Marrying a royal playboy and becoming a glamorous matriarch

"Yesterday, Luo Laowu used the same old trick again, holding a 'romantic contest' and making a fortune, but he didn't give his partner a single penny of the profits. He even beat up his partner and kicked him out."

"Master Qin was trying to offer some helpful advice and help him reform, but instead, Luo Laowu pointed his finger at him and cursed him, verbally insulting the Prince Dun's mansion. That's how the two got into a conflict."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Luo family felt a pang of anxiety.

He looked at Luo Laowu lying on the wooden frame and hissed in a low voice, "Explain yourself clearly what happened!"

Luo Laowu closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, not uttering a sound.

The head of the Luo family kicked out with all his might, intending to kick the wooden frame, but instead kicked Luo Laowu's leg directly.

"Ouch!"

Luo Laowu screamed and hurriedly jumped up from the wooden frame.

The crowd was so frightened by the sudden appearance of a living dead person that they took two steps back. Then, upon closer inspection, they discovered something amiss.

Luo Laowu's clothes were actually clean!

Only the exposed sleeves and the cloak covering his body were stained with blood.

A voice of doubt arose from the crowd.

"Wasn't Luo Laowu about to die? How come he's alive again?"

"That Luo Laowu is a master of faking his death! He's faking it!"

"My God, I never thought anyone would dare to frame Prince Dun's Mansion. Isn't that slandering a member of the imperial family?"

He was right. Seeing this, the Luo family quickly realized that their plan had been exposed and that there were officials in front of them. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, they hurriedly slipped away.

However, Luo Laowu and the Luo family head, who were surrounded by the crowd, did not leave so easily.

The officer glanced at Luo Laowu and said coldly, "Take Luo Laowu to the Jingzhao Prefecture as well. He is in charge of Luoxianlou and has been falsifying accounts for many years. He is also among those sued by the Fang family."

Soon, Luo Laowu was tied up, and both father and son were captured.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the official walked up to Qin Ping'an, smiled, and said, "Second Master Qin, those accountants you borrowed were really useful. They cleared up the old accounts of Luoxianlou overnight, which was a great help to our master!"

Qin Pingan smiled and said, "It is my honor to be able to help the Prefect."

If Second Master Qin was being polite to him, he wouldn't dare to be impolite.

The official quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "After we finish this matter, our lord invites you in."

Qin Ping'an smiled easily and contentedly, "No problem, no problem."

The official bowed respectfully and left.

The onlookers were surprised by the unexpected turn of events.

Luo Laowu, who was originally beaten almost to death, was faking it.

The tragic victim, the head of the Luo family, committed crimes and harmed his partners.

The two men, who had come arrogantly to seek justice, were instead framed and arrested.

Qin Ping'an, who is usually a playboy and a rogue, is actually a kind-hearted person who helps those in need. He also exposes the Luo family's tricks and helps the government to eliminate evil and maintain order.

This plot twist is amazing!

At this moment, Qin Ping'an's image in the eyes of the people suddenly became much more impressive.

Finally, the officials left, and the princess breathed a sigh of relief, then beamed with joy.

The princess also heard what the official said.

She thought her youngest son would be nothing more than a playboy who indulged in eating, drinking, and having fun, but she never expected him to have such a righteous spirit and do such a just thing, which made her, as his mother, happy too.

Her son became a hero today.

The princess instructed her servants to prepare a lavish feast to celebrate the occasion.

Although the princess didn't say it aloud, she was very pleased with herself and personally led people to prepare delicious food, intending to reward Qin Ping'an properly.

Back at the manor, Qin Ping'an took the warm tea that Wei Qingrou handed him and took a sip.

He raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Wei Qingrou, then said with a smile, "The officials from the Capital Prefecture arrived so promptly, did you go to invite them?"

Wei Qingrou did not refuse and readily admitted it.

"It was just a matter of me giving an order; people were only concerned about the reputation of our Prince Dun's Mansion."

To be fair, if she were still the tofu seller, no matter how well she sold her tofu, she would still have to be respectful to officials.

Instead of what we have now, where a few words are all it takes for officials to rush over and uphold justice.

Qin Ping'an sighed softly, "Even if you have a lot of face, someone has to think of you first."

Little do people know how many people squander a winning hand simply because they never think of such a thing.

In this respect, Wei Qingrou is undoubtedly a virtuous and capable wife.

"The official also told me that the accountant you taught was a great help in sorting out the accounts of Luoxianlou, and that he would like to invite you to a banquet another day."

Wei Qingrou smiled, her eyes crinkling, "Then my husband must come with me."

"Very well, I am willing to serve you, madam."

Qin Ping'an felt affection for her girlish demeanor and pinched the tip of her nose affectionately.

Soon, a sumptuous feast was prepared by the princess, and even the old prince was pulled up from his sickbed by the princess.

In the princess's eyes, today is the day that Qin Ping'an, this playboy, will turn over a new leaf, and she must let the prince see him properly.

He needs to know that once his son becomes successful, he can no longer be beaten and scolded all the time.

Besides, how can one recover from being bedridden all day? One should absorb more joy and happiness.

The princess was truly delighted, and for the first time, she showed Qin Ping'an the tenderness and care unique to motherhood, frequently serving him food and looking at him with eyes full of affection.

Qin Ping'an was very cooperative and accepted all comers.

Whenever the princess added a dish for him, he would thank her and start eating, looking quite satisfied.

The princess looked on with satisfaction and pride, saying, "I knew my son would love to eat this."

The bond between mother and son seemed to have reached its peak at this moment.

However, the father-son bond is still lacking.

The old prince was in a bad mood throughout, and finally said slowly, "I don't know what you're after, but the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Think it over carefully."

Everyone was enjoying their meal when the prince's sudden and harsh words turned the atmosphere cold.

Qin Ping'an gradually suppressed his smile and nodded in response, "Yes, Father, rest assured, I will definitely not implicate the Prince Dun's Mansion."

The prince nodded. "That's good."

The princess was so angry that she tugged at the prince's sleeve and wanted to grab his ear and yell at him.

The prince, however, was completely oblivious. After eating and drinking his fill, he wiped his mouth and left.

"I need to rest now, I'm going to take a break."

The princess was also angered and left hastily.

Although Qin Ping'an was emotionally affected, he was genuinely hungry and still ate with great relish.

Seeing this, Wei Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief, put down her mental burden, and happily ate and drank with him.

After lunch, the two were finally able to rest, but then a servant came to report that someone from the Fang family had arrived.

It was Miss Fang who arrived.

Due to custom, it was not appropriate for the men in the family to meet the female guest, so Wei Qingrou went to see her alone.
