The heir of the Duke of Maoguo glanced at the heir of the Prince of Yanping and said, "They say you learn from your mistakes, but the heir of the Prince of Yanping isn't going to change his habit of meddling in other people's business?"

Few people knew that the Crown Prince of Yanping and Cheng Yao were in love and deeply in love.

In the eyes of the heir of the Duke of Maoguo, the heir of the Prince of Yanping got into trouble because he meddled in the affairs of the son of the Princess of Huyang. He almost lost his head and barely escaped with his life. Now he offended him again for the sake of an unrelated hunter. He was, after all, the heir of the Duke of Maoguo's mansion. He really didn't take him seriously at all.

The Prince of Yanping could not stand the way the Prince of Maoguo was bullying others. He was about to retort when Xie Jingyan spoke first, his eyes sharp as knives, "Apologize to my princess."

The heir of the Duke of Mao laughed. To ask him to apologize to the Queen Consort of Prince Ling in public? Prince Ling was taking himself too seriously. The heir of the Duke of Mao said, "You want me to apologize? Let's see if you, Prince Ling, have the ability."

He clenched his fist and swung it at Xie Jingyan, but before it reached Xie Jingyan, it was stopped by the Prince of Yanping.

Xie Jingyan risked his life to save him and even preserved his title as Prince of Yanping. Could he just stand by and watch the heir of the Duke of Mao attack Xie Jingyan? Even knowing that the heir of the Duke of Mao was no match for Xie Jingyan, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.

that's all--

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo and the heir of the Prince of Yanping got into a fight.

They used fists and feet.

The fighting was fierce.

More and more people gathered to watch the spectacle, completely blocking the road.

The eldest son-in-law rode over, his brow furrowed as he looked at the crowded throng.

The next thing he saw was the Crown Prince of Maoguo and the Crown Prince of Yanping fighting. He glanced at the guard, who leaped between the two fighters. He grabbed the Crown Prince of Maoguo's shoulder, and when the Crown Prince of Yanping kicked at him, the guard threw the Crown Prince of Maoguo backward and caught the kick.

The two fighters were forced to stop, and when they turned around, they saw the crowd making way for the prince consort to ride over.

The eldest son-in-law frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The eldest son-in-law asked the heir of the Duke of Mao, but the heir did not answer.

Tang Ze said, "If the heir of the Duke of Maoguo dares not say it, then I will say it for you."

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo gritted his teeth in anger.

The eldest son-in-law looked at Tang Ze, who bowed and told him about yesterday's hunt, then said, "Yesterday, we forced the heir of the Duke of Mao to release the hunter, but today he's causing trouble for him again and even frightened Princess Ling..."

With each word Tang Ze spoke, the Crown Prince of Maoguo's face darkened further, and the Imperial Son-in-Law knew that what Tang Ze said was true.

He had watched the heir of the Duke of Mao grow up, and the eldest son-in-law knew his temperament very well.

The Imperial Son-in-Law glanced at Xie Jingyan and said to the Heir Apparent of the Duke of Mao, "Apologize to Princess Ling."

The heir of the Duke of Mao clenched his fist. "They were the ones who meddled first, I..."

He had just finished speaking when Shen Wan suddenly clutched her stomach and said, "My stomach hurts so much, I'm afraid I'm having trouble with the baby."

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo turned green.

Someone who survives drowning, being stabbed, and falling off a cliff, is supposed to have a miscarriage just because a rabbit startled them? Who are you kidding?!

The Crown Prince of Maoguo was certain that Shen Wan was faking it, and the eldest son-in-law and the onlookers also knew it. However, since Shen Wan was faking a miscarriage, this trick must have worked.

The Maoguo Duke's Mansion is the Empress Dowager's maternal family. The Maoguo Duke's heir is arrogant and domineering in the capital, and no one dares to interfere. However, if Shen Wan is frightened and her pregnancy is threatened, it will definitely reach the Emperor's ears. The Emperor will surely intervene, and the Maoguo Duke's heir's inferior skills, narrow ambitions, desire to kill the hunter, and indulgence of his subordinates in bullying the innocent will no longer be concealed. The Emperor will definitely punish him.

The heir of the Duke of Mao almost ground his teeth to powder. He kicked the servant standing to the side, who was forced to kneel down with a thud. The servant was in so much pain that sweat poured from his forehead. He apologized to Shen Wan, "I shouldn't have caused trouble for the hunters and disturbed Princess Ling. Please forgive me, Princess Ling."

After the servant apologized, the heir of the Duke of Maoguo said, "I have not been strict with my subordinates. I will definitely discipline them more strictly when I get back."

These words were practically squeezed out from between the teeth of the heir of the Duke of Maoguo.

They were unwilling to pay the price, but the Prince of Yanping and the others knew that it was already quite difficult to get the Prince of Maoguo to submit. If it weren't for the Grand Prince Consort's words, they would have had to pin the Prince of Maoguo to the ground.

The Grand Prince Consort looked at the hunter, who was eighteen or nineteen years old and made a living by hunting. Suddenly, the Grand Prince Consort thought of the son of Princess Huyang, who had risked her life to give birth to him but was stolen and taken away, and whom she had never seen since...

When he was living away from home, was he often bullied like this?

The prince consort's gaze lingered on the hunter's face for a while before he looked away and instructed the heir of the Duke of Mao, "Buy all of his prey."

After saying this, the prince consort rode away.

Prince Yanping and his entourage paid their respects to the eldest son-in-law, as did Prince Maoguo, but when he looked up, his eyes were filled with an extremely sinister glint.

He turned and left, but the servant behind him dared not disobey the orders of the eldest son-in-law. He took out a piece of silver from his belt and stuffed it into the hunter's hand. Then, he picked up the game and caught up with the heir of the Duke of Mao.

Tang Ze looked at the hunter and asked, "Have you found the person you're looking for?"

The hunter shook his head.

Tang Ze then said, "The heir of the Duke of Mao is vindictive. The more we protect you, the less likely he is to let you go. You should leave the capital as soon as possible."

The hunter, filled with gratitude, thanked the Prince of Yanping and his entourage.

Meanwhile, the heir of the Duke of Maoguo walked away, seething with anger. His servant chased after him with some wild game, which only fueled the heir's rage. "Throw all of this away!"

It's such a waste to just throw away something I bought with money.

But even if the servant had a few extra lives, he wouldn't dare disobey the Crown Prince of Maoguo, and quickly threw the wild game far away.

The servant said, "The Prince Consort is really something. The Prince of Yanping killed his son, and not only does he not hold a grudge against the Prince of Yanping and his ilk, he even sides with them and demands that Your Highness apologize to Princess Ling."

The young master of the Duke of Maoguo was already furious, and the servant's words only added fuel to the fire. The servant suggested, "The young master of the Prince of Yanping can't protect that hunter forever. Once they leave, I'll have someone arrest the hunter so that Your Highness can calm down."

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo stopped in his tracks. Yesterday he was forced to release the hunter, and today he was forced to apologize to Princess Ling, a mere woman, because of the hunter. This was a great humiliation for him.

The heir of the Duke of Maoguo wanted to control a hunter, and no one could stop him!

The heir of the Duke of Mao gestured for a servant to come closer and whispered a few instructions, saying, "If you mess this up again, come back to me with your head!"

The servant readily agreed and went to do the job.

After thanking him, the hunter slung his bow and arrows over his shoulder and left.

Watching his departing figure, Shen Wan said to Xie Jingyan, "This hunter's features are very similar to yours."

Xie Jingyan looked down at Shen Wan, his arm around her waist tightening unconsciously. "Aren't you looking at things a little too closely?"

Shen Wan, "..."

Isn't it because the eldest son-in-law stared at her for a long time, and she also glanced at him a couple more times?

That's where you can see things more clearly.

Why is this jerk so jealous of everything? Does he not even allow her to glance at other men?
