After that, she claimed to the public that he had gone mad and locked him up. She even openly kept a gigolo in the mansion. It was truly despicable!

If that pretty boy hadn't been the eldest grandson of his maternal uncle's aunt, and if he hadn't given all his secret stash to that kid, the kid wouldn't have been able to coax Princess Bao Hui into releasing him.

The prince consort's hatred turned into a sinister grin. Bao Hui ruined him, and he would ruin her too!

So he left in a huff and quietly went to Chaoyang's place.

When the gatekeeper saw the prince consort enter, he was about to send him away, but the prince consort stuffed a golden bean into his mouth and he didn't say anything.

“I haven’t seen Chaoyang in a long time. I’ve only come to persuade her,” the prince consort said, his face full of worry for his daughter. “She’ll be out soon.”

Xiao Si was somewhat suspicious. The prince consort used to spend his days indulging in pleasure and debauchery. When had he ever cared about the county princess?

But after looking at the gold beans in his hand, he said, "Then hurry up."

Seeing that Xiao Si was accommodating, the prince consort quickly agreed, but he was almost knocked out by a teacup thrown by Chaoyang as soon as he stepped into the door.

What are you doing here?

Chaoyang snorted after recognizing the person who had come.

At this moment, Chaoyang was no longer the malnourished person who staggered with every step when Princess Baohui brought him back. Although he was still a bit thin, his skin was much fairer and his face was much rosier. With the reflection of silks and satins and gold and silver jewelry, he looked radiant.

The prince consort quickly stepped inside and said with concern, "I've come to see you."

While expressing concern, she didn't forget to criticize Bao Hui, saying, "Your mother is really something, how could she be so heartless as to lock you up!"

Chaoyang is a bit love-struck and has a bad temper, but having never experienced fatherly love since childhood, she doesn't have much affection for the prince consort. Plus, knowing his petty nature, she's completely unmoved by his attempts to sow discord.
