My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

"Useless! They are all useless! They can't even catch a few women and children!"

Princess Pingle got up early in the morning and prepared to meet the mother and daughter.

However, as soon as she walked out of the inner room, she heard the maid Xiaotao report that last night's mission had failed and none of the people sent to capture the mother and daughter had returned.

In a fit of rage, he smashed all the tea set on the table.

"Princess, please calm down... maybe those people were too careless. I heard that Liu brought two guards with strong martial arts skills. Your health is very important now, so you must not get angry."

Xiao Tao didn't even bother to clean up the mess on the ground. She hurried forward to support Princess Pingle and spoke carefully.

Seeing that her expression had eased a little, he quickly asked someone to clean up the situation.

The anger in Princess Pingle's heart was as hard to calm down as a raging fire. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

That Ye Wenbo is such a useless piece of shit, he can't even handle a tiny Liu, and yet he allowed that bitch to come to the capital!

She is a princess with a noble and honorable status. If this matter gets out, she will be ridiculed by people in the capital.

The last time Ye Wenbo returned to Jiangnan, she specifically told him to divorce Liu as soon as possible.

But who could have imagined that things would turn out like this.

The root of all this was that he was reluctant to give up Liu's generous dowry.

It would be fine if it was just ordinary gold and silver treasures, but Liu happened to have several precious paintings and ancient books left by Master Xingyun of the previous dynasty.

Master Xingyun was a famous talent in the previous dynasty. His paintings are priceless treasures, and each of them can trigger crazy pursuit among people.

Later, Master Xingyun saw through the world and decided to become a monk, becoming a senior monk in Jing'an Temple.

Since then, his paintings have become increasingly valuable, with one painting worth thousands of gold.

The Queen Mother had a special fondness for calligraphy and painting, and she especially admired the works of Master Xingyun.

She thought that it would not be a bad idea to hide Liu in Jiangnan.

After all, the dowry in Liu's hands might still be of use to her.

Princess Pingle took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in her heart. She looked at Xiaotao with a sharp look in her eyes: "Go, find out for me whether Liu is still in Xifeng Lane! Prepare the carriage, I want to leave the house."

Xiao Tao quickly agreed and hurried out.

Princess Pingle sat on the chair, tapping her fingers lightly on the table, thinking about what to do next.

Upon hearing that Princess Pingle had arrived at the mansion and the carriage had already stopped at the back door, Ye Wenbo hurried out.

He felt a little uneasy, wondering what the purpose of Princess Pingle's sudden visit was. When he saw Princess Pingle getting off the carriage, his heart tightened.

Princess Pingle waved away the hand that was about to help her, with a hint of displeasure and majesty on her face.

Ye Wenbo secretly thought that this was not good. This princess was notoriously difficult to deal with, and I was afraid that nothing good would happen when she came this time.

He said cautiously, "Princess, why are you here so suddenly?" His tone revealed a hint of fear and respect.

Princess Pingle snorted coldly: "How dare you ask? Didn't you say that Liu was soft-hearted? Even if she came to the capital, you could coax her into handing over her dowry with just a few words. What about now?"

Ye Wenbo quickly knelt down: "Princess, calm down, it's all my fault. That Liu is now like a shrew in the market, it's really difficult to communicate with her."

Princess Pingle glared at him: "Difficult to communicate? Do you think I'm a fool? You're a grown man, but you were beaten so badly by her people, and you didn't fight back. Could it be that you still have feelings for Liu and are deliberately fooling me?"

Ye Wenbo's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "My Lady, please understand. I dare not do that. I am loyal to you, and I have no other thoughts. Please don't be angry, or you will get hurt."

"Humph!"

Princess Pingle stood up and walked to Ye Wenbo, "You'd better find a way to deal with Liu for me, otherwise, I will have my own way to deal with you!"

Ye Wenbo nodded repeatedly: "I will do my best."

Princess Pingle glared at Ye Wenbo, turned around and got on the carriage, leaving a sentence: "Give me an explanation as soon as possible!" After that, the carriage drove away in a cloud of dust.

Ye Wenbo looked at the carriage going away, his heart filled with regret and fear.

He knew Princess Pingle's methods very well, and she would definitely not let him go.

At this moment, he regretted it very much, blaming himself for being blinded by lust and the power above him, which led to the big mistake today.

He was originally an honest and decent man. He had never thought of currying favor with the nobles in the capital. He only wanted to pass the imperial examinations and bring honor to his family.

However, after coming to the capital, he discovered that the competition here was extremely fierce and there were many talented people.

Not only were students from all over the country talented, but even the academies in Beijing were full of real talent. In such an environment, he felt unprecedented pressure and inferiority.

That day, he went to the study, and was humiliated by the son of Minister Wang in the capital and his classmates just because he looked at the expensive rare copy a few more times.

They laughed at him for being a poor scholar and wanting to get his hands on the rare copy, saying he was really overestimating his own abilities.

However, just when he felt helpless and humiliated, an unexpected person appeared-Princess Pingle.

He watched as Prince Wang and his entourage, who had just tried their best to humiliate him, knelt at the feet of Princess Pingle in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, he deeply felt the temptation of power.

From then on, he began to desire to possess such power.

Later, he met Princess Pingle many times.

Every encounter left him with a deeper impression of this beautiful and noble woman.

Although he knew that these encounters were probably not accidental, he chose to ignore this fact.

He would rather believe that it was fate that brought him and Princess Pingle together.

He fantasized countless times that if he had not married in Jiangnan, he could have married the princess.

Later, he failed the exam and was heartbroken, but Princess Pingle appeared. He thought he would see her disappointed look, but that night she rushed into his arms without hesitation.

Then, he and the princess became husband and wife.

That night, he seemed like a wild beast dominated by desire, demanding without knowing the hunger.

After waking up, he saw the princess lying in his arms. He didn't think about Liu at home at all and was filled with satisfaction.

He thought Princess Pingle would be angry with him, but the princess looked at him with love in her eyes and told him not to be discouraged, as she would arrange for him to be an official.

He and Princess Pingle had been together like this for a long time. Later, Princess Pingle said that she was pregnant and she asked him to marry her.

Marry her? How could he refuse?

Prince Shun had him arrested and brought to the palace, intending to kill him directly.

It was Princess Pingle who said in front of Prince Shun that she was pregnant with his child and that the only man he could marry was her. Prince Shun had no choice but to agree, and the princess also helped him plan a fifth-rank official position.

But, since when did Princess Pingle, whose eyes were full of him, change?

The look in her eyes when she looked at him was no longer filled with love, but more of disappointment in seeing someone she had failed to live up to her expectations.

He couldn't help but start to wonder why she fell in love with him.
