of Weiyuan's family had implicated the King of Wu, he couldn't ignore it.

If the King of Wu loses power, his Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion will also be finished.

If Prince Rui becomes the crown prince, neither the King of Wu nor he will survive!

This is a struggle for the throne, and even more so, a life-or-death struggle!

To lose is to die!

"Definitely!" Tang Jingrou said with absolute certainty. "He greatly respects my father!"

Marquis Weiyuan reached out and pulled Tang Jingrou up: "You know that if your reputation is ruined, the Marquis's mansion will also decline."

"I feel sorry for the Marquis's mansion, and I feel sorry for you too."

Marquis Weiyuan's reason was completely half-hearted, but Tang Jingrou still replied shyly, "I understand your difficulties, Your Excellency."

Marquis Weiyuan was very satisfied with Tang Jingrou's sensible nature.

"Does it hurt? I'll have the maid apply some medicine to it for you." The concern in Marquis Weiyuan's words was as fake as his smile.

Tang Jingrou lowered her head and smiled, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Lord Marquis."

The maid brought medicine for the wound and wiped Tang Jingrou's face.

She was in pain, but dared not show it.

Because she knew that Marquis Weiyuan was particularly agitated at this moment.

If she makes any noise, it will only make him more annoyed with her.

"My lord, my lord..." A servant rushed in from outside to report, "Lord Jingwen, Lord Jingwen."

Tang Jingrou jumped to her feet, excitedly asking the servant, "Are my parents here?"

Then, she turned to Marquis Weiyuan with a smile and said, "It must be Prince Rui who will step forward to clarify."
