Splendid Twins

Yanhui Tower is not a good place for conversation. The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Zhou Wan who was hiding behind Prince Li with frosty eyes:

"Return home immediately!"

Then he looked up at Prince Li and said in a sarcastic tone:

"I am waiting for Your Highness!"

After saying that, he strode away. Prince Li's guards had already cleared out all the outsiders, and only these three people and Prince Xuan who was passing by were left.

Zhou Wan cried bitterly, pretending to be scared and grabbing the sleeve of Prince Li:

"Your Highness, Wanwan is afraid..."

"Snapped!"

Prince Li had been influenced by the concubines in the palace since he was young, and was used to seeing them use various means to gain favor. Zhou Wan's clumsy skills full of loopholes were simply an insult to him!

"Bitch!"

"Your Highness, why are you..."

Zhou Wan was slapped in the face, covering her face with her hands, feeling terrified. He couldn't possibly know...

"It's all my fault that I was careless and you schemed against me. Go back and tell your father not to make trouble. Otherwise, I will make your Zhenguo Mansion pay!"

Prince Li was furious. He was not a mean person. He bullied the girl but was not responsible. However, it was clearly the bitch who planned it. In addition, he had drunk alcohol before. As soon as he approached her, he was attracted by the fragrance. He couldn't stop and completely fell into it...

“Your Highness, you have wronged Wanwan… Wuwuwu, Your Highness, you…”

"Shut up!"

Prince Li roared impatiently. This disgraceful matter had become known to everyone. Although he was being stubborn verbally, if the matter was not properly resolved and that old man was allowed to do bad things secretly, wouldn't it be more trouble than gain?

Zhou Wan still cried on the surface, but she was relieved in her heart. In the countryside, if a girl fell in love with a boy and both parents disagreed, some girls would secretly get married to the boy without telling their families and even give their bodies to him in advance. In the end, the parents would usually compromise...

Come to think of it, all parents in the world are the same. After returning home, she will act like a spoiled child in front of her mother and cry for a while. By the time her father's anger has subsided, won't he personally take care of her marriage with His Highness?

After all, his son-in-law is no ordinary person. He is His Royal Highness Prince Li, the future King of Dai Viet!

And from today on, she herself has become the tacitly acknowledged Princess Li.

Prince Xuan tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. He blamed himself for not checking the almanac before going out today. Now that he had encountered such an unlucky thing, it was not right to leave, and it was even worse not to leave.

"You go back first, and wait for me to go to the palace before we talk."

Prince Li calmed down and spoke again with the same gentleness as before, causing Zhou Wan to laugh and cry:

"Okay, Wanwan is waiting for you..."

Prince Xuan shielded his face with a folding fan, his eyes showing obvious contempt. He looked down upon Prince Li's hypocritical behavior. People of their status could lack great virtues but could not lose small manners!

Using tricks to win over a farm girl who has no knowledge and background is so petty!

The Duke of Zhenguo is very careful in his actions, and his iron-blooded tactics make people fear him. The only flaw is that his daughter was replaced. The matter of the real and fake daughter can be considered his weakness. None of his brothers provoked the peasant girl because they did not want to lose the big picture for the small.

"Third brother, have some tea."

Prince Xuan was polite and handed over a cup of tea. Prince Li took it and drank it all in one gulp. His voice was hoarse:

"I've made a fool of myself for my fifth brother."

"We are brothers, so we can't talk about this. But, Third Brother, have you thought about how to explain this to the Imperial Concubine?"

"My mother hates these methods the most. She will not let me off easily. I have to trouble my fifth brother to help me put in a few words."

Prince Li showed a flattering smile. How could he be the only one embarrassed? He asked the fifth brother to take the blame. His uncle worked in the military department of the capital, so those people outside would have to think twice before gossiping about him.

"Third brother, what you said is not right. The Imperial Concubine has always been tolerant and never misinterprets things. She will understand the whole story."

Prince Xuan politely consoled him, but his heart sank. This bastard wanted to drag him down. If he walked out of the door of Yanhui Building today, believe it or not, there would be rumors tomorrow about him and Prince Li doing this and that...

"Greetings, Prince Xuan, the Imperial Concubine invites you two."

A eunuch's voice was heard at the door. Turning around, I saw that the person was indeed the eunuch in charge of Concubine Wei's palace.

"Eunuch Hui, how does mother look?"

"Your Majesty will know when he returns to the palace, please."

Eunuch Hui bent down to indicate that even if the imperial concubine was furious, he, a servant, could not speak out in public.

"Fifth brother, let's go."

Prince Li turned around and greeted him in a kind tone. With outsiders present, his mother couldn't scold him.

Prince Xuan stood up with an expressionless face. It was really unlucky. The mother and son had the same attitude of forcing others to do things. Who told him to lie dormant now? Naturally, he had to stay low and not ruin what his eldest brother had told him to do...

As soon as the Duke of Zhenguo returned to the mansion, he went straight to the inner house. The Duke's wife was preparing a formal dress for Zhou Yu. When she saw him come in with a sullen face, she hurriedly sent the maid out. The couple stood and sat, looking at each other:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't asked. But once he did, the Duke of Zhenguo couldn't help himself and directly waved his hand to knock the teacup on the table to the ground, gritting his teeth and saying:

"You have trained a good daughter!"

"Who? What happened to Wanwan? Where is she? What happened to her?"

The Duke's wife was so shocked that she quickly stood up and asked, a look of anxiety on her face.

"You do not know?"

The Duke of Zhenguo questioned with cold eyes. He didn't believe that the idiot could do such a shameful thing alone!

"Why do you say that? What do I know? What happened to Wanwan?"

The Duke's wife was completely confused. She had been busy with her son's marriage and had no time to think about her daughter.

"Humph, you'll know when she comes back!"

The Duke of Zhenguo snorted coldly, regretting deeply in his heart that he had acknowledged this daughter. How dare she plot against the prince? Prince Li might be sympathetic to a woman, but Concubine Wei was not!

If Prince Li's reputation is tarnished, then this evildoer must die to atone for his sin!

"Someone, go and see if the young lady is back."

The Duke's wife was completely upset, and the maid at the door hurried away after hearing the order.

The Duke of Zhenguo looked disappointed and said in a deep voice:

"When she comes back, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down!"

The Duchess's wife was shocked. What crime had she committed to deserve such a severe punishment?

The Duke of Zhenguo turned around and went to the old lady's residence. When he entered, he saw Wei. His eyes sank and he sat in the upper seat without looking away. The old lady noticed that he was unhappy and laughed lightly and joked:

"What's the matter today? Why are you all coming to my place?"

Wei lowered his eyes and stood up and said:

"It's time for the Third Master to take his medicine. Your daughter-in-law will go back and serve him first."

"Go ahead, take care of him, and take care of yourself as well."

After the old lady waited for Wei to leave, the smile on her face faded instantly, and she looked at the Duke of Zhenguo:

"Tell me, what happened?"

The Duke of Zhenguo was reluctant to explain in too much detail, only saying that Zhou Wan and Prince Li were interested in each other, and that the Duke's Mansion would be dragged into the power struggle.

The old lady was very experienced and could deduce the general situation with just a few words. She immediately lost all her favor towards Zhou Wan and said indifferently:

"After the prince gets married, find a reason to deal with him. Don't implicate the entire Duke's Mansion!"
