The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her

"You call me Second Brother, and I'll call you Ling'er Sister, okay?" Wang Jingkang's eyes were eager as he took the initiative to get closer to her.

Jiang Ling didn't care about the form of address, but Wang Jingkang's enthusiasm still infected her, and she nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Wang Jingkang was secretly delighted, then grinned at Jiang Yuyan, "Hehe~ good nephew, I'm your second uncle!"

Jiang Yuyan looked at his mother before nodding and obediently calling out, "Second Uncle."

Wang Jingkang's face lit up with a smile. He then took out a light purple embroidered veil from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Ling, saying, "Ling'er, here you go!"

Jiang Ling glanced at the veil, then stared at him coldly, "You think I'm ugly?"

"Ah? No, no! Ling'er, please don't misunderstand!"

Wang Jingkang waved his hands frantically, explaining in a flustered manner, "I didn't mean that. I was afraid people outside would gossip and spoil your mood! You didn't even go out, so you don't know, but the area outside the Marquis of Zhongyi's residence is full of onlookers, saying all sorts of things!"

Wang Jingkang was so anxious he was practically swearing an oath to heaven.

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Ling smiled and took the veil. "Okay, I'll put it on."

The veil concealed her disfigured and grotesque face, revealing only a pair of delicate and beautiful eyes. Wang Jingkang was suddenly stunned, and murmured in a daze, "Ling'er, you are so beautiful."

Jiang Ling was amused by him and chuckled.

"Jingkang, what are you doing? Stop dawdling! The family is waiting!" Wang Dewu walked a long way and when he saw that they hadn't followed, he urged them on.

Wang Jingkang quickly replied, "Okay, Dad, I'm coming!"

Wang Jingkang obediently led the way, but he was filled with deep regret. Ling'er's eyes and brows were so beautiful; if she hadn't been disfigured, she would have been an absolute celestial beauty! That damned midwife—the Zhenbei General's Mansion would never let her get away with this!

Upon exiting the gate of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness's residence.

Sure enough, there was a huge crowd outside, with people gathered and discussing the situation.

"What bad thing did the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion do to get struck by lightning? Last night's lightning was terrifying! It almost scared the crap out of me, I thought the sky was falling!"

"Look! Isn't that the General Who Guards the North? It's been many years since he's returned to the Marquis of Loyalty's residence, hasn't it? And who are that mother and child?"

"Ugly hag!" In a teahouse not far away, Crown Prince Murong Jingming glared at Jiang Ling with hatred and disdain, gritting his teeth: "Guards!"

The guard clasped his hands in a salute, "Your Highness."

"Go! Find someone to kill that ugly hag! Today, I must hear the news of her death!"

"But Your Highness, she is accompanied by the General Who Guards the North! How can we make a move?"

"Useless! Couldn't you wait until she was alone? If you can't kill that ugly monster, I'll kill you!" Murong Jingming, still furious, added, "Kill that bastard too!"

The Empress forbade him to break off the childhood betrothal!

He kept saying that the imperial advisor had predicted his fate, and that he must marry the second young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyi's family in order to successfully ascend the throne!

Murong Jingming just wanted to say, "Bullshit!" He might be willing to marry Wang Wanyue, that beautiful and charming innocent girl, for fun. Marry an ugly hag? A disfigured, ugly woman who'd fathered a bastard child with who-knows-who—he wanted to vomit just looking at her!

As the Crown Prince, there is absolutely no way he would marry a used woman!

Should we prevent him from breaking off the engagement?

Then kill Jiang Ling!

Even from a distance, Jiang Ling instantly sensed the intense killing intent. Glancing at the distant teahouse out of the corner of her eye, she gave a disdainful snort.

Wang Jingkang spread his large hands to block the crowd's stares, "Sister Ling'er, little nephew, get on the carriage quickly!"

"Jingkang, you ride in the carriage with your sister and nephew, and I will ride the horse." Wang Dewu winked at his son, and Wang Jingkang nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.

Once seated in the carriage, Wang Jingkang rubbed his hands together, revealing a handsome smile: "Ling'er, are you confused? Let me, your second brother, explain the family situation to you and your nephew!"

"Okay." Jiang Ling nodded.

Jiang Yuyan sat upright, her little face filled with curiosity as she looked at him.

Wang Jingkang held up three fingers. “My grandfather and grandmother had two sons and a daughter. My father was the second son. Twenty years ago, your father and my father were fighting over the hereditary title. My grandfather wanted to pass it on to the eldest son, but my grandmother wanted to give it to my father.”

"They argued like this for a year. After your eldest brother was born, your parents relied on the fact that they had given birth to the eldest grandson and obtained the hereditary title. Then, your parents started to make a fuss about dividing the family property and wanted my father and my aunt to move out. In a fit of anger, my grandmother moved out with us and built the Zhenbei General's Mansion."

Wang Jingkang shrugged and said sympathetically, "Your grandfather was kicked out of the house by your grandmother for supporting your parents, and they haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

Jiang Ling was surprised to hear this, "Grandmother has such a fiery temper?"

"Actually, Grandma is a very kind, gentle person. It's just that Grandpa insists on arguing with her. I won't say anymore. You and your little nephew will understand when you meet her! My mother, my two aunts, my three younger brothers, and my aunt are all looking forward to meeting you!"

Jiang Ling nodded, then naturally struck up a casual conversation with Wang Jingkang. She asked, "Second Brother, have you been feeling unwell lately? Or has anything unusual happened?"

"Wow! Ling'er, are you worried about me? Hehehe, I'm in great health! I practice several sets of boxing every morning! As for special events..."

Wang Jingkang stroked his chin, then suddenly had a brilliant idea. He mysteriously teased, "Little sister Ling'er, I recently acquired a treasure! Come to my courtyard later, and I'll show it to you!"

"Okay." Jiang Ling's gaze lingered on his brows, and she knew what to expect.

The yin energy emanating from Wang Jingkang most likely originated from this treasure!

The carriage arrived at the Zhenbei General's Mansion.

As soon as they stepped off the carriage, Jiang Ling and Jiang Yuyan were both shocked.

The entire Zhenbei General's family was waiting at the main gate, including the old lady!

“Mother, your son has brought his niece and grand-nephew back!” Wang Dewu introduced from the front, “This is Jiang Ling, and this is Jiang Yuyan.”

"My dear granddaughter, you've suffered! This must be my precious great-grandchild! Oh my, what a lovely baby, let great-grandmother hold you!"

"Mom, you're getting on in years, don't hurt your back! Let me carry you! My dear child, I'm your great-aunt!"

So enthusiastic!

Jiang Yuyan was so frightened that he hid behind Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling wasn't faring much better. The General's wife and two concubines surrounded her, scrutinizing her. One said she was too thin, another said she was dressed too lightly, and the third felt sorry for her because she didn't even have a single piece of jewelry. Surrounded by a group of enthusiastic people as she entered the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Jiang Ling was at a loss and completely bewildered.

Upon entering the lobby, the scene became even more extravagant. A mountain of gifts awaited them, and everyone showered them with concern and well-wishes; Jiang Ling's face was practically frozen from smiling.

She couldn't handle so many enthusiastic people.

"Second Brother," Jiang Ling whispered to Wang Jingkang, "Didn't you say you'd take me to see the treasure?"

Wang Jingkang helplessly spread his hands, "We can't leave, can we?"

"Ahem! Everyone, I'll have my second brother take me out for a walk. Little one, you keep the elders company and chat with them!" Jiang Ling had barely finished speaking when she slipped away.

Two-year-old Jiang Yuyan blinked, looked at the group of elders in the room who were all smiles and beaming with enthusiasm, and sighed like a little adult.

what else can we do?

He's a man, he has to cover for his mother!

Jiang Yuyan puffed out his chest and said in a cool, childlike voice, "Ask me anything you need to know!"

Wow! So cute! So well-behaved! Let Grandma hold you!
