The legitimate daughter brings disaster to the concubine! Seize the imperial power and the throne

Wen Chen couldn't stand the grievances of Aunt Xian, so he went to the palace to meet Princess Qinghe. He handed in the invitation and stood waiting at the door.

The palace maids and ministers who were coming and going saw Wen Chen and all looked towards him at the same time.

"Is this Princess Qinghe's consort?"

"What kind of prince consort? He is no longer a prince consort."

"Tsk tsk, leaving the princess behind and favoring a concubine, how foolish!"

Wen Chen felt so ashamed of the palace maid's accusations that he turned away and avoided looking, but the voices penetrated his ears. He waited patiently for more than an hour, but there was no news from inside, so he gritted his teeth and went back.

Aunt Xian had sent someone to wait for Wen Chen long ago. When she saw him coming back, she excitedly came forward and said, "My husband, what did Princess Qinghe say?"

Faced with Aunt Xian's full expectations, Wen Chen's throat choked and he was unable to speak. He walked around Aunt Xian, sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all.

"Could it be that Princess Qinghe doesn't want to?" Aunt Xian frowned, looking vicious: "No wonder she sent a palace maid to humiliate me. She was targeting me on purpose. Princess Qinghe is really treacherous!"

"enough!"

Wen Chen placed the teacup heavily on the table and looked at Aunt Xian with a sullen face: "I didn't see Qinghe today."

"Why?" Aunt Xian questioned, aggrieved: "My husband, you promised me that you would go find Princess Qinghe. Do you want to watch me being bullied by a palace maid?"

Faced with the questioning, Wen Chen was too ashamed to speak, but forced to this point, he had no choice but to tell the truth, otherwise Aunt Xian would not give in again.

"I submitted the invitation, but the palace has not responded yet."

Aunt Xian was stunned.

Wen Chen raised his head and looked deeply at Aunt Xian, impatience flashed in his eyes. He stood up and said he had something else to do, and was about to leave. But Aunt Xian grabbed Wen Chen's arm and choked up, "My husband, it doesn't matter if I become a concubine or not, but what will happen to the two children who are born out of wedlock in the future?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Wen Chen raised his voice, his eyes red, "Do you know how many people point fingers at me when I go out? Even a eunuch dares to laugh at me when I stand at the palace gate. What else can I do?"

Having known Wen Chen for so many years, this was the first time he lost his temper. Aunt Xian was a little dazed and stared at Wen Chen in a daze.

This time I didn’t even dare to cry.

Subconsciously loosened my hand.

Wen Chen got so angry that he walked away.

By the time Aunt Xian realized what was happening, the person had already walked away. Aunt Xian opened her eyes wide and looked back at the maid with an innocent face: "Just now... just now, was my husband angry with me?"

The maid didn't dare to tell the truth, so she could only comfort him: "How could the master be angry with you? You are the apple of his eye. Maybe you are new here and unfamiliar with the place, so you may feel a little frustrated. But with your ability, you will be reused soon."

With the comfort of the maid, Aunt Xian sniffed and her emotions gradually calmed down.

The entire Wen family moved to the capital.

In the past, the house would definitely be packed with visitors, but now, the Wen family has been in trouble for favoring a concubine and ignoring his wife, and everyone is worried that they will be contaminated with bad things and anger the emperor, so they try to avoid the Wen family.

Patriarch Wen sat in the mansion for a whole day, but no one came to congratulate him. He sighed deeply until someone from the Shangguan family came in the evening.

"The Shangguan family?" Clan leader Wen frowned, thinking that it was the Crown Princess's maternal family, and quickly sent people to greet them.

Shangguan Si came to visit with a lot of bags and was very polite. Patriarch Wen didn't know that Shangguan Si had had an unpleasant experience with Donggong, so he was also polite to Shangguan Si.

Changing the subject, Shangguan Si asked tentatively, "I heard that General Wen wants to personally teach the young prince martial arts. Is this true?"

Patriarch Wen nodded and looked at Shangguan Si in confusion.

"Your Highness is very talented. If he could be personally taught by the general..."

"His Highness the Great Lord has arrived!"

There was a sharp shout from outside the door.

Patriarch Wen's expression changed slightly.

Shangguan Si was even more uneasy. He had chosen to come in the evening to avoid being seen, but he didn't expect to run into Lu Jingning by such a coincidence.

What bad luck!

Lu Jingning came to the Wen family with a group of people. Due to mourning, she wore a simple and elegant light-colored long skirt. There were only two jade hairpins in her temples. She had a light-colored ribbon tied behind her long hair. She was rushing towards this side.

Seeing Shangguan Si, Lu Jingning raised his eyebrows: "Lord Shangguan is here too."

Once upon a time, she also called him uncle affectionately.

But now I really can’t call him uncle.

Shangguan Si bowed to Lu Jingning and said, "I pay my respects to the Majesty."

Lu Jingning did not call out, but walked around Shangguan Si and came in front of Patriarch Wen. Patriarch Wen saluted but was helped up by Lu Jingning himself.

Shangguan Si was the only one in the hall who was bowing and saluting, looking somewhat awkward.

Patriarch Wen looked at this scene and understood that the Lord Shangguan in front of him must have a conflict with the eldest brother!

And it looks quite heavy!

After Lu Jingning sat down in the main seat, he looked at Shangguan Si with contempt and said in a light tone: "This palace and Patriarch Wen have something to talk about alone, Lord Shangguan, please leave."

He was directly driven away. Shangguan Si's face turned pale and blue, but he did not dare to refute. He could only grit his teeth and endure it, and said softly, "Yes."

Shangguan Si then withdrew.

Patriarch Wen looked at Lu Jingning thoughtfully. The Shangguan family was the maternal family of the Crown Princess, and Shangguan Si was Lu Jingning's uncle.

Why are the two so cold when they meet?

Lu Jingning and Clan Leader Wen exchanged a few pleasantries, presented the housewarming gift to each other, and asked when General Wen would go to the East Palace to teach Lin'er.

It turns out he was here to urge someone.

"Don't worry, my lady. General Wen will definitely go to the East Palace tomorrow and will not delay the young prince."

Having said this, Lu Jingning was very satisfied and got up to leave.

After getting on the carriage, Xue Yuan came forward and asked: "How did you know that Lord Shangguan would come to the Wen family?"

Lu Jingning closed his eyes and thought, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips: "They are not going to give up until they reach the Yellow River. They think that I can't do anything to them. They are just hoping for the best."

The moment Lu Jingning met Shangguan Si at the Wen family, the last bit of leeway he had left for the Shangguan family was gone.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Send Shangguan Qingfeng back."

Xue Yuan understood.

an hour later

Shangguan Si had just returned home when Shangguan Qingfeng was carried back. When he came back, not a single part of his body was intact; even his underwear was wet and stained with blood.

When Murong saw her youngest son, she rushed over with a cry: "Qingfeng, what's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Qingfeng had already fallen into a coma.

"Go get the doctor."

Soon the doctor arrived. After examining Shangguan Qingfeng, he whispered, "The Third Young Master's limbs and veins are damaged, and his internal organs are seriously injured. His life is in danger."
