My husband is pure and has few desires, but I gave birth to three children in a row

When everyone present heard this, except for the third master who was still angry, everyone else's expression changed drastically.

The eldest master had been saying that he had been in poor health recently, but now he strode forward at a speed that was inappropriate for his age and slapped Fu Zhiming in the face: "If you want to die, don't drag your family down with you! How can you say such things without thinking?"

After the beating, the master was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot and his whole body was shaking.

How could he have given birth to such a fool! Even if he had hooked up with the Grand Princess of Deqing and the Third Prince, could he have just said it so carelessly?

Not to mention, the promise that he would pass the imperial examination next year was simply a sign of seeking death, and there was no way to stop him!

What do you call this? This is called cheating in the imperial examinations. If it gets out, it's a massive scandal, implicating the Grand Princess Deqing and the Third Prince. With just a little tampering, it could become a major case that could shake up the officialdom!

That is simply crossing the bottom line of His Majesty!

Are you dissatisfied with the fact that everyone in Ningping Marquis's Mansion has too long a life?

Fu Zhiming covered his face and looked at the master angrily.

He really didn't know how big a handle these words would be if they were heard by outsiders.

But he is fearless.

Because he knew that among the people present, even if others did not say it, the old marquis, the eldest master and Fu Zhijian would not let this news, which was enough to overthrow the marquis's mansion, spread out of the mansion.

Since the news could not be spread, and he had the support of Princess Deqing and the Third Prince, even the old marquis had to think twice.

Therefore, he sneered: "Whether I said anything or not, everyone knows it very well! Master, please don't hit your son again. You know, I am now the tutor of the eldest son in the Third Prince's Mansion."

"Master, you don't want your son to go to the Third Prince's residence in a few days with the marks on his face, right? If the Third Prince asks about it, how should your son answer?"

The master's face turned pale and blue.

He clenched his fists tightly, he really wanted to beat Fu Zhiming again, but Fu Zhiming's two sentences really hit his vital point.

He can't beat him!

He was so angry that he could only turn his head away while gasping for breath.

The old marquis forced himself to calm down at this moment: "Ming'er, do you know what you are doing? His Majesty is still in the prime of life, you, you just--" He didn't dare to say that sentence in the end.

Everyone wants to be a dragon's disciple, but this path is not easy.

Although most of the princes have already entered the court and have their own power.

In addition, the emperor had not appointed a crown prince, and he was not unaware of the increasingly fierce competition among several older princes in the court.

But the emperor has always been in good health, so it is hard to say which prince will eventually take the throne.

The third prince is the third in the family. His biological mother is Concubine Zhao, who was posthumously named Concubine Zhao Guifei. When she was alive, she was still favored by the emperor.

Compared with the eldest prince and the second prince, his birth is noble.

In other words, among so many princes, except for the Sixth Prince, the Third Prince has the highest status and origin.

But the Sixth Prince was much older than the previous princes, and he hadn't even married a wife yet.

Secondly, he is a free-spirited person who doesn't like worldly affairs. Therefore, among the princes who are ranked higher, it seems that the third prince has the greatest chance of being appointed as the crown prince.

In recent years, the third prince has been actively recruiting talents and has been surrounded by a considerable force.

I have also tried to probe the Ningping Marquis' Mansion, but the old marquis is always cautious.

He knew very well that for a family of old nobles like theirs, it would be difficult to take sides easily.

After all, as long as they are loyal to every emperor, no matter who comes to power, they will be treated well, and their status will not change much and will remain stable.

But if you stand on the wrong side, there will be no recovery.

So he politely declined.

But at this moment, Fu Zhiming suddenly broke the stable situation that had been followed by generations in the Marquis' Mansion.

Fu Zhiming actually sided with the Third Prince. If outsiders knew about this, it would probably mean that the Ningping Marquisate was on the Third Prince's side.

It would be fine if the third prince could ascend to the throne, as wealth and honor are achieved through risk.

But if the third prince had not ascended the throne, the Ningping Marquis's Mansion would be in danger.

Therefore, the old marquis really wanted to tear Fu Zhiming apart at this moment.

But he really didn't dare to take action. Judging from the current situation, the third prince still had a great chance of winning. Even Princess Deqing was on his side, which meant that some members of the royal family had already chosen the third prince.

Now the Marquis' Mansion faces two choices: either completely side with the Third Prince, or completely break off relations with the Third Prince.

But the old marquis doesn’t dare, he doesn’t dare to gamble!

Now I am in a dilemma.

Only then did I realize that this was the real revenge of Princess Deqing against the Marquis' Mansion.

Fu Zhiming sneered, "Your Majesty is already old, and the Third Prince is in his prime. He is a rare commodity at this time. If you wait until the Third Prince ascends the throne to get close to him, people will no longer be interested in him."

"Grandfather, I've said everything I need to say. Please think carefully about this! If you're considering the long-term plans of the Marquisate, you'd better give up on the Fourth Prince as soon as possible. After all, the Fourth Prince has already been disliked by His Majesty, and his future is ruined! You don't still want to go against Princess Deqing and the Third Prince for the Fourth Prince, do you? If you do, you'll be attacked from both sides—"

After saying that, he gave a malicious smile to Fu Zhiyi, who had been sitting silently drinking tea, and walked away.

The room was dead silent; the only sounds that could be heard were the old marquis's wheezing and spitting in his throat.

No matter how extravagant the Third Master was, he could tell something was wrong. He had no big ideas to begin with, and he had been so frightened that he sat down on his chair, and he was still in shock.

The second master glanced at Fu Zhiyi inconspicuously, then looked at the expressions of the first master and the old marquis, and wisely remained silent.

Fu Zhijian was torn between conscience and desire in his mind at this moment.

One is to preserve the glory of the Marquis' Mansion and not offend Princess Deqing and the Third Prince.

For a moment, he thought, Fu Zhiyi is my blood brother, is he really going to give up? Isn't that too cold-hearted?

My mind was in a mess.

Although the master was also angry with Fu Zhiming, he was moved by his words.

Seeing that no one was talking, he gritted his teeth and said, "Father, although Ming'er's words are extremely rebellious and unpleasant to the ear, they are the truth. We can't afford to mess around like this in our house now—"

He looked towards the third room with a pointed look.

The Third Master was keenly aware of the First Master's ill intentions and immediately jumped up from his chair. "Boss, what do you want to say? What's the matter? Your son first disobeyed the old man's wishes, and then colluded with the Grand Princess Deqing and the Third Prince. The punishment should be your good son! My brother Yi has become like this because of your son!"

"Now that your son is fine, are you going to sacrifice my brother Yi? Don't even think about it!"

The third master was furious.

Damn it! His son, a top scholar in the imperial examination, had a promising future, but he was harmed like this by Ming Ge'er from the old family. Not only did he not apologize, he even wanted to give up Yi Ge'er. Is there any justice in this?
