Every time I wear it quickly, there are always big guys giving it away.

"Where is he? This rebellious son!" King Xi and his wife, who were just about to rest in the main courtyard, headed towards the waterside pavilion, followed by a huge group of people.

Several relatives of the Crown Prince’s wife were on the list.

Supported by her servants, Ruan's mother looked pale, clutching her chest tightly, calling out, "My son, my son..."

Upon hearing this, King Xi's expression became even colder, "Let me see how evil that rebellious son can be—"

The maid who came to deliver the message was vague and had a flickering look on her face, but every word pointed out that the Third Young Master had molested the Second Young Miss of the Ruan family while drunk.

The third young master's biological mother, Zhou, would definitely not believe it. Her eldest son was not a lustful man at all, not to mention the second young lady of the Ruan family, who was far less beautiful than Princess Mingyue.

With such a beautiful woman in front of him, how could her son, who had been picky for twenty years, be interested in such a pretty girl?

But this certainly could not be said in front of everyone. King Xi didn't really believe it in his heart. But the maid told the story with details, and his in-laws were watching. As the head of the royal palace, he must give an explanation.

At best, it was a misunderstanding!

They soon arrived at the waterside pavilion, and sure enough, there was a man and a woman taking advantage of the night to do something indecent. As they got closer, they heard the woman's crying and the man's increasingly excited panting.

King Xi shouted, "Rebellious son!"

He ordered his attendants to restrain the man and bring him before King Xi. King Xi took a closer look and recognized the man with a lustful look on his face. Wasn't he his second son who was used to sleeping with other prostitutes?

"Second brother, you are so brave!" The facts were before him, and King Xi could not tolerate his son's reckless behavior. He slapped him and said, "That's what I taught you!"

His strength was so great that he actually reduced the Second Young Master's nine-point drunkenness to six points on the spot.

The second young master suddenly came to his senses. He looked at his almost exposed chest and the disheveled clothes of the second young lady of the Ruan family. How could he not understand anything?

"Well, about this matter——"

He stammered and was unable to speak. Over the years, he often stayed drunk in red-light districts. He didn't even know which prostitute he would be lying on when he woke up. It was as exciting as opening a blind box!

But this is the first time that someone has done anything wrong in the palace!

The second young master covered his cheek, which had swelled up to the size of a steamed bun in just a few minutes, and knelt down to admit his mistake.

When the Second Young Master was pulled up, the Crown Princess and Ruan's mother had already rushed over.

"Sister——" The Crown Prince's wife took off her cloak and wrapped it around the trembling Ruan Ling. Ruan's mother hugged Ruan Ling and screamed at the top of her lungs, "My poor daughter——"

When she heard that the person who committed the crime had changed from the expected target - the Third Young Master to the Second Young Master who appeared out of nowhere, Ruan's mother's high-pitched voice suddenly changed.

The Crown Princess was afraid of being exposed, so she pinched Ruan's mother immediately. Ruan's mother continued crying without pausing, but this time she cried much more sadly.

There are no skills, it’s all about emotion!

King Xi was so angry that he slapped the Second Young Master again, and this time both sides of his cheeks became symmetrical.

"Father, spare my life!"

The second young master crawled over and hugged his father's thighs tightly, fearing that he would be beaten to death in a fit of rage!

He cried until he was hoarse, not caring about his image at all: "Son - I know I was wrong -"

"Your Majesty, even though he was drunk and made things difficult, please don't let your body get hurt by your anger. You still have to come up with a plan for what will happen next!"

Since she had no son to worry about at the moment, Zhou was happy to watch the joke. King Xi didn't understand the twists and turns in the backyard, so how could she not understand?

Most likely, the Ruan family had bad intentions and wanted to set a trap for her third son, but the second son somehow got caught up in it.

When Ruan Ling found out that the person he had just catered to was not the Third Young Master he had been thinking about, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Mother Ruan cried even more sadly!

Princess: ...

I hate that iron cannot become steel!

Two disappointing things!

"Why don't you send Miss Ruan back to the courtyard quickly and ask the court doctor to come and take a look!" Zhou gave orders in an orderly manner.

"Come here, enforce the family law!" King Xi closed his eyes and hardened his heart. "Give him three hundred military sticks, and then lock this rebellious son up in the ancestral hall, and let him reflect on his mistakes."

"Father..." The prince, who didn't see the joke, got anxious. Who told him that the one who was so insolent was his own brother? He lifted his clothes and knelt down to beg, "Even a brave soldier couldn't stand three hundred military sticks, let alone my second brother! Father, please calm down!"

King Xi calmed down and felt that the punishment was too harsh, so he quietly changed it to thirty military sticks.

The second young master, who had endured thirty military sticks with tears and shouts, was dragged into the gloomy ancestral hall like a weak shrimp.

King Xi was still angry and thought of the other person involved. He sat on the main seat, looked around, and asked in a deep voice: "Where is the third brother? It's so late, why haven't we seen him?"

Zhou quickly comforted him: "Your Highness, it's very lively outside tonight. A large number of merchants from the Western Regions have come. The third brother and his wife must have been dazzled by the sights and haven't returned for a while."

Zhou, who originally thought that the two were indecent, now just thinks: It’s a good idea to leave!

King Xi was silent for a moment, thinking of the third son's wife who had been ill for a long time. Now that she was a little better, the third son couldn't wait to take her out to relax. He snorted coldly, "He is such a lovesick person——"

Unlike myself, he looks very much like the jealous Zhou.

"Big Boss, I'm sorry to have wronged you tonight..." A good wedding banquet was ruined by this unpleasant incident. "Go and check on your Yue family. Tell them to rest assured. I will handle this matter impartially and will never let you off easily!"

The prince's eyelids twitched, but he said nothing, bowed and left.

The next day, everyone who had not had a good rest gathered together, making the third brother and his wife and the three Zhou family members look radiant.

King Xi's solution was to let the second son marry Ruan Ling as his concubine, because the second son was already engaged to Princess Fuyang, and in another month, Princess Fuyang would marry in, so Ruan Ling could not be the principal wife!

Speaking of the incompetent second son, he spent all day hanging out, which caused the second wife to be depressed and die early.

What kind of woman is this Princess Fuyang?

She has kept a male lover from the princess's mansion before getting married. He spends his days pursuing other women and is as unreliable as the second young master.

The marriage between the two was nothing more than an exchange of interests between the Xi Palace and the princess's father.

I think having an insignificant concubine won't be a big deal to the princess.

The Ruan family was heartbroken, but they also knew that this was the best outcome. The Prince Xi's Mansion was at its peak, while the Ruan family was on the decline.

If King Xi was angered, even if he didn't want to take responsibility, the Ruan family would be unable to do anything to the palace, and Ruan Ling's reputation would be completely ruined!

Comparing the two, Ruan Ling marrying the second son of the royal family is already the best outcome.
