Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Three days later.

Yang Qi's residence was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

But unlike any other housewarming, the visitors stayed for a short while.

They often leave gifts and then turn around and leave.

The backyard is even more deserted.

There was no banquet, and there was not even a table in the huge courtyard.

Yang Qi was alone with his teacup in his hand, and when he heard the report from the servant, he smiled happily.

How good is this deal?

You give me gifts, but I don't have to entertain you.

If you come here a few more times, you will be able to achieve a well-off life.

As he calculated his own small treasury, Yang Qi's face gradually showed a thoughtful look.

Now I have money, although it is not much, but it is enough to support the occasion.

Next, you must build your own power.

But at the foot of the imperial city, in the eyes of the emperor.

Can my every move escape the eyes of that cheap old man?

"Hey, you should eat one bite at a time. It's true."

After hesitating for a long time, Yang Qi sighed.

If this thing is to be realized, I'm afraid it will take another opportunity.

Suddenly, Ma Han came over and spoke in a panic.

"Your Highness, you should go and take a look. Miss Situ from the Zhenbei Palace is here."

What is she here to do?

Yang Qi raised his eyebrows, hesitating secretly.

In name only.

The other party is his daughter-in-law who is not yet married, and is also half a family member.

But judging from the Situ family's previous behavior, Yang Qi would never believe that the other party would be so kind as to congratulate him?

Think about it.

Yang Qi sneered.

This girl, is she here to laugh at me?

However, since she was able to show up, it was equivalent to accepting the fate of the Zhenbei Palace.

I can take this opportunity to teach this unruly woman a lesson, so that she won't be ignorant of etiquette when she gets married.

"Bring the people here!"

……

"The eldest prince moved into a new house, but he didn't even set up a table. What's going on? The eldest prince wouldn't be so picky about such a small amount of money, would he?"

After a cup of tea, Situ Jing appeared.

As soon as I stepped through the courtyard door, I was scolded.

Yang Qi responded with a forced smile, "There's no one here anyway, so why have a banquet? Isn't that just throwing away the excess money?"

"You are the eldest prince. It's really unbecoming of your status to be so concerned about such a small amount of money."

Seeing Situ Jing with her hands on her hips, Yang Qi raised her eyelids and said, "You are still the prince's consort. I don't see you feeling embarrassed at all. You are still standing here making sarcastic remarks. It seems that you, the hostess, don't take this matter seriously."

"Bah!" Faced with such ridicule, Situ Jing's face flushed: "Yang Qi, I'm warning you, even if I agree to the marriage, after we get married, don't even think about laying a finger on me!"

"Besides, we don't know when we're going to get married yet. If you dare to say something nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Thinking of Yang Qi's reputation as a coward, Situ Jing just hoped that her threat would be effective.

However, he didn't expect that this time Yang Qi behaved out of character. Instead of being afraid, he came straight up to him and started talking with a grin.

"Come on, you are the granddaughter of the King of Zhenbei. If you have the guts, I'm here today. Do you dare to pull my mouth and try?"

"If you dare to move, I will immediately kneel down and sing Conquer for you!"

These few words can be said to be the ultimate expression of arrogance and domineering behavior.

Situ Jing was so angry that her chest heaved, but she didn't notice that Yang Qi had actually taken a big advantage.

This girl...why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?

Looking at the size of Situ Jing's chest, Yang Qi couldn't help but admire in his heart that if she had a child, she would definitely not starve.

Isn't this woman wild?

Today I will rub her aura well.

It will also help her understand what family status is!

"I think you're just good at talking. I gave you a chance, but you're useless!"

Seeing Situ Jing gasping for breath but not moving his hands, Yang Qi pretended to be contemptuous and raised his sarcasm to the maximum.

However, he didn't expect that just when he relaxed his vigilance, Situ Jing suddenly stepped forward.

Before Yang Qi could react, she had already grabbed his fingers!

The heart-wrenching pain spread from the right hand to the top of the head.

Yang Qi's whole body was tense and his eyes were wide open.

This chick has definitely practiced!

Feeling the strength in Situ Jing's hand, Yang Qi became more convinced that his mother's family was not to be trifled with.

But this time, I absolutely cannot bow my head.

Even if it hurts, you have to endure it!

Otherwise, how will you have the chance to look up in the future?

"Have you not eaten?"

In his previous life, Yang Qi was able to enter the Command Academy and become one of the best there. He had experienced all kinds of hardships.

Pain is a common occurrence for him.

At this moment, he forced himself to endure it, looked at Situ Jing calmly, and spoke.

"If you really have the guts, just break this finger of mine. In the end, I can just go to my father and make a scene, and it will be you, the Zhenbei Palace, who will suffer."

"you……"

"If you don't dare, take your hand back!" Yang Qi suddenly raised his voice, drowning out Situ Jing's voice.

"From now on, do your duty as the Crown Princess. If you dare to mess around like you did yesterday, I will divorce you without mercy."

"You...you are talking nonsense!" Situ Jing and Yang Qi looked at each other.

When he heard the other party tarnishing his innocence, he subconsciously started to defend himself.

For some reason, Situ Jing saw something strange in Yang Qi's eyes this time.

It was as if the other party had changed his previous cowardly character, and he was so serious that he even felt a little breathless.

Even though Situ Jing had been strong in the past, this time, she was finally defeated by Yang Qi's gaze and slowly let go of her hand.

At the same time, a detail suddenly dawned on me.

"You...you did it on purpose yesterday, right? It wasn't Xu Jie who pushed you down at all. You framed him!"

She thought that Yang Qi might start to argue when faced with such a topic.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qi admitted it directly and openly.

"That's right. Xu Jie knew I was engaged to you, but he still dared to approach you. He's simply courting death! If I don't punish him, won't he become a laughing stock in the future?"

An inexplicable sense of dominance came over her. Hearing this response, Situ Jing felt that the man in front of her was particularly unfamiliar.

"You...you're not afraid that I'll tell the Xu family if you say that?" She was still unwilling to admit defeat and threatened with her last bit of strength.

Unexpectedly, Yang Qi said something shocking: "Afraid? Just say it. If I say the word afraid, I will kneel down and kowtow to you on the spot!"

"Also, I can tell you clearly, let alone the small Xu family, even if it's the emperor, what can they do? I'm taking this opportunity to make money today in order to raise an army and build my own power!"

"I want to rebel. I want to occupy the north and fight against the imperial court!"

This guy... is crazy!

……

"Second Aunt, listen to me. Let's go to the palace and see the emperor right away. As long as we tell him what Yang Qi said, we can definitely cancel the engagement."

Half an hour later, Situ Jing hurried back to the Zhenbei Palace, repeated Yang Qi's previous statement, and made a proposal to her second aunt.

The second daughter-in-law of the Situ family is also a remarkable woman. Her name is Ye Xuan. She did not marry into the Zhenbei Palace at the beginning. She started from scratch and had her own industry at a young age.

Hearing what Situ Jing said, Ye Xuan frowned slightly and nodded.

"Let's go, let's go to the palace and see the emperor. Also, call your mother and your brother and the others, and we will die together as a family!"

Lead to death?

Even if he dies, it's still Yang Qi, right?

"Second Aunt, what do you mean?" Situ Jing paused and asked in confusion.

Ye Xuan then explained, "Coming from the eldest prince, this may be true, but think about it, if you spread it from your mouth, would anyone believe it?"

hum...

Situ Jing's body trembled slightly and she reacted.

Yeah, who would believe it?

He, Yang Qi, was just a poor prince. When he moved into a new house, he had no one to eat with.

He's a lone commander, and you say he's rebelling?

It’s so laughable!

Also, what is your identity?

I am the prince's consort!

By then, I'm afraid His Majesty will only think that the Zhenbei Palace is throwing dirty water on Yang Qi in order to avoid the engagement.

But won’t the whole family be executed?

This guy must have known the ending, so he dared to say those words to me!

When Situ Jing thought about it to the end, she felt weak all over.

With resentment, she clenched her fists and said, "Is it because of his arrogance? I don't want to marry a loser!"

"I used to think there was nothing wrong with the word 'coward', but from now on, I think I'd better not say it."

Ye Xuan suddenly spoke, interrupting Situ Jing's words, looking at her niece and reminding her.

"It seems your husband has truly misjudged everyone... Is he a loser? If he truly is a loser, how could he have been so unwillingly forced to give him gifts?"

"How can we let Lin Fu take the lead and approve the congratulations?"

As she spoke, Ye Xuan stood up and looked at Yang Qi's residence from afar.

This guy is getting more and more interesting.

Should I talk to him privately?
