The news I received today is truly a mixed bag.

On the bright side, the eldest son was not gay; on the dark side, he fell in love with a married woman who was also a conman.

The War King felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe.

Upon hearing Qin Qianluo's questioning words, the War King felt a surge of blood rush to his head, making him unsteady on his feet.

His body swayed, as if he might collapse at any moment. Prince Xin, Ning Yu, and Princess Ning Shuyao quickly supported their eldest brother on either side, their faces full of worry.

The War King, who had been helped up, began to have doubts: Could it be that this girl was right? He had always had great confidence in his eldest son.

But right now, the images on the screen were so bright they hurt his eyes. For the first time, he began to doubt his own judgment and his eldest son.

The eldest princess gently patted the War King's back with one hand. Both of them looked at their elder brother with deep pity.

They were equally puzzled, their gazes turning in confusion towards Qin Qianluo's direction.

You should know that Chen Jin was the first child of the royal family to be born, and they all watched him grow up.

Chen Jin's adorable appearance as a child seems to still be in my mind, and her innocent laughter seems to still echo in my ears.

From a young age, that child was well-behaved, sensible, well-read, and ambitious.

Logically speaking, Chen Jin shouldn't have turned out like this. How come the child has changed so much in such a long time, it's unbelievable?

Prince Xin, Ning Yu, and Princess Ning Shuyao supported their eldest brother, waiting for Qin Qianluo to continue. It seemed that 001 knew a lot.

Let's wait and see. Perhaps things aren't as they think; there might be some hidden story.

The emperor, who sat at the head of the table, also had a furrowed brow, his eyebrows tightly knitted together, filled with regret.

He regretted that he had deliberately invited his two elder brothers to court today just to see them make a fool of themselves.

The shameful act committed by the royal family has been witnessed by all the civil and military officials. Their eyes are like sharp arrows, making the emperor feel extremely uneasy.

The emperor couldn't help but rub his temples, fidgeting on his dragon throne.

This is truly a huge blunder! How could my nephew Chen Jin be so foolish as to do something so absurd?

001 was completely unaware of these people's thoughts, and focused intently on explaining to Luo Bao, "That's not the case. Ning Chenjin has been immersed in poetry and classics since childhood."

Having thoroughly studied the classics, histories, philosophical works, and literary collections, his talent blossomed like spring flowers, unrestrained and exuding a captivating fragrance. His demeanor also displayed royal elegance, displaying humility, gentleness, and impeccable manners.

His every gesture exudes a warm and approachable charm. His profile suggests that he is, at heart, a refined and gentle gentleman.

He is definitely not the kind of person who is tyrannical, unreasonable, or domineering. On the contrary, he is a gentle and refined gentleman, as gentle as a breeze and as bright as the moon.

But this woman was a repeat offender. In the War King's fiefdom, she always dressed seductively, swaying her hips and using flattering words.

With her silver tongue and seemingly pitiful appearance, she swindles and deceives people everywhere.

Upon arriving at the War King's fiefdom, he began meticulously planning a scam.

First, he crouched down and sneaked to a corner of the market, looking around furtively. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he quickly took out a set of coarse linen clothes from his bundle and changed into them.

Then, she frantically scratched her hair with both hands, pulling it into a mess, and then secretly pinched her eyes until they were red, creating a pitiful look.

After doing all this, she slowly strolled to a crowded part of the market, lowered her body, and squatted down with a 'thump'.

She covered her face with her hands and began to sob softly, her slender shoulders trembling, drawing the attention of passersby who felt pity for her.

Whenever someone approaches to ask her a question, she immediately perks up, looks up at the person asking, her wet eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness, and begins to vividly weave a story.

When she got emotional, she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands, her body trembled slightly, and she tearfully recounted how her family had fallen on hard times, all her relatives had died, she had been forced to leave her hometown, and she was left all alone and helpless.

His words were so earnest that many naive young men's eyes welled up with tears, and they immediately reached into their purses to help him.

Then she would pretend to refuse several times, waving her hands repeatedly, taking a small step back, with a look of fear on her face, and finally 'reluctantly' accept it.

Finally, she clasped her hands together, bowed repeatedly to her benefactor, and expressed her deepest gratitude. Her gentle and kind appearance made people trust her even more.

After succeeding a few times, she went to a bustling market, washed her face, and then targeted young men who seemed to be from wealthy families and kind-hearted.

First, she pretended to fall accidentally in front of someone, lying weakly on the ground, raising her head with teary eyes to attract the other person's attention.

Then, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and sobbed as she recounted her tragic life story, how she had lost both her parents and was left all alone.

Now, he has been bullied by thugs, all his money has been taken from him, and he has nowhere to go.

Seeing her pitiful state, the men would often feel pity and generously give her money to help her survive.

But this is just the beginning. After getting the money, they will intentionally or unintentionally tempt the men who have already taken the bait.

She was already very beautiful, and with her deliberate seduction, few men could resist. These men were all drawn to her with affection and spent a lot of money on her.

The men thought she would be a good match, but they never expected her to be a venomous snake who not only swindled them out of their money but also tried to bite them.

Even some women were unfortunately deceived by her. She would tell them a different story, claiming that she had valuable jewelry or rare fabrics that she was willing to sell at a low price.

The result is that the money is received but the item is not found. Or, he intimately takes the arm of a noblewoman and keeps speaking ill of the man in her ear, deliberately trying to make her fall in love with him.

Finally, she swindled the victim out of both money and affection, then disappeared without a trace. She knew some simple disguises, which is why she had managed to avoid being caught all this time.

Although the War King's fiefdom was quite large, this woman had traveled almost all of it over the years, so she and her husband planned to deceive one more person before leaving the War King's fiefdom.

They moved to another location to continue their swindling and deceitful schemes. Unexpectedly, the person they finally managed to cheat this time was none other than the Crown Prince of War.

When the two learned of Ning Chenjin's identity, they were so frightened that their legs went weak. They lay in bed all night, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, their bedding soaked with cold sweat.

After living in fear for a while, the woman gradually calmed down when she saw that Ning Chenjin was completely infatuated with her.

Originally, the woman was thinking that since Ning Chenjin listened to her every word, she would simply divorce her husband and marry Ning Chenjin to become the Crown Prince's wife.

After all, she could clearly distinguish between temporary wealth and lifelong honor.

However, her husband was no pushover either. He was very controlling of her and would beat her if she did anything wrong, leaving her with several bruises.

Although she was completely focused on becoming the Crown Princess, she was also afraid of acting rashly and angering her husband. If things escalated, not only would her dream be shattered, but she would also end up in prison.

After much deliberation, he ultimately dared not mention divorce, and could only suppress his ambitions for the time being, maintaining the status quo.

Qin Qianlu blinked in confusion, her brows furrowed, her gaze fixed on the woman in the light screen, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists.

The woman was beautiful, but her eyes and brows revealed a shrewdness that was good at scheming, which made me feel a strong sense of disgust.

It's hard to imagine how many people have been ruined and driven to despair because of these two.

The ministers looked at the woman on the screen with disgust, and they all frowned, their wrinkles deepening.

Some of the more outspoken senior officials couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh inwardly, exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of how to evaluate the situation.

In Tianxuan, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can easily find a legitimate job, whether it's setting up a street stall or working in a workshop, and you can earn a decent living.

Why did he choose the despicable path of deception, and why did he deceive more than one person?

If they had used their deceitful thoughts and methods on the right path, they could have lived a peaceful life and wouldn't have ended up in such a despicable state.

War King Ning Jun was so enraged that his vision was blurred, and he didn't get a good look at the woman's face.

Suppressing his anger, he took a closer look, and what he saw made his heart skip a beat.

His eldest son accompanied him to the capital this time, and there was indeed a woman with him. Her face was exactly the same as the person on the screen. Good heavens, he had managed to deceive everyone and bring her all the way to the capital!

Upon hearing about her various misdeeds, including deceiving not only one person but also attempting to seize the position of the Crown Prince's consort, her face instantly darkened to the point of being dripping with water, and the pressure around her plummeted to the extreme.

With the support of his younger brother and sister, he struggled to stand up straight, his gaze sharp as a sword as he scrutinized the woman in the light screen, his chest heaving violently.

He had already made up his mind that as soon as he got back, he would immediately lock up the woman, interrogate her severely, and never let her have another chance to cause trouble.

As for his foolish eldest son, this is a perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson and show him the wickedness of the world.

And what about those people in the fiefdom who were deceived? I wonder how they are doing now? When I get back, I must personally investigate thoroughly and give the people an explanation.

Ning Yu and Ning Shuyao noticed that their elder brother had regained his footing, so they tacitly let go of his hands and turned their gazes to the woman in the light screen. Both of their faces were filled with displeasure.

Knowing full well that Chen Jin was born into royalty and had an extremely noble status, this woman still didn't stop, and became even more unscrupulous in her deception. She really had the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard.

Such blatant disregard for the dignity of the royal family, such audacity—it's truly remarkable. The two men looked at each other with disgust, inwardly grumbling.

The emperor's face also looked somewhat gloomy at this moment. He held his forehead with his hand and tapped his fingers lightly on the dragon table.

This is blatant deception of the royal family; such behavior is extremely audacious.

But what does the word "husband" mean? Could it mean "good man"? The emperor was full of doubts and continued to listen carefully, not missing any detail.

Suppressing her displeasure, Qin Qianluo asked, "How does this woman plan to end this?"

Ning Chenjin is, after all, the heir of the War King. He wouldn't be so foolish as to be swindled out of his entire fortune, leaving him penniless and even dragging down the entire War King's mansion, would he?

Also, didn't Ning Chenjin come to the capital with the War King this time?
