May this scumbag husband, who favored his concubine over his wife, rest in peace.

"Jieyou, you saw it too," Princess Anping said with a bitter smile, "I was really blinded by greed back then, which is why I wanted to kill Wen Yuanshu."

She always tried to calm Princess You down, but she never expected that her momentary lapse in judgment would lead to such a disaster.

Princess Jieyou gritted her teeth: "Mother, you are the eldest princess! The Wen family is so arrogant, I will go to the palace now and beg His Majesty and the Empress to do justice for us!"

As she spoke, Princess Jieyou stood up.

"No!"

Princess Anping sat bolt upright in bed: "His Majesty must not know about this!"

"Mother, they've already gone too far in bullying us, why should we put up with it!" Princess Jieyou couldn't understand at all.

When had the mother and daughter ever suffered such humiliation before!

Princess Anping sighed.

Her bodyguards were different from those of others.

Her bodyguards were bestowed upon her by the late emperor, and their combat strength was far superior to that of ordinary bodyguards.

If this matter were to reach the emperor and he were to find out that we once had such a secret force, things would likely turn out badly.

After listening to Princess Anping finish speaking, Princess Jieyou immediately regained her composure.

"Therefore, this matter must absolutely not be revealed to anyone."

Princess Jieyou pursed her lips and finally nodded.

She clenched her fists, her eyes filled with resentment.

This flurry of activity was confined to the Princess Anping's residence. Outsiders only knew that Princess Anping was furious, but they did not know why she was angry.

The Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner.

Early that morning, before dawn, Lu Chengyuan looked down at Wen Yuanshu, who was still fast asleep in his arms. He, who was usually so decisive and ruthless, was now at a loss as to whether or not he should wake her up.

Seeing her sleeping so soundly, he couldn't bear to do it for a moment.

But if we don't call her and miss the dragon boat race, she might get angry.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chengyuan gently shook her twice: "Yuan Shu, get up."

No movement.

“Get up,” Lu Chengyuan said. “If you’re any later, there won’t be any good seats left.”

He shook her a few more times, and Wen Yuanshu frowned before finally rubbing her eyes and waking up.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost Chenshi (7-9 AM)." Lu Chengyuan said as he picked the person up in his arms.

I have to say, once I get out of bed, I wake up really quickly.

Hearing the commotion, Chunhua came in, and Lu Chengyuan left to wash and change in the front yard.

After they finished getting ready, the two had breakfast together and were about to leave when Wen Qinglan and Wen Siyu came over and wanted to go with them.

Since they were already right in front of them, it wasn't appropriate to refuse them outright, so everyone went towards the moat together.

Lu Chengyuan was somewhat displeased that he had to bring two troublesome children with him when he was about to leave.

Wen Yuanshu hooked his finger and said, "Qinglan and her sister are visiting the capital for the first time and don't have any friends, so Mother asked us to take them with us."

Lu Chengyuan took her hand in his palm, his voice tinged with a hint of grievance: "But this is also the first time we've spent the Dragon Boat Festival in the capital."

Seeing this, Wen Yuanshu felt a lump in her throat and a pang of sadness: "Then after we've seen the dragon boat races, let's each do our own thing, okay?"

Lu Chengyuan nodded reluctantly and said, "Then you'd better make it up to me when you get back tonight."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yuanshu's face instantly turned cold, and she pulled her hand away: "One thing at a time."

This person has no self-control; if she agrees now, she won't be able to sleep tonight.

“Yuan Shu…” Lu Chengyuan tugged at her sleeve, “We haven’t…”

"Don't say these things in broad daylight!" Wen Yuanshu said through gritted teeth, her face slightly flushed.

Lu Chengyuan could only sigh and look up at the sky.

He has good self-control, but he doesn't use it for things like this...

-

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people by the river. However, thanks to Lu Chengyuan's quick eyes and legs, he picked up Wen Yuanshu with one arm and took a few steps forward, thus securing an excellent spot.

Wen Qinglan and Wen Siyu quickly followed.
