Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

But tomorrow I will be going to the palace to meet the emperor. If I am completely in the dark and know nothing, I will be completely helpless.

Wei Qingrou wanted to ask Qin Ping'an for advice, but he turned out to be a shameless playboy who only knew how to be a womanizer.

Back in the courtyard, he couldn't wait to pull her into the bathtub, making her blush with embarrassment, but he didn't know how to restrain himself at all.

He made the person feel weak all over, and they kept calling out to their good brother for mercy, but he acted as if he couldn't hear them, saying he couldn't hear them and asked them to call out a couple more times.

Not content with leaving the room full of water stains, they continued their antics until midnight. Wei Qingrou was truly at her wit's end. Panting, she feigned weakness and cried out in a soft voice, "Master, please stop! It's almost dawn."

"No rush, no rush. I suddenly remembered that before I left today, my mother-in-law seemed to have given you something nice. I want to take a look."

"No! You can't look!"

These words startled Wei Qingrou, making her wide awake. She used both her hands and feet to cling to him, trying to stop him from going.

Little did they know that men are all rebellious; the more you forbid them, the more they insist. Now that they're being pestered, it doesn't stop them from exhausting the woman before going.

So, Wei Qingrou was finally let go and was about to fall asleep when she noticed two burning, piercing gazes fixed on her.

She looked up and saw Qin Ping'an holding a box with the fire-repelling diagram scattered all over the ground, his eyes filled with a mad, beastly light.

It's over! It's all over.

Qin Pingan rushed over and started working again, muttering to himself, "This is good. I heard that if you do this, you can have twins, a boy and a girl."

Wei Qingrou was filled with shame and indignation, clutching the quilt beneath her tightly, forced to endure the rain and wind.

It wasn't until the sky began to lighten that Qin Ping'an finally calmed down, his face full of satisfaction.

Lazy patted Wei Qingrou's soft body and said casually, "Look at you, you're always seducing me, never letting me have a moment's peace. I've been busy all night, and you have the nerve to lie here and enjoy yourself."

This dog man!

Unfortunately, Wei Qingrou didn't even have the strength to curse anymore. Her hands and feet were weak, and the hand she angrily slapped at him had no strength at all, and it was soft and fluffy like she was being coquettish.

Qin Ping'an clicked his tongue and refused, saying, "No way, you still want to come? My wife, you're really something! Let's do it another day. At least let me get some rest before going to the palace. Even a person made of iron can't endure this hardship."

Wei Qingrou rolled her eyes in anger. What a shameless, dissolute, and filthy brat!

After another strenuous wash and grooming process, the two finally lay down in bed, and Wei Qingrou immediately fell into a deep, high-quality sleep.

So much so that when Qin Ping'an said he wanted to tell her an interesting story, she wasn't interested at all.

Who would stay up all night scrolling through gossip in the early hours? Even the most notorious ghosts wouldn't dare stay up like that.

The next day they had to go to the palace, and Qin Ping'an dared not sleep in at all. He was still full of energy, but Wei Qingrou was weak all over. She barely ate some breakfast before going with him to bid farewell to the prince and princess.

The prince and princess got up late. Since they didn't go to the palace anyway, and had nothing important to do all day, they were relaxed and at ease. They were having breakfast at the moment.

Seeing Wei Qingrou's pale face, the princess glared at her son reproachfully and personally gave her chicken soup to help her recover.

Wei Qingrou drank it and thanked her sweetly, "Thank you, Mother. The chicken soup you make here is really delicious."

Seeing how obedient she was, the princess felt even more that her youngest daughter-in-law suited her tastes, and couldn't help but feel even more sorry for her.

"If you like it, I'll stew it again next time and send it to you."

Wei Qingrou smiled and said happily, "Then I'll shamelessly take advantage of Mother."

The princess was so amused by her that she couldn't stop smiling, and quickly ordered people to prepare several more portions of pastries for them to eat slowly on the way.

It must be said that the pastries in the Princess's Kitchen are exquisite. Each one is made as elegant and beautiful as a flower, sweet and soft, both beautiful and delicious.

After getting into the carriage, Wei Qingrou finished eating two pieces and was about to take a third when Qin Ping'an picked up his folding fan and tapped her hand. The pain made her immediately pull back, wondering what she had done to offend this big shot.

Qin Ping'an's face darkened. "Eat, eat, all you know is how to eat. When have you ever been shortchanged by following me?"

What nonsense are you talking about?

Wei Qingrou's eyebrows twitched, and she knew why he was angry.

"Husband, what interesting things did you want to say last night? I really want to hear them."

Wei Qingrou looked on with anticipation, her eyes shining, clearly very enthusiastic.

Qin Ping'an's expression improved, and he hummed twice, but did not speak.

Tch, putting on airs now.

Seeing his expression, Wei Qingrou mustered her courage and sat down beside him, hugging his arm and shaking it: "Husband, I really want to know, please tell me."

Qin Ping'an was indeed very receptive to this, revealing his usual roguish smile. He curled his fingers and rubbed Wei Qingrou's face before slowly beginning his explanation.

"Actually, this matter is related to your elder sister, Wei Lanxin."

When Wei Lanxin was mentioned, Qin Ping'an's expression became serious and earnest, as if he was also a little annoyed.

Wei Qingrou sighed silently: As expected of someone she cherishes dearly, just mentioning her name makes her expression change.

This man really does separate sex and love very clearly; the person he sleeps with in bed and the person he loves in his heart may not be the same person.

Wei Qingrou secretly reminded herself to control her heart and not fall in love while she was asleep.

Qin Ping'an continued, "I've investigated. Wei Lanxin ran off with the Crown Prince."

He practically gritted his teeth, "That's His Majesty's only son, born to His Majesty's most beloved woman, who even gave her life to give birth to him. For his sake, His Majesty never appointed another empress. And Wei Lanxin actually managed to deceive the Crown Prince away, and even deceived me!"

Wei Qingrou shrank back. The transmigrated woman was very ambitious. If she was going to abduct someone, she would abduct the most powerful one. She actually abducted the Crown Prince. She was a role model for us all.

From this perspective, Qin Ping'an is just a scapegoat male supporting character who falls in love with the time-traveling woman but cannot win her heart, and is even tricked into marriage, only to marry her by a twist of fate.

Qin Ping'an was torturing the time-traveling woman so relentlessly in order to get revenge on her; poor thing, her back was almost broken.

After a long while, Qin Ping'an calmed down and said calmly, "So you know how dangerous it was to enter the palace this time, right?"

Wei Qingrou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.

She was so preoccupied with her own feelings for her children that she hadn't even thought about the fact that she was on her way to see an elderly father whose son had been abducted.

The old father's beloved empress gave birth to his son and passed away. He was made crown prince at birth and raised with great care. Suddenly, he was kidnapped by a woman who appeared out of nowhere without even saying goodbye. How is this any different from human traffickers?

Putting herself in the shoes of the elderly father, Wei Qingrou couldn't help but feel pity in her eyes—pity for herself.

As the sister of a human trafficker, she's bound to die a horrible death.

The Wei family probably married her off to Qin Ping'an, that old playboy, because they were afraid of having their entire family executed.

After all, with this marriage in place, the Wei family had become part of the emperor's nine generations of relatives, making it difficult to execute them.

However, while the death penalty may be avoided, punishment is inevitable.

In short, she's doomed today.
