The Wang family has always had a high opinion of themselves.

In addition, Wang Lanzhi is now the Crown Princess.

In the future, the Wang family will definitely prosper and become the most powerful and noble family in the imperial capital.

Maybe it can even be compared with the mysterious thousand-year-old family that Queen Wang mentioned.

Therefore, the Wang family has always been arrogant.

Even if Su Shujing's father is Su Shizhi, so what?

Wang Baobao looked down on Su Shujing, and the Wang family also looked down on the Su family.

Su Shi is not the only one who can be a great literary scholar in this world.

There are so many talented and learned officials in the Hanlin Academy.

Each of them is a great scholar.

Su Shizhi's talent is actually not just one of them.

The reason why Su Shizhi is the most famous among so many literary scholars is simply because of his own legendary color.

A talented man who was exiled to the northern border, with his talents, promoted trade cooperation between the two countries.

Therefore, when Su Shizhi's achievements were reported back to the Great Sheng Dynasty, the children from poor families became proud of him.

But Su Shizhi has had a bad reputation recently, and people are saying all kinds of things about him.

Some even say that the reason why Su Shizhi was able to promote trade cooperation between the two countries was not because of his extraordinary talents and his ability to impress the people of Mobei.

Instead, he relied on Zhou Mingzhu to seduce the leader of the Mobei people.

Of course, these are just some of the rumors.

There is no extra evidence to prove the authenticity of this rumor.

In fact, Su Shizhi's reputation is not worth anything to the Wang family.

But Su Shizhi came from a poor family.

Before the Su family was exiled, they had lived in the imperial capital for generations, leading a prosperous life.

At that time, the Su family called itself a noble family.

Moreover, Su Shizhi's father has always been disgusted with and disliked the rich and powerful.

Su Shizhi's father was a minor official. Because of his pride, he offended many powerful people.

But it was precisely this pride that brought Su Shizhi's father many benefits.

For example, Su Shizhi's father was very popular among children from poor families.

It’s similar to Su Shizhi not long ago.

Later, when the Su family's house was ransacked, a lot of gold, silver and treasures were found in it.

They were all given to Su Shizhi's father by the children from poor families.

It is said that this incident caused quite a stir in the imperial capital at that time.

After all, in the eyes of everyone, Su Shizhi's father, who had a strong and proud character, lived a very poor life.

The Su family shouldn't have much money.

The result surprised everyone.

And now that Su Shizhi has led the Su family back to the imperial capital, his reputation has become so bad again.

The children from poor families began to no longer buy into Su Shizhi's ideas.

Your Majesty has only just given Su Shizhi a fifth-rank official position.

Even if Su Shizhi were to become famous again, his daughter would not be worthy of the Wang family.

Wang Baobao's gaze lingered on the officials.

He has been short of money recently. The Wang family’s wealth is running out and they don’t have much money to give him.

If Wang Baobao were to marry, he would marry a rich and noble lady, not a poor guy like Su Shujing.

It would be best if he had a dowry of ten miles of red makeup, which would ensure that he could eat, drink, have fun, and spend his whole life in luxury without having to worry about money.

Zhou Mingzhu was so angry at the Wang family's shamelessness that she lost control.

She walked down the stairs with her skirt lifted up and rushed to Wang Baobao.

The officials who came to attend the wedding banquet at the East Palace today all looked at Zhou Mingzhu.

Zhou Mingzhu grabbed Wang Baobao's collar.

"Are you still a man? Why don't you admit what you did?"

"I believe my daughter is telling the truth. In front of so many people, you must give her an explanation!"

"Otherwise, I will go before His Majesty and explain myself clearly today!"

Mrs. Xu held the handkerchief in her hand, and laughed as she joined in the conversation.

"Yes, how could a pure and innocent girl randomly find a father for the child in her belly?"

"Don't refuse, Prince Wang!"

Old Madam Wang looked at Madam Xu viciously.

She remembered the Xu family, and once the Wang family gained power, the first target would be the Xu family.

Zhou Mingzhu pulled Wang Baobao to meet Emperor Bai Jing.

Seeing Zhou Mingzhu's strong attitude, Old Lady Wang could only deal with Zhou Mingzhu. She scolded:

"Everyone knows that His Majesty is in seclusion. He didn't even come out for the Crown Prince's wedding."

"Zhou Mingzhu, are you disturbing His Majesty?"

Seeing this, Zhou Mingzhu sat down on the ground and started to throw a tantrum.

"My daughter said it herself that the father of the baby in her belly is Wang Baobao."

"I don't care. My husband has made great contributions to the Great Sheng Dynasty. You can't do this to our Su family."

"Wang Baobao, you bullied my daughter. You forced her. My daughter definitely didn't want to at first."

For the sake of your own reputation.

Zhou Mingzhu used the fact that Su Shujing was pregnant before marriage to make it seem like Wang Baobao was forcing Su Shujing.

The people around her actually thought that what Zhou Mingzhu said made sense.

After all, Wang Baobao has had a very bad reputation in the imperial capital for so many years.

Mrs. Xu nodded with a gloating look.

"Madam Su's words make sense. Wasn't my girl almost forced by Prince Wang?"

Many people in the imperial capital knew about this matter, but the person Wang Baobao wanted to make a fait accompli with was Madam Xu's daughter.

At the beginning, the Xu family was unwilling to marry their daughter to someone like Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao then thought of forcing Miss Xu into his own.

At that time, in order to protect Miss Xu's innocence, the Xu family would have no choice but to marry Miss Xu to Wang Baobao.

The Wang family and the Minister of War have become relatives, so are they still worried about not getting military power?

As a result, Miss Xu was lucky and did not fall for Wang Baobao's trick.

However, Miss Xu's personal maid was almost eaten up by Wang Baobao!

Fortunately, the girl at that time struggled hard and attracted the attention of others.

Only then did he rescue the girl from Wang Baobao's clutches.

From then on, the Xu family protected Miss Xu layer by layer.

The girl who was almost defiled by Wang Baobao was also given a sum of money as compensation by the Xu family.

Later, the Xu family returned the indenture contract to the girl and let her return to the countryside.

After Mrs. Xu mentioned this matter.

Everyone began to believe that Su Shujing was forced by Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao was so angry that his feet were jumping up and down.

Old Lady Wang looked at Zhou again and again.

At this time, Old Lady Wang hoped that Zhou could come out and say a few words for the Wang family, after all, Zhou was Zhou Mingzhu's sister.

But there was a faint light in Zhou's eyes, and at this time Zhou chose to remain silent.

The matter was settled, and everyone tacitly assumed that the child in Su Shujing's belly was Wang Baobao's.

The officials concerned advised Madam Wang,

"People should avoid committing evil. A pure and innocent girl has been defiled by Prince Wang. Shouldn't Prince Wang be held responsible?"

"This is the Imperial Palace. We should make a big deal out of a small matter, lest we alarm His Majesty and even the Empress be punished."
