After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

They originally thought that this lake cruise would end in such a magnificent way, but they didn't expect that more surprises were waiting for them.

Tang Zigui and her companions once again stirred up trouble. While waiting for the Crown Prince's arrival at the villa, they resorted to various tactics to attract his attention. One pretended to fall and then threw himself into his arms; another deliberately threw a handkerchief at his head; and one even attempted to secretly kiss him. These actions shocked and embarrassed those present, but of course, none of these tricks pleased the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince and Tang Wenshu avoided the crowds and quietly made their way to the designated courtyard deep within the villa. Not wanting to draw too much attention, they deliberately chose a secluded path, hoping to reach their destination quietly. However, as they reached the outside of a courtyard, they heard the distinct sound of a slapping sound and the cries of a woman.

"Sister, I was wrong, please forgive me." A woman said in a crying voice.

"Who told you to call me sister?" Another voice was full of arrogance and domineering.

"Yes, Miss Wen. I was wrong!" The woman's voice sounded particularly pitiful in the silent courtyard. "But, but Miss Wen, you really shouldn't have treated His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like that. He's a good man."

Tang Wenshu turned to look at the Crown Prince, his eyes revealing a hint of teasing, as if asking: "Do you want to save her?"

The prince blinked and moved closer, as if to say, "Let's take another look." She and Tang Wenshu pressed closer to the wall, and the sound came through more clearly.

"You're still talking! Are you, a vixen, attracted to the Crown Prince? With your status, do you think you're worthy?" the arrogant voice continued, "Beat this vixen to death! Her mother seduced my father, and now that she's grown up, she's seduced my man too."

The sound of a board hitting flesh could be heard, and the young lady's voice became even weaker, but she continued to say, "I did not seduce the prince. I just didn't want you to go astray. It was wrong for you to add medicine to the soup you gave the prince."

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu was shocked. It turned out that this young lady was beaten because she tried to stop others from drugging the prince. What a kind and brave woman.

"Rescue?" Tang Wenshu asked the prince in a low voice, but he didn't expect that the prince had already rushed in.

"Let her go!" The Crown Prince's voice rang out with unquestionable majesty.

Tang Wenshu hurriedly followed in and saw a group of people surrounding a weak woman, with bloodstains on the ground.

"How dare you attack and beat people in the villa!" Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince glared at those people. Her eyes were cold and sharp, making people shudder.

“Your Highness… Your Highness the Crown Prince… We…” The group of people turned pale with fear and were at a loss as to what to do.

"Come, take them all away!" ordered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"I am the eldest daughter of the Wen family. I am teaching a family servant here. Even if you are the prince, you have no right to discipline me." At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes walked out of the crowd. She walked quickly to the front of the group of people, first bowed to the prince, then glanced at the woman lying on the ground with contempt, turned around and left with her people.

The guards looked at each other, unsure whether to continue arresting the person. The prince waved his hand, signaling them to withdraw. Watching the eldest daughter of the Wen family leave, Tang Wenshu secretly pondered this woman's origins and background.

"Prince brother, who is she?" Tang Wenshu asked.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not answer her. Instead, he walked over to the injured lady, gently helped her up, and asked softly, "How are you?"

The young lady raised her head, revealing a beautiful yet pale face. Tears glistened in her eyes, and she whispered, "Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."

Her Royal Highness looked at her, and a trace of pity welled up in her heart. She patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "You're welcome, you are very brave. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future."

After saying this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince turned to Tang Wenshu and said, "Take her to see the imperial physician first."

Tang Wenshu nodded and carefully supported the young lady as they walked towards the courtyard they had reserved. The accompanying imperial physician had already arrived at the courtyard in advance and arranged everything.

Along the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly spoke up, "The Wen family, you mean the Minister of Works, Wen Yongnian? I heard that after his first wife passed away, he married his cousin as his second wife."

Hearing this, the young lady was obviously surprised, but she quickly replied, "Yes, yes, mother is indeed father's cousin."

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the people who had just left, Wen Shanshan, the eldest daughter of the Wen family, was secretly relieved. This was the first time in her life that she had played a villainous female supporting role! She had beaten her stepsister so badly, and she didn't know how she would explain it to her mother when she got home.

Alas, her mother died early. Now her father doesn't love her, and her mother doesn't care either. To protect herself, she has no choice but to rely on her stepmother, treating the thief as her mother. But it doesn't matter. One day, those people will get their comeuppance! Mother, I hope your spirit in heaven can bless me and help me through this difficult time.

After leaving everyone's sight, the nanny immediately came forward and said respectfully, "Miss, please change your clothes." But the nanny rudely pulled off the bright skirt.

Wen Shanshan then remembered that her gorgeous dress was specially prepared by her mother for today's plan. She didn't normally have the opportunity to wear such exquisite clothing. Her mother had said that the Crown Prince favored women who were delicate and charming, so she had specifically asked her to change into her usual plain dress and create a pitiful image. Fortunately, her sister had been taken away by the Crown Prince, and she could consider her mission a success.

At the same time, on Tang Wenshu's side, the girl would shyly look at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every time she spoke, and then lower her head shyly, portraying the weak and helpless look to the fullest.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Wen Le Yin, and he asked calmly: "Since she is the stepwife, then you should be the legitimate sister. Why did I call you a house slave just now?" This sentence was like a sharp sword, directly piercing Wen Le Yin's disguise.

Wen Leyin lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, as if stung by the Crown Prince's words. She bit her lip, her voice tinged with grievance and resignation, "Because, because I'm only half a year younger than the young lady." Her words betrayed a sense of inferiority and self-pity, as if she were truly a lowly servant. In reality, however, she was filled with anger and resentment, but she dared not show it.

Master Wen's original wife had passed away six years earlier, and he had only married his second wife five years earlier. Judging by Wen Leyin's age, she must be around eleven or twelve, only half a year younger than his first wife's child. This situation, at this delicate juncture, was indeed somewhat awkward and complicated. Tang Wenshu chuckled inwardly; this was quite a large melon.
