Several sturdy old women rushed forward and pounced on Wen Qingcheng. Before Wen Qingcheng could figure out what was going on, she spun around, crouched down and squeezed out from the gap between the old women, picked up a wooden stool on the ground and smashed it at them. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Qingcheng caught a glimpse of a sword hanging on the wall. She grabbed the hilt and with a crisp sound of metal friction, the sword was drawn out of its sheath.

The young ladies who came to watch the fun were so frightened that they screamed. The door was suddenly kicked open, and the cold air outside poured in. Yingge walked in with a sword in her hand.

Jin Jiarou and a few other people who were watching the fun were afraid of getting hurt, so they quickly slipped out and stood in the yard, watching the show from a distance.

At this time, Princess Pingning heard the loud noise outside and came out from the inner room. She saw Wen Qingcheng and Yingge both holding swords. She was so shocked that she gasped, and several maids protected her.

Princess Pingning's face darkened when she saw this. This little vixen, relying on the Marquis's love, dared to act wild in the Marquis's mansion. And the young man with a sword next to her, when did a man sneak into the inner house! Yingge usually dressed up as a man, and Princess Pingning didn't see through her and thought she was a boy.

"Hurry up and send this thief to see the authorities!" Princess Pingning shouted sternly.

Several maids looked at each other and dared not step forward. When Princess Pingning saw that these old slaves under her command could not subdue a little girl, her face immediately darkened. "You bunch of useless people, she is just a little girl, and you can't take her down with so many people? That sword is not sharpened!"

"Madam, this woman is fierce, and this thief, who came out of nowhere, has a sharp weapon in his hand. In my opinion, we should let the guards take them down."

Ye Jinqian did not expect Wen Qingcheng to be such a tough guy. She had wanted to capture her and intimidate her. Firstly, Wen Qingcheng had just taken Zhu Ling away from her, making her lose face in front of all the noble ladies. Secondly, she knew that Wen Liang treated Wen Qingcheng very well and suspected that they had an affair. So she took advantage of the fact that Wen Liang was not in the backyard and sent Wen Qingcheng away on the pretext of something.

Seeing that both of them were holding swords, Ye Jinqian quietly moved towards the door, but was seen by Yingge, who placed a long sword across Ye Jinqian's neck and shoulder, forcing her back.

"How dare you! Who are you to be rude to the young lady?" Princess Pingning was still calm, but when she saw the sword on her daughter's neck, she shouted angrily.

Yingge also had a murderous look on her face, and she reached out to pull Wen Qingcheng away. Princess Pingning was about to say something when she heard a male voice outside the courtyard.

"Sir, this is the inner courtyard, you cannot enter."

Everyone looked outside the courtyard gate, only to see Mo Jinghong striding in with a gloomy face, followed by A Falcon, who also had a stern face. The guards did not dare to stop him.

As soon as Mo Jinghong came in, he saw his little girl holding a sword in her hand, surrounded by a group of sturdy old women, and he was immediately filled with anger.

"Jinghong?" Mo Jinghong's sudden visit and appearance in the inner courtyard surprised Princess Pingning.

Wen Liang had just seen off the guests in the front yard. When he heard that something had happened in the backyard, he hurried over to check what was going on.

Mo Jinghong ignored Princess Pingning. Seeing Wen Liang coming over, he bowed to him and said, "My Lord, I came here uninvited today. Please forgive me for being so rude."

"Prince...Prince? Why are you here?"

Mo Jinghong's arrival instantly made Jin Jiarou and other noble ladies present stare at him. They had heard of Mo Jinghong's name in their inner chambers. He was the prince of Qin and a nobleman. Although he had a bad reputation when he was young, he has now turned over a new leaf, made military achievements, and is now a powerful general and a favorite of the emperor. He is now the dream man of many inner chambers' ladies.

Jin Jiarou was a little dazed when she saw the tall and heroic figure and the cold and noble Mo Jinghong. This was the Prince of Qin. She had seen him from afar on the street. He was riding on a horse, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. She had never forgotten him since then.

Princess Pingning knew Mo Jinghong. Her mother, Princess Liyang, and the King of Qin were siblings, and Princess Pingning was Mo Jinghong's cousin. However, Mo Jinghong was expelled from the King of Qin's mansion and had a bad reputation. She didn't want to associate with this cousin. Now that Mo Jinghong has regained his status as a prince and has been named a general, he is in the limelight. Even the mean Princess Pingning is polite to Mo Jinghong.

"The prince is here. We are relatives and should visit each other more often. Someone, serve tea to the prince." Princess Pingning said.

Mo Jinghong said coldly, "I just heard that my daughter was wronged in the mansion, so I came here specially. I didn't expect that this dignified mansion would bully a little girl. Cousin, I am here to seek justice."

Jin Jiarou was confused. Could it be that Mo Jinghong came here for that lowly female doctor?

Princess Pingning smiled awkwardly. She had never had much contact with this cousin. He had joined the army with the prince when he was a teenager and did not come back until he became an adult. Later, he got into trouble and hid away. The two had never had much interaction, so Mo Jinghong was naturally not that polite to Princess Pingning.

"Jinghong, who is the girl you are talking about?" asked Princess Pingning.

Mo Jinghong walked in front of Wen Qingcheng, blocking her with his tall body. "Wen Qingcheng is my wife-to-be. It was because the Marquis begged me to come to the mansion to treat the old lady. I didn't expect her to suffer such a great injustice, forcing her to draw her sword to protect herself. If I hadn't sent guards to protect her secretly, how would you deal with her?"

Mo Jinghong's face darkened. When he came in and saw his little girl surrounded by several old servants and being scolded by Princess Pingning, forcing her to draw her sword, he felt heartbroken.

Princess Pingning was shocked by the aura emanating from Mo Jinghong. After being tempered by the hardships of life at the frontier, the once handsome young man was now filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent.

When Jin Jiarou heard Mo Jinghong say that Wen Qingcheng was his wife-to-be, jealousy filled her chest. How could a lowly female doctor be his wife? She was not even worthy of being a concubine. He didn't even look at her. His heart and eyes were filled with that lowly female doctor.

Ye Jinqian was also shocked and took a breath. She didn't expect that Wen Qingcheng had some tricks. Not only did she confuse Mo Jinghong, but she also confuse Wen Liang. Both of them protected her. Besides her good looks, what else could she have that made two men protect her like this?

Princess Pingning smiled and said, "Jinghong, what are you talking about? How come I don't know about the wife who has not yet married me? This Doctor Wen is a commoner, right?"

"No matter what her identity is, she is my legal wife and the future Crown Prince's consort. Her affairs are my affairs. If you have anything to say, come to me!"

This remark instantly silenced everyone present. Princess Pingning was very surprised. Mo Jinghong was now in power and many noble ladies wanted to marry him, but he chose to marry a commoner as his wife. He had been rebellious since childhood, and she didn't expect that he would still be so impulsive after he grew up.

Wen Liang was very relieved. He was right in choosing the right person. He entrusted Qingcheng to him.

"So it's Jinghong's people. Why didn't Doctor Wen tell you earlier? It's actually nothing serious."

Wen Liang asked: "Madam, what is going on?"
