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

Upon hearing that Prince Min had surrounded the Marquis's residence, Wanqiu and Lingfu jumped up in fright.

However, Wu Weiwei glanced at Xiulan unhurriedly.

"What's there to be afraid of? Come on, let's go out."

At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Prince Min boasted that his favorite concubine had escaped to the Marquis of Dingguo's residence, and if the Marquis's residence did not hand her over, he would smash the Marquis's plaque.

Lady Hou was furious when she saw Prince Min loitering arrogantly at the gate of their mansion.

"Songzi, hurry up and go to Biyunting to call Wu Shi over for me."

This is outrageous! Ting'er has only been gone for a few days, and she has already caused such a huge disaster for the Marquis's mansion.

They actually managed to lure someone else's concubine to their Marquis's mansion.

Songzi was about to go in and call Wu Weiwei when she saw her come out with two maids.

Wearing a light blue-green silk dress, Wu Weiwei walked over with graceful steps as the skirt fluttered in the breeze.

Upon seeing the woman in flowing robes walking towards him like a fairy, Prince Min's eyes burned with rage, almost turning completely red.

He told himself that if Wu Weiwei apologized to him properly later, he was willing to forgive her for deceiving him last night.

Wu Weiwei stepped forward and bowed to Madam Hou, only to be met with a cold glance from Madam Hou.

“Ms. Wu, this matter started because of you, and you must deal with it properly today.”

If this is handled improperly and damages the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, don't wait for Ting'er to return; you should leave on your own!

Lady Hou wasn't worried about what earth-shattering things Prince Min might do.

After all, she knew that Prince Min always loved to scare people.

If you asked him to rebel, he would probably scare himself to death first.

But recently she heard some rumors that Prince Min had taken a fancy to Lady Wu and that there was something ambiguous between the two.

Although it is very likely to be just a rumor, there is no smoke without fire.

If this matter isn't resolved properly today, she wouldn't mind letting Wu Weiwei pack her bags and leave.

After delivering her aggressive statement, Lady Hou left with her entourage.

As Qingwen passed by Wu Weiwei, she glanced at her with a smile in her eyes.

Isn't Wu Weiwei usually very arrogant?

Now look at her, it's only been a few days since the prince left, and she couldn't stand the loneliness and wanted to seduce other men.

As expected, a concubine is just a concubine; she only knows how to use her looks to please men and has no dignity whatsoever that of a lady from a respectable family would have.

Lingfu and Wanqiu both looked very unwell.

They looked at their master with concern.

But Wu Weiwei looked down, seemingly in a very low mood.

Xiulan, watching from behind, looked worried as she was being scolded by the Lady of the Marquis, but secretly she was pleased with herself.

If it weren't for her meddling, she might have already won the favor of Prince Min, instead of being reduced to being a maidservant to a lowly concubine like her.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Wu Weiwei felt no worry whatsoever.

Watching Lady Hou leave, Prince Min stepped forward.

"Wu Weiwei, just tell me how we should resolve today's matter?"

He knew that what he did today would alarm the Lady Hou, or even the Old Madam, but so what?

Wu Weiwei tricked herself. Since ancient times, women have suffered losses in matters of men and women. Why would someone with such a bad reputation be afraid of being pointed at and scolded?

Of course, the excuse he used to come to the Marquis's residence today was perfectly legitimate: he accused Wu Weiwei of seducing his concubine.

He wanted to see how she would handle him.

However, since Wu Weiwei dared to scheme against him, why would she be afraid of him coming to her door to demand her return?

She looked at Prince Min and calmly said:

“Your Highness, Xiulan has reached the end of her term and should be released from the palace.”

If you hadn't forced her, how could she have been willing to leave the palace and become a concubine in your Prince Min's mansion?

Furthermore, you voluntarily sent her to me yesterday to be my maid; how can you say I abducted her?

"You're just making excuses. You clearly tricked me, which is why I agreed to let her go."

Thinking about how I spent the whole night freezing in the dark alley yesterday, if I weren't in relatively good health, I'm afraid I would be lying in bed unconscious for days.

But he couldn't say this in front of everyone.

Being stood up by a woman late at night and left to freeze all night would damage his reputation as Prince Min.

Secondly, Wu Weiwei was, after all, Lu Hanting's concubine, and her status was officially registered with the government, making her status legitimate.

If he were to reveal the truth about their rendezvous in public, Lu Hanting might not let him off the hook when he returned.

"Your Highness, there is a saying that goes, 'A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.'"

Are you trying to act like a villain?

Wu Weiwei stared intently at him.

"Whether I'm a gentleman or a villain is none of your business. I only have one question for you: are you going to return this person or not?"

King Min's expression suddenly changed.

If I can't have her, what's the point of being a gentleman?

Wu Weiwei looked at the arrogant Prince Min.

However, he turned his head to look at Xiulan, who was standing behind Lingfu.

Her eyes flickered, and she asked, "Xiulan, you are the person involved. Tell me, are you willing to return to the Prince's mansion as Prince Min's concubine?"

Xiulan, who was called out, watched the commotion, but she never expected that Wu Weiwei would push her out without saying a word.

She walked forward shakily.

Seeing her like this, a hint of disdain flashed in Prince Min's eyes.

In front of the real thing, the imposter is indeed not worthy of being presented.

"Wang Xiulan, what do you have to say?"

Although his purpose in coming today was not for her.

But Wu Weiwei has degraded herself, and he is determined to retaliate today.

He couldn't take his anger out on Wu Weiwei, but he had the power to decide what to do with the palace maid bestowed upon him by his mother.

Wang Xiulan glanced at Min Wang, then turned back to look at Wu Weiwei.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

Not far from them, Lin Fan watched this scene with his hands clenched tightly.

When Xiulan saw him off, he hadn't gone far. But when he saw Prince Min heading towards the Marquis of Dingguo's residence, he turned back.

The reason he didn't step forward was twofold: first, he didn't want to complicate the matter; and second, he believed that his employer, Wu Weiwei, would handle Xiulan's situation properly.

But judging from how she's pushing Xiulan forward now, isn't she trying to force her back to Prince Min's side?

If that's the case, she can forget about making him do things for her willingly!

Wu Weiwei glanced casually in the direction he was standing.

Haha, he boasted that his childhood sweetheart was still devoted to him.

He still thinks of her as the innocent and shy little girl she was ten years ago, but today she's going to give him a good show.

"Prince Min, I, I..."

Wang Xiulan hesitated.

If she publicly admits today that she wants to return to Prince Min's residence, then all her hard work putting on an act a few days ago will have been for naught.

Prince Min's impression of her remained based on her unwavering loyalty from a few days ago. If she were to return to Prince Min's residence with him today, the outcome would certainly not be as he had hoped.

But if she misses this opportunity, she may end up with nothing.

Wang Xiulan was caught in a dilemma.

What is she hesitating about?

She just told him that she preferred him.

He also promised her that he would earn enough money for her to live on for the rest of her life.

If she didn't want to, Wu Weiwei could definitely refuse Prince Min on her behalf.

Lin Fan watched her remain expressionless for a long time, and a hint of coldness gradually appeared in his eyes.
