Concubine Rong thought for a moment and continued, "If Meng Hewan is truly fake, I'm afraid we can't have this marriage. Not only will it be of no benefit to you, but it might also bring you into a bad rap."

It’s not that she is heartless, but as a prince, it’s natural for her to plan for the future.

Now that the Crown Prince is not favored by His Majesty, then the other princes can still give it a try and try their luck. What if they can catch His Majesty's eye?

"That's right, my royal brother. If Meng Hewan is really not the daughter of the Marquis, then you must not act foolishly."

A beautiful woman dressed in jewels and precious stones walked in from the side hall. This person was Rong Fei's daughter, Pei Yuanyue.

She is also the second princess of the current dynasty.

However, among all the princes and princesses, her identity is somewhat subtle.

She is not as good as the eldest princess Pei Yaohua, born to the queen, nor is she as good as the seventh princess Pei Wanling, who is known as the lucky star.

He is very well-behaved and behaves in a low-key manner in the palace.

After coming of age, Concubine Rong used a lot of tricks to get the emperor to choose a good marriage for her, and now she lives in the princess's mansion.

But in the past two years, Pei Yuanyue's temper has become more and more irritable.

Three years after getting married, she still couldn't conceive a child. The prince consort's family was also dissatisfied, and there were even rumors outside that she was infertile.

Although the prince consort didn't say anything, Pei Yuanyue felt that he was becoming more and more perfunctory towards her.

So the two began to quarrel constantly, and this time they quarreled in front of Concubine Rong again.

Pei Yuanyue stayed in Yuehua Palace, and her husband was unwilling to go back with her even though he came several times.

Concubine Rong had no choice but to comfort the prince consort, saying that she wanted to keep her daughter for a few more days to preserve her reputation.

"Why are you back again?"

Pei Qing'an frowned when he saw that the person coming was his sister.

This sister has been acting more and more erratically in the past two years, and there have been a lot of rumors going around.

But she didn't know how to restrain herself, and even became worse.

Now he even felt sorry for his brother-in-law.

"What do you mean? What do you mean I'm back? You're my brother. Not only do you not help me, but you also treat me like this."

Pei Yuanyue immediately glared at him, and her delicate face became more ferocious, destroying her original beauty.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. We're in a bad situation right now, so you should work together."

Concubine Rong shook her head in pain, feeling helpless about her two children.

"Yue'er, don't be so willful anymore. The Prince Consort comes to pick you up every day, and his attitude is very sincere. I will ask the nanny to pack your things and follow you back to the Princess's Mansion."

Pei Yuanyue originally planned to go back, but she wanted to wait a little longer and wait for the prince consort to come and pick her up again, and then she would go back with him if he was humble.

At this point, Concubine Rong spoke, and she stopped talking. "Marriage is like a quarrel in bed, but it's reconciled at the foot of the bed. Don't be so petty anymore. The imperial physician has examined you these past few days. There's nothing wrong with your health. You'll have a child eventually. Don't be too anxious."

Although Concubine Rong said this, she was actually very anxious in her heart.

But there is nothing I can do about this kind of thing.

"An'er, be careful in private. Go and test Meng Hewan's reaction. Send someone to keep a close eye on her so nothing goes wrong."

Go ahead, Rong Fei rubbed her forehead tiredly and waved to the two children: "Okay, you all leave, let me think about it."

Pei Qing'an and Pei Yuanyue had no choice but to bow and leave.

As Gu Fanchu expected, the people in the Marquis' Mansion could no longer sit still after they drove the couple away.

Someone was sent to intercept the two people directly.

The two men were already injured. As ordinary civilians, they were no match for these masked guards. They were beaten to tears in just a few moves.

The quiet alley was filled with shrill shouts and the sound of cold weapons rubbing against each other.

Just when the sword in his hand was about to kill the man, a figure quickly rushed over and saved the two of them.

It was Lumen who went to rescue people.

In just a few moves, they took care of the two weak guards from the Marquis' Mansion. Seeing that they were no match for them, the two masked guards looked at each other and decided not to suffer a loss, so they quickly retreated from the alley.

Liu Ming looked at the frightened couple with some disgust.

The wife Liu Cuihua was originally curled up in the corner. She thought that she and her husband were going to die there, but unexpectedly she was rescued by someone.

He didn't care about anything else at this moment. He immediately knelt down and crawled to Liuming, kowtowing to him continuously.

"Benefactor... Benefactor, help us, please save us."

She didn't expect that her peaceful life of so many years would be disrupted one after another in recent days.

After she gave birth to a daughter, she only vaguely saw the midwife taking her child away, leaving only a sentence that the child was going to enjoy a good life, and left twenty taels of silver before leaving.

The husband was blinded by money, and since the girl was a young girl, he did not pursue the matter any further and promised the nobleman that he would never appear in the capital again.

So they later moved to a nearby village or town.

Last year, the village was hit by a famine. The couple thought that since so many years had passed, the noble man should have forgotten about them.

So he let his son continue to stay in the village, and secretly returned to the capital, where he resumed his old job as a butcher, and his life was better.

Unexpectedly, some time ago, she felt that there were always strangers around her home.

Later, Aunt Lin from next door came quietly to report that someone was asking about their family.

They already had something on their minds, so they naturally guessed what those people were trying to do, so they hurriedly moved again.

But after all, the capital is not big, and those nobles are extremely powerful, so they can be easily found even if they hide.

Just when they were being chased for the first time, they were fortunately rescued by another noble man.

The noble lady told them why the other party had taken her daughter away and now wanted to wipe out the entire clan.

Fortunately, a noble person showed them a way out. If they wanted to live, they might as well go and recognize their daughter.

As long as the people knew the truth of the matter, those people would not dare to attack the two of them openly again under the feet of the emperor.

Although she was a little worried, the man agreed to this idea in order to sign up.

That’s why the scene of recognizing relatives at the Marquis’ Mansion happened yesterday.

Unexpectedly, the nobleman guessed it right, and the people in the Marquis' Mansion really wanted to kill people to silence them.

So, now as long as they can survive, they will do anything!

Liu Ming didn't bother to elaborate and directly conveyed the lady's instructions:

"If you want to live, the solution is to go to the government office and beat the drum to protest. Tell us everything about how your daughter was taken away and how you were hunted all the way. But you must also provide evidence to prove who your biological daughter is. The bigger the incident, the safer you will be."

He turned around and made a gesture to leave, but he still reminded her:

"If the people from the Marquis' Mansion fail to kill me once, I'm afraid they'll come a second time soon. Next time, I may not be able to arrive in time."

After saying that, he left the alley without looking back.
