I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

She snorted coldly, her anger still lingering, "You're not telling the truth, are you? Fine, I'll go and see for myself!"

She lifted her skirt and walked quickly towards Qianxing Pavilion. Her heart was burning with anger, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind. Who on earth could make Hai Wuya so worried?

When they reached the gate of Qianxing Pavilion, several guards stepped forward to stop them. "Madam, please stay."

"Get out of the way!" she said coldly.

The guards looked embarrassed but did not dare to move.

"Okay, even you dare to stop me?" Wen laughed in anger and rushed forward. The guards were unable to stop her and could only watch her break into Qianxing Pavilion.

The lights in Qianxing Pavilion are bright.

She ran straight to the inner room, pushed open the door, and saw a young woman sitting by the bed with a pale face and frightened eyes.

"Who are you?" Wen asked sternly.

The woman was startled, and before she could answer, an old voice interrupted her.

"Why are you here?" Master Hai had a gloomy expression, and was obviously very dissatisfied with her intrusion.

"I would like to ask, Master, why is Qianxing Pavilion heavily guarded? Is it just for this woman? Is it because I didn't do well enough or because I didn't give you a concubine? So that you slap me, the wife of a big house, in the face like this?" Wen asked.

Master Hai saw her sad face and sighed, "This is not what you think. You shouldn't care."

"Shouldn't I care? You've made me lose face for this woman, how can I just ignore it!" Mrs. Wen was furious.

Master Hai was silent for a moment, and finally spoke, "I don't need to explain this to you. In any case, don't make things difficult for her."

Mrs. Wen sneered, "What a considerate husband you are, but what about me? Have you ever thought about my feelings?"

As he said this, he was about to pull his sleeve.

Master Hai pushed her away, his face showing a sullen expression, "What are you doing? Someone, take her away! Don't let her in again!"

Wen was unconvinced and started to curse. "Hai Wuya! How dare you do this to me! If it weren't for my father, you wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Before she could finish her unpleasant words, Wen was pulled away.

Wen was forcibly dragged out of Qianxing Pavilion by two servants, her eyes were full of anger, but she knew that continuing to make a fuss at this time would only make herself more embarrassed.

When she returned to her own courtyard, she was still angry and full of doubts and resentment. She had to find a reliable person to help her solve this problem. So she decided to find her son Hai Yanqing.

Hai Yanqing was studying in the study room. When she saw her mother rushing in angrily, she stood up and walked over to her in confusion. "Mom, what happened? Why are you so excited?"

When Mrs. Wen saw her son, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down. She choked and said, "Yanqing, your father...he actually wants to take a concubine now. He even secretly brought that girl into the mansion without telling me, and provided her with all kinds of delicacies and gorgeous clothes. It's really despicable!"

Hai Yanqing frowned, helped her mother sit down, and comforted her softly, "Mother, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what happened?"

Mrs. Wen wiped her tears and told Hai Yanqing everything that happened in Qianxing Pavilion. Finally, she said angrily, "I have worked hard in this family for so many years, but I was humiliated by your father! How old is he? He still wants to touch a young girl to slap your mother in the face?!"

After listening to this, Hai Yanqing was silent for a moment. Suddenly he thought of Wei Chuchu who was taken away, and he understood most of what happened.

He said softly, "Mother, please don't get excited. Don't get yourself hurt by anger."

"Tell me, if your father wanted to take a concubine, would I stop him?" Mrs. Wen slammed the table.

"Yes." Hai Yan said coldly.

"You little bastard! I love you so much in vain!" Mrs. Wen slapped him.

Hai Yanqing was slapped on the back, it hurt like hell, but he explained calmly: "Mother! Dad doesn't want to take a concubine, Wei Chuchu is just used by him..."

"Wait, Wei Chuchu?" Wen was stunned for a moment, then she realized instantly that she had heard of this name before. She was the famous singing girl in the brothel.

She had once secretly pledged her love to Wan Muqing, the second son of the Wan family. Later, on the day of Wan Muqing's wedding with the daughter of a high-ranking official, she made a scene at the wedding banquet, which caused a huge uproar and became known to everyone.

Thinking of this, she sneered, "What a grand show, even a prostitute can live in Qianxing Pavilion in my Hai Mansion. And she's that kind of stuff! He snatched the unwanted things from others and treated them as treasures? I think your father is crazy! He dares to let a prostitute in!"

She became more and more excited as she spoke, so Hai Yanqing quickly pushed her down.

"Mother! Keep your voice down! Family disgrace should not be made public!"

"What?! Family shame?! Even you think your father has feelings for that little bitch? And you're helping him hide it?! I think I gave birth to you in vain! You're not as considerate as Ze'er!" Mrs. Wen put her hands on her hips and gritted her teeth.

Hai Yanqing's mind moved.

"Mother, you know that it is not for a son to ask about his father's affairs. Besides, do you know where my eldest brother is?"

"Stop talking. He's also a worry. Didn't he say he was going back to Yunnan a long time ago? He hasn't written home in a few months. If it weren't for Ze'er's martial arts skills, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sleep at night!"

She patted her chest, not realizing that Hai Yanqing had changed the subject. "What about you? What have you been busy with recently? Did you have a fight with that princess?"

Hai Yanqing panicked when he heard this, "How did mother know?"

"Tsk. He used to find excuses to go to the princess's mansion every day, and he wouldn't listen no matter what I said. Now, except for going to court, he stays at home all day long. Anyone can see it, let alone a mother like me!"

Mrs. Wen shook her head helplessly, "Forget it. Anyway, remember that the overall situation is still undecided, so try to have less contact with the An family."

"...The overall situation is still undecided?" Hai Yanqing looked out the window in confusion, "But I see that the people are living and working in peace and contentment now, so why do we have to..."

"Shut up!" Wen's face suddenly changed.

Hai Yanqing looked at her and didn't dare to say anything.

"Don't you think about it? Your father served in the court for decades, but was forced by those two emperors to resign and return home step by step. The wings your father had cultivated for many years were all clipped. Some were deposed, some were exiled, and some were imprisoned. How could we know that he would not attack Ze'er and you next?"

"...Mother, I understand." Hai Yanqing became dejected.

"No. You don't know. You also don't know that seven years ago, when the barbarians invaded, Ze'er was shot through the crotch by the enemy while charging into battle to defend the southern border. He will never have a child again in this life! Even so, look at An Zhaoyan now, is he trying to take back the military power? He wants us to die!"

Hai Yanze looked at Wen in shock, feeling even more conflicted.
