The eldest daughter's scheming, the crown prince's exclusive favor to the venomous concubi

Seeing the stunned and confused look on Jian Yue's face, Bai Jianan smiled slyly, a playful glint in his eyes, and said, "Does my wife still remember the time you got drunk at Lan Yue Tower?"

Jian Yue nodded. Of course she remembered. After all, the only time she ever lost her composure in front of Hua Xiangrong was when she was in a bad mood. The most recent time was when she went to Lan Yue Tower, got drunk, and woke up at home.

But what does this have to do with Bai Jianan? Could it be...?

Suddenly, Jian Yue paused, looking at Bai Jianan. She saw that Bai Jianan's eyes were curved into crescent moons, and his lips were close to her ear as he softly said, "My wife, do you know how proactive you were that day, even more so than today? You almost smashed the door behind me."

My wife, if you want to be close to your husband, just say so, and I will naturally cooperate. But why did you do it in front of that woman, Hua Xiangrong? It makes me so embarrassed. You don't know how I feel…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jian Yue suddenly grabbed Bai Jianan's collar and stared at him nervously, asking, "You mean I kissed you in front of Hua Xiangrong?"

These words seemed to be squeezed out through her teeth. Bai Jianan nodded and said very seriously, "Of course, but it's not just a blood relationship, it's a forced marriage between the two of you."

"Stop talking."

The scoundrel suddenly covered Bai Jianan's lips with her hand, and used her other hand to cover her eyes, her face full of despair.

Damn it, she actually kissed a man right in front of Sister Hua! How is she supposed to live like this? Sister Hua will definitely bring this up and laugh at her for the rest of her life.

And Bai Jianan will definitely bring this up from time to time as evidence of her transgressions.

It’s over.

Seeing Jian Yue's expression, Bai Jianan found it amusing and said, "Is my wife shy? But this happened so long ago, don't you think it's too late for you to be shy now?"

"you shut up."

Jian Yue didn't want to talk, she really didn't want to talk, especially in this position. Thinking about what the two of them had been talking about made her feel terrible.

After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "When did you arrive that day?"

Bai Jianan gently kissed her cheek, removed her hand from her eyes, and met her gaze before saying, "I was here from the beginning, hearing you say you missed your mother, and that you wanted to go home."

So, I couldn't resist bringing your mother to you directly. Now, all that's missing is to give you a home. How about it?

"What...how is it?"

Jian Yue knew exactly what the problem was, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little childish and wanted to see Bai Jianan say it to her in person.

Bai Jianan cupped her face in his hands, gazing at her with tender eyes, and said, word by word, "Of course you'll marry me, and then we'll watch the stars in the sky together, welcome the birth of our children, and watch them play around us until our hair turns white as snow."

Yueyue, I want to grow old with you. We made a vow of life and death, to be together forever. I will hold your hand and grow old with you.

His earnest gaze was focused and affectionate, devoid of any impurities. In his eyes, Jian Yue was the bright moon among the stars, and there was no one else.

When Bai Jianan finished speaking, Jian Yue's chaotic heart suddenly calmed down. She quietly looked into Bai Jianan's eyes until she saw her own reflection in them.

After a long while, as if this moment were the only time, she suddenly opened her lips and said, "Oh Heaven! I wish to be with you forever, until the end of time. Unless the mountains crumble, the rivers run dry, winter thunder roars and summer snow falls, and heaven and earth unite, only then will I part from you."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly looked up and her lips collided with Bai Jianan's lips. Instantly, a feeling of pain and numbness washed over her, followed by the taste of blood and rust in her mouth.

Bai Jianan was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up with wild joy, and he began to respond to Jian Yue frantically.

Neither of them seemed to care about the pain on their lips; in fact, they seemed excited by it.

Their hearts were connected, their blood was intertwined, and from then on, no one could separate them.

This night was destined to be anything but peaceful. While the princess's residence was filled with tender moments, the prime minister's residence was in turmoil.

Yue Leyun's banquet that day was originally set up to get closer to Murong Chuan, but unexpectedly, before she could make a move, things went wrong because of the Qiu family's eldest daughter.

The inner quarters of the Prime Minister's residence were originally a place where women lived, and men were not allowed to enter. But for some reason, Qiu Lingfeng, who was changing clothes, ended up rolling around with a man, and was caught red-handed by the concubines in the backyard who heard the commotion.

When she was invited over, she happened to see Qiu Lingfeng sitting at the foot of the bed with her clothes disheveled, while the man lying on the bed was already dressed and staring at Qiu Lingfeng in a daze, his eyes filled with wild joy.

Seeing Qiu Lingfeng's desperate look, how could Yue Leyun not know that she had been framed? Everyone knew what was going on in the backyard, but to use such methods on the Prime Minister's residence was quite intriguing.

Qiu Lingfeng is the Empress's niece, and the Empress is very fond of her. She once said that she wanted Qiu Lingfeng to be Murong Chuan's Crown Princess. Although it was just an implication, it clearly showed her preference. Otherwise, the Qiu family would not have brought in a so-called woman to substitute for her in order to deal with the Emperor's decree of marriage.

This whole thing happened a bit unexpectedly, but I have to say, Yue Leyun was actually quite happy. A formidable rival had already fallen without her having to lift a finger, which was a pleasant thing no matter how you looked at it.

But this is the Prime Minister's residence, and Qiu's daughter is the most beloved legitimate daughter of the Qiu family. Such a thing happened in the Prime Minister's residence, and it was all because of Yue Leyun's post. The Qiu family must be given an explanation for this.

But how can this be explained? The man who slept with the eldest daughter of the Qiu family was none other than Sun Shixin, the eldest son of the Sun family. This is truly quite a spectacle.

The banquet could not continue, so Yue Leyun sent someone to inform the people at the front that she was feeling unwell and had taken a break, telling everyone to enjoy themselves.

With the hosts gone, who would linger here? So they took their leave in small groups. Once everyone had cleared out, Yue Leyun went through the back door to inform the Qiu and Sun families.

The two families arrived at the scene almost instantly. Qiu Zhenzhou, who hadn't appeared for a long time, also came over. Then, the first thing he did upon seeing Sun Shixin was to slap him across the face.

Sun Shixin was startled and quickly stepped back to avoid the slap. Soon after, Sun Shixin's father arrived, and the two families, along with his wife's family, were thrown into chaos.

That night, there was constant arguing in the back courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence, but the voices were all low. No one knew how the matter was resolved. However, some people saw a small bridal sedan chair being carried out of the back gate of the Prime Minister's residence. Afterwards, the two families left through the back gate, but the Prime Minister's daughter, Yue Leyun, did not show up.

These things were naturally told to Jian Yue by Xiao Cui. On the day she and Bai Jianan left, Xiao Cui hid herself in the Prime Minister's residence and watched the whole thing unfold. She also vividly described Qiu Lingfeng's appearance at the time.

"Miss, you have no idea, Qiu Lingfeng was so desperate back then. If Qiu Zhenzhou hadn't stopped her and Sun Shi hadn't held her, she really would have died. Tsk tsk, and that Sun Shixin, he obviously got the better deal. No matter how Qiu Zhenzhou insulted him, his lips never left his mouth."

Jian Yue smiled and sipped her tea, saying, "Of course, we got a great deal. She's the most beautiful woman in the capital."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui said dismissively, "If Miss were to reveal her true face, she would undoubtedly be the most beautiful woman in the capital."

Jian Yue shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about these things for now. Qiu Zhenzhou will definitely not let this marriage go through, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will also be threatened. As for the Sun family, if we really count them, they will be the most unlucky one. Sun Shixin will definitely not be able to win the beauty's heart, and he will also bring disaster upon himself. I wonder if the person who designed all this ever thought about this series of effects."

As Jian Yue spoke, she took a full sip of tea. Xiao Cui, however, was taken aback and looked at Jian Yue, asking, "Miss, what do you mean by all this? Aren't these accidents caused by their failed scheme against you?"

"An accident? Do you think there could be such a coincidental accident?"

Jian Yue put down her teacup, stood up, looked out the window, and said with a smile, "Xiao Cui, some things are not as real as what you see with your eyes. You think all of this happened because I dodged it, but have you seen the conspiracy behind it?"

Just like the human heart, some people, no matter how good you are to them, you will still suddenly discover their betrayal. Even if your heart can't bear such a blow, even if you don't want to believe, you have no choice but to believe.

As Jian Yue spoke, her gaze shifted to Xiao Cui, who instinctively trembled. Jian Yue's eyes changed, and she turned to look out the window, saying, "It's snowing. Time really flies."

Xiao Cui snapped out of her daze and awkwardly laughed, "Yes, time really flies. Miss has been back at the General's Mansion for quite some time now."

Jian Yue nodded: "Yes, by the way, it's been so long since you came back, why haven't I heard you mention Xiao Wu? The Qiu family's matter is over, there's no need for Xiao Wu to be there anymore. If you have time, go and meet with him once, and try to get rid of the Qiu family. I'll arrange a new identity for him so he can go back and live a good life."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui was taken aback again. Jian Yue looked at her curiously and asked, "What's wrong with you? You're acting strange."

"No, it's just that Miss suddenly mentioned Xiao Wu, and I was a little taken aback."

Jian Yue blinked: "This is a good thing. Why do you look unhappy? The Qiu family is not a good place. Besides, if Xiao Wu were to be registered as a slave and wanted to study, he might be able to take the imperial examination or something."

As Jian Yue spoke, she lowered her eyes and sighed, "If it weren't for me, Xiao Wu wouldn't have sold himself into slavery just to help me find out about my mother. I'm sorry to him, so I will take responsibility for his future."
