Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the dude to take power

"The princess is incredibly talented. She's held three intense debates in the guild hall, and she's incredibly knowledgeable. Yet, the outside world continues to say that she's untalented and unintelligent. This shows how little she's treated by her family."

"..."

Wen Xingchen glanced at the noble ladies who were discussing the matter indifferently. The public opinion was influenced by the Xi family.

When Prince Jin disliked her, it was this group of noble ladies who were talking about her, saying that she was a fool and not worthy of His Highness the Prince of Jin.

Wen Ruyue, on the other hand, is gentle, quiet and elegant, and is a perfect match for His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin.

Humph, as expected, the Xi family is very good at controlling public opinion.

What a pity! Do you think that I will be bewitched by you like this?

If I have really been deceived by you, then the insults I have suffered in my previous life are still not enough.

"His Royal Highness King Jin."

"Xingchen, my cousin is here."

"Are you bullying us because we have no one in the Wen family?"

Xiao Sheng frowned and looked at Wen Xingchen with eyes full of doting.

"Xingchen, your cousin is helping you vent your anger."

"Vent off your anger?" Wen Xingchen smiled.

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, my second sister never leaves the house. Apart from you, she has never spoken to any other man."

"..."

"You hated me at that time, and everyone in the capital knew it."

"Xingchen, I was deceived."

"Deceived? Your Highness Prince Jin, what you said is truly ridiculous. My sister was innocent, weak and helpless. You hated me at the time, but you frequently visited my Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. What were you doing there? To see me? Humph, I, Wen Xingchen, couldn't find you anywhere in the capital. Of course, you didn't visit me."

"..." His Royal Highness Prince Jin was speechless.

"You went to see my second sister, and we had an argument and both fell into the water. You were so anxious that you jumped in to rescue her, regardless of your status. I was calling you from the water, and you carried my second sister to shore without even looking back."

"Xingchen, he framed all of this. Your sister can obviously swim, so she doesn't need me to save her at all..."

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, no one forced you to jump into the water to save people. Many of the servants in my Ningyuan Marquis Mansion can swim."

"..."

The ladies only realized something at this moment.

"Prince Jin saved Second Miss Wen, causing her to lose her innocence. Why is he now accusing her of being vicious? Could it be that he regrets it?"

"That's right. Everyone used to say the princess was an idiot who couldn't even read a single word. But the princess is not only literate, but also very knowledgeable, comparable to a group of students."

"But what's the use of regretting it? The princess is already engaged, and judging by her expression, she no longer has any feelings for His Highness the Prince of Jin."

"Prince Jin has already arranged marriage with the Second Miss, and they've had physical intimacy, yet now he's torturing her in every possible way. The Second Miss of the Wen Family is truly pitiful."

"Furthermore, Wen Ruyue is the second daughter of the Wen family and doesn't usually go out. How could she have hooked up with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin? It's clear that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin went to the Wen family to meet Wen Ruyue without telling the princess."

"Hush, it takes two to clap. If the two hadn't kept their frequent encounters secret from the princess, how could this have happened? I heard not long ago that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin gave Miss Wen the phoenix-head hairpin."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is fickle, inconsistent and inconsistent. This is what a scumbag is."

"..."

Wen Xingchen listened to the discussions of the noble ladies and snorted in his heart. Public opinion is not something that anyone can influence. If it is not used properly, it will backfire.

Wen Xingchen was about to say something when she saw Wen Ruyue tugging at her clothes, looking distressed and aggrieved.

It’s definitely not because he feels sorry for himself.

Wen Xingchen reached out and grabbed Wen Ruyue's hand, scaring her so much that she wanted to pull it away, but how could Wen Xingchen allow her to pull it away?

Wen Xingchen just pulled her like that, and said softly, "Second sister, cousin, I will make the decision for you today."

Wen Xingchen lowered his hands and hid them in his wide sleeves to avoid being seen by others.

"Your Highness Prince Jin, today you scolded my daughter of the Wen family in front of everyone and made her kneel outside? I want to ask you, are you bullying us because we have no one in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion?"

Xiao Sheng looked at the arrogant and eloquent Wen Xingchen. When did she become so eloquent?

Or was she just pretending? But why? Was she trying to make me hate her?

Seeing Wen Xingchen's aggressive attitude, Xi Ling'er said, "Princess Huayang, she secretly rode in your carriage, just like the palace. This is a violation of palace rules and is a great act of treason."

"Stealing a ride? Miss Xi, that's a really fresh word. My Princess Huayang is the eldest son of the Ningyuan Marquisate, and Wen Ruyue is the second daughter of our family. How can she be said to have stolen my carriage?"

Xiling'er paused slightly, and actually felt a huge sense of oppression from her.

"Princess Huayang, that's not what I meant. It's just that you weren't in the carriage at the time. How could she be qualified to ride in a carriage into the palace without any title or reward?"

"No title, no reward? Future concubine of the Prince of Jin, isn't that a reward? Besides, the Emperor has already made a strict rule that my carriage can enter and leave the palace freely. Why do you have objections, Miss Xi? Or is Miss Xi just being overbearing, not allowing other women in the Xi family to use her own carriage? If that's the case, you are truly overbearing."

"......"

"Yes, Miss Xi thinks so, so she must be at odds with her sisters, right? Otherwise, why would she not let her sisters ride in her carriage? Aren't they worthy?"

"......"

Domineering? Unworthy?

Xiling'er has always been known to be gentle, virtuous, kind and polite.

How could she say that?

"Your Highness is very sharp-tongued, and I, your servants, cannot argue with you. It's just that you and your other sister don't get along, and everyone knows it, so... we just want to vent your anger."

Wen Xingchen is not ashamed.

"However I bully my sister is our family affair. But just because I can bully her doesn't mean you can too."

"..."

Wen Xingchen stared at Prince Jin again and said, "Your Highness, Miss Xi has admitted to bullying my sister. What about you? Do you admit it?"

"..."

"You don't admit it? It doesn't matter. This princess will go and ask the emperor's uncle if he is dissatisfied with our Wen family's girl for allowing his own son to bully the daughter of an official."

"Kneeling on the palace road as punishment, you guys really came up with something."

Wen Xingchen was about to pull Wen Ruyue away, but was stopped by Xi Ling'er.

"My Lady, I was just joking with Miss Wen."

"A joke? You're kidding?"

"..."

Snapped

A slap hit Xiling'er's face, and everyone opened their mouths in surprise.

"Princess Huayang, my father is the Duke of Zhenguo. What right do you have to hit me?"

"This princess and Miss Xi were just joking. Why, can't you afford to joke?"

Snapped

Another slap.

Xiling'er was beaten back straight away.

Prince Jin pulled Xi Ling'er behind him and said to Wen Xingchen, "Xingchen, have you had enough?"

Princess Furun stood next to Wen Xingchen, but did nothing.

But it was this stop that made King Jin take a step back.

Wen Xingchen said:

"Your Highness, Prince Jin, how can this be possible? Do you know how long my second sister has been kneeling on the palace path?"
