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

"Shangguan Jianyue, you will die a horrible death."

The shrill, piercing scream shattered her eardrums, causing Jian Yue to tilt her head slightly and look away in disgust. Only after the sound disappeared did she turn back and look at the madwoman Sun Shi, saying, "So, you've come here to cause trouble just to curse me to a terrible death?"

With her arms restrained by the servants of the Crown Prince's residence, Madam Sun leaned forward, unable to get any closer to Jian Yue. She could only glare at her fiercely and say, "You slut, you're dead, so why are you still alive? You caused my Rong'er's tragic death, and then you harmed my Feng'er. Now you're even trying to steal Feng'er's man. You're a slut, you'll definitely die a horrible death, you'll definitely die a horrible death."

Jian Yue smiled and walked unsteadily to Sun Shi. She raised her hand slightly and suddenly slapped Sun Shi across the face. Sun Shi was stunned by the slap, and then felt a pain on the other side of her face. She immediately cried out.

Jian Yue slapped him four or five times in a row before laughing wickedly, "Alright, go ahead. Let's see how much strength you have left. Don't worry, I'll wait until you've finished cursing before I continue slapping you."

As Jian Yue spoke, she pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her hands with disgust, then threw the handkerchief on the ground and beckoned to the maid beside her, saying, "Go, bring me a stool."

A stool was quickly brought over, and Jian Yue sat down, resting her chin on her hand, leaning forward, and looking at the now quiet Sun Shi, she smiled silently: "What are you doing? You're so old, why are you still so impulsive?"

Look at the sky above you, and look at the ground beneath your feet. This is the Crown Prince's residence! You come here to cause trouble? Do you really not want your head anymore?

As she spoke, Jian Yue looked up and said to the men escorting Sun Shi, "The Crown Princess is about to arrive at the residence, a joyous occasion, and yet you insist on causing trouble. If you offend the Crown Princess, we don't have enough heads to be beheaded."

"You, take her to the dungeon and keep a close eye on her. Once the Crown Princess enters the house, we'll see what to do next. Be careful, don't let her fall. She's still the legitimate wife of the Qiu family."

Upon hearing this, Sun struggled and said, "You filthy hussy, who do you think you are? What right do you have to imprison me? Let me go, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

"Hmph, kill me? Come on, let's see if you have three heads and six arms. Life in this Crown Prince's residence is really boring. Otherwise, I'll bring your precious daughter over now and see how I deal with you."

Before Sun could speak, Jian Yue said to the maid beside her, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go to the Qiu family to invite your future concubine over. Tell her that her mother is causing trouble in the Crown Prince's residence. As for the reason, just tell the truth."

Sun immediately burst into a tirade: "If you're so capable, come at me! Who do you think you are? A nameless, dissolute woman, what right do you have to point fingers here? My Feng'er is the future concubine, how dare you do anything to me? Let go of me now!"

Jian Yue smiled again and said sarcastically, "Even now, you're still like this? Do you really think your Qiu family is still a dog in the Crown Prince's hands?"

As she spoke, she waved her hand, signaling the guards escorting Sun to release her. Sun, now free, immediately lunged at Jian Yue. Jian Yue sneered, easily dodging Sun's five-foot scratch, and instead seized her, bringing her mouth close to Sun's ear and whispering with a smile:

"When my mother was imprisoned, do you think I didn't know the inside story? I won't let a single member of the Qiu family go, and I will completely destroy this Crown Prince's residence. Do you think the Crown Prince will believe you if you tell Qiu Lingfeng this and then Qiu Lingfeng tells the Crown Prince?"

As she spoke, she caught sight of Murong Chuan walking in out of the corner of her eye. A smile appeared in her eyes, and she suddenly pushed Madam Sun aside, exclaiming, "Madam Qiu, what are you doing? This is not a place for you to run wild."

Sun was pushed and staggered. In her panic, coupled with what Jian Yue had just said, she didn't even notice the extra person beside her. She just angrily pointed at Jian Yue and cursed, "You troublemaking slut! My Feng'er is the master here. What are you? Just wait until the Crown Prince gets tired of you. I will definitely send you to the military camp to be a military prostitute."

Jian Yue frowned, her face grim, and said, "Even if Qiu Lingfeng enters the manor, she will only be a concubine. Do you think the main wife in this manor is just a decoration? Don't forget, in two days, the Crown Princess will be entering the manor."

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun suddenly snarled, "It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, my Feng'er would definitely be the principal wife. You're the one who owes me this! You're a vixen, a jinx, a slut, a whore! You're the one who's been with a thousand men and ridden by ten thousand..."

"presumptuous."

Murong Chuan couldn't stand listening to Sun Shi's writing any longer, his face turning ashen as he coldly stared at her.

Sun was startled, and when she turned to see Murong Chuan, she stared in horror.

Murong Chuan coldly said, "The wife of Qiu Zhenzhou made a scene in my residence and insulted my people. Do you think I'm just a decoration?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Sun immediately knelt down in fright, hastily kowtowing and saying, "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please calm your anger! It wasn't me, it was all that wretched woman's fault, she..."

"Shut up! How dare you insult a slut like that? My women have never needed your pointing fingers! Guards, open her mouth and beat her until she can't utter another word."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Golden Armor Guards moved. In just a moment, while Sun was still dumbfounded, she had already been slapped several times. In addition to the slaps she had already received from Jian Yue, her face was now so swollen that it was unrecognizable.

Jian Yue covered her lips and frowned, saying, "To be eyeing the position of the principal wife before even entering the family means that Your Highness's life in the inner palace won't be easy after the wedding. Your Highness should make proper arrangements, otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the Prime Minister."

Murong Chuan looked at Jian Yue, his voice softening: "You're the one who's thinking of me. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

As he spoke, he said to the people behind him, "Someone, go and invite the eldest daughter of the Qiu family."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue stopped her, saying, "I've already sent someone to fetch them. Look, they've returned, but your concubine is nowhere to be seen."

Murong Chuan frowned and said, "You're not even a concubine yet, what's with your arrogance? With just one word from me, you won't be a concubine anymore."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue suddenly smiled and mocked, "You're willing to do that?"

I'm afraid you're willing to give it up, but your body isn't.

Jian Yue didn't say those words, but looked at Murong Chuan meaningfully. Murong Chuan suddenly smiled and said, "What's the big deal? She's just a woman. It's not like I can't find another one."

Jian Yue frowned slightly. Could it be that Murong Chuan had found the so-called ghost doctor?

After Murong finished speaking, he turned to the maid who had gone to fetch Qiu Lingfeng and asked, "Where is Qiu Lingfeng?"

The maid shrank back and quickly knelt down, saying, "Your Highness, spare my life! Miss Qiu didn't come because she said her mother was wrong and should be punished. She only begs Your Highness to spare her life and fulfill her filial duty as a daughter."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yue suddenly smiled and looked at Madam Sun sarcastically, saying, "Look at your good daughter, she has abandoned you, her mother, for her own future."

Sun was already seeing stars from the beating. When she heard that the people who went to look for Qiu Lingfeng had returned and were still searching for her daughter, she was still confused when she heard Jian Yue's mockery. Then she realized what the girl had said after Murong Chuan asked her question.

Seeing Sun's bewildered expression, Jian Yue smiled and asked the maid, "When I left, I remember saying that if Miss Qiu didn't come, the head of the Qiu family, Master Qiu, would definitely come. Where is he?"

Upon hearing this, the maid said, "I didn't see Lord Qiu, but I did see the old lady of the Qiu family. The old lady knows about this matter and has made it clear that Lord Qiu must divorce his wife. She said that the Qiu family does not want a daughter-in-law who has such a bad reputation."

If being abandoned by her daughter was something Sun Shi found hard to accept, then being divorced and becoming a discarded woman was the final piece of bad news for her.

After hearing the maid's words, her eyes, swollen to slits, were filled with obvious shock. After staring at the maid and finishing speaking, she suddenly jumped up, grabbed the maid's neck without hesitation, and roared, "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense! I am the legitimate wife of the Qiu family, I am the daughter of the Sun family! How could I be divorced? Impossible, absolutely impossible! You must have been instructed by that bitch! Bitch!"

The maid was nearly choked to death. The golden-armored guards immediately stepped forward and pulled Sun Shi away, but Sun Shi used too much force and they couldn't pull her away at all. Seeing this, Murong Chuan didn't hold back and drew the sword of the guard next to him. He raised his hand and chopped at Sun Shi's hands.

Suddenly, a shrill scream pierced the sky. Sun lay on the ground, covered in blood, her hands severed and bleeding profusely.

Murong Chuan threw the sword on the ground with disgust and said coldly, "Drag him out and send him back to the Qiu family. Tell Qiu Zhenzhou that my patience is limited. If this happens again, I will not let him off lightly."

This "lightheartedness" refers to the Qiu family. The Qiu family has fallen into decline. If Murong Chuan completely relinquishes control, the Qiu family will inevitably disappear from the capital city, vanishing without a trace.

Murong Chuan's actions can be seen as giving Jian Yue an explanation and fulfilling his previous promise.

As Jian Yue watched Sun Shi being dragged away, still screaming in agony, a pang of sorrow welled up in her heart. She sighed, "Some people are just like that; their insatiable greed leads them to such a tragic end."

Murong Chuan smiled and said, "Isn't this the result you wanted? As I promised, the Qiu family is yours to enjoy as you please."

Jiaoyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure you can bear to part with it?"

Murong Chuan shook his head: "I wasn't reluctant at all, it was just that the situation forced me to."

Jian Yue raised her eyes, looked at the bloodstains on the ground, smiled slightly, and said, "In that case, I won't be polite."

Jian Yue's smile looked cold and even had a bloodthirsty feel to it, but at this moment, it inexplicably attracted Murong Chuan even more. Murong Chuan looked at Jian Yue quietly, with confusion in his eyes.
