My stepsister tried to steal the prince's hand in marriage, but little did she know I had been

A crisp, resounding slap landed on Chen Che's face.

The moment the slap landed, everyone present was stunned.

Wen Yitong's face flushed red, and she stared at Wan Niang and Chen Che with hatred in her eyes.

She had finally broken free from Granny Lin, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw Chen Che and this woman being all lovey-dovey.

How could someone as proud as Wen Yitong bear such an injustice?

Her face was almost contorted in anger, her eyes blazing with fury.

"How dare you keep a mistress?" Wen Yitong felt as if her internal organs were being burned to ashes by jealousy. She had followed the clues here in order to find out the truth.

But she never imagined that the truth would be so unbearable!

She said bitterly, "Do you even care about our marriage anymore?"

The Wen family was once a prominent and prestigious family, while the Chen family had long since fallen into decline.

This marriage was a step up for Chen Che, yet Chen Che dared to…

Thinking of the news she heard this morning, Wen Yitong trembled uncontrollably.

Wan Niang secretly shed tears. She remained calm and naturally wouldn't get angry because of these words, but Chen Che's face turned ashen, and he grabbed Wen Yitong's hand that was trying to slap Wan Niang.

"You're actually protecting her?" Wen Yitong cried out in pain as her wrist ached, staring at Chen Che in disbelief.

For a moment, many thoughts flashed through Wen Yitong's mind, but in the end, her anger overcame her reason.

"Chen Che!" Wen Yitong suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Don't forget who you are!"

She raised her chin, looking extremely arrogant.

Chen Che's status was naturally inferior to that of Wen Yitong, who came from the Duke of Wen's mansion.

But these are the kinds of words that men hate the most.

Especially Chen Che, who is proud, arrogant, sensitive and suspicious.

In just a moment, Chen Che's eyes darkened.

When Granny Lin arrived, she happened to hear those words.

She had a bad feeling in her heart.

As expected, Chen Che sneered, "Is this what you, Miss Wen, think, or what the Duke of Wen's mansion thinks?"

In the past, he might have had some reservations.

But now everyone knows that Miss Wen has become a county princess and the future Princess Consort of Jing, and is deeply loved by Prince Jing.

The marriage between the Wen and Chen families had long been common knowledge.

In this way, Wen Yitong had no way out but to marry him.

Lin Mama understood this point, which is why she tried to dissuade Wen Yitong.

The marriage is already a done deal. Wen Yitong's actions will only earn her Chen Che's dislike and nothing more.

So what about the Duke of Wen's mansion?

A woman follows her husband after marriage. Even if Wen Yitong relies on the power of the Duke of Wen's mansion, what can she do after arriving at the Chen family? Madam Wen can protect Wen Yitong for a while, but not forever.

Wen Yitong is proud and arrogant, considering herself to be of noble status. With a personality like hers, who knows how much suffering she will endure if she goes to the Chen family.

However, the die is cast...

Granny Lin was both angry and annoyed, and could only stop Wen Yitong.

"Miss, please go back quickly!"

If we continue talking like this, who knows how much more trouble we might cause.

As she spoke, she supported Wen Yitong and whispered, "What man doesn't have female confidantes when he's out in the world? Even if the master loves his wife dearly, doesn't he still have concubines like Hua?"

While trying to persuade Wen Yitong, Granny Lin also tried to take Wen Yitong away.

Wen Yitong's expression was ferocious as she shouted, "No! At least..."

At least Xie Jinghan didn't!

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Wen Yitong swallowed them back.

She looked at Chen Che, who was staring at her with a cold expression, and her heart sank.

If it were Wen Shuyao, how would she handle this situation? Would she simply endure it?

Isn't Wen Shuyao afraid that Chen Che's heart will be completely seduced by this vixen?

For a moment, many questions flashed across Wen Yitong's eyes.

Seeing her like this, Chen Che felt a surge of disgust.

Aside from the fact that Wen Yitong was favored, he was not satisfied with Wen Yitong at all. How could such a boring and arrogant woman become the matriarch of the Chen family?

At this moment, Wen Yitong's face was burning with pain, and for the first time, she began to doubt her choice.

In that instant, Wen Yitong felt all the blood rush to her brain.

She stumbled and almost lost her balance.

"Get out of here!" she shouted angrily.

Even if it meant death, she didn't want anyone to see her in such a wretched state.

As for this vixen...

A fierce glint flashed in Wen Yitong's eyes. She would make her pay back for today's humiliation sooner or later!

Upon returning home, Wen Yitong immediately smashed everything in the house.

Hearing the commotion inside, the maids outside the door trembled like quails.

Going in at this time would only make you a target for Wen Yitong's anger, and no one dared to go in at this time, not even Wen Yitong's personal maid.

It was only after Granny Lin invited Madam Wen over that the commotion inside the room ceased.

"What are you doing now?" Madam Wen frowned. "I've told you long ago that Chen Che is not a good match, why..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Wen Yitong raise her face, which was red from crying, and her eyes were even more bloodshot.

Seeing this, Madam Wen couldn't bring herself to utter the scolding that was on the tip of her tongue.

She even thought of other ways.

"Yi Tong, Chen Che is not a good match for you. The Chen family is a poor family, and Chen Che is just a scholar who passed the imperial examination. How can he be worthy of you?"
