After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!

Princess Cheng looked up at King Cheng with tears in her eyes, "We have been married for so many years, Your Majesty, don't you trust me?"

"If my sister can come to serve the prince and help me with the chores, I will be so happy that I can't wait to do it. How can I be unwilling?"

King Cheng looked at Princess Cheng, as if trying to see how sincere her words were.

"I'm afraid my sister is unwilling... There is indeed someone who helps her with this matter, but it's not me."

King Cheng snorted, "If not you, then who else?"

"Yes...Princess Jing." said Princess Cheng.

"Princess Jing helped her?" King Cheng laughed. "I would believe you if you said the Crown Prince helped her, but why would Princess Jing help her? Because she had schemed against Song Er?"

Princess Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Because Princess Jing wants to sow discord between us."

Upon hearing this, King Cheng frowned slightly.

“If Princess Jing hadn’t stopped me, I would have taken my sister away long ago and would not have given her the chance to see the prince again.” Princess Cheng said with certainty.

King Cheng recalled the scenes in Gui Garden.

"I said my sister was already betrothed, but she knelt down and begged the prince to report back alone. It's obvious that she doesn't want to serve the prince."

Princess Cheng sighed softly, "I didn't expect my sister to be so generous. Maybe before, she didn't even fancy Song Er."

"oops!"

Princess Cheng suddenly exclaimed.

King Cheng frowned and looked at her unhappily.

"Did she take the initiative to leak out the palace affairs? That's why Song Er avoided it and filed a complaint against the prince instead?"

After Princess Cheng finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth as if she regretted it.

King Cheng's eyes were deep, "She didn't like Song Er, nor did she like... me, so she deliberately did something bad?"

"Perhaps she had colluded with Princess Jing that night." Princess Cheng said, "That's why Princess Jing was willing to help her today."

This series of statements seems to make perfect sense.

Xu Chunlan didn't think highly of Song Er, but she still did a favor for the Song family.

He asked Song Er to file a complaint and immediately removed the spies he had placed in the palace for so long.

The Song family got the upper hand, so it was only natural for them to do her a favor today.

King Cheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Xu, Chun, Lan!"

Princess Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Cheng's anger could be directed at either Princess Jing or his third sister.

It just can't fall on her head.

The next day, King Cheng went to his father-in-law's house.

He was not a person who could not hide his thoughts, and he was no longer at the age of being impatient.

But the scene of the beauty boating on the lake, playing the piano and teasing the cat yesterday was like a thorn that pierced his heart.

He didn't sleep well last night and had a lot of dreams.

In the dream, the piano music, the beauty, and even the chubby kitten were all specially prepared for him.

When he woke up this morning and opened his eyes, the gap between reality and his dreams made him even more indignant.

If he hadn't given Xu Chunlan a chance, she would have been just a concubine's daughter of the Xu family!

For so many years, Madam Xu controlled the backyard, but she never registered her under her name and never gave her the status of a legitimate daughter!

It was him! He gave Xu Chunlan a higher status.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chunlan wanted to climb up the prince's high branch by taking advantage of the opportunity he gave her.

How greedy!

And his father-in-law had clearly already agreed to give Miss Xu San to him as a concubine!

Why! Why are you offering her to the prince now?

Prince Cheng was upset and went straight to Minister Xu's residence.

Xu Cheng was still secretly happy yesterday.

The third girl has made it big! She was chosen by the prince at first sight.

Song Er really has no taste! He didn't even like such a good girl from his family!

Fortunately, he didn't like her, otherwise, how could he have the grace of being the "Prince's Concubine"?

But today, Xu Cheng was troubled again.

King Cheng blocked him in the Ming Hall.

"Your Majesty, King Cheng, is wise. I don't know what's going on..."

"Originally, she was confined to her boudoir! It was her sister, Princess Cheng, who came back to plead for her and said she would take her to Guiyuan to see the world."

"I thought it was your will, Your Majesty, so you asked her to go..."

King Cheng had a gloomy face and hadn't spoken yet.

Suddenly, the sound of a brisk and melodious pipa came into the bright hall.

When Xu Cheng heard the sound of the pipa, he didn't react much. He just thought that Xu Chunlan was in a good mood and started practicing the pipa again.

But King Cheng froze, frowned and stood up.

"This is the song from yesterday..."

King Cheng walked out of the house, following the sound of the pipa.

"Master, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng..." the servant whispered at the door.

Xu Cheng quickly waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, just tell him to go."

As a man, if the meat is right before your mouth and you can't eat it suddenly, you won't miss it.

He was worried about how to deal with the situation, so he decided to let the third girl explain it herself.

As for whether King Cheng will do anything excessive?

Xu Cheng was not worried at all.

King Cheng would not offend the crown prince because of a woman.

……

In the octagonal pavilion in the Xu family's yard, Xu Chunlan was holding a pipa, playing the song from yesterday, humming the lyrics softly.

King Cheng stood about ten steps away, his eyes fixed on her, his fists clenched.

Almost! Just a little bit!

If he had come a few days earlier... no, even if he had come a day earlier! The prince would have been dead!

This woman is his!

Xu Chunlan seemed to feel his gaze and looked up inadvertently in his direction.

"Zheng——" Her nails hooked on the strings, and a panicked note came out.

She hugged the pipa and ran away in a hurry.

King Cheng's originally calm and restrained heart was also disrupted by the sound of the disordered notes.

He leaped forward and grabbed Xu Chunlan's arm.

"stop!"

Xu Chunlan turned pale with fear, "King Cheng, please, please let go."

She looked at him and her eyes instantly turned red.

King Cheng gritted his teeth, and An An was angry, "Why are you crying? Did I... hurt you?"

Xu Chunlan shook her head fearfully, "I was wrong. I shouldn't have played the piano here, shouldn't have attracted King Cheng's attention, shouldn't have admired King Cheng... It's all my fault."

King Cheng's heart trembled.

"What did you say?"

Xu Chunlan suddenly became even more frightened and shook her head quickly, but she was too scared to say a word.

King Cheng narrowed his eyes at her and said, "You just said that you admire me..."

"No, I didn't say that." Tears fell unexpectedly, and Xu Chunlan's slender body trembled slightly. "Prince, please, let me go."

"What happened yesterday? Why did you perform for the prince? You asked to report to the prince alone...what did you say?" King Cheng not only did not let her go, but held her even tighter.

Xu Chunlan closed her eyes in fear, shook her head repeatedly and said nothing.

"You are really good at seducing the prince while keeping me hanging, Xu Chunlan!" King Cheng approached her and said.

Xu Chunlan suddenly opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and anger.

She suddenly raised her hand and slapped King Cheng in the face.

"How dare you hit me?" King Cheng pinched her slender wrist. "Who arranged for you to go boating on the lake and play the piano yesterday?"

Xu Chunlan took a deep breath and forced back her tears, but her eyes became visibly redder.

"What qualifications does King Cheng have to question me?"

"I used to admire you, but I was always polite. I never overstepped the boundaries!"

"Your Highness Prince Cheng! I am already the destined Crown Prince's Consort, what are you doing now?"
