Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Having witnessed what Lian Rongrong did to Sun Shu, how could Qi Wangsheng not be afraid?

Seeing Lian Rongrong getting closer and closer, Qi Wangsheng simply pushed his wife forward, muttering to himself:

"Lian Rong, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, you were the one who wronged me first."

The person pushed forward by Qi Wangsheng was none other than Lian Rongrong's cousin, Wang Yue, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

After the Lian family returned to Beijing, Wang Yue already knew about the deaths of Lian Xiuyan and Wang Yang.

Wang Yue, who already harbored deep hatred for Lian Rongrong, now wished even more for Lian Rongrong to die immediately.

Although Wang Yue witnessed Lian Rongrong's words and actions today, she was not afraid.

Wang Yue still believed that as long as her uncle Lian Jinghuai was around, that bitch Lian Rong wouldn't dare to do anything to her.

Lian Jinghuai already owed the Wang family a debt, and now that her mother and brother had died tragically, she refused to believe that Lian Jinghuai would allow his own daughter to kill her as well.

Wang Yue stood confidently in front of Qi Wangsheng, her first words dripping with sarcasm:

"My cousin is now a princess, and she has quite a temper. But is my husband wrong?"

My cousin was divorced because you had an affair and even got pregnant with someone else's child.

What? Has the world deteriorated to the point where unfaithful women can act with impunity?

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, she received a solid slap. The burning and numbness on her left cheek came even before she could regain consciousness.

Wang Yue covered her face, her eyes wide open. The "culprit" opposite her, however, looked lazy and listless.

"What? You're not used to being hit after so many days?"

"Lian Rong! What right do you have? How dare you? I am now a third-rank imperial consort, how dare you lay a hand on me?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, a third-rank imperial consort, huh? Didn't they teach you that disrespecting your superiors will get you a beating?"

Lian Rongrong suddenly turned to look at Li Yuanqi and asked in a coquettish voice, "Husband, tell my cousin, what is the status of a concubine?"

Li Yuanqi twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly. Even in bed, Rongrong had never spoken to him in such a delicate voice.

Even so, Li Yuanqi still replied with affection, "Father Emperor personally decreed that Madam is a First-Rank Princess!"

The moment the words "First-Rank Princess Consort" were uttered, the entire audience erupted in uproar. Had the old emperor gone mad?

Since the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, even the Crown Princess was only a first-rank princess, but now he has bestowed the title of First-Rank Princess upon the Princess of Qi.

What does this mean? It's already quite obvious.

"A first-rank princess? How is that possible? Only the empress is..." Wang Yue finally realized the problem at this point.

In an instant, a surge of resentment welled up inside her. Why? Why was that bitch Lian Rong always able to get ahead of her?

She finally became a Lady of Imperial Decree, but Lian Rong became a First-Rank Princess.

Jealousy and resentment instantly clouded Wang Yue's judgment, and she roared at Lian Rongrong as if she had gone mad:

"A first-rank princess consort? You dare to challenge me?" Wang Yue's eyes were filled with resentment and venom. She then looked around at everyone and shouted loudly:

"Do you all know what kind of person this First-Rank Princess Consort is? She! When she was still the young mistress of the Qi family, she cheated on someone and had an illegitimate child."

My husband divorced her because this woman was unfaithful. Such a vile woman should have been drowned in a pig cage long ago.

I suspect that she deceived the emperor and tricked him into bestowing upon her the title of First-Rank Princess.

Tomorrow—no, today—my husband will present this matter to the emperor. I believe that once His Majesty learns the truth, he will surely execute this vile woman.

Wang Yue cursed Lian Rongrong, calling her a "bitch" and a "slut" with great satisfaction, but the people present who had just witnessed Lian Rongrong's methods lowered their heads and remained silent.

Although they still harbored the intention to watch the show unfold, they didn't care who took the lead.

Since Wang Yue is so eager to oppose Lian Rongrong, it's best for everyone to avoid getting involved.

Wang Yue was recklessly flirting with death, while Lian Rongrong never objected. She stood by as if nothing was wrong, watching Wang Yue go crazy.

After the crazy woman finally finished cursing, Lian Rongrong sneered and looked around at everyone with the air of someone in a superior position.

Do you all think Madam Qi's words are true or false?

The entire room fell silent. Lian Rongrong shook her head and sighed somewhat boredly.

"You've all chickened out already? That's no fun." Lian Rongrong returned to Li Yuanqi's side, leaning against his shoulder like a little bird.

Looking at Wang Yue defiantly, he said softly, "What can we do? Prince Qi knows everything you've said, yet he still married me. Aren't you angry?"

Lian Rongrong's words were tantamount to admitting Wang Yue's words, and everyone present, including Li Yuanyi, couldn't help but look up at her.

Lian Rongrong met everyone's gazes without flinching. After a few moments, she clapped her hands lightly and called out to the door:

"Come in, it's your turn."

Everyone's gaze followed the direction Lian Rongrong was looking.

All that could be seen was a thinly dressed woman with a frail figure slowly walking in.

“Miss Meng, you know the story best, so why don’t you tell everyone about it?”

"Yes." The woman, whom Lian Rongrong called Miss Meng, raised her head slightly. The moment she looked at everyone, Prince Ling immediately recognized that this Miss Meng was actually Meng Yuyan, the illegitimate daughter he was unwilling to acknowledge.

A strong sense of unease instantly swept over Ling Wang. At that moment, an extremely ominous guess popped into Ling Wang's mind.

Perhaps everything that happened today was part of Li Yuanqi and Lian Rongrong's plan. And for the past half month, they let the rumors run rampant, all in preparation for this day.

Ling Wang's lips twitched slightly, but after careful consideration, he refrained from speaking.

After all, speaking up now would be tantamount to personally acknowledging his relationship with Meng Yuyan. It's important to remember that Meng Yuyan's birth mother was nothing more than a lowly prostitute.

Although Prince Ling did something shameless, he still wanted to save face.

Just as Prince Ling was weighing the pros and cons, Meng Yuyan spoke up:

"Don't listen to Qi Wangsheng's lies. No one knows what happened better than me."

That scoundrel Qi Wangsheng harbored the intention of currying favor with the Lian family when he proposed marriage to them. At that time, the Qi family was just a small, insignificant household.

But the Lian family is different. General Lian has made outstanding contributions. If the Qi family can become related by marriage, their future will be guaranteed.

And indeed, the Qi family did gain a lot of benefits from their marriage alliance with the Lian family.

But that bastard Qi Wangsheng is eyeing the Lian family's power while also coveting other women.

"How did you know that Lord Qi is eyeing other women?" someone in the crowd asked.

Meng Yuyan took a deep breath and then said loudly, "Because on the day of Qi Wangsheng and Miss Lian's wedding, this bastard was in my bed!"

Meng Yuyan's words were like a thunderclap, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

On the day of Qi Wangsheng and Lian Rongrong's wedding, Qi Wangsheng was in Meng Yuyan's bed? This statement contains a lot of information.

Is that what they mean?
