Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

"Yes."

Finally, Wei Qingrou looked at Miss Fang, a smile playing on her lips, "Do you want Luo Laowu to cough up the money he owes your family?"

Although Miss Fang was terrified by the bloody scene and turned pale, she immediately understood what Wei Qingrou meant.

Her eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly: "Please teach me, Accountant Wei."

"Alright, take your men to the Jingzhao Prefecture tonight and sue the Luo family for misappropriating the Fang family's property, understand?"

Miss Fang's gaze swept over Master Qin and Accountant Wei, and finally she clenched her hands and nodded emphatically.

"Okay, I understand."

Miss Fang knew that this was the Fang family's only chance to turn their lives around.

In the past, the Fang family had considered seeking justice in the government, but the Fang family had fallen on hard times and no one was backing them up. She was just a woman and couldn't even get into the government office, so she could only suffer in silence.

But things are different now. With Second Master Qin as her backer, even if he's a rogue and a playboy, she's willing to take a gamble.

After seeing everyone off, Wei Qingrou looked at Qin Ping'an, who was still angry, and sighed helplessly.

Why bother arguing with him?

Qin Ping'an had regained his senses. He looked up at Wei Qingrou, his eyes deep and dark.

"You also think I'm a useless playboy, and that our Prince Dun's Mansion is finished, right?"

Wei Qingrou had been married into Prince Dun's mansion for almost a year and had been in contact with Qin Ping'an, the number one playboy in the royal family, for a long time. She felt that although he was cynical, he was not completely rotten.

Moreover, the two are already married, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, they are destined to be in the same boat for life.

So she shook her head, stepped forward and took Qin Ping'an's hand, "You are not a good-for-nothing. As long as you are willing, the Prince Dun's Mansion can flourish."

Upon hearing her words, Qin Ping'an suddenly laughed, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"My lady, how do you think the Prince Dun's Mansion can further flourish?"

Wei Qingrou's encouraging smile suddenly froze.

Yes, the Prince Dun's Mansion is already the closest bloodline to the current emperor. Prince Dun has already been granted the title of Prince. How else can it be further developed and promoted?

Wei Qingrou suddenly felt as if she had figured something out, and for a moment she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, her blood freezing cold.

Qin Pingan pinched her frozen face and teased, "Scared?"

He pulled her into his arms. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The moon hung high in the sky, and the night was as dark as ink.

The seriously injured Fifth Brother Luo was carried back to the Luo family mansion. His bloodstained appearance caused an uproar throughout the Luo family.

The head of the Luo family was furious. He slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "That brat Qin Ping'an dares to be so insolent! Tomorrow morning, I will personally go to Prince Dun's mansion and demand an explanation from him!"

After he finished speaking, the Luo family members echoed his sentiments, gathering like a surging tide, determined to seek justice for Luo Laowu.

……

Early the next morning, the princess, sporting dark circles under her eyes, led her entourage into the west courtyard of the palace, her demeanor menacing.

Last night, she was worried about Qin Ping'an and the other person, and barely slept a wink, feeling anxious and uneasy.

To her surprise, the two of them came back and immediately fell asleep, completely disregarding her feelings. It was outrageous!

The princess summoned Qin Ping'an and Wei Qingrou. She sat upright in the hall with a cold face, her rattan whip cracking in her hand, as if she was about to teach him a lesson.

Qin Ping'an, however, was completely oblivious to the danger. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked with a puzzled look, "Mother, what are you doing? What serious thing has happened to our family? Is my father going to take a concubine?"

The princess was furious. She coldly flicked the rattan whip in her hand and lashed it directly at Qin Ping'an.

"You still dare to spout nonsense? Tell me! Where did you go gallivanting last night?!"

Qin Ping'an jumped three feet high in pain, almost leaping onto the roof beam. He hurriedly protested, "I wasn't fooling around. I took Qingrou to do something important. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

Wei Qingrou quickly stopped her, "Yes, yes, it's important, Mother, please calm down."

The princess ignored her words and relentlessly swung her rattan whip, striking Qin Ping'an squarely, causing him to howl in pain.

As she hit him, she said, "She's indecisive and always listens to you. She's teamed up with you to fool me."

Qin Ping'an screamed repeatedly, and in between, he looked at Wei Qingrou with pleading eyes.

Wei Qingrou had a sudden inspiration and quickly ordered someone to fetch the items.

"Mother, look at this! My husband really wasn't fooling around; he went to take care of important business."

Wei Qingrou held the sandalwood box high, inside which, in the center of a red velvet cloth, lay a translucent luminous pearl.

This luminous pearl is round and smooth, about the size of a baby's fist. It is a rare and precious item and one of Wei Qingrou's most treasured dowry items.

Even though Princess Dun had lived a life of luxury for many years, she couldn't help but be amazed when she saw this precious pearl, and she stopped the merciless rattan whip she was using to beat her son.

"Qingrou, what do you mean by this?" The princess looked at her seriously. "You must tell the truth. You are not allowed to help him lie to me."

Wei Qingrou nodded quickly, her face full of sincerity, and said, "Mother, don't worry, your daughter-in-law is always honest and would never lie."

“Last night, my husband and I went to prepare a birthday gift for you. The luminous pearl can only reveal its true appearance at night. My husband and I spent the whole night choosing one, and our eyes were almost blind from staying up so long. So when we got back, we were so tired that we fell asleep as soon as our heads hit the pillow.”

"Really?" The princess took the luminous pearl with some skepticism, examined it carefully, and her expression softened slightly.

Her birthday is on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and with the Lunar New Year approaching, her birthday will be here soon.

A smile appeared on the princess's face, which instantly turned kind. She patted Wei Qingrou's hand affectionately and said softly, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness!"

She smiled at Qin Ping'an, as if she had forgotten her earlier murderous intent, and said with a face full of heartache, "My son, why didn't you say so sooner? If you had said so earlier, how could I not feel sorry for you? Next time, you must say so earlier."

Wei Qingrou smiled faintly and remained silent.

Who would believe what the princess said?

Qin Ping'an rolled his eyes, indicating his disbelief.

“My son almost screamed his lungs out just now, but you didn’t believe him. Look what you did to me.”

"My poor eyes almost went blind from staying up so long to pick out a gift for you."

The princess laughed and said, "Alright, alright, Mother will go and make you some soup to cleanse your liver and improve your eyesight, to nourish you properly."

Qin Ping'an snorted coldly and agreed, but he was still not completely happy.

"What New Year's gift will Mother give me? And what about Qingrou? It's her first time spending the New Year at the Prince's Mansion, so you can't be stingy."

"Alright, alright, Mother won't let you down."

Only after receiving the princess's assurance was Qin Ping'an satisfied.

Just as he was about to continue taking advantage of the situation and extort money from the princess's treasury, he saw a servant rushing over in a panic.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! The Luo family is surrounding our palace gates with a blood-soaked corpse, demanding justice!"

"What? Which Luo family?" The princess was full of doubt, unable to recall any prominent families in the capital with the surname Luo.

"It is the Luo family, which has a kinship relationship with Princess Liuhe's family."
