Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

Having been imprisoned for a day and a night, Wei Lianxin had long lost her arrogance and was filled with anxiety.

Even though the person she saw was her mortal enemy, Wei Qingrou, she still felt a sliver of joy.

Thinking of Wei Qingrou's current status, she had no choice but to lower her head and say with a sob in her voice, "I was wrong in the past, I hope my younger sister will forgive my mistakes and please save me."

But her pitiful appearance did not win Wei Qingrou's sympathy.

Wei Qingrou knew that Wei Lianxin didn't really know she was wrong; she was just afraid.

Wei Qingrou pried her fingers apart one by one, her face cold and solemn, her gaze scrutinizing with a penetrating insight.

"Wei Lianxin, what exactly did you do?"

Wei Lianxin lowered her head, looking guilty, her eyes darting around restlessly.

"I didn't do anything, they misunderstood."

Seeing that she still wanted to deceive him, Wei Qingrou got up and was about to leave.

"If you don't talk, then I'm leaving. Just wait for the Imperial Clan Court to judge your case."

Seeing that she was really about to leave, Wei Lianxin quickly grabbed her sleeve.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying."

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Qingrou walked out of the Imperial Clan Court, her eyes calm and her brows slightly furrowed.

She already knew about Wei Lianxin's crimes.

Previously, Wei Lianxin did not heed Wei Qingrou's advice to stay away from Wei Lanxin, but instead got involved with Wei Lanxin.

Seeing that Wei Lanxin was living in poverty, she wanted to help him in order to win his favor.

However, she was short of money, so the amount of money and goods she provided was very small.

But just when you're feeling sleepy, someone happens to find Wei Lianxin and offers her ten taels of silver as a reward to introduce her to Wei Lanxin.

Wei Lianxin, greedy for money and wanting to win the favor of Wei Lanxin and the Wei family, agreed.

That young master was wealthy and generous; after only meeting Wei Lanxin once, he actually gave her ten taels of silver.

After that, Wei Lianxin often acted as a matchmaker for the two, creating opportunities for them to meet by chance, and each time she could get ten to fifty taels of silver.

The young man gave her money, but he only talked and chatted, without doing anything excessive, which made her feel that the money was extremely easy to earn.

On the day the Crown Prince returned to the palace, Wei Lanxin, distraught, sought out Wei Lianxin, hoping she could help stop the Crown Prince's carriage.

Wei Lianxin then hired some thugs to stop the car, and as a result, the whole group was arrested, including her, who had ordered the arrest.

Wei Lianxin dared to obstruct the prince's carriage and interfere with his return to the palace; no wonder the Imperial Guards detained her.

After that, Wei Lianxin didn't know what happened after she entered the Imperial Clan Court, but Wei Qingrou could roughly guess what happened.

Wei Lianxin's failure to stop the eldest prince from returning to the palace caused Wei Lanxin to completely lose hope, believing that she had been utterly abandoned by the eldest prince.

At this moment, a wealthy young man with ulterior motives stepped forward and offered timely help. Heartbroken, Wei Lan left.

But is what Wei Lianxin did really as she said? Is there anything else she's hiding?

Wei Qingrou became suspicious.

She gazed at the Wei family's rosewood carriage in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

When Madam Wei saw Wei Qingrou from afar, she quickly waved to her.

Wei Qingrou smiled slightly, walked quickly to the carriage, and helped Madam Wei into the carriage.

The carriage rumbled forward, leaving the Imperial Clan Court and heading towards the Prince Dun's residence.

Madam Wei asked with a worried expression, "Qingrou, what has happened?"

Wei Qingrou pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "Mother, were you involved in what Second Sister did?"

What she really wanted to ask was whether the Wei family had been involved in obstructing the eldest prince's return to the palace.

At the same time, she was extremely nervous. The eldest prince was Emperor Longxing's Achilles' heel; to touch him was to die.

If the Wei family is truly involved, then even if she marries into the Prince Dun's mansion, she will still be targeted with their anger.

"This matter involves royal secrets and is of great importance. I hope Mother will tell the truth. If we make a mistake, the Wei family will be in trouble."

Hearing this, Madam Wei dared not be negligent and shook her head: "Mother does not know."

Wei Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Madam Wei was telling the truth.

"If Mother hadn't interfered, it would have been fine, but we would still have to use the connections of Prince Dun's mansion, so it might not have worked."

Wei Qingrou said this to tell Madam Wei that this matter would be difficult to handle, and to prepare her mentally for the possibility that Wei Lianxin would not be able to leave prison.

Wei Qingrou said, "Mother, just wait at home. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you."

"I'm just reminding you, Mother, that once my second sister comes out safely, please don't ask her about this matter, and it's best not to meet with her."

Madam Wei looked tense and worried, and couldn't help but say, "Qingrou, could you explain more clearly so that your mother can understand?"

Wei Qingrou sighed and said, "Mother, do you still remember that I specifically reminded you and your second sister not to help your eldest sister, and it would be best if you didn't meet with her?"

Madam Wei immediately realized what it meant, and her face showed some embarrassment.

Because of this incident, she almost developed a rift with Wei Qingrou.

Fortunately, Lord Wei explained the reason to her, which made her put aside her resentment and go to Qianyu Tower to show her support, thus resolving the estrangement between mother and daughter.

Could it be related to this matter?

Madam Wei's expression changed slightly: "You mean, Lianxin..."

Wei Qingrou nodded: "Second sister ignored advice and interfered in this matter privately, which is why she is in jail."

Madam Wei nearly cried out in alarm, her heart filled with lingering fear.

Fortunately, she listened to Wei Qingrou's advice and did not contact her eldest daughter, nor did she involve the Wei family in this matter.

Otherwise, she would probably be in the same predicament as Wei Lianxin, trapped in prison.

Her own daughter was naturally her precious treasure, but since the entire Wei family was involved, Madam Wei dared not be careless in the slightest.

She quickly assured her, "Qingrou, don't worry, Mother will not interfere in this matter."

"So good."

"Then, how is she now? Can Qingrou tell her mother?"

Madam Wei spoke tentatively, saying, "If it's inconvenient to tell you, Qingrou, you don't have to."

Wei Qingrou sighed.

"What my elder sister has done is shocking and unconventional. You will find out sooner or later. I am telling you now so that you can prepare in advance. Just don't make a big fuss about it."

"Alright, Mother will certainly not speak carelessly."

"My eldest sister has now separated from the eldest prince and left with another man."

"what!"

Madam Wei's vision went black, she nearly fainted, and her whole body swayed precariously.

She was already guilty of a capital offense for eloping with the eldest prince, but now she dares to betray him and cuckold him.

The Wei family is likely to be wiped out by her.

"Qingrou, what should we do?"

Madam Wei was so frightened that tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed Wei Qingrou's hand as if she had grasped a lifeline.

Wei Qingrou quickly helped Madam Wei up and said, "I hope Mother will take good care of herself so that we can make a future together."

"For now, we can only take it one step at a time. Mother, please don't ask any more questions; I cannot say."

Wei Qingrou didn't intend to say anything more.

If Madam Wei found out that Wei Lanxin had missed out on the position of Imperial Concubine, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.
