Xiao Yue dragged himself back to his house with sore body and quickly asked someone to apply medicine.

You're really asking for trouble.

"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is at home."

Xiao Yue went to see him.

"Brother, look for yourself, she's getting more and more ruthless."

Logically speaking, they are princes and the princess's cousins, so they should not be beaten by the princess.

But she is unreasonable.

If he went to the emperor to complain, the princess would definitely say that she wanted to have a fight with him.

He couldn't beat the princess and got injured. His father would definitely scold him.

Hey

"Third brother has suffered, we can't just watch our cousin get deceived."

"Huh, why don't you go and tell me."

"She won't see me at all."

"Logically speaking, what difference does it make whether this matter is spoken of or not? Father has granted the marriage, and now that we know about it, can we refuse it? What man doesn't cheat? If my cousin gets married and finds out about this, and makes a fuss about it, won't the Chen family suffer? In my opinion, this matter should be brought up after she gets married. That way, the Chen family can be charged with the crime of keeping their son silent and deceiving the emperor."

"Wen Xingchen must never marry him."

"But the imperial decree has already been issued. Who can still disobey it? You want Xingchen to disobey the order? I don't think so."

She is not stupid.

"Don't be fooled by her usual arrogance. She's very smart and will definitely not suffer any loss."

"How do you know she's smart?"

"How could she, if she wasn't smart, bully me like this? I've never had a good time with her since I was little. Do you remember when we were little and we were writing essays together? She clearly couldn't write, but our master was obsessed with calligraphy and liked good handwriting, so she practiced her calligraphy diligently, and the master always praised her. Why didn't I think of that at the time?"

She's smart? Everyone says she's smart, except him... No, now he knows, so he absolutely can't let her marry anyone else.

"Don't worry, someone will take care of Chen Silang and stop this marriage."

"..."

at night

After Chen Jingting settled Fang Baoer and her daughter, he wanted to explain to Wen Xingchen, but just as he arrived at Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and was about to climb over the wall, he was suddenly attacked.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and dodged it.

He listened carefully, but found that there was more than one person, so he said cautiously:

"Who are you? This is the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion, not a place for you to mess around."

"Since you know this is the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, then get out of here."

"Are you the guards of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion?"

Before he came, there was no such powerful person in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Chen Jingting didn't know the other party's origins and didn't dare to attack rashly, and the other party didn't attack him.

Kill him ruthlessly.

He then turned around and prepared to leave, but was caught in a big net.

.....

The next morning

There was a note posted on the door of Chen's house.

The Chen family, which had been quiet, suddenly became noisy.

"Master, Master, it's bad, the young master has been kidnapped."

Lord Chen didn't even bother to attend court today, so he called his family to question him.

"Go check, what trouble has the fourth brother gotten himself into recently?"

This kid hasn't even finished his vacation yet.

Third day

Wen Xingchen had no interest in going out to play these days and had been planning to go fishing and read a book at home. He had just caught a fish when he heard Xu come to invite him.

Xu is a person who usually doesn't try to make herself feel important unless there is something important.

Yingying went out to inquire for a while and then came back.

"Princess, Madam Chen is here."

Old Madam Chen?

"Which old lady?"

"The princess is Chen Jingting's mother, the wife of Prime Minister Chen."

Wen Xingchen put down his things, asked someone to clean up for him, and left.

Wen Xingchen walked over and saw from afar a lady in simple clothes sitting in the hall.

As she walked into the hall, Old Madam Chen stood up.

"Your Highness has greeted the Princess."

The princess returned the gift.

"Princess, Madam Chen wants to discuss something with you. Please continue chatting while I make you some tea."

Xu wanted to stay and listen, but she was afraid of the princess. In the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she usually avoided her if possible.

Wen Xingchen was very satisfied with Xu's understanding.

Wen Xingchen stepped forward and helped the old lady to sit down, and she sat down below the old lady.

Old Madam Chen felt that this was inappropriate. Logically, she should sit in the upper seat, but the princess had already spoken.

"Madam, do you have any instructions for me this time?"

He is composed and not one who sticks to empty formalities.

Old Madam Chen was worried about her son.

After several investigations at home in the past few days, they discovered that the good-for-nothing son had offended the princess, which led to this disaster.

"Princess, my son once had a brother with a different surname. They grew up together and had a close relationship."

When Old Madam Chen said this, she was observing the princess carefully, fearing that the princess would not like to hear it.

Princess Ran listened attentively and nodded in cooperation.

Old Madam Chen's family was of average means, but because Prime Minister Chen was so outstanding, she was allowed to enjoy the good life with him.

But because of her poor background, she seldom interacted with these noble ladies.

Unless absolutely necessary.

Coming here today is also a forced task.

"That child had a tragic fate. He died before he could enjoy a few days of happiness, leaving behind only an orphan and a widow. It was pitiful to see them. Silang felt sorry for them and took care of them. This care lasted for four years."

"The mother and daughter that Madam was talking about are Fang Baoer and her daughter?"

"Yes, Princess, although Silang acted a little foolishly, he was not confused. He is absolutely innocent with her."

Wen Xingchen nodded.

"Madam, I believe him."

"You believe it?"

"Yes, this matter is not a secret. This princess is not closed-minded."

"I often hear about the princess's affairs while I'm here. The princess is a righteous woman who has devoted all her energy to the victims of the disaster. She is definitely not an unreasonable person. It must be that Shilang did something he shouldn't have done to anger you."

Wen Xingchen frowned.

Wen Xingchen's frown scared Madam Chen.

"If that brat really did something to offend the princess, I'm here to apologize to him." As she said this, she was about to stand up and kneel down. Wen Xingchen hurriedly helped her up.

"Old lady, please stand up and sit down first."

Wen Xingchen had already realized that something was wrong.

"Madam, this princess is already engaged to Silang of the Chen family, and will be your daughter-in-law in the future. You kneel down at every turn like this. Where do you put this princess in?"

From what she said, the old lady still wanted to marry Chen Jingting.

That means my son will be fine.

"My Lady, I am anxious."

"Old lady, let's talk first."

"Speaking of things? Princess, don't you know? Didn't you order people to take Silang away?"

Wen Xingchen frowned, then understood.

Chen Silang disappeared, and the Chen family thought it was her.

"Madam, when did you find out he was missing? Do you know who took him away? Have you reported it to the police?"

The old lady took the note out of her sleeve and handed it to Wen Xingchen.

Wen Xingchen unfolded it and read: "This general invites Chen Jia Silang to have tea at the Xishan camp."

"Taiwan Railway Pillar."

Wen Xingchen took a look at the note. Aren’t those crooked words written by Tai Tiezhu?

It really is……

“Old lady, don’t worry, if he is really taken to Xishan, then nothing will happen to him.”

"Princess, when will he be back?"

"You go back and wait for the letter. I'm going to Xishan."

"……OK……"

Wen Xingchen had just sent the old lady away and asked Yingying to dress him up.

"Please let this princess wear the headgear given by the Queen." Dress as luxuriously as possible.

Yingying asked, "Princess, was it really General Tai who took the person away? How did they know?"

"I was taken advantage of."
