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

Seeing Wang Xiulan's pleading look, Wu Weiwei simply smiled and remained silent.

"Did she do something wrong? Why is she kneeling here in front of so many people?"

Chen Furong asked suspiciously.

Because she had only returned to the capital yesterday, she was unaware that her future mother-in-law, Consort Chen, had bestowed a palace maid upon Prince Min.

Wu Weiwei smiled and looked at the lonely figure not far away.

Just as she was hesitating whether to speak, she heard Prince Min say urgently, "Furong, this is a family matter of the Marquis's residence."

Why do you care so much? Come on, I'll treat you to your favorite braised pork knuckle at Fu Hui Lou!

If Chen Furong were to get involved, not only would Wang Xiulan's life be in danger, but he would probably have to carry a bundle of thorns to the general's mansion to beg for forgiveness.

He knew how to choose between an insignificant concubine and a disgraceful situation.

Seeing his eagerness to change his mind, Wu Weiwei curled her lips and deliberately said, "Prince Min, are you sure Xiulan is my maid and not yours?"

"Wu Weiwei, what nonsense are you spouting in front of Furong? Do you think I don't know what my maid looks like?"

King Min looked at her and warned her with a dark expression.

“Li Chengmin, you’re not allowed to raise your voice at Weiwei. Also, you haven’t answered her question yet.”

When King Min looked at the burly, dark-faced woman with a face like a pancake, he felt his stomach churn.

He's just unlucky to have been stuck with an ugly woman like Chen Furong in this life.

He forced back the discomfort in his stomach and managed to force a smile onto his face.

“Miss Wu, I am certain that this lowly maid named Wang Xiulan is from your household and will not cause you any more trouble because of this matter.”

"Yes, I heard you clearly. Then I hope that Prince Min will keep his word and act as a gentleman."

Wu Weiwei made a pointed remark.

Seeing that Prince Min had admitted his mistake, Chen Furong nodded in satisfaction.

"Weiwei, I just got back. The manor still needs some tidying up. I'll definitely invite you over when it's done."

Wu Weiwei nodded to her.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to send me the invitation."

When Prince Min heard that Chen Furong wanted to invite her to his residence, he immediately turned sour.

However, Chen Furong didn't care about him and excitedly climbed into the carriage.

Chen Furong's carriage led the way, with Prince Min following on horseback, and the two left the Marquis's residence together.

After the two left, Wu Weiwei stopped smiling.

She looked at Wang Xiulan, who was still kneeling, and then at the figure not far away.

Chao Lingfu and the others said, "Let's go back!"

As Wu Weiwei and her group left, Lin Fan emerged from the shadows and walked up to her with a bitter expression.

"Xiulan, have you forgotten the promise we made when we were little?"

Wang Xiulan looked up, "Brother Lin, you, you believe me."

I was forced into it; I didn't really want to go to Prince Min's residence..."

"Ha ha……"

Lin Fan smiled with a pained expression.

“I clearly told you that no one could force you if you didn’t want to, but you…”

Xiulan has changed; she is no longer the innocent little girl next door he knew in his childhood.

Lin Fan looked at her, then at himself.

Yes, with his current frail body, he can't give her the happiness she wants.

The doctor said he wouldn't live past thirty, so why should he be a burden to her?

"Go on, go find Prince Min, I think he will definitely take you in."

Watching him stagger out of the Marquis's residence, Wang Xiulan wanted to go forward, but she stopped herself in her tracks.

After a while.

Lingfu, who was standing at the courtyard gate, saw Wang Xiulan walking towards them.

"Aunt Wu, please take me in. Xiulan will work hard from now on and will never have any other thoughts again."

Wang Xiulan now has nowhere to go.

She had been in the palace for fifteen years, and her parents had long since passed away.

She does have an older brother, but he's a gambler, and she's afraid that if she goes back to seek refuge with him, he'll sell her off.

The remaining childhood sweethearts she knew no longer wanted her, and she dared not go to Prince Min's place.

Now, only the Marquis's mansion is her place to stay; at least here she can still have food to eat.

If Lin Fan can forgive her then, perhaps she will still have a chance to live.

"Get up!"

Wu Weiwei glanced at her indifferently.

"Xiulan, although you did something wrong today, I can still understand you."

From now on, when you work for me, I only ask one thing: loyalty.

If you can't do it, please leave now.

Wang Xiulan nodded vigorously, "Aunt Wu, I will definitely work diligently in the future and will absolutely be loyal to you."

"Then we'll see how you perform in the future."

Okay, I'm tired too. You can go now!

Wu Weiwei waved to her.

After Wang Xiulan left, Wanqiu asked worriedly, "Why did you keep her here, Aunt?"

Wanqiu always felt that Wang Xiulan had ulterior motives, and that it would be better to kick her out of the mansion and let her fend for herself.

Wu Weiwei glanced at her, "Wanqiu, after all, she was a woman whom Steward Lin once favored."

If I kick her out now, and Steward Lin regrets it later, just think about his personality..."

She didn't want Lin Fan to have a prejudice against her as his boss because of this.

It's just a matter of having a few more chopsticks. If it's confirmed that Lin Fan has given up on her, then it'll be easy. They can just find an excuse to kick Wang Xiulan out.

So that's what it was for.

Wanqiu nodded, immediately understanding Wu Weiwei's intention.

Qiu Shui Pavilion.

Hearing the words from Steward Zhang, Lady Hou knew that Wu Weiwei had handled Prince Min's matter properly, and she nodded in satisfaction.

"This Wu woman is quite clever; she knew to ask Chen Furong from the Anxi General's Mansion to put out the fire..."

Hearing that Wu Weiwei had escaped the Prince Min's entanglement and was even praised by the Lady Hou in person, Qingwen was naturally unhappy.

However, she dared not reveal it easily anymore.

Today's events can only be attributed to Wu Weiwei's good luck.

If given the chance again, she would definitely add fuel to the fire, preferably making her burn herself.

Speaking of Chen Furong, Lady Hou's eyes showed deep thought.

Everyone in the capital knows that Chen Furong is the number one nemesis of Prince Min. Although she is not good-looking, she has a father who is good at fighting.

Of course, she herself is also a formidable character.

At a young age, he followed General Anxi into battle and fought against the enemy, and even made meritorious contributions and received a generous reward from the emperor.

It is likely that after General Anxi retires, Chen Furong will inherit his position as general and become the number one female general since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

It is naturally a blessing for Wu to be able to befriend Chen Furong.

She had never heard her son mention the relationship between Ke Ting'er and Chen Furong, who were fellow disciples.

Well, perhaps Chen Furong is too ugly, and Ting'er probably doesn't want to get involved with her!

Speaking of my son, I wonder how Ting'er is doing in Tongzhou now, and whether he has found that He family member?

Tongzhou.

He Yuyan stumbled out of the prison.

Seeing her young mistress's pale face, Dingxiang, who was waiting outside the prison, quickly stepped forward to support her.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Could it be the son-in-law? The son-in-law...

Seeing the lilac, He Yuyan finally came to her senses.

"Dingxiang, he's here. Lu Hanting has come to Tongzhou..."
