Tang Jingrou was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground with a thud.

She felt as if all the blood in her body had been drained instantly, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, so cold that she shivered uncontrollably.

Prince Rui chuckled and said, "Wei Chengjiang, you'd better keep a close eye on your own wife."

Wei Chengjiang gritted his teeth, his veins bulging, his face contorted in a ferocious expression.

"You bitch!" Wei Chengjiang rushed out of the carriage and kicked Tang Jingrou away.

Wei Chengjiang punched and kicked Tang Jingrou, who screamed in agony.

Prince Rui glanced at Prince Wu, shook his head and sighed softly, "Fourth Prince...you've had it tough too."

The King of Wu clenched his teeth and remained silent.

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Why don't you take care of your family matters first?" Prince Rui kindly suggested. "I and Grand Secretary Zhang can handle things over there."

King Wu gave King Rui a deep look: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."

In just six short words, the King of Wu managed to utter a powerful aura of battle and bloodshed.

If it were possible, he would have already drawn his sword and chopped Prince Rui into mincemeat!

"There's no need for such formalities between brothers like us," Prince Rui said with an exceptionally considerate smile.

A gentleman of upright character is modeled after him!

The King of Wu immediately got up and got off the carriage.

Prince Rui ordered the carriage doors to be closed, and the coachman drove the carriage away.

Prince Rui said apologetically to Grand Secretary Zhang, "I'm sorry for making you laugh, Grand Secretary."

"Every family has its share of troubles, and it's not easy for the fourth child either."

Grand Secretary Zhang: "..."

"Your Highness, if I remember correctly, it was Your Highness who invited me and the Prince of Wu to go on business together."

Prince Rui nodded: "Yes."

"There is something I'm unsure about."

Prince Rui sighed, "After all, I haven't been involved in core political affairs for too many years, and I'm afraid I'll become rusty and make mistakes."

"It is not a big deal if I make a mistake, but it would be bad if it affects the court and causes suffering to the people."

Grand Secretary Zhang: "...This old minister sees no sign of rustiness from Prince Rui; on the contrary, he is even more skilled than before."

This deceptive method is incredibly smooth.

"Ah!" Prince Rui looked at Grand Secretary Zhang with delight. "To receive such praise from you, Grand Secretary, is my great fortune."

"I have never forgotten my father's teachings over the years and have always strived to improve myself."

"Fortunately, I didn't embarrass my father."

Grand Secretary Zhang closed his eyes; he felt he had quite strong self-control.

But looking at Prince Rui's face, why did he feel an urge to hit him?

It's truly rare to see someone as shameless as Prince Rui!

"Your Highness, your great undertaking will surely succeed!" Grand Secretary Zhang said confidently.

With such shamelessness, even the King of Wu couldn't catch up.

If what just happened had happened to Prince Rui, he would not have reacted with such a change in expression, nor would he have responded like Prince Wu.

The King of Wu's temperament... was still far from adequate.

If it weren't for the fact that King Wu became the crown prince in recent years and used his position to cultivate his power... King Wu would be utterly powerless against King Rui!

"Thank you for your kind words, Your Excellency!" Prince Rui smiled, his smile open and honest.

Grand Secretary Zhang also laughed.

The stronger the future heir apparent's abilities, the more stable the country will be!

Prince Rui and Grand Secretary Zhang left, while Prince Wu remained, shouting, "Stop!"

Wei Chengjiang had no choice but to stop.

Even so, his chest was still heaving violently, and he was panting heavily.

As for Tang Jingrou, she had been beaten black and blue, and even her own mother might not recognize her.

"Let's go back first and talk about it later," King Wu said coldly.

Although this is a narrow alley, you never know when someone might pass by.

He can't afford to lose face like that!

Wei Chengjiang suppressed his anger and turned to look at the servant beside him: "Hurry up and bring the carriage here!"

"Yes, yes!" The servant hurriedly ran to catch the carriage.

They had been following behind Prince Rui's carriage, and they had heard everything clearly when their wives expressed their true feelings to him.

Hearing their master's secret... will they be silenced?

The servant nervously brought the carriage over, and Wei Chengjiang invited King Wu to get into the carriage first.

Then, he looked at Tang Jingrou with disgust, went over, grabbed her from the ground, and dragged her onto the carriage.

Tang Jingrou was hurt but didn't dare to speak, curling up in the corner to minimize her presence.

They arrived at the Wei family's house very quickly.

Now that there were no outsiders around, Wei Chengjiang kicked out and yelled, "Kneel down properly!"

Tang Jingrou endured the pain and knelt down.

Wei Chengjiang disliked her more and more and wanted to hit her again, but was stopped by the King of Wu.

"Your Highness," Wei Chengjiang said, unable to contain his anger.

Why not beat up such a despicable person?

"She must have had a reason," King Wu said.

"What reason could there be?" Wei Chengjiang and Tang Jingrou had been married for many years, so how could he not know what kind of person Tang Jingrou was?

"She's just vain!"

"Even though the current situation is unfavorable to me, it is not the time for her to openly take sides like this." King Wu still had this much confidence.

Recently, Rui Wang and his group have been causing trouble, but it's not enough to deliver a fatal blow!

Tang Jingrou trembled, as if she had seen a glimmer of hope: "Master, this is just a temporary measure!"

"I did that for the good of the Wei family and for the good of the King of Wu."

Wei Chengjiang laughed angrily: "You go find a man to confess your true feelings to, and you're telling me it's just a temporary measure?"

"Come on, tell me, what exactly is it that requires you to do this!"

Tang Jingrou had no choice but to explain Qi Zhiyu's outrageous demand for money: "...I thought that as long as we could find evidence of Prince Rui's misconduct, Princess Chen'an wouldn't be able to ask for money anymore, so, therefore..."

Under the cold gaze of the King of Wu, Tang Jingrou could no longer utter a single word.

"Are you all crazy?" King Wu was so angry that he kicked over the chair next to him.

"If you're just praying, why drag Chen An into it?"

"Isolation? What's there to be isolated about?"

"When did she get involved with you guys?"

We're not even in the same circle, so what's this talk of isolation or not?

What are these people thinking?

They're both women, so why are Princess Rui and Chen An just normal people, while this bunch of people are doing such foolish things?

"Your Highness, please calm down." Wei Chengjiang quickly bowed.

King Wu took a deep breath and stared at Tang Jingrou: "From now on, don't act on your own!"

He was making arrangements at the front, but a bunch of people were dragging him down from behind.

What's wrong?

Are these people all spies sent by Prince Rui?

Did she deliberately lurk by his side for years, just to frame him now?

"Your Highness, how should this matter be handled?" Wei Chengjiang was also furious, but the matter still needed to be resolved.

The King of Wu said coldly, "Give me the money!"

Wei Chengjiang said with heartache, "Your Highness, my household doesn't have that much money."

The King of Wu gritted his teeth: "Go ask the Duke of Wei. Wasn't it his granddaughter who spearheaded this?"
