Shang Ruoyi's expression suddenly turned cold.

"You are fickle-minded?" Shang Ruoyi said word by word: "Are you sure that everything you said is true?"

The eldest lady sneered: "Of course it's true. Although I don't know who the adulterer is, I am the only one who knows the ugly things your mother did."

Shang Ruoyi's eyes were slightly cold: "Since Madam is so sure, then tell me how my mother was so fickle."

"You are not the Prime Minister's flesh and blood. You are a bastard, a bastard who even knows who his biological father is!" The eldest lady raised her head slightly, "Pregnant before marriage, the father is unknown, the Crown Prince's wife even knows who his father is. If such news spreads, what do you think the world will think? What will everyone in the Dingwang Palace think?"

The eldest lady thought that what she said would scare her very much, but she didn't expect that she would laugh out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

After a while, Shang Ruoyi stopped laughing: "Then I really have to thank you for telling me this."

"What's the meaning?"

"You just said that I'm Shangnian's biological mother. You think I'll be sad, right?" She said with a smile, "Shangnian did such a stupid thing. Do you think I care about being his daughter? Do you think I care about the identity of a concubine's daughter in the prime minister's mansion?"

Shang Ruoyi's words made the eldest lady and Shang Yufu feel depressed.

"On the contrary, I am very lucky. I am lucky that I am Shangnian's biological daughter. Otherwise, the Dingguo Palace would really tolerate me."

She yawned, with a slightly tired look on her face: "If you want to save him, I can show you a way." She looked at Shang Yufu: "Since you are the prince's concubine appointed by the emperor, the person you should look for most should be the prince."

Prince!

Shang Yufu was shocked.

yes!

She also has a prince!

"I'm tired, Shaoyao, please show me around!" Shang Ruoyi waved her hand and left without even looking at the Madam and Shang Yufu.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, a dark figure walked in.

When the Madam and Shang Yufu saw the person coming, they were stunned for a moment.

I didn’t expect it to be He Jingheng.

The eldest lady's eyes rolled and she came forward with a flattering smile on her face.

"Xian Xu." The first lady said with a smile, "I didn't expect to see Xian Xu today."

He Jingheng glanced at her and said, "This is the Dingwang Palace. Do you think it's strange to see me?"

The eldest lady knew that she had said something wrong and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Shang Yufu's eyes fell on his legs. Looking at his handsome appearance now, she couldn't help feeling happy.

Everyone knew that the prince was disabled. She didn't want to spend her life with a disabled person, and she was even more willing to live under the ridicule of others. If she had not chosen to cancel the engagement, the man in front of her would be hers now, and she would not have been in such a desperate situation.

"Prince." Shang Yufu said softly, "Prince, please forgive my father! I beg you." Her tears kept falling, "As long as Prince doesn't pursue it again, Yufu will do anything you want."

He Jingheng sneered when he heard this: "Anything is fine?"

Shang Yufu nodded: "Anything is fine."

"But I want everything except Shangnian's life." He Jingheng looked at Shang Yufu with cold eyes: "When you used Ruoyi as bait, exploited her, and abandoned her, did you ever think that this day would come? You hurt the person I care about most, do you think I will do as you wish?"

The person you care about most?

When Shang Yufu heard this, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

I regret it very much.

"Prince, Prince, I know I was wrong. I should regret the engagement and give up our engagement, but the prince insisted on marrying me, so I had to obey!" Shang Yufu cried, "Prince, please, let my father go!"

"Heh." He Jingheng sneered: "You should be glad that you broke off the engagement." He looked at her with contempt: "Otherwise, you might have died a long time ago."

What?

"Do you think that anything can enter the palace of our Prince Ding?"

He Jingheng's words made Shang Yufu feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

I had just offered myself to him, but he didn't even look at me.

She is obviously the legitimate daughter! Why should Shang Ruoyi, a lowly concubine's daughter who doesn't even know who her father is, be a bastard? Why could she be favored by a passionate man like He Jingheng?

I am willing! How could she be willing?

"Prince." She was about to tell Shang Ruoyi's life story when she was interrupted by the eldest lady.

"Your Highness, my daughter's words and actions were rude. Please forgive me." The eldest lady whispered, "She is extremely worried about her father's affairs. Please don't blame me if I have offended her in any way." She pinched Shang Yufu hard. Shang Yufu felt pain and quickly closed her mouth.

After leaving the Dingguo Palace and getting on the carriage, Shang Yufu said angrily, "Mother, why did you stop me just now? Why did you let the prince reveal her true face?" She twisted her handkerchief, wishing she could tear it into pieces: "I want to see, when he knows Shang Ruoyi's humble identity, will he still hold her in his hands like he does now."

"There's no need to rush this matter." The eldest lady said coldly, "Since she doesn't care who her father is, let's find her a father. Since she is willing to be the second daughter of the prime minister's mansion, let her know how important a noble family is."

"What mother means is..."

The eldest lady had a determined smile on her face: "Just wait!"

Shang Ruoyi returned to the room and thought of what the eldest lady had said. It seemed that Shangnian had known from the beginning that her mother was her child. Judging from the time she was born, her mother was already three months pregnant when she married Shangnian. Since Shangnian knew it from the beginning and still doubted whether he wanted to marry her, it meant that Shangnian had some plans for her mother.

In her memory, she had lived a good life for a few years when she was born. Later, because the Wei family fell into poverty and she had to pay more money, Shangnian began to allow the eldest lady to torture them.

The fact that Shangnian could become the prime minister was also directly related to the money the Wei family was willing to give him.

The Wei family was once at the apex of the capital, but their situation was no better than that of the Ling family. Most of the remaining descendants of the Wei family have already left their hometowns, and few of them are still alive and well today.

It is said that when the Wei family went bankrupt, they were penniless and all the shops had long been transferred to other families.

Wei family, Ling family.

Shang Ruoyi's heart sank. She always felt that the demise of the two families might be related, but she didn't want to say it out loud.

"What's wrong?" He Jingheng saw her frowning face as soon as he walked in: "But what happened?"
