He was, after all, the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion. His status, if not extremely noble, was still among the most powerful and influential in the capital. They had already kissed and hugged, and he was already avoiding him, but instead he was playing tricks on him. Was he really that bad?

Lu Cheng knew that forcing things wouldn't work, and since the girl didn't like him, he wouldn't pester her. But he just couldn't understand why she didn't know who he was. They were chatting and laughing while strolling through the lantern festival, but when she found out he was the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping, her expression immediately changed, and she left without a word.

If there really was a deep-seated hatred between their two families, he would have accepted it, but she said there wasn't, and then she played him for a fool.

He's never been played so badly before in his entire life.

They were even tricked without even knowing who tricked them!

He has completely lost face.

The waiter brought over the wine, and Lu Cheng poured himself a glass.

He drank it all in one gulp.

Then he slammed the wine glass heavily onto the table.

The wine glass shattered into pieces from the impact.

Cheng Yi, the eldest son of the Right Prime Minister's residence, walked in and happened to see this scene. He looked at the Prince of Yanping and Lu Cheng.

Then another person found out that Lu Cheng had been tricked.

Lu Cheng, "..."

My hands are itching; I want to fight.

He would have stepped in if he hadn't been unable to defeat both Tang Ze and the Prince of Yanping by himself.

Tang Ze walked to the window, fanning himself with a folding fan, and watched the people coming and going on the street. Then he saw Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan in the crowd.

Tang Ze said, "Brother Jingyan is shopping with the Princess."

The Crown Prince of Yanping laughed and said, "He's already having morning sickness on behalf of the Princess, so what's so surprising about him accompanying her shopping?"

Tang Ze tapped his shoulder with his folding fan and said, "Now you can learn how to pamper your wife, Brother Cheng, don't you think?"
