Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

Pan Yulian rushed to the front of the carriage, blocking its way, and shouted at the top of her voice:

"Feng Qingluan, you have disregarded family affection! You have lost all conscience! Just because you became the Princess of Chu, you look down on us relatives and drive us out of the Marquis' Mansion. Are you still a human being?"

She started to curse loudly, and the people on the street looked at her. Aunt You saw that the situation was not right and pulled her aside to persuade her:

"Second Madam, calm down. Feng Qingluan is the Princess of Chu and a member of the royal family. If she starts a fight in the street, it will be difficult for the King of Chu, and Second Madam will also be in trouble."

Pan Yulian didn't care about that. Her anger was so great that she was determined to take advantage of the crowd and skin Feng Qingluan to avenge what happened last night.

Anyway, the King of Chu will protect her no matter what, so she can make as much trouble as she wants!

Liu Qi jumped off the shaft and said, "Second Madam, what are you doing? Stop making trouble and leave."

Pan Yulian was the mother of the concubine, and the prince doted on her extremely. When he saw that Pan Yulian was not in a good state, he still spoke to her as respectfully as possible.

Pan Yulian recognized Liu Qi, but she didn't listen to him. Instead, she became more arrogant because of his presence:

"Why are you leaving? I'm waiting for her here! Feng Qingluan, do you remember that your father had no money when he came to the capital from Yangzhou? It was my master and the third wife who pooled five taels of silver to give him, so that he could come to the capital and make a fortune.

Now that you have power, you look down on us poor relatives. After your father died, you drove us out of the mansion. You are such an ungrateful person, you are not worthy of being the princess of the King of Chu!"

Pan Yulian had a loud voice to begin with, and she started shouting and gesticulating, and even walked up to the people to speak. Her expression and demeanor were like that of a shrew scolding in the street, and all the people around her gathered over.

When Pan Yulian's voice rang out, Feng Qingluan also lifted the curtain of the car. Seeing her cursing by name, her face gradually darkened.

Liu Qi frowned and wanted to take her aside: "Madam Feng Er, please listen to my advice and don't do this in public."

After all, her daughter is the prince's woman. She is bringing shame to the Chu Palace by scolding the princess by her name.

Pan Yulian stared at Liu Qi with a distorted face: "Don't pull me, I'm just doing this for my master, to let the people see Feng Qingluan's true face, so that no one will be deceived!"

Her passionate accusation quickly sparked a wave of public opinion, and some people who were unaware of the inside story condemned Feng Qingluan:

"So she is the Princess of Chu. How could she be such a person? Who doesn't have poor relatives? She doesn't help her even though she is so rich. Back then, people pooled their money to help her. She is so heartless."

"You can only know a person's face but not his heart. My father was right. The more beautiful a woman is, the crueler her heart is. The King of Chu will be unlucky for marrying such a princess for the rest of his life."

The voices of people's discussions came like a tide, but Feng Qingluan didn't look at them, but stared straight at Pan Yulian.

Pan Yulian was frightened by her gaze and said with her neck stiff, "What? What I said is all true. Do you still want to hit me?"

At this moment, she saw Feng Ruian and Feng Shaoyuan in the crowd, and rushed over to grab Feng Ruian and drag him out:

"Neighbors, look! This is Master Feng San's daughter, the daughter of Chai Jingrou who was just taken away. She can testify for me!"

She grabbed Feng Ruian and said, "Don't you want to avenge your mother? The opportunity is here. You agree with me, and together we will tear off Feng Qingluan's mask and bring her down with disgrace!"

Feng Ruian was trembling with nervousness. Thinking that his mother might never see him again in this lifetime due to her exile, the hatred in his heart was aroused. He pointed at Feng Qingluan and said:

"Second Madam is right, Feng Qingluan, you cruel woman, give my mother back to me!"

As he said this, he winked at Feng Shao Yuan, asking him to stand up as well.

Feng Shaoyuan hesitated for a moment, and then stood against Feng Qingluan, forming a united front with Pan Yulian and Feng Ruian to confront Feng Qingluan.

Seeing the three people trying to attack her with public opinion, Feng Qingluan sneered:

“Since you want to talk about this, let me also talk about it. In order to repay your kindness, my father wanted to buy you a house and farm in Yangzhou after he was conferred the title. You were not happy about it, so you brought your whole family to the capital and lived in the Marquis’ Mansion. You have lived a life of luxury over the years, and the Marquis’ Mansion has not treated you unfairly in the slightest!

You are not satisfied. After my father passed away, you plotted to take my father's title and property, stole the money of the Marquisate, and used the reputation of the Marquisate to live a dissolute and squandering life. You even forced my grandmother to hand over the power of the family on the day of my wedding, and almost poisoned her to death!

We, the Marquis of Huguo, have repaid a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude. You, the ungrateful wolves who are claiming to be relatives, have ruined the reputation of our Marquisate by confusing right and wrong and insulting the royal princess in public. The government will decide what crime you should be punished for. Liu Qi, report to the police!"

Liu Qi hesitated and didn't move.

When she heard that she had to report to the police, Pan Yulian felt uneasy, but since the people were watching, she felt that she had a chance of winning, so she shouted even more arrogantly:

"My dear friends, you saw this. Feng Qingluan threatened us like this! She drove us out of the mansion last night like this! She left our whole family homeless in the middle of the night. How could anyone in the world treat their own family like this? She is so mean and heartless. It is unforgivable. Even if she reports it to the police, I have nothing to say!"

When Liu Qi heard the words "living on the streets", his expression turned ugly.

It was clearly the prince who helped them last night, but this shrew was ungrateful and trampled on the prince's kindness. How could the concubine, who is so gentle and kind, have such a mother who talks nonsense and doesn't know how to be grateful!

He was about to forcefully take the person away when a clear female voice spoke before him:

"Second Madam Feng, you said that the Princess of Chu kicked you out of the mansion, why don't you tell us how you bullied her before? To be honest, Miss Feng is the master of the mansion, and you are just staying at her place. You dare to boss her around and scold her outside, and I don't know how you secretly seek money and status in the mansion. I saw it with my own eyes. You beat and scolded Miss Feng at a banquet. You bullied her, and I, Liao Luoling, can testify!"

Feng Qingluan looked at the person who was speaking. She was a beautiful young lady dressed elegantly.

She looked familiar, and someone next to her said in surprise:

"It's Miss Liao from the Rongguo Mansion. Ah, she spoke for the Princess of Chu. Did Madam Feng really bully Miss Feng?"

"It's hard to imagine that the daughter of the Marquis of Protecting the Country would be bullied by a relative from the second house after the Marquis passed away. It's too shocking!"

The people's opinions changed again, and many people began to doubt the authenticity of what Pan Yulian said.

Liao Luoling gave Feng Qingluan a sweet smile. At the banquet, she wanted to talk to Miss Xue and almost went to the men's seat. It was Miss Feng who called her back in time and showed her the way to the women's seat. Otherwise, if she, an unmarried lady, appeared in the men's seat, her reputation as a girl would be damaged.

Feng Qingluan remembered who she was and nodded in response to her offer of help.

Pan Yulian was a little panicked now, and glared at Liao Luoling fiercely:

"Officials protect each other. You powerful people will of course speak for Feng Qingluan. Poor us poor people, who will speak for us? Who will help us make the decision?"

Seeing that she was pulling him and making trouble unreasonably, Liao Luoling said:

"Don't shout anymore. I've already sent someone to report to the authorities in Jingzhao Prefecture. Let the authorities decide the facts. Apart from anything else, you insulted the Princess of Chu in public, which is enough to convict you of the crime of contempt for the royal family!"

Upon hearing the accusation, Nanny You became frightened and had a premonition that something big was going to happen. She quietly left the crowd and went to Prince Chu's mansion to call Feng Shuyao.

Prince Chu's Mansion.

Nanny You told her how Pan Yulian had dragged Feng Qingluan into the street and made a scene.

Feng Shuyao's eyebrows jumped, "Where is mother? Take me there quickly!"

Suddenly she thought of something, "You said that the eldest daughter of Duke Liao's mansion is speaking for Feng Qingluan?"

Aunt You said anxiously, "Yes."

Feng Shuyao's eyes flashed with viciousness. Miss Liao was quite powerful. With that person protecting her, if...

A plan came to Feng Shuyao's mind, and she said, "Zhi Nan, go to the kitchen, let's bring something to help mother!"
