The nanny's words awakened the queen from her dream. The queen suddenly realized something and asked hurriedly, "Where is Yuan Cheng?"

"The Second Prince is outside."

"Tell him to come in."

Watching the Second Prince walk into the palace, the Queen asked anxiously, "Yuan Cheng, tell me honestly, have you done anything you shouldn't have done?"

The Second Prince's face flushed with shyness. "Mother, we can't help ourselves. Wanru might already be pregnant with my child."

"Confused, you are confused!"

The Queen cursed bitterly, "Do you know that all our preparations over the years have been wasted because of your impulsiveness?"

"Mother, the situation is not as serious as you say!"

"Superficial, your future father-in-law is just a minister. What kind of help do you think he can give you?"

The Second Prince seemed to have just realized this, but he remained unconcerned and said, "Then just help him get a promotion. It's not that difficult. Besides, I really like Wanru. Mother, please don't stop us."

The queen was so angry that she almost suffocated. She couldn't understand how she could have raised such a shallow-minded idiot whose mind was only concerned with the two pounds of flesh under him!

Seeing that the Queen was so angry that she couldn't speak, the nanny could only order the Second Prince to leave, "Second Prince, the Queen is not feeling well now, please come back later!"

Although the second prince was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say much seeing the queen's expression, and could only leave Qiankun Palace obediently.

This time he did not stay any longer. He wanted to go to the Shangshu Mansion to see Wanru. He wondered if the person who announced the decree had made things difficult for her.

It was already dark, but the laughter and joy in the Shangshu Mansion had not yet stopped when a servant came to report that the Second Prince was visiting.

Lu Zhengping immediately had the food and wine removed, opened the windows, and lit candles to remove the smell.

But when the Second Prince arrived, the smell still lingered in the room. He couldn't help but frown and cover his mouth and nose, "Lord Lu, are you drinking at this time?"

Lu Zhengping was caught red-handed and explained awkwardly: "Just a drink, a little drink."

The Second Prince didn't say anything more to him. He turned to look at Lu Wanru, and his expression softened. "Wanru, come out with me for a moment."

Lu Wanru bowed to her family and followed the second prince in small steps.

When the Lu family saw this unruly scene, not only did no one try to stop it, they all smiled with satisfaction. Even Lu Shuyang, who always prided himself on being a scholar, was very pleased with the Second Prince's nervousness towards Wanru, not realizing that their relationship before marriage was too close would lead to gossip and trouble.

As soon as they reached the lake, the Second Prince embraced Lu Wanru in his arms and asked affectionately, "Are you scared by the decree granting marriage today?"

Lu Wanru shook her head and gently put her arm around his waist. "Thank you for your pity, Your Highness. Wanru is blessed to have your true love. How could she be frightened? Wanru is happy."

The second prince raised his lips to a proud smile, and a decision was made in his heart.

"Wanru, don't worry, I will handle it properly and won't let you be criticized by outsiders."

Lu Wanru's heart skipped a beat. Her joy had vanished without a trace. Who was gossiping behind her back? Was it because of her status as an adopted daughter? As expected, ever since Yan Wanwan appeared, everything she had enjoyed was slowly being taken away. Sooner or later, she would be left with nothing. Would the Second Prince still love her then?

Human nature is fickle, so she never gambles on human nature. A line of blood appeared on her tightly bitten lips.

"Your Highness, now that the imperial decree has been issued, do you think I should host a banquet for those young sisters?"

"Well, if you want to treat me, then you can. I will come that day too."

Lu Wanru gave him a charming smile, "Thank you so much for coming to support me, Your Highness."

The second prince liked the way she admired him, and he could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart and kissed her soft red lips.

What they didn't notice was that the plants on both sides were emitting a faint green light.

Yan Wanwan, who was far away in another house, was enjoying the scene. "If nothing else, there aren't many scenes of adultery between a man and a woman. This time, I finally get to see a live version."

But it was over in just a few minutes, which made Yan Wanwan doubt whether the second prince was capable. With a beautiful woman in his arms, he didn't even perform a live sex show. This was the greatest disrespect to the beauty.

Suddenly, she heard a voice, "Those people were invited by Lu Zhengping, but were they found by Lu Yangbu?"

She sneered, "It seems that walking in the martial arts world is still useful. However, I am not very happy that these methods are used on me. How should I return the favor?"

The next day, Yan Wanwan received an invitation from Lu Wanru to a flower-viewing party.

Yan Xiaorui threw the post aside in disdain. "Little sister, why are you going to such a flower viewing party? She must be trying to show off that she's become the prince's consort!"

Yan Wanwan remained noncommittal. Showing off was one thing, but there was another interesting thing. If she, the person involved, didn't go, wouldn't Jingzhao lose an interesting story?

"Sister, don't worry! Will I still let her bully me?"

Although he knew his sister had many tricks up her sleeve, he still said worriedly, "I'll find you a few maids who know kung fu. Don't worry if they are from the Shangshu Mansion or other officials. If they dare to provoke us, we will fight back, understand?"

She was afraid that her sister would humble herself in front of those officials and noble ladies in order to keep the peace, and suffer in vain.

"Don't worry, sister! Our family motto is to not tolerate cowardice, and I don't want to be whipped!"

Yan Xiaorui poked her head and said, "You little devil, be careful. Come on! I'll take you to buy some decent clothes. You must not let those guys look down on you."

"Okay, I have the best taste. If you dress me up, you will definitely be the most stunning one in the room."

The two sisters went shopping while laughing and joking. Not long after they left, a low-key carriage drove out of the gate and headed towards the general's mansion.

On the day of the flower viewing banquet, Yan Wanwan was the last one to arrive. The other ladies had already arrived and were gathered in a group, chatting in whispers.

Lu Wanru moves among the crowd like a butterfly, and wherever she goes, she attracts envious glances from others.

Yan Wanwan had just taken two steps when she heard people talking behind her back, "This adopted daughter of the Lu family is so lucky! First, her father narrowly avoided corruption and bribery, and then it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, allowing the Second Prince to ask the Emperor for a marriage. From now on, she will be a legitimate prince's consort, and we should all kneel down and pay our respects to her."

Another person also said sourly: "That's right. This time she even held a flower viewing banquet to show off. Seeing her smug look is really disgusting. I don't know how the Second Prince could fall for such a woman."

Yan Wanwan glanced at those people thoughtfully. It seemed that not everyone liked Lu Wanru! This was interesting.

"Sister, you are here!"

Lu Wanru spotted Yan Wanwan approaching at a glance, winked at the maid beside her, and the two of them came forward together.

"Sister, it's great that you came. I thought you were angry and ignored me!"

Yan Wanwan avoided her outstretched hand, and the smile on Lu Wanru's lips froze slightly, but was quickly covered up by a smile.

"Sister, you and I will be getting married soon. How about I offer you a toast and let's put an end to our sisterly grudges?"

Her maid immediately brought two glasses of wine. Lu Wanru didn't give her a chance to refute and drank the glass in one gulp.

Seeing that Yan Wanwan didn't move, she couldn't help but say sadly: "Sister, you still won't forgive me?"

"My sister is already drinking before the party even starts. That seems inappropriate."

"It's okay. The most important thing for us sisters is to untie our knots. Don't you agree?"

Everyone urged Yan Wanwan to drink. She picked up the glass and smelled it. In the moment she smelled it, her cheeks turned red, as if she was drunk.

"I can not drink."

Lu Wanru stepped forward, dragged her forward, and poured the wine down her throat. She covered her mouth and smiled, "Look, you can drink now!"

The crowd roared with laughter.

A cold light flashed in Yan Wanwan's lowered eyes.
