"Master, everything has been taken care of." A man dressed in black suddenly appeared in the room and said respectfully.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now," the Third Prince said to the visitor.

"Yes, Master." Then, just as he had come, the man left the room silently.

After everyone left, the Third Prince put down the letter in his hand and raised his head.

His face held a deep, mysterious look.

If you dare to scheme against Yuanyuan, don't blame him for taking such ruthless measures.

If Jiang Nuanyi hadn't provoked Yuanyuan, she could have lived a peaceful life as her mistress, but now, naturally, that's not the case.

As for Zhong Xiangyu, it would be best for him to get married as soon as possible and stop thinking about people he shouldn't be thinking about.

The eldest daughter of the Prince of Pingxi's family was specially chosen by him.

Firstly, his appearance was not good, which did not meet the preferences of wives of men in the capital. In addition, he was away from home for many years and his personality was somewhat domineering.

With Zhong Xiangyu in her hands, he naturally had no time to think about Yuanyuan.

Of course, this was also because he had secretly contacted the Prince of Pingxi before, but the Prince was subtly biased towards the Fifth Prince. Since the Prince was not of use to him, there was nothing to worry about.

Of course, the person who just appeared also played a part.

Although in name he was his master.

However, he only served him for ten years.

I will leave in ten years.

That person was originally a martial arts practitioner who was being chased and was on the verge of death when he was saved by him.

After taking her revenge, she stayed by his side.

Because of his presence, he can handle some troublesome matters without being noticed by others.

Suddenly remembering that he hadn't seen Yuanyuan for several days, the Third Prince stood up from his chair with a smile on his face and then walked towards the door.

Only the lingering aroma of tea remains.

Meanwhile, before Zhong Xiangyu even left the room, rumors about his affair with one man and two women were already circulating everywhere.

When Zhong Xiangyu returned home, he was greeted with a loud slap.

"Look what you've done!" Zhong Xiangyu's father shouted angrily at Zhong Xiangyu.

"Father, this...this is someone framing me." Despite being slapped, Zhong Xiangyu didn't care and quickly explained to his father.

"Why frame you instead of someone else? Have you gotten into some trouble lately?!"

"Dad, I'm innocent! I haven't been anywhere lately, where would I go to cause trouble?" Zhong Xiangyu shouted, looking aggrieved.

"Because of the good deed you did, I've lost all face!"

"That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that there's actually a legitimate daughter from the Prince of Pingxi's family among them!" Zhong Xiangyu's father said, his face turning extremely ugly.

"The only course of action now is to apologize to the Prince of Pingxi and then marry the Prince of Pingxi's legitimate daughter with the proper rites for a principal wife."

"Father, I don't want to! I don't want to marry the legitimate daughter of the Prince of Pingxi!" Zhong Xiangyu's face darkened upon hearing this, and he then argued.

"Shut up! You bullied her, you have to marry her whether you like it or not!"

"It's just a pity for your cousin. She used to be the rightful wife, but now she can't be. I'm too ashamed to even go to your uncle's house."

At this point, Zhong Xiangyu's biological father looked at Zhong Xiangyu with a furious expression, as if he was about to slap him.

After realizing his father's intentions, Zhong Xiangyu quickly ran to the side.

"Father, Father, I was wrong," Zhong Xiangyu pleaded, raising both hands.

"Come, I have instructed the steward to prepare apology gifts. You will come with me to the Prince of Pingxi's residence to apologize."

"Yes, Father." Although Zhong Xiangyu was very unwilling, after doing this, even if he wanted to deny it, he couldn't.

Afterwards, the two left the mansion, boarded a carriage, and headed towards the location of the Prince of Pingxi's mansion.

On the other hand,

After returning to the manor, Jiang Nuanyi looked extremely aggrieved.

"Mom, what am I going to do?" Jiang Nuanyi cried and leaned on her mother's shoulder.

"My poor, darling daughter, how could this happen to you?!"

"Nuan Nuan, tell your mother, how did you end up there?" Jiang Nuan Yi's mother asked hurriedly after realizing what had happened, her face showing a hint of confusion.

“Mother, I don’t know why I ended up there. I was enjoying the scenery, and after a while, I was about to go find you when I suddenly lost consciousness while walking along a small path,” Jiang Nuanyi said, trying to recall.

"Did you see who it was?"

"No."

"Who on earth dared to harm my daughter! If I find out, I will not let this go!" Jiang Nuanyi's mother said angrily.

"Mother, what should we do now? Am I destined to be nothing more than a concubine?!" Jiang Nuanyi asked with a look of resentment.

“Nuan Nuan, if that person is just someone from a less prestigious family than ours, then you are the only one who can be the legal wife.”

“But now, we can’t compete with the eldest daughter of the Prince of Pingxi’s mansion!” Jiang Nuanyi’s mother also looked annoyed.

"But now that things have come to this, Nuannuan, if you don't want to enter your cousin's backyard, your mother will send you to a place of seclusion. It's better than being inferior to others."

"Mother, I...I don't want to. I've wanted to marry my cousin since I was little. I won't go into seclusion." Jiang Nuanyi shook her head and said after hearing her mother's plan.

His face showed obvious reluctance.

"If you don't go to cultivate yourself, then I'm afraid you'll have to suffer."

"Nuan Nuan, have you thought it through?" Jiang Nuan Yi's mother asked seriously.

"Mom, I've made up my mind. I'm going to go into my cousin's backyard," Jiang Nuanyi said resolutely.

“Since that’s the case, I will fight for your best interests. After all, you should have been the legal wife, but now you’ve lost that rightful position. Your aunt’s family has wronged you,” Jiang Nuanyi’s mother said with a serious expression.
