Shocking! Five men are in love with the same woman!

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Chengde and his wife were struck dumb, their bodies swaying violently.

Their last glimmer of hope was thus shattered.

The Marquis of Chengde's eyes suddenly became empty and lifeless, his face filled with despair and helplessness.

His once straight spine now bent, his lips trembled slightly, but he could no longer utter a single word.

He simply sighed heavily, a sigh filled with endless sorrow and resignation.

Lady Hou burst into tears, her eyes glazed over, staring blankly ahead.

He kept muttering to himself, "How could this happen... how could this happen..."

The sound grew fainter and fainter until it was barely audible.

In the end, he simply lowered his head helplessly, like a flower withered by frost, his heart ashen and devoid of any life.

Seeing that they had finally given up, Lingyan turned to the others in the hall and sneered, "You should also know that neither Ayao nor I are soft-hearted people. If you are unwilling to be sent away from the capital, I can let you stay in the capital, but... you can only stay in the form of corpses."

After speaking, Lingyan's gaze, like a sharp icy blade in winter, swept across each person's face.

They were all deathly pale, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if every bit of cold air could penetrate their skin and reach their very bones.

Then, Ling Yan's voice rang out again.

This time, her tone was more playful, yet it concealed an endless chill.

Like a whisper from the depths of an abyss, it instilled fear: "Would you like me to help you recall how many people we each killed recently? I can't even remember myself. Why don't you count them for us?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned deathly pale, and their bodies trembled violently as if they were in a frozen wasteland.

Their fearful eyes were filled with despair and helplessness.

The scene of the two ruthless and merciless killings involuntarily came to mind.

It instantly haunted their minds like a nightmare, refusing to leave.

Cold sweat poured from their foreheads and backs like a burst dam, instantly soaking their clothes.

They had initially held onto a sliver of hope, but now they were completely devastated and finally resigned to their fate.

After Lingyan finished her threats and intimidation, they finally behaved themselves.

So he continued, "Although your three generations are all useless, aren't there still a few fourth generations? I didn't poison these five children. They are just three or four-year-old innocent children who don't know anything and are just blank slates. We don't want to kill you all, it's just that you are too useless. Otherwise, you would have been given important positions like Yang Huan."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked!

Yang Huan?

Will he be given a more important role?

Seeing their confusion, Lingyan gestured for Yang Huan, who had been standing in the hall, to remove his disguise.

After Yang Huan removed Wang Huanzhi's disguise, everyone saw his true face and suddenly realized what had happened.

It turned out to be the case.

He turned out to be the head manager in charge of all the properties under the Crown Princess's name.

Now everyone is vying to curry favor with Manager Wang.

Unexpectedly, this person was Yang Huan.

Seeing that they understood, Lingyan continued, "So you see, as long as he has the ability and good character, Ayao and I will naturally not turn him away. So after you arrive in Qingzhou, you can teach these children well and they will be given important positions as long as they are of good character and ability when they grow up."

At this point, she added, "Of course, you shouldn't teach them yourselves. You should hire renowned teachers from outside. Otherwise, who knows what kind of people you'll turn them into? Besides, I believe that with your love for your descendants, even if I don't poison you, you should obediently follow our instructions, right?"

Upon hearing this, the two, who had already given up hope, were now filled with renewed hope.

He nodded vigorously, saying, "Of course, of course."

Seeing that everyone was now completely obedient to her, Lingyan said one last time, "The wealth you've accumulated over the years should be enough to support you for the rest of your lives. Of course, if anyone wants to earn money in the future, that's fine too, but you can't break the law or plunder the people's wealth, or you won't want to know the consequences."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately nodded vigorously to show that they understood.

So Lingyan and Xiao Muyao stood up and prepared to leave.

The moment they stepped out of the hall, Ling Yan's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable resolve: "Remember, leave the capital within three days, or else..."

Her words, though unfinished, were enough to make everyone present tense.

They all shivered.

His body began to shake even more violently.

He quickly agreed and assured her that he would leave on time.

Long after the two left the hall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground in relaxation.

Then he immediately began preparations for leaving Beijing.

Time waits for no one, and they were also worried that three days was too short to finish the preparations.

So they started organizing at the fastest speed they could ever go.

They would never dare to touch the farmland under their names.

Let's just give it to His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Crown Princess.

Several other shops were also given to the Crown Princess.

Finally, all that was left was to pack the luggage I needed to take with me.

After they had finished organizing everything, they sold off all the servants in the mansion.

Because if they wanted to go to Gyeongju with them, they only needed to take the poison as well.

But no one was willing to go along.

So they were all sold off.

As for the remaining things that couldn't be taken away, including this mansion, they all belonged to Lingyan and Xiao Muyao.

However, in the end, Lingyan and Xiao Muyao discussed and decided to give the mansion and the land to Yang Huan.

They only wanted those few shops.

Three days later, the entire family left the capital on time.

Of course, the day before she left, the Empress met with her biological parents, the Marquis of Chengde and his wife.

This was probably the last time they would ever see each other in their lives.

It wasn't until the entire Chengde Marquis family left the capital that everyone received the news and realized what was happening.

Their fear of Lingyan rose to a new level.

You really shouldn't mess with the Crown Princess!

If she was angered, she wouldn't even give face to her husband's family, and just like that, she drove the entire Chengde Marquis's family out of the capital.

Of course, you can't bully her people either. I heard she turned those playboys who harassed female employees into eunuchs.

They were truly ruthless and showed no mercy whatsoever.

From then on, everyone secretly warned themselves never to offend the Crown Princess or her people.

This is the result Ling Yan wanted.

Otherwise, some people might have all sorts of dark thoughts or underhanded tactics when they see that her shop only has female employees.

After this incident, they will surely be deterred from doing it again, having served as a warning to others.

The staff at the entertainment center and the employees of Lingyan's other shops were moved and grateful upon receiving the news.

How fortunate they are to have such a good employer protecting them! They will surely continue to serve the Crown Princess with utmost devotion until their dying breath.

Especially the female employees involved in this incident were all moved to tears upon learning the news.

They have come to understand the Crown Princess's attitude after this incident.

She will absolutely protect them, no matter who they are.

Therefore, as long as they are in the right, they will never tolerate anyone bullying them.

Yang Huan finally removed his disguise and revealed his true identity.

This made everyone aware that Wang Huanzhi was actually Yang Huan.

Everyone was astonished when they learned of this.

It turns out that the famous Manager Wang is actually the son of a marquis and the cousin of the Crown Prince.

However, this younger cousin is clearly on a completely different level compared to his other older and younger cousins.

Who doesn't like or admire Manager Wang's competence and interpersonal skills?

Now that they know his true identity is so noble, they admire him even more.

Because he had no airs whatsoever, and none of the bad habits of those superior people.

He treats everyone equally, making people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze.

Such an outstanding person, no wonder the Crown Princess trusts and values ​​him so much.

That's a really good eye!

We found this good bamboo shoot among the bad bamboo in the whole family.

I admire them so much I'm completely in awe.
