Wen Rubao muttered to himself: I am not interested in studying either.

But he didn't dare say it out loud.

However, after she turned her eyebrows to look at Wen Rubao, Wen Rubao subconsciously sat next to Chen Jingting.

Wen Xingchen understood and said, "Do you know why you can't do whatever you want?"

Wen Rubao didn't say anything, but his curious eyes were flashing with doubt.

"Because you don't have three brothers who are top scorers in the imperial examinations."

After hearing this, Chen Jingting felt relieved.

The princess is very insightful.

The Chen family produced three top scholars in a row, which was a great honor for them.

Moreover, there are three top scholars, but the Wen family does not have one, and they only have one son, so naturally they have high hopes for him.

Reading is the only option.

"I don't have high hopes for you, nor do I expect you to win the top spot in the imperial examination."

"Then why did you let me study..."

"Hmph, you've been studying for so long, but you still don't understand this. It seems your teacher hasn't done his best to teach you."

Wen Rubao was shocked and regretted saying too much.

Chen Jingting saw that the youngest son of the Wen family was being manipulated by the princess.

From the first time I met him, he had never made any mistakes in etiquette and rules, and calling me "sister" was very considerate.

As for his previous reputation?

Just a spoiled brat.

Arriving at Changyuan Hou Mansion, Wen Xingchen got off the carriage and was immediately embraced by a ball of red.

"Princess, I finally get to see you."

"Golden Flower, you scared the princess."

Nanny Ning wanted to pull her away, but Wen Xingchen waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.

Then Wen Xingchen took her hand and entered the Changyuanhou Mansion.

Although he had no good feelings towards this arrogant eldest daughter in the past, but now looking at him, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

In the mist, she wore a brocade cloak with fur trim, and a brocade skirt with dark red and gold floral patterns, wrapping herself tightly from head to toe. She leisurely raised her head, her hair in a phoenix-tail bun, and wore two gold filigree phoenix hairpins with rubies in their place, a red gold hairpin inlaid with white jade, and a flower ornament between her eyebrows. This was the woman's attire.

Chang Yuanhou accompanied Chen Jingting to drink tea in the front hall, while Wen Xingchen was surrounded and taken to the backyard.

There was nothing worth her visiting in this backyard, it was just that Xu came to her to complain.

But this time, Xu did not plead for her daughter or her son.

It was because there was a new concubine in the backyard.

"While you were away, your father secretly welcomed a concubine. That concubine was as beautiful as a flower, and she completely captivated your father."

"When your father took a concubine before, you were the first to stop him. When you return home today, you must persuade your father."

After hearing this, Wen Xingchen laughed at himself.

If her obstruction is effective, what does it have to do with you?

But Wen Xingchen couldn't stop it, because this concubine was Mei Niang.

He Yunshang's biological daughter.

"Princess, this woman is pregnant before she even enters the house. Who knows what she is pregnant with..."

Wen Xingchen suddenly looked at Xu, stopping her from talking nonsense.

Xu looked at the princess helplessly.

"Xu, do you want Dad to be held captive by a woman at home, or do you want him to stay out all night and help that woman establish a reputation?"

"..."

"Even if you cry, make a scene, or even threaten to hang yourself, Dad won't change his mind. After all, he won't let his own child be stranded outside."

"But she is not innocent..."

"Xu, were you innocent at the beginning?"

Xu: ...

Wen Xingchen ignored her and went back to the courtyard where he used to live.

But as soon as he arrived, he saw a girl in a plain long dress. She had a graceful figure and walked like a willow swaying in the wind. Her fragility carried a charm that made people feel pity.

There is a hint of sadness between her brows, as if she is hiding something on her mind, which adds a bit of her charming charm.

She should be Mei Niang.

Her father's aesthetic taste remains the same as always.

One Xu is fragile enough, and here comes another.

Yingying was furious when she saw someone dared to enter the princess's residence.

"Where are you from? How dare you, a lowly servant, enter the princess's courtyard without knowing the proper etiquette?"

A ridicule startled the girl who was immersed in the past and made her as helpless as a frightened rabbit.

Mei Niang turned around and saw a dignified and beautiful girl standing in the crowd. She guessed that the person was the princess who was returning home today.

She hurried forward.

His steps were so light that it seemed as if he would fall down with a gust of wind.

There was a subtle hint of sarcasm at the corner of Wen Xingchen's mouth.

He Yunshang's daughter had been sold to a brothel over the years, where she was trained and taught seductive techniques. These techniques were so ingrained in her that it was impossible to get rid of them.

Just like now.

She came over gracefully, knelt down gracefully, and saluted:

"Slave, Mei Niang, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess. May Her Royal Highness be well and safe."

Wen Xingchen wasn't one to beat around the bush. She came straight to the point and asked, "You're He Yunshang's daughter, right?"

This is an affirmative statement.

When this person was mentioned, Mei Niang felt a pang of hatred in her heart, so she denied it and said, "I don't know who the person the princess is talking about is."

"Really? Do you know Ganger?"

Mei Niang looked at the princess with surprise and a little helplessness.

"Princess, what do you want to do? Do you want me to leave the Changyuan Marquis Mansion?"

Wen Xingchen chuckled.

"Don't get excited. You're pregnant. You don't want to get upset over such a small thing."

Since Mei Niang stepped into Changyuan Marquis' Mansion, she has been fully prepared to deal with the dangers that this family should face.

She had met Xu a few times and never took it seriously.

As for Xu's children, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As for this princess?

Rumors say that he is willful, shameless, etc.

Such a spoiled child poses no threat to himself.

But she was wrong. Before they even met, her background was exposed clearly.

I am no match for her at all.

"Princess, did I do something wrong?" He said with tears in his eyes as if he was aggrieved.

"Mei Niang, your father has been missing you lately. Go visit him when you have time."

"No matter how much you hate him, you still have to do your best to honor me. As for your child, I can treat him as my younger brother and help him find a good future. As for your younger brother, I will take the initiative to bring him back to keep him company. You are a smart person and you know what to choose."

Mei Niang understood, but it turned out that it was her bastard father who was behind all this.

He was truly capable, having managed to hook up with the princess. A chill flashed through his heart again, and he cursed: Why doesn't he die?

"Princess, my father died a long time ago. I don't have a father."

Seeing that she was stubborn, Wen Xingchen didn't say anything.

"Such a fool, yet he still wants to provoke this princess. He really overestimates his own abilities."

The cold voice made people shudder.

provocative?

Mei Niang felt a wave of regret in her heart. She really shouldn't have come here.

Two days after entering the mansion, Xu had been talking about the princess in her ears, and she was relying on the power of others to bully others. It made people want to see what the princess's background was like.

So even though she knew the princess was coming home today, she still insisted on taking a walk in this yard.
