After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

"The third wife?"

Lu Hanting's aura gradually turned cold, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, I framed Miss Wu because I listened to Fourth Miss's words, I..."

Chen Qing was filled with remorse. He thought it was just an ordinary frame-up, but who knew that the prince would value a concubine so much.

He thought that after being caught by Steward Li, he would be taken to Aunt Ping's place, and as long as he said that Wu Weiwei had seduced him first, he would be able to get away unscathed.

Unexpectedly, he found the Crown Prince discussing official business late at night, and upon learning of the situation, he personally came to investigate the matter.

The fourth sister promised him that she would do everything in her power to ensure his safety once the matter was successful.

But seeing the prince's chilling gaze fixed on him, he knew that if he didn't tell the truth now...

I fear that by the time they arrive tomorrow, I will be nothing but a cold, lifeless corpse.

good very good.

A concubine's daughter, born to a wealthy merchant, dared to frame his woman.

Although Wu Weiwei had guessed that it was the Fourth Sister who framed her, she did not expect that Chen Qing would implicate Lu Wanting without even thinking.

She felt a bittersweet sensation inside.

However, she couldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

She felt a pang of sadness as she imagined the scene of having no money to spend after the prince's death.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and glistening teardrops fell in a shower.

“Your Highness, I am but a lowly servant with a meager appearance and a lowly life. Moreover, I have no one to rely on in this Marquis’s mansion, and everyone can trample on me.”

If it weren't for the Crown Prince's keen insight, I'm afraid I would be dead here today.

I, I…

As she cried, everyone saw that Wu Weiwei seemed to be having trouble breathing, and her body was swaying as if she was about to collapse.

Before Lingfu could even step forward to help, Lu Hanting grabbed her and pulled her into a tight embrace, all the while giving her instructions:

"Liu Yun, drag this scoundrel out, give him a hundred lashes, and then throw him out of the Marquis's mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Highness, spare me! This was truly not my idea, I am innocent..."

Chen Qing shouted.

"You're innocent? Why didn't you say you were innocent when you framed Wu Tongfang?"

Lu Hanting glared at Liu Yun.

"Liu Yun, what are you still standing there for?"

Chen Qing's face was ashen, and he thought to himself that it was all over.

Watching Chen Qing being dragged out in despair, Wu Weiwei thought to herself that he deserved it.

"As for the Fourth Miss..."

"Your Highness, I don't blame the Fourth Miss. She...she's probably just young, competitive, and jealous of your affection for me..."

Wu Weiwei, nestled in Lu Hanting's arms, buried her head in his chest and said understandingly.

Such a vicious heart at such a young age.

"Pass on my message: the Fourth Sister is to be punished with a year's salary and sent to the nunnery to diligently copy scriptures and pray for the Old Madam. She is not to return for a year."

Although Wu Weiwei was dissatisfied with Lu Hanting's punishment.

But she is the daughter of a marquis, and this is all she can do now.

Guilan Residence.

"Qin'er, what time is it now?"

Lu Wanting couldn't sleep because she was preoccupied with her thoughts, and she didn't know if things had gone smoothly over there.

Just then, a figure rushed into the yard.

"Knock knock knock!"

The gate to the courtyard was pounded on so loudly it was deafening.

The maid opened the door and saw Chen Cai, the servant who usually served Chen Qing.

"Fourth Miss, something terrible has happened! My young master has been taken to Biyun Court by the young master! Please go and save him!"

"What did you say?"

The fourth sister put on a coat and came out.

"Fourth Miss, the thing you made my young master do has been exposed."

The young master is furious and intends to punish my son with a cane. If you don't come to his aid, he might be beaten to death!

"If Steward Li hadn't been sent to Consort Ping for processing, how would the young master have found out?"

"I... I don't know either."

It seems they encountered the Crown Prince discussing official business with someone and came after hearing the commotion…

"Hmph! He's incompetent himself, yet he has the nerve to ask me to save him."

The fourth sister was even angrier than him. He couldn't even handle such a small matter, yet he had the nerve to ask for help.

If they're dead, they're dead; they're useless anyway.

"Fourth Sister..."

The servant knelt down, "Young Master is acting on the orders of Fourth Miss. If you do not save him, I'm afraid he will surely..."

Chen Cai was a servant boy bought by the Chen family and entrusted to come to the capital to take care of Chen Qing.

If Chen Qing is beaten to death, I'm afraid his life will be in danger as well.

"Are you threatening me?"

The fourth sister glared at him angrily.

"Chen Cai dares not, I beg you, young lady, to go and rescue my young master!"

Lu Wanting swallowed her anger hard.

Chen Cai was right. Chen Qing was instructed by her to frame Wu Weiwei, and today the young master caught her red-handed.

If she doesn't protect him, he might betray her.

She went back to change her clothes, and just as she was about to leave, there was another knocking on the door outside the courtyard.

"what's up?"

"Separated by a door," the fourth sister said impatiently.

"Fourth Miss, I am Rufeng."

Upon hearing that it was Ru Feng, the Fourth Sister had the door opened.

Ru Feng glanced at the servant Chen Qing kneeling on the ground and said coldly, "By order of the young master, the old lady is not in good health."

The Fourth Sister is required to travel to the family's nunnery outside the temple to transcribe scriptures and pray for blessings for a period of one year, departing after the spring banquet.

The fourth sister was stunned.

After a long while, she suddenly realized and shouted, "I don't believe it, this definitely wasn't what my brother, the Crown Prince, said."

How dare he punish me? I... I refuse to accept this... I'm going to find my grandmother.

As the fourth sister was about to rush out, she was stopped by the people brought by Ru Feng.

"Doesn't the Fourth Miss know what she has done?"

"I... I didn't do it. It was Chen Qing who framed Wu Weiwei on his own."

He's just making things up; none of this has anything to do with me.

"Fourth Miss, I haven't even said what it is, and you've already confessed without asking."

"You still say it has nothing to do with you? Do you think the Crown Prince will believe that?"

"This, I'm not..."

Lu Wanting's face turned pale, and her body went limp as she collapsed to the ground.

"Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss..."

He Yaya stepped forward and managed to help her up, thinking to herself that her mistress had fallen, fallen into Wu Weiwei's hands.

At Biyunting, the young master stayed there to comfort Wu Weiwei after she had been wronged.

I saw her tossing and turning all night, sleeping very restlessly.

He watched as she trembled, nestled tightly in his arms, clinging to him.

Knowing that she had been wronged, Lu Hanting was only thinking about how to make it up to her.

Stroking her delicate face, Lu Hanting murmured softly, "It seems it's time to promote you."

Eventually, drowsiness overcame him, and he fell asleep without realizing it.

After he fell asleep, Wu Weiwei, who was in his arms, opened her eyes and a happy smile appeared on her lips.

The next day.

When Lu Hanting woke up, he found that the beautiful woman beside him was no longer there, and he immediately felt a sense of loss.

"Prince, are you awake?"

Wu Weiwei came in and helped him wash up and get dressed.

Lu Hanting looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Why are you being so attentive today?

"I learned a new skill from Sister Chen today."

I've made your favorite pan-fried xiaolongbao, Eight Treasures Jade Liquid Soup, and steamed eggs with clams. Your Highness, please try my cooking.

They're about to promote her, but all she has to do is have Sister Chen cook her a nice meal. What's so difficult about that?

Seeing her eagerness to show off her treasure, Lu Hanting let her pull him towards the dining room.

The atmosphere at Yong An Tang today is quite unusual.

"Grandma, please have mercy! Please spare Ting'er!"

She's still young and doesn't understand... Please, for the sake of her past filial piety, give her a chance to make amends!
